All my hunting commissions come from another world?

"I'm fine. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Qian Jie nodded somewhat coldly. The people here hadn't treated him badly, but his years of wandering and their overly obvious help made him feel uneasy.

After all, the gate to this new training ground was only recently erected temporarily, and a security booth was specially added for it.

"You should already know about the interdimensional gate. If you want to go back, I can send you back to your original world right now."

"...Can."

After a moment's pause, Qianjie agreed.

This place is nice, but he clearly doesn't belong here; this is not his home.

"If you don't really want to go back, how about you do me a favor?"

As if Zhou Si had 'read through' his thoughts, he continued.

"You know the hunters are all very busy, and Rhodes Island isn't exactly short-handed either..."

Zhou Si's expression seemed somewhat 'unable to speak'.

"A sanatorium will be built here in a while, and some children suffering from Honkai and Originium will be sent here."

"The nursing home is short of a mover to help with chores. Would you be interested?"

As if afraid of being rejected by Qianjie, Zhou Si quickly added.

"The benefits are negotiable. Our investigation team is one of the Hunter Guild's flagship projects. If you're willing to join, we'll arrange the highest level of social insurance and housing fund benefits, and we'll also provide you with an employee dormitory in the sanatorium."

"80 square meters with a private bathroom, and annual additional..."

Seeing that Zhou Si was about to continue speaking, Qian Jie, who had already made his decision, interrupted him.

"I agreed."

Looking at the masked man in front of her, Zhou Si could no longer suppress the smile on her lips.

Volume 5: Tokyo Dinosaur Chronicles! (Dragon Raja)

Chapter One: Busy, Everyone's Busy

The long-awaited period of desolation has arrived again. Yellow sand lashes against the walls of the base camp in the desert. Zhou Si sits on the roof of the base camp, gazing at the distant land, his face filled with loneliness.

"Busy, everyone's busy, being busy is good..."

Zhou Si took out the thermos from her pocket, took a small sip of cola, and spat out the sand that had flown into her mouth. She looked in the direction of Yongyou Valley with a touch of melancholy.

It resembles a statue of a woman waiting for her husband.

No, he's the man.

Three days have passed since Zhou Si returned from the New World. Because various teams are in charge of the investigation in the Forbidden Lands, Zhou Si has actually had a real vacation.

After all, Zhou Si's nominally new team only had two real members: himself and Melo.

Meanwhile, Melo is currently in the New World researching the energy circulation system within the Crimson Dragon's body. Will this help repair her system?

Thus, Zhou Si was left alone in the sealed-off area.

“Brother Zhou, don’t stay on the roof. The Bird Team won’t be back for a while.”

A passing hunter called out to Zhou Si, his voice full of teasing. His affair with Lone Bird had already spread throughout the entire investigation team, and teasing this young man with a skin thinner than paper had become one of the hunters' entertainment activities from time to time.

Fortunately, the title of "Miracle Man" hadn't reached the Forbidden Lands yet, otherwise Zhou Si might have smashed his head against the newly built gate of the Sand Plains base camp.

"Go, go, go do your own thing."

Zhou Si waved impatiently and jumped off the roof amidst the hunters' cheerful atmosphere.

"Lone Bird and the others are still searching for the Guardian's village, Little Mute is also investigating in the Guiding Lands, and Dr. Mebius and the others are confronting the Firemoth."

"It seems the doctor has recently moved to Victoria; he hasn't been online in the group chat for a long time."

Zhou Si counted on his fingers and finally realized that he was indeed the only one who had nothing to do.

When she was busy, she always thought about taking a vacation. Now that the vacation had actually arrived, she felt uneasy all over. Zhou Si was suddenly a little scared.

Could he be the legendary innate physique of a cow or horse?

Don’t do that kind of thing!

"Never mind, let's go check out the cafeteria, I'm a little hungry."

"I heard that the chefs from Rhodes Island's logistics department came over for an exchange and learning session. Maybe they have some good food."

The new champion of the New World Eating Contest said this.

Just as Zhou Si was about to stroll slowly to the cafeteria, the Hunter's Book suddenly flew out, and Bai, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, jumped out of the Hunter's Book.

Bai has been busy with the construction of the assembly area these days. Apart from asking Zhou Si about her preferred decoration style, Zhou Si hasn't seen it at all.

Now that Bai has suddenly appeared, could it be...?

"Boss! The meeting place is finished, meow!"

Bai hopped over excitedly, its voice full of joy. Its white fur was still covered with dust and debris, and the helmet on its head indicated that Bai had run out as soon as the meeting place was completed.

Zhou Si rubbed his white head without any disgust.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaobai. Now, take me to see the meeting place."

Just when Zhou Si was wondering what to do, Bai appeared. Zhou Si had indeed been looking forward to this gathering area for a long time. If this place is built, then everyone in the link can gather at the gathering place from time to time.

Previously, Azure Star and Lonely Bird, who couldn't teleport because they were in the same world, could now directly reach him through the Gathering Hall.

However, this method still has a drawback: they would have to go back on their own.

However, Zhou Si had already come up with a solution. Anyway, with his speed, it would only take him a little over an hour to fly from the Forbidden Land to the New World. He could simply be the mode of transportation.

After consuming the materials from the Safi'jiiva dragon, Zhou Si no longer needs to worry about energy under normal circumstances.

"Boss, you can just select the Gathering Hall in the Hunter's Book and go in, meow."

