Chapter 20 - ENTERING DUNGEONS AGAIN 20

Qing Eena gathered his "brothers and sisters" in the living room of his parents' house. He looked at each of them and spoke in a serious tone.

"I have an important announcement to make," he said. "As you know, I have been going on monthly missions to the dungeons. It is a dangerous task, but it is necessary to keep our territory safe. I have decided to take Trey with me this time as my long-range support."

Juan, Frye, Toon, and Fau looked at each other with concern. They knew that going to the dungeons was not an easy feat, and the idea of Trey joining Qing on his mission made them worry even more.

"But don't worry," Qing continued. "I have made a special weapon for Trey to use - a Sniper Rifle that uses Mana Infused Bullets. It has armor-piercing and exploding rounds that will help us in battle."

Trey's eyes widened with excitement. He had always admired Qing's weapons, and the idea of using one himself made him feel proud.

"But before we can go on the mission, Trey needs to be registered as a Paid Rank Hunter," Qing added. "It's a simple process - he just needs to pay a fee and take a test to verify his rank. Once he passes, he can legally enter dungeons with me."

Juan raised his hand. "Qing, can you explain more about this Paid Rank Hunter thing?"

Qing nodded. "Of course. Paid Rank Hunters are individuals who are registered with the Hunters Association. They have a specific rank based on their strength and skills, and they are authorized to enter dungeons and hunt monsters. It's a good way to earn money and gain experience. Plus, it's important for us to have more registered hunters in our territory to help protect it."

Frye spoke up. "What about us? Can we become Paid Rank Hunters too?"

Qing smiled. "Yes, you can. Whenever your schedule rotates, I will register all five of you so that you can become Rank Hunters like me. It's a good way to train and improve your skills."

Toon and Fau looked at each other, both feeling a bit overwhelmed with the idea of going to the dungeons. But they knew that they needed to step up and contribute to their group's efforts in protecting their territory.

Qing then reminded all of them to take care of his parents, their house, and their territory while he and Trey were away. He emphasized the importance of their daily schedule, which includes maintaining the fish stall, studying, and training.

"We are a family, and we need to take care of each other," Qing said. "Don't forget that."

The group nodded in agreement, and Qing stood up.

"Well then, let's get started with Trey's registration process. We have a lot of work to do."

As they left the house, the five "brothers and sisters" couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and responsibility. They knew that they had a big task ahead of them, but with Qing's guidance and support, they were ready to face any challenge that came their way.

In the world of dungeon hunting, the Paid Rank Hunter System was a controversial topic among the Hunter community. Many believed that it went against the fundamental principles of what it means to be a Hunter. But for Qing Eena and his "siblings," it was an opportunity they couldn't pass up.

Qing Eena had always been a firm believer in the importance of skill and dedication in becoming a Hunter. He had spent years in Hunter School, honing his abilities and studying the intricacies of dungeon hunting. But when he discovered the Paid Rank Hunter System, he saw it as a way to give his "siblings" a shortcut to becoming Rank Hunters like him.

"It's not about taking shortcuts," Qing Eena defended himself when Trey questioned the ethics of the system. "It's about giving everyone an equal chance to become a Hunter, regardless of their background or financial status. If they have the skill, they can become a Rank Hunter just like anyone else."

Trey still wasn't convinced, but Qing Eena's conviction was strong enough that he went ahead and registered him as a Paid Rank Hunter. Qing Eena explained that the system was created to help support the government's efforts to control dungeon exploration and prevent dangerous and unqualified individuals from entering.

"Anyone can become a Hunter," Qing Eena continued. "But not everyone has the dedication and skill to become a Rank Hunter. The Paid Rank Hunter System ensures that those who do have the ability are given the chance to prove themselves, regardless of whether or not they had the opportunity to attend Hunter School."

Despite Qing Eena's reasoning, there were still many who opposed the Paid Rank Hunter System. Some believed that it cheapened the title of Rank Hunter and made it more about money than skill. But for Qing Eena and his "siblings," it was an opportunity to level the playing field and help them achieve their goals.

As they embarked on their first Paid Rank Hunter mission together, Qing Eena reminded Trey of the importance of discipline, preparation, and teamwork. He emphasized that even though he had paid for their Rank, it was their skills and dedication that would make them true Hunters.

"We have a responsibility to the government and the people to be the best Hunters we can be," Qing Eena said. "We can't take this opportunity for granted. We have to work hard and prove that we deserve to be here."

And with that, they entered the dungeon, determined to prove themselves as worthy Paid Rank Hunters.

