All my hunting commissions come from another world?

Seeing Alicia lying on the ground convulsing, Zhou Si laughed rather unkindly and took out his phone to take a picture as a memento. This precious video footage will probably become a stain on Alicia's life.

He had warned them long ago that even ancient dragons would be affected by the paralyzing gas spewed by the Frog God, let alone Alicia.

"However, this forbidden land is truly extraordinary."

"Is this the Age of Abundance? It's incredible."

Looking at the desert that had become vibrant overnight, Zhou Si's eyes were filled with amazement. No matter how many times he saw the ecology of the Hunter world, it would always amaze him. No matter what knowledge he had, he could not explain such an incredible thing.

"Melo, have you found the energy source you mentioned?"

"No, although the energy fluctuations became stronger after entering the Abundance Period, the source of that energy is not here."

Melo shook his head. They had come out this time to find a usable alternative energy source for Melo.

Back at the base camp, Melo's observation system detected the pulse of a special energy several times. After analysis, this energy could be used as a substitute for spirit power. If the source of the energy could be found, Melo could begin to try to repair the machine.

"Why won't you let me use my survey points to help you with the repairs?"

Zhou Si was somewhat puzzled. The mission to defeat Shesa had given him a large number of investigation points. Although he couldn't completely repair Melo, he could at least restore more than 60% of his abilities.

But Melo simply shook his head, rejecting Zhou Si's suggestion.

“Repairing Melo is not the priority right now, and finding new energy sources is inevitable after leaving Disboard. Zhou Si’s next mission may encounter trouble, so there is no need to use precious investigation points on Melo.”

Zhou Si was touched by the words of the mecha girl. He hadn't expected that Melo would be so considerate of him. For a moment, Zhou Si's opinion of this mecha girl changed.

"Can't you guys do something about me first?"

Alicia's voice sounded somewhat resentful; she was a grown woman lying on the ground!

Zhou Si quickly pulled Ai Li up from the ground. After getting up, Ai Li patted the sand off her body and then looked at the yellow frog with apprehension. Are all frogs in Monster Hunter World monsters? It seems I can't touch them directly with my hands next time.

Clearly, Ms. Alicia did not learn her lesson from this incident.

"By the way, Zhou Si, when are you planning to set off for your next mission?"

Sitting by the stove, Alicia stared at the meat on the grill as she asked a question.

"It should be in the next day or two. We'll set off after Bai finishes acquiring all the equipment in Shesha."

Mentioning the new task made Zhou Si feel her head start to ache again.

【It disappeared】

[Lower-tier 3 stars]

[Client: The girl in the white dress]

[Mission Description: A playful little creature has wandered off to another world. Please help me find it. By the way, because the child is rather timid, you'll have to go alone this time.]

[Mission Rewards: 500 Investigation Points, A Girl's Mysterious Gift]

[P.S.: If the child becomes disobedient, do whatever you want with him/her.]

This was obviously posted by that silver-haired girl. Judging from the task information, apart from the obvious fact that a monster has gone to another world, there is basically no other information. Moreover, it is limited to Zhou Si alone.

As for the lower-tier three-star monsters, just take a look. So far, apart from the quest to find Melo which can be considered lower-tier, the Fallen Beasts, Honkai Thunder Dragon, and Shesa are all more outrageous than the last, with the rewards totaling less than 1000 investigation points, while the compensation has been almost 30000.

"I'm going back in a couple of days too~"

"The holiday is almost over. The Firemoth faction detected an abnormal Honkai energy reaction in a certain town. It's possible the Fourth Honkai Impact is about to erupt..."

Alicia's tone remained light and cheerful, but Zhou Si could not detect any ease in her expression.

Although humanity has managed to handle the three previous major Honkai events, Alicia has a premonition that the intensity of future Honkai events may far exceed their imagination. This latest Honkai event affected the entire East Asian region, with Canghai City and Changkong City almost completely destroyed. How could she be optimistic about this?

Alicia's eagerness to come to this world wasn't just for rest and travel; she also hoped to find a way to defeat the Honkai. However, it seems the people here are also living in dire straits, so it's best not to cause them any more trouble.

Zhou Si understood her worries, or rather, he was the one who knew best how desperate the Honkai world was. Unfortunately, he was also helpless against the Honkai. Thinking of this, he felt more in agreement with the silver-haired girl's words.

"If you encounter danger, send a distress signal in the group. I probably can't help much this time, but if Lao Niao has time, you can try contacting her."

This is a new feature in the Hunter's Book. From now on, any hunter who is connected can visit each other's sites by sending a distress signal.

"That 'Caged Bird' guy is all cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and her strength is no less than mine."

