Monster Paradise - Chapter 184

Chapter 184

Not many people knew what exactly the heretics were about . All they knew was that the Heretic Organization was one of the most powerful organizations in the underworld . However, the Hunter Association knew very well that although the heretics belonged to the underworld, they were on a whole other level . It was unlikely that they would create trouble and unlike other organizations where human lives were nothing . However, their members were untameable where they did whatever they wanted without thinking of the consequences .

After seeing the apology of the Heretic Organization's presiding judge, the executive officers of Division7 were upset . He managed to apologize within three minutes after the Hunter Association released the video, it was obvious that he came prepared . The apology was proper; he did not only apologize but he even wanted to pay for the damages and release the victims . However, could it be possible that he would dare use the people he captured? Who would know if the victims were not brainwashed?

It was a play well-done by the heretics as they knew the Hunter Association did not want that batch of people anymore but they decided to release them anyway . Even if they were not brainwashed, the Hunter Association would not be the only one who would not accept the 12,800 victims, but the other organizations as well . The only solution the victims had now was to join the heretics or they would remain an ordinary person for the rest of their lives .

However, it was nice that the heretics were willing to apologize so openly . There was nothing else the Division7 Hunter Association could do . Soon, they announced a cease-fire since there would be no good that could come was no good that would come out of the war . They would rather ask for more compensation .

The incident had captured the attention of many other organizations .

"The heretics are so smart . They let the Hunter Association go through the trouble of putting the participants through all the preliminary evaluation before they scooped the talents away . Wouldn’t the apology and compensation that come later be like buying people off with money? They even conveniently promote themselves on the video which was aired in 12 divisions . Tsk tsk, these people…"

"That’s right . I wonder which genius came up with this idea! Why don't we suggest this to our boss? We can do the same in June next year?" A person laughed .

"Don’t even think about it . We, the Purple Crow, would be dead to the Hunter Association if we did that . Division7 wouldn't be the only one to declare war on us, the other 12 divisions might do the same and band up with the Hunter Association . You should know that we're considered as a terrorist group within the Hunter Association . The heretics would only be labeled as mentally ill among the other organizations if we did that .

The Purple Crow were not the only ones . Other underworld organizations were tempted to do the same as well but they gave up copying the heretics when they thought about the uniqueness of what they did . The Hunter Association went easy on the first attempt . If there was a second time, the consequences would be dire . If the Hunter Association did not show what they would do to people who would dare repeat such an invasion, people would think that the Hunter Association was a pushover and there would be more attempts in the future . Taking these factors into consideration, the other underworld organizations decided not to follow them .

Since the incident happened, the Hunter Association was already up and running again . Xu Tianyu brought up the matter of including Lin Huang in the intensive training list again . When Xu Tianyu projected new documents of Lin Huang before the executives during the meeting, many thought it was strange . Old Li did not say a word but later proceeded to mention, "Old Xu, I know he’s your favorite . However, no matter how much we like this kid, there’s nothing that we can do anymore . "

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Tianyu was confused .

Theoretically, Mr . Fu should have spoken to Old Li, why would Old Li intervene now?

"The kid has been taken in by Mr . Fu . " Old Li shook his head, "It seems like we've lost a talent… Sigh…"

"Mr . Fu took him in?!" Everyone was shocked .

"Old Li, maybe you misunderstood . What did Mr . Fu tell you?" Xu Tianyu thought that Mr . Fu was making the matter of including Lin Huang in intensive training too complicated, giving Old Li the impression that Mr . Fu wanted Lin Huang .

"He sent me a message that says ‘I want this kid!’, before sending Lin Huang’s documents over . It seems like he has taken him as his apprentice . The message was served to us to inform us of this so that we won't enlist him in intensive training . " Old Li explained .

"Mr . Fu has many apprentices, included Old Li too . I think it’s still possible that we insist to enlist Lin Huang in intensive training . " Xu Tianyu said .

"That’s true . Moreover, we have been taking his advice throughout the years, he had thought us a lot . We respect him deeply and treated him as our master . However, he had only one real apprentice, the one he found 300 years ago . Since the death of that apprentice, he had never taken in any real apprentices anymore . Those who came later would address him as sir instead of master . That’s why we call him Mr . Fu, which is what everybody addresses him now . If it was something regular, with Mr . Fu’s character, he would not have sent me that message . " Everyone went silent after hearing what Old Li said .

