"The system's goal is to make its master the strongest hunter, meow!"

"Moreover, as long as the master completes the commissions issued by the system, he can increase his hunter level and obtain various rewards."

Upon hearing Zhou Si's words, Bai immediately perked up. It had to prove itself; otherwise, what use would it be if its master could become the strongest hunter just by eating?

The cat's face was full of confidence, which made Zhou Si also become more interested in the commission it was making.

"Explain in more detail?"

Upon seeing this, Bai immediately began a detailed explanation. For the past three years, it had been fantasizing about this moment, imagining itself leading its master to the pinnacle.

Although things have encountered a small mishap, it will not give up!

Bai then turned to the next page of the book.

[Tasks] [Shop] [Other features are under construction]

Several options were displayed on the page. Although the quests and the shop were obviously more important, the third option was simply impossible to ignore.

"It means exactly what it says, meow. More features will be unlocked as your hunter level increases, meow!"

"alright."

Seeing this, Zhou Si stopped worrying and opened the task interface.

The expected abundance of tasks to choose from did not materialize; the task interface was completely empty, with only one task displayed.

"I know, your hunter level isn't high enough, right?"

Zhou Si shut down Bai's attempt to explain; Bai had already learned to answer before Zhou Si could.

Let's turn our attention back to the book and see what this sole task is.

[What a big car!]

[Scattered]

[Mission Description: A giant beast has disrupted the peace and tranquility of the school. To protect the students' safety, hunters are tasked with defeating the beast.]

[Mission Rewards: Official Hunter Qualification, 100 Investigation Points]

"It doesn't seem too difficult. What does 'formal hunter qualification' mean?"

"Master, as a hunter apprentice, cannot improve your hunter rank, meow. You need to complete the qualification quest."

"Survey points are currency that can be used in the store, meow."

Then, at Bai's urging, Zhou Si opened the shop. The goods inside dazzled Zhou Si. They ranged from small smoke balls and poop jewels to all sorts of outrageous props from fantasy works. It seemed that as long as you had enough investigation points, you could buy anything.

100 investigation points are only enough for him to buy 10 poop gems.

Zhou Si shook his head in disappointment, but then, as if he had just thought of something, he suddenly turned to look at Bai beside him.

"Wait, can I use survey points to buy a phone or computer?"

"Yes, meow! And it has internet access, meow!"

"As expected, I was born to become a legendary hunter!"

Upon hearing Bai's response, Zhou Si's expression instantly hardened. All those vague goals in the store were irrelevant; the most important thing now was to get the phone and computer!

As a teenager who has grown up in modern society, it's alright if he doesn't see any hope, but now that he hears that he can buy a mobile phone, he can't live a single day without the internet.

"Xiaobai, let me get ready, let's set off immediately!"

"Okay meow!"

After exchanging a few words, the man and the cat stealthily turned back towards the training ground.

Where did Chapter Eight come from?

"Master, why are we acting so sneaky, meow?"

"Shh, you don't understand, just follow me and that's all."

Zhou Si put her index finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture.

These days, he and the caged bird have become famous in the training ground. It's good that the caged bird is leading the way; if he came back alone, he would most likely be dragged out by that group of craftsmen.

Using the stealth skills he honed in the Ancient Forest, Zhou Si easily evaded the staff who were still near the training ground and made his way to the equipment room next to the training ground.

It's filled with training tools and weapons for novice hunters. While they can't compare to those used by real hunters, they still function properly.

Theoretically speaking, the first mission shouldn't be too difficult, but judging from Bai's previous behavior, it might be reliable, but it's unlikely to be very reliable.

Therefore, we still need to do more preparation.

"I didn't come back to retrieve the katana just to make my debut as a katana master."

"Meow?"

Bai shook its head in confusion, not having heard Zhou Si's mutterings.

"Xiao Bai, keep watch for me."

After looking around for a while and making sure no one was looking their way, Zhou Si nodded solemnly to Bai, then stuck her head into the prop box and started rummaging through it.

