All my hunting commissions come from another world?

Chapter Four: Is that you in this photo?

"In short, don't worry too much about your situation. This isn't the first time we've encountered visitors from another world. As long as you don't harm humans or the ecosystem, the guild won't take action against you."

The commander smiled and made this promise to Zhou Si, and Zhou Si didn't realize it until she walked into the room arranged for her.

Is this gone?

He thought there should at least be some restrictions on him.

While feeling relieved, Zhou Si also felt quite incredulous, but ultimately the ending was good, and she could finally feel at ease.

However, Zhou Si should now consider her future plans.

Lying in bed, staring blankly at the sky above, feeling the waves crashing against the shore, Zhou Si fell into deep thought.

'Is it possible to go back? Or rather... do you still want to go back?'

Zhou Si had no attachment to the world he once lived in. Having grown up in an orphanage, he had never experienced the warmth of family, nor had he encountered a peer who would support him or a kind and compassionate elder, as in the novel.

He grew up in an orphanage and, in order to make his future easier, he worked part-time and received government subsidies to get into a good university. He had already given his all to studying and living, and had no time to communicate with others.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that apart from the first few months after he came into this world, which were very painful, he doesn't seem to have any complaints about his current life.

He spends his days eating, sleeping, and hunting. When he's bored, he chats with caged birds or wanders around the New World. As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he's free from the pressure of survival, and this kind of life makes him feel incredibly comfortable.

And to be fair, while the monsters in this world are all incredibly ferocious, they also taste amazing.

Thinking of this, Zhou Si couldn't help but drool a few drops.

Unfortunately, the Hunter's Guild does not allow the unauthorized hunting of monsters, as overhunting would impact the ecosystem and could potentially lead to a major disaster.

wrong!

"If that's the case, then I'll just become a hunter!"

Zhou Si sprang out of bed with a swift movement, her eyes gleaming with intelligence!

Ten minutes later, the lone bird looked at the person and the cat facing each other in her room again, and rubbed her eyes in confusion. Was she under an illusion? Why did she feel like she had seen this scene before?

"Just let me touch it, it won't make you shed fur."

Zhou Si looked longingly at the Palico named Tuanzi huddled behind the lone bird and said somewhat unwillingly.

Hearing Zhou Si's words, Tuanzi shrank further behind the lone bird, making Zhou Si extremely envious.

"Caged Bird, does becoming a hunter grant you a Palico companion?"

Zhou Si recalled the hunters she had met, and it seemed that they all had such a companion by their side, which made her desire to become a hunter even stronger.

"What, you want to be a hunter?"

Lone Bird looked at his friend in surprise. How long had it been? He had refused to contact the Survey Corps before, but now, after meeting the Commander, he suddenly wanted to become a Hunter.

"Mmmmmmm!"

Zhou Si nodded frantically, but Lone Bird didn't agree to him right away. Becoming a hunter wasn't something she could decide, especially since Zhou Si was a special person from another world.

Even the Grand Master couldn't immediately reach a conclusion on this matter; it would probably have to wait until they returned to the Old World to discuss it further.

"I understand, I understand, I won't make things difficult for you."

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

After several dozen days of sailing, the supply fleet finally arrived at the port of the Old Continent. Zhou Si then followed Lone Bird back to the Hunter's Guild without stopping.

After leaving Zhou Si alone at the hotel, Lone Bird went alone to the office of the high-ranking official who had given her the task.

"I've heard about your deeds, so you should know why I called you here today, right?"

Inside the room, a tall man stood with his back to the lone bird. Judging from his physique, he must have been a powerful hunter in the past.

"I know, because of the forbidden land."

The lone bird nodded, and upon seeing this, Fabius began to recount the details of the mission to the lone bird.

In the east of the continent, there once existed a very powerful ancient kingdom, but a thousand years ago that kingdom suddenly perished, and that land became a no-man's land, which was eventually turned into a forbidden area by later generations.

