Volume 5: Bottomless Sinkhole Chapter 231 Qualification Certification
"Alas... you guys are useless at the critical moment..." The Hound sighed, "In my opinion, we have already faced giants like Leviathan. Although we didn't kill them in the end, we played an important role in the battle. How about calling it 'Honghuang Hunting Group'? Specializing in hunting Honghuang species, it sounds like a kingly and domineering feeling."
"Well?" The Hound shrugged. "Since none of you can think of any better suggestions, I'll take this as your agreement, okay?"
"Then you might as well call yourself the God Hunting Group. Isn't hunting gods more awesome than hunting prehistoric creatures?" Ke Lan said casually. For some reason, although he was very afraid of the strange sight that spanned countless dimensions, deep in his heart, he had a tyrannical desire to kill the owner of this sight.
Is it because of fear?
Ke Lan once read such a statement in a psychology paper: If the emotion of fear reaches a certain level, it will often go to two extremes, and one of the extremes is anger, which is a kind of anger that completely loses reason and is completely dominated by the desire for destruction.
If it is really possible to hunt the "God" mentioned by the Alpha civilization...
At this moment, the Hound suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, it has been uploaded successfully, and it is waiting for manual review."
"Wait? You uploaded it? Then what name did you choose?" Ke Lan asked in astonishment.
"At first I wrote 'Honghuang Hunting Group', but that name was already taken by someone else, and it was a lowest-level hunting group with only four people... Then I tried the name you mentioned, and it was successful as soon as I clicked upload."
"Hunting...Hunting God Hunting Group?" Ke Lan opened his mouth slightly, looking at the hound sitting across the table speechlessly, "This...this name is too childish, isn't it?"
"Well, the name is just a code name, to be frank. The key still depends on your strength. If you are a top hunting group that can easily deal with S-level ruins, no one will dare to laugh at you even if your name is shit..." When the Hound said this, he was suddenly stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"Fuck, I just searched it and found out there is a group called the Dog Shit Hunting Group..."
“…”
The review process for consortium-level hunting groups is much stricter than that for low-level hunting groups. In addition to the initial registered capital, the various qualification certification documents that need to be submitted are even more cumbersome and complicated... Fortunately, there is a dedicated channel for consortium-level hunting group applications, so you don't have to queue up with hunters applying for low-level hunting groups.
After about two hours, the application documents were approved. The next step was to go to the office for formal registration. After calling Maginot to ask for a letter of recommendation, Ke Lan and the others took their respective documents and drove directly to the hunting group office closest to the safe house.
…
"What the hell? Why does qualification certification require this thing? I have never heard of this before!"
"I'm very sorry, sir," the young clerk behind the counter said with a smile, but his tone showed no sign of giving in. "This qualification certification threshold was added two months ago. The purpose is to prevent people from registering shell hunting groups and then obtaining intelligence and reselling it second-hand..."
"Listen carefully!" The Hound's voice could not help but rise three degrees. "We want to register a consortium-level hunting group - consortium-level hunting group, do you understand? Have you ever seen anyone spend 300 million to register an empty shell hunting group? The price of selling that little bit of information can't even make back the handling fee!"
"But... this is the rule from above..."
"Can't you be flexible?"
"I'm just a clerk. I don't have that authority... And, sir, you also said that you want to register a consortium-level hunting group, and the average number of registrations per year is less than one... If you try to skip this qualification certification process, the people above will find that there is a problem with the registration process without a careful check..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking--" The Hound waved his hand at the clerk a little irritably, then turned his head and glanced at the others with an expression that said, "You all heard it, what should we do about this?"
The new "qualification certification threshold" mentioned by the clerk means that new hunting groups need to complete a task of the corresponding level when registering to prove their team strength; as for those old hunting groups that have already completed registration, they need to complete at least one task of the corresponding level every six months. If they exceed the time limit, they will face the risk of demotion and may even be directly cancelled.
The task for a consortium-level hunting group is naturally to explore a "ruin certified as S-level with an exploration level of less than 50%." In addition, there are also high requirements for the hunter's casualty rate and the total value of the spoils.
However, after completing this exploration mission, it will be directly filed under the name of the newly registered hunting group and included in the hunting group ranking list.
To put it bluntly, even if you want to register for a hunting group now, you still have to submit a "letter of allegiance" first.
"I don't think this is a big problem," Layton muttered. "What the clerk said is actually correct. There are so many hunting groups in the circle now, big and small, and almost one-third of them are empty hunting groups with no mission records at all. This trend should really be rectified... Besides, didn't the eldest lady of the Soma Group require us to rush to the top five of the rankings within three months? Then after completing the registration, we must take on a lot of difficult tasks... Since this qualification certification task is also counted in the ranking, isn't it the same as taking tasks after completing the registration?"
"That's what I said... But the problem is, S-level ruins are not public toilets . You can't come and go as you please. According to my original plan, after completing the registration, I will take on a bunch of A-level ruins exploration missions with lower difficulty. We will act separately and use the number of people to stack up the rankings... Even though there is only one level difference between S-level and A-level ruins, the degree of danger is simply heaven and earth."
Just taking hunters of Ke Lan's level into account, the average survival rate for exploring A-level ruins is about 70% to a little less than 80%... and the survival rate for exploring S-level ruins has dropped to less than 40%.
"It's hard to rely on quantity ." Ivan shook his head. "I just checked the rules of the hunting group rankings. With the same completion rate and loot value... the ranking points obtained from an S-level ruins exploration mission are almost 15 times more than those from an A-level ruins exploration mission."
"If we rely solely on exploring A-level ruins, there is no way we can reach the top five in the rankings within three months."
