Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

"In other words, the more resources you collect in this round, the greater your advantage will be in the next round."

"Alright, now~~~"

Having said that, he didn't give the candidates any time to react and directly pressed the pocket watch in his hand.

Click.

"Timer starts!"

Wow~! !

The moment Norbu finished speaking, the test takers instantly dispersed.

The candidates who were originally gathered here all dispersed in all directions.

Hopefully, this round will weed out as many candidates as possible.

Seeing this, Norb shook his head slightly.

Then he leaped down and jumped off the crane hook.

pat.

Light as a feather, as if there were no weight at all, its body landed on the ground with great agility.

Then, he looked at the last and only candidate remaining in the room.

"Hello, examiner Norb~~~"

Mog greeted him with a smile, "May I ask how many evacuation points there are in total?"

"I can't tell you about this..."

Nob looked at Mog for a moment, "But there's more than one way to leave."

"Moreover, it's called leaving, not retreating."

"Is that so? I'm used to saying retreat."

As Mog said this, he added in his mind, "Yeah, back when we played Delta Force."

The model and rules of this first round of testing, as revealed by Nob, are exactly the same as those of Operation Delta Force.

Both involve collecting supplies and then retreating to a designated evacuation point.

Then the supplies came in all sorts of colors, including white, green, blue, purple, and red.

Different colors naturally represent different prices.

Maps resembling those of a dam are likely similar to those of Dam Zero.

Mog was already very familiar with this pattern.

Now we know from Nob that, just as he thought, there are multiple evacuation points.

It's not without its regrets.

"I was originally planning to block the retreat point and take all of those guys' supplies one by one."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Nob couldn't help but look at him again.

Indeed, the rules he just announced did not mention anything about not being able to steal from each other.

This also means.

If they are unable to find enough supplies.

Then you can start working on it and try to steal it from the other test takers around you!

This test examines more than just the candidates' observation and data collection abilities.

There's also the need to scout and counter-scout when facing other candidates, to prevent being ambushed.

The ability to evade various man-made crises and successfully evacuate!

Only those who can survive the chaos of battle by gathering supplies and successfully evacuate are qualified to become true hunters!

Chapter 120 Mog the Oriole!! They are all on the third floor, Mog is on the fifth floor! Hunting and being hunted!

Without a doubt, in this first round of testing...

The real difficulty was not in gathering supplies.

Instead, they will face competition from other test takers.

One is competing with them for the resources they encounter together.

If two or more groups of people encounter that abundant supply.

It's hard to say who will get their hands on it.

Even if you suggest distributing it evenly, no one will listen.

All the candidates who are able to come here to participate in the Hunter Exam are proud and arrogant individuals.

They would never accept sharing the result with others.

Moreover, as Nob also said, the more resources they acquire, the more advantageous it will be for the next round of testing.

If this premise exists.

Even if it's just to gain an advantage in the next round, it's about minimizing the chance of others taking the initiative.

When it comes to supplies, everyone has to fight for them.

Moreover, in this environment, no one knows exactly how many supplies are stored here.

If the other party takes it and you can't find it again, you'll be in a passive position.

In that case, we might still have to find someone and go through another struggle.

Therefore, it's better to give up and not know if you'll ever qualify again.

Instead of giving up now, let's go all out this time, seize any opportunity to acquire resources, and just start working on it.

This is an area where conflicts and battles are more likely to occur.

The other one is just as Mog thought.

There are indeed people who claim that instead of looking for resources, they first find a place to leave.

They lay in ambush and launch a surprise attack on that inevitable route.

They robbed people on the road, stealing the resources others had acquired!

Even many guys who are confident in their abilities share the same thoughts as 960 Mog.

They were also planning to rob as many other test takers as possible.

This will give them an advantage in the upcoming second round of testing.

Many ambitious people follow this idea and immediately look for a place to leave.

And it just so happens that there is more than one point of departure.

These ambitious individuals also tacitly agreed to split up and go to other places to hold their positions.

And so, a fierce battle for resources began to unfold in this area.

Time passed by so leisurely.

Almost suddenly, a fight would break out in various places in this area, including factories and dams.

Then, before the conflict spreads further, it will quickly disappear.

It can be described as a small-scale, abrupt battle that occurred and ended in a very short time.

After all, neither side in the conflict wants to benefit others for nothing.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

There are many test takers here, eager to take advantage of the situation.

And so, the entire arena ended in such a bizarre way, with the battle taking place and concluding in a strange manner.

Twenty-four hours passed in the blink of an eye.

On one of the necessary routes to leave the location.

"These gains should be more than enough, right?"

A man who was thin and tall, but exuded a menacing aura.

He was calculating the supplies in front of him.

"Tank models, ventilators, premium coffee beans, a golden compass..."

The string of numbers indicating the price of the ginseng on the base of those supplies made the thin man particularly satisfied.

"Although I don't know why a bag of coffee beans has such a high value."

"But with so many supplies put together, it's already worth several million jin of nuns."

“It’s even possible that there are tens of millions of nuns.”

"With this, I'm not only guaranteed to pass, but I'll definitely be among the top performers in the next round of testing!!!"

A fiery glint flashed in the thin man's eyes.

He obtained these from the candidates who passed by.

Moreover, he had very high standards and boundaries in selecting the candidates for the hunt.

He naturally wouldn't lay a hand on some of the more formidable candidates who looked like they were not to be trifled with.

On the contrary, those who obtained these supplies were lucky.

With the departure point fast approaching, a look of relaxation and joy appeared in his eyes.

At that time and under those circumstances, such candidates were prey for the skinny man!

"Alright, that's about all we've collected."

"If this drags on any longer, there might be more unexpected events."

"This is nearing its end, and those who are left are mostly candidates who have barely managed to obtain supplies worth a million."
