It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 351: A Big Movement
Feng Ling listened to their casual conversation and whispered to Huangfu Miaomiao beside him: "Do you remember it?"

Huangfu Miaomiao's expression froze as she stared at the five people sitting around the stove. "Lin Pengpeng, Li Yu, Zhang Lu, Wang... uh, what's the beauty of Wang?"

"Wang Xunmei, and another one is called Lu Boyi." Feng Ling raised the corner of his mouth, thinking that his memory was not bad, "But this name is weird, Lu Boyi, I don't know which one of them it is."

Over by the stove, a woman said, "It's okay to introduce them again. Anyway, we're not leaving tonight and we're free anyway, so why not have a chat?"

Feng Ling guessed that this woman should be Wang Xunmei, because there were only two girls in the team and the name Wang Xunmei sounded very feminine.

But Wang Xunmei's outfit is more neutral, with short hair, no makeup, a black T-shirt, gray-purple sports pants, a pair of light sneakers, and a mace at hand.

Someone chimed in, "But what should I introduce myself to? Apart from my name and age, there doesn't seem to be much to say... My name is Zhang Lu, Zhang the archer, Lu as in highway, 25 years old. Oh, and by the way... My card is Gray Wolf, and my ability is Wolf Howl, which can increase the attack power of myself and my teammates. Is this an okay introduction?"

The hunter named Li Yu couldn't help but ask: "This ability is very practical, why didn't you sign a contract with Star Hunter International?"

Zhang Lu smiled and said, "I feel a little bit restricted after signing the contract. I heard that the tasks assigned by Star Hunter International are all security tasks, and they require close protection of the employer. It's boring to think about it."

"I don't want to sign the contract either." Wang Xunmei nodded in agreement, "I just want to kill aliens and contaminated bodies, I don't want to serve others."

Lin Pengpeng adjusted his glasses again and explained politely, "Signing a contract does not mean you have to accept a mission. Hunters have the right to refuse. However, if you refuse a mission twice in a row, you will be downgraded in future mission assignments. In other words, the agency will think that your attitude towards missions is relatively negative, so other hunters will be given priority."

"Not only will it be downgraded, it seems that it will also affect the honor points, right?" Li Yu interrupted, "If the points are affected, it will affect the hunter list, so people generally won't refuse the mission."

Wang Xunmei asked: "Hunter rankings? Aren't the points directly issued by the General Supervision Bureau? Then, will those of us hunters who have not signed contracts and do not accept tasks from Star Hunter International also be affected?"

Li Yu said: "No, it is a list set up internally by Star Hunter International. Our contracted hunters have a separate ranking."

Wang Xunmei was a little puzzled. "Why do we need to make a separate ranking list? It's not too troublesome."

Li Yu grinned, "I think it's great. If there weren't this separate ranking list, how would we have a chance to get the first place? Feng Ling is now the number one on the hunter list!"

Wang Xunmei asked him, "Are you number one on the list of contract hunters?"

Li Yu was stunned and slightly embarrassed, "...No."

Then he puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Although we are not first, Lin Pengpeng and I are both ranked quite high. I am 15th and she is 7th."

"Then you are quite amazing." Wang Xunmei exclaimed.

Lin Pengpeng said calmly: "This ranking doesn't mean anything. As long as you take on tasks frequently, your points will increase faster than others, and your ranking will naturally be higher. Star Hunter International set up this independent contracted hunter list, which is actually a management method. It uses artificial means to create differences among the hunter group, thereby increasing the sense of belonging and honor of the contracted hunters."

The five of them were chatting by the fire, while Feng Ling and Huangfu Miaomiao were listening on the roof of the car.

"She knows a lot. Isn't she amazing?" Huangfu Miaomiao whispered to Feng Ling.

Feng Ling looked at them from a third-person perspective, shook his head and replied, "The levels of these people are all about the same, there's no difference."

If the scores of these hunters differ by 60 or 90 points, then Feng Ling's score is 1000 points. In her eyes, these hunters are indeed similar.

"It's a pity that the Taoist priest is not here, otherwise we could take a look at what the cards of these people are." Feng Ling said.

Huangfu Miaomiao curled her lips silently, "He can't climb onto the truck."

Feng Ling gestured to her, "Shh... listen to what they are saying." Among the five hunters, the young man named Li Yu was obviously the most active.

After chatting with Lin Pengpeng, Wang Xunmei, and Zhang Lu, he looked at the last silent team member and took the initiative to talk to him: "So you must be Lu Boyi, right? From now on, I will call you Xiao Lu?"

Lu Boyi is a rather fat and strong man with a thick beard.

In the firelight, his beard looked reddish-brown, and his eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like those of a mixed-race person.

"Hello, my name is Lu Boyi." He shook hands with Li Yu politely, and his stubby fingers wrapped around Li Yu's slender fingers. With a little force, Li Yu's face changed.

"You are so strong! Is your card ability super strength?" Li Yu asked in surprise.

Lu Poyi smiled, shook his head and said, "My card is a squid, I don't have the ability of super strength."

Wang Xunmei couldn't help but interrupt when she heard this: "Squid sounds like a card that should be suitable for use in water, so why would it sign up to be a volunteer?"

Before Lu Poyi could explain, Lin Pengpeng spoke first: "He works for the rescue foundation and can speak the language of Lorias, so the foundation arranged for him to work with us."

Wang Xunmei, Li Yu, and Zhang Lu were all surprised.

Lin Pengpeng asked in confusion, "Didn't each of us receive a document with action guidelines before we set out? Didn't you guys read it?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The three of them looked at each other.

I did read it, but just glanced at it roughly. Those densely packed terms were like the user instructions that pop up when you open a software, making me impatient to read them carefully.

Li Yu forced a smile to liven up the atmosphere, "Haha... I was just thinking about how to negotiate when we get to Lorias if we can't communicate with each other in the language. Now I feel relieved."

Zhang Lu said, "We now have Gray Wolf, Heron, and Squid. What about you two? What are your card abilities?"

He looked at Li Yu and Wang Xunmei.

Wang Xunmei replied readily, "My card is related to strength. It's called Chitie, and it's a monster from ancient myths and legends. It has strong muscles and bones and is extremely powerful."

Zhang Lu and Lu Boyi both showed envious expressions.

"That's amazing. It sounds like it should be a high-level card."

Li Yu smiled and said, "I also have a high-level card."

Everyone looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu was feeling a little proud at first, but when he saw them all looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed. He rubbed the back of his head and explained, "I only had one mid-level card, but... hey, I participated in a tunnel rescue operation a few days ago."

"Ah!" Wang Xunmei suddenly raised her voice, "I know! I heard that many hunters who participated in the rescue operation received cards from Feng Ling. Did you receive one too?!"

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "Yeah, it's also good luck, hehe..."

On the roof of the car, Huangfu Miaomiao was so surprised when she heard this that she couldn't help but gasp.

The noise was a little loud, and the five hunters stood up and were alert! They all looked at the top of the carriage at the same time -
