I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

'squeak'

I walked up the stairs to the second floor and knocked gently on the shabby wooden door. After a while, there was no response from the door.

"Did he fall asleep again..."

Xier couldn't help but feel helpless. This president would get drunk whenever he had free time.

"Guild leader, I'm coming in."

Xier gently pushed open the door. As she expected, the burly man who served as the union leader was leaning back in a chair and snoring. It would have been fine if the door was not opened. Once the door was opened, his thunderous snoring echoed throughout the corridor.

"Really... you called me over but you fell asleep yourself..."

Xier held her forehead slightly and looked at the guild leader helplessly.

"Hey! Guild Master, wake up!!!"

Walking up to the guild leader, Xier shouted in his ear at the top of her voice.

"Huh? Ah! What's the matter?"

The burly man suddenly woke up, waving his hands in the air wildly. The sudden awakening made him lose his balance for a moment, and he was about to fall to the ground.

But after all, he was very skilled. The guild leader got himself back by just straightening his waist. He took a breath as if he was still in shock, then looked at Xier. His originally serious face softened instantly, and the smile on his face was even a little disgusting.

"Ohhhh! Isn't this Xier? How come you have time to come to my place!"

The guild master laughed out loud, his voice louder than his snoring.

"Really? It was you, the Guild Master, who asked me to come here."

Xier felt helpless and wondered if she had been cheated by the poster girl.

"Me? Oh, yes, yes, I came to find you."

The union leader was stunned for a moment and then nodded quickly.

"Hey, it's true that when people get old, their memory is not good anymore."

As he said this, he reached out to the drawer beside him and began to rummage around.

"Hey, don't stand, come on, sit down."

Seeing Xier still standing aside, the union leader quickly picked up a chair from the side and handed it to Xier.

"Thank you."

Xier gently lifted her skirt and sat on the chair, then asked, "What commission did the guild leader ask me to come here for this time?"

This was not Xier's first time coming here; it could even be said that she came here quite frequently.

As one of the best hunters in the guild, she often receives direct commissions from the guild leader to carry out commissions that other hunters cannot easily complete.

She thought it would be the same thing this time, but she miscalculated.

Hearing Xier say this, the guild leader quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm not asking you to help this time."

As if he had finally found what he was looking for, the guild leader carefully took it out, then placed it in front of Xier and said.

"No, this is for you."

"A letter? For me?"

Xier took the envelope with both hands and was a little dazed. She had few friends here, and she didn't even know anyone other than the residents of Dongdoruma. Who would send her a letter?

Gently tearing open the envelope, Xier took out the letter and began to read.

"To Miss Xi'er Fule'ai, you have been recommended as a member of the fifth group to explore the new world. Please go to the fifth group's gathering place at the East Doruma Port as soon as possible before October 20th. Hunter Guild."

After reading the letter word by word, Xier's heart was filled with waves. This was a letter of recommendation for Xier to go to the New World.

"Wait... Guild Master, this letter..."

Xier's voice trembled a little, and she looked up at the guild leader beside her.

"of course it's true."

"How is it, Xiao Xier? This is the spot that I and others have arranged for you."

The guild leader couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xier's shocked expression. He had thought of Xier's expression a long time ago, but the feeling of actually seeing it now was still different.

"So... I can go to the New World?"

Xi'er was a little surprised. The fifth New World Investigation Team gathered the elites from all over the country to investigate the New World. This work took up almost a quarter of the kingdom's manpower and financial resources. Was it such a difficult task that she was given a place?

"Why not? Then I'll take it back."

The guild leader tilted his head slightly and pretended to reach out for Xier's envelope.

"No! I'm going!"

Xier quickly held the envelope to her chest with both hands and agreed loudly.

"Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't refuse. After all, Meiya has been there for two years."

The guild leader laughed and said, "I knew this day would come. I had already secured your recommendation. It's just that the leader of the fifth group was delayed for a while due to a secret mission in the kingdom, so this thing arrived a little late."

"The head of the guild..."

Xier looked at the guild leader with some emotion. She naturally knew how hard it was to get this spot. This spot was not only a member of the fifth group, but also a member of the recommended group. It could be said that each spot in the recommended group was obtained by people recommended by guild leaders from all over the place after layers of selection. She couldn't imagine how much effort the guild leader had put in for her.

"No! Don't cry!"

Seeing Xier's eyes gradually becoming moist, the guild leader interrupted Xier quickly. He hated to see girls crying the most.

"Although I recommended you for the position, your performance is earned through hard work. Otherwise, it would be useless even if I recommended you. You fought for this position yourself."

"Yeah! Thank you!"

Xier wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

"But to be honest, seeing you reminds me of my old self."

Looking at Xi'er's expression, the guild leader said with some emotion: "I was just as excited as you when I was a member of the first group."

"Eh? Members of the first group?"

