115: Chapter 115 Breaking the First Record! Bosses, send the money!

As soon as his voice fell, Lu Chen's figure once again faded away like a ghost under everyone's watchful eyes, until he disappeared completely.

"Invisibility! It's this move again!"

"He must be an Assassin!"

"An Assassin? But why can't I detect his tracks?"

A Tier 6 Hunter questioned.

"He probably has a high-tier stealth item on him. For a Genius descendant of a top-tier power, having such an item is normal. In any case, this 9527 is at the very least an Epic-level grand Genius!"

"That may be true, but even a Tier 6 Assassin could never complete ten 5-star missions in three hours, even if he were a legendary Genius!"

"Quick! Three hours! Keep your eyes on the main entrance and the mission settlement window!"

In the entire Hunter Hall, no one went to do missions at this moment.

Everyone seemed to be nailed to the spot, eyes locked firmly on the mission settlement counter and the Guild entrance, their hearts pounding wildly with the passage of the sand in the hourglass.

Time passed minute by minute.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people unable to breathe.

The powerful Hunter who opened the betting pool, Lan Wei, clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, praying crazily in his heart: "Fail! You must fail! You must fail!"

Otherwise, the 300,000 gold coins the other party bet would be enough to bankrupt him!

Bai Hui and the other mission ladies also couldn't help but hold their breath.

Two hours passed... Lu Chen did not appear.

Two and a half hours passed... There was still no movement at the entrance of the hall.

People who bet on failure began to show the ecstasy of impending victory on their Faces: "See! I told you he couldn't complete it!"

"4-star missions! Does he really think it's an outing?"

"Hahaha! My gold coins! My comeback battle!"

The powerful Hunter who opened the betting pool also breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of color returning to his Face, and he even began to calculate how to spend the winnings.

However, just at the very last moment as time approached three hours!

Just when everyone thought victory was in their grasp, and some even started to celebrate in advance—

A figure, without any warning, as if tearing through space, silently reappeared in front of the 5-star mission window.

It was none other than Lu Chen!

His clothes were spotless, and his Aura was as calm as if he had just returned from a stroll.

Thud!

The horn of a Violent Rock Rhino, the long legs of a shimmering toxic Shadow Demon Spider, and even a Giant Ape's heart, among other things!

Lu Chen had completed ten more missions!

Ten mission cards were gently placed on the counter by Lu Chen: "Settle them!"

"..." Dead silence!

A silence more thorough than any time before!

The expressions on everyone's Faces—ecstasy, mockery, anticipation, nervousness—all froze instantly, then shattered bit by bit, turning into endless shock and disbelief!

"No—!!!"

A shrill, desperate, heart-wrenching scream erupted from the mouth of the 2-star middle-aged Hunter.

He had taken out the food money for his family of five for a year for one last gamble, but he didn't expect to lose after all.

This 9527 is not human!

Ten 4-star missions, and he could complete them within three hours.

The few powerful Hunters who opened the betting pool also turned pale; they had to pay out 30 million gold coins, which they couldn't come up with even if they were bankrupted!

It wasn't that the crowd didn't suspect 9527 of cheating by preparing the mission items in advance, but the probability was very low, and it wouldn't be counted as a record by the Hunter Organization.

Because the Hunter Organization's missions all have a time limit; if they exceed a certain amount of time, they become void. Furthermore, before accepting a mission, no one knows the specific content of the mission; it can only be learned through the mission card.

Very quickly, the mission lady, Bai Hui, finished the calculation for Lu Chen and upgraded Lu Chen's Hunter Badge to 5 stars.

And at the very moment of the upgrade, all the halls under the global Hunter Organization simultaneously broadcast an announcement:

[Ding, congratulations to Mr. Hunter codename 9527, for successfully promoting from a 1-star Hunter to a 5-star Hunter with a total mission time of 8 hours, 49 minutes, and 56 seconds, breaking the fastest Hunter promotion record. This is hereby announced!]

This announcement rang ten times in the Hunter Hall.

"What? Someone broke the Wasteland Guardian big shot's record? How is this possible?"

"Who exactly is this big shot 9527?"

"The number one record of over two hundred years has been broken. The Hunter Organization is about to cause a global shock."

Hunters everywhere exclaimed in amazement.

Meanwhile. Whoosh! Rumble!

