Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 59 Complete the bounty and become a Hunter Master

Qin Xiaonan did not recognize the other person's identity at first, but after seeing the beautiful figure not far away, he understood.

Who else but Ai Tutu could be such a busty cute girl on the streets of Shanghai? And the only one who could attract this little gossip queen to follow her was naturally her bestie Mu Nujiao.

"Oh my god! Miss, you sing so beautifully!" Ai Tutu blinked her big eyes and approached her familiarly. "Which music school did you graduate from? Are you an internet celebrity?"

"Let's add each other's contact information?" She had already taken out her phone and waved it enthusiastically. "Let's go shopping and sing together someday if we have the chance!"

This is Ai Tutu's personality, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Mu Nujiao to share a house with Mo Fan.

When the little mermaid heard Ai Tutu's enthusiastic invitation, she instinctively wanted to refuse: "I'm sorry."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Xiaonan stepped forward and, smiling, read out a string of numbers: "153xxx, this is our contact information."

He appeared calm on the surface, but several thoughts were already running through his mind.

He didn't expect to meet Mu Nujiao here. This was a good opportunity - he was thinking about how to exchange those mermaid materials for space-related treasures. The Mu family, to which Mu Nujiao belonged, was one of the top magic families in the Magic City. They not only had abundant resource channels, but also had a network of connections that ordinary people could hardly reach.

If I exchange it directly with them, it would probably be the fastest way. It would be much easier than buying it at the auction house myself.

"Who are you?" Ai Tutu looked at Qin Xiaonan suspiciously, his round eyes full of vigilance.

Seeing this, the little mermaid explained, "He is my brother."

"Oh~ okay." Ai Tutu's expression changed instantly, and he returned to his energetic look.

She quickly wrote down the number. "My name is Ai Tutu, and this is my good friend Mu Nujiao." She winked playfully. "What's your name?"

"Lan Xi." The little mermaid paused before softly answering, "I just came back from overseas and am not very familiar with this place yet."

Mu Nujiao, who had been watching silently, suddenly spoke up. "Miss Lan's singing voice is very special." She looked directly at her with her deep eyes. "It seems to contain some kind of magic."

Ai Tutu didn't care about that. She suddenly burst into laughter and then affectionately took the little mermaid's arm and said, "Lan Xi, let's go sing together next time!"

The little mermaid nodded stiffly; she was not used to such intimate physical contact.

Her instinct was to refuse, but she didn't expect Qin Xiaonan to agree. She didn't understand what Qin Xiaonan was trying to do. It looked like they didn't know each other. Was this how humans communicated? She still needed to observe and learn.

After a few greetings, the two sides parted ways at the street corner.

Qin Xiaonan took the little mermaid and continued walking towards the Hunter Alliance.

"Lan Xi," Qin Xiaonan suddenly said, "Is that your name?"

The mermaid—perhaps I should call her Lan Xi now—nodded slightly, a ripple in her ocean-blue eyes: "That's my new name."

She paused. "The old name is a thing of the past."

Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the snake tattoo on her wrist, where her real name was once engraved, an ancient syllable that only the deep sea people could recite.

But since the day of her transformation, that name disappeared along with her fish tail.

"Lan Xi is good," he said lightly, "very suitable for you now." The name is indeed appropriate - "Lan" is like the sea color in her eyes, and "Xi" is like the tide in her singing.

Lan Xi was slightly stunned, and then a sincere smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

This was the first time since her transformation that she felt a sense of belonging to her new identity. Perhaps being reborn on land as "Lan Xi" wasn't such a bad thing after all.

The two walked into the Hunter Alliance.

Amidst the noisy voices, various mission assignments scrolled and flashed on the crystal screen.

With his current hunter level, he wasn't entitled to accept high-level missions from the bounty pool—but now that he had completed it, the situation was another matter.

"I want to hire the highest-level hunter girl here." Qin Xiaonan walked straight to a service window and then quoted his price.

Hunter Girls are the most professional consultants of the Hunter Alliance and usually only serve Hunter Masters.

They have the most comprehensive task intelligence, can quickly filter information, and have high professional qualities. For example, they can be understood as senior secretaries beside the boss.

Ordinary hunters have to pay high fees if they want to hire one.

Soon, a capable woman approached with brisk steps. The platinum badge on her chest revealed her identity as a top consultant: Lin Yue, the ace girl who had served a six-star hunter master.

"Mr. Xiao, huh?" She quickly glanced through the information, her eyes lingering on the two keywords "Summoning Department" and "New Registration". "You've spent a lot of money, so I guess you need me to recommend a suitable one."

"I want to ask," Qin Xiaonan interrupted directly, "If I complete the bounty pool task, how do I submit it?"

Lin Yue's professional smile froze for a moment: "Sorry, your level cannot accept bounty pool tasks. This is for your safety and for..."

"I've finished." Qin Xiaonan added calmly.

The experienced Lin Yue immediately understood: "You mean, you independently completed a bounty mission without accepting it?" Seeing the other party nod, she looked a little surprised, but quickly regained her professional attitude, "Please follow me to the VIP room to discuss in detail."

This is exactly why Qin Xiaonan chose to hire a top consultant at a high price - to save the trouble of repeatedly explaining things to low-level clerks.

Lin Yue led them through the corridor with great vigor, her high heels tapping out a neat rhythm on the marble floor.

Half an hour later, when Qin Xiaonan came out, his hunter level had reached Hunter Master.

They made some evaluations on Qin Xiaonan's independent completion of the bounty pool mission in the sea vortex and confirmed that it was true.

In fact, although Qin Xiaonan's situation is not common, it is not an unprecedented case in the huge Hunter Alliance.

Just like some powerful mages who decided to join the Hunter Alliance after reaching high levels or even super levels, we can't let these people do some small tasks to eliminate rat infestations and accumulate points bit by bit. That would be a waste of their talents.

At this time, most of them will have some powerful hunter masters to recommend them, and they can make exceptions to accept some more suitable commissions.

Qin Xiaonan did not have such resources, so he directly completed more advanced commissions to prove himself.

As for whether the Hunter Alliance's commission was falsified, the probability of this being the case is too small. As an internationally renowned magic organization with strong strength, who would take the initiative to go against it?

Hunters who falsely report commissioned tasks will be severely punished.
