Free things are often the most expensive, and a simple start often means subsequent trouble. Gao Qi has not experienced these, but he knows that when signing a contract for sale, he should at least see the terms clearly.

"Please wait, Mr. Barack, I want to know what obligations I need to bear after becoming a Shadow Hunter, and what responsibilities should I bear, and what power can I have?"

John said seriously: "Since you asked, I'll briefly introduce it. Your only obligation and greatest responsibility to become a shadow hunter are absolutely not allowed to disclose your mission information to the outside world. Simply put, most of the tasks we secretly publish are top secrets, and the consequences of leaks will be serious."

"This is fair, is there any?"

"No more, there is only this requirement, and then the right you can enjoy is that when you perform your mission, the Bounty Hunter Guild must provide you with the help you can. Of course, everything has a prerequisite, that is, payment."

Gao Qi said puzzledly: "Pay?"

"Of course you have to pay. The Bounty Hunter Guild is not a charity organization. We are more like collaborators than superiors and subordinates. This means that the guild lacks binding force on you and you cannot get the guild's unpaid help."

"So how to settle the bounty?"

"The customer needs to publish the task through the guild. After the bounty hunter takes over the task, the publisher needs to deliver the entire bounty to the guild. After the bounty hunter completes the task, the guild pays the bounty to the bounty hunter in one go. You can choose to collect the gold, or you can choose to store it in your name and then take it out at any time."

Gao Qi thought for a while and smiled, "It's very similar to the third-party payment before the disaster."

"It's the same. The Bounty Hunter Guild is an information release platform and a third-party payment platform, that's all."

After saying that, John raised a finger and said, "The only bond between us and the guild is money, to be precise, gold, because now only gold can be used as a general currency. The guild deducts at least twenty percent of the bounty from your mission, and at most fifty percent of the charges."

Gao Qi took a breath and said, "Fifty percent? How high is the commission?"

"It's not high. Twenty percent is the basic charge. Fifty percent is the guild provides a lot of additional services, such as transportation costs. You know that the safest and fastest mode of transportation is the spacecraft, but the number of spacecraft is very small and the transportation costs are very expensive. In addition, the guild can provide weapons, medical assistance, and provide aftermath and funeral matters. All charges will be made clear and you won't charge you more."

Gao Qi couldn't help but say, "Funeral matters?"

"Of course, an extra charge."

"I mean the guild is still in charge of collecting the body?"

John smiled and nodded, "Yes, again, there is an additional fee, usually an advance fee."

Gao exhaled and said, "What should I do if I use the guild service and fail to complete the task in the end?"

“Guilies usually don’t charge dead people.”

After being silent for a while, Gao Qi said helplessly: "I mean, what should I do if I took a task but I don't have the money to pay the transportation fee in advance?"

John smiled and said, "Generally speaking, guilds only publish tasks to people who have the ability to complete them. That is to say, as long as you can receive the mission information, it means that the guild is willing to take risks. The guild can send you to the place you want to go first and then deduct it from your bounty after your mission is completed. Well, many bounty hunters have poor financial conditions, so this is very common."

"But I used the guild's service, but the task was not completed and I was not dead yet, or I gave up the task. What should I do if I did this situation?"

"Of course there are also situations. When you encounter this situation, you only need to pay the money to the guild by yourself."

“Is there any punishment?”

"There is no punishment, but if the bounty hunter does not have enough money to pay the guild's service fee, then the problem is more serious. The usual solution is that the bounty hunter uses the next mission bounty to pay the service fee owed to the guild."

Gao Qi sighed and said, "It sounds fair, it's quite humane."

John said with a serious expression: "I personally strongly recommend that you not have this situation. It is a very strong and sincere suggestion, because when you owe the guild money, you need to pay a little freedom, that is, you are restricted from freedom until the guild is paid off."

Gao Qi frowned and said, "This is not so human."

John said apologetically: "Yes, but because there are too many escape orders, the guild has no choice but to use this method to ensure that the guild's interests will not be damaged."

He exhaled and Gao Qi said relaxedly: "No problem."

John nodded slightly and said, "Very good, let's complete the procedures."

"No, I refuse. I thought about it and still won't become a Shadow Hunter."

John was stunned. He looked at Gao Qi in surprise and said, "Why?"

"Because I think the risk is too great. Do you think I am rich now? Obviously I don't have money, so I can't afford any fees. So if I take the task but fail to complete it, I will either die or become a slave to the guild. It sounds nice to say that the bounty of the next mission is deducted, but if the guild assigns me a mortal task, can I not take it?"

After asking back, Gao Qi spread his hands and said, "So this rule seems fair, but just think about it carefully and you will know that the risk is very high, and all the risks are passed on to me. If that's the case, why should I take this risk?"

John frowned and said, "But you have the freedom to not take on tasks. If you feel that you cannot complete it and are not sure, then don't take on tasks."

Gao Qi curled his lips and said, "Forget it, first of all, the information level between me and the guild is not equal. I only look at the simple task requirements and introduction. How can I know the whole situation? If a task seems to be very simple, it is actually very difficult? I regretted that I have to pay, but I have to pay if I fail. I don't have to pay if I die, but I don't want to die."

John seemed a little embarrassed, and then he looked at Gao Qi with a very complicated look.

Gao Qi picked up the coffee and took a sip. After drinking it, he remembered that this was the first time he had drunk coffee in his life.

It was very bitter and very difficult to drink, so I calmly put down my coffee cup again.

Gao Qi was confident because John said that he was a precious talent. Since he was a precious talent, he would have to be treated as a talent, otherwise what John said was empty words or lies.

After thinking about it for a while, John finally said in a deep voice: "My identity is very complicated. I am the boss of the Air Gun Studio. I am the bounty hunter. I am also the headhunter. I am responsible for finding new members with potential and strength for the Bounty Hunter Guild. So, I recruit you where you can get money from the guild. The better you perform, the more money I get."

Gao Qi smiled and said, "I thought you were a senior executive of the guild."

John shook his head, and then he said calmly: "I am not a guild manager. I recruit you only for a business. Since this is a business, then I am willing to take certain risks. If this is the case, I guarantee you the risk of the first mission. If your first mission fails, I will pay the guild for you. Please believe me. If I were not particularly optimistic about your potential, I would never make such a decision."