A figure descended from the sky, smashing a mountain occupied by Invading Monsters, alarming a large number of invading Invading Monsters.

"Such good news as soon as I return. 9527, this little friend must be a talented and loving handsome guy. Making friends with him would surely be top-notch!"

Roar! An Tier 8 Invading Monster BOSS released a powerful Domain, glaring at the mysterious person with a surging Aura: "How dare you smash my base! No matter who you are, I'm going to beat the shit out of you!"

"Do you know that rudely interrupting someone's train of thought is a very impolite thing to do!"

As the words fell, the person who descended from the sky slightly lifted his messy, unkempt hair, revealing a beast-like eye. With a glare! All Invading Monsters within a ten-mile radius instantly exploded into pulp.

... Linjiang City. Hunter Hall.

"Your Excellency Hunter 9527, because you have broken the fastest record for promotion to 5-star in the history of our Hunter Organization, later, a big shot from Hunter Headquarters will come to contact you and bestow upon you the relevant record-breaking rewards and benefits!"

Bai Hui's demeanor was extremely respectful, no longer having a trace of that "fake" offense.

"There's such a good thing?"

Lu Chen was slightly pleasantly surprised and continued to ask: "If I continue to promote stars, are there more rewards?"

"..." Bai Hui and the other Hunter Hall staff were all speechless. It was clear that this big shot 9527 was not joking; he really had the ability to quickly promote to six stars.

"That's not the case. Our Hunter Organization only records the newcomer promotion records from 1-star to 5-star."

"Is that so! Then there's no rush. I want to ask, what are the rewards for breaking the record?"

"We don't know the specifics. We only know that one of them is having priority access to all missions without needing a deposit. Moreover, in any city with a Hunter Hall you visit, you can directly obtain a permanent villa to stay in."

"Can the teleportation arrays of major cities be used?"

"Yes, and the cost of using the teleportation arrays will be covered by our Hunter Hall for you, with no limit on the number of times."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen smiled with satisfaction. Then he must give some Face and wait here properly for the big shot from Hunter Headquarters to come and distribute the welfare rewards.

Immediately after. Lu Chen turned his head slightly and, towards the few powerful people who had opened the betting pool and wanted to withdraw, revealed a "friendly" smile: "Gentlemen, pay up!"

"!!!" The responsible powerful person immediately showed a smile uglier than crying: "Big shot, please show mercy. We simply can't afford to pay that many gold coins. Including other bets and the gold coins we have on us, it only adds up to 5.3 million gold coins."

"5.3 million gold coins? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar? 30 million gold coins. If you are even one coin short, don't even think about walking out of this hall!"

Lu Chen said coldly.

These few powerful Hunters looked like they had used the betting pool to cause many civilian Hunters to go bankrupt; right beside them was a middle-aged Hunter who was regretting it heart-wrenchingly.

In his life, Lu Chen had three major hatreds: gambling, drugs, and hegemony! Towards those who open betting pools, Lu Chen would never be soft-hearted.

Seeing that the other party would not let them go, the leader of the powerful Hunters immediately decided to act like a rascal: "Anyway, I only have this many gold coins. Even if you kill me, it's still this many gold coins. Do whatever you want!"

Being able to break the Hunter Organization's record, 9527 was already the apple of the Hunter Organization's eye. He naturally knew he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only act like a rascal.

Anyway, the Hunter Hall had rules against fighting here, and Linjiang City also had rules. At worst. He would have his brother-in-law come over to help.

His brother-in-law was an Elder of the Nishui Guild, the number one guild in Linjiang City! The so-called "a strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake," the other party had to give some Face no matter what.

Seeing this, Lu Chen grinned and first pocketed the 5.3 million gold coins. As for these few powerful gamblers, he would deal with them after the big shot from Hunter Headquarters arrived.

At this moment, the 2-star middle-aged Hunter who had previously lost his mind from gambling knelt over, hoping that Lu Chen would return his bet. He would be eternally grateful; otherwise, his family of five would have to eat dirt for a year.

Regarding this. Lu Chen only gave him one word: "Scram!"

PS: I thought I would be able to successfully upgrade to LV4 and add more illustrations, but looking at the current readership, I estimate there is no hope of reaching LV4 this year. The illustrations can't be added. Three chapters will continue to be provided~
