Chapter 124 - Let's Go Hunting.

"The Ultimate Dissectors?" Nanga looked at the huge shark weirdly.

"Yeah, the ultimate dissectors". Sebastian replied with a confident smile.

Though his system already confirmed his creation of the hunting team, he still wanted to confirm it with Nanga who was in charge of the hall as that was the only way for it to be legally recognized by other sharks.

"Tosh, Shanks, do you both agree to become members of the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team?" Nanga turned to face the 2 sharks.

Tosh hesitated a bit but Shanks did not, he gave his consent immediately. Feeling Sebastian's gaze on him, Tosh finally smiled sheepishly and agreed.

It was not that he was forced, the thing was that despite his strength relative to other sharks and the fact that he's stayed a part of this shark clan for years, he was still not in any hunting team.

It was not that he hated hunting teams, the thing was that other sharks loathed his blabbering personality. He also thought that Sebastian felt the same way which was why he was surprised at being invited.

Even Tungsten who was the only shark who took him into his hunting team because of their compatibility in terms of magic domain ability kicked him out after just 3 months together.

Despite all these, he just couldn't stop himself or change the way he interacted with other sharks, it was a part of him already. If he didn't talk extensively in a day, then he was sick, he was that simple.

For some reason, just this decision by Sebastian to take him into his hunting team already made his likeability of this shark increase several folds.

After both sharks gave their consent, Nanga no longer hesitated.

"Congratulations to the 3 of you, you are now officially members of the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team. Grow the size of the hunting team to access more exclusive missions available for teams".

With that, Sebastian was done with all the urgent things currently plaguing him. He turned to leave the hall but he was stopped by Tosh.

"Won't you engage in promotion?"

"Huh?"

"To increase the team's size".

"Oh!" Sebastian could only react with that.

Even in his previous world, he was not that exactly outgoing guy so word-of-mouth promotion was strange to him. All he had a passion for in his life was anatomy, precisely dissecting.

He thought for a few seconds before answering. "Don't worry, if others want, they can join, we don't need to promote first. They've already witnessed my strength as the leader of the team, and results is another way to promote".

His logic was that if he could go out for a single hunting session and come back with a large haul, getting adequate shark points for everyone currently in his team, was that not the best promotion ever to attract new members?

Like a sage once said in his previous life; pursue excellence, and success would pursue you. This was exactly the promotion tactic that he wanted to use.

"Let's go hunting".



"Which hunt mission should I prioritize?"

As Sebastian swam out of the cave with his new team members, this dilemma occupied his mind as he tried to decide on the mission to give more priority.

After thinking, he decided on the first mission. Hunting food for the baby sharks in the pen was a mission that was more varied and broader than the others, giving them more chances of completing it.

For the annihilating rivals' mission, he could decide to complete it if he met mutated Cobras outside but he was definitely not invading their clan cave.

No matter how strong he currently was, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could take on a group of Cobras at once which was even more dangerous when a purple tier mutated Cobra may be residing inside. 

For the Goblin Shark mission, it was the same. If he encountered the shark again, he would hunt it down without hesitation but proactively searching for it was stupid as it could be anywhere on the cliff.

The annihilating archenemies mission was the same too. After his first and only encounter with an Orca, he was cautious of those apex predators, and any mission related to them needed to be taken cautiously also.

And it was also related to his monthly system target, so if he had the chance, he would kill them but he was not about to risk his life to go out hunting them.

Perhaps, in the future, he may decide to do that but not now.

He was carefully shelving most of his ambitions to the side, for now, he would address all of them after his next evolution to officially become a predator Megalodon at the purple tier.

As for Verni, he would add him to the team after the shark finally served his imprisonment punishment sentence.

Like a certain group of sharks in the clan, Verni was originally not part of a hunting team. They preferred joining random groups to go hunting together rather than being tied to one hunting group.

Despite this, Sebastian was confident that he could pull Verni into his group. 

After spending all that time together in the seamount, the respect Verni had for him was not something that could be extinguished by the mere fact of joining a hunting team.

As 24 hours already passed since he last checked his daily system target, it already reset though he could not complete it. Now a new target was there.

[System Daily target: Kill and eat 15 mutated Fire Shrimps - Uncompleted.]

[Target Reward: 50 Adaptation points.]

Removing his eyes from his system notification, Sebastian finally set his sight into the distance. He first observed the territory of the mutated Cobras and not seeing any stray Cobra, he turned his attention away.

As this region was fairly new to him, he didn't have a specific target location in mind so he just decided on a random direction.

"Let's go left".
