Train to Another World.

Chapter 50 Whale Island

On the way to the town, Li Zhuoguang casually asked, "Brother Facai, how many children do you have?"

"Eight."

"Is it easy to raise so many children?"

Xiong Facai sighed, "It's just that it's hard to raise too many babies, but there's nothing we can do about it. Some monsters can give birth to many babies in one litter."

Li Zhuoguang then remembered that Xiong Facai’s wife was a pig demon, so it was normal for her to be able to give birth.

After a while, everyone arrived in the town. I wanted to stop passers-by to ask about the time and place, but I saw that everyone on the street was rushing in the same direction.

Some people were walking and talking excitedly. Li Zhuoguang heard someone mention the King of the Swamp. Well, Li Zhuoguang knew where they were. It seemed that the train did not stop at the seaside, but on an island, which was the hometown of the protagonist Jay Freese, Whale Island.

Since the Swamp King is mentioned, it must be that the protagonist fished the Swamp King out. It seems that it is just when the plot begins.

When they arrived at the square, they learned that the Swamp King had been released back into the lake. The spectators who arrived at the same time as Li Zhuoguang shook their heads in disappointment and then dispersed.

Li Zhuoguang was not disappointed, as his original purpose was not to see the Swamp King. After asking a passerby for directions, Li Zhuoguang walked towards the small hotel run by Mitt. When he entered the store, Mitt and Xiaojie had indeed returned.

The old customers in the store were still bragging about Xiaojie's feat of catching the Swamp King. The last person who could catch the Swamp King was Xiaojie's father, and that was more than 20 years ago. Everyone looked very happy, but Xiaojie's aunt looked very unhappy.

Because the Hunter Exam is inherently dangerous, many people die in this exam every year. As for the tasks faced after becoming a Hunter, they are no easier than the Hunter Exam. It can be said that they live on the edge of a knife all year round. Even if they are alive, they mostly travel around the world and it is difficult for them to go home.

For example, Xiaojie's father, Jin Fulishi, has never returned home since he became a hunter, except for the time he brought Xiaojie back to Whale Island. His family doesn't even know whether he is alive or dead. Instead, his student Kate is more thoughtful and will come to see if Jin's family is okay and share Jin's recent situation.

As for Xiaojie, he had only seen what his father looked like in photos since he could remember.

I don’t know what Togashi’s childhood was like, but the father-son relationships in his comics are mostly hard to describe.

Sitting down in the lobby of the small hotel, Li Zhuoguang ordered three beers and a simple meal, then turned to Wang Shuyun and Wei Changfeng and said, "This mission is very dangerous, and you may not survive. So I let you choose whether to stay on this island and wait for us to come back, or to complete the mission with us."

Those who don't work don't eat. Li Zhuoguang had been letting the two hide behind and fish, and to a large extent, let them fend for themselves. Since a time bomb was tied to his body, he has become indifferent to many things and is not so grudgeful. This time he took the initiative to ask them, which is to give them a chance.

Wang Shuyun refused without a second thought: "I am weak and I am afraid that I will be a burden to you all if I go. I'd better wait here. May the chief priest have good fortune in martial arts."

Li Zhuoguang nodded, indicating that he understood, and turned to look at Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng gritted his teeth, his mind racing. As the son of a county governor, his political sense was much stronger than Wang Shuyun's.

He saw everything that happened between Li Zhuoguang and the small group of Xiong Facai and Qin Daniu. Every time he completed a task, Li Zhuoguang was not satisfied with just completing the task, he would also collect many rare treasures.

Before each mission, the people in this small group would share what they had. What they shared were not insignificant things, but resources that could increase their survival rate. In the missions where one mission was too dangerous to survive, the small group that Li Zhuoguang had formed was invaluable.

Wei Changfeng knew that Li Zhuoguang didn't like him before, so he didn't rush to get close to him. Li Zhuoguang just ignored him and didn't retaliate against him, which made him very satisfied.

He also knew the principle that those who do not work shall not eat, so the opportunity given by Li Zhuoguang was a pleasant surprise to him.

But he also heard Li Zhuoguang say that this mission would be life-threatening, which made him hesitate for a while. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to go on the mission with Li Zhuoguang.

Because he suddenly remembered his situation before he was summoned by the Dragon God.

His grandfather was also a commoner when he was young. Because he was brave and daring, he always led the charge in conquering foreign tribes. He took the lead in completing tasks that others could not complete, and he took the lead in killing enemies that others could not deal with.

After ten years of fighting, my grandfather lost an eye, a hand, and a leg. On rainy days, he could only rely on strong liquor to get by.

But his Wei family lineage existed in the Great Yan Dynasty, and the genealogy of the Wei family in Shanglin County started from his grandfather.

He is a descendant of the Wei family. Although he is the legitimate son, he ranks fourth. As long as he can remember, he has been a rich and idle person with fine clothes and delicious food, but he has never been willing to give up. Since it is difficult to distinguish between the elders and the younger, he was also prepared to follow his grandfather and seek fame immediately. If he had not been recruited by Lord Dragon God, he should have joined the army through family connections. Since he has decided to join the army, how is the danger of the military different from this? He can seek fame immediately, and there is more to it than just fame. And considering Li Zhuoguang's identity...

Wei Changfeng had already made up his mind. He bowed and said, "Changfeng is willing to hold the whip and stirrup and follow you." Li Zhuoguang nodded and ordered another beer and a light meal.

Looking at Xiaojie who was helping in Mitt's store, Li Zhuoguang waved and called him over.

Xiaojie ran over and said, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with? Hey, what is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Li Zhuoguang saw that Xiaojie was very interested in Huang Shiren standing on his shoulder, so he introduced him, "It's called Huang Shiren, and it's a weasel."

"That's amazing, did it come from outside the island?"

"That's right."

"So where did you come from..."

"Xiao Jie!" Xiao Jie's grandmother called out from the kitchen, interrupting his questions.

Xiaojie scratched his head and realized that he asked too many questions: "Sorry, I'm being rude. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Little brother, I just heard that you are going to take the Hunter Exam."

"Yes!"

"I have some information about the Hunter Exam. Do you want to hear it?"

"Uncle, please tell me."

"What uncle? Call me brother. It's okay to tell you, but you have to know that among hunters, intelligence is also a precious resource. If you want intelligence, you need to exchange it for something of equal value."

Xiaojie frowned: "Brother, I don't have any money."

"Money is not that important to me, you just need to do something for me."

When Xiaojie heard that it was free, he smiled happily: "What's the matter?"

Li Zhuoguang casually took a newspaper from the counter and handed it to Xiaojie: "Read this newspaper to me."

The simple-minded Xiao Jie agreed without thinking too much, and Li Zhuoguang also collected the text information of this world, so he no longer had to be illiterate.

After Xiaojie finished reading, Li Zhuoguang told him that the hunter exam would begin from the moment they boarded the ship.

Xiao Jie asked Li Zhuoguang, "Brother, you know so much about the Hunter Exam, are you a Hunter?"

Li Zhuoguang shook his head and said, "I am also a candidate for this exam."

"Ah? Then, brother, is it really okay for you to tell the information to your competitors?"

Li Zhuoguang waved his hand: "As long as you can pass the hunter exam, you can get a license. The hunter exam has never limited the number of qualified people."

"Brother, you told me another piece of information."

"Then please bring us four more registration forms for the Hunter Exam."

Hearing this, Xiao Jie ran out of the tavern, shouting as he ran: "I'll be back soon!"