Following Bai's guidance, Zhou Si opened the Hunter's Book. The previously grayed-out Gathering Hall area had lit up, but there was no response after Zhou Si clicked on it.

"Xiaobai, I pressed it but nothing happened?"

Zhou Si looked down at Bai with a strange expression, and then his expression changed.

Bai, looking apologetic, suddenly grabbed the handle of the cat cart that Zhou Si knew so well, and pushed it over while muttering to himself.

"Boss, just bear with it, it'll be over soon, meow."

"Little Bai, you ambushed me..."

Zhou Si looked at Xiao Bai in disbelief, but before he could finish speaking, he was thrown onto the cat cart.

----------------

When Zhou Si opened his eyes again, he was already sitting in a very soft beanbag chair. The chair, made of some unknown material, seemed to be sucking his soul in. Zhou Si could even feel a force massaging his body.

Zhou Si struggled to escape from the terrifying beanbag chair, finally having the chance to take in her surroundings.

He was standing in a very homey living room. It was called a meeting place, but it was more like the house Zhou Si had dreamed of.

The small living room was simply furnished with a coffee table and sofa chairs. An oversized television hung in the center of the room, with several game consoles that Zhou Si recognized very well. These were things he had once dreamed of.

Besides the living room, there are several bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Apart from his own bedroom, the other bedrooms are not decorated much.

The most eye-catching thing in his room was a photo wall, which had many photos that Zhou Si missed very much.

Zhou Si fed Thunder Dragon X, ate barbecue with Isamara the Prison Bird on the coastline, strolled around Dusk Street with the Little Snake, and fought with Frozen Peak Dragon and Fatalis...

The events of the past flashed before Zhou Si's eyes, and her emotions began to fluctuate.

"Boss, are you satisfied, meow?"

Bai came out from the side and, taking advantage of Zhou Si's absence, groomed its fur. Now it was clean and white again. Zhou Si took the opportunity to grab it and rub it hard.

"I am very satisfied."

This was a surprise that Bai had never mentioned to Zhou Si, and he was extremely satisfied. However, Zhou Si still had some other questions: "But this shouldn't be used as a gathering area, right?"

If I had to say something, it wouldn't be wrong, but this room and the assembly area just don't seem to fit together.

"Boss, you'll see for yourself, meow!"

Bai kept Zhou Si in suspense, leading her to the entrance hall before opening the door to the house.

The door opened, revealing the outside world to Zhou Si.

What came into view was the azure sky and the sea, with several pterosaurs flying overhead and huge trees reaching into the sky in the distance. This extremely familiar scene made Zhou Si speak subconsciously.

"New World?"

"That's right, meow!"

Zhou Si's impression was correct; the exterior here was a one-to-one replica of the New World, and the gathering area was located in the original Star Gathering Hall.

However, the massive complex that had been built by generations of researchers from the New World Survey Team was now being replaced by new buildings.

The house where Zhou Si was just now was just his residence; the real gathering area is outside.

The current assembly area is not very large, mainly consisting of the central assembly hall and the adjacent training ground.

"If needed later, the boss can freely expand it, meow!"

Bai spoke as he led Zhou Si on a stroll through the assembly area.

"Is it free?"

Zhou Si's question made Bai pause for a moment, and after a few seconds it replied somewhat guiltily.

"Expansion...Expansion requires investigation points, meow."

However, Zhou Si had no complaints, as he was already quite satisfied with the current gathering area.

The current meeting place is decorated in a hunter's style. Although it is located on the coast, it still uses wood. As Zhou Si walks through the meeting place, he can smell the fragrance of wood at any time.

Stepping into the meeting place, in addition to the very hunter-style furniture, it is also filled with all kinds of very modern equipment.

Although the style was a bit out of place, Zhou thought to himself that no one could resist a refrigerator or air conditioner, right?

Sitting at the long table in the center of the assembly hall, Zhou Si felt satisfied, but looking at the empty seats below, she couldn't help but feel a little down.

Sigh, if only someone were here right now.

The lonely old man, Zhou Si, sighed sadly. Sure enough, he still couldn't stay idle.

"Bai, how much do you know about the specifics of the gathering mission?"

Opening the Hunter's Book, its contents were displayed on the large screen in the meeting hall. Bai, who had changed into a scholar's robe from the Dragon Academy at some point, walked in front of the screen holding a pointer.

"Ahem, let's continue from where we left off last time, meow."

As mentioned last time, Gathering Quests are requests collected from other worlds by the Hunter's Book. Therefore, unlike quests directly issued by the Hunter's Book, the information provided by Gathering Quests depends entirely on the person making the request.

"So, boss, you need to carefully distinguish. Although the Hunter's Book will give a rough rating, it can only serve as a reference. After all, the Hunter's Book doesn't know the client's specific situation, meow."

"Let's take this task as an example, meow."

[Helping a poor girl escape from captivity]

[lower 2 stars]

[Mission Details: I want to leave here.]

Bai pointed to the simplest task, which contained virtually no information. Apart from the fact that the client was likely the girl, Zhou Si couldn't discern any other details.

"Although the difficulty is only 2 stars (lower tier), but..."

Bai gave an awkward laugh and didn't continue. Those who know about the Hunter's Book's mission ratings understand what they mean; Zhou Si wouldn't believe a word of it.

"Isn't there any other way to obtain mission information?"

"Some are bosses, some are meows!"

While the Hunter's Book is unreliable, it's not that unreliable.

"The Hunter's Book can provide you with the client's contact information. Boss, you can contact the client first, meow."
