To be honest, it was already quite kind of them to only book three business class tickets and not to charter a plane directly back to school.
Look at how extravagant Principal Angers' trips are, always paid for with public funds.
And then there's Principal Angers' private jet, "Sleipnir," which burns more money than fuel every time it flies.
Even though the board members repeatedly reprimanded Angers' behavior at board meetings, did it make a difference?
Angers still does whatever it wants, and the board members still have to sign their names when faced with the financial statements submitted by the school every quarter.
"You guys go pack your things first."
Cao Han watched the two leave and then returned to the balcony.
His gaze appeared to be overlooking the scenery, but in reality, his line of sight contained a system panel that no one else could see—
"Hunting Quest: On Cooldown (00:01:21)"
"Hunting Quest: On Cooldown (00:01:20)"
……
"Hunting Quest: On Cooldown (00:00:01)"
He watched the countdown of the hunting mission on the system panel, second by second, until the last second passed.
The words "Cooling Down" quickly blurred and disappeared, replaced by the new week's hunting missions that Cao Han had been eagerly anticipating.
As for the other side, the "Hunting Quest (Guild)" has less than an hour to refresh, which means that both hunting quests will have a new target before leaving Japan.
"Come on, a Japanese person who's living a good life! Come on, a Japanese person who's living a good life! Come on, a Japanese person who's living a good life..." he kept repeating to himself.
Hunting Quest: Grammer Sigurd
Mission Summary: Everybody dies. Some just need a little help.
Task Difficulty: ★★★★
Bad news: Brother Tong completely ignored Cao Han's expectations.
Good news: The mission difficulty is an unprecedented four-star difficulty, even a star higher than the dead Herzog.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the target of this hunting mission is definitely not a simple person.
And unexpectedly, perhaps because the difficulty level has increased, the descriptions of the tasks have started to become more abstract.
Previously, you could at least get some information from the mission description, but now you get nothing but a name.
The surname "Zidrug"... Cao Han had a sense of familiarity or déjà vu, but he couldn't quite place it.
His memory is indeed photographic, but that's only for useful information, much like a computer hard drive periodically cleans up useless junk to free up space for smoother operation.
"Brother Tong, how many free attribute points do you get for a four-star difficulty mission?"
[120 points.]
"Only 120 points? That's a bit low."
The Hunting Mode is designed to provide more ways for the host to improve their strength; its completion is not mandatory by this system.
"..."
What Brother Tongzi said can be translated as, "Take it or leave it!"
There's a saying, "Even a small mosquito is still meat."
Thinking back to my meager stats when I first transmigrated and was still Deadpool, which didn't even add up to 120 points, I never thought I'd become a bit materialistic now.
Of course, Cao Han didn't want to give up any hunting mission if conditions allowed.
The Cohiba cigar in his hand was burning slowly, and the countdown to the guild's exclusive hunting mission was also decreasing second by second.
"Hunting Quest (Guild): Kazumasa Sagawa"
"Mission Brief: One of the world's top ten cannibalistic criminals, known as the 'Cannibal,' justice may be slow, but the eradication of evil is inevitable!"
"Task Reward: 50 Experience Points"
When Cao Han saw the guild hunting quest details that he had been eagerly anticipating, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself with delight:
"Brother Tong, you still love me after all~"
While the hunting quests were increasing his difficulty, the guild's hunting quests provided a big "surprise".
really!
Even in different parallel worlds, some evil people and evil deeds will still exist.
If such scum can still survive in this world, every breath of oxygen we take is a major form of pollution to Earth!
I originally thought it would take a while for the guild level to be raised to level 2, but now it seems that it will be just around the corner.
Unlike Takeshi Kagawa, who awakened his dragon bloodline and secretly committed numerous crimes, this time the target is someone who is notorious throughout Japan and even publishes a book without showing any remorse.
Finding the whereabouts of such a "big celebrity" is not an easy task.
As for the person to carry out the hunting mission... Cao Han already has one.
If it were someone else before, he might have directly contacted Kazama Ruri privately and taken care of the mission target.
But now, he has a different idea.
Cao Han took out his phone and opened the guild group chat. He was amazed to see that the chat history had already reached "999+" in such a short time.
It seems I underestimated the combined group chat abilities of a young master from a family who is almost always idle, a soon-to-be high school student who is officially starting his summer vacation, and a decadent college student with the power of Key 3.
The topics of conversation were incredibly diverse and varied.
Chen Hao would even occasionally share news he had heard about the mixed-race community in China within his family in the group chat.
