Game: I'm a Hunter in the Blood Curse World

After opening his eyes, Vann's gaze went past Katya's protruding parts and landed on her lowered face.

"Lord Van En..."

The girl wore an awkward smile, looking somewhat lost.

Turning my head to look at Lorinsa again, I found that the trainee judge was looking down at the book in her hands.

After feeling Van En's gaze, she closed the book and coughed softly twice:

"After all, it's my and Katya's first time, so don't be too picky. The Beast Transformation Disease is practically incurable; it can only be slowed down." Loretta noticed Vann staring intently at her, and her tone became slightly guilty.

"Hmm... At worst, when you go to Yongyue City in the future, I'll find a professional doctor to perform the surgery for you, and I'll cover your medical expenses!"

Fan En looked away with a hint of helplessness, raising his hands in front of him. But even this simple action made him gasp in pain.

"Ouch... How did my hand get like this!"

Van En's eyes widened, almost unable to believe what he was seeing:

His left fingernails were all torn off, and even some of the surrounding skin and flesh were cut away.

There was a square wound on the back of his right hand, about 2*2 centimeters in size, with the skin completely peeled off, exposing the muscle underneath.

Fan En's hands trembled as he opened his mouth, about to say something.

On the other side, Rolinesa took out a bandage of white gauze and gave it to Katya:

"We're almost at Sweet Well Village. Don't worry about this. Help your hunter get bandaged up so it won't affect his battle later."

"Okay!" Katya said apologetically as she picked up gauze and began to bandage Vann's wound.

This time, the novice nun moved very gently, her face showing a look of concern:

"You must be in a lot of pain! It's all my fault... I used too much force and did a very rough job."

After his hands were bandaged, Fan En felt that the pain had almost disappeared, but he still felt a burning sensation.

He smiled and comforted her:

"It's okay, everyone has a first time, next time..."

"There will absolutely be no next time!"

Katya held up three fingers and said with a serious expression.

"...Okay! Hey! Wait a minute!"

Van En had intended to end the conversation, but after glancing at the notification message, his expression immediately brightened:

[You underwent a crude surgery; your beastification value has decreased by 0.06.]

Lorinsa and Katya were taken aback. They looked at each other, about to say something, when they heard Vann say:

"It's still effective; I feel my bestiality has lessened somewhat."

"Phew! I knew this method would be right!"

"Phew! Okay, it's good that it worked, otherwise Lord Vann would have suffered for nothing."

Hearing Rolinsa and Katya both let out a long sigh of relief, Van En wondered:

"Could Rolinsa be Hu Meng's too...? These two apprentice 'babies' seem unreliable, but their beast transformation values ​​aren't as hard to remove as the panel says..."

"No! Only 0.06, which means I have to peel off my fingernails 30 times to remove 3 points of my beast transformation value..."

Back in his hometown, Van En had suffered a lot in his health, but he still shuddered after calculating such an outrageous number.

But after thinking for a few seconds, Van En, having calmed down, still felt that this method was not bad:

"When you lose your mind and become a crazed beast, pulling out your fingernails is nothing... Just like before, once you get used to it, it won't bother you."

Therefore, Vann said to Katya:

"You can continue to do this for me when the time is right."

"Ah!" Katya leaned back, her back hitting the carriage, her face filled with disbelief.

Lorinsa chuckled and said, "That's right. The hunters of the Hearst family are indeed as wild as the legends say, and they are not afraid of the beast transformation surgery at all."

Vann felt a slight itch in his left hand, knowing that the long, black, animal-like claws were growing, but upon hearing Lorinsa's words, he still asked curiously:

"What's the procedure for the beast transformation surgery in Moonlit City? Have you seen how other hunters do it?"

Lorinsa nodded, then shook her head:

"I've seen what hunters look like before and after entering and leaving the operating room, but I've never actually been inside the operating room myself."

As he spoke, a mocking glint appeared in the eyes of the novice judge:

"But I've almost never seen a hunter with severe beastification disease walk into the hospital voluntarily; they're almost always taken there by force."

This precocious young apprentice priest looked Vann up and down and said:

"However, I'm sure the academics and therapists in the hospital will be extremely interested in performing the surgery on you, and might even be vying to do it."

After hearing Lorinsa's words, Van felt a chill run down his spine and asked:

"Why...why would you be interested in me?"

"Hehe! Your family really didn't tell you about this." Lorinsa laughed and explained:

"That's because Master Doug Hearst is the only hunter who, even in the late stages of the Beast Disease, can still maintain his sanity and doesn't go mad."

Vane nodded: "That's certainly true, we... Hearsts are all very special..."

Lorinsa's words are good news, meaning that even if Vann's beastification disease is severe, he may not go completely insane.

But he knew very well that Doug Hearst, as a Primal Hunter, must be incredibly powerful, far beyond what he could possibly achieve by feigning injury.

Although the beast-like disease had improved by 0.06%, Vann knew that it was still a Damocles' sword hanging over his head.

He was warned that the powerful 'Blood Hunter' abilities would not come without a price.

He turned his head to look out the car window and could already see the outline of Tianjing Village, which had been reduced to ruins in the distance.

Recalling his recent experience here, Van En checked the notification messages and found that after completing the level 3 job advancement quest, a new one had appeared:

[Unique Profession Advancement Quest lv4: Slaughter 100 wild beasts, including 3 high-level beasts, and upgrade the carriage to lv2]

"It's getting harder and harder~"

After making a slight complaint, Fan En checked his gains after leveling up to level 3:

15 free attribute points, and a new class-specific talent:

[Beast Transformation Self-Healing Lv1: The higher your Beast Transformation value, the stronger your self-healing ability, currently at 2 points per minute]

After reading the instructions, Van En remained silent for a moment, then whispered:

"That's a good thing, too."

As for the 15 attribute points, Van En, following his previous plan, added 5 points to Vitality, raising his health to 140, and divided the rest equally among Strength and Agility.

Although he had obtained blood-related weapons and items, he had not yet tried them out. Faced with the upcoming great battle, he still felt that strength and agility were more practical.

Fan En glanced at the time and realized that there were still five minutes left until they reached their destination.

He saw Katya and Rolinza also looking towards Sweet Well Village in the distance, and said in a low voice:

"It's time to prepare for war."

"Okay!" Katya started packing her things.

Lorinsa, meanwhile, was lost in thought, her head bowed. After a dozen seconds, she slapped her forehead and shook the bell on her wrist.

A flash of black light appeared, and for a fleeting moment, you could see the orange's figure.

Lorinsa took out a thick, rod-like object, about 80 centimeters long, wrapped in cloth, and handed it to Van.

"I almost forgot, this is what Frans asked me to bring to you before he left. He admires your hunting style and thinks you're missing a weapon."
