Jack made the Hunters Association his first stop after entering the capital. He submitted all his hunting quests, netting 3400 experience points and 43 hunter points. For ten numbers of quests, the experience point reward wasn't much to look at. But when Jack handed over all the trophy items he had in his possession, the girl at the counter gave him 1 gold coin and 60 silver coins. If the guild players know they could collect coins this fast by hunting, they would have done their best to pass their advance class trial in order to be able to join the Hunters Association.

Jack looked into his inventory purse and admired the coins he had. He now had a massive number of 67 gold coins! The guild players would be banging their heads onto the wall if they knew about it. He could establish a formal guild six times with this amount of coins.

"You still have something you can hand over to the association," Peniel said as she floated beside him.

"Oh? What is it?"

"The Monster Settlement Core. That could be considered as a trophy item as well."

"This?" Jack to the core out. He then passed it to the counter, "do you accept this as well?"

The girl's eyes turned wide when she saw the Settlement Core in Jack's hands. "That is a Monster Settlement Core!" She exclaimed. "Certainly! Let me have a look."

She took the core into her hands and examined it. After inspecting it to be a true Monster Settlement Core, she stored it and paid Jack another 5 gold coins. Jack was overjoyed. The coins seemed to just keep coming and coming. He would not need to worry about money for a while.

The counter girl also filled another 80 hunter points onto Jack's hunter badge as an additional reward for the core. Jack's hunter points immediately shot past the 100 points threshold, and he was promoted with Silver grade Hunter Badge.

"As the first Outworlder to become a silver grade hunter, let us bestow you with VIP status," the counter girl said. Since Jack had also gotten the VIP status from Adventurers Association in the same way, he was no longer surprised. He went ahead with the procedure.

When he thought his business was done already, the girl said, "and for being the first Outworlder to vanquish a Monster Settlement, we will bequeath you with a special reward of 1,000 hunter points."

"So much," Jack blurted out, but he gladly gave the counter girl his hunter badge to be filled with these additional points. He now had 1,123 hunter points. To become a gold grade hunter, he would need 10,000 hunter points, so he was still a long way from it. Nevertheless, he was glad to have acquired a large boost of hunter points so early.

"I can also exchange the points for items, right?" He asked.

"Sure. Would you like to view the exchange list?" The girl asked.

"Yes, please."

She opened up the interface that showed the list of items that could be exchanged. Jack browsed the list. Most items were materials, ingredients, with common and uncommon equipment, more or less similar to the list in the Adventurers Association. So Jack just scrolled it briskly to the end of the list where the exclusive exchange items were. Same as in the Adventurers Association, there were four items in the exchange list.

Recipe: Hunting Bow (expert blacksmith grade) – 90 hunter points

Recipe: Nature's Blend (expert alchemist grade) – 90 hunter points

Recipe: Well-done Steak (expert cooking grade) – 90 hunter points

Recipe: One with Nature (expert scroll-making grade) – 100 hunter points

"All are recipes?" Jack said with a little bit of disappointment in his tone. He was more proficient in Blacksmith and Cooking. He obviously won't use the bow, should he exchange for the steak recipe? He was hesitating.

"How about we take a look at the exchange list in the Silver Hunter hall?" Peniel proposed.

Jack thought it was a good idea. After all, he had over one thousand hunter points already. His points might even be sufficient to exchange for one of the exclusive items in Silver Hunter hall. He then thanked the counter girl and hurriedly made his way to the Silver Hunter hall.

When he arrived in the Silver hunter hall, he noticed that the hunting quests posted on the notice boards were mostly for monster level 20 and above, and Peniel advised that the locations of those monsters were a rather long distance away from the Capital. Apparently, he had become a silver grade hunter too early. He might need to go back to the bronze hall again later to pick up hunting quests that were more suitable for him.

Jack went to the counter and showed his Hunter Badge.

"Mister Silver Hunter, what can I do for you today?" The lady at the counter asked politely.

"I would like to take a look at the exchange list, please." Jack said.

"Certainly. Here is the list."

Jack browsed the items on the list. They were definitely better than the ones in the Bronze Hall. Most of the items were uncommon grade. The types of items were mostly the same, ingredients and materials at the half bottom, with equipment at the top half. He also found common gemstones and uncommon gemstones amongst the items on the list. But since he had not touched runecrafting yet, he did not bother with them. He also saw several rare pieces of equipment in the top ten of the list.

He kept on scrolling, he was more interested in the exclusive items on the list. After all, the regular list items would stay in the list forever, he could exchange for them anytime provided he had enough hunter points. But the exclusive list was a different matter. Once someone took the item inside, it would be gone for good. Since he was the first one to become a silver grade hunter, he needed to take advantage of it by gaining the first choice on the items under the exclusive list.

After scrolling all the way, he finally found the exclusive list. There were also only four items in the exclusive list, the same quantity as the ones in Bronze hall.

Greatsword of the Beast (rare two-handed sword) – 1000 hunter points

Swift Tracking Boots (rare boots) – 950 hunter points

Camouflage Tent (rare tool) – 980 hunter points

Technique Book: Dragon's Eye – 1100 hunter points

From the four items, he could use three. He was not interested in the Greatsword as it couldn't be fed to his Storm Breaker. The boots could be a nice replacement for his current equipped boots which were still common grade boots. While the rare Tent was also tempting. He was still using a common grade tent till this time. He could not just ask Peniel to keep watch every time he spent the night in the wilderness, could he?

The fourth item was a Technique Book, Dragon's Eye. Sounded imposing, and it was also the most expensive amongst the four. In fact, all of them were expensive, even with the Hunter points he had now, he could only exchange for one of them. But he thought it made sense, after all, the item quality was another grade compared to the Bronze hall choices.

"Hey, which one should I choose?" Jack asked Peniel who was flying around the hall. Since currently Jack was the only outworlder inside the Hunters Association, she didn't need to hide.

Peniel came by and glanced at the list. "Dragon's Eye will be the obvious choice," she said.

"Oh? Is it that good?" Jack asked.

"Let me put it this way, those other three items, when you reach Elite class, you probably will throw them away. But that Dragon's Eye skill, even Elite classes will fight to their deaths in order to get that skill."

"So good?" Jack was astounded by Peniel's words. He believed her words of course. She was already like a flying and talking encyclopedia to him, everything he did not understand he would simply ask her about it.

"All right then, if you want to spend, might as well spend big. I will take that Dragon's Eye Technique Book!" He said to the counter lady.

The lady processed his request, subtracting his hunter points then handed him back his Hunter Badge together with an ancient-looking leather book. There was an image of a dragon on the book's cover. Its eye was depicted with bright red color.

Technique Book: Dragon's Eye (Super Rare Consumable)

Grant the skill: Dragon's Eye

Restriction: Advanced class

A super rare grade! No wonder Peniel said it was the best compared to the other. Fortunately, its restriction was only for advanced class. It did not force him to choose a certain class. He still had that Body Double book that required him to choose Mage advanced class. If this skill required him to choose another different class, he would have to let go of one of them.
