113: Chapter 113 What did you say? You finished? Ten tasks in three hours?

Ground Assault Legion: F-Rank Armored Rhinos x1 million, F-Rank Claw Wolf x1 million, F-Rank Sandworms x1 million!

Maritime Combat Legion: F-Rank Stinger Jellyfish x1 million, F-Rank Crag-Cracking Crabs x1 million, F-Rank Octopus Beasts x1 million!

Long-Range Firepower Legion: Lava Cannon Beasts x1 million (Rock Attack), Iron Arrow Porcupines x1 million (Physical Attack), F-Rank Wind Spirits (Wind Attack) x1 million!

Special Tactics Legion: F-Rank Illusion Fox (Mind Control) x900,000, F-Rank Parasitic Bees (Parasitic Control) x1 million, F-Rank Lantern Fish (Illusion) x1 million!

Another 35.7 million gold coins spent!

The six major beast legions were formed, costing a total of 44.7 million gold coins!

18,213,000 gold coins remained!

Afterwards.

Lu Chen used all 18 million to contract F-Rank Explosive Stealth Spiders, increasing their number by 6 million!

Because Explosive Stealth Spiders enter a respawn cooldown after dying from self-detonation, having a larger quantity is necessary to unleash their full power.

Thus.

Lu Chen's total gold coin expenditure was [75.81 million], with [213,000] gold coins remaining!

"I am still 24.19 million gold coins away from spending 100 million. After advancing to Rank 6, I will still need to find a way to earn gold coins!"

Now that the six major beast legions of the beast disaster had taken initial shape, the next step was simply to increase their numbers and see what they would eventually evolve into.

With the beast pets taken care of!

Lu Chen headed to the Hunter Hall.

"Hello, I would like to register as a hunter!"

Lu Chen arrived at the registration window.

The young lady at the window offered a professional smile: "Hello, sir. Regardless of your Rank, initial registration makes you a One-Star Hunter. You can only accept One-Star tasks. If you want to accept higher-star tasks, you must raise your hunter Rank, which can be done by completing star-level tasks."

"To promote to a Two-Star Hunter, you need to complete 10 One-Star tasks. To promote to a Three-Star Hunter, you need to complete 10 Two-Star tasks, and so on!"

"Additionally, when registering as a hunter, we will not record any of your personal information. You only need to provide a codename and then submit a drop of your own blood to activate the Hunter Badge."

"This way, you don't have to worry about other hunters using your Hunter Badge to learn your identity information."

Lu Chen thought about it briefly and provided a codename: "9527!"

"9527? Sir, are you sure you want to use these four digits as your codename?"

The young lady was taken aback.

It wasn't that no one had used numbers as a codename before, but at most one or two. Using four digits was bizarre, and the codename "9527" sounded quite catchy.

"Just use this one!"

"Very well. Please pay 10 gold coins to purchase the Hunter Badge, and then you can activate it by adding a drop of your blood. From now on, this will be your only identification for accepting and submitting tasks!"

10 gold coins?

That's 1,000 bucks!

Many losers don't even earn that much in a month.

It's so damn expensive!

Lu Chen had no choice but to painfully take out 10 gold coins from his tens of millions.

Immediately.

Lu Chen received a Hunter Badge engraved with a crossed sword and shield.

He dripped a drop of blood on it.

The Hunter Badge activated.

A star appeared on it, representing a One-Star Hunter.

"Alright, honorable One-Star Hunter Your Excellency 9527, you may go to the task window on the side to accept tasks yourself."

"Oh, that's right. Our Hunter Organization has a Newcomer Promotion Challenge. You need to perform tasks alone, and as long as you can break the top 100 records, you can receive rewards."

"Oh? There's a Promotion Challenge?"

Lu Chen wasn't very interested at first, but when he heard the rewards included a large amount of gold coins, he was tempted.

He had to participate in the challenge!

And he had to break the first-place record!

There were many task windows, so Lu Chen found one that didn't have many people.

"Hello, I'm here to accept One-Star tasks."

