Chapter 669: Chapter 659: Federal Hunter Exchange Meeting

The weasel’s face showed a color of fear, as it had some contact with human society and had some understanding of the weapons of humans. In its current physical condition, it definitely couldn’t withstand that thing.

"Why do you carry such a thing, wait, we can still talk..."

Heng An said expressionlessly, "No, you’re too disgusting," and then he pulled the trigger.

The powerful grenade launcher directly hit the weasel’s head. The grenade, capable of penetrating 1000mm of concrete wall, blew its head apart—this time, it truly died.

After quickly checking to make sure the weasel was dead, he immediately carried An Yuexi to the car outside and drove away from this place of trouble.

He didn’t have the backing of the Hunter Association like Wen Wen did, and if captured by the Federal Government it would be hard to explain, so he had to leave quickly.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, An Yuexi, her eyes shining, wondered how she had never noticed how handsome this man was...

...

Five days later, Wen Wen sat in a hotel, smugly showing off an invitation to Tao Qingqing with a big smile, "Look, look, I’ve been invited as an outstanding young Ranger from the Capital District to go to ’Hunter Island’ for the triennial Federal Hunter Exchange Meeting."

Tao Qingqing looked disdainfully at the crude invitation. It must be that Association’s leaders had gone blind to consider Wen Wen an outstanding young Ranger, but she didn’t dare to show it directly, instead asking curiously, "What is Hunter Island?"

Wen Wen answered casually, "It’s an island in the center of the ocean, where the Hunter Headquarters is located. I’m not clear on the exact location, but it’s said to be a rather mysterious place."

"Oh... so, are you planning to go?"

"Of course not," Wen Wen immediately refused.

Tao Qingqing paused, "Then why are you so happy?"

Wen Wen said as if it were the most natural thing, "I’m happy because they recognize that I’m an excellent Demon Hunter. It doesn’t conflict with my refusal to attend."

"Besides, what’s there to attend at that kind of exchange? A bunch of foolish people gathering to hypocritically flatter each other... I don’t even understand why the headquarters even bothers with such an event. Isn’t it nicer to just stay in their own territory, bleeding monsters one by one?"

A string of unpleasant words came out of Wen Wen’s mouth, belittling the exchange he hadn’t even attended yet, leaving Tao Qingqing slightly disappointed.

Through Wen Wen’s efforts, she had obtained a legitimate identity in the Hunters Association. If Wen Wen went to Hunter Island, she should be able to go along for the trip, but if Wen Wen didn’t wish to go, she would have to continue working.

In recent years, if she was not hunting for blood as a vampire, she had been imprisoned in jail. After her release, she was constantly working. A trip to a sea island would have been quite enjoyable.

Suddenly, Wen Wen received a phone call. As soon as he answered, he heard Xun Qing’s voice, "Did you get the invitation to the exchange meeting? We gather at headquarters in three days, and leave together."

Wen Wen immediately replied, "I’m not going. You guys can look for the Capital’s second-best Demon Hunter instead. I’ll let him have the opportunity to be in the limelight."

Xun Qing was taken aback for a moment. He didn’t quite understand Wen Wen’s way of thinking. After a two-second silence, he said to Wen Wen, "Have you misunderstood something? There will be ten Upper Order Rangers from the Capital going with you... "

"Oh, then just let the eleventh best take my place," Wen Wen casually refused.

Ever since the first opening ceremony of elementary school, where Wen Wen stood under the sun for two hours listening to the pointless speeches of the principal, directors, and student-teacher representatives, he developed a strong aversion to such collective activities.

This directly led to Wen Wen being frequently called out by his teacher for skipping school during opening ceremonies in elementary school, which resulted in Wen Rui being scolded by the teacher, and afterwards, Wen Wen would get a beating from Wen Rui until his butt bloomed.

However, after elementary school, Wen Wen was never again called out by his teacher. It wasn’t that Wen Wen had stopped skipping classes, but Wen Rui, annoyed at being called in every year, incited Wen Wen to do some things a student shouldn’t do.

At that time, Wen Rui’s public identity was still that of a detective, and Wen Wen, subtly encouraged by their father, used the detective skills taught by Wen Rui to dig up the sordid past of his homeroom teacher and grade director, and later helped them resolve two minor troubles.

Since then, Wen Wen became a ’privileged’ person in his class...

After hearing Wen Wen’s refusal, Xun Qing almost smashed his phone in frustration, "I went through so much effort to secure this spot for you, do you have any idea what it means?"

Wen Wen yawned, "Just tell me what the benefits are directly, I’m short-sighted, interested only in gains, not fame. If it’s just about other Demon Hunters praising each other, I’d rather go eat hotpot."

Xun Qing was silent for a while, "You’ve only joined the Association recently, so it’s natural you wouldn’t know. At Headquarters, there is a Catastrophe Level Containment Item, which contains a magical space that opens once every three years, and only a hundred people can enter..."

"Oh, I’ve heard this kind of setup before, read about it plenty of times in novels," Wen Wen excitedly interjected.

"Let me guess, only Upper Sequence superpower users can enter, those lower or higher can’t, and inside there are powerful monsters and rare treasures, among which the rarest few could help me advance my Realm. Then I have to compete with people from other major districts for the treasures, and eventually the allocation of resources for each major district is decided based on the treasures obtained..."

"Stop it, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xun Qing felt somewhat exhausted; conversations with Wen Wen always gave him a headache.

"Once you enter that space, you don’t have to compete with anyone, nor do you need to snatch anything. What you need to do is face your ’True Self’."

"True Self... is it a superpower user of the True Self Realm?"

Xun Qing shook his head, "Not a Judicator, but confronting your origins, finding your true self. If you’re lucky, you might even have a sliver of a chance to directly advance to True Order. Even if luck isn’t on your side, it will still be helpful for your future attempts to break into the True Order Realm."

Once you’ve stepped into the Upper Order Realm, the difficulty of progressing further is incomparable to before. Like Master Feng Bei, this High Order Demon Hunter who lived nearly two hundred years without taking that next step, this opportunity is very important to all Upper Order Demon Hunters.

The reason Xun Qing staunchly supported Wen Wen getting this chance was partly because he had previously received some favor from Wen Wen over the Sword Qi Crystal issue, and partly because Wen Wen’s performance this year had been truly impressive, making significant contributions to the Association.

"Are you still going to refuse now?"

After stopping Xun Qing’s description, Wen Wen finally felt tempted and relented, "Since you’re inviting me so sincerely, I’ll do you the big favor of going to have some fun."

After hanging up the phone, Xun Qing sighed; Wen Wen was truly a hard person to like.

On the other side, Wen Wen seriously said to Tao Qingqing, "As a conscientious boss, how about I take you on a sea trip in three days?"
