Monster Hunter Gathering

Mann also tensed his body, expressing the same sentiment as Dolio.

"That's too much! How can you call this a funny headgear!" Nie Chiwu said dissatisfiedly, "This is a hunter's prized possession! A wiggler eel filled with universal compassion!"

Although he said this, Nie Chiwu still took off his hood and revealed his face.

"It's you!" Mann suddenly became alert.

Nie Chiwu's face left a particularly deep impression on everyone who could enter the afterlife.

He carries a tank of fresh milk to the freak in the next life every day, provoking the Queen Rogue in the next life, and also acts like a good guy in Night City with his men.

"What do you want to do?"

Mann slammed the table, but he still stared at Nie Chiwu. "What do you want us to do? Help an old lady cross the street?"

"It's something about scavengers." Nie Chiwu pulled a box from his pocket and put a cigarette candy in his mouth. "We've been dealing with gang-related items lately, and there are some scattered scavengers that haven't been dealt with yet, so I wanted to entrust some capable people to help."

"Then why did you come looking for us?" Dolio looked at Nie Chiwu, and glanced at David beside him: "And who is this guy?"

"He's the reason I came to you specifically." Nie Chiwu said: "Mann... you should have traded with Gloria Martinez for Sian Westin some time ago, right?"

"That Sian Westin is on him." Nie Chiwu said directly.

But Mann in front of him became furious after hearing this, thinking that Nie Chiwu was provoking him.

The giant hand equipped with a gorilla arm and a projectile launching system grabbed Nie Chiwu directly: "Did you do this on purpose?"

"Listen to me!"

Mann's hand had just been half extended when Nie Chiwu grabbed it palm to palm and forced Mann's arm onto the table.

"His name is David Martinez, Gloria's son. Gloria was in an accident a few days ago." Nie Chiwu held Mann's arm, his expression unchanged as he wrestled with Mann's increasingly powerful prosthetic. "I'm here today to resolve this matter, so I brought him to you."

"What's going on? What happened to Gloria?" Mann, after losing the wrestling match, broke free from Nie Chiwu's hand and asked with some surprise, "What's your relationship with this kid?"

"My mom was in a car accident. There was a gang fight on the road, and she was shot..." David gritted his teeth and said, "She was sent to the hospital, but that hospital is... the territory of the scavengers."

"!" When Mann and Dolio heard David say this, they couldn't help but show sympathetic expressions for a moment.

"Don't worry, we rescued Gloria while we were dealing with the scavengers." Nie Chiwu interrupted the emotions of the two people in front of him and guided them to imagine the relationship between him and David.

"We rescued David's mother, and David has already installed the Sian Westin... I admire him very much." Nie Chiwu spoke completely truthfully: "So I plan to help him solve the problem, starting with the matter of this Sian Westin..."

Nie Chiwu put his hands on the table and acted like a commander. "I don't think giving David money directly is helping him, so what do you think..."

"How about I let David work for you?" Nie Chiwu said, "He's a rare genius."

"Huh?" Mann showed a somewhat reluctant expression. "Do you think this is some kind of nursery? I'm not responsible for educating little brats..."

Before Mann could finish his words, he saw David in front of him disappear for a few moments. In front of Mann, there was already poured wine, a plate of snacks, and even chewing gum sold in the convenience store outside the bar.

"I can do it!" David's eyes sparkled, "I... won't let you down!"

This made Mann stop what he had just said.

Just now, this kid acted like nothing happened... How many times did he use Swanwestin?

"Okay." Mann said in a deep voice, "But... I want to test him!"

"Deal." Nie Chiwu extended his hand. "You won't be disappointed. David is a newly minted genius gunnery king."

Nie Chiwu smiled at Mann: "As for what I want you to do..."

"I just hope that our hunting grounds can be a little cleaner when we hunt!"

Chapter 212 Saburo and Lai Xuan

"You actually sold David out!" In the cafeteria, He Zhen looked at Nie Chiwu in disbelief and shouted, "You scheming Lalai Naiyi! You actually did such a thing! You actually sold our companion to someone else as a laborer!"

"Inhuman! Scum! Demon!" Kazuma shouted, "Down with the unscrupulous leader! Save the innocent new hunters!"

"Damn it! Kazuma! You're contradicting me again! I'm going to kill you today and bury you in the mountains to use as fertilizer!"