Every time something related to mixed-race people comes up, Chu Zihang can't help but join in.
Cao Han edited the hunting mission details on the system panel into a message word for word and sent it directly to the group.
[Boss]: "@Liuli, how about I entrust this hunting mission to you?"
The Legendary Creature Hunters and Human World Order Maintainers Association was indeed initially a joke of his.
However, with the emergence of the system guild model, the number of people joining is increasing.
Cao Han felt it was essential to ensure that all members clearly understood or were aware of what the association was doing...
The Legendary Creature Hunters and Human World Order Maintainers Association is not just a name; it has always been actively involved.
Perhaps it's too early for Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang to get to know each other so soon.
However, Cao Han felt that since both of them had awakened their mixed-blood bloodlines, they would inevitably witness the true nature of this world sooner or later.
The sudden release of the task froze the entire group chat as if it were under a spell.
[Liuli]: "Okay."
Until Kazama Ruri spoke up and accepted the mission.
Even if Cao Han's mission message did not include a description of the target's crimes, Kazama Ruri would have agreed without hesitation.
Chapter 121 Forbidden Technology "Blood Burst"
South of Tokyo, in Kanagawa Prefecture, on the outskirts of Yokohama.
This is a desolate coastline. Before World War II, it was a series of fishing villages. Now, the fishermen have all moved to Yokohama and become citizens, leaving only the docks where they used to moor their fishing boats, which are battered by the sea day after day.
Headlights pierced the night as a black Hummer crossed the shoulder of the highway and sped across the salt flats toward its destination.
Yuan Zhisheng drove himself, while Yuan Zhinu sat in the passenger seat checking the navigation. Cao Han and the other two were squeezed into the back seat.
With Fingel's burly, bear-like physique, he could easily take on two opponents. Fortunately, Lucy Pallas was slim enough, otherwise she might not have been able to squeeze past them.
"Plans really can't keep up with changes!" Cao Han sighed helplessly.
"The principal's private car, the 'Sleipnir,' is not something that ordinary students can ride in."
"You sat here?"
"Junior, you're joking. How could a good-for-nothing like me be qualified?"
His original intention was to quietly return to school and catch the investigation team off guard, but he underestimated how much attention others were paying to him.
The moment Norma booked the earliest flight back to Chicago the following day, the news had almost simultaneously reached the other board members.
If the school board members aren't stupid, they will definitely use their "first-level" authority to allow Norma to prioritize monitoring Cao Han's whereabouts.
Principal Angers naturally received the notification from Norma immediately.
Then, the original ordinary flight was transformed into the principal's exclusive vehicle, "Sleipnir," and the reason given was one that Cao Han could not refuse.
"Some of your 'personal belongings' can't be obtained through normal channels, and the fact that you booked tickets through Norma can't be hidden from some people with ulterior motives."
"Paying so much attention to me, are you perhaps feeling a little guilty?" Cao Han replied with amusement.
"Some people want to put a collar on an eagle before its wings are fully grown, but little do they know that what they are facing from the beginning is not an eagle, but a dragon destined to soar through the sky."
"Times are always moving forward, and those old fogies who can't see the situation will only be swept into the dust of history. Don't you agree, Principal Angers?"
"Hahaha, what an interesting little guy."
Angers fully understood what Cao Han was trying to say. It seemed that some clueless old guys were going to suffer. "You don't need to worry about things at the school. I've already arranged everything. Professor Schneider won't have any problems either."
I'll be waiting for you in Portofino!
"Potofino?" Cao Han was stunned for several seconds before he suddenly realized, "Does this mean they want me to attend a board meeting?"
"Of course, I believe the board members will be pleasantly surprised by your appearance!"
"A surprise is not necessarily the case, as long as it's not a shock." Cao Han grinned mischievously.
He guessed that the sudden invitation was also a spur-of-the-moment decision by Principal Angers, and that the other board members probably had not yet been notified.
Cao Han, who had only agreed to ride in the principal's private car "Sleipnir," never expected that the other party had no intention of entering the country through the proper channels.
The aircraft, coated with a special stealth and radar-resistant coating produced by the equipment department, landed with a roar under the cover of night at an abandoned airport.
When the Hummer arrived at its location, it looked like a lurking black beast from a distance.
Genjiro's Hummer was a military version, with the back space crammed full of all sorts of things, including their personal equipment and spoils of war from the Japanese expedition.
Finger's personal shopping service alone occupies more than 60% of the space.
