According to the regulations of Qimeng Paradise, in addition to some necessary equipment, every prospective hunter who has just arrived in paradise must be equipped with a pet Zuma. This creature is similar in size and shape to a frog when it is just born, but it has countless growth possibilities. Depending on its owner's daily teachings and food, it can help its owner in different ways, making it the most reliable assistant for hunters.
Unfortunately, there were only a hundred or so pet Zuma left on this day, but more than four hundred would-be hunters came to report, which was not enough for distribution.
A staff member at the assembly point stood in front of the queue of would-be hunters and shouted loudly: "Now, I will give you the first task. Follow me to the ranch to collect the newly born pet Zuma. The reward is one hundred dream coins and there are no assessment points. , I need twenty people, who can sign up voluntarily?"
A young man asked: "How far is the ranch? Is there a car?"
"It's about 90 kilometers. There are no vehicles, so you have to walk."
People immediately made a sound of disappointment.
"Suosuo, how much is the equivalent of one hundred dream coins?" Yan Xiaocang asked quietly.
Suo Minni curled her lips disdainfully and said: "Dream coins are equivalent to US dollars, which is one hundred US dollars. They are so stingy. They have a round trip of 180 kilometers and two or three days to go, but they only give this small amount of money and there is no assessment. Points, who would be stupid"
Before the girl finished speaking, Yan Xiaocang had already raised his hand: "I'm participating!"
"Why?" The girl was puzzled.
"One hundred dollars is a lot. I'm here just for money. I can't let go of big or small money."
Suo Mingni stamped her foot angrily: "If you need money, I can just give it to you. How much do you want? One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand?"
"Shut up!" Yan Xiaocang glared at the girl coldly, took out the book "Nightmare in Paradise" from his backpack and handed it to the girl, "I'm sorry, I don't think we can be friends. I need money very much, but I don't want to Selling my pride for money.¡±
The girl was stunned. When she saw Yan Xiaocang leaving the queue without looking back, she quickly caught up with him: "I didn't mean anything else. Really, why are you angry? Can't I apologize?"
Yan Xiaocang walked faster and faster. He wanted to be as far away from Suo Minni as possible. Maybe she didn't mean it, but her indifferent attitude towards money still deeply hurt the boy who was troubled by money.
"Report, I will also participate in this mission!" The clear voice of the girl came from behind.
In the end, only eighteen people signed up. Except for Yan Xiaocang who did it purely for the reward and Suo Minni for unknown reasons, everyone else had the same idea: "The reward of the task does not matter. We are new here. We need to have a good relationship with the staff." There's nothing wrong with it. More than a hundred kilometers, whether it's far or close, what does it mean compared to the usual armed cross-country training?"
Because they had to get on the road as soon as possible, the assembly point gave priority to issuing smart terminals to the would-be hunters who participated in the mission. They were surprised when they saw the latest model smart terminal worn on Yan Xiaocang's wrist, but Yan Xiaocang said it was After the old lady at the green quasi-hunter's basic equipment reception desk gave it to him, she didn't say anything, but looked at Yan Xiaocang with something more.
"What is the use of this thing?" Seeing others holding the manual and studying it carefully, Yan Xiaocang was a little depressed. The old lady only gave him a smart terminal, but not the manual, so he could only study it slowly by himself.
In terms of overall appearance, the smart terminal is just a slightly bulky watch. The strap is wide and the rectangular watch is an LCD screen without any buttons. After looking at it for a long time, Yan Xiaocang pretended to be brave and touched the screen with his finger, and the dark screen suddenly lit up. Many spheres of various colors appeared on the five centimeter long and three centimeter wide screen, but there was no text.
"The red button is to detect your physical condition, the green button can call up the map and the coordinates of your location, the blue button is to activate the communicator, which is equivalent to a mobile phone, and the purple" Just when Yan Xiaocang was at a loss, Suo Minni didn't know When did he sneak up next to him, holding an instruction manual and reading it loudly.
Yan Xiaocang tried to touch the green button. The light emitted from the screen formed a map ten centimeters long and ten centimeters wide about one centimeter high in the sky. There was a small golden dot shining in the middle, and in the upper left corner. There is a set of numbers, (0, 0).
"This map uses the log square reported by the quasi-hunter as the origin of the coordinates, so our location is 0,0."
Suo Mingni¡¯s voice sounded in time, and Yan Xiaocang glanced at her, only to find that the girl had stopped reading the instructions and was looking at his smart terminal. When their eyes met, the girl blushed and turned her head at the same time.
¡°The would-be hunters who are going to the farm have gathered, we¡¯re going to leave immediately!¡± A staff member said??yelled.
Looking at the unfamiliar would-be hunters around them, Yan Xiaocang and Suo Minni involuntarily got together again and stood at the back of the queue.
"My name is Southeast Wang, a three-star combat hunter, and I am your captain in this temporary team. The road to the farm is relatively safe, but it is inevitable that some less harmful beasts will appear. Since you can pass the extradition test, you should deal with them. No problem, so if there is no situation that endangers your lives, I will not take action. You should be careful." After saying these words, Southeast Wang picked up his backpack and took the lead to leave the log square.
"Did you see the symbol on his chest? A sword is placed diagonally on the shield. This is the symbol of a combat hunter. The three stars on it indicate his level. If he reaches level nine, the nine stars will form a circle. It's so majestic! The emblem of a Gunner Hunter is a musket. I can wear that emblem in the future. I think it is the most beautiful! The emblem of a Monk Hunter is a cane, so ugly." Suo Minni walked slowly. , kept talking.
Yan Xiaocang seemed to be still angry and didn't say a word, but Suo Minni's words were all heard.
I have heard about combat hunters in magazines before, but Yan Xiaocang didn't pay attention. In his opinion, since the purpose of going to Qimeng Paradise is to hunt monsters and beasts, of course they need to fight. After arriving here, I realized that hunters also have different professions and tasks.
Along the way, Suo Mingni talked about a lot of basic knowledge about Qimeng Paradise, and Yan Xiaocang's complexion gradually improved. In any case, if he still "holds grudge" for Sominni's good intentions, wouldn't he be too stingy?
What¡¯s more, when he was in the bathing city, Yan Xiaocang had long been used to it when he encountered drunken or harsh guests, who spoke and acted even more rudely. It was rare to lose his temper with Suo Minni. He himself didn't understand why he had such a strong reaction when Suo Minni wanted to lend him money with good intentions.
Suo Minni has been keenly interested in Dreamland since she was a child. With the help of her family, she not only collected a large amount of information, but also listened to the true stories told by some retired hunters. Therefore, although Suo Minni is also a quasi-hunter who has just entered, her understanding of Qimeng Paradise is not inferior to that of a one-star hunter who has lived there for several months.
Yan Xiaocang didn't speak, and Suo Minni kept talking to herself. Her physical fitness was very good. The traveling speed of this team was about ten kilometers per hour, which was about twice the normal speed of ordinary people. Look. A girl with a very thin body can easily keep up without affecting her speech.
The history of the emergence of Qimeng Paradise alone can be discussed for an hour.