Nie Chiwu pounced towards Kazuma like a crow flying in the sky. The two wrestled with each other with their increasingly strong physical fitness after becoming hunters, until David came to the cafeteria in a daze.

"..."

David had a dazed look on his face and sat in his seat blankly. Even when Elu cat served him a sumptuous cat meal, he was still in a daze.

Nie Chiwu and He Zhen were pinching each other's necks on the ground, and they turned their heads to look at David.

"Tsk tsk, it's over." Nie Chiwu raised his eyebrows: "We're trapped."

"It's full of the flavor of being a real person! Damn it... I tried my best!" Kazuma said with tears in his eyes, "But it's this feeling of being one step ahead of others! Wuwuwu..."

"David, how are you doing over there?" Iwatani Naofumi walked up to David and asked with some concern, "Can you handle it yourself?"

"I'm... fine!" David seemed to come back to his senses all of a sudden, and then clenched his fist: "I'm fine! Just leave this to me!"

"Don't worry, just do what you want to do." Nie Chiwu said: "Take care of your own affairs, and don't worry about hunting."

Nie Chiwu let go of Kazuma and patted his chest. "Leave Qilin and the rest to us. Don't worry about it."

"Thank you... Captain." David lowered his head. "It's clearly a mission in my world, but you have to worry about it..."

"You'll be busy in the future," Nie Chiwu said. "I just wonder if our target in Night City has taken the bait yet..."

"Arasaka Yorinobu, Arasaka Saburo or something..."

"With so much going on in Night City, this should be about the time, right?"

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

In a spacious room.

"result."

The elderly man sat in his seat, looking calmly at the researchers in front of him.

"Master Saburo, the ingredients of this potion... our analysis results don't match its actual effects at all."

The researcher lowered his head in fear at the old man in front of him.

The old man in front of him... is the absolute master of the Arasaka Group. Although he is over 150 years old, he is still a monster who firmly controls the absolute power of the Arasaka Group - Saburo Arasaka.

Even though the old man looked so old, the intimidation he exuded still made the researchers tremble with fear.

At this moment... these researchers are studying a... strange drug.

These drugs were obtained from Night City through illegal channels, but the effects of those drugs have already exceeded the imagination of researchers. That is why even Saburo Arasaka was attracted by these drugs.

Saburo Arasaka raised his head and looked at the virtual image in the room, which was currently conducting an experiment on a white mouse.

In the video, one only saw the researcher using the prosthetic knife in his hand to cleanly cut off most of the white mouse's body.

The white mouse, with only its head and front paws left, was rapidly losing its life in the violent struggle. But at this moment, the researcher took out a drop of the green unknown drug and dripped it into the mouse's mouth.

The body of the white rat, which had been cut in half, was now rapidly regenerating. In a way that transcended the laws of nature, the back half of its body quickly grew out of the remaining head and front paws.

The dying mice were also reborn from the brink of death.

"What I want is the result." Saburo Arasaka's tone was extremely calm, but it made the researchers next to him even more frightened.

"The test subject's data before and after has been compared." The researcher reported the test results and experimental data, and said: "The test subject's condition has not been affected. The drug seems to have completely restored the test subject's condition, and..."

The researcher paused and said, "The regeneration of new limbs did not affect the telomere length of the test cells...even..."

The researcher hesitated for a moment before saying, "Some of the test subjects have even shown signs of improvement. Even the length of their telomeres has... recovered."

"Can it be analyzed and produced?" Saburo Arasaka stared at the intact white mouse in the air.

“I can’t…I can’t do it!”

The researcher gritted his teeth and said, "We have thoroughly analyzed the composition of the drug. The ingredients in it, after being synthesized, do not have the same effect as the original product."

"There must be some component that we haven't analyzed, but..." The researcher lowered his head, fearing that Saburo Arasaka in front of him would punish them.

"There seems to be news coming out of Night City recently that some new technology, suspected to be military technology, has been leaked." Arasaka Saburo's eyes gleamed. "How many people know about this drug now?"

"Young Master Lai Xuan has already left for Night City this morning..." another person nearby said, "Also, it seems a new and influential gang has recently emerged in Night City, and the drugs are suspected to have been leaked from their hands."

Saburo Arasaka said, "Have you found out what their background is?"

"No...nothing at all." The secretary beside him lowered his head. "This group of people and the drugs seem to have suddenly appeared in Night City. There was no relevant information leaked before... We are currently trying our best to track them down."

"..."