Xier, who had just calmed down, was shocked again. Was this president who was often drunk and unconscious really the elite among the elite, a member of the first group who opened up a new world investigation base?

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

The guild leader said with a bit of a smile: "I am the guild leader after all. How can I get this position without any achievements?"

As he spoke, the president took out a yellowed book from the cabinet and handed it to Xier.

"Eh? This is it?"

Xier didn't know why the president suddenly handed her a notebook.

"This is a summary of the relevant matters I spent during those years in the New World. Due to the special nature of the New World, the union does not allow retired members to bring anything back from the New World, but there is nothing much in the notes."

Xier took out the notebook and gently stroked the star logo on it, which was the flag emblem of the first group.

"President, I can't accept this. This is the only medal you won for your struggle in the New World. How can I take it away?"

In an instant, Xier understood the significance of this thing to the guild leader. He was not allowed to take anything back, which meant that the only thing that could witness the guild leader's struggle history in the New World was the notebook in her hand.

"Hey! Don't say that."

The guild leader put the notebook in Xier's hand and said, "The medal of struggle is the scar on my body. This thing is just my essay. If it can help new members better explore the new world, then this thing has a meaning of existence. Otherwise, it is just a note."

"...Yes, I will keep it well!"

Xier couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she looked at the notes in her hand. How could she not know that it was the guild leader who was taking care of her?

"Hahaha, that's right!"

The guild leader laughed loudly, then patted Xier's shoulder with his strong hand.

"Also, when you see Meiya, you must give her a good lecture. She hasn't returned the three barrels of wine she promised me."

The guild leader gently said to Xier, holding Xier's shoulder with a little force:

"The New World is now handed over to you! Go and complete our unfinished business!"

"May the blue star that guides you always illuminate your way forward."

(Edited) Chapter 4 Xier Hehehe My Xier

Noisy sounds and busy people are the unchanging melody of the dock. It seems that there is no rest moment in this port. The workers coming and going unload the goods from the docked ships, piling them up together, almost forming a small mountain.

This is the port of Dondoruma, one of the most prosperous ports in the kingdom and also Xier’s destination.

"What a big port..."

Xier couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the prosperous and busy scene not far away. Apart from the Hunter's Guild, this was the first time she had seen such a lively place. And unlike the liveliness of the Hunter's Guild, the port belonged to the life of ordinary people. This was something Xier had never known before.

"Is this right here?"

Looking at the fleet of ships docked not far away, Xier couldn't help but feel excited, just like a candidate preparing to enter the examination room.

"Can my strength win everyone's recognition?"

Xier thought a little nervously. She had never formed a team with other hunters. She was not very familiar with everyone in the Dondoruma Guild, not to mention the members of the fifth group who came from all over the world.

I heard that the fifth group was specially formed to supplement the combat power of the New World Investigation Team. I believe that those who can participate are very powerful people.

Thinking of this, Xier walked into the dock with a bit of nervousness and anticipation.

However, Xi'er soon encountered her first problem - she was lost. It was not because the terrain of this port was complicated, but because Xi'er found that she didn't seem to know where the meeting place was.

The port was very large and there was no indication of where the gathering point was. Xier couldn't help but feel puzzled as she looked at the bustling port.

"that……"

Xier looked at the worker coming towards her and hesitated before asking. However, before Xier could finish her words, the other party hurriedly walked away with the box.

"Excuse me……"

After mustering up her courage, Xier spoke again, but just like last time, the person left before she could even finish her question.

"This……"

Xier pinched the hem of her skirt nervously. She knew it was her problem. Her voice was too soft and in this noisy port, her voice would be easily drowned out.

"Little sister, are you lost?"

Just when Xier was getting anxious, a young man in casual clothes came over with a cheerful smile, carrying a huge luggage.

"Eh? I'm not lost."

Xier waved her hands quickly, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was the best thing that someone took the initiative to talk to her.

"is it?"

The young man said cheerfully, "Are you lost? I see you've been here alone for quite a while."

"Well... there's a place I haven't found for a long time."

After hesitating for a moment, Xier asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the gathering place of the fifth group of the New World Investigation Team is?"

"Oh?"

The boy was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Are you also a member of the fifth group?"

"also?"

Xier captured the key words in the boy’s words. Does this mean that he is also a member of the fifth group?

"Hahaha. I'm also a member of the fifth group. My name is **Deng. Thank you for your guidance!"

Aiden said cheerfully, extending a hand.

"Please give me your guidance. My name is Xi'er Fuleai."

Xier politely shook Aiden's hand and smiled back.

"Come to think of it, this is the first time I've met a fellow member of the Fifth Corps. And your name is really nice. Hill, right?"

"Um... although I appreciate your compliment on my name, my name is actually Xi'er."

Listening to Aiden's words, Xier said subtly that although she knew her name was difficult to pronounce, it still felt strange to hear others call her name wrong.

"Ah! Sorry, Xi...er?"

Aiden corrected his pronunciation with some difficulty.
