The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

Because Bailang pays more attention to detail, his cooking speed is obviously much slower than those "quick-handed" candidates.

Just now, when Bailang was only halfway through cooking, he noticed someone excitedly carrying his roasted whole pig to Menqi and Buhara.

"Not qualified!"

Looking at the half-cooked and charred pig with black hair in front of him, Buhara touched his fat belly, first smiled and grabbed a leg of the pig to eat, and then said the harsh reality with a smile.

It's a joke, he's not really a good person.

If there hadn't been a conflict just now, he might have been able to tolerate it and relax the requirements for the candidates.

But now...

Even if it's not measured by the high standards of a gourmet hunter, there should still be a basic cooking attitude.

Obviously, the cooking of this candidate in front of him lacks any attitude, and is even quite terrible.

Menqi also ate a bite expressionlessly, then silently raised the "not qualified" sign that was ready.

There's nothing to say, if it were in a different situation, she would have already beaten the other person.

"What?! Based on--" When the candidate saw Menqi and Buhara's "not qualified" evaluation, he was stunned, and then quickly tried to argue.

But when his gaze met Menqi's sharp eyes, the words of rebuttal immediately got stuck in his throat.

Forget it, while there's still time, it's better to go catch another one quickly.

Feeling that arguing would likely result in being thrown out of the venue, the candidate could only leave dejectedly.

...

"Not qualified!"

"Not qualified!"

"Qualified!"

"Qualified!"

"..."

As time passed, more and more candidates completed their cooking, forming a line in front of Menqi and Buhara.

Perhaps Buhara raised the standards, or perhaps Menqi's mood eased after venting earlier, or perhaps Hisoka found Bailang as a target and no longer emitted a suppressed aura towards Menqi.

In any case, although most of the candidates still received "not qualified," there were also many who successfully received "qualified."

It's not that the candidates who received "qualified" made particularly delicious dishes that both gourmet hunters approved of, but rather that they were just better than the terrible ones.

The candidates who received "not qualified" were similar to the first candidate, not only lacking in cooking skills but also having a bad attitude.

The candidates who received "qualified" had poor cooking skills but at least had a decent attitude, meaning they were serious about cooking but limited by their technical abilities.

If everyone had failed, it would naturally easily provoke the candidates' anger.

But when some of the candidates received "qualified," the situation became more acceptable.

And the candidates were not lacking in intelligence.

Through observation, many people gradually understood the requirements of the two examiners for a qualified dish.

"Please taste it. Although the taste is not great, this is a dish I made with all my heart."

Bailang also finished cooking and finally had his turn after waiting for a while.

He placed the neatly arranged skewers on the table in front of Menqi and Buhara, smiling at the two of them.

His cooking method is not particularly outstanding compared to the previous candidates, and it can even be said to be very simple, but it has the most cooking appearance in terms of fragrance.

Not to mention Menqi, Buhara's sensory perception of Bailang is very good.

After all, Bailang was the first to stand up and support the two of them when the candidates were mocking gourmet hunters.

"The taste is great, congratulations on passing!" Buhara picked up a skewer of grilled meat and quickly showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Menqi also took a skewer and tasted it. She looked at Bailang with interest and said, "It's really good. I passed too... By the way, are you interested in becoming a Gourmet Hunter? I feel like you have the potential for it!"

Pengsi, who was standing behind Bailang, frowned and glared at Menqi.

"You jerk, talking about potential. I can't even be bothered to expose you. You're just treating Bailang as food...."

"Forget about becoming a Gourmet Hunter, I can eat, but I'm far from being able to cook!" Bailang waved his hand.

But then, he also looked at Menqi with interest and said, "Of course, I'm planning to form a team in the future, and I really hope to have outstanding Gourmet Hunters like you join."

Menqi was taken aback.

What is this? An invitation turned into a counter-invitation.

But as she looked at Bailang's handsome face, she couldn't help but feel tempted.

"It's not impossible to consider, but let's wait until you get your Hunter license first!" Menqi said after thinking for a moment.

Having a team was not uncommon.

Leaving aside the temptation of beauty, the role of a team was unquestionable.

There may be versatile individuals, but they were definitely rare. So, to make up for their own shortcomings, it was normal to recruit others and form a team.

If she wanted to capture powerful ingredients, if she found that she couldn't do it alone, she would also look for help.

So, if Bailang could really gather an excellent team, she wouldn't mind joining.

"Then it's settled!" Seeing that the other party was really interested, Bailang's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

He did plan to form a team in the future.

After all, he was quite interested in the Dark Continent.

And to go to the Dark Continent, a well-rounded team was indispensable.

"Hey, I'm full, I'm full!"

"I'm almost full too, so this test is over!"

After a long time of tasting, finally, with Buhara and Menqi both full, the second test also came to an end.

"Everyone, after a fierce competition, I, as the examiner of the second test, announce that there are 37 people who have passed this test, and the rest have been eliminated!"

Menqi stood up unsteadily, clapped her hands, and signaled all the candidates to look over before announcing the results.

"Yay!"

"Damn it!"

"Passed smoothly!"

"........"

The successful candidates cheered and celebrated, while the unsuccessful candidates felt disappointed and dejected.

Among the successful candidates were Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and others.

Although their cooking skills were not great, they at least put in effort, so they successfully passed.