A few years ago, the guild rescued a boy who called himself a member of the Guardian Clan on the edge of the Forbidden Land. His clan lived in the Forbidden Land until one day they were attacked by a monster that might be an extinct species.

This incident caused a huge uproar in the academy. Now, the reason for calling Lone Bird back from the New World is that they hope she can investigate the details there as a hunter in the Forbidden Lands Investigation Team.

"This is Alma; she recommended you."

The intellectual woman with black-rimmed glasses smiled gently, nodded to the lone bird, and then stepped aside to let the boy behind her pass.

"This is Nata, the survivor mentioned earlier."

"Please take good care of me, Alma, Nata."

......

After a brief introduction to them, Lone Bird took a letter from his pouch and handed it to Fabius.

"This is?"

"This is a letter from the Grand Commander to you."

"Oh?"

Fabius accepted the letter with some doubt. He wasn't very familiar with the Grand Master, so what could it be that required him to write to him?

Fabius frowned as he read the contents of the letter.

A being from another world wants to become a hunter? This is no joke, but when he saw the name of that being from another world, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately took out a photo from the drawer.

"Hunter, does this Mr. Zhou Si look like this?"

Lonely Bird was somewhat surprised to see the incredibly clear photograph in front of her, but what surprised her even more was the thin boy in the photo wearing strange clothes, whose face was exactly the same as her wild friend who could wrestle with the golden lion.

Looking at the person in the photo, Lone Bird nodded hesitantly.

"That's exactly what it looks like."

"That's alright then. The guild has agreed to his request. As long as he can complete the hunter training, he can become a full-fledged hunter."

"Eh?"

Now it was the lone bird's turn to be completely confused. Did they agree so easily?

"Someone will tell him the rest, so for now, you will be his teacher."

"What do you think, hunter?"

"I?"

The lone bird slightly opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but when she thought that becoming Zhou Si's teacher would give her a legitimate reason to beat him up, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

"no problem."

The lone bird gave a somewhat strange smile and nodded before leaving Fabius's office.

You like to break my true power, huh? You like to play with my insect-hunting moves, huh?

Lao Zhou, oh Lao Zhou, now you're in my hands.

Chapter 5 The ditch's xxxx is still chasing me!

"You call this thing a dragon climber?"

In the training ground, Lone Bird's lips twitched as he looked at Zhou Si, who was holding half a training katana. For a moment, the entire training ground fell silent.

Two days have passed since they explained the situation to Lord Fabius. Because the investigation of the Forbidden Land still requires a lot of supplies, they will stay at the guild for a few more days.

This period of time can be used to familiarize Zhou Si with the weapons used by the hunters.

Because of Zhou Si's unique abilities, physical fitness, which is the most important thing for novice hunters, is not a problem for him at all. Whether it is a heavy weapon like a greatsword or a hammer, or a weapon like a switching axe or shield axe whose center of gravity changes after transformation, they all seem to be as light as a feather in Zhou Si's hands.

This is undoubtedly a huge advantage, allowing Zhou Si to maintain sufficient mobility and agility even when using heavy weapons. While other hunters need long periods of training and skill to wield a greatsword, he can simply use a powerful flying brick.

Even a lone bird couldn't help but feel a little envious of his unique advantages.

However, everything has two sides. While God gave Zhou Si a powerful physique, it also made him less able to control his own strength. For a time, he found it difficult to exert his power as precisely as Gu Niao.

This made it difficult for him to learn some special skills.

"Big Brother, when you ascend to dragon form, can you at least check if you have any energy blades?"

Even the lone bird was so angry at the savage in front of him that it started speaking in dialect. Although Zhou Si had changed into normal training clothes and tidied up his hair that he hadn't taken care of in the New World, revealing his handsome face, he had even attracted the attention of many girls in the guild recently because of his good looks.

However, once Zhou Si got together with the lone bird...

