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

At dawn, the sky was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of white.

The docks in Tianqing Town are already bustling with activity and traffic.

How many days are you planning to stay?

The siblings, Lü Xiu and Fang Tang, were drinking porridge on the first floor.

"Three days, I guess," Lu Xiu replied contentedly, taking a sip of his congee with preserved egg and lean pork.

His trip wasn't just about digging up intermediate-level treasure maps; he also wanted to capture a mythical beast as his pet. As for what to capture, he hadn't decided yet, intending to see what he might encounter first, so these three days were just a rough estimate.

"Did you bring water, food, and animal-repelling incense for the wild?"

"Don't worry, sister, this isn't my first time hunting in the wild. I've prepared everything." Lu Xiu replied. Because of the huge storage space provided by the Greedy Treasure Chest, an ordinary hunter would only bring enough food and water for seven days at most when he went out hunting for three days, but he prepared a month's worth.

It wasn't just food and water; there were also plenty of spares for trap materials, sleeping bags, and rain jackets.

After finishing the remaining porridge in his bowl, Lü Xiu got up and left. "Sister, I'm off."

"Be careful on the road, come back soon," Xing said, holding the wheelchair handles and pushing Fang Tang to the door.

Leaning against the door frame, Fang Tang quietly "watched" her younger brother walk away until he disappeared from "sight".

"Whoosh"

Suddenly, a faint shadow fell from the crabapple tree in the courtyard and transformed into a young man in his early twenties with a cynical smile.

Aren't you going to say goodbye to your brother?

Almost instantly, Xing shielded Fang Tang behind her, simultaneously preparing for battle. Her hands transformed into two long swords, and pale blue flames burst forth from the gaps in her steel armor, her fighting spirit rising.

Fang Tang ignored the young man, turned his wheelchair around, handed Xing a letter, and gave her the order, "Wait for him at home."

"How cold-hearted. I endured the pressure from those stubborn old fogies to make sure you stayed until your brother awakened before leaving," the ignored youth said, feigning sadness, as he pulled a dark vortex from a spatial rift.

When the center of the shadow vortex was opened, the blurry figure of an old man emerged, and the space was completely opened up.

Fang Tang rolled her wheelchair into the shadow vortex.

The young man bowed in a gesture of welcome.

"Dr. Fang Tang, the [Chinese Society for Biological Studies] welcomes your return."

.....

Leaving home, Lü Xiu headed straight for the west gate of Tianqing Town.

As a port city, Tianqing Town boasts a superior geographical location. To the east lies the boundless border sea, while to the north and south stretches a vast grassland with established trade routes, bustling with merchant caravans every day. To the west, adjacent to Tianqing Mountain, lies a vast forest teeming with rare and exotic animals, making it a natural hunting ground.

This vast forest was Lü Xiu's destination for the next few days: Breeze Forest.

Before heading to Breeze Forest, Lü Xiu had to visit the Hunter Association.

See if there are any commissions from Breeze Forest, complete them while you're at it, and you can earn some pocket money too.

Even early in the morning, the entrance to the Hunter Association was quite lively.

There were quite a few novice hunters who shared the same idea as Lü Xiu. They came to the Hunter Association early to see if there were any suitable commissions for them.

There are also many merchant caravans loading and unloading goods here.

However, as soon as Lü Xiu arrived, he saw several familiar faces.

It is Lin Niannian, Lin Heng, and Ye Qianxue.

Lin Niannian and Ye Qianxue were sitting in a carriage. The person in charge of driving the horses was Lin Heng. Next to him was a handsome man who looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recognize him at first glance. He had a roast chicken in his left hand and a roast duck in his right hand.

"Brother Lü~" The handsome man saw Lü Xiu and immediately dismounted from his horse, coming up to greet him warmly.

"Handsome guy, who are you?" Lu Xiu tried hard to remember, but still couldn't recall who the handsome guy in front of him was.

"Me? Wang Xiaoming!" The handsome guy grinned, very satisfied with Lü Xiu's reaction!

"you?"

"Wang Xiaoming?" Lu Xiu looked incredulous; the two had clearly met just yesterday afternoon.

1.6 meters tall, 300 kilograms.

Now, both his height and weight are seriously mismatched!

"Hehe," Wang Xiaoming chuckled smugly, "My mom prepared a treasure-level culinary skill for me called 'Calorie Transformation,' which turned my accumulated fat into attributes, and even improved my figure and appearance."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoming showed off his well-defined biceps.

"From now on, I won't be afraid of gaining weight no matter how much I eat!"

"I was wondering why your head is so pointy..."

Wang Xiaoming: ? ? ? !!!

"Then let me ask you... then let me ask you..."

Wang Xiaoming stammered for a long time but couldn't get any information out of him.

Lü Xiu: "Hahahaha~"

"Hmph!" Wang Xiaoming handed the roast duck, which he hadn't even eaten yet, to Lü Xiu.

"Want some?"

Lu Xiu didn't stand on ceremony, reached out and took the roast duck, picked it up and started eating, casually asking as he ate, "Where are you all going?"

"Entering the city"

"We're planning to move to Nantian Port," Wang Xiaoming said, completely trusting Lü Xiu and not hiding anything. "But this is a choice my parents made for me. If you ask me, I'd like to go barbecue with you on the mountain, Brother Lü."

"Then it's better to go to Nantian Port. Big cities can broaden your horizons and you can meet stronger hunters, so you can grow faster," Lu Xiu said, agreeing with Wang Xiaoming's parents' decision.

Once he becomes stronger, he plans to move to a bigger city.

Larger cities and more powerful hunting grounds are needed to find more powerful and rarer beasts.

"That's what my parents said too," Wang Xiaoming shrugged, though he didn't agree with it.

"Brother Lu, what about you? Going to the Hunter Association to get a mission?"

"Hmm, getting ready to hunt in Breeze Forest." Lu Xiu quickly finished his roast duck and refused the grilled fish Wang Xiaoming offered him again. "I have to go. I need to level up quickly while there are fewer people in the morning."

"Okay, I'll write to you when I have time," Wang Xiaoming said, bumping fists with Lü Xiu.

Although... who knows when they'll meet again, their friendship as neighbors who grew up together will never change.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Lü Xiu was about to leave, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound and a small thing flew towards him.

Reaching out, I found it was an antique silver coin.

Adja's Fate Coin (Silver)

Grade: Excellent

Effect: Luck +1 (Effects of the same type of item cannot be stacked; takes effect after being placed in the inventory)

Description: A special currency from the lost kingdom of "Adeya", consisting of one gold and one silver coin. When the distance between the gold and silver coins is within 10,000 meters, the location of the other coin can be sensed.

"This..." Lu Xiu looked up in the direction from which the silver coin had flown, which was at the window of the carriage, where Ye Qianxue was sitting.

"You'll be going to the Nantian Port professional hunter promotion next year, right?" Ye Qianxue's eyes were fixed on Lü Xiu.

"Huh?" Lu Xiu was taken aback, and subconsciously answered "Yes."

Once a hunter reaches level 40, they can take a "promotion exam" to become a "professional hunter," at which point they will gain even greater power. When planning his future, Lü Xiu decided to become a professional hunter as quickly as possible, so he will definitely attend next year's professional hunter exam.

After saying "See you then," Ye Qianxue lowered the curtain of the carriage window, leaving Lü Xiu, Wang Xiaoming, and Lin Heng in the carriage looking at each other in bewilderment.

Wang Xiaoming craned his neck, looking on with curiosity.

"Are you having an affair with Ye Qianxue?"

Lu Xiu shrugged and said, "I'd love to!"
