[Crime Busters 3] 49/50!
[End Phantom Troupe] 5/12!
This is where these two achievements stand now.
"[Crime Busters 3] The original progress was 45/50. Now I have killed Uvogin and Nobunaga, Steve has killed Franklin, and Alex has killed Feitan, which means four A-level criminals have been added. This corresponds to the achievement progress of [Crime Busters 3].
However, the progress of [Ending the Phantom Troupe] shows five people again. Is it because Shizuku's capture is included, or is it because Eric has also succeeded..."
John pondered in his heart.
If it's the former, that's okay, but if it's the latter, then he has to pay attention.
Because this means that the helpers he found, like Eric, are not counted as part of his own team by the system. They cannot be like Steve, Mia, and Alex, where the criminals killed are included in the [Crime Busters 3] achievement progress.
He is now only one A-level criminal short of completing the achievement [Crime Busters 3]. Naturally, he doesn't mind completing it as soon as possible to see if he can get a reward that will improve his strength again.
Shalnark is a good candidate right now.
If the kills by Eric and Kurapika are not counted in [Crime Busters 3], then he ordered someone to take action.
Buzz buzz.
Just as he was thinking about it, John suddenly felt a vibration coming from his trouser pocket.
His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket.
A multimedia message appeared on the screen, and the sender was marked as Eric.
John opened the MMS message and immediately saw a rather bloody picture.
The background is a street, and there is a dismembered female body lying in a pool of blood on the street.
Just when John saw the picture, his phone vibrated again and a text message was sent.
Eric: The goal has been achieved, please check the picture for confirmation.
"Sure enough, Eric solved Machi." After clicking on the text message and seeing the content, John immediately checked the system again, and then saw that the progress of the two achievements had not changed.
He felt a little helpless.
The female corpse in the picture is none other than Machi from the Phantom Troupe, who was also the target that Eric was responsible for solving.
The achievement progress has not changed, so it is enough to show that the fifth place for the achievement [End Phantom Troupe] is not Shizuku, who was captured, but Machi, who was killed by Eric.
And this also means that John's earlier guess is correct. Eric, the helper he found, is not counted as part of his own team by the system, and the people he kills cannot be counted in [Crime Busters 3] for this achievement.
John typed and sent: Received, the money will be sent to you after the next task is completed.
Eric immediately replied: Okay!
After a brief exchange, John put away his phone and looked at the battle not far away again, specifically at Shalnark.
"Looks like we really need to kill someone!" John muttered to himself.
Although John was not far away, neither Kurapika nor Shalnark paid any attention to him.
Not mentioning Kurapika, Shalnark was focused on Kurapika due to the battle order issued, so before Kurapika was defeated, his consciousness remained in a state of being taken over by Nen.
