A game where you have to pay to win? But I have a lifespan roulette wheel!

Hunting Capital!

As you can tell from the name, this is a city associated with hunting.

It is very unique.

From a distance, the hunting capital doesn't look like a city, but rather like a huge tribe.

Super huge.

It's like a primitive city-state nestled among ancient giant trees, forests, and mountains.

amount……

Okay, I'm coming clean.

It's actually somewhat like Sumeru, where the entire city is integrated with trees, but the architectural style is mainly animal skin tents and treehouses built around the shapes of trees.

Then there's the main race here.

It is a humanoid race.

According to the anime community, they are the Long-Legged Tribe from One Piece.

Are there people with long legs? If not, then there are people with long arms, who also make their legs look longer.

In the film industry, it's called a white-skinned Avatar.

From Jiang Lin's perspective, a pure human, the appearance of this race is still somewhat off-putting.

Its name is Hunting Capital.

The professions here are mostly related to hunting.

such as:

Entry-level profession: Tracker

Job Change Quest: Under the witness of the elders, you are tasked with tracking a Shadow Leopard (a medium-sized predator that can blend into the shadows) alone, starting from its usual den, following it throughout the day's activities (foraging, drinking, and patrolling its territory) without being detected, and finally bringing back a tuft of fur or a piece of feces as evidence.

Honorable Deed: If you can record the entire process of the Shadow Leopard hunting another prey and draw a rough map of its territory, you will directly receive the "Eagle Eye" praise, and the effect of future tracking skills will be increased by 20%.

Basic profession: Spear Thrower

Job change quest: Head to Wind Howling Rift Valley, where turbulent strong winds blow year-round. The target is a "dried fruit" about the size of a fist, hanging on a vine and swaying constantly, located 100 meters away.

Requirements: Using a standard hunting spear, you must pierce the core of the fruit at least three times within ten throwing attempts (minor glancing blows do not count). Wind direction and speed will change in real time, and the fruit will swing erratically.

Legend has it that if you can pierce a fruit and hit a natural crack in the rock wall behind it with a single strike, you will receive the blessing of the ancestral spirits, and your spear will have a certain probability of ignoring some of the wind's influence.

Beginner Job: Trap Master

Job change quest: You are assigned a woodland area with a radius of 50 meters and are told that an enraged tusked boar (thick-skinned and powerful) will be driven into the area in one hour.

Objective: You cannot directly fight the wild boar. You can only use the materials available in this area (trees, vines, stones, pits) and the basic tools you are allowed to carry (rope, flint, a small amount of bait) to set up a series of traps. The goal is to incapacitate or capture the wild boar before it rushes out of the area.

A Gift of Wisdom: If your trap array displays amazing ingenuity, you might be accepted as an apprentice by the trap master of the hunting capital to learn how to create even more ancient mechanisms—traps rumored to be able to slay dragons!

The ones mentioned above are all so-so.

Next, Jiang Lin, tell the truth!

I'm quite interested!

Entry-level profession: Skinner

Job Change Quest:

You will receive a Crystal Antler Deer that has just died (its fur is of superior quality, its antlers are a precious material, and its meat is delicious but prone to bruising). The deer has four battle wounds on its body.

Claim:

Complete the following tasks independently within half an hour:

1. Remove the deer hide completely, without any unnecessary cuts or tears.

2. Remove the complete antlers, ensuring there are no cracks at the base.

3. Perfectly divide the venison into different quality categories (lean meat, regular meat, offal) and bleed it to ensure the best meat quality.

4. Determine the source and angle of the fatal wound from the wound itself, and report your analysis to the elder.

Ritual: The entire process must be solemn, and a badge of gratitude must be drawn on your forehead with deer blood at the end. If you complete these requirements, you will have a very ritualistic way of skinning your prey in the future. When your skills are honed to a high level, you may even be able to peel off the skin of your enemy in an instant without being noticed.

What the hell!

What kind of amazing skill is this!

Others, at best, can only strip the enemy of their clothes amidst a sea of ​​soldiers.

This guy, wow, let's skin him alive!

It doesn't increase Jiang Lin's combat power at all, but I always feel that this execution move will be really cool!

In short, I want it.

The later entry-level jobs didn't seem very interesting.

You can tell what it is just by its name, and its abilities aren't anything particularly special.

For example, [Beast Speaker], [Shaman Apprentice], [Drumstick Warrior], [Wilderness Assassin], [Insect Tamer]

Survival Expert

That's right.

This hunting capital only has ten basic professions.

There are only three intermediate-level professions, and there are currently no exclusive advanced-level professions.

It's a relatively young city (actually, it's weak).

The three job names sound quite nice.

The [Master Hunter] requires a Tracker, a Spear Thrower, and a Trap Master.

The name looks ordinary, but the three-headed monster you need to kill to change jobs has a nice name.

Lord of the Mountains: An old, exceptionally wise, giant woolly rhinoceros.

I've never seen a rhinoceros with fur.

Ghost Tiger: A pure white, elusive subspecies of saber-toothed tiger, extremely fast, leaving almost no trace.

Just from its name, it seems like a good candidate to be a mount.

Nesting Mother Spider: A giant spider-like creature that dwells in ancient burrows and commands small swarms of spiders.

Seventh Sister!

Is that you, Seventh Sister?!

The [Beastmaster] requires a Beast Speaker, a Shaman Apprentice, and a Drumstick Warrior.

Yes.

You heard that right.

Let's call him! Beast King! Ruler!!!

In this context where all professionals follow a uniform format, under the leadership of King xxx.

It's astonishing that a mere intermediate-level profession dares to use such a name.

If it weren't for the fact that the Beast King himself has a very easygoing personality, it seems like he wouldn't have a good time in this hunting capital.

Incidentally, this is a profession that Furi fans would love.

His job change quest involved entering the "Ancestral Spirit Beast Tomb," a burial ground for powerful beasts and beast kings throughout history, permeated with raging beast soul energy. (Here, "beast king" refers to a specific beast king, the most powerful beast in a particular region, and is on a completely different level from the "King of Beasts" in a free city!)

Here, those seeking a new class must conquer (using the abilities of the Drumstick Warrior), communicate (using the abilities of the Beast Speaker), and fuse (using the abilities of the Shaman Apprentice) with the Beastmaster's Soul.

This process is extremely painful; your will will fiercely clash with the wild instincts of the beast soul.

Yes, those are all standard excuses.

Of course, as an intermediate-level profession, the risks of death and failure are greatly increased.

If this thing succeeds, your body may develop subtle characteristics of the beast's soul (such as changing pupil color or growing a light mane), and you will permanently gain some of its abilities (such as enhanced claw strikes, roar intimidation, and beast instinct), becoming a symbiotic entity with it.

If the fusion fails, at best the soul will be damaged (permanently reduced mental attributes), and at worst the soul will be devoured by the beast soul, turning the person into a bloodthirsty monster.

Do you understand what I mean?

This means that if controlled properly, it is possible to grow animal ears, animal tails, and other features, which can be considered a targeted modification of one's appearance.

What if you don't want to change your appearance?

This was mentioned a long time ago. For example, Lu Keke's infertility ability can be countered by another profession.

The shape should be simpler, and there are many ways to modify it.

Jiang Lin really liked the name of the last intermediate-level profession.

(Hehe, this chapter was just filler... no, I just had fun writing the setting, hehe hehe.)
