In this world, due to the existence of wild beasts and disastrous plants, humans are not the overlords who rule the world, but have been constantly resisting, defending, expanding, and reclaiming wasteland.

According to the security level, the Kyushu Alliance divided each area into four categories: [Ruins Area], [Unrest Area], [Stable Area], and [Purification Area].

Among them, the [Standing District], where Shanhai City is located, is an area occupied by humans and can build a stable city. The large wild beasts and disastrous plants in this area have been basically cleared away, and the threats mainly come from low-level creatures.

The so-called low-level creatures refer to the I bronze-level and II-black iron level wild beasts and disaster plants. Creatures of this level are not a big threat to humans in the city, but they reproduce very quickly. If they are not cleaned up from time to time,

, it is very likely to form a wave of wild beasts!

——Once the desolate beast disaster occurs, hundreds of thousands or millions of low-level desolate beasts will gather together and attack human cities. The scene is comparable to a natural disaster.

After all, there are at least one million humans in each city. To the wild beasts, these are simply delicious snacks. How can we not drive them crazy?

Therefore, in a place occupied by humans like the [Stable Zone], the only threatening problem is the wave of low-level desolate beasts. The only remaining threat is that desolate beasts occasionally advance to III blue steel level or IV silver level.

It’s not really bothersome.

In order to clean up the huge number of low-level wild beasts that reproduce rapidly, every city has an organization called the "Hunting Wild Beast". Everyone can establish their own "Hunting Wild Beast" in the hunting wild beast.

[Hunting Group] The procedure is simple, and the handling fee for establishment is very low. There are thousands of hunting groups, almost similar to the mercenary groups in fantasy novels. There are individuals, chambers of commerce, and families, and they vary in size.

, but they mainly leave the city and make money by hunting wild beasts.

Don't underestimate the low-level wild beasts. Their source crystals, leather, bones, and flesh are all good things. It can be said that as long as the dead wild beasts are dead, humans will have no unwanted parts. Even the feces can drive away the beasts.

In small cities like Shanhai City, [hunting groups] are usually not large, with most groups consisting of six or twelve people. The largest hunting group only has more than a hundred people.

——No matter how old they are, they can no longer be raised. Although low-level wild beasts are full of treasures, there are too many and the price will never rise. If you send out hundreds of people in a hunting group and kill them all, you will clear out an area.

, in the end, on average, it is not as profitable as other small hunting groups.

Therefore, those hunting groups with large numbers and size disdain to kill low-level wild beasts. They are looking for those wild beasts that accidentally promoted from the II black iron level to the III blue steel level.

Although the difference is only one level, the difference between the II black iron level and the III blue steel level means that the value of a low-level desolate beast to a mid-level desolate beast is dozens of times higher.

As for the IV silver-level desolate beasts, they are all about fifty meters in size. Basically no one in Shanhai City’s hunting group can win them. However, Shanhai City is in the [Anding District] after all. The absence of IV silver-level desolate beasts is an indicator.

Requests are usually handed over to the army stationed in the city.

Of course, when the hunting group returns to the city with their prey, they are not allowed to enter the city. Instead, they sell it directly to the [Hunting Station] at the entrance. Only after paying taxes can the money reach everyone's hands.

The city's hunting tax on hunting groups is not high, but it is not low either, accounting for one-tenth of the total revenue.

Don't think that this 10% tax is a lot and unreasonable. In fact, it is a kind of protection fee. After all, the hunting group kills certain wild beasts, which may sometimes lead to retaliation, causing the city to be attacked, and the army

It’s impossible to clean someone’s house for nothing.

However, this rule actually has loopholes that can be exploited - after the wild beasts are killed by the hunting group, they have to take them back to the city and pay one-tenth of the tax after selling them in the city.

What if I don’t take it back to the city? I’ll sell it directly outside!

Because of this loophole, and because the stable area has a certain degree of security, some large hunting groups, chambers of commerce, and families choose to build small villages and towns like satellite cities around the city. The returning hunting groups will place their prey in the villages and towns.

Even if it is sold inside, it is cheaper, but since there is no need to pay taxes, it will be more profitable.

In the beginning, these hunting groups, chambers of commerce, and families who established towns did make a lot of money, but this kind of behavior, which was equivalent to trying to steal the city's tax revenue, soon attracted legal sanctions from the alliance.

Today, if you want to build a new satellite town around a city, you not only need huge deposits and land fees, but you also need to pay certain resources and taxes to the city every year.

But even so, the number of satellite towns is still rising every year, because most of the transactions of various hunting groups are almost done here - only one-twentieth of the tax needs to be paid, which is less than entering the city.

Half of the price was paid, and various chambers of commerce were bidding here, so the price was higher than selling it directly to [Karrying Place].

There are three satellite towns around Shanhai City, all of which have been established for decades. Because the cost of living is lower and there is more freedom, many people are not returning to the city, but living in villages and towns.

The orphanage Ji Luo once lived in was in one of the villages and towns. The parents of the children living there were basically members of the hunting group. Among them, not many children would actually be adopted, or in other words, they

I don't really want others to adopt me.

——Because most of the children will join various hunting groups when they grow up and become brave and fearless hunters who fight wild beasts.

"Ji Luo, what was your dream?"

"Become a realm warrior, join the wilderness hunting group, kill wild beasts, and protect the city."

Ji Luo walked beside Jiang Yingluo, looking at the green scenery in the distance, vaguely remembering things from his childhood.

"Oh, the hunter group~ It's a very interesting thing. I've seen many great hunters. The sight of them fighting wild beasts is so cool."

Jiang Yingluo's past experience was much richer than Ji Luo's. She thought of her career as a hunter. At that time, she was running around hunting. Although she was always in danger, she had to say that it was really exciting and exciting.

An exciting journey.

Because they wanted to test new equipment, Ji Luo and Jiang Yingluo did not choose to take a bus to the village. Due to urban defense and visibility reasons, all the trees within ten kilometers around Shanhai City were cleared. The two walked on the meadow,

It's as leisurely as an outing.

"Ji Luo, what about now, have you given up on your dream?"

"Ha... I don't know. Although I have become a realm warrior now, but... I want to become stronger and live a good life. Talking about dreams and so on is a bit luxurious."
