All my hunting commissions come from another world?

The lone bird was speechless and choked with emotion. In the end, she swallowed her grievance and decided to retaliate tenfold in the course of her studies. Since she became Zhou Si's teacher, this kind of interaction had almost become a daily occurrence.

At this moment, Alma and the others also stopped their ship. The scholar from the Star Team next door immediately came over, looking at Zhou Si with shining eyes.

"Was that a dragon roar just now? How did you do that? And that kind of power should only be achievable by Tigrex species. Are you even human?"

A barrage of questions came from the scholar's mouth, while Zhou Si just smiled mysteriously and then immediately hid behind the lone bird.

"I am still just a hunter apprentice. Sir, please consult my master if you need anything."

Upon hearing this, the lone bird's eyes widened. Then, under the scholar's expectant gaze, it stammered for a long time without being able to say anything coherent. In the end, it could only kick Zhou Si's shinbone with a hint of shame and anger.

"hiss--"

Zhou Si gasped in pain. This was bad; the caged bird seemed genuinely angry.

"Are you OK?"

The reliable older sister Alma had already arrived in front of the girl and was comforting the still sobbing child.

"...Save...my brother."

"elder brother?"

Alma listened to the girl's intermittent voice and caught the key words in her words.

"We were practicing riding the Heron Eagle Dragon... and then those monsters suddenly appeared."

"My brother is all alone..."

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, and her choked voice was filled with worry for her brother.

Do you know where your brother is?

"The Heron Eagle Dragon remembers its brother's scent; it will surely find its brother."

"Let's go look for it."

The lone bird had already retrieved its greatsword and spoke to Alma.

Seeing this, Alma turned to the others and handed the girl beside her over to them.

"You all go set up camp first. I'll go with the hunter to rescue her brother. Mr. Zhou Si, would you like to come along?"

Alma hesitated. She hadn't had much contact with Lone Bird's apprentice. Although she had learned some information about him from the guild, she had never taken the initiative to interact with him.

The main reason is that his reputation in the guild is really too strange, especially among the artisans, who have even posted signs saying that Zhou Si and the Fang Beasts are not allowed to enter.

"You guys go ahead, Caged Bird, may I leave the group for a little while?"

"Okay, remember to go back to camp afterwards. If you can't find it, fire a signal flare and we'll send someone to pick you up."

Seeing that Zhou Si's expression was a little strange, the lone bird immediately understood what he meant and nodded to him.

After Lone Bird and Alma rode away on their Heron Eagle Dragons, Zhou Si looked at the things he had casually grabbed while he was in the field.

This should be a section of cable, with some kind of liquid residue on it. Zhou Si stuck out his nose and smelled it. The smell was very unique, and it was not blood or anything like that. Moreover, this liquid contained some kind of strange energy. At least Zhou Si couldn't tell what it was.

Ultimately, however, this shouldn't be something that would appear in the Monster Hunter world. Zhou Si subconsciously opened the Hunter's Book to see if there were any changes.

Investigating Unknown Extraterrestrial Life Forms

[lower one star]

[Reward: 200 Survey Points]

"yeah?"

Zhou Si looked at the phone in her left hand and the cable in her right, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

What's going on? How did I become an extraterrestrial life form just by burrowing underground?

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Frog Doll Costume (Confirmed)

How do you accurately locate something in a vast desert, especially when there are no clues other than a single cable? That's where the Hunter's Guild comes in.

Of course there is a way!

Zhou Si's lips curled into a smirk as she took out a small jar from behind her and gently unscrewed the cap.

Countless tiny creatures emitting green fluorescence poured out of the jar. Zhou Si handed the cable to the glowing spots. After a brief pause, the glowing spots flew off in one direction, and Zhou Si immediately followed them.

These tiny dots of light are actually creatures called guide worms. Hunters use them to find prey or other materials. As long as an individual's information has been recorded by a guide worm, these little guys can accurately locate it even from a great distance.

Scattered oases dot the folds of the desert, with low shrubs and moss clustered together, providing temporary shelter for migrating creatures. Yellow sand swirls in the wind, and although it is a desert, the ecology here is not barren.

Zhou Si followed the guide insects deeper into the desert. Along the way, the guide insects discovered many things that looked like mechanical parts, which were obviously left behind by that unknown being.

"Bai, do you know anything?"

Zhou Si looked at the parts in his hand and summoned Bai from the Hunter's Book.

Bai was dressed in blacksmith's clothes and holding a hammer that was half its body tall. It had been forging a new weapon for Zhou Si these past few days, which was why it had been staying in the book.

"I don't know, meow."

Bai looked at the parts and shook his head. It existed as a guide to the Hunter's Book and a collaborator with the hunters, and it truly knew nothing about the tasks issued by the book.

"How are the weapons?"

"Is my precious katana ready?"

Zhou Si's face was full of anticipation, but Bai's body trembled involuntarily when he heard his question.

"It's basically in the final stages... but..."

Bai hesitated a bit, but Zhou Si didn't think too much about it and just patted Bai's head.

"Then you can go back to your work. I can handle things here myself."

Zhou Si waved his hand and sent Bai back. Its only task now was to help him make the equipment. His katana spirit was already thirsting for more!

Meanwhile, the guideworms had gathered enough information, and they coalesced into a bright ball of light, flying straight in one direction.

What appeared before Zhou Si was a small oasis, but before he could get close, he heard a voice coming from the direction of the oasis.

"Help! Someone please help me! Help! Someone please help me..."

