[Professional Hunter License (Lv1)]
[Points: 10/30]
Su Wei looked at the numbers that popped up on the computer screen. Compared to the more than three million US dollars, these 10 points were more concrete and real.
This was the first official military achievement he received after embarking on this path.
I need 20 more points to advance to level 2 Hunter.
He calmly considered his options.
However, Aruk, who was beside him, was on the verge of having his nerves burned off by the successive impacts.
"Ten... ten points?!"
An uncontrollable scream escaped his throat, his voice distorted.
He was just basking in the glory of having earned six points.
But now, Su Wei, his brother, has taken ten in a single operation!
That's ten points!
That's enough for him to hunt down almost two adult male black-tailed deer!
What made him feel even more dizzy was Sarah's next move.
After Sarah finished processing the transaction, she returned the card to Su Wei, then looked at Black and sincerely praised him.
"Your apprentice is quite good."
Black emitted a muffled syllable from his nose, indicating approval.
"Um."
In that instant, Aruk stopped breathing.
If "ten points" was a blow to the head, then the words "your apprentice" completely crushed him.
Black... the Old Devil... a level seven professional hunter... a living legend of Kodiak...
The only apprentice?
Is this my brother Su Wei?
This information was so revolutionary that it completely scrambled to Aruk's mind.
He stood there blankly, glancing at Su Wei, then at Black, then at Sarah.
They seemed to be trying to find even the slightest trace of "this is a joke" on their faces.
However, no.
Black still had that same unchanging icy expression.
Sarah had already lowered her head to process the next document, as if she had just registered an ordinary prey.
Su Wei simply and calmly took back his license card.
"Alright, that's all done." Black turned around, said nothing more, and strode towards the door.
Su Wei nodded his thanks to Sarah and turned to follow.
Aruk only snapped back to his senses when the two figures lifted the curtain and disappeared outside the door.
Like a startled brown bear, he let out a strange, unintelligible cry and turned to chase after it.
" Su Wei! My brother! Wait for me!"
The cold wind still blew in the parking lot.
Black didn't get into his Raptor pickup truck directly, but stood beside it and waited for Su Wei to approach.
His grey eyes, under the gloomy sky, resembled two sharp flints.
"Don't go anywhere these next two days," Black said, his words carried away by the wind, but his tone remained as harsh as ever.
"Stay home, sleep, eat, and get your health back."
Su Wei nodded. Having just gone through a life-or-death confrontation, his mind was under immense pressure, and he definitely needed a complete rest.
"Being a hunter isn't about a day or two of reckless effort," Black continued, as if stating a rule. "It's about brains, patience, and a body that can keep you steady on the gun until you're sixty."
He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, which was unusual for him.
I will contact you in a week.
"Let's begin the real training."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Su Wei, opened the car door, and got into the driver's seat.
Just then, Aruk rushed out of the gate, panting, and pounced straight on Su Wei.
"My God! Su Wei! You little brat..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Ford Raptor's engine roared, abruptly interrupting him.
Black rolled down the car window and, from a distance of more than ten meters, took one last look at Su Wei.
Don't be fooled by a bear.
"And the antlers, just contact me when you have time to come and pick them up."
Before the words were even finished, the car window rolled up, the huge pickup truck made a rude U-turn, kicking up a cloud of snow powder, and drove away from the parking lot.
Only Su Wei and the completely dumbfounded Aruk remained.
Aruk stared, mouth agape, at the departing taillights, then at Su Wei, and it took him several seconds to finally react.
He grabbed Su Wei's arm with astonishing strength and shook him violently.
"You! You've become the Old Devil's apprentice?!"
"You even arrested that wanted criminal?!"
"You got ten points in one go?!"
With each question he asked, he shook the body more forcefully, as if trying to shake out the things that puzzled him from Su Wei's body.
"My goodness! What the hell is going on?!"
Chapter 100 You're a real tough guy now, Su Wei! (Bonus Chapter)
"Stop! Stop shaking!"
Su Wei felt like this big guy was shaking his breakfast out of him.
He grabbed Aruk's wrist with his other hand, twisted it forcefully, and finally freed his arm.
"Just lucky."
Su Wei rubbed his sore shoulders, not going into details about the life-or-death struggle in the U-Shaped Valley last night. "That guy was out of bullets and was stunned by the flashbang, so I just finished him off with a shot."
"It's... that simple?"
Aruk looked at him suspiciously, his thick black eyebrows twisted into a pretzel.
"Otherwise what?" Su Wei shrugged. "You think I can fight a former Marine with bayonets?"
Aruk scratched his head, his messy short hair looking like a bird's nest.
That sounds reasonable.
But he was also a hunter, and he knew that some things were not as simple as they sounded.
Neither Black's appreciation nor those ten points were based on luck.
However, Su Wei was unwilling to elaborate, and he wouldn't force him.
"Alright, you always manage to cause a big commotion."
Aruk grinned, his honest and simple nature returning, and slapped Su Wei on the back. "No matter what, ten points! Now, among our batch of new recruits, who can compare to you?"
"I don't even feel like my brother is my brother anymore, where did this ruthless person come from?!"
"You're a completely different person now! You're a true tough guy, Su Wei!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, his large face glowing red, even happier than if he had scored points himself. "If you ever become successful and a high-level hunter, don't forget to lend your brother a hand!"
"I can't forget it." Su Wei smiled.
"By the way, about the bear hunt..." Aruk rubbed his hands together, a little embarrassed, "I just heard from the Old Devil that he told you to rest. Shall we talk about this later?"
Although he's easygoing, he can still tell what's important.
Last night's confrontation with a wanted criminal was a life-or-death situation; anyone would hesitate in that situation.
"Okay, after I'm done with this busy period."
Su Wei didn't rule out any possibility, saying, "Let me settle things at home first, then we'll go into the mountains."
"That's great! Just hearing that is enough!"
"When you're ready, be sure to call me! The two of us are sure to catch the biggest brown bear on this island!"
Aruk was a straightforward man; since Su Wei had agreed, he didn't press the matter further.
He glanced again in the direction Black had left, then shrank back. "You should go back and rest; you don't look too well. I have to go too. I just saw that guy... Old Tom was calling for help unloading the goods. I'll go see if I can get a free drink."
