Super Hint System: Everyone is a Cultivator

Chapter 21: A Lucky Chance Is Hard to Find

“There are still bounty hunters in this world?”

Adams turned to Vivian to ask if she had ever heard of the profession of Judge.

Vivian immediately nodded in affirmation, but she looked at Constantine and said doubtfully, “Judges do exist, but it’s said that they’re all powerful cultivators who work alone and are very mysterious. However, given the fact that he was captured alive, he doesn’t seem very powerful!”

Adams looked at Constantine as if skeptical about his identity.

Constantine was frightened by Adams’ gaze. He quickly explained, “I-I am really a judge, but I don’t usually earn commissions by hunting down wanderers. Rather, I’m employed by the Empire’s military all year round as a guide to explore the Zerg Realm! This time, the moment I arrived on the Zerg Realm with the military’s spacecraft, I was attacked by a group of Wanderers. All the military personnel died, leaving me alone. Those wanderers thought that I was a member of the military, so they didn’t kill me in order to obtain the password to open the classified information in the core of the spacecraft from me!”

Vivian couldn’t help but look at Adams when she heard that. It was really as he had predicted. This spacecraft had experienced a change in ownership from the military to the Wanderers.

Adams pondered carefully but still felt that something was amiss, so he asked again, “The military already has information on the Zerg Realm, so why would they need you as a guide? Who exactly are you?”

Constantine looked at Adams in shock. He didn’t expect this young man’s thoughts to be so meticulous despite his young age. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Alright, I’ll share some secrets with you then! In actuality, due to the lack of resources, the upper echelons of the Empire have been through several upheavals over the past thousands of years, and some of the military’s confidential information has been lost. Therefore, in order to retrieve the resources in some of the space realms, they need a guide to lead the way! When I turned 20 years old, my coming-of-age ceremony was in the Zerg Realm. I was very lucky to find some military remnants and sites rich in resources. That’s why I’ve been acting as a military guide all these years in exchange for cultivation resources. Now, I’ve successfully advanced to become a level-two warrior!”

Adams fell silent upon hearing that, but Vivian couldn’t help but blurt out, “So your coming-of-age ceremony was also in the Zerg Realm. Was it also in this vicinity?”

After hearing Vivian’s question, Adams could sense that it was not good, but it was too late to stop her.

Realisation immediately dawned on Constantine when he saw Vivian’s reaction, and he said agitatedly, “So you’re here for the coming-of-age ceremony! Two little kids who haven’t even reached adulthood yet you dare to treat a level-two warrior like this? Hurry up and let me down!”

Seeing Constantine’s reaction, Vivian realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she was not intimidated by Constantine’s reprimand.

If it was in the past, Vivian might have treated a level-two warrior with respect, but right now, she was holding an A-rank scroll in her hand. Even a level-four warrior would be instantly reduced to dust, let alone a level-two warrior. Therefore, she did not take Constantine seriously at all.

Adams had yet to discover any leads related to the lucky chance, so he believed that there must be some secrets on Constantine’s body that he had yet to unveil. It seemed like he had to use some other methods!

“Just as you said, we’re just a bunch of underage kids. Even if we save you, we won’t be a match for those Wanderers. We might as well abandon you and run for our lives. After all, there aren’t any leads on you that interest us!” Adams said with a cold smile as he grabbed Vivian’s arm and pretended to turn around to leave.

Vivian was shocked by Adams’ determination, but she didn’t dare to question him anymore after having said the wrong thing just now. She could only silently follow Adams as he left.

“Wait! I-I actually know a lot of secrets. As long as you let me down, I can tell you guys everything!” Constantine couldn’t help but scream hysterically when he saw that his saviors were about to leave.

Adams and Vivian stopped at the same time and turned to look at Constantine.

“I will give you three more minutes! Once the time is up, we will leave immediately!” Adams said calmly.

Constantine took a deep breath and said, “Every time I come with the military’s spacecraft, I will only reveal a small part of the secret that I discovered back then. In this way, I could ensure that I would be able to earn resources all these years. As long as you let me down, I will tell you all the secrets that I haven’t shared. When you return, you will be able to become the military’s guide. The rewards are quite impressive!”

Adams shook his head and said disdainfully, “You’ve been a guide for so many years, yet you’ve only just advanced to a level-two warrior. You call these rewards impressive? You should keep your secret for yourself and negotiate with the Wanderers!”

Constantine anxiously said, “Every guide can set an allocation percentage with the military beforehand. From there, you will be allocated a certain proportion of resources from the gains obtained from every operation! Back then, I was ignorant and only set a percentage of two percent. However, I later found out that the military’s bottom line is actually thirty percent, in addition to the ownership of the designated resources. You can directly negotiate with the military with these conditions. I guarantee that you will reap extraordinary benefits!”

Seeing that he finally managed to get some valuable information out of Constantine, he couldn’t help but look at Vivian, and they both smiled knowingly.

Vivian now understood Adams’ intentions, and she asked on his behalf, “Although we know the military’s bottom line, we don’t have any concrete information for the military!”

Constantine was desperate to survive. He quickly said, “There is, there is! I know the location of a military base. I found it by accident years ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the key, but there must be a lot of valuable resources inside. That’s why I’ve been keeping this information to myself all these years!”

Vivian was stunned. Isn’t that the military base that Adams discovered earlier? Besides, Constantine only remembers the location, whereas Adams has already opened the door. Garen and the others are even exploring the base right now!

“Don’t… don’t you believe me? I can take you to find it. You’ll definitely be able to find it!” Noticing the strange expression on Vivian’s face, Constantine thought that she didn’t believe him, so he volunteered to prove his innocence.

Adams said with a sigh, “There’s no need for that! We have already opened the military base. As for the supplies inside, they are not that valuable!”

“What?!”

Constantine looked at Adams in disbelief and shook his head incredulously. “Impossible! You can’t possibly unlock that base. Even the military doesn’t have any information about that base, let alone the key. How could you open the door?”

Vivian also looked at Adams in surprise, wondering how he did it.

Adams stroked his chin and said calmly, “Because the key was just under the stone beside the gate. You can find it just by checking. You didn’t check it back then, did you?”

“Pfft!”

Constantine’s face flushed at first, then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Vivian exclaimed in surprise, “What happened to him?”

“He flew into a fit of anger! Looks like I won’t be able to get any more valuable information from him. Let him down!” Adams shook his head and sighed in disappointment.
