Temporary Squad

With the help of the staff, Oboro first registered the task within the Association.

Registration is divided into two types: one is for tasks that involve achievements and points in related fields.

This will attract Hunter x Hunter are matched with other hunters to join.

After completing the task, the Association will provide basic rewards... Most people who choose this kind of task don't care about the small reward; they just want to level up.

The second method is for the project leader to personally pay extra on top of the base salary to hire Hunter x Hunter from within the Association... This is also the most common method.

Based on Oboro's understanding of the Association, the factional divisions among its members are quite obvious...

It is worth noting that the mission release format chosen by Oboro is only for Specialist Division Hunter x Hunter.

They privately like to call star-level Hunter x Hunter 'the old man with a star'...

Specialist Division Hunter x Hunter are those who specifically undertake government or corporate missions first accepted by the Hunter Association. Unlike other types of hunters, such as Gourmet Hunter x Hunter, they are essentially employees of the Association, rather than those who have the relative freedom to work independently in their own private teams.

There are many reasons to become Specialist Division Hunter x Hunter, such as a relatively stable number of jobs and funding, or because of insufficient skills, or because there is no future in working alone, etc.

Before they have the capital to establish themselves, they still need to rely on the Association as a large platform to grow.

Within the Hunter Association, being Specialist Division Hunter x Hunter is the norm... and the choice of most people.

In addition, regarding accepting tasks... the Association has a special review body. Before you can accept a task, you must pass the review team's assessment to determine whether you have the ability and qualifications to complete it. Some tasks are not something you can just accept whenever you want.

Like this time, it was directly entrusted by the chairman. Otherwise, with his qualifications, it would have been impossible for him to take on such a big order as soon as he joined.

"It has already been announced. If a suitable candidate is found, the Association will notify you."

At the desk, a female staff member smiled and gestured to Long.

How long does it usually take?

He asked vaguely.

"That... depends on the mission details."

"Thanks."

Long nodded and turned to leave.

It's probably difficult...

This method is the same as forming a team in a game.

Even if someone is interested, they will likely give up once they see that the person in charge is a complete novice. Secondly, the relevant information about the mission is completely blank, and the danger level is very high. Even if Oboro offers a generous salary, they will still back down.

"There's no other way but to use the Fills Family's manpower..."

Long thought to himself.

In recent months, the Fills Family has been expanding its resources and restoring its vitality after the death of its predecessor Ten Dons Brown.

They're buying people and thugs from Meteor City, and at the same time, they're spending a lot of money to hire powerful Nen user... With the gang's resources, assembling a team on short notice shouldn't be a problem.

However... these people may not be professionals.

One more thing... the skill level will be very poor.

Most importantly, it's about ability... In crucial moments, there's a possibility of dragging things down.

The quality of team members and their number should be prioritized over quantity.

Moreover, entering the East Gorteau Republic requires certain entry procedures, and there are also restrictions on the number of people allowed in.

When official bodies are involved, things get very complicated.

It's not as simple as sneaking in; if we're discovered, it will be a 'major diplomatic incident'.

Just as Long was leaving the Association, intending to return to the Fills Family first, his phone rang.

After answering the phone, it was a staff member from the Association.

Someone applied to join his mission...

"So fast? Not even a review process?"

Long was somewhat surprised.

The fact that the review department can directly "give it a pass" indicates that the applicant must be highly qualified and very capable.

This is a good thing! Having an experienced player join the newbie team will greatly reduce casualties...

The Association's review is based on considerations of mission completion efficiency and Hunter x Hunter safety, hence the recommendation.

As for the final decision-maker, it's up to Oboro, the person in charge.

The Association had already sent the information to her phone. Long was initially somewhat hopeful, but after seeing the applicant's information, she immediately deleted it.

The Rat in the Zodiacs, currently Two-Star Hunter, Pariston.

This guy has his eye on me...

The reason is nothing more than that he has attracted the attention of the chairman, and Pariston's 'meaning' is to go against the chairman and find fun in it.

The best way to deal with this kind of person is to ignore him for now... With Netero around, it won't be easy for Pariston to drag him into any situation, even if he wanted to.

"This guy's probably already keeping people on his side within the Specialist Division..."

Long let out a sneer.

Turn off your phone.

I took a taxi to the airport.

A few days later, they arrived in the Republic of Padokea and returned to their own territory.

As he expected, the Association never contacted him again after the first phone call.

In other words... his mission is very likely to fail.

There are specific time limits for entering East Gorteau... Long also needs to organize a small team in advance to report to the Association and go through a series of procedures.

