Even if they have money, they cannot use their private funds to do public work...
Well, it's mainly for the sake of separating public and private matters.
So, where do these expensive nuns come from?
Naturally, the money comes from the sheep.
For the sake of Ambrossa's development, Chrollo adopted the attitude of "selling off one's father's land without a care" and "spending other people's money without a second thought."
They directly withdrew a large sum of money from the original treasury of the "Ten Elders" Salvatore Maras.
That Torsmaras, of course, didn't dare utter a single word.
Even so, all of that was the entire fortune that his own uncle had painstakingly accumulated over most of his life.
It even included some of the money he had earned.
It can be said that it was the life savings of the uncle and nephew.
But now, it's all been for the benefit of others.
They squander their money without a second thought.
Even if Torsmaras had some thoughts, he didn't dare to voice them.
However, this was completely unacceptable to Machi, who regarded all this money as her private property.
She expressed great dissatisfaction with this, but it was to no avail.
Neither Kuroro nor Mog accepted her objections.
So he could only sit there, brooding alone.
Fortunately, there was the wonderful prospect of making money described by Mog and Kuroro.
Selling computer parts to computer malls all over the world sounds like a very lucrative business.
Machi also forced herself to stay, intending to observe how things would develop and progress.
If 3.6 really can make a lot of money, it wouldn't be too late for her to get a share too.
Thus, she settled down for a short time.
This contrasts sharply with Feitan, who is quietly reading, and Franklin, who is chatting with the Peeling-Off.
Mog didn't pay much attention to it, just chatted briefly with Kuroro about future developments, and then hung up the phone.
There is one thing that Kuroro was right about.
That is, this action has indeed resulted in a win-win situation for all parties involved.
Not just Kuroro, Ambrossa, the mafia, and Meteor City.
In this cyberspace, Mog also gained Iksumbe's gratitude and more access to the online world.
It can be said that everyone has a bright future.
This statement is absolutely true.
"Everything is steadily improving, the times are developing, and we are also making progress."
Mog expressed his reflections on life after coming into this world.
A chance to relive the 1980s, even if it's just in a fantastical Hunter world.
It was a very rare experience for him too!
Chapter 178: Two Major Events in 1987 – The Birth of the Protagonist and the Murder Game~~~
Everyone in this world, at this time and in this era, is doing what they want to do.
Time flew by unnoticed.
In the blink of an eye, time passed quietly, and at a speed that was imperceptible, as if the accelerator had been pressed.
The whole of 1987 passed even faster than most people imagined.
Throughout the year, two major news events occurred that could be considered world-shaking.
One is the release of the game "Greed Island" developed by King Freecss.
Whether it's the price of 5.8 billion jini or the groundbreaking way of personally participating in the game.
The rewards for completing the game and taking away in-game items and prizes are what make it so appealing to countless people.
Greed Island was snapped up as soon as it was released, by many buyers who already knew about it.
The first half of the year was almost entirely dominated by the gaming storm stirred up by Greed Island.
Thanks to the popularity of Greed Island, countless people have seen the potential behind this type of game.
Games like Greed Island have their own consoles, but other games rely on the internet.
The momentum it generates might not be any less than that of Greed Island.
In particular, there are many discussions about this topic on some hunter websites and in dedicated chat forums.
Therefore, the influence of the internet's fermentation and growth has also come into the view of many bigwigs.
This has indirectly boosted the development and sales of some computer industries.
Among these, computer parts manufacturing factories in the city of Ambrossa have quietly taken advantage of the situation and risen to prominence.
Taking advantage of the dividends of the times, there are always some unknown forces that are gradually growing stronger.
Therefore, this leads to the second big news story.
The notorious Kurdish criminal syndicate, which was infamous worldwide, has been dismantled.
The person who brought them down was a new hunter who joined the Hunter Association this year and passed the Hunter Test.
As one of the world's top S-class criminals, the "Kurd Thief" has truly earned a notorious reputation over the years.
The crimes they committed are too numerous to recount.
It wasn't that there was too much murder and arson, but rather that many precious and rare historical sites and unique artifacts were damaged.
Yes, under the influence of the [Seven Emotions and Six Desires Stone], Kud has done quite a few things like that.
It was incredibly heartbreaking; she cursed him with resentment.
Now that they've been captured, countless people are applauding and cheering.
However, if it were any skilled professional hunter, even one with a certain prestige and reputation...
For example, there's Porter White, a hunter whose strength and reputation are said to be closest to Chairman Netero's.
Or perhaps it's Mo Laowu, this veteran elite hunter.
In that case, it would be acceptable if someone like this were to capture the "Kude Bandits" and their group.
When a powerful figure takes action and brings criminals to justice, it aligns with the psychological expectations of the vast majority of people.
But if a newcomer who has just joined the Hunter Association has already committed such a major act...
It certainly attracted a lot of attention and eyeballs.
It was at this critical juncture that the Hunter Association issued an official announcement.
In recognition of the achievements and contributions of Bounty Hunter Mog to the world, he is hereby awarded a one-star hunter rating as encouragement.
No one had any opinion.
Even the other professional hunters within the association were merely discussing who this newly emerged powerful figure was.
No one would question the achievements Mog has made.
That's an S-class notorious criminal, who has been hunted countless times and even had some skilled professional hunters involved.
They failed to take them down.
On the contrary, this newcomer who had just become a professional hunter made a stunning debut, achieving something that many famous bounty hunters could not.
As a result of this achievement, he was classified as a [Bounty Hunter] and was promoted to a one-star hunter.
To everyone else, there was nothing wrong with it; the other party deserved it.
With such strength and ability, and having successfully accomplished such a feat, one deserves such recognition.
Within the professional hunter community, this is the only way they really believe in it.
No one seemed to have any objections to Mog's ascension to star level.
Especially with Mr. Beanman's deliberate actions and the publicity from Yinda, who had a good relationship with Mog.
This also made other hunters aware of the breeding issues of the two-headed wolf and the hunter's online chat platform.
Mog's influence and involvement are evident in all of these.
It seems that this newly joined professional hunter already possesses considerable strength.
The reason they are considered newcomers is simply because they have only just participated in the Hunter Exam.
He already possessed the qualifications to become a renowned hunter, but he simply hadn't been able to obtain that license.
Thinking about it this way, the other professional hunters felt much more at ease.
There are many hidden talents in this world, and many powerful individuals have not yet revealed themselves.
This newly promoted bounty hunter, Mog, is a typical example of this.
Many professional hunters expressed this sentiment, making it a topic of conversation during their leisure time.
Then, as an aside, I'll complain about the murder mystery game created by Kim Freecss.
Well, after Greed Island was fully released, the first buyers were naturally professional hunters who were not short of funds.
Only they would spend so many gold coins to buy a game.
Outsiders might think this game is an exaggeration.
However, professional hunters who understand Nen abilities are well aware of the truth behind this.
Especially the rewards you can bring back after clearing the level~~~
Kim Freecss even listed out all the props inside, which were so enviable that they made one's eyes water.
Both the Witch's Rejuvenation Elixir and the Archangel's Breath are top-tier treasures.