The process was a bit troublesome, but Lu Chen had no choice but to do this for now. Besides, the hunter identity could greatly assist him in traveling to Wuyao City in the future.

Once a hunter's Rank reaches a certain level, they can use the teleportation arrays of major cities.

"The One-Star Hunter tasks for Linjiang City are all displayed on the screen. Just provide the serial number for the task you want to accept. Once accepted, you cannot voluntarily abandon it within a month, and you cannot accept other tasks until it is completed."

Said the young lady named Bai Hui.

"May I ask, is it possible to accept ten tasks at once?"

Lu Chen wanted to quickly raise his hunter Rank to Six-Star. Only then could he accept Six-Star tasks and take his parents along to farm advancement Materials.

"..."

Bai Hui frowned: "You just registered as a hunter, and you want to accept 10 tasks at once? You should know that these One-Star tasks are not simple; many involve Invading Monsters above Rank 3."

"It doesn't matter. I just want to challenge myself! Just tell me if I can accept them or not?"

"You can accept them, but to prevent task wastage, accepting multiple tasks requires a deposit. For every additional task, the deposit increases by 1,000 gold coins. If the tasks are not completed within a month, the deposit will be deducted!"

"Fine!"

Lu Chen took out 9,000 gold coins directly.

Damn!

So extravagant?

Bai Hui was stunned.

Being able to take out 9,000 gold coins at once, this guy was definitely not a commoner. Commoners couldn't take out so many gold coins, nor would they risk so much money.

Could he be a Young Master from a powerful family from elsewhere?

That must be it!

It was very likely he was a Young Master from another major city.

There were some Young Masters who, in search of thrills, would specifically go to major cities in other regions to register as hunters for fun, though this was rare.

Thinking of this, Bai Hui puffed out her chest, her service attitude changed drastically, and she put on a charming smile on her rather delicate oval face.

"Mr. 9527, I wonder which ten tasks you would like to accept?"

As she spoke, she fluttered her phoenix eyes, the seduction obvious.

After all, she was just working here, a cog in the machine with a meager income. If she were noticed by some powerful Young Master, she would have a chance to squeeze into the upper class.

Lu Chen ignored Bai Hui's coquettish display. Just kidding, his pond wasn't reserved for her.

"I want this one, this one, and this one. Just these ten!"

Lu Chen casually picked ten One-Star tasks for collecting wild Materials.

These One-Star tasks were mostly exploration, searching for Materials, etc., which were very simple for Lu Chen.

"They are all tasks related to high-Rank Invading Monsters? Would you like to change them? If you encounter danger in any of them, it's unlikely you'll return alive."

Bai Hui was even more convinced that the incredibly handsome guy in front of her was a wealthy Young Master, but his strength was likely not high, so she kindly reminded him.

"No need!"

"This!!! The tasks have been processed. These are the task cards for the ten tasks, containing relevant information. After completing the tasks, you just need to bring back the corresponding task items. If they are exploration tasks, you only need to provide the information discovered, and someone will verify it then."

After receiving the tasks, Lu Chen left calmly.

"Finally met a Young Master I liked, but it turns out he's a hot-headed novice, going solo to a high-Rank Invading Monster area to collect Materials. Nine times out of ten, he won't come back."

This young lady named Bai Hui shook her head and sighed, thinking it a pity.

3 hours later.

Lu Chen returned.

"Uh, back so soon? You must have felt that these ten One-Star tasks were too difficult and came back early, right?"

Seeing the Young Master she liked return, Bai Hui got infatuated again: "However, once tasks are accepted, they cannot be changed. You'll have to wait until a month later to accept new ones. Just consider it paying for a lesson."

"A lesson?"

Lu Chen was speechless.

What was this young lady thinking?

Lu Chen took out the Materials for the ten One-Star tasks and said with a faint smile: "The ten tasks are completed. Please verify them."

"Very well!"

Suddenly!

Bai Hui jumped up, her eyes wide, disbelieving: "What did you say? You finished them? Finished ten tasks in three hours?"
