After saying goodbye.

Kevin didn't go back immediately, but instead found a hotel to stay at.

Before parting ways with Kite, Kevin showed him the [supplier] contract.

After Kite passes his teacher's test and truly begins his own path, he hopes the other can become his [...].

Suppliers].

This doesn't conflict with the other person's career plan; it's just something I did on the side, and I can earn some extra money in the process.

This is easy to understand.

When Kevin learned that Kite's dream was to become a Biological Survey Hunter, he immediately thought of the possibility of working together.

Working in the wild allows Kite to obtain the [materials] he needs.

After all, the so-called biological environment survey is to study information such as the growth patterns of plants and animals and their environmental needs, which is of great importance to Kevin, so he immediately decided to cooperate more deeply with Kite.

To ensure a stable supply and sale of the potion, Kevin needs not only rare materials provided by special individuals, but also a stable source of materials to achieve sustainable development.

In the future, he will definitely invest in building many Breeding Farm, ranches, and other similar facilities.

Some of the materials clearly have the potential for aquaculture and cultivation.

If certain key ingredients are missing, a particular potion cannot be made.

With that thought in mind, Kevin picked up his phone and made a call. The call was answered after just one ring.

"Hello!" came Light's voice from the other end of the phone.

"You've passed the Hunter Exam?"

"It's approved. We can begin operations."

"Okay, okay, we've already prepared everything."

"By the way, how are they doing?"

"No problem, they're all training. Mr. Yungu is doing a great job teaching them."

"Okay, that's good. I'll go back in a while."

After saying that, Kevin hung up the phone.

Then Kevin remembered something else: his deal with Mito, and the flower petals he had always wanted.

He remembered that the most likely place to find those petals was within the territory of the Kakin Empire, a gathering place they had once stayed in. Since they were already here, they might as well go and confirm whether that place really existed and whether those flowers really grew within the Kakin Empire.

There are many things to do, so we can only deal with them one by one.

After a moment's thought, Kevin dialed the number again. A short while later, the call was answered, and he could hear the surrounding noise coming through the receiver.

"Kevin? What's up?" Men Qi's voice came through the phone.

"I want to tell you that I have eliminated the side effects of the drug and would like to cooperate with you. What do you say?"

"Huh? So fast? No problem. Where are you now? We'll be right there. Remember to prepare a batch of medicine."

"I'm temporarily in the Kakin Empire, but—"

Before Kevin could finish speaking, a surprised voice came from the other end of the line.

"The Kakin Empire? What a coincidence, we're also within the Kakin Empire's territory. Where are you now? We'll come find you right away."

Hearing the chattering on the phone, Kevin felt a little helpless but also quite surprised; he hadn't expected such a coincidence.

"I am here-"

"Let me see. It's not far. Wait for us a little while. We'll probably be there tomorrow morning. See you then, bye-bye!"

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

"They're really in a flurry of activity," Kevin muttered to himself helplessly.

I had just hung up the phone when another call came in.

Kevin looked at the contact name on his phone screen - Locke?

He pressed the answer button, "Hello."

"Your exams should be over by now, right?"

"It's over."

"Can you provide those medicines now?"

Upon hearing this question, Kevin couldn't help but frown; the request was far too urgent.

He said directly, "I'm sorry, the shop selling potions is still in the planning stages. However, you can leave a deposit and a list of your needs first."

"I will start supplying you with goods in about three months, after which the supply will be normal."

"Three months? Hmm, okay, I'll send you the order details. The deposit will be 20%, and I'll transfer it to the account you provide."

After saying that, Locke hung up the phone.

Kevin scratched his head and muttered, "Business is really booming."

"We shouldn't have rushed things like this. We should have waited until we were fully prepared before issuing the announcement." Kevin, lacking experience in this area, thought with some helplessness that such matters should be left to professionals.

He only needs to focus on providing the medicine and maintaining his network of relationships.

Originally, he planned to first establish cooperative relationships with suppliers like Men Qi to ensure a sufficient supply of materials before starting external sales.

Moreover, he didn't have enough medicine for Men Qi on him, and he had originally planned to meet her at the Lester Manor.

Men Qi was too impatient.

The next day.

Just as dawn was breaking and Kevin was still asleep, there was a knock at the door.

"I don't need room service!" Kevin said, sounding annoyed. Hadn't he already said that yesterday?

"It's me! Open the door!"

"Men Qi, keep your voice down, it's still early."

The voices of Men Qi and Buhara came from the doorway.

