Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 652 Orange can sit at the same table as Azure Star

【The copy has been imported.】

As a wild land full of unknowns, inhabited by countless creatures and growing countless plants, the new continent, which was already full of various mysteries, has once again undergone uncontrollable changes due to some irresistible factors, causing the entire continent's food chain and ecological environment to start running wild in unpredictable directions.

As part of the same ecosystem, the first four Hunter Guild Survey Teams to arrive in the New World were also affected to varying degrees.

You will travel to the New World as elite members of the "Fifth Survey Team" to investigate the recent "Ancient Dragon Crossing" and "Ancient Dragon Catastrophe" phenomena.

[Dungeon Blueprint: Monster Hunter + Soul Sacrifice]

[Instance Description: Single Faction, Multiple Factions - All players belong to the "Hunter's Guild" faction. There are internal factional differences, but overall they are on the side of humanity. Within the guild territory, players are strictly prohibited from killing each other, and no blood chests will drop. Furthermore, player combat will trigger the Hunter's Guild's internal disciplinary mechanism. Depending on the faction chosen, players belonging to different factions may have conflicts regarding quest objectives.]

Ancient Dragon Catastrophe - omitted.

Evil sacrifice - omitted.

The Light of Collaboration – Collaborations between internal and external IPs offer more possibilities for this world, greatly increasing your chances of encountering NPCs and monsters that don't originally belong to this world.

[Dungeon Difficulty: B~?]

Main Quest: "The Walking Calamity" - Team Quest. Investigate and identify the Elder Dragon individual causing the abnormal changes in the surrounding ecological environment, and return the corresponding report to the "Starry Sky" outpost.

Basic reward: 1 gold, 2 free attribute points, and 1 free skill point. This reward will increase depending on the subsequent raid missions that may appear.

Side quests: You can accept quests such as raids, investigations, and captures issued by the guild.

Your additional skill 'Holy Grail Mission' has been triggered.

【Holy Grail Mission: Do Elder Dragons Bleed?】—Team Mission. Attempt to collect materials from species that match the "Elder Dragon" tag. For each species successfully collected, your genetic collection capacity increases by 1, and you and your team members will gain 10% Elder Dragon attack resistance.

"Redemption or Sacrifice? I Want It All!" — Team Quest. Redeem or sacrifice as many elite or higher corrupted dragon units as possible. For each dragon redeemed, your capture material yield increases by 10%; for each dragon sacrificed, your dissection material yield increases by 10%.

【The achievement list is now open, you can check it at any time. 】

As the light faded, Cheng Tian felt a jolt, much like when he was on an airplane.

However, the scene before them was quite different from that on an airplane.

This is a wooden tavern filled with warm colors, where you can see a considerable number of people gathered in twos and threes at different tables, eating, drinking, chatting, and joking around.

About half of the people were dressed in standard hunter outfits from the Monster Hunter universe, but at the same time, quite a few people were wearing equipment from other worlds, just like Cheng Tian, ​​which seemed out of place with their surroundings.

Clearly, these people are the players, and there are more of them than expected, numbering in the dozens.

However, while these seemingly out-of-place pieces of equipment would certainly be jarring in other worlds, they don't seem out of place at all in a world dominated by Monster Hunter. Because of the connection between them, beings that don't belong to this world often wander into their world, and once they come, they inevitably leave traces, most of which remain in the form of equipment.

Monster Hunter is a very inclusive world. Even if you're naked, wearing only your underwear and a wriggling eel helmet, no one will say anything to you... unless you're a complete slacker.

This is the fifth expedition's private airship, currently en route to the New World.

The skill points in Monster Hunter World are a bit off-center. While everyone has maxed out their fall resistance, they mainly travel by balloons and airships. If it weren't for the influence of other flying monsters, they would be quite stable. Feeling the swaying caused by the air currents, Cheng Tian, ​​his Tai Chi True Eyes subtly rotating beneath his mask, calmly scanned the area. At least for now, it seemed that the Fifth Survey Corps NPC hunters in the tavern hadn't been affected by the soul sacrifice system.

Because of his profession as a Mind Priest, Cheng Tian has an extremely high sensitivity to the detection of both holy and evil energies. Once someone becomes involved with the soul sacrifice system, whether they take the path of redemption or the path of sacrifice, they will basically not escape Cheng Tian's perception.

Cheng Tian glanced at the panel casually and did not find the temporary skill "Redemption and Sacrifice".

It seems that this skill can only be obtained by officially setting foot on the new continent.

The other players were basically in a similar style to Cheng Tian. Some kept quiet and observed from the sidelines, while others tried to order a beer and blend into the local hunter community. In short, the player community at this stage had basically passed the "survival of the fittest" phase, and the classic brainless moments were no longer likely to occur.

boom!
A wooden wine glass filled with liquid suddenly crashed down in front of Cheng Tian.

"Here you go! It's my treat!"

A blond-haired young man dressed in full hunter's gear extended a warm invitation to Cheng Tian to have a drink together.

Cheng Tian, ​​who was wearing a mask, paused for a moment, then made a gesture of pointing back at himself.

Me? .jpg
Although somewhat puzzled, Cheng Tian still took the wine glass and began to sip.

Then Cheng Tian began to regret his actions, because after Huang Mao succeeded, many hunters surrounded him and enthusiastically tried to get Cheng Tian drunk.

Several players who witnessed this scene quietly approached the other NPC hunters and asked in hushed tones.

"Is there anything special about that person?"

"do not you know?"

The question left the NPC hunter looking on incredulous, and he began to give a detailed explanation, spitting as he spoke.

"This is the famous Orange! The legendary hunter who once slew the ancient dragon Yamata no Serpent, which destroyed the ecosystem!"

Among Cheng Tian's five legendary titles, "Enemy of the Great Serpent" is clearly the one that best fits the current worldview.

The conditions for obtaining Legendary status are quite special, but with such a large player base, it's not just Cheng Tian who can obtain it; there are several other players in the current player group as well.

But it is precisely because of this that they are even more surprised by the treatment Cheng Tian is receiving now—

How many legendary levels would it take to achieve this level of popularity?

With the added attributes of various equipment abilities, Cheng Tian, ​​who possessed near-maximum strength, accepted all comers without hesitation, even lifting his mask to drink with them.

Suddenly, Cheng Tian frowned, and his Taiji True Eyes emitted a faint orange light.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the New World, in an area filled with scorching lava, a pair of enormous cats were startled awake from their sleep, arching their backs and beginning to hiss at each other.

Both of them had a crimson gemstone inlaid on their foreheads.
