Lin Huang naturally did not know what had happened to the Stable Residence after he left.
When he and Lin Xin reached home, they were dumbfounded.
"Brother, is this our house?" Lin Xin tugged on Lin Huang's sleeve and asked uncertainly.
Lin Huang was stunned as the house in front of him was completely different. The small two-story duplex had now become a three-story luxurious villa. There was even an open-air garden on the rooftop of the third floor. There were all sorts of flowers and plants in the garden.
Looking at the number 23 on the door, Lin Huang was sure that this was his house. It was just that after the renovation, it had changed so much that he and Lin Xin almost could not recognize it.
They walked to the front door and keyed in the password. The two pushed the door open and entered the room.
Other than the original structure, the whole house was basically different from before. The terrazzo floor was now made of wood. The chandelier on the ceiling had become a luxurious version. The kitchen cabinets had been replaced with a new set of kitchen utensils. Not only was the living room carpeted with the fur of some unknown monster, even the sofa, chairs, and dining table were brand new. Even the toilet bowl in the bathroom had been changed.
The two of them went up to the second floor in shock. The original two-bedroom had become a single bedroom. The area had more than doubled, and the balcony had been expanded by two or three times.
The third floor was not there before, but now there was a large bedroom and bathroom.
As for the third floor, it was the semi-open garden that the two of them saw outside the house. Not only were all kinds of flowers and plants planted in the garden, there was even a full set of outdoor furniture. There were parasols, rattan tables and chairs, and even a hammock...
Lin Huang knew very well that the scale of the renovation was probably more expensive than buying two or three houses. He thought about it carefully and felt that the whole thing was a little strange. He could not help but call the middle-aged man from before, wanting to ask what was going on.
The call was quickly connected, and the middle-aged man's laughter could be heard. "Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with the renovation?"
"This is not the first time that monsters have broken into our base and destroyed our houses. I've seen the renovations of other houses in the past, and none of them have been treated like this. Not only did it come with a full set of furniture, but it even increased the floor. This was simply unheard of. Who are you people? What's your purpose? "Lin Huang had a feeling that things weren't that simple.
"You are Young Master Li's friend. Of course, we have to do our best to work for you." The middle-aged man didn't hide it and said Young Master Li's name.
"Young Master Li?" Lin Huang was stunned. "You mean Li Lang?"
"That's right, Young Master Li. He helped you apply for a damage assessment. Our boss immediately took it seriously after seeing it and specifically ordered us to do a good job with the repairs, "the middle-aged man in the suit explained.
"What exactly is Li Lang's identity?" Lin Huang could not help but ask.
"Don't you know? His father is one of the three vice presidents of the Division7 Hunters' Association and his mother is a Division7 councilman of the Coalition government. "The middle-aged man's explanation enlightened Lin Huang.
It turned out that the boss of the middle-aged man in the suit thought that he and Li Lang were friends and wanted to use him to increase the favorability of Li Lang's family. What they did not know was that Lin Huang and Li Lang had only met once and they weren't friends at all.
Of course, Lin Huang wouldn't tell them about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford the reconstruction fees.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Huang pretended that he had never asked about it and started to organize the things that he would need for the Reserve Hunter assessment.
It was a school holiday for Lin Xin. After lunch, Lin Huang went to the Credit Bureau to exchange the Life Crystal Pieces that he got from Li Lang for 100,000 credit points.
He then transferred 20,000 credit points to Lin Xin and reminded her, "The Reserve Hunter assessment will take about 10 to 15 days. Take care of yourself during this period and don't be afraid of spending money. When I become a hunter, there will be more opportunities to earn money in the future. "
"Yes, brother, you will definitely pass the assessment!" Lin Xin was very confident in Lin Huang.
Both of them arrived at the Eagle Station. Lin Huang patted Lin Xin's head and turned around to pay the fee. He then hopped onto an eagle. Lin Xin watched as the eagle carried Lin Huang into the sky and disappeared from her sight. She then turned around and left.
Lin Huang sat on the eagle and was secretly amazed by the variety of monsters in this world.
The eagle had the limbs of a feline. Its claws could be extended and retracted at will. Its jumping ability and running ability were quite amazing. However, other than its limbs, the rest of its body was completely the structure of a bird of prey. It had the head of an eagle and a pair of wings that were more than eight meters wide.
Not only did this type of bird of prey have all kinds of advantages in terms of body structure, but it also had the ability to control the wind element, which made it an extremely fast species in the monster world.
A few hundred years ago, the eagle was the most troublesome among the low-level monsters.
Every time they moved, they would come in large numbers. Their speed and explosive power were terrifying, and their attack power was not weak either. They caused quite a lot of damage to the human settlements. Fortunately, humans slowly adapted to the eagle's fighting style and turned the situation around. In the past few hundred years, the eagle had been captured and tamed by humans, and became the most common flying tool in the world.
Although the eagle that Lin Huang was riding on was not the largest, it had the best color of feathers. The feathers on its belly were faintly golden, and it was unusually handsome. It was obviously well-fed.
