Everyone's a Hunter? I'm a Hunter x Hunter!

the next morning.

Lu Xiu arrived at the Hunter Association entrance half an hour early.

A caravan called "Nanhe Trading Company" was loading goods in front of the Hunter Association.

From afar, Lü Xiu saw Lin Yufei sitting at the door of the passenger carriage on the back of the Chamber of Commerce's camel.

Upon seeing Lü Xiu arrive, Lin Yufei quickly waved.

Lu Xiu walked lightly, quickly running along the back of the camel to the door of the passenger carriage.

Inside the large passenger carriage, there was only Nie Fengyun, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, taking a short nap with his eyes closed.

Hearing that someone was coming, Nie Fengyun looked up and saw that it was Lü Xiu. He nodded slightly.

"sit"

Lu Xiu obediently sat down.

Thinking that Nie Fengyun had something to say, he closed his eyes again.

7: am.

The caravan set off on time, the camels carrying heavy loads as they left the town of Tianqing and headed south.

Through the passenger car window, Lü Xiu could see his hometown gradually shrinking as the camel-drawn beasts moved.

"You...have never traveled far?" Lin Yufei asked Lü Xiu, leaning against the door of the passenger car.

"Yes, I used to hunt mostly around the town," Lu Xiu replied.

As a time traveler, he was 27 years old before he came here. He had been working in society for several years, so he had the experience and patience to resist the temptations of the outside world and the loneliness of eighteen years, honing his hunting skills in the town of Tianqing.

Advanced trapping techniques are one such achievement.

Lin Yufei opened his mouth, wanting to continue chatting with Lü Xiu, but he didn't know what to say.

Lu Xiu could tell that Lin Yufei wasn't good at socializing; he only spoke up to avoid making Lu Xiu feel awkward.

I didn't expect the atmosphere to be even more awkward now.

"Coo coo~" A carrier pigeon flew in from afar and just in time to ease the awkward situation.

Lin Yufei reached out and let the carrier pigeon land on his arm. He then took the letter from the pigeon, examined it, and handed it to Nie Fengyun. "Master, this is a letter from the Nantian Port branch. Du Shixin has indeed appeared in Nantian Port."

Nie Fengyun then opened his eyes, picked up the letter, and examined it carefully.

Lu Xiu glanced at Lin Yufei with some curiosity.

Does Nie Fengyun have apprentices?

Wait a minute...

If Lin Yufei is Nie Fengyun's apprentice, he shouldn't be completely unknown in the game "Hunting World".

Is it because of me?

Lu Xiu couldn't help but speculate.

If I hadn't appeared, would Lin Yufei really have died yesterday? In the hands of the Evil Ghost Path: Purgatory Killing Tiger and the members of the [Nest] organization?

"Teacher, should we turn back and head to Nantian Port?" Lin Yufei asked. Rather than attending the Golden Gathering, he wanted to fight Fang Ming again and avenge his imprisonment.

"No rush, you have to wait and see to catch a big fish."

"Du Shixin has been baited; now we'll see how big the fish will bite." Clearly, Nie Fengyun's appetite wasn't limited to this; he deliberately let Du Shixin go.

No wonder they were moving so slowly with the caravan today; Lu Xiu had thought Nie Fengyun would be chasing after Du Shixin all the way.

"Reply to them and tell them to hold back, but also send people to investigate. Just make sure that Du Shixin hasn't left Nantian Port," Nie Fengyun instructed.

"Yes, Master," Lin Yufei immediately complied.

Lin Yufei wrote a letter, put it in the letter box on the carrier pigeon's leg, fed the pigeon some food, and then released it.

Nie Fengyun then looked at Lü Xiu and said.

"Once we get to Money Valley, I'll find you a suitable teacher. What do you think?"

Lu Xiu was taken aback. Why did Nie Fengyun always give him surprises all of a sudden?

In his previous life in the game, he played the role of "Gourmet Hunter," but back then, the role was determined by AI based on answering questions.

But when he actually arrived in this world, he became a Beast Hunter.

If possible, Lü Xiu would certainly like to find an "expert" to teach him how to play the Beast Hunter class.

What do I need to give in return?

"No need, this is a perk for hunters who haven't advanced yet to join the [Golden Gathering]," Nie Fengyun shook his head slightly and closed his eyes again for a short rest.

Lin Yufei, who was standing to the side, also nodded to Lü Xiu.

This made Lü Xiu suddenly want to ask if Nie Fengyun became Lin Yufei's master because of this.

However, Lü Xiu was too embarrassed to ask in front of Nie Fengyun.

It wasn't until evening, when the caravan stopped to rest and cook, that Lü Xiu had the opportunity to ask Lin Yufei this question alone.

"Of course not."

There is a difference between a teacher and a master.

"A teacher only teaches you skills, just like you have many skill teachers at the hunter school. But a master is different. In addition to teaching me skills, he also plans my future path..." From Lin Yufei's tone, Lü Xiu could tell that he was very satisfied with Nie Fengyun as his master.

"My master accepted me because my brother asked him to," Lin Yufei explained.

Who is your brother?

"Lin Yuteng! You should have heard of him, right? He's currently the youngest title hunter in the Hunting Alliance." Lin Yufei's face was full of pride when he mentioned his older brother.

It's more than just hearsay.

When Lü Xiu first heard the name Lin Yufei, he was already guessing about his relationship with Lin Yuteng.

I initially thought the similarity in names was just a coincidence.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Lin Yuteng's younger brother.

But the more Lü Xiu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Nie Fengyun and Lin Yuteng are both highly well-known NPCs in "Hunting World".

Lin Yufei is both Nie Fengyun's apprentice and Lin Yuteng's younger brother. How come I've never heard of such an important NPC?

Therefore, the hunting world I live in is not completely 100% identical to "Hunting World"?

Or is there... some hidden story here?
