The captains, having seen that the Ocean Court had already intervened and that the Law Enforcers had surrounded the scene, prepared to turn and leave.
The Law Enforcers are here, so there’s nothing for us to do.
From past experience, once the Ocean Court got involved, it ant the matter was over.
Those Hunters wouldn’t dare continue their cris right under the eyes of a Law Enforcent Officer.
They could only choose to quietly leave this place.
Otherwise, they’d either be discovered and captured by the Law Enforcent Officer,
or their panel would gradually change into a Hunter panel, with the special aura belonging to Hunters becoming stronger, making it impossible to hide their presence.
But this ti, the Law Enforcers actually notified everyone to gather around, preparing to make an announcent.
What’s going on?
Is there sothing else for us to do?
Are they planning to announce a task?
Everyone was quite expectant, crowding around.
Fang Yu mingled in the crowd, curiously looking at the Law Enforcent Officer ahead.
The Law Enforcent Officer displayed a scroll filled with densely packed special characters to everyone, then began to speak:
"As you all can see, with the continuous influx of Outer Realm Captains, security incidents are increasing, and the manpower pressure on the Ocean Court is also rising.
Therefore, the Ocean Court has recently introduced a new regulation, preparing to let Outer Realm Captains resolve the security incidents among themselves."
There was an uproar in the audience.
One by one, the captains displayed bewildered looks, thinking they had misheard.
What did you say?
Security incidents to be resolved by us?
Are you sure you’re asking us newbies, weaklings, retreat specialists to deal with the vicious Hunters?
This Law Enforcer... might be a bit too confident in our abilities?
Incredible...
Fang Yu in the crowd didn’t show much expression, just focused on waiting for the Law Enforcent Officer to continue speaking.
In fact, if you have to say, at this mont the Hunters aren’t much different in combat power from ordinary captains.
It’s all about headshots with a single bullet.
The difference lies in... psychological issues.
Even a grown man, a strong man, would instinctively avoid a scrawny man wielding a knife on the street, not daring to provoke.
At this stage, both sides are newbies, both weaklings; the gap in essential abilities hasn’t widened yet.
If you face them head-on and don’t get scared, there’s still a chance to kill a Hunter.
But psychological issues are enough to make many captains shrink back.
Evidently, the Law Enforcers also considered this problem, and the squad leader with two water droplets on his epaulette stepped forward and said to the crowd:
"Everyone, the Ocean Court isn’t completely abandoning you; we’ll maintain a protective stance in these kinds of situations, rather than an investigative stance."
"There will still be a Law Enforcer stationed at Qiyun Port, but they will only be there to safeguard, not actively pursue the Hunters."
"Please understand, the Ocean Court indeed has significant manpower pressure and can’t allocate more Law Enforcers to pursue this matter."
The squad leader spoke loudly, making the captains show thoughtful expressions.
"The Law Enforcers will be guarding for a week, so those few Hunters won’t be too reckless."
"As for the investigation work, we’ll release it in the form of a bounty."
"If a captain can truly track down a Hunter, or even kill one, they will receive a reward from the Ocean Court!"
The squad leader paused, speaking with many implied anings: "This reward might greatly aid your future developnt."
"Alright, the bounty scroll is here now. If any captain wishes to accept this bounty, co register with . Once you imprint your aura and then encounter and kill a Hunter, your achievents will be displayed on the bounty scroll."
The squad leader smiled and encouraged.
Upon hearing the squad leader’s words, the captains exchanged glances with each other.
"Let’s disperse; we only have one life, no need to push it this hard."
"Indeed, this isn’t a ga; if you die, you’re truly dead. That’s a gun-toting desperado, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any ti. Better not get involved."
"Playing it safe, playing it safe; stay stealthy and develop slowly."
"In the early stages, this tiny bit of improvent can’t stop bullets. You’d have to be crazy to take this bounty..."
One by one, the captains wore difficult expressions, shook their heads, and scattered, not daring to take this bounty at all.
The crowd quickly dispersed, leaving only a few captains remaining on the spot.
Fang Yu was one of them.
Everyone looked at each other, many glances fell on Fang Yu, noticing nothing special, and then gradually moved away.
anwhile, Fang Yu seized the mont to quietly observe the situations of the others.
There were three types of captains among those who stayed.
One type was the impulsive ones...
Those looking to seize an opportunity without properly assessing their own strength, thinking they might get lucky and kill a Hunter for a big gain.
This type had restless faces and expressions, with hints of luck in their eyes, easily identifiable.
About thirty people.
Fang Yu imdiately ignored them; they were just fools.
The other type was obviously... not to be ssed with!
So people were muscular and towering, with muscles shining with a tallic sheen, appearing resolute and robust.
Others seed no different on the surface, but with careful observation, you could see thick calluses on their hands, sharp eyes exuding a brilliant light.
These two types generally had a foundation.
It’s normal; in the few years following the arrival of Ocean World, many on Blue Star also knew about its existence.
Naturally, so targeted training for Ocean World took place.
Either training combat skills and strengthening physique,
Or training firearms and shooting abilities.
About a dozen people.
Fang Yu paid slight attention to this type.
Usually, those who have the willpower to plan and train ahead of ti are either dedicated gars or disciplined individuals.
Such people are indeed more likely to adapt to this world than other captains.
As for the third type...
It’s a bit of a mixed bag.
The third type consists of high spenders.
Well-connected individuals.
Either they have relatives who have already established a foothold in this world and casually gave them so help, allowing them to grow faster.
Or they’re the spoiled offspring of rich families, from financial groups, spending a lot of money buying many resources.
These people, so are indeed capable, but many are also ineffectual.
Strength is hard to say.
Fang Yu glanced over and then withdrew his gaze.
This group of people is hard to judge, and Fang Yu didn’t intend to focus on them.
Uh.
As for himself, where does Fang Yu fit in?
Fang Yu thought for a mont and silently placed himself in a fourth category.
Hmm...
The fourth type...
