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

After watching Wang Xiaoming and his group leave Tianqing Town, Lü Xiu turned and walked into the Hunter Association.

"Are you a new hunter? Are you interested in joining our Hidden Gold Rat Hunting Group?" As soon as he stepped into the Hunter Association's gate, a sweet-looking young lady handed Lu Xiu a "flyer".

"Thank you, I have a hunting party now," Lu Xiu casually fabricated, claiming to have a hunting party, and headed straight into the hall. This would save him a lot of trouble.

Behind the young lady were other hunting groups handing out flyers. When they saw that Lu Xiu said he had a hunting group, they immediately lost the idea of ​​handing him a flyer.

After finding a seat in the Hunter's Hall, Lü Xiu began to filter the tasks he wanted.

Before he became a treasure hunter, he had actually considered joining a hunting party.

Large mythical beasts of the same level are stronger than humans, so hunting in a group is definitely much easier than hunting alone. Although the loot will be less, and you might even have to pay a group fee, at least it's safer and you can easily get through the early low levels.

But after becoming a treasure hunter, Lü Xiu lost all interest in joining any hunting party.

He doesn't necessarily need to hunt; just searching for treasure chests in the wild would make him feel like he could make a fortune.

According to the rules of most hunting groups, treasure chests are considered spoils of war, and their contents must be distributed once discovered. This means that the "greedy" Lü Xiu could never join a hunting group.

In the future, I might find a loosely organized "gathering" to join...

In the very center of the Hunter Association’s hall stands a massive stone pillar, with huge stone slabs attached to its four sides. These slabs are called commission boards, much like the IED screens in Lu Xiu’s previous life, which stand in the center. Everyone can find suitable hunting commissions on them.

Some of these hunting commissions are issued by the Hunters Association.

For example, a one-star commission for "Cleansing the Wolf Pack".

【Clean up the wolf pack (★)】

[Commission Objective: To retrieve Wolfsbane Fangs]

[Completion Reward: Wolf Fangs will be purchased at a price of 10 Alliance Coins each. Those who deliver 100 or more Wolf Fangs at once will receive an additional 10 Wolf Fang Arrows.]

[Service time limit: 3 days, 7 hour, and 25 minutes]

[Mission Description: Recently, the wolf population in the Sky Town area has become rampant, with packs even appearing on the Sea Breeze Plains to attack merchant caravans. A certain number of wolves need to be eliminated.]

Most of the commissions issued by hunter associations in various regions are related to the surrounding ecology. The goal is to maintain the ecological balance of the surrounding area.

If there's too much of a certain species, we need to clean it up; if there's too little, we need to protect it.

This applies to regular mythical beasts.

If a powerful mythical beast exists, the Hunter Association will recruit hunting parties to hunt it.

For example...

【Thousand-Pound Tiger (★★★)】

[Commission Objective: Kill the Thousand-Pound Tiger and bring back its Tiger Flame Tail as proof]

[Completion Reward: 50,000 Alliance Coins, Treasure-grade Bow Hunting Skill "Storm Shot"]

[Service time limit: 12 days, 1 hour, and 11 minutes]

[Mission Description: A level 35 Thousand-Pound Tiger, an alien mythical beast, has appeared in the western part of Breeze Forest. It is suspected of being affected by "Madness Disease" and its indiscriminate killing has caused ecological degradation in the area. It urgently needs to be hunted down.]

Hunting missions targeting large mythical beasts are the real action.

However, the Thousand-Pound Tiger is too high-level and may also suffer from "Madness Disease," which causes phantom beasts to lose their minds and become even more powerful. It is not something I can hunt at present.

We need to find a more suitable target.

【Rock Horned Rhinoceros (★★)】(Competitive Commission)

[Mission Objective: Kill the Rockhorn Rhinoceros and bring back its horn as proof]

[Completion Reward: 1000 Alliance Coins, Excellent-grade Knife Hunting Skill "Instant Slash"]

[Service time limit: 5 days, 12 hour, and 15 minutes]

[Quest Description: A level 15 alien mythical beast, the Rockhorn Rhinoceros, has appeared in the "Thorn Orchard" in the western part of Breeze Forest. It frequently charges into the orchard at night and has already knocked down twenty fruit trees. (Note: This Rockhorn Rhinoceros has "swollen rock horns," making it incredibly destructive. It enjoys charging into things. If you can defeat it quickly, you will receive an extra reward from the orchard owner.)]

This one is more suitable.

The Rockhorn Rhinoceros is level 15. If it were a regular novice hunter, it would require at least a five-person team.

But for Lü Xiu, he had already completed similar tasks before even changing jobs. Besides, he has now changed jobs.

"The thorn orchard west of Breeze Forest... I remember it was Old Man Sand's orchard."

"The location marked on the treasure map is near the Thorn Orchard, so I can help Old Man Sha complete the task along the way," Lu Xiu planned.

However, this was not a hunting mission issued by the Hunter Association, but a hunting commission issued by the townspeople.

There are many similar tasks, such as...

【Warm Mushroom (★)】

[Mission Objective: Warm Mushroom]

[Task Reward: Warm Mushrooms for 3 Alliance Coins each]

[Task Description: Purchase unlimited Warm Mushrooms]

Warm Mushrooms are an essential ingredient for making healing potions, and those who buy them without limit are most likely merchants selling healing potions in town, or the Chamber of Commerce.

Leaning back in a chair in the lobby, Lü Xiu carefully examined the task board, then took out his notebook and recorded and planned the tasks he could possibly complete.

Finally, register with the Hunter Association staff.

Only the ★★ quest "Rockhorn Rhinoceros" was registered.

Because tasks like "Clearing the Wolf Pack" and "Warm Mushroom" are considered completed by handing in items, even if you didn't accept them, you can still complete them on the spot if you bring the corresponding items back.

Most of the commissions that need to be accepted are either those with few targets, such as "Thousand-Pound Tiger" or "Rock Horned Rhinoceros", or those with clear targets.

Putting away his notebook, Lü Xiu got up and left the Hunter Association, walking out of Tianqing Port under the watchful eyes of the guards at the city gate.

The first hunt after changing jobs is finally about to begin.
