The assessment for Regular Hunters was held twice a year in June and December.
It was previously held only once a year in June. However, in the last hundred years, the number of candidates who registered for the assessment increased rapidly so they increased the number of assessments to twice a year.
One could register for the assessment directly via the network. However, they had to attend the assessment at a B-grade big-sized foothold.
It was now early November. Lin Huang planned to take a break since the assessment was one month away.
He arrived in this world back in June and had been very busy throughout the last five months. He had encountered transcendent monsters many times where other people would have probably been lucky to have only met them once in a lifetime. He was living quite an interesting life.
Despite the fact that the content of the Regular Hunter Assessment varied each year, with his bronze-level rank-3 combat ability, Lin Huang was confident that it would not be difficult for him to pass the assessment without disclosing his identity as an Imperial Censor. Therefore, he did not need to put in much effort into the assessment.
After some thought, the only thing he could do now was to stabilize his Life Power by using his Life Skills. After completing the Regular Hunter Assessment, he would be upgraded to silver-level immediately.
However, before this, he had one task to do.
Staring at the Emperor's Heart Ring on his left index finger, he hesitated for a moment. He then decided to call Yang Ling.
Yang Ling was the skinny man who made Lin Huang a fake Emperor's Heart Ring at Daxi City. The moment he saw the football, Lin Huang knew that he was also a traveler.
It rang for about 10 seconds and the communication device connected.
"What's up? Do you have any business for me?" Yang Ling's voice was heard from the communication device.
"How did you know that it's not because something is wrong with the Emperor's Heart Ring? How did you know that I called you to ask for help?" Lin Huang asked seriously.
"I'm confident with my skills," Yang Ling paused for a moment and said, "Tell me whatever you want. If not, I have something else I need to deal with."
"Emm…"
Lin Huang wanted to get closer to him since both of them were travelers from Earth. He wanted to know more about his travels. However, it was apparent that he had something more "important" to deal with so Lin Huang had to immediately tell him the purpose of the call.
"I actually wanted to ask, could you replicate an Emperor's Heart Ring? For example, my Emperor's Heart Ring can't be used for some complicated reasons and I need to replicate a new one with similar personal information but…"
Yang Ling interrupted before Lin Huang could finish his sentence, "Alright, I get it. You're looking for a Parallel Space Ring."
"Are you sure that's what I want? I haven't finished saying what I needed," Lin Huang was not sure if he understood what he meant.
"Alright, stop talking. I don't know which organization are you going to leave and I'm really not interested. You're looking for a new Emperor's Heart Ring that does not contain any information about the organization, except your own identity," Yang Ling concluded. What he said was exactly what Lin Huang was asking for.
"Yes, that's the one," Lin Huang nodded his head.
"I can do it for you. However, two prices are available for this ring - 100 Life Crystal and 200 Life Crystal," Yang Ling said.
"What's the difference?" Lin Huang frowned and asked.
"The ring that costs 100 Life Crystal contains only your personal information. However, you will lose the information registered at the Credit Bureau, Hunter Association, and other organizations. Also, you can no longer withdraw your credit points from your savings account at the Credit Bureau. Regarding the registration information, it will not be troublesome to register again at some of the organizations. However, if the organization is strict in verifying and examining the applicant's information, they will debug their database and remove the original information. This will cause your original information to be modified. At the same time, it might notify other registered organizations regarding the change of information."
"For the ring that costs 200 Life Crystal, I will completely replicate the Emperor's Heart Ring and remove the information that you do not want completely. All of your registered information will still be there and you can withdraw your credit points from your savings account. If you have large amounts of savings, I would recommend you to take this option," Yang Ling explained the details.
"Alright, I will take the one that costs 200 Life Crystal then," Lin Huang decided quickly. If he were to choose the former, he had to register at the Hunter Association again before attending the Regular Hunter Assessment. This might notify the Purple Crows.
"You only need to make a copy of your personal information and send me the information via an encrypted email," he said, and before Yang Ling finished his sentence, he added, "You should know that I will only accept Life Crystal. Don't convert it to credit points when you make your payment."
"I know. Don't worry," Lin Huang nodded his head.
"Send me your information now and I'll do it for you tonight. I'll send it to you right after I'm done. Since you are a regular customer, you won't need to pay for the postage," Yang Ling said.
"Please delete my personal information after you're done," Lin Huang reminded him before sending out the email.
"Don't worry. I have been doing this for years and I have never disclosed any of my customer's information. I will make sure that the information is permanently deleted without leaving any traces. I assure confidentiality with the hopes that I will have more returning business from all my customers," Yang Ling said to comfort his doubts.
"Alright," Lin Huang said and then sent him a copy of his personal information via the encrypted email.
After a moment, Yang Ling's voice was heard from the communication device again. "Which information do you wish to remove?"
"The information about the Purple Crows," he said, referring to the complete set of information that had been sent to Yang Ling. There was nothing Lin Huang could hide.
Yang Ling kept quiet for a moment and said, "Alright, I can do it for you. However, I have to remind you that the Purple Crow is not a simple organization. It will be better if you could destroy the original Emperor's Heart Ring at a place that you are unfamiliar with."
"Can't I keep it in my storage space?" Lin Huang asked.
"Even if you kept it in the storage space, they can still track your location through certain methods," Yang Ling explained.
Lin Huang broke out in cold sweat as he heard this. He kept his Emperor's Heart Ring in his storage space all the time and he thought his whereabouts could not be tracked. However, he was now sure that his location could in fact, still be tracked.
"Anyway... They won't track you if you are not an important person. I just wanted to remind you so that you are aware of it. Don't be too worried," Yang Ling added as he seemed to know that Lin Huang was worried about it.
"I know. I'll settle it soon," Lin Huang said. He was not going to keep the Emperor's Heart Ring with him after what Yang Ling had said.
"Oh yeah, is the delivery address the same as the address provided with your information?" Yang Ling asked.
"Yes," Lin Huang said and nodded his head.
"I will send it to you at that address then. Are you in a hurry? If you could wait for two to three months, I will choose a cheaper postage method and save some money," Yang Ling asked.
"I need it by December. I can actually pay for the postage, no worries," Lin Huang did not know that Yang Ling wanted to save some money. He needed it by then.
"It's fine. I said postage was included. Since you are in a hurry, I will use the fastest method. You will receive it within a week," Yang Ling said as he insisted on paying the postage fee.
"Thank you then," Lin Huang replied and smiled.
"As a final reminder, you should move from your location as soon as possible. Although I don't know how you escaped from the Purple Crows, your address has been disclosed. If they find out you're still alive, your family members will be in danger," Yang Ling warned before hanging up.
