Hidan hadn't wanted to become the Cult Leader out of ambition. He just wanted to try something new and thought it sounded fun.
If he actually took the job, he would probably get sick of it in less than two days.
But Hidan's suggestion happened to suit Shinji perfectly. He wouldn't take that lousy job even if someone offered it to him.
Even if Hidan became the new Jashin Cult's leader, he would still be Shinji's Hidan. He could consider it playing along to amuse his own dog.
Of course, most importantly, after Hidan said those words, another system notification sounded.
[Quest: I want to be the Cult Leader] [Details: Reestablish the Jashin Cult and help Hidan become its Cult Leader] [Participants: 0/10 (minimum ten people)] [Quest rewards: Bond Points ×10-100, Cursed Soul Points ×1,000-20,000] (The reward cap depends on the lowest combat strength rating among the participating members.) [Organization Contract Scrolls ×10 provided free. Additional purchases: 100 Cursed Soul Points per scroll.] [PS: Trust me, don't take a single Chunin, or you'll regret it.]
Finally, another quest to milk rewards, and a windfall quest with a cap of 100 Bond Points at that!
Shinji was delighted. Thank goodness he hadn't discouraged Hidan just now and had even helped him come up with ideas.
Otherwise, how could this quest have triggered?
But the difficulty facing him now was that these "qualified" participants wouldn't be easy to find.
Of course, he could just grab a random bunch of people to make up the numbers, but the final result might be the bare minimum: 10 Bond Points and 1,000 Cursed Soul Points.
Honestly, rewards that small no longer held much appeal for him.
So he was determined to get the full rewards for this quest.
And the quest hint
