The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter
Chapter 72 Overcoming Greed
Seeing Pengsi's assurance, Bailang silently calculated the time. It had been over two hours, and it was apparent that the remaining people had all boarded the island.
"Alright, let's begin. The sooner we gather the points, the sooner we can finish. I don't plan on wasting any time these days. It's a good opportunity to train," Bailang instructed.
Without saying anything else, Bailang couldn't wait to start practicing his recently acquired "Beidou Hundred Crack Fist."
"Okay, I'll follow your lead!" Pengsi accepted eagerly.
She lightly touched her hat, and immediately a bee flew out from it. With a series of gestures, the bee quickly identified a direction.
"Follow me!" With Pengsi's call, Bailang and she followed the bee and departed.
"Ah!!!"
A piercing scream echoed in a grassy area in the woods.
The spear being swung fell from the person's hand, and many dead bees could be seen scattered on the nearby grass.
Almost immediately after the spear, the owner of the 13 spears also fell weakly to the ground. His face, neck, and arms were covered in hard shells.
The screams gradually faded until there was no sound.
Seeing that the other person had fallen into a coma, Pengsi cautiously approached and took the number plate the person was wearing.
"This guy is quite strong. If you didn't know 'Nen' now, you would probably have been killed by him," Pengsi said to Longyu, who was responsible for the formation, as she took the number plate.
"You're right. I really need to develop my Nen abilities and strengthen my close combat skills as soon as possible!" Pengsi also felt a lingering fear.
The man who had his number plate taken away was none other than Pengsi's target, Hook Four, number 371.
In the original work, this person was defeated by Ilumi and chose to challenge Hisoka with severe injuries in order to die gloriously.
Although he was ultimately abandoned by Hisoka and was taken care of by Ilumi, Hook Four's strength in the fourth round of the test was considered to be among the top in the ordinary people's ranks.
In the recent fight between Pengsi and the opponent, she initially commanded the bee swarm to attack as usual, but Hook Four swept them away with his spear and managed to break through to Pengsi's proximity.
If it weren't for Pengsi using "En" to block the opponent's attacks multiple times and thus restrain his movements, allowing the bees to get close and attack, the outcome would have been different.
After experiencing this battle, Pengsi clearly realized her own shortcomings.
"It's good that you understand. Now let's go find my target!" Seeing that Pengsi had understood her own shortcomings, Bailang didn't say much anymore.
Pengsi's target had been dealt with, and now it was naturally Bailang's turn to go after his target, number 80, Shibai.
Just like Hook Four, the opponent hadn't noticed the pollen left on his body, just as Bailang had found Shibai near the island.
"Why aren't you resisting or running away? What's going on?"
Watching Shiba, who had just come out of a tree hole in a towering tree and leaped down agilely, Bailang, who was walking over, stopped in his tracks and looked at the other person with some surprise.
Pengsi, who had stopped not far away, also looked astonished.
When she was looking for them, she originally thought that even if the other party didn't resist after discovering their arrival, they would immediately escape.
But now the situation was that after Shiba saw Pengsi's arrival, not only did he seem to have expected it, but he also took the initiative to appear from the hiding tree hole.
And she didn't take out the pistol on her waist or the sniper rifle on her back.
"It's nothing, just surrendering!" Shiba looked helpless, reached into his collar and took out a number plate, and handed it directly to Bailang.
Taking the number plate, Bailang glanced at it. Yes, it was indeed the opponent's number 80 number plate, so the opponent really surrendered?
"I'm quite curious. You don't seem like the kind of person who would give up easily," Bailang looked at the other person with interest.
Although he had noticed during the trap tower that the other party was attracted to him, at most it was just a fondness, and it was impossible for him to give up the Hunter test because of it.
"It's simple. I am a mercenary. I happened to be attracted by your five hundred million reward before participating in the Hunter test, so I specifically investigated what happened to You Kexin," Shiba shrugged and continued, "A terrifying existence that can defeat a local gang and even kill thousands of people in the gang. I don't think I can handle it.
Everyone has a greedy heart.
The question is whether you can overcome greed.
Among the candidates attracted by Bailang's five hundred million reward, many of them are controlled by greed, and most of them died in the first test at Bailang's hands.
Although Shiba was also attracted by the bounty, she obviously overcame greed.
Even now, realizing that Bailang was far beyond her ability to deal with, she decisively chose to surrender.
Of course, surrendering was surrendering, and Shiba was actually quite annoyed.
During the trap tower, although she was initially flustered by Bailang's beauty, she guessed the reason why Bailang looked at her afterwards. It was highly likely because her number plate was his target.
It was just a guess, but when it actually happened, she still felt very unlucky.
If she wasn't Bailang's target, she would at least have confidence in passing the fourth test and obtaining the Hunter license.
Well... how should I put it, having confidence is always a good thing.
Feeling frustrated, Shiba felt that she needed some compensation, so her gaze involuntarily fell on Bailang's handsome face.
A smile suddenly appeared on her beautiful face, and her tone became ambiguous: "Besides, I quite like you too, so I can accept losing to you."
Bailang raised an eyebrow. If that's the case, then he wouldn't be polite.
