Monster Collector's Ultra Journey

Chapter 36: Natsukawamura
"Now the village is overcrowded with tourists, and you're still not satisfied? I'm trying to save the village! Do you know that, you old stubborn old man?"

"This village doesn't need you to save it. If even we forget the past as history, then we are putting the cart before the horse. This village doesn't need you to save it! Go back to your big city!"

Just then, Lin Yang heard a quarrel coming from a house not far away. He glanced at the sign at the door and it seemed to be the village chief's office.

However, Lin Yang had no intention of interfering in other people's family affairs, and this kind of thing was obviously not something he wanted tourists to hear.

In other words, the scenic area and the lake are some distance away from here. Otherwise, if such a conflict broke out internally, many tourists would be scared away.

"In the final analysis, you just can't let go of those lies and will never believe me!" After saying that, the young man with glasses left the office angrily.

As soon as he came out, he saw Lin Yang holding a camera not far away. As one of the few intellectuals in the village, the young man's intuition told him that this person was not simple.

"Welcome to Nazugawa. I'm Mizukami, the son of the village chief. How can I help you?" Mizukami immediately put on a smile and walked up to talk to Lin Yang.

This made Lin Yang, who was about to leave, a little confused, but he couldn't just ignore the other person.

"Hello, recently, the dragons here are very famous. Are there really such wonderful creatures? After introducing himself, Lin Yang started to play dumb again.

"It's hard to say it's strange. After all, in this age, even monsters have appeared. It's not uncommon for some strange creatures to appear." Mizukami smiled.

"There has been a legend circulating in our village that a long time ago, a dragon god lived here. Maybe this is the appearance of the dragon god."

When facing tourists, Shuishang still maintains its carefully planned marketing. This is the advantage of having myths and legends, it is easy to make something of it.

"Really? It's a pretty good legend. However, based on my experience, most legends are not completely groundless." Lin Yang nodded without exposing the other party.

At this time, Shuishang glanced at the camera in Lin Yang's hand, and analyzed the topic that Lin Yang had just talked about, and suddenly thought of the mysterious reporter who has been very famous recently.

"Excuse me, are you taking pictures for KCB?" With a guess in mind, Shuishang asked Lin Yang tentatively.

"Why do you say that?" Lin Yang was a little confused. Did he look so much like the person from that TV station?

"As expected! You are the famous monster photographer! I have heard of you for a long time. It is a great honor for us to have you come to our village."

From Lin Yang's expression, Shui Shang quickly realized that he had guessed correctly, and excitedly shook hands with Lin Yang.

This is a big client. Recently, KCB has emerged as a rising star in the newspaper industry thanks to the monster photos taken by this person, and is now at its peak.

If this plan can fool this person, those photos will be the best advertisement.

"Monster photographer? Well, I'm just an idle person. It just so happens that the things I take pictures of are basically monsters, that's all." Lin Yang was very calm.

He had heard about it from Lina before, and because the angles of the photos he took were too tricky and bold, he even had a lot of first-hand information.

Therefore, many newspapers became interested in him, and in the photography industry, Lin Yang became an urban legend.

No one knows what Lin Yang looks like, and there is no information about him. Lina has protected this very well.

However, Lin Yang doesn’t have any particular need for money or anything like that now, so he has only been cooperating with KCB.

Otherwise, even just relying on the reputation he has gained recently would be enough for many newspapers to hire him at a high price.

"Is this your first time here in Nazugawa? If you don't mind, let me introduce you to our environment." After tidying up his clothes, Mizukami introduced himself.

"Then it'll be hard work."

"No, I just hope you can take a few more photos of our village when the time comes." Shuishang was very polite and seemed to have good experience as a tour guide.

Soon, under Shuishang's arrangement, a sightseeing bus drove over, and under Shuishang's guidance, we toured this village with a long history.

On the way, Shuishang introduced Lin Yang to the village's century-long history, starting from the founding of the village. He talked a lot, but Lin Yang didn't listen much.

After all, these have never been within Lin Yang's interest. The only reason he came here is because of the existence of the monster Xia Zhiwang.

Along the way, Lin Yang just looked at the scenery and responded absentmindedly from time to time. After all, he was just a guest, so how could he not give face to the host.

However, what surprised Lin Yang was that this guy, who seemed to have no feelings for the village, actually knew everything about the village.

No matter whether it was the big or small events that happened in the village in history, or the mythological stories in the village that he had always disdained, he could tell them all with ease.

This actually aroused Lin Yang's interest.

"You seem to know a lot about this village." Lin Yang finally looked at Shui Shang straight in the eye.

"Of course. After all, I grew up in this village." Shuikami felt happy about this and pushed his glasses.

Although he is not a psychologist, Lin Yang can feel that Shuishang is really happy because of this.

"What major did you study in school?" At this time, Lin Yang finally behaved like an amateur reporter and began to ask questions.

Seeing that Lin Yang finally started asking questions, Shui Shang was very excited. After all, he was a well-known reporter recently, and his words were very valuable.

"I'm ashamed to say that what I studied in school was not tourism customs, but mechanical engineering. However, I wanted to contribute to the village, so I taught myself tourism-related subjects."

"Is that so..." Lin Yang nodded. He wondered how Shuishang would feel if he knew that Lin Yang was just asking casually and had no intention of writing any news.

However, Lin Yang's calm reaction made Shuishang look at him with more respect.

As expected of a famous monster reporter, he remained very calm throughout the whole process. However, from the moment you started asking questions, you had already lost. Keep asking questions!
Then, let me use your reputation as a monster reporter to raise the popularity of the village. This way, the village’s income can be raised to a higher level!
Thinking of this, Shui Shang smiled, pushed his glasses, and was about to say something else, but Lin Yang was not interested in what he wanted to do.

"actually, I……"

"It's rare for a top student like you to know the village so well. Generally speaking, the adults in the village would hope that you can make a name for yourself out there."

Why didn't he ask about tourism? Well, as expected of a journalist, his ability to change the subject is first-rate. However, as the leader of the village's tourism industry, he would not lose to a journalist.

"Yes, actually, I have loved the village since I was a child. My father also hopes that I can go out and make a living, but I will never give up the village that raised me."

Mizukami answered this question neither humbly nor arrogantly, but there was no false emotion in his answer, because he really thought so and did so.

It's a pity that his father, as the village chief, did not support his career at all because he wanted to demolish the old shrine.
