Morin Street, at the radiation boundary of the commercial area.
This is an industry under the Mellor family and is where most of the hunters under the Mellon Consortium live. Most of the houses allocated to hunters by the consortium are concentrated here. The main reason is that it is close to the outside of the Wall, and in case of an emergency assembly, it is relatively quick, making it less likely for the detected prey to escape.
At this moment, in a European-style small building on Morin Street.
Baylin, in her scarlet battle armor, sat in the living room on the third floor with a gloomy expression. Besides her, Greg, another young man, and a dark-skinned girl were also sitting here. They were Baylin's team members, often going on missions together, and had a deep bond. So as soon as they got the news, they rushed over immediately.
"Boss, is it really a young scavenger who took the easy gain?" The other young man said in disbelief, "A mere scavenger actually had the courage to set fire and burn the 'Fear Infector' to death. This, this is too audacious. Even I was scared half to death when I saw such a monster at first. It took me a long time of training to barely get used to it."
"So, you're mediocre." Baylin looked up at him indifferently and said, "This little thing is the top student who graduated from this year's scavenger school, ranking first in three aspects. Although it's just those petty tricks of scavengers, anyone who can reach the top in any field is no small fry."
Greg nodded deeply, fully agreeing, and said, "I heard that this little guy even threatened you and said he would retaliate against you?"
"Hmph, retaliate against the team leader?" The dark-skinned girl frowned and sneered, "Ignorance makes one fearless. Does he think that just because he's become a hunter, he can be on an equal footing with others? He's just a young guy who's lucky, audacious, and ruthless. The fact that he can say such things shows that he's just like that. In my opinion, although we can't kill him openly, there are plenty of ways to make his life a living hell. Or we can hire an assassin to secretly take him out directly!"
Baylin slowly shook her head and said coldly, "There are plenty of ways to kill him. Even if I kill him openly, it's no big deal. He's valuable to the consortium when he's alive, but when he's dead, he's worthless. The consortium won't do much to me because of this. At most, they'll punish me or make me go on a few more missions. It's just that it's not worth it. He's not even worthy of making me pay a price!"
Greg nodded and said, "That's right. Even if we secretly assassinate him now, the consortium will find out. Although there's no evidence, such an act of going against the consortium will definitely make the higher-ups unhappy, and then they will inevitably gradually suppress us."
"Exactly!" Baylin nodded.
The dark-skinned girl understood. After thinking for a while, she said, "In that case, we won't kill him for now, but we can still give him a hard time. Isn't he going to be allocated to live in the commercial area? We can make him suffer with the matter of the house. Cut off his water supply frequently and see how he lives. Besides, everyone in the consortium gives you, the team leader, some face. As long as you say the word, I guarantee that he'll have a hard time from the moment he steps into the Hunter Headquarters."
Baylin said indifferently, "These petty tricks are meaningless. Using such small means will instead make the higher-ups look down on me, Baylin, and it will also alert the enemy. Let this little guy have a good time for now. When we're outside the Wall, I'll make his life a living hell. Hmph!"
Gree nodded and said, "There are no legal restrictions outside the wall. If you die, you will die. As long as you don't leave any evidence, that's all. However, after this little guy arrives at the Hunter headquarters, he still needs to receive vocational training, which can range from a few months to a year or two. The time we have to wait is a bit long."
Baylin sneered coldly and said, "It's not that easy to have a peaceful time during professional training. If I'm not wrong, the profession he will choose should be 'Hunter'. This profession, combined with the super sense of smell of his 'Fear Infector' Marks of the Demon, is a perfect match. Once he chooses this, I'll make his death a miserable one!"
"Oh?" Greg and the other two looked at her curiously.
"In case of an emergency, a trainee hunter like him will also be dispatched outside the Wall!" Baylin's eyes were cold and she said to Greg, "You're also a hunter. Hunters in the consortium are already scarce. If you're injured and other hunters have their own missions, and then there's an emergency that requires a hunter, what do you think the consortium will do?"
The three of them were taken aback and their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Haha, the boss is really smart." The other young man laughed.
The dark-skinned girl exclaimed, "No wonder you're the team leader. In this way, he'll be dispatched outside the Wall before he even learns the basic skills of a hunter. Even if the consortium intends to assign him to a team other than ours, as long as we say something, that team will find him obstructive and definitely won't treat him well."
"That's right." Greg nodded.
The scarlet killing intent in Baylin's eyes gradually subsided, and she said, "Let's not talk about this for now. The main reason I called you here is about this mission. We're going to the Third District. You guys prepare well."
"The Third District?" Greg and the other two were startled and at the same time a bit excited.
"I've long heard that most of the demons in the Third District are of hunting level around ten, and there may even be terrifying demons of hunting level twenty. Of course, it's better that we don't encounter such things. With the boss leading the way, if we hunt down some demons of hunting level ten, we can make a fortune." The dark-skinned girl said happily.
The other young man's eyes sparkled and he said, "I heard that there are 'Giant Deer' in the Third District. The oil in their bodies is the top-grade lamp oil, even more expensive than gold!"
Greg frowned slightly and said, "Wealth and danger go hand in hand. Many teams have perished in the Third District. We'd better be careful."
Baylin nodded and said, "That's right. However, our goal this time is to look for named demons. Among the named demons in the Third District, there should be a high chance of encountering rare demons at the level of the 'Fear Infector'. If we can hunt down one, it can make your Marks of the Demon evolve again!"
Hearing this, Greg and the other two couldn't help but have their eyes light up slightly.

...
Dudian closed the book.
The later part of the second chapter described the details of other privileges of hunters and the details of the professions. He just took a brief look. At this time, the carriage had already driven out of the boundary wall and entered the residential area.
After a while, the carriage stopped in Linkang Street.
Dudian got off the carriage carrying his bag. Since it was a consortium carriage, with his status, he no longer needed to pay the fare. He looked at the familiar white-painted fence and felt a bit nostalgic. He stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Jura opened the door. When she saw Dudian at the door, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face. She said, "You're back. Come in quickly, quickly."
Dudian felt a warmth in his heart and nodded, entering the house.
It was already dusk. Greg had also come home from the factory after work and was reading the newspaper that he hadn't had time to finish in the morning. Hearing Jura's words, he immediately put down the newspaper and rushed over, with a hint of joy on his face.