"We can’t enlist Lin Huang into intensive training anymore, however, he'll still remain as a member of the Hunter Association . His performance was good in the assessment, let’s make him a Gold Hunter . It should be sufficient for him . " Old Li suggested .

Xu Tianyu had to accept the cold hard truth, he thought to himself that he should not have sent Lin Huang’s documents to Mr . Fu .

…

Meanwhile, Lin Huang turned off the apology video of the heretics . The lives of the victims that were captured by the heretics had completely changed . Even if they were released, they would be accepted by the Hunter Association anymore . No other organizations would accept them besides the heretics . Lin Huang shook his head and looked at the Hunter Association’s page . On the main page, there was a war declaration was posted on top, one in the middle and one on the right .

Lin Huang saw the posts but he did not click on them while he was looking at the eligibility of his account . It had a copper logo, he had been given the authority of a Regular Hunter . He found Hunter Arena on the download page and proceeded to download the game . Two to three minutes later, the game was downloaded and a plug-in page popped up . The plug-in download was fast, soon Lin Huang was on the login page with the background of an ancient hall .

Lin Huang scanned his ID and the log-in was done within seconds .

"Please register a nickname for yourself . This nickname will be used in battles . " A lady in a pink dress said as she smiled .

"Sword Overlord!" Lin Huang thought of a nickname for himself .

"I’m sorry, this nickname has been taken . "

Lin Huang raised his eyebrow, he did not expect this to happen in this world .

"Heaven's Sword!"

"I’m sorry, this nickname has been taken . "

"This too?" Lin Huang frowned, he then thought of another nickname, "Sword Genius!"

The nickname ‘Sword Genius’ is available, are you should you want this as your nickname . "

"Yes . " Lin Huang nodded .

"Hi, player Sword Genius, the game will be controlled by your consciousness . We'll scan your body and create a body for you in the game following the data we extract from your body . All the bleeding, pain and death in the game would simulate 100% of what’s happening in real life…"

"If you're ready, please press 'Enter Game' . After the 10-second countdown, your consciousness will be pulled into the game .

Lin Huang nodded and entered the game . The lady in pink disappeared was replaced with golden three-dimensional numbers . It spun as it counted down from 10 . A final beam of red light was shot out of the number to scan Lin Huang’s body . After the countdown ended, Lin Huang was led into darkness and appeared in a building that he had never been in before . He looked at his body, it was the same as before . He then looked at the cards in his body, they were all there .

"Xiao Hei are you there?" Lin Huang contacted Xiao Hei with his mind .

"Yes . "

"Are you in the game too?"

"This is an incomplete virtual reality, it’s normal that I'm able to enter . "

After chatting with Xiao Hei, Lin Huang began to look around . The enormous building was crowded with people . There were many commercial boards with a variety of elixir and weapons . However, the most obvious one was the huge three-dimensional screen in the middle . It was an introduction of the Hunter Arena .

Selected battle scenes were being played in the video, Lin Huang became exuberant after watching the video . Finally, there was a guide at the end of the video . All of the information was connected to the Emperor’s Heart Ring . As long as the ring was active, the guide would appear . Lin Huang opened his Emperor’s Heart Ring, the function was different than usual .

A lady’s voice was heard together with a golden arrow on the interface .

"There’s an image of crossed swords on the left . That’s the challenge button . When you press the challenge button, the system will randomly choose an opponent for you following your level and ranking in the game . The image of an eye on the left was the watch button . It allows you to watch all the live battles available within your authority level . The third button which was an image of a person would be your personal details . You can look at your personal details which include your ranking in the game…"

"The points system in the arena is set as below:"

"Win: 1 point . "

"Killing opponents with one hit will get you double point, which is 2 points . "

"Tie: 0 points . "

"Achieving ties for 10 battles will get you 1 point"

"Lose: -1 point"

"Getting killed by your opponent in one hit will deduct double points, which is -2 points . "

"Additional Rules: Win for 10 consecutive battles, 20 battles, 30 battles will double accumulated points .

Lose for five to 10 battles, point deduction will be doubled . Lose for more than 10 battles, point deduction will be multiplied by three .

If there’s a tie between a consecutive win or lose, the streak would be suspended . "

After spending a couple of minutes listening to the introduction, Lin Huang knew how the game was basically run . He then tapped on the ranking board and looked at one of the silver-level players . Looking at the points of those who ranked in the top 10, Lin Huang frowned as the points were above 10,000 .

"Without the double points from winning streaks, I would have to win 10,000 battles to get into the top 10 . To accomplish this within two months isn’t easy…"
