hunt and eat

Chapter 224 The selection of the New World Survey Team, the prelude to [Hunt of Natural Disasters]
Perhaps it was because he was too full yesterday, but Guta only ate one and a half baskets of buns today, so he couldn't eat any more.

Not ashamed to ask the proprietress to refund half the money, Guta took a lotus leaf bag from the bar, packed it a little, and walked towards the guild.

That guy Hawke probably hasn't eaten it so early, so let's take this bun as a souvenir.

The guild was right next to the hotel. After walking about thirty meters from the ancient tower, I saw Hawk sitting outside the guild door, looking sluggish.

Seeing his pale face and the shivering thin coat, Guta asked with some puzzlement while handing over the bun: "What's your situation?"

"Aqiu~" Seeing that it was Guta, Hawke sneezed before he could say anything.

Taking a few steps back in disgust, Guta moved the tip of his nose slightly, smelling a rather unpleasant smell of wine.

"Did you drink a lot last night?"

"Hey, yeah, a few friends took me out for a few drinks..." Hawke ate a few mouthfuls of hot buns and felt his body warm up a lot.

"When I came back, I was drunk, and then Valentina shut the door directly." Hawk shook his legs, trying to dispel the chill from his body.

At night in the desert, the temperature is still quite low. Fortunately, Hawke is a hunter who is still able to survive, otherwise he might be frozen to death.

"If you are not allowed to enter, you can climb the window... Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Guta soon realized that it was never the door lock that really prevented Hawk from entering the house, but Valentina's fist.

Just kidding, the ancient dragon group sequence 15, a legendary hunter who can fight fierce demons, I am afraid that adding one hunter in the whole town is not enough for her to fight, and Hawk can only enter the house.

"It's not easy for you." Patting Hawke on the shoulder, Guta said sincerely.

After sitting with Hawke outside the house for a while, soon, the door of the guild was opened from the inside.

A blue-haired woman in a sleeveless low-cut dress leaned against the door frame and looked at the bench outside the house, holding a plate of freshly warmed desserts in her hand.

"Yo, have you eaten? Then let me forget about it..." Valentina said with a half-smile.

"Hey, how can it be? How can these buns be enough?" Hawke hurriedly took the dessert from the other party's hand with a playful smile on his face.

"However, eating dessert in the morning is a bit..."

"Ok?"

Seeing Valentina's displeased expression, Hawk quickly shut up and changed the subject by the way.

"Then what, Guta is here, why don't you tell him the rules determined by the next star team? I'll have breakfast first." Standing behind Valentina, Hawke winked wildly at Guta.

The old bastard...

Guta looked helpless, and could only look at Valentina in cooperation, "Then I will trouble you senior."

"It's okay, I just want to take this opportunity to tell you something about the future." Valentina was still very kind to the younger generation, she greeted Guta into the room, and began to explain.

"I heard from Hawke that you were recommended by the chief examiner to join the ancient dragon group when you were tested for the first time, right?"

Guta nodded.

"Normally, when you reach three stars, you will need to add some information...Because you and Mieji are the reserves of the ancient dragon regiment, these information have been filed in advance."

"However, Nia and Weiwei in your team still need to go to the guild for filing when the individual or the team is three-star. Please pay attention to this and don't forget it."

"It's a little bit far away... so, let me tell you about the star of the team first."

"Basically, whether it's a regular team or a large hunting group, the guild is generally divided into five levels from 1 to 5 stars. The specific evaluation criteria are very simple. As long as everyone in your team has reached [-] star, then The overall strength of this team, even if it is one star, will be deduced accordingly."

Hearing this, Guta suddenly thought of Layton's team, and immediately felt a little confused.

In Layton's team, there were quite a few hunters whose strength was far below the four-star level. Even at that time, there were quite a few hunters who thought they could win.Then why is his hunting group four stars?
"Although I don't know what you're thinking, let me explain roughly." Noticing Guta's confused expression, Valentina continued to speak.

"The strength of members in a team will definitely vary. Even in a large hunting group, the strength of the head hunter may far exceed the average level of the hunting group. These are all normal things."

"Therefore, when we evaluate the specific strength of a team, we don't require each member to reach the strength corresponding to the application star, but quantify the overall strength."

"For example... your recommender is Layton. It just so happens that I am familiar with his group. Take his hunting group as an example. You should be able to see that half of the hunters in his team are far from strong. Less than four stars?"

Guta nodded quickly, this was exactly what he was puzzled about just now.

"But that's not how it works. You may not be clear about some things... Layton used to be a G hunter. Even though he was old, he still maintained the strength of nearly 4-star peak. In addition, there are three other G hunters in his regiment." Hunters, and a G-rank peak hunter who has initially possessed the strength of a full-fledged member of the ancient dragon group."

"After quantifying the strength of everyone, if we believe that the strength is distributed equally to everyone and exceeds the star rating applied for, then congratulations, the assessment will be officially passed." Valentina made a conclusion at the end.

"Is that so? I probably understand." Guta thought about it for a while, and he probably sorted out the train of thought.

Indeed, only when the overall strength is taken into consideration can the complete strength of the team be truly reflected.

"I have also seen your previous application."

When it came to business, Guta immediately sat upright.

"Don't be so nervous..." Valentina reassured, and then softened her slightly serious tone, "Although Wei Wei and Nia are still lacking, if you and Miejue are counted, let alone A one-star team, even a three-star team is probably not a problem."

"Then..." Guta swallowed, waiting for Valentina's next sentence.

"But it can't be done. Your current merit points are not enough. Upgrading to one star is already the limit."

Every time hunters complete a mission, in addition to the bounty, they will also get a merit point recorded in the guild, which can be used as an additional requirement for team level improvement or special missions.

In a sense, it is the corresponding authority within the guild.

"Well, it's okay, then do you need to take an assessment?" Guta scratched his chin, and looked at Valentina, who was smiling and smiling.

"For you guys, this level of assessment is meaningless, isn't it?" Valentina waved her hand after finishing speaking, "Besides, left and right are just promoted to a one-star team, so the procedure is simplified."

It seems that this senior is also a person who likes to do whatever he wants.

Guta thought in his heart.

"Let's leave this matter as it is. After Hawke reports the situation to the headquarters in two days, you will be a genuine one-star team."

After saying this, Valentina suddenly changed her casual sitting posture and looked at Guta with a somewhat solemn expression.

"I came to you today mainly for another matter."

Guta was slightly taken aback.

Before he could say anything, Valentina had already spoken again.

"The chief of the ancient dragon group, [Fudoqing] Saga, ask me to convey an invitation to you and Mieji."

"The No. 12 preparatory selection of the ancient dragon group, [Catastrophe Hunting], will be held in the [Forest of the Dead] in the dense forest in half a year."

"The winner will become the head of the first phase of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team three years later, skip the assessment period, and be promoted to a full member of the Ancient Dragon Group."

Accompanied by a violent contraction of the pupils, Guta swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.
