DECISIONS

*in a particular restaurant*

"Head Chef!"

*runs toward a man donned with white chef uniform*

"Oh?"

"The mission we posted yesterday has been completed, we got the goods now!"

"So fast!?"

"Yes!"

"Hmm… is it the same as the previous one? Were they all shot in the head too?"

"Yes!"

"Hmm… I see… Then… We really need to personally contract that hunter! But the cost…"

"Head Chef! If it really is costly, we must contract that guy again! The profit versus the cost we could gain on these meats is tremendous in gaining a new face in the culinary world!"

"I know. It's just the cost getting the personal contact of this hunter through the hunter organization would cost us 100k credits. And it's not even assured that this hunter will hunt these kinds of animals for more times."

"But Head Chef! The location he's in could be a paradise for businesses like us! We could trade the coordinates for credits and we can hunt it ourselves."

"That could be an option but we're not sure if the location is viable for travel, he could be on a faraway planet. You must know that these kinds of animals are already low in numbers in the known empires and galaxies. Finding these animals are like finding a needle in a haystack."

"So, what do we do Head Chef?"

"Let me think… we still have time."

…

*in a particular laboratory*

"Doctor Flinch! The bodies have arrived! We also got the rare flower mission done!"

"Good. Let's see."

*walks out of the room*

*10 minutes passed*

"Doctor, these are the bodies."

*looked at the dead rodent-type animal*

"Hmm… these are…"

"Yes Doctor, these are the extinct rodent-type aliens recorded within our database. I couldn't believe that these animals are still living somewhere in a random galaxy!"

"Yes. These are indeed those extinct rodent-type aliens. I wonder where would that hunter be to be able to hunt these alien species. Now, let's look at the rare flower we got."

"This way Doctor."

*walks toward a certain large transparent tube*

"Here."

*flower floating inside the transparent tube*

"This is?"

"Doctor, this flower is also one of the extinct plants in the universe. The chrysanthemum-type plant. Nowhere in the whole universe produces flowers like this one anymore."

"Hmm… these rare things, popping up out of nowhere, would it be possible that these two missions were done by the same hunter?"

"That could be possible, Doctor."

"If so, let's get that hunter's contact from the hunter organization."

"But… the cost…"

"No matter the cost. We must get the coordinates of that planet or, at least, get this hunter's contacts so we can continue transacting with this guy."

"Got it, Doctor!"

*exits the laboratory*

"I wonder what other things we could find on that guy's location?"

*smirks*

…

*Inside the hunter organization's VR branch*

*toot*

Two missions in one day?

Is this guy for real?

We must have him at all costs.

*toot*

*looked at the message notifications in the Uverse device hologram*

Hmm?

*opened the message notifications*

*read*

These guys…

It appears Max has gotten the attention of these two clients huh?

Willing to pay an absurd price just to get his contact?

That person really had a great perception of things, he really made the right guess and decision.

This Max will really elevate our organization.

Well… it's today that I'd be hearing his decision so…

*Riki smirks*

*sat in his chair*

*turned the chair towards his large open window*

*looked at the VR city lights*

…

*back in MC's spaceship*

Ah… time to chill for a moment. I finished two missions today.

Now, time to decide if I'll accept their offer.

What do you think?

[TWO SCENARIOS HOST]

Oh? What are they?

[ONCE YOU ACCEPT, YOU WILL GET THE REWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS, AND YOU'LL GET THE SUPPORT OF THE LEGEND TIER OF THE ORGANIZATION. HOWEVER, YOU'LL ALSO INVITE JEALOUSY WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF THE ORGANIZATION. YOU'LL BE THE CONSTANT TARGET OF THOSE WHO WANTS TO CHALLENGE YOUR STATUS AND THOSE WHO WANT YOUR HEAD FOR MONEY AND FAME]

[ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU REFUSE, YOU'LL NEVER GET THE REWARDS OFFERED, THE ORGANIZATION WILL ALWAYS BE ON GUARD WITH YOU WHENEVER YOU TRANSACT WITH THEM, YOU WILL STILL RETAIN ANIMOSITY FROM THOSE ARE JEALOUS OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND MAY INVITE OFFERS FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHERE WHICH IF YOU REFUSE TOO, WILL INCUR THEIR WRATH AS WELL]

The fuck? So, either way, I'm going to be fucked hard?

[BASICALLY, HOST]

What the fuck kind of scenario I'm in?

Well? No matter. Even when I gained fame in the mixed martial arts community, I've been challenged multiple times and won them hard so… this situation right now is almost the same, just a much higher level compared to Earth.

