Book 7: Chapter 4: Guidance Mission
Xiaonan’s words were a bit fragmented, but Qin Lun, relying on his strong logical reasoning skills, still managed to piece together what he meant, and soon fell into deep thought.
The ‘workers’ the two children spoke of were residents of Meteor Street hired from outside. Most of them possessed special talents, mainly in combat skills. The organizations hiring them included not only the Mafia and violent groups, but even secret spy agencies of certain countries.
However, compared to Meteor Street’s population of eight million, the number of residents hired was relatively small. Therefore, whenever those Mafia organizations sent employment requests to the Meteor Street Council of Elders, Meteor Street would also hold some informal selections.
The reason these employment opportunities were so popular was that the violent organizations hiring the workers, besides paying the workers a sum of money, would also provide their area of Meteor Street or their violence gang with a considerable amount of living resources.
To ensure the entire Meteor Street benefited from external employment, these selections were mostly distributed across various regions of Meteor Street. The selection slots were allocated by region, preventing a few slots from being monopolized by the large violence gangs. The area where Xiaonan lived also had several selection slots, and the violence gang led by Gutou was assigned one.
Of course, judging from previous years, members of Gutou’s gang basically never made the cut. They didn’t have any combat professions with special talents. Participating would only mean they ended up at the bottom, and they could easily lose their lives, so they often just gave up on the selection outright.
After hearing Xiaonan, Qin Lun immediately realized he had found the mission clue. His initial assumption was slightly off. His Guidance Mission was indeed in Meteor Street, but the Main Quest might not be.
From the information obtained so far, Shattered Starry Sky might have truly calculated his needs within the Space-Time Locator Sphere. At the very least, Shattered Starry Sky was seriously guiding him onto the path of a “Hunter” in this world.
From the ‘workers’, it could be inferred that Meteor Street likely had many people with high-level combat abilities. Staying in Meteor Street offered a high probability of coming into contact with “Hunters”.
