Chapter 103 Mo Fan's Predicament, Private Hunting Ground
"So my strength is enough to handle high-difficulty commissions and bounties, isn't there any other way to take on bounties?" Mo Fan asked anxiously. If he didn't do missions to earn some money, he estimated that he would starve to death on the streets tomorrow.
The money Mo Fan borrowed to consult with the Hunter Alliance assistant today was borrowed from Ye Xinxia. When he borrowed the money, Mo Fan told Ye Xinxia that Jiang Han should never find out about this. Sigh, it's all because of that guy Jiang Han. If Jiang Han had left him a little money, he wouldn't have to be like this. He has to be so careful even when borrowing money from his own sister. Mo Fan is having such a hard time.
"It's not that we don't want you to accept bounties, it's just that our Hunter's Alliance is responsible to our employers and can't use unqualified hunter mages." The hunter's assistant shrugged helplessly.
This infuriated Mo Fan, who slammed his hands on the consultation table and shouted, "You're a professional hunter's assistant! Can't you think of a solution? If you can't, give me my money back!!"
"Well then, if you really want to take on bounty missions, you could consider joining a private hunting agency. These agencies are founded by master hunters who attract clients directly with their good reputations. They usually charge high fees, and their completion rate and efficiency are quite reliable," the hunter's assistant whispered in Mo Fan's ear.
"Okay, let's go to the private hunting lodge then," Mo Fan said excitedly.
"Do you know which private hunting lodge to go to? Do you want me to introduce you to one?" A familiar voice rang out from behind Mo Fan. The speaker was Jiang Han.
When Mo Fan turned around and saw that it was Jiang Han, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Could it be that my loan to Xin Xia has been exposed? That shouldn't be the case. Besides, Xin Xia isn't the kind of person who likes to talk badly behind people's backs. I'm her brother, I can't possibly side with outsiders, can I?"
Just as Mo Fan was figuring out how to deal with Jiang Han, Jiang Han walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Are you stunned by my handsomeness again? Hahaha."
"Damn, that scared the hell out of me! Don't you know that scaring someone can kill them?" Mo Fan cursed angrily.
So Jiang Han still doesn't know I borrowed money? No way, I have to pay back the money I borrowed from Xin Xia as soon as possible. If that bastard Jiang Han finds out, I'll be in serious trouble, even if I don't get beaten up. (This refers to a small amount of money.)
"I'm asking you, do you want me to introduce you to a private hunting lodge?" Jiang Han wasn't angry at all at Mo Fan's angry outburst.
"Yes, yes, yes, of course I want it!" Mo Fan immediately changed his expression and said with a smile.
"Come with me if you want, I have something to do anyway." Jiang Han said as he walked straight to the elevator in the lobby, and Mo Fan followed him into the elevator and left the Hunter Alliance.
After leaving the Hunter Alliance, Jiang Han said casually, "The private hunting agency I'm taking you to is a well-established name in Shanghai with an excellent reputation. If you can join, you can easily earn tens of thousands of yuan a month."
Mo Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this. You see, he only earned a few thousand yuan a month in the city's demon-hunting team in Bocheng. Mo Fan was very tempted by this kind of job that could earn tens of thousands of yuan a month. He was determined to join the private hunting agency that Jiang Han mentioned.
After exiting the subway station, instead of walking along the lush avenue, head to those old streets that look quite like they belong to the Republic of China era. At the end of the old street, a signboard creaks in the wind.
The signboard reads four large characters: Qingtian Hunting Grounds!
"Qingtian Hunting Grounds, could it be that the owner's surname is Bao, hence the name Qingtian Hunting Grounds?" Mo Fan muttered to himself, staring at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds signboard.
Jiang Han didn't hear what Mo Fan was muttering. Instead, he walked straight to the old shop that looked like a teahouse. At the entrance of the old shop, a little girl with long pigtails sat, swinging her fair and pretty legs and quietly looking at a picture book in her hands.
Seeing the young girl sitting at the entrance of the old shop, Jiang Han had a guess in his mind. He figured this girl must be Lingling, Mo Fan's partner in the original story. Perhaps sensing someone approaching, Lingling said without turning her head, "Are you looking for a commission? Our starting price is 300,000. The price will increase depending on the difficulty of the commission. For commissions under 300,000, go somewhere else; we don't bother with those."
Lingling's voice was ethereal and beautiful, like the crisp sound of silver bells in summer. Coupled with her pretty little face, she was a little beauty in the making.
Mo Fan was stunned by Lingling's words. She immediately asked for 300,000. As expected of a private hunting agency, the price was indeed high.
Jiang Han said calmly, "We're here for an interview. Didn't you say your hunting agency is hiring?"
"Oh, you're applying to be demon hunters at our Azure Sky Hunting Grounds?" Lingling put down the picture book she was holding, raised her delicate, alabaster-like face, and her large, intelligent eyes blinked as she sized up Jiang Han and Mo Fan. Finally, a look of doubt crossed her face as she asked, "You're both so young, are you really up to the task?"
Jiang Han's forehead creased with annoyance, thinking to himself that Lingling was indeed a precocious little devil.
Mo Fan's jaw nearly dropped to the ground in shock. Pointing at his own nose, he said, "We're young? No, you little girl, you don't even seem to be twelve years old."
Lingling ignored Mo Fan and continued looking at the picture book in her hands. At this moment, an old man's voice came from inside the room.
"Lingling, did someone commission this?"
Lingling called out loudly into the house, "Grandpa, there were two applicants, but they're too young. We don't want them." Then she continued looking down at her picture book.
But before Mo Fan could say anything, the old man's aged voice came from inside the old shop again, saying, "It's good to be young, you're not afraid of anything. It's just a bit of a pity if you die like this."
Mo Fan was amused and annoyed by the grandfather and grandson from this private hunting camp. What kind of people were they? He and Jiang Han were outstanding students at Mingzhu Academy, known as the "Mingzhu Duo," and they weren't going to die so easily.
Mo Fan was about to retort when Jiang Han stopped him. Jiang Han shook his head and said coldly, "I brought you here for the job interview. Stop talking nonsense. If you offend them and they don't hire you, what will you do then?"
Mo Fan sighed helplessly. Yes, he came to apply for the job, and he didn't want to be eliminated so soon after the interview.
Just then, a woman with a flustered expression appeared at the street corner not far away. The woman seemed to be looking for something. After seeing the sign of Qingtian Hunting Grounds, she immediately stumbled towards the Qingtian Hunting Grounds. Lingling, who was looking at picture books, noticed the woman and said to the old man in the house, "Grandpa, a fat sheep has arrived."
"What do you mean?" asked the old man smoking a pipe in the shop.
"She looked flustered and disoriented; judging from her clothes, she was probably a wealthy young woman."
"Tsk tsk, this is good."
Upon overhearing Lingling and Old Man Bao's conversation, Mo Fan felt a chill run down his spine and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Han, are you sure this is a private hunting lodge, and not some shady place where they rob and kill people?"
"Ahem, you'll understand after spending some time with them," Jiang Han said casually, patting Mo Fan on the shoulder.
After the beautiful young woman arrived at Qingtian Hunting Grounds, Lingling tossed the picture book she was holding onto a chair and enthusiastically led her inside. The shop was decorated like a blend of a teahouse and a coffee shop, with the tables and chairs arranged quite neatly.
After Lingling and the glamorous young woman entered the store, Jiang Han followed them in with Mo Fan and found a seat at random.
P.S.: I'm working on the second chapter, but I probably won't be able to post it tonight, hehe (*^▽^*).