Time to get new missions and deal with the Hunter Organization.

…

*back to his bed*

*laid*

*opens Uverse HOLO App*

*taps the "UVERSE VR PLANET" option in the Holo App*

"Initiate VR Planet?" *Holo App*

Yes.

"VR Transfer Starting…"

*closes eyes*

*Shhhhhhhhhwwwaaaa~~~*

*Pssssshhhhhhhhh*

*opens eyes*

"Welcome back, Max."

*Wendy smiles*

"Oh, Hi Wendy! How are you doing?"

"Doing good Max, accepting a new mission again?"

"Yeah and also, I have an appointment with Riki, can you tell him I'll go meet him after I accepted a mission?"

"Yes, I'll do that, I'll wait for you here and guide you there."

*Wendy smiles*

"Okay, later."

*waves to Wendy*

*walks toward one of the mission center cubicles*

…

*tiiiiiiit*

*doors open*

*Mc entered*

*doors closed*

"Welcome to the Mission Center!"

"Please put your Uverse device here."

*virtual arrow appears*

*Mc puts his wrist, with the Uverse device, on top of the scanner*

*tiiiiiiiiiit*

"Scanning complete. Welcome to Mission Center, Mr. Max!"

*tooooot*

*Screen activates*

*shows Bronze tier mission list*

*toooot*

*door opens*

*MC Exits*

…

*10 minutes passed*

"Welcome back, Mr. Max."

"Yeah, gotta tell you now my decision."

"Well? That I'd be grateful to know. Wendy?"

*gestures to Wendy to leave the room*

"Yes, Master Riki."

*Wendy exits the room*

"So, Mr. Max, please take a sit."

"Thanks."

*sat on the sofa*

"And, I'd be forward, what's your decision?"

"After juggling the situation I'm in right now? I'll accept it."

"Oh!? That's a wonderful decision! Mr. Max, please accept the contract and sign it."

"Okay, where?"

"Oh? I've just sent it through your Uverse device."

"?"

*toot*

*looked at the message notification in Uverse device hologram*

*opened the message notification*

*read*

Hey, any disadvantageous in my contract?

[SYSTEM HAS SCANNED THE DETAILS OF YOUR CONTRACT AND NOTHING DISADVANTAGEOUS WAS FOUND, ALL WERE THE SAME AS WHAT WAS TOLD TO YOU BEFORE, HOST]

Good.

"Hmm…"

*pretended to read the contract*

*10 minutes passed*

"Good."

"Aha~ I'm glad you liked the details we input to the contract, please."

*gesture to sign the contract*

How do I sign this contract?

[HOST CAN JUST TAP THE "ACCEPT" OPTION]

Oh, I thought I'd physically sign it.

*taps accept*

"CONTRACT ACCEPTED"

"Ohhh~~~ Thank you for accepting our offer, Mr. Max. Now, we'll prepare our conference to introduce you later to our community and the whole universe."

"Okay, how will that go, though?"

"We'll do it here; we'll just prepare the setup in just 10 minutes and call out our trusted reporters and media companies to get the news out there."

Aha, just like on Earth huh?

"Alright, then, I'll wait."

"Good. For the reward, we'll send it after the conference."

"That's fine."

"Oh, and one more thing."

"Huh?"

"There are two clients who wished to have your direct contacts. Will you allow for us to send it to them?"

"What's the issue?"

"No, there's no issue, but they are willing to pay the organization's price for our hunter's direct contact for 100k credits each, I believe they are the ones who you completed some missions with, and I high suspect they want your location and details of the planet you're in right now."

"Don't worry, we have high confidence in the secrecy and privacy of our system for our hunters, so, you can decide if you accept the offer. And lastly, if you accepted, you'll receive 70k credits each from those two clients. The Hunter Organization will only take 30% fee for each client's offer."

70k credits!?

What the fuck!

That's 140k credits!

How many things could I buy from these credits!?

Wait, I wanted a female companion as a sex slave, how much would that cost?

I must go to the business center floor to know about the slave trade cost in this universe.

"Hmm… that's a tempting offer."

"Yes."

"Well… there's no harm giving them my contacts, I agree then."

"As you wish."

*10 seconds passed*

*TING*

*uverse holo app hologram appeared with message notification*

"YOU RECEIVED 140,000 CREDITS"

So fast?

"That's rather fast."

"We do things straightforward here so, we sent them your contacts and you receive the fees they paid beforehand."

"Well then, I'm glad to do business with you."

"Same here."

*riki and MC smirked to each other*

*handshakes*