The palace where the Fills Family resided.

Long explained in detail that he needed manpower, without revealing any details or reasons.

"Do they all have to be Nen user?"

After listening, David fell into deep thought. "We also need experts in reconnaissance, language, wilderness environments, and other areas..."

"That's too detailed... Finding these people is not a problem, we can hire them, but it will take time."

"I came back precisely because there wasn't enough time..."

Long sat on the sofa, rubbing his temples.

Actually, he could go alone, but that would mean he would bear all the danger, and no one would share the burden with him.

Everything he is facing now is unknown.

With each additional person, there is more strength and hope...

David remained silent.

He had some understanding of the patriarch's strength. Seeing how serious Long was, it meant that the members he was asking for had to be highly capable and could not be ordinary small fry... Otherwise, he could summon countless people overnight by simply issuing an order to all the underworld families in the country.

The problem is... none of these are what Oboro needs.

"How long?"

Lily, sitting in her wheelchair, asked softly.

Two days.

"Long said in a deep voice."

"David, first notify all the families and groups on the territory and ask them to provide and recommend relevant personnel, then screen them... Second, call in the security team members recruited during this period," Lily instructed.

"Yes."

The old man nodded and immediately went to do it.

A short while later, the Fills Family's protection team, consisting of nearly twenty Nen user, entered.

The captain was a man Mondel, with a sinister expression and many studs on his skin, such as lip and nose piercings. He looked like a ruthless character who had lived a life of danger, and his temperament and Nen were also quite good...

However, Oboro only glanced at them before waving them away.

"Is it not okay?" Lily, somewhat disappointed.

She did hope to be able to help Long...

"Too weak..."

Long casually remarked.

The task Netero gave him was definitely not going to be easy.

Nen user is not much more effective than an ordinary person...

"The procedures are quite difficult to complete, and there can't be more than eight people... So seven people would be best, four Nen user, three professionals, and ordinary people would also work... This way, the requirements for the quality of the Nen user will be even greater." Oboro muttered softly as he pondered.

"I roughly understand what level of people you need... In such a short time, with such detailed specializations, it's really difficult to assemble a complete team on short notice. We'll have to relax the requirements in some areas... What you're doing is very dangerous. If there are seven people, including you, at least two of them need to have the ability to reliably protect the team members and carry out their work safely... In other words, even if they don't have specialized knowledge, as long as they're strong enough, that's fine."

The woman echoed her sentiment.

"Yes."

Long nodded.

"Why don't you contact him? Aren't you friends?"

Fills Lily suddenly said.

After a moment of hesitation, Long said, "I don't really want him to know anything about me... I can't get along with him."

"But... given the current situation, he seems to be the best option..."

"Tsk."

Oboro frowned. He had considered Hisoka, but going to that guy... didn't feel safe.

"What you're doing requires strong professionalism and ability... I'll have the family recruit talent according to your requirements... to try and form a team as soon as possible. That way, next time, we won't have to rush things."

Lily laughed.

Long picked up her phone, looked at it, and finally dialed the number.

"Hello."

The call was answered almost instantly, and Hisoka's teasing voice came from the other end, "I really didn't expect you to contact me first... Looks like you're in trouble~"

"I told you, friends are very important."

"..."

Long said coldly, "Come see me."

"I refuse!"

Hisoka responded jokingly, "I'm busy too... I can't get away, you'll have to figure it out yourself~"

"You owe me a favor, have you forgotten? It's time for you to repay it..."

Hisoka knew Hisoka was up to something, so he wasn't surprised at all by being rejected.

"When did this happen? I don't remember..."

"..."

Hazy.

"Hehe... It's been years. This is a great opportunity to observe and understand me up close. Are you sure you don't want to come? Okay, I respect your opinion. Bye!" Long chuckled and hung up the phone immediately.

The phone rang again as soon as I hung up.

Long didn't take it, and left it there... After almost a minute, when the sound still hadn't stopped, he finally picked it up leisurely.

Who are you?

Hazy.

"Um... okay... I admit it, I'm very interested..."

Upon hearing this answer, Long raised the corners of her mouth.

Little trick...

After sending his location, he put his phone away.

With himself and Hisoka around, at least the safety of the team members was somewhat guaranteed.

However... we still need two strong support fighters.

A hastily assembled team won't have much emphasis on professionalism...

This part can be filled by three ordinary human experts; as long as the money is in place, everything is negotiable.

Let's give it our all today! See how many chapters I can write!