Saburo Arasaka remained silent.

Arasaka Yorinobu has already gone to Night City, probably because of this inexplicable drug... It seems that he also needs to go to Night City.

"Keep an eye on developments in military technology," Saburo Arasaka instructed his men. "I'm going to Night City now, so I can schedule a trip... Have Adam's Hammer ready, too."

"Yes! Master Saburo!"

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

"That old immortal Saburo Arasaka! Even at this time! He is still dreaming of his immortality!" At this moment, on the way to Night City, Arasaka Yoriki was holding a bottle of recovery medicine in his hand. After thinking of Saburo Arasaka, he punched the armrest of his chair in anger.

Chapter 213 First Encounter with Qilin

The bottle of recovery medicine shattered in the hands of the furious Arasaka Yorinobu, and the glass fragments pierced deeply into Arasaka Yorinobu's palm.

But... Arasaka Yoriki raised his hand and saw that his palm had come into contact with the recovery medicine. The terrifying recovery speed directly squeezed out the glass fragments that had pierced his palm, and even made Arasaka Yoriki feel that the condition of his hand was better than before.

"We must find the source of this medicine before Saburo Arasaka." Arasaka Yorinobu angrily threw the glass fragments in his hand away.

"If Saburo Arasaka really gets this medicine..." Arasaka Yorinobu could imagine the horror.

This drug can completely heal injuries and even seems to be able to achieve rejuvenation...

"Damn it! Bastards!" Arasaka Yorinobu angrily threw things around. "I'll definitely make those guys achieve their goal!!"

"We must... find the source of the medicine quickly!"

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

"Ah...A-choo."

In Night City, Nie Chiwu, who had rested up at the rally and was ready to continue solving the problems of Night City and Qilin, suddenly sneezed.

The sneeze also caused Nie Chiwu, who was driving, to twist the steering wheel, and the car shook violently.

"Captain! Do you have a cold?" Tanjiro sat in the passenger seat of the car and looked at Nie Chiwu with some concern: "Do you want to go back and let Grandma Cat take a look? It would be bad if you get sick!"

"no problem, no problem."

Nie Chiwu rubbed his nose and said, "We are going here to test the waters this time."

"We've been searching for traces for so long, and finally found the specific traces of Qilin for the first time. Shouldn't we go and give it a try?"

"This is a foray into the wilderness! I carefully selected the four of us as the vanguard! Just to see the Qilin's true strength!"

Nie Chiwu adjusted the rearview mirror in the car and saw two people sitting in the back seat.

Naofumi Iwatani and Laos.

The four people sitting in their car are the members who are challenging Qilin for the first time.

"Are we really only going to go with the four of us?" Naofumi Iwatani said, clutching the front seat. "Qilin is an ancient dragon, right? Are we really going to challenge him with just the four of us?"

Iwaya Naofumi said directly: "I think if Xin Meier comes, he can play a greater role."

Nie Chiwu shook his head and denied Iwaya Naofumi: "The first time we opened up the wasteland was to gather intelligence."

"I'm responsible for confirming whether there are any differences between the Kirin and my understanding. Tanjiro uses the transparent world to carefully observe the Kirin's movements. Laos is more attentive to the ecology and may notice things that others may not notice easily."

"And Xin Meier..." Nie Chiwu shook his head: "We can't rely on his powerful strength."

"What does that mean?" Tanjiro asked curiously.

Nie Chiwu also explained: "Xin Meier is like a senior who has reached the complete strength. If you rely on him completely, it would be like xdx who just started as a hunter. From the second mission, he was surrounded by three old guys and brought to the black dragon without even changing his equipment. Then xdx had to deal with the first stage of the black dragon alone, and at this time xdx was still wearing the defense team..."

"To put it in terms that Tanjiro can understand, it's like a new member who just passed the exam and got the Nichirin Sword was taken directly to the Infinite Castle by the nine pillars, and then suddenly encountered a situation where this new member of the Demon Slayer Corps needed to fight Muzan alone... or something like that."

"I understand what you mean." Iwaya Naofumi covered his face with his hands: "I understand."

Naofumi Iwaya really has this experience.

But it’s not the experience of xdx.

Thinking about how useless the other three heroes in his world were, Naofumi Iwatani became more and more worried.

Naofumi Iwatani also decided to find a time to completely defeat those three idiots, and then give them severe special training, at least to prevent those three idiots from harming others.
