Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 209 I’m here to do a mission

Snap! Snap! Snap!
The gray mouse clapped its hands suddenly:

"Okay! As a hunter, one should dare to take on missions that push one's own limits."

Those who cower and yield will only be swallowed by the mighty tide!

Everyone's eyes were drawn to Chen Qi's two reward notices.

This kid, he not only accepted the missions, but he also accepted the two most dangerous missions!

For a newcomer to dare accept a mission from Black Gloves and Black Hunters is incredibly audacious.

The Black Hunter is currently shrouded in mystery. He recently defeated the Black Boar Shark, and with his strength, killing the newcomer before him would be a piece of cake.

While Black Glove is a masochist, his masochistic tendencies are limited to those stronger than him. As the one who handles Black Glove's dirty work, he can make Chen Qi die as easily as a bug on the street.

The gray mouse placed one leg on the round table, its gaze burning with intensity.

"Newcomer! Although you did a great job, our Hunter Association is different from outside commissions. If you fail to complete the mission, you will be subject to the corresponding punishment."

If you fail, you will need to pay a compensation of 100,000 coins for both tasks.

This is the first time a newcomer has dared to take on his mission since the Rift Tide began.

It's worth noting that even the well-equipped Levin took a full five days before daring to accept the mission he was given.

Chen Qi noticed that the gray rat, now receiving support, was looking at him with the same intense, passionate gaze it would have on a long-desired dream lover.

"I know."

Chen Qi glanced at the two pieces of paper.

Even without a Hunter Association commission, he would actively seek out the task of killing the Shadow of Crime, the Black Gloves.

However, his current strength is not enough to face Black Glove alone. But if, as the intelligence suggests, the target is located in the Blood Blade Pirate Crew's territory, then the difficulty of the mission will be greatly reduced.

As for the Black Hunter's mission, it will be a real test of... his acting skills.

The boxer said helplessly:

"Do you really know? Things aren't as simple as you think. Our Hunter Association values ​​freedom, which means that the moment you accepted this mission, you might already be on their radar..."

I advise you to abandon this decision. Don't let yourself suffer a loss for nothing, don't let your hard-earned money go to waste...

The boxer advised that, in his eyes, the newcomer was far too reckless.

This person is quite nice... Chen Qi hadn't paid much attention to this extraordinary individual before, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Thank you, I'll keep that in mind."

"Is there anyone else?"

The gray mouse looked around, its eyes filled with anticipation.

Have all the newlyweds accepted the gifts? Shouldn't these elderly people express their gratitude?

This guy isn't really using the Hunter Association's mission failure rules to make money... The boxer complained helplessly, then raised his right hand.

Under Chen Qi's leadership, a total of ten people accepted the mission. If they failed, they would have to pay the Hunter Association a million in compensation.

After everyone finished discussing, Gray Rat crumpled up more detailed mission information into a slip of paper and handed it to Chen Qi:

"Newbie, this contains detailed information about these two tasks. Don't share it with anyone."

As a newcomer, you only need to complete half of the tasks to pass the assessment. For example, find the general direction of the Black Hunter, or injure a Black Gloves Shadow of Crime… Well, in short, you don't need to complete all the tasks. Don't worry, even if you fail, I won't ask you for compensation.”

The gray mouse slowly moved its head forward, its tone serious:
"But remember, we in the Hunter Association are just a bunch of money-grubbing guys. We have no blood ties, no brothers, and no love."

If you find yourself in dire straits, we won't even help you collect your corpse. We're just a place to post and complete commissions.

A place where commissions are posted... Chen Qi paused for a moment.

Placing the burden of consequences on the client and the person who accepts the commission as much as possible is one of the fundamental reasons for the Hunter Association's continued existence.

The Hunter Association is not an 'organization', but more like a temporary discussion group.

In a company, mission failures come with severe punishment, but also support and protection. In the Hunter Association, however, one bears all the consequences alone.

This also means that once Chen Qi is targeted by the Black Gloves, he can only rely on himself.

A sharp glint flashed in Gray Rat's eyes; he didn't want the newcomer to have too much affection or expectation for the Hunter Association.

I know, that's why I came to this place... Chen Qi smiled slightly, accepted the two task slips, pushed open the door, and left.

……

……

Black Mine City, Winery, Afternoon.

Chen Qi changed into ordinary hunter's clothes and looked towards the gate of the brewery.

On the Witch's Sea, alcohol is an extremely developed industry, and the Bloodblade Pirate Crew owns numerous distilleries.

Among them, the flower wine that sells well on the Witch's Sea is a product of the Bloodblade Pirate Crew.

At this moment, there were more than thirty armed guards in front of the distillery gate.

Chen Qi sat on a chair outside the winery, holding a photo, pondering his next plan.

According to information provided by the Hunter Association, Black Gloves sent five of its men who successfully infiltrated the brewery.

Generally speaking, the simplest method is to wait near the brewery and then try to assassinate them.

This method is too slow...

Chen Qi took out the 'Blood Blade' that Fenrir had given him.

The Bloodblade Pirate Crew's token; through this token, one can command the members of the Bloodblade Pirate Crew.

Wouldn't it be a better option to directly use this token to command the 'Blood Blade Pirates'?

In this case……

Chen Qi fell into thought.

This way, there's a certain probability that his identity will be exposed, as well as his connection with the Black Hunter.

However, there was no better option than to try and get by... Chen Qi changed into a hunter's outfit to cover his face and walked towards the gate of the brewery.

The moment he approached the distillery, three guns were pointed at him.

"Hey! You son of a bitch! Who gave you permission to dress like that and come near here!"

"Do you even know whose territory this is?!"

The captain of the guards at the gate, with a vicious look, fired a shot directly into the air.

"I am Levin! I've come here to..."

Chen Qi flipped his hand and pulled out a bright red dagger from under his clothes.

“Levin! Bloodblade…a cadre…”

The guard muttered something, then immediately ordered his men to put some distance between them and bow in respect.

The Bloodblade Pirate Gang's officers are all third-tier experts! They're not people like us guards who only earn tens of thousands of shell coins a month!
"Is this dagger really that good?"

Chen Qi tried hard to control his expression.

He seemed to understand why this item was one of the must-have items in the Blood Blade Pirates storyline.

Levin? I wonder which of our Bloodblade Pirates' esteemed officers is under his command—Little Red Riding Hood, Fenrir, or the old general…? The guard captain forced a smile across his stern face.

"Sir, what brings you to our little winery? Would you like a bottle of fresh flower wine?"

Chen Qi thought for a moment and smiled:

"I'm here to complete a mission."
