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

Lu Xiu's home is not far from the Hunter Association. After crossing a commercial street and walking another 500 meters, you will find a two-story building with a crabapple tree in the courtyard.

"Sister, I'm back!" Lu Xiu pushed open the courtyard gate.

Under the crabapple tree in the courtyard, a woman in a long white dress, her face covered with a strip of white cloth, sat in a wheelchair, taking a nap. Behind her stood a female warrior clad in silver armor, a sword at her waist.

Upon hearing Lü Xiu's voice, the woman's face immediately lit up with a smile as bright as a blooming begonia, and she rolled her wheelchair toward Lü Xiu.

"You're back. Today was the last day of the assessment, right? What kind of hunter did you awaken as?"

The woman is Lu Xiu's older sister, Fang Tang, a paralyzed and blind knowledge hunter, currently level 39.

However, Fang Tang is not Lü Xiu's biological sister; Lü Xiu is an orphan adopted by Fang Tang's parents. Being an orphan is quite common in this world teeming with mythical beasts, hunters, and constant warfare.

Fang Tang's parents, who were also Lü Xiu's adoptive parents, have also passed away, dying on their way to find medicine to treat Fang Tang's paralysis and blindness.

In the world of "Hunting World," curing paralysis and blindness is not difficult. However, Fang Tang's condition seems to be more than just simple paralysis and blindness; he is actually cursed by a terrifying beast.

Lu Xiu had asked his sister about the specifics, but Fang Tang was unwilling to discuss it, so he didn't press further. He thought to himself that he would ask about the details and help his sister recover once he became stronger.

As for the female warrior behind Fang Tang, her name is "Xing," and she is a "virtual god" manifested by Fang Tang using the power of the Knowledge Hunter.

Lu Xiu understood the concept of "virtual gods" to be the same as "guardian spirits" and "standers" from his previous life's anime.

Extremely powerful and absolutely loyal!

Lu Xiu could go hunting in the wild with peace of mind precisely because of the existence of "Apricot".

"I have awakened to become a Beast Hunter," Lu Xiu replied, familiarly coming behind Fang Tang, taking the wheelchair handle from Xing's hand and pushing her into the house.

"A Beast Hunter? That suits you well. I remember you loved animals when you were little."

"I think so too," Lu Xiu suddenly realized that his awakening as a Beast Hunter might also be due to his love for small animals. Whether in his past life or this one, he had raised many cats.

"Are we going out hunting later?" Fang Tang asked, recalling the scene when she first awakened.

He couldn't wait to run outside, and his parents couldn't stop him.

"I'm not going out today. I want to prepare some things tonight and go hunting early tomorrow morning." Lu Xiu had already planned ahead. There must be a lot of people in the outskirts of Tianqing Town now. If he doesn't go far enough, he will definitely see more people than prey.

Fang Tang nodded. "Let's go buy a cake then, and celebrate properly tonight."

"Okay, I'll go buy it in a bit."

After pushing Fang Tang into the house and handing her over to Xing, Lü Xiu turned and went upstairs to start packing things for tomorrow.

Arrows, traps, healing potions, hunter's leather armor...

Before awakening, carrying these things around was inconvenient, but now that he's awakened and has a spatial backpack, Lü Xiu simply stuffed them all in. Anyway, thanks to the "Greedy Treasure Chest," his spatial backpack has a full million cubic meters, more than enough to fit his entire house, let alone this much equipment.

After packing the equipment he needed for tomorrow, Lü Xiu sat on the bed and opened his attribute panel to examine it carefully.

He already knew about the Beast Hunter's class talents and skills, and they had been thoroughly studied by many Beast Hunters. However, he needed to explore the Treasure Hunter's talents and skills on his own.

The Treasure Hunter's class talent "Treasure Seeker" is easy to understand.

Each naturally formed treasure chest opened grants a permanent percentage attribute bonus.

In the world of hunting, a treasure chest that only hunters can see can appear anywhere at any time, containing all sorts of treasures.

Skill books, pet eggs, rare materials, or powerful equipment.

The more remote and sparsely populated a place is, the more likely it is to contain a treasure chest.

