The preliminaries came without warning. It started and ended without a sound. The results were then announced.
Lin Huang roughly understood the style of the Hunters' Association. They were capricious.
"It seems like I have to take this seriously. I don't want to be disqualified …" Lin Huang finally felt threatened.
Due to the assessment, the Hunters' Association was closed for the day.
Lin Huang and the rest walked into the hall. The hall was empty.
There was a short man standing at the information counter in the middle of the hall.
The man was less than 1.7 meters tall. He had a mustache above his lips. He was wearing a black suit and a black hat. He was holding a black walking stick in his hand.
"I'm the head examiner for the second round of assessment, Jorin. Firstly, I'd like to congratulate all of you for passing the first round." Jorin glanced at the crowd and raised his eyebrows slightly. "There are still more than ten thousand people. Old Xu, you've really disappointed me this time … It seems like I'll have to lower the passing rate to below fifty percent …"
Although the latter part of his sentence was muttered in a low voice, it was heard clearly by all the examinees present. After hearing this, everyone became a little nervous.
"Don't mind what I said at the end." Jorin stroked his mustache. "Compared to the other examiners, I'm a very gentle person. I don't like fighting and killing."
"This kind of person is scarier …" Lin Huang thought to himself.
Many of them had a strange expression on their faces. It was obvious that they had the same opinion as Lin Huang.
However, there were a minority of naive people who believed him and began to relax.
"The assessment that I've arranged for everyone is very gentle," Jorin continued, "The assessment is very simple. It's treasure hunting."
"Treasure hunting is a basic skill for hunters. It's not exclusive to treasure hunters. Ordinary hunters should have the ability to search for items or people. In the process of searching, many of your abilities can be trained and improved. That's why I've set the assessment as treasure hunting. "
Many of the contestants pricked up their ears to listen, afraid that they would miss any information.
"This is what I want everyone to look for." Jorin took out a black crystal from his storage space and held it up high.
Everyone immediately looked at his hand.
It was a black crystal the size of a thumb. It looked slightly turbid, like a mineral crystal that wasn't worth much. However, many people couldn't help but frown when they saw how small it was.
Even if it was placed in the home of an ordinary resident, it might not be found in a short period of time.
"Because there are too many people and time is limited, I won't be passing them around. Everyone, come closer and observe. Don't touch it with your hands, just observe with your eyes. " After Jorin said that, he took a jewelry rack and placed the crystal on it. Then, he stepped aside.
A group of people immediately swarmed over and surrounded the shelf to observe it.
Lin Huang did not squeeze through. Instead, he activated Boundless Vision and observed from afar.
With Boundless Vision, Lin Huang could see it clearly.
The black crystal didn't look like a mineral crystal because it didn't have a crystal structure. It looked more like amber resin or something similar to plastic.
Of course, one couldn't touch it with their hands. Lin Huang couldn't be sure just by observing it.
The observation lasted for more than half an hour. Basically, everyone had a close look at it. Lin Huang went closer when there weren't many people around. He used Boundless Vision to observe it again. However, the result was no different from the previous conclusion.
"Alright, now that everyone has finished observing, you can see what it is." Jorin smiled and kept the item. "Now, I'll provide you with the specific question for this round."
The noisy hall of the association quietened down immediately. Everyone was afraid that they would miss out on the important information of the assessment. Their eyes were fixed on Jorin.
After all, many of the head examiners in the Hunters' Association had the bad habit of being capricious. It was possible that they would only say the question once and not repeat it. If they didn't hear it, the information that they got from the other candidates might not be true.
"My question is very simple. Look for the black crystal that you saw earlier." Jorin smirked. He seemed to enjoy being a head examiner when he saw the anxious and nervous expressions on everyone's faces.
"The assessment will cover the entire Beixuan City. The item is in the city, so don't waste time looking for it outside the city. I've placed 5,000 of these crystals in the entire city. There are more than 11,000 of you who passed the first round. Therefore, more than half of you will be eliminated in this round. "
"The assessment will last for 48 hours. You'll have to hand me a black crystal that looks exactly like the one that you saw earlier within 48 hours to pass this round."
"I'll be waiting for you in this hall for the next 48 hours. You can pass the item to me anytime you want. It doesn't matter what time it is in the morning, don't worry about my rest. "
Zhuo Lin finally explained the details of the second round of the assessment.
Many of them frowned after listening to him. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack to look for a crystal the size of a thumb in such a huge B-grade foothold. Furthermore, they had to complete the assessment within 48 hours. The difficulty of the assessment was rather high.
"There's something that I'd like to mention. I've secretly marked the 5,000 black crystals that I've placed. Therefore, if you want to fake it, you don't have to waste your time trying to replicate it. If I find out that the black crystal that I've placed isn't one of the 5,000 that I've placed, I'll blacklist you and you won't be able to participate in the assessment for the next three years, "Jorin warned them again.
"Mister examiner, isn't there any hint? If that's the case, doesn't that mean we can only try our luck? "A female candidate could not help but ask.
Many of them wanted to ask the same question but they dared not.
They immediately looked at Jorin when they heard the question.
"Of course there's a hint. It's very simple. There's only one word: Weed." Jorin looked at the time. "It's 8: 51 am now. I'll treat it as 9 am. Those who pass the item to me within 48 hours, which is before 9 am the day after tomorrow, will pass the assessment. "
"I've given you all the necessary information. If you have any questions, figure it out yourself. I hereby announce the start of the second round of assessment! "
Tens of thousands of people swarmed out of the Hunters' Association as soon as Jorin finished his sentence.
As soon as everyone left, the head examiner of the first round walked into the hall slowly.
"It's so crowded. What question did you give them? They rushed out in a hurry, "Xu Jinpeng smiled and asked.
"Two words: Weed." Jorin smiled and gave the answer.
"Are you serious? Are you trying to stir up trouble? What if none of them passed? " Xu Jinpeng was stunned for a moment and quickly asked. He clearly knew what Jorin meant by weeds.
