Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 115, First Exam Ended

"Are you sure you want to make a move here?" Russell remained completely unfazed despite being surrounded by so many people.

"Instead of taking the number plates from us, you should finish the exam as soon as possible and get your own number plates."

Russell was also confident in his abilities, especially since this was Kerry City, the Conrad family's stronghold.

If something really happens, he can even call for backup.

"We won't make things difficult for you, just tell us the specific information," a candidate said, trying to smooth things over.

"How could that be? Why would I tell you the information I've obtained?" Russell naturally wouldn't tell them these things.

He was able to complete the exam so quickly only because he relied on the power of his family.

It's impossible to tell others without their knowledge.

"If you want me to tell you this information, what price are you willing to pay?"

Russell didn't completely shut down the discussion.

Instead, he prefers to trade; as long as the other party can offer enough incentives, he is willing to trade with them.

Being able to participate in the Hunter Exam and arrive at the official examination venue shows that they must have some skills.

They could "work" for the Conrad family.

"Why bother talking to him so much? Just give him a couple of punches first, and he'll obediently tell us."

Not all test takers are easy to talk to.

Some test takers were already getting impatient and were planning to start taking action directly.

"You've been underestimated!" Russell suddenly attacked the person who had spoken, breaking his right leg with a single kick.

It reveals his brutal and decisive side.

As a mafia family, if you don't demonstrate sufficient methods, you won't be able to control your subordinates.

In particular, gang families place great importance on strength.

The reason why the Nosra family is looked down upon by other mafia families is mainly because this so-called mafia family is supported by Nion.

He relies solely on his divination skills.

They do not possess a large territory or a large number of subordinates.

Without Nyon, it's questionable whether they could even be called a mafia family.

"If you want to take action, I don't mind. Is there anyone else who wants to come?" Russell asked arrogantly.

The other candidates didn't make a move, but that didn't mean they were afraid of Russell.

Rather, Russell had the right to engage in equal dialogue, and the candidates did not trust each other.

If a fight breaks out, some candidates might offer their help in order to curry favor with Russell and obtain information from him.

I absolutely do not want to be the bad guy while others are the good guy.

Russell's trading method is very simple: you can use money.

If you don't have money, then it depends on whether the candidate has the ability to be noticed by Russell.

However, Russell generally does not believe that there are such candidates.

Because there's no need to ask such candidates for any information.

He quickly made deals with some test takers.

After obtaining the information, some candidates were approached by other candidates, and Russell and King quickly found themselves at ease.

"Did I scare you?" After doing all this, Russell was still a little worried that his friend Kim wouldn't like this side of him.

"Scared?" Jin asked, puzzled.

"Russell, I think you're amazing!" King praised, not finding anything wrong with Russell's violent side just now.

"As expected, I wasn't wrong about you." Russell became happy.

"Now that our exams are over, there should still be some time before they end. What are you planning to do next?" Russell asked.

Jin had so many things he wanted to do. Having just arrived in the outside world, he was filled with curiosity about everything around him.

There are many things I want to know.

The two left together.

At the higher levels, Elliott had already been informed of the situation by the staff.

"Wow, that fast!"

Elliott was initially surprised, because even if a candidate could discover his test on the first day, it would be impossible to pass the test and obtain a number plate on the second day.

After all, there are too many and too varied "events".

This tests the candidate's sensitivity to events and their ability to gather intelligence.

It even tests teamwork.

If test takers are aware of this, they can consider working in a team to complete the exam, since having more people gives them an advantage in this exam.

According to Elliott's estimate, the first person to pass through should be five days later.

At that point, once the candidates receive their number plates, it doesn't matter if other unsuspecting candidates find out.

However, due to Russell and King's relationship, this can be considered to have been exposed prematurely.

"Among the candidates this time, there is a member of the Conrad family who has used the Conrad family's power," the staff member informed Elliott.

"The Conrad family, huh! Oh well, that's that."

The exam content was prepared with great care, but no one expected there to be a "cheater".

Of course, Elliott didn't think it was cheating; he saw it as a form of skill.

Just like in the Hunter Exam, if a Nen user participates, the chances of passing the Hunter Exam are much greater.

Elliott was no stranger to the Conrad family, an important force in Cree.

Furthermore, many martial artists in the Sky Arena were employed by the Conrad family.

Elliott didn't want to change the difficulty of the exam; he felt it was best to let things take their natural course.

Even if these candidates know the exam content in advance, they may not necessarily pass easily.

The complicated exam content alone was a major obstacle.

Half a month passed quickly.

On the final day, all the candidates gathered in the hall. Some had received their number plates, while others who hadn't were pleading with the staff, saying they were just a few stamps away from getting theirs.

Hopefully, they can get it approved.

There are quite a few people like this.

During this time, King broadened his horizons in Cree and experienced many things, with Russell's help being a part of it.

After all, you need to spend money to experience certain things.

Here, Jin deeply felt what prosperity and civilization truly meant.

In the hall, the Dongba was holding three number plates and talking to the candidates who had not passed the exam.

When some test takers saw Dongba's behavior, they were surprised that they hadn't thought of this.

Because it's a test for license plates, there's no limit to the number of attempts.

Given enough time, candidates can obtain multiple number plates, but each candidate can only use one.

However, you can also choose to trade during this exam.

Dongba keenly noticed this and made some preparations for the exam.

Three more number plates were issued, and judging from his number 45, it didn't take long to obtain the number plate.

"I can give you the number plates so you can pass the first test, but you must help me pass the subsequent tests in return. In return, you will gain experience to continue participating in the Hunter Exam."

The Dongba now is not yet the future killer of newcomers.

At most, it's just that some candidates are malicious. Of course, if circumstances allow, he would never mind kicking someone when they're down.