It was a somewhat immature female voice. Her voice was very weak at the moment, but this weakness did not refer to her condition, but simply to the volume.

Upon hearing the cries for help, Zhou Si instinctively sped up and ran in that direction, but when he found the source of the sound, he froze.

A strangely behaving frog was writhing around with its back to him, and if Zhou Si wasn't mistaken, the faint female voice seemed to be coming from inside the frog's stomach.

"what?"

Zhou Si subconsciously uttered a questioning sound, which was immediately noticed by the entangled frog.

The frog shifted its plump body and turned around, revealing its bulging belly and blood-red eyes to Zhou Si.

And his stomach was still bulging.

Roar--

In extreme pain and anger, the tangled frog let out a shrill roar. "You're already in so much pain, why are you still attacking me? You bastard, Hagi frog!"

Zhou Si was clearly not going to suffer a defeat at the hands of a tangled frog; monsters of that level no longer posed any difference to him.

All he had to do now was pull the creature that was suspected to be the mission target out of the big frog's belly.

Zhou Si's chosen method, of course, was to use his super muscles!

With Zhou Si'ai's pounding and the entangled frog's efforts to 'cooperate', the 'thing' that the entangled frog had swallowed finally poked its head out.

"Help! Someone please help me—"

To Zhou Si's somewhat horrified gaze, the head that had emerged from the belly of the entangled frog emitted the same cry for help that Zhou Si had just heard.

"Forget it, let's save them first."

Although the scene before him caused Zhou Si's mind to freeze for a few seconds, he still decided to save the unknown creature first.

......

After some effort, Zhou Si finally managed to rescue the target from the entangled frog's mouth, and at that moment, he could finally see the creature in front of him clearly.

This was a short woman with short, sky-blue hair that fell to her ears. Her crimson pupils stared straight at Zhou Si, and her youthful face was expressionless.

She was not wearing any clothing; instead, her body was covered by exposed mechanical structures. On the left side of her head was a mechanical disc that resembled a hair ornament, and behind her, two tail-like cables hung straight down to the ground.

Well, to be precise, it's actually one and a half cables. One half of the cable has been cut in half, and the other half is currently in Zhou Si's bag, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

"Uh, hello?"

Looking at the silent girl in front of him who was clearly not human, Zhou Si tentatively greeted her.

Upon hearing Zhou Si's voice, the girl lowered her head, and the disc beside her head began to glow. After the light subsided, she raised her head again to look at Zhou Si and uttered an inorganic voice.

"Thank you, unknown individual, for your rescue of this machine."

"Questions: Where is this location? Why has this unit lost its connection with the linked entity? Why can't we sense any spirits here...?"

"Take a break and let's address each question one at a time."

The mechanical girl bombarded Zhou Si with questions, prompting Zhou Si to quickly stop her.

"First of all, this is no longer your original world."

Looking at the completed missions displayed in the Hunter's Handbook, Zhou Si answered the girl's three questions in one sentence.

"Now that I've answered your question, it's your turn to answer mine, okay?"

"Answer, reasonable demands."

"A question: basic information about this world."

"Wait, that didn't count as an answer!"

Zhou Si stared blankly at the mechanical girl in front of him. Would robots really pull this kind of stunt? But the girl just stared at him expressionlessly, so Zhou Si eventually gave up arguing with her.

However, Zhou Si didn't dwell on it too much. He had originally planned to give this guy a basic lesson in common sense, even though his common sense was also quite poor.

"It's my turn to ask a question. Who are you?"

After spending some time explaining some basic facts to the girl in front of him, Zhou Si asked curiously, "From the very beginning, I felt that the girl in front of me looked more and more familiar, or rather, I felt that her outfit looked more and more familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I was looking."

The girl's reply rang out, and the contents of her words unlocked Zhou Si's long-sealed memories.

"The answer is that the machine's number is Bt7274Se01s392, which is observation body number 7274 of the b-connector."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Deliberately Unleashed a Fist

Zhou Si looked at the mechanical girl in front of him. If he remembered correctly, the girl in front of him should be a machine girl, a member of the same race as Shiro from No Game No Life.

But it's not just her identity; Zhou Si also found her number quite familiar.

"Question: Does the unknown entity know how to return this machine to the link?"

The girl's eyes were fixed on Zhou Si, but unfortunately, Zhou Si currently had no way to send her back.

The only world Zhou Si can currently visit is the Collapsed World. Unless she gets a commission from their world later, she has no way to obtain the coordinates to their world out of thin air.

"carry..."

The machine-type girl wanted to ask something more, but after the mechanical disc on the side of her head flickered a few times, she suddenly went limp and collapsed.

Zhou Si reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her from getting a mouthful of sand.

"Are you ok?"

"Reply: This machine is running low on power and is about to enter hibernation mode. Hibernation countdown: 30, 29..."

Looking at the mecha girl in his arms who had already started counting down, Zhou Si sighed deeply, and then used the 200 investigation points he had just received to buy her enough energy to keep her moving normally.

"Thank you, this machine's favorability rating towards the unknown individual has increased by 30%."

"Thank you..."

Isn't this machine a bit off? In Zhou Si's memory, the machine types before the end of the great war should all be machines without any emotions, like Shiro at the beginning.

For some reason, Zhou Si always felt that she could see a hint of cunning in the inorganic face in front of her.

After helping the machine-type girl up, Zhou Si looked at her with some difficulty. Should he just take her back to the Hunter's Guild? There was no response in the Hunter's Book, and the investigation mission had already been completed the moment he found her.

"Question: Is the thinking of an unknown individual relevant to this machine?"