So early?

Kevin reluctantly got up, put on his pajamas, and glanced at the time; it was only six o'clock.

He walked helplessly to the door, opened it, Men Qi walked straight in, muttering, "Why are you still sleeping? A healthy life means getting up early."

Buhara squeezed in and gave Kevin a helpless smile.

"Sit wherever you like. You said you'd come in the morning, I didn't expect you to be here so early." With that, Kevin went to wash up on his own.

While Kevin was washing up, the two people sitting outside started chatting with him.

"You didn't just get your Hunter License at this time, did you?" Men Qi asked.

Kevin's voice came from the bathroom. "You're really smart, you got it right."

"How many candidates passed the exam this year?" Buhara asked curiously.

Six.

"So many?" Men Qi, somewhat surprised.

"Is that a lot?" Kevin wasn't sure of the average number of people who passed each Hunter Exam, but he figured six people wouldn't be too many or too few.

"Not many," replied Buhara, who knew more about the matter. He explained briefly, "On average, about 7-8 people pass each session, so this number is normal."

Furthermore, I've heard of instances where only a dozen or so people were qualified.

"I see? It seems there were too few qualified candidates in my batch."

"How many of you passed that round?" Kevin asked curiously, peeking out from the washroom.

"3."

That's really very little, or rather, it's far too little.

"You're pretty good." After all, only three people passed, which shows that the competition was fierce that time.

"Hmph, of course! I'm a genius!" Men Qi said without any modesty, displaying a strong sense of narcissism.

After Kevin finished washing up, he came over and sat down next to them, taking out different forms.

The two took the forms and looked at them; they contained a [supplier] contract and a list of [potions] that could be sold and provided at this stage.

"You have a more complete selection of potions than I imagined," Men Qi said in surprise. She had only heard Kevin mention a few of the more unique potions during their casual conversation.

There will be more to come.

After carefully reviewing it, Buhara frowned and said, "You should still be in the preparation stage, right? This contract is somewhat rough, and the content is too simplistic."

Kevin nodded, acknowledging that it was indeed only a preliminary framework.

That's why he specifically contacted Men Qi and others beforehand, wanting to exchange ideas, familiarize themselves with the process, and see if there were any problems.

Address these issues before getting on track to ensure there aren't too many unexpected problems.

Men Qi also looked at the contract and then said, "It is indeed somewhat basic and rough. You may not know much about the Hunter x Hunter community."

I think you'd better consult Professional Hunter. I remember there are Hunter x Hunter specialize in this kind of consultation.

Kevin nodded, humbly accepting their opinions; he did indeed have limited knowledge of the Hunter x Hunter community.

Buhara looked at Kevin and asked curiously, "I remember your master was Biscuit, right? Why don't you ask her for advice?"

After all, Biscuit is a well-known figure in the Hunter Association and a highly experienced senior. Her understanding of Hunter x Hunter is far deeper than theirs, so consulting her would definitely be very beneficial.

His main customers are definitely Hunter x Hunter; they are not numerous, but each one has a very strong purchasing power.

Kevin had indeed considered this before, but he didn't want to bother her with such a small matter.

But now that I think about it, Biscuit might very well have become a customer when I sold the medicine later.

If the contract is too rudimentary and has loopholes, she will definitely laugh at it. Given her tendency to be a know-it-all, she will surely scold me, and she might even question me about why I didn't consult someone knowledgeable before making a decision.

"Okay, you're being very B."

After a brief exchange, Kevin felt he had gained a lot; these kinds of things really do need to be discussed with fellow Hunter x Hunter.

After they finished talking, Men Qi took out the box they had prepared when they arrived and placed it on the table.

The table vibrated, but there was very little stuff inside.

Upon opening the box, it was found to be filled to the brim with all sorts of biological parts, as well as some unusual plants.

"These are some materials we've gathered during our recent research. Based on your criteria for 'essential' materials, we've selected different samples."

Buhara added from the side, "We have made thorough preparations. You have all the materials you need. The source of each material and our considerations at the time are recorded in detail. After that, we will have a general idea of what you need."

This way, in subsequent transactions, they can more accurately obtain the [materials] Kevin needs.

Kevin was surprised by how well the two had prepared. He nodded and began to investigate the matter one by one.

These materials were carefully packaged using a unique packaging method; the box must have been specially made for low-temperature preservation.

Soon, the room was filled with the smell of blood.

After examining them one by one, Kevin had to admit that Men Qi and his fellow Professional Hunter were indeed insightful and skilled.

