Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 16 New Job
"Since you have become a hunter, your debt to the Federation is naturally written off." Yang Qi said, "In addition, every hunter can receive a very generous subsidy every month. This subsidy is not only money, but also a lot of supplies that cannot be bought with money."

"for example?"

"Firearms and ammunition, restricted drugs... and some of the latest research findings from research institutes."

"Then will you restrict my freedom? A 'dangerous element' like Hunter should not be allowed to walk around the city freely, right?" Sun Hang asked again.

"No, we will not restrict the freedom of hunters." Yang Qi smiled, "We encourage hunters to integrate into human society, which can consolidate their sense of identity with human beings. Of course, we will place a tracker on you to facilitate locating your coordinates at all times."

"Does this thing have monitoring functions?"

"No, besides positioning, its only function is to send an alert to the Bureau of Investigation and the Research Institute when the hunter's strangeness exceeds the dangerous threshold." Yang Qi shook her head, "We will not interfere too much with the hunter's private life. When there is no mission, you can enjoy your life like an ordinary federal citizen."

“Do I need to clock in every day?”

"unnecessary."

"Is the task mandatory?" Sun Hang asked again.

"In principle, hunters will not be forced to carry out tasks, but hunters have task targets every year. If they fail to meet the targets, their welfare benefits will be reduced or even cancelled," said Yang Qi.

"If I can make a living by working, can I just start right away?" Sun Hang shrugged. "You know, screwing in screws on an assembly line is much safer than facing monsters head-on."

"In the past, it might have been okay for you to give up, but the situation is different now." Yang Qi said, "In the attack by the Taotie clone, we lost eleven hunters. Now, including you, there are only two hunters working in Tianfu City... If you refuse to carry out the mission, the monsters will directly invade the residential area, and then you will naturally not be able to stay out of it."

"There are only two hunters in Tianfu City now? So besides me, the other one is that 'humanoid female lizard'?"

Sun Hang couldn't help but recall the scene of that day - the scales, bone spurs and wings that grew from the woman's skin, the thorns and roots that she had torn off with brute force, and the blue-white fireball that almost evaporated the entire pool of blood...

In Sun Hang's eyes, this woman's "tastiest" taste was even better than Bloody Mary... Unfortunately, Sun Hang's appetite for her only lasted less than half a second before it was defeated by an even stronger feeling of nausea.

It was difficult for Sun Hang to describe the feeling. If he had to make an analogy, the woman was like a top-notch dish. However, before the dish was served, the chef sprinkled a lethal amount of coriander on it.

And Sun Hang happens to be the eater who hates coriander.

Sun Hang tried to erase the nausea in the memories from his mind, but at this moment he found that Yang Qi was staring at him with a very strange look.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Sun Hang asked.

"No... I'm just curious, how do you know her private nickname..."

"Nickname?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, "You mean the female lizard..."

"Shh." Yang Qi interrupted Sun Hang and made a silent gesture with her index finger on her lips, "Don't mention this nickname in front of her. In order to maintain her human form, she needs to inject a large amount of inhibitors every day, and the most obvious side effect of this inhibitor is that it makes people's emotions become very irritable..."

"What should I call her then?"

"Tianfu City registered hunter number 115, codenamed 'Night Fury'." Yang Qi said, "You can call her by her codename or her real name, but one thing to note is that when you call her real name, you must call her by both her given name and surname. Don't omit the surname for the sake of friendliness." "Why? What's her real name?" Sun Hang couldn't help but feel curious.

"Wang Xiyi."

"Ah? Isn't that still a lizard?"

"It's Wang Xiyi, not Wang Lizard." Yang Qi took the tablet aside and wrote these three words on the screen.

"Oh, now I understand." Sun Hang nodded. "Speaking of which, what is her ability? What kind of weird thing infected her?"

"I don't know." Yang Qi said bluntly, "The detailed information of each hunter is top secret and will not be made public until he loses control or dies. Only my teacher, the hunter's direct supervisor, and the bigwigs in the federation and the military can view it. I am not qualified."

"Then my direct supervisor..."

"It's me." Yang Qi said, "The relationship between a hunter and his direct person in charge is similar to that between a star and his agent. If you have any questions, just come to me directly. Don't worry about the trouble, because this is my job."

"Then who is in charge of that lizard... Wang Xiyi?"

"My teacher is the director of the Weird Thing Research Institute in Tianfu City." Yang Qi said, "She has been working here for seven years and has completed a total of thirty-three missions, big and small. She is the ace hunter of our Tianfu City."

"Seven years, thirty-three missions... That means, on average, I receive a mission every two and a half months." Sun Hang calculated in his mind, "It seems that the frequency of monster invasions is still very frequent... Especially now that there are only two hunters left in Tianfu City, the frequency of missions will only become higher..."

"I have another question." Sun Hang said.

"Ask whatever you want. As long as it's within the permitted scope, I'll answer all my questions." Yang Qi said generously.

"Tianfu City should be considered as the border area of ​​the Federation, right? Can a big city like this located in the border area really be defended by only two hunters?"

"So this is what you're worried about... You can rest assured. The application for additional hunters has been submitted. The reinforcements sent by the Federation will arrive in Tianfu City within two months at most. As long as these two..."

"Stop." This time it was Sun Hang who interrupted Yang Qi. "If you keep talking, something unexpected will happen."

"Huh?" Yang Qi didn't react at first. After two seconds, she couldn't help but smile, "You still believe this?"

"I'd rather believe it." Sun Hang said, "I have to say, you are pretty when you smile."

"Can I take it that you are teasing me?" There was a hint of playfulness in Yang Qi's smile.

"I was just comparing you with a guy who always has a stern face. You two look very similar." Sun Hang shook his head.

"That's my sister, Yang Lian. She works at the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations."