Her inherent air of a street hustler from New World Street could no longer be concealed, and her reputation began to take on an abstract meaning.

But none of that is the most important thing. The important thing is that this guy is perfectly normal when he learns other weapons, but once he puts his hand on the katana, his intelligence seems to vanish into thin air, and he does things that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

For example, the current bladeless dragon ascent.

Qi cultivation is the most core and important skill for hunting katanas; without Qi, a katana cannot do anything.

After novice hunters complete the basic training in Qi cultivation, they can accumulate Qi while attacking, and then attach the Qi to the blade of the katana to increase its power.

At the same time, only after obtaining the spirit blade can one use the most stylish technique of the katana swordsman - the spirit blade heave cut!

This is the Dragon Ascension Sword that Zhou Si talks about every day.

“Caged bird, I can’t wait that long.”

"And as long as I jump high enough and have enough strength, I can keep climbing the dragon!"

Zhou Sizhen spoke with conviction, as if the training katana he had broken in two did not exist. At this moment, Gu Niao wished he could travel back in time and strangle his past self.

"Air blades are not just for increasing power, but also a means of protecting the blade..."

"The katana in your hand is crying out in pain!!!"

The lone bird could no longer hold back, picked up the one-handed sword that was placed aside, and rushed forward.

Half an hour later, Zhou Si, covered in bumps, squatted down next to the training stakes and started drawing circles. Gu Niao wiped the sweat from his forehead, let out a long sigh of relief, and released a lot of the pressure and resentment that had been building up in his heart.

"You idiot, can only have one of your brains or your katana at a time, huh?"

The lone bird finally couldn't help but complain.

"Hmph, you just don't understand, do you? For us katana warriors, being cool is a lifelong pursuit!"

Although Zhou Si got a beating, he was generally happy. He hadn't been sleeping well for a while because of his health issues, but now it seemed that his worries had been in vain. The guild not only didn't intend to arrest him for research, but even treated him exceptionally well.

Not only did they bring in Lone Bird, an elite hunter, as his teacher, but the guild also covered his expenses during this period.

"Does that Lord Fabius have some kind of unusual fetish?"

Zhou Si looked at the lone bird with some wariness. It was hard not to have wild thoughts about a man being so kind to him.

"Stop overthinking it, just focus on training..."

Having stopped Zhou Si's unfounded speculations, the image of that incredibly clear photograph flashed through Lone Bird's mind again, fueling his curiosity about the mysterious being mentioned by Fabius.

Forget it, let's not think about these things for now.

"Zhou Si, you should practice with dual swords for now. You are not allowed to touch the katana without my permission."

"What?! Caged bird! Why?!"

Zhou Si's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing Gu Niao's words. His expression was filled with disbelief. What was the difference between not letting him touch the katana and taking his life?

“You’ve broken more than ten training swords in the last two days, and I’ve paid for them all. The blacksmith is already very unhappy about it.”

The lone bird gave Zhou Si a look that seemed to say, "Do you want me to continue?" Upon seeing this, Zhou Si's momentum faltered instantly, and his tone became deflated.

"I see..."

Today's victory or defeat is Lao Zhou's defeat!

Unable to refute Lone Bird's words, Zhou Si resolved to work hard to earn money and become a master swordsman! He couldn't let a few cents hold him back.

That concludes today's training session.

Zhou Si waved goodbye to his friend and cheap master, Lone Bird, and hummed a song as he walked towards his temporary residence. He was to set off for the Forbidden Land tomorrow, and he wondered what the monsters there would taste like. These past few days, he had been eating farmed animal meat, and neither the energy it contained nor the taste was as good as his 'old friends' in the New World.

Just as he was reminiscing about the taste of those 'old friends', a melodious female voice hummed an unknown tune, which reached Zhou Si's ears from not far away. Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Si froze on the spot.

Because the melody the woman was humming was the second half of the song he had just hummed.
