Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

"Hound Step?"

"Yes... it's a special reward only for the elderly, and only I have it here."

Hui Shu rubbed his hand lightly and shot out a gray skill card.

Chen Qi took the skill card.

On the front of the card was a ragged figure under the moon, emulating the posture of a hound to evade the pursuit of a giant hand from a grave.

On the back of the card was a mouse wearing a monocle, with a signature "G" at the bottom, indicating the cardmaker's craftsmanship.

[Hound Step

Nature Form: Shadow

Learning Conditions: Master Qi Power, master one movement technique, minor Shadow Phase Insight]

Description: Like a hound, tear into your opponent!

Function: Practicing this skill grants significant agility bonuses. Activating this skill grants substantial movement technique bonuses, significantly increasing speed while reducing your Spirit Power Field.]

Note: After mastering this skill, you'll acquire the "Instant Step" skill, enabling high-speed movement in a specified direction by combining Qi Power.]

An agility-based Hound Step... Chen Qi looked at the skill.

Explosive speed increase, Spirit Power Field concealment, and highly operational Instant Step—this skill could be considered a very comprehensive agility skill.

One could say this skill could serve as a graduation skill card for a Second-tier agility user.

With Hui Shu, this was a must-have skill card!

Chen Qi glanced over Hui Shu's other skill cards and replied:

"No problem."

Hui Shu handed over the remaining fifty thousand shell coins and a strength potion to Chen Qi:

"To be honest, our association has a long-standing partnership with the White Dove Newspaper. If you obtain information, I will find a way to sell it at a high price to the White Dove Newspaper, and we can split the profits evenly."

"..."

Mr. Hui Shu, your business is really extensive... Chen Qi couldn't help but remark inwardly.

Even though he knew that Mr. Hui Shu had already partnered with the Blood Blade Pirate Group and the Ice Demon Pirate Group!

As a semi-official organization, Hui Shu didn't seem to care about the "Hunter Association's" rules and regulations.

After receiving confirmation, Hui Shu extended his hand, shook Chen Qi's hand, and said:

"Leave it to you, Levin!"

"???"

Levin? Chen Qi looked at Hui Shu in confusion.

Did the chairman really look at my profile? Why call me Levin?

Wait, could it be because I called myself Levin when I went to the distillery?

Chen Qi had specifically instructed the distillery people not to reveal his information.

But it turned out that the information still reached the chairman's ears.

The other party managed to gather this intelligence but didn't look at my records... Chen Qi didn't know how to respond.

And, did I set up Levin to fall into a trap...?

At this moment, Hui Shu handed the Second-tier Hunter's Certificate to Chen Qi:

"As for the Black Hunter's mission, take your time. Anyway, newbie! Welcome to the Hunter Association! The most free organization in the Witch Sea!"

Chen Qi took the certificate and opened it, finding his name correctly listed.

I finally got this Hunter's Certificate!

Regarding the Black Hunter's mission... Chen Qi thought about it. This mission had a long timeline and couldn't be completed directly, otherwise, it would expose his identity.

Chen Qi nodded, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left the Hunter Association, heading to the dock, prepared to meet up with Fen for their sea voyage.