Qing Eena and Trey arrived at the entrance of the Rank F Dungeon~Graveyard Setting, armed with their weapons and ready to hunt. The entrance was shrouded in an eerie mist, which made the surroundings look gloomier than usual. Qing led the way with Trey following closely behind, his sniper rifle slung over his shoulder.

Qing turned to Trey and said, "Remember, we are here to grind for items and experience. We need to work together to make the most out of our time here."

Trey nodded, adjusting his grip on his sniper rifle. "I know, Qing. I'll follow your lead."

They stepped inside the dungeon, and the first thing they noticed was the smell of decay. The walls were lined with cobwebs, and the floor was littered with bones. As they made their way through the dungeon, they encountered various undead creatures.

Qing led the way, charging into battle with his sword. Trey provided support from afar with his sniper rifle, taking out enemies from a distance. Their synergy was perfect, with Qing drawing the attention of enemies and Trey dealing the damage from afar.

As they progressed deeper into the dungeon, the enemies became tougher. They encountered necromancers, liches, and other powerful undead creatures. Qing and Trey worked together seamlessly, with Qing taking the brunt of the attacks and Trey picking off enemies from a distance.

Their teamwork was put to the test when they encountered a powerful enemy, a lich with a horde of undead minions. Qing charged forward, engaging the lich in close combat. Trey positioned himself on a high platform, providing cover fire.

The lich was powerful, but Qing was able to hold his ground. He managed to land a few hits on the lich, but it was Trey who dealt the finishing blow. He fired a shot at the lich's head, causing it to explode in a shower of sparks and bone fragments.

Qing and Trey continued to grind their way through the dungeon, encountering various enemies along the way. They fought bravely, their synergy allowing them to overcome even the toughest of foes. They collected items and experience points, growing stronger with each battle.

As they reached the end of the dungeon, Qing turned to Trey and said, "Well done, my friend. Your skill with the sniper rifle is truly impressive."

Trey grinned. "Thanks, Qing. I couldn't have done it without you."

Qing chuckled. "We make a good team, don't we?"

Trey nodded. "Definitely. I'm looking forward to our next dungeon run."

And with that, they exited the dungeon, their mission complete. Qing and Trey walked back to their home, discussing their strategy for their next dungeon run. Their synergy was stronger than ever, and they were ready to face whatever monster, beasts and even people that gets in their way.

Qing Eena was pleased with himself for successfully registering all of his "siblings" as Paid Rank Hunters. He knew that they still had a lot to learn and improve, but he was confident that they would eventually become skilled hunters.

He had already reserved a Rank F Dungeon for them to explore and complete their monthly quota missions. This time, it was the F-Rank Dungeon~Horrible Wolves, which was located in a jungle setting in Bohol, northwest of the Bohol Sea of Clouds. Qing had done his research and knew that the dungeon was filled with werewolves and other dangerous beasts, making it the perfect challenge for his team.

However, getting to the dungeon was not an easy task. They would have to travel a great distance, and the government had set up a transport system to teleport them near the entrance for a fee of 1000 Piso per person. Qing had already arranged for the transportation and had paid for everyone, but he made sure to remind his siblings to be careful with their spending and to not waste their money on unnecessary things.

As they arrived at the teleportation area, Qing led them to the entrance of the dungeon. The team was armed and ready for battle, with Juan wielding a shield and hammer axe along with a minigun, Toon using dual daggers and an assault rifle, Trey carrying a sniper rifle and a greatsword, Fau with an auto-shotgun along with a knife/dagger combo, and Frye using a tachi sword along with a grenade launcher and grenades.

Qing made sure to remind them of their roles in the team and how they should work together to successfully complete their missions. He emphasized the importance of communication and strategy, especially in a dangerous and unpredictable environment like a dungeon.

As they entered the dungeon, the team encountered their first group of werewolves. Juan took the lead, using his shield to block the werewolves' attacks while Toon and Trey provided support from a distance with their ranged weapons. Fau and Frye worked together, with Fau taking down the werewolves with her shotgun and Frye finishing them off with his tachi sword.

Qing watched as his team worked together, impressed by their coordination and determination. He could see that they were all eager to prove themselves and show their worth as hunters. He made sure to provide guidance and advice, reminding them to be cautious and to not let their guard down.

As they progressed further into the dungeon, the team encountered stronger and more challenging monsters. But with Qing's leadership and their teamwork, they were able to overcome each obstacle and complete their missions with ease.

After several hours of exploring and battling, the team finally reached the end of the dungeon. Qing congratulated them on their success and reminded them of the importance of maintaining their skills and training.

As they left the dungeon and headed back home, Qing knew that there would be more challenges and adventures waiting for them in the future.