The eagle's normal flying speed was about 700 kilometers per hour. When it went all out, its speed could be doubled. However, it would only go all out when it was escaping.
At such a high speed, it was very uncomfortable for a person to sit on the back of a Wind Eagle. Therefore, the saddle pad on the back of the Wind Eagle was a special kind of defensive equipment. It could lock onto the body of the Wind Eagle and also form a transparent protective shield to protect the rider.
It took less than two hours for the eagle to travel from foothold No.7D101 to foothold No.7C87. Lin Huang walked out of the eagle station and opened the map on his tail ring. He then walked towards the Hunters' Association branch.
Soon, he found the Hunters' Association branch. There were people coming and going at the entrance, it was very lively. C-grade footholds were medium-sized footholds. There were millions of people, and tens of thousands of hunters. Moreover, there were hunters from the small footholds nearby who came to submit their missions, and ordinary people who came to issue missions.
As Lin Huang walked into the entrance, a young lady came up to him.
The lady looked like she was in her early twenties, and she was wearing the Hunters' Association's uniform. "Sir, how may I help you?"
"I'm here to participate in the Reserve Hunter Assessment." Lin Huang told her the purpose of his visit.
"Alright, please follow me." The lady gave Lin Huang a professional smile and brought Lin Huang to a meeting room. She then extended her hand and said, "Come in."
"Thank you." Lin Huang nodded and entered the room.
Lin Huang was stunned as soon as he entered the room because there were already hundreds of people sitting in groups of twos and threes.
"There are so many people who signed up today? Doesn't that mean there will be more than a thousand people participating in the assessment tomorrow? "Lin Huang was confused. He found a seat at the back and sat down.
Not long after he sat down, a few more people came in one after another. A fat man sat down on the empty seat on his left.
Fatso seemed to be familiar with him. He smiled and asked softly, "Not bad, brother. You're not even iron-level but you've passed the preliminary assessment. Did you get in through the back door?"
"Passed the preliminary assessment? Do you mean that all of you have signed up? "Lin Huang stared at Fatso with his eyes wide open.
"Of course. Otherwise, how would we know to gather here at 4 p.m. to listen to the examiner's explanation of the assessment content and rules?" Fatty then realized that Lin Huang's question was a little strange. He looked at Lin Huang suspiciously. "Don't tell me you've sneaked in without registering yourself?" Lin Huang asked.
"Erm …" Before Lin Huang could answer, the sound of high heels hitting the floor could be heard. A lady pushed the door of the meeting room open and walked towards the podium.
The noisy meeting room suddenly became silent. Everyone's attention was attracted to her.
It was a lady with a straight ponytail. She wore a short skirt that revealed her long legs. She was wearing a pair of black sky-high shoes that were almost 20 centimeters tall. She was tall, at least 1.75 meters. With the shoes, she was almost two meters tall. She was tall enough to look down on everyone in the meeting room.
The most eye-catching thing about her wasn't her height, but her breasts that were tightly wrapped in her white shirt. Although they weren't exposed at all, the swaying of her breasts made all the men in the conference room gulp involuntarily.
It was not an exaggeration to describe the lady's body as a devil's.
"The Witch Yi Yeyu really lives up to her name …" Fatso who was next to her was drooling as he said that. Lin Huang saw that and moved to the right.
The lady walked to the podium and glanced at everyone. Her gaze stopped on Lin Huang as Lin Huang was the only one who was not even iron-level. However, she did not say anything and started to introduce herself.
"Hi everyone, my name is Yi Yeyu. I'm the examiner in charge of the assessment. For this test, the number of people who have passed the initial screening is 133. Now, it is time for me to arrive at the designated time — 4 PM. The number of people present is 127. There are still six people who have yet to arrive. I hereby announce that these six people will be considered to have given up on the assessment. "
"Now, I'll explain the rules of the assessment tomorrow. I'll only say it once, so please listen carefully. Also, please keep quiet when I'm talking. If you have any questions, you can ask them after I'm done. "
"Tomorrow morning at 8 am, everyone will gather in this meeting room. Those who are late will be considered to have given up on the assessment. In your storage space, you are not allowed to bring any equipment that is above iron-level. You are not allowed to bring any poison or any other prohibited items. Before the assessment officially begins, there will be specialized staff checking your storage space. All the prohibited items that do not meet the requirements will be temporarily confiscated and we will take care of them. If you have any valuable items that you don't want us to take care of, you can look for a place to store them when you get back. "
"I won't reveal the details of the assessment. I'll let you know when everyone has gathered tomorrow morning." Yi Yeyu's speech was short. After she was done, she glanced at everyone and asked, "Is there anyone who has any questions? You can ask now."
The group of people looked at each other and no one dared to speak. At the back of the meeting room, a hand was slowly raised … The person who raised his hand was Lin Huang.
"What questions do you have? Speak!" Yi Yeyu lifted her chin and asked Lin Huang.
"Erm … I haven't registered yet. Is it too late to register now?" Lin Huang asked weakly.
There were more than 100 people who heard him and they had a strange expression on their faces.