"Eh?"

Alicia looked at Zhou Si with some confusion. Don't misunderstand, she didn't doubt Lone Bird's combat strength, but when she watched them practice in the training ground these past few days, wasn't Zhou Si always being suppressed by Lone Bird?

Zhou Si understood the confusion in Alicia's eyes, and her face immediately turned slightly red.

"I was letting the Caged Bird win, you understand? I admit her weapon skills are a little better than mine, but if I coated my arms with oil, imbued them with battle aura, and unleashed a dragon roar while simultaneously casting a tortoise punch, how would the Caged Bird possibly cope...?"

The boy's blush spoke louder than any words; Zhou Si's mouth was probably harder than Kailong's body right now, the kind that would bounce off a knife if you tried to cut him.

Alicia and Melo couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, after all, Zhou Si only dared to say such things when Lonely Bird wasn't around.

——————————————————————————————

Two days later, Zhou Si had just seen Alicia off when Bai pushed in the familiar cat cart.

The scene of crossing the world last time was still vivid in Zhou Si's mind. She subconsciously took a step back, wanting to get away from this terrifying thing.

He wasn't afraid to jump off cliffs hundreds of meters high, but every time he lay down in this little cat-cart, he would faint. That feeling of helplessness made him a little scared.

"Boss, you can't escape, meow."

With teary eyes, Bai rushed over pushing the cat cart and, to Zhou Si's horrified gaze, shoved him into the other world once more.

End of volume remarks

That concludes the first volume. I am truly grateful for everyone's support, which has enabled me to achieve what I have today.

The author of "Lao" is actually a semi-newcomer. He had only published one book on Tmall before, which was written purely for his own enjoyment during the pandemic (and it has become a black mark on his past). He basically only had a superficial understanding of how to create, and he just managed to get by with his many years of reading experience and a little bit of imagination. During this time, he also made many common mistakes that novice authors make.

Until my dear boss, Mr. xxx, generously opened a treasure chest, my book suddenly received a lot of attention, and a flood of traffic came crashing down on me, which made me very nervous.

But I know that my own level is not worthy of my current achievements. I can only try to read and learn more so that I can gradually grow and not show my readers bad things. This process will definitely not be achieved overnight, so please be patient with me during this time.

The first volume, which serves as the starting point for Lao Zhou's story, has only just begun. The contents of this entire volume have gradually laid the groundwork for Lao Zhou's ideological changes. Next, Lao Zhou's food diary will officially begin!

The recipes will not only cover monsters from Monster Hunter, but also monsters from other worlds, since this book is actually a crossover anime.

Lastly, and just a quick aside, one of my biggest purposes in writing this book is to fill the void left by all the unresolved feelings I had while watching anime and playing games. So this story will definitely have a happy ending. I'm going to swallow all that suffering and sorrow!

Thank you to all the readers for your support! Thank you to editor Pudding for your kindness! Thank you to the boss for your generosity! Thank you to the experts in Group Two for your guidance!

I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you! I like you!

Volume Two: Do ​​You Know the Taste of the Sea? (Sea Heir's Demise)

Chapter 1 I Want to Eat Fish

"Bah bah bah."

Zhou Si, who had rolled off the cat car, spat out the sand that had splashed into his mouth. After riding the cat car twice, his resistance had increased a lot. Although the way he was kicked off the car was still as rough as ever, at least Zhou Si was no longer dizzy.

Standing up from the sand, Zhou Si felt the salty sea breeze gently caressing his face, and the cool seawater reaching his ankles. Looking around, he realized he was standing beside a vast beach.

With a slightly gloomy sky and a faint fishy smell in the air, Zhou Si carefully observed his surroundings. This beach always gave him an eerie feeling.

"I can't tell which world this is at all!"

This place looked like an ordinary beach, and Zhou Si didn't have any useful clues for the time being. If there was anything wrong with it, it was that it was too quiet, eerily quiet.

Apart from the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, even with Zhou Si's hearing, he couldn't detect any other sounds.

"Let's see if there's anyone around first."

Zhou Si shook his head, not intending to dwell on such issues too much. The most urgent task was to find a local to understand the situation in this world. As for the anomalies on the beach, they could investigate them later when they returned.

After retrieving his dark green sword and shield from behind, Zhou Si casually picked up a tree branch and tossed it into the air. Then, he began to move alone towards the direction the branch pointed.

That's right, Bai Youyou wasn't by his side again this time.

However, please don't misunderstand. This time it's not a system error. The mission text really means that only one person can go. Both Merlo, who is a Machina, and Elf White, who is an Elf, were forcibly left in the Hunter world.

Fortunately, their communication remains normal.