They provided a total of 28 items, 10 of which met Kevin's standards.

Kevin's standard is C-Rank, because these ten materials made him desire to meet the same standard.

Kevin couldn't hide his joy at finding ten of the desired materials in one go; this was much faster than he could have collected them on his own.

Kevin immediately presented the ten materials, saying, "These ten are what I need."

Upon hearing Kevin's words, the two immediately wrote them down.

"These ten materials are indeed, as you said, the essence of a creature. What can be done with these materials?"

Men Qi asked curiously, explaining that she needed more detailed standards in order to provide more suitable [materials] later.

Moreover, they would generally discard these parts that they used as materials if Kevin needed them, because these parts had high utility value, and some even contained toxins.

They are sex Hunter x Hunter, targeting mostly delicious food and sex coupons.

To some extent, these were parts they took off casually, essentially earning some extra money.

Because of this, these parts are not available on the market, so Kevin would have a hard time knowing which parts are usable unless he directly obtains the whole prey and examines them one by one.

After all, the so-called "essential parts" are not necessarily the most useful parts.

"It's not that these parts are the essence, but rather that the organisms that obtain these materials meet the standards I require," Kevin explained.

Hearing this, the two nodded slightly, roughly understanding what Kevin meant.

"There is one criterion that is definitely correct: the stronger and more difficult a creature is to hunt, the more likely it is to contain the materials I need."

"Like these ten types I mentioned, they're definitely not hard to obtain, right?"

Upon hearing Kevin's question, the two pondered for a moment, and Bian Jin nodded in agreement.

However, among the materials that Kevin deemed qualified, some came from powerful creatures, indicating that the two had failed to obtain the essential components Kevin needed from these powerful creatures.

This is somewhat of a pity and a waste, but it does require a certain amount of experience.

If Kevin touches them, he won't know which materials he needs.

Although he had thought about how to solve this problem, he couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

The only solution he could think of was to use his Nen ability, but to be honest, although he still had some empty Memory Capacity slots, they were limited.

He wanted to leave the empty space for other ideas.

"No matter what, the approach of finding [suppliers] is definitely correct." Kevin smiled, the materials in front of him being the best proof.

After saying that, his expression turned serious, and he addressed the two men, saying, "You two are my preferred suppliers, and we have a foundation of mutual trust between us. Now that you've arrived, my sales outlet is still under preparation, so the contract will be signed temporarily, and we'll sign it once everything is ready."

"But our tacit cooperation can begin first. I will treat these materials as your [currency]. If you use [currency] to purchase potions, you can enjoy internal pricing."

The two nodded; this was of no harm to them, so they had no reason to refuse.

At this moment, Kevin had roughly formed some ideas and processes in his mind.

Now that the most important [supplier] plan is progressing smoothly, everything else is worth trying.

"As you all know, I came here to take the Hunter Exam. I originally planned to meet you in Vasa City on the Yurubian Continent."

"So I didn't bring enough medicine with me. If you mind, we can go back together after I'm done here."

Both of them were prepared for Kevin's words.

After hanging up the phone yesterday, on their way here, they briefly discussed and deduced this possibility, so it wasn't surprising.

Men Qi nodded. "No problem. We've finished our business in the Kakin Empire, and we've obtained the materials and the score we needed. We were planning to leave anyway, so let's go together."

Buhara, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Is there anything else you need here? Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help."

"That's right, that's right, we're practically partners now," Men Qi said with a smile.

A simple agreement has been reached, and both parties are currently in a good mood.

Kevin smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's just a small matter. There's some important [material] that might be within the Kakin Empire, and I was planning to come here to do something about it anyway."

"Now that we're here, let's take care of this while we're at it. I'd like to investigate the growth environment of this material and its specific characteristics."

Indeed, it was just a trivial matter.

Men Qi nodded after listening, then said with curiosity, "Materials that you're so interested in must be extraordinary, right? We also need to help you get materials, so why don't we stop by on the way?"

After saying that, Men Qi turned to his partner.

Buhara nodded, indicating his agreement with Men Qi's idea.

"In that case, let's go together. I was just about to buy tickets."

After finishing these matters, Men Qi suddenly remembered something. "Speaking of which, this is the capital of the Kakin Empire. I heard there's an auction tonight. How about it, do you want to go?"

Anyway, their tickets are for tomorrow noon, so they have nothing better to do.

Kevin nodded indifferently. Going to look around might be a good idea; he might find the materials he needed.