The Treasure Hunter game, named after "treasure," offers attribute bonuses for opening treasure chests, which makes sense.

As for this "treasure chest perception".

The effect is that it can detect treasure chests within a range of level x 100 meters. Cooldown time: 1 hour.

But I don't know exactly how to perceive it.

Lu Xiu decided to give it a try, since there was only a one-hour cooldown period anyway.

"Treasure Chest Sense"

The moment he activated his skill, Lü Xiu felt something drawing him in from below.

Looking down, I could see the floor of my own second-floor apartment.

No, the thing is still under the floor, some distance away from me.

Lu Xiu quickly turned and went downstairs.

Upon arriving on the first floor, Lü Xiu went into the backyard, where the things that attracted him were still there.

Opening the back door, a small river appeared before Lü Xiu.

This river is called the Sunny River. It runs right through the middle of the town of Sunny. Every household uses it for washing rice, doing laundry, and getting drinking water. Occasionally, fishermen can be seen fishing on both sides of the river, and boatmen often come and go on the river to transport goods.

What you're looking for is in the Qinghe River.

Lu Xiu immediately took off his clothes and put them in the backyard, then plunged headfirst into the Qinghe River.

The Qinghe River wasn't deep, only about three meters. Lü Xiu easily probed the bottom and quickly found a square iron box deep in the silt.

After bringing the items ashore, Lü Xiu beamed with joy.

He found a black iron treasure chest!

Treasure chests also have different levels, from lowest to highest: wooden, iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, and rainbow.

The higher the level of the treasure chest, the better the items you can get from it.

The Black Iron Treasure Chest can contain either common or excellent items.

Lu Xiu said he wasn't greedy; any high-quality material would be fine. Ideally, it would be compatible with cold-patterned iron, so he wouldn't have to spend money buying additional materials.

I couldn't wait to open the treasure chest.

The contents of the black iron treasure chest were immediately apparent. There were no high-quality materials that Lü Xiu had hoped for, but there was a skill book.

Concentrated Strike (Hunting Technique)

Grade: Excellent

Learning requirements: Archery (Intermediate), Strength ≥ 10, Spirit ≥ 10

Description: By focusing one's mind and concentrating at the fastest speed, one can aim at the target and fire a more accurate and powerful arrow.

"An excellent hunting skill?!" Lu Xiu's eyes lit up.

My original goal was just to get excellent-grade materials, but I didn't expect to get an excellent-grade hunting skill.

"It seems I'm still not greedy enough," Lu Xiu said with some shame, considering he was a treasure hunter after all.

Hunting skills refer to skills that hunters of all professions can learn, and are mostly related to weapons and hand-to-hand combat.

As a skill book, its value far surpasses that of materials and equipment of the same level!

However, Lü Xiu did not intend to sell it. His preferred ranged weapon was the bow, and his archery skills had reached the intermediate level through practice, so he could also use this hunting technique called "Concentrated Strike".

Lu Xiu directly learned the "Concentrated Strike" technique.

Instantly, the technique of "Concentrated Strike" was poured into Lü Xiu's mind, as if he didn't need to learn it and was born with this move, which he could use at will.

There is now an additional skill in the skill bar.

【Focused Strike (Excellent): Hunting Skill, LV1. Focus your mind, aim at the target and fire an arrow. Hit rate increased by 20%, plus additional physical damage equal to Strength*1.】

After taking the items from the black iron treasure chest, the chest itself began to gradually disintegrate and collapse. By the time Lü Xiu learned the "Concentrated Strike" technique, the treasure chest had completely turned into starlight, all of which flowed into Lü Xiu's body.

[Hint: Opening the Black Iron Treasure Chest activates the Treasure Hunter's Talent, permanently increasing all attributes by 2%]

"2%" Lu Xiu was surprised by this percentage bonus.

It's not because a 2% improvement is too little, but because... it's just too much!

If one Black Iron Chest provides a 2% boost, then 50 chests would provide a 100% boost!

This is equivalent to doubling your attributes!

Although treasure chests are rare, that's for ordinary hunters. For someone like me with "treasure perception," fifty treasure chests are not a difficult task at all.

Especially when you're the only treasure hunter in the world...