Let me eat first: [I've arrived in the new world, safe for now.]

After letting everyone know he was safe in the group chat, Zhou Si quickened his pace. The sky was already getting dark, and he didn't want to sleep outdoors if he could.

......

Perhaps it was because Luck EX finally took effect, Zhou Si hadn't walked for long when he saw a village in the distance. Seeing the smoke rising from the village, Zhou Si immediately quickened his pace and hurried over.

This is a small village, with at most a dozen or so people living there. Perhaps because it is too remote, the village looks a bit dilapidated from the outside, but the dripping fishing nets and the smoke from the village's chimneys indicate that there are still people living in this village.

"It's so quiet here..."

Zhou Si stood at the village entrance with some confusion. It should be lunchtime, and a normal village shouldn't be this quiet.

To avoid frightening the villagers, Zhou Si put the shield axe he made from Shesa materials back into the newly unlocked item box in the Hunter's Book, not worried about any unexpected events that might occur in the village.

After all, Lao Zhou's unarmed combat ability is much stronger than his ability to fight with weapons.

"anyone there?"

Zhou Si knocked on the door of one of the houses, but there was no response. She walked to the side window and peeked inside, but it seemed that no one was home.

After knocking on several more doors and getting the same result, Zhou Si turned his attention to the house in the center of the village. The smoke he had just seen was coming from the chimney of that house.

"Is there anyone?"

He knocked on the door again, but there was still no response. This time, however, Zhou Si was certain that someone was inside.

He caught the extremely subtle sounds of chewing and swallowing, in addition to the pungent smell of fish emanating from the room.

Zhou Si subconsciously pinched her nose and reached out a hand to push open the door.

"I'm coming in, okay?"

Zhou Si politely asked a question into the house, but his feet had already stepped inside.

The lights were off inside the house, except for a sliver of light leaking through the crack in the door of a room at the back, which was also the source of the sounds and the fishy smell.

A bad feeling crept into Zhou Si's heart. He walked to the door and slowly pushed it open.

A hunched man stood with his back to Zhou Si, his hands to his mouth, his shoulders shrugging. He wore some kind of feather-like ornament on his ear and was completely focused on the food in his hands, seemingly unaware of the uninvited guest who had barged into his house.

"Sir, do you need help?"

Hearing the sound behind him, the man who was eating finally turned around. Zhou Si looked at the somewhat ridiculous scene in front of her and sighed.

He probably knows which world this is now.

The man was devouring a deformed four-legged creature. Its tender, sweet flesh, mixed with pale blue blood, was being swallowed by him. Judging from his expression of enjoyment, the monster seemed to be some rare delicacy.

Zhou Si took the shield and axe out of the prop box again. Half of the man's body in front of him had grown the same dark blue scales as the monster in his hand. He was beyond saving.

If Zhou Si wasn't mistaken, what that guy was holding should be a Terrorfish, the lowest-ranking creature in the Sealing race.

The Liberian man ate the flesh of the Terrorfish, and his body has been largely transformed by the Sea-Spirit Cells. It won't be long before he turns into something like the one in his hand.

Zhou Si gripped his shield and axe tightly. He heard rustling sounds coming from the distant shore; something was coming ashore.

With its quiet beach and seaweed everywhere, it's no longer necessary to wonder where this is.

"Iberia...looks like we'll be having seafood tonight."

With a single sword stroke, Zhou Si beheaded the man before him, ending his life as a human being. He then carried his shield and axe out of the fishing village, his vertical pupils gazing at the distant coastline.

The coastline was no longer silent. In sight, blue waves were surging toward the village. Tens of thousands of monstrous fish were crowding toward Zhou Si.

The chorus of voices guided them; the man smelled similar to that guy, and they had to bring him back to the sea.

Looking at the surging waves of sea creatures before him, Zhou Si had no intention of fleeing. If such a large number of sea creatures were allowed to come ashore, who knew how much harm it would cause.

Fortunately, although the wave was huge, it consisted mostly of ordinary dinosaurs, so it wouldn't be difficult for Zhou to stop them here.

More importantly, he was craving fish.

......

Several hours later, Zhou Si looked at the corpses of the terror fish scattered on the ground, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a slight weariness. There were really a lot of these things.

Moreover, cleaning them up is very troublesome. The surviving sea god has brought terrifying adaptability to the sea creatures. These sea creatures can quickly evolve corresponding means of resistance after being attacked.

Fortunately, Zhou Si was more skilled, unleashing a barrage of area-of-effect attacks of various attributes, coupled with the terrifying mob-clearing capabilities of his shield axe and chainsaw, which finally stopped the entire group of Sealings here.
