Chapter 102 The Beginning
Chapter 305 Begin①
"Hello, we all want a 20% off coupon."
On the second floor of the destination large shopping mall, inside the fishing tackle shop, Jing Yang, Xiao Di, Kurapika, Machi, Batra, Alice, Leorio, Xiao Fen, and Xiao Zi found the place and went directly to the only clerk. Or so the shopkeeper said.
The shop owner who was dozing behind the counter looked up and saw the row of people entering the store. He thought to himself that the candidates who came today were really rushed - haha, you are taking the hunter test with your family? He even brought two little girls with him who were looking around.
The shopkeeper nodded and said nothing. He took a stack of 20% off coupons from his work pocket and placed nine of them on the counter one by one.
"Then what?" Xiao Zi took the coupon, turned around and looked at the identical coupon in her sister Xiaofen's hand, and looked blankly at the store owner who seemed to have no follow-up response.
Leorio wondered: "Do you really want to buy a fishing tackle here?"
Batra smiled and said, "That's great. I often can't catch any fish all day long. Maybe I can change my luck with a new set of fishing gear." Alice smiled and patted his arm.
Xiaodi picked up one, which was an ordinary coupon with a code printed on it.
Madge flipped to the back, and it turned out that there was a floor plan of the fishing tackle store printed on it. A red arrow pointed to a doorway at the back of the store. This must be a hint for the next step.
"The door...could it be..."
Jing Yang had a premonition, and he and a few others followed the directions on the coupon map and quickly found the door pointed by the arrow.
"It is indeed an elevator."
Jing Yang held the coupon and was speechless. Is this what the Hunter Association likes?
"There is no button to open the door." Xiaodi said.
Xiaofen looked around and found a horizontal rectangular device next to the door frame. She had an idea and pointed the coupon at it, but there was no reaction.
Kurapika helped her turn the coupon to the front with the special code. Sure enough, she heard the beep of the machine in the door frame, and the elevator door slowly opened.
"Oh!" Xiao Zi said happily, "Thank you."
In case this thing has the function of scanning and clicking to register, Jing Yang scanned the coupons in his hand. Xiaodi and others also followed one after another, scanning one by one and entering one after another. Soon they stood in the elevator. It was filled with nine people.
The elevator closed slowly, and just as Jing Yang expected, it descended all the way to the underground space.
Noticing that Batra and Alice looked strange and were whispering, Jing Yang said bluntly: "If you want to quit, you can do it at any time. As for you, there is really no need to forcefully participate in such a... It’s an exam, but it can turn into something like a battle royale at any time.”
Obviously, the previous sudden incident in Fountain Square, which was suspected of indiscriminate killings of former Hunter Test losers, allowed the Batras to see with their own eyes the bloody and cruel side of the Hunter Test.
After hearing this, Batra exchanged a few words with Alice in a low voice. Finally, Alice said to Jing Yang: "Batra told me that he would experience everything in the future, but he has come so far. If he doesn't participate personally, he will not be able to do anything in the future." As I get older, I lose the courage, and I really don’t want to do it.”
She and Batra looked at each other and smiled: "Don't worry, we are ready to retreat at any time."
"Just be sensible." Jing Yang said.
Kurapika said to Xiao Zi Xiaofen: "You are the same, you know?"
The feeling of overweight increased, and the elevator began to slow down, reaching the end.
Jing Yang flicked it casually, and two flying star bubbles quietly floated out, quietly imprinting on the backs of Batra and Alice's necks. The two of them were as nervous and expectant as Leorio, Xiaopin and Xiaozi. Looking at the elevator door slowly opening in front of him, he didn't notice it.
Everyone walked out of the elevator one after another. Xiaodi looked at Jing Yang strangely. Jing Yang smiled and said, "Just treat it as after-sales service." After all, he is also his own great philanthropist. Yang casually helped.
This is a space that is about 500 meters wide and 1 kilometer long, like an underground garage. It is brightly lit. Opposite the 1 kilometer away from the elevator exit is a sealed heavy rolling door, and on the left and right sides are a row of 5 spectators. Indistinguishable room doors. On the side of the elevator exit where Jing Yang and the others walked out, there were toilets and emergency exits on the left and right.
This is the official venue for this hunter test.
When Jing Yang and the others arrived, there were already some scattered candidates in the square that looked like an empty garage. Xiaodi counted all kinds of candidates. There were about thirty or so, scattered throughout the venue. Some of them were like warriors, sitting alone in an inconspicuous corner with their eyes closed and meditating. Looking around...
Everyone is keeping a vague distance. Even if it is an ordinary test, everyone is a competitor. It is very common to be tricked. What's more, this is a hunter test. Let alone being scared, it is possible to be tricked. , the kind that can lead to death if you are not careful - every year, the Hunter Association openly publishes the list of candidates who unfortunately died during the exam.
"It's that princess sister." Xiao Zi's eyes lit up.
Not far away from the wall, Camilla, with blond wavy hair, sat on the floor with an expressionless expression, not sure whether she was in a daze or deep in thought.
"Is he a prince?" Batra said. As a former world's top rich man, of course he would not fail to recognize the second prince of Cajun.
To Camilla's left and right were two private soldiers of the second prince standing at attention. Another private soldier was opposite her, guarding the second prince's surroundings from another angle.
Jing Yang glanced at it and noticed the doll sister "slumped" in the corner like a life-size doll... Could he really enter the power saving mode at any time?
"There aren't many people!" Leoli looked around for a while and said in a loud voice.
"You said it wrong..." As if specifically to respond to him, a deep voice came from behind. A guy with a flat head, a fat head, big ears, rosacea, a short beard and a short figure walked out of the bathroom. He said to Leorio with a simple face, "It's not that there are too few people, it's that you came too early."
Is this what the three-inch Dinggu tree bark is talking about? Jing Yang thought to himself and looked at the other person's chest. There was a round number plate pinned to his clothes that said 13.
"Here, your number plate." Another short winter melon appeared out of nowhere, carrying a basket full of number plates on his shoulder and walked up to Kurapika. He had no ears on his smooth, egg-like round head. No nose, a proper alien.
He dealt the number 41 to Kurapika, and dealt the cards to Jing Yang, Xiao Di, Machi, Xiao Zi, Xiao Fen, Battra, Alice and Leorio in order.
"Nitro's secretary, Bean-men?"
Jing Yang pinned the number plate on No. 42 and took a look at the back of the little bald man. He looked so strange that he really couldn't identify the specific person - many people in the previous life were face-blind to white and black people.
"My name is Dongba." The previous Sancun Dinggu bark took out a few bottles of drinks, handed them to Leorio, Kurapika and others, and said with a smile, "The exam will officially start at noon tomorrow. Morning, I’m going to spend the night here today, let’s have something to drink.”
"Great! I'm thirsty!"
Leorio took it happily, opened the ring and took a gulp.
Hehe... Dongba looked at this scene and almost burst out laughing, but his face remained calm. He distributed the drinks to Jing Yang and others. When they were handed to Ma Qi, he raised his head and met the woman's eyes. Suddenly, he seemed like In the severe winter, a bucket of ice water was poured on Duotou and he shivered suddenly.