Soon, Zhou Si had filled the large bag on his back to the brim, but to his surprise, he did not find the spare training katana after a quick search.

Masaka!

Caged bird, did you even foresee this?

Zhou Si murmured to himself, "As expected of his best friend, his mind is so meticulous."

But Zhou Si is not someone who gives up so easily. There is still some space inside, and the caged bird may have hidden the katana there.

"By the way, who was the person you were mimicking before?"

To be fair, the girl's appearance was quite in line with his sexual preferences, it's just that he wasn't interested in women for the time being.

He only has three goals right now: a cell phone! A cell phone! And a damn cell phone!

"I don't know, meow. It seems like the system accidentally took a picture of this person when it landed with us, meow."

"So this girl is real?"

"Maybe, meow."

After chatting with Bai for a few minutes, Zhou Si still couldn't find any trace of the katana. He frowned, wondering if he had really broken all the katanas.

"Um, how much longer will Master need to search, meow?"

"What's wrong?"

"Because you chose to accept the request directly, we have to set off immediately, meow..."

Bai scratched his cheek somewhat embarrassedly. Zhou Si was shocked. He hadn't found the treasured katana yet, so how could he set off?

"How much longer?"

"twenty three..."

"30 minutes? That's alright."

"twenty three..."

"grass!"

Hearing the countdown begin, Zhou Si stopped abruptly and began frantically searching through drawers and cabinets, but the weapon he longed for remained nowhere to be found.

Behind him, out of sight, Bai pushed a cat cart out from somewhere, silently counting down the days while watching Zhou Si's back as he rummaged through drawers and cabinets with eager anticipation.

Sorry, Master, I'm about to make a mistake!

3, 2, 1...

"0 meows!"

While Zhou Si was still searching for the katana, he heard a powerful shout from behind him, followed by a tremendous force that struck his heel. He lost his balance instantly and instinctively grabbed the hilt of the nearest greatsword.

He was then shoved onto the cat cart by Bai Lian and his sword. With a dizzying sensation, the cat cart crashed straight into a crack that suddenly appeared to the side.

The commotion in the equipment room quickly attracted the attention of others, and coincidentally, the newcomer was Lone Bird, who had just come from the workshop next door.

But when she entered the room, she only saw a messy equipment room and a large bag on the floor.

——————————————————————————————

Chiyu Academy is a historic school located in Changkong City in the Far East. The school has a simple and honest academic atmosphere. From the students' and teachers' open and honest interactions, it is clear that they have a very friendly relationship.

"Hey, what have you been doing here?"

On the rooftop of Qianyu Academy, Zhou Si rubbed his still slightly dizzy head, looking blankly at the obviously abnormal 'humans' below.

He was trying to analyze the current situation with his still somewhat unclear brain. As mentioned before, although Zhou Si hadn't played many games, coincidentally, he was an 88-level veteran janitor.

Although he couldn't tell much from those zombie-like people, he knew those mosquito-like 'beasts' all too well.

Good grief, biological damage has increased significantly, huh?

The huge vehicle mentioned in the mission must be a tank-class Honkai Beast? There are only a few academies in Honkai that you can name.

Zhou Si looked up at the sky. His originally black pupils had now transformed into the vertical pupils of a dragon, easily capturing the purple lightning hidden in the clouds.

Turtle, I hope I won't have another chance to run into Paramecium and her owner? Maybe I'll even witness a domestic violence incident.

Not far from Zhou Si, the training greatsword that Bai had brought was embedded in the wall. Behind the greatsword, a man and a woman were staring in astonishment at the strange person who had appeared out of nowhere.

He was dressed like a cosplayer, and his behavior seemed very strange to the two of them, but they didn't think Zhou Si was some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) fantasist playing some kind of role-playing game, after all, the greatsword was still embedded in the wall.

Or perhaps they've just experienced a collapse, so even if you told them Zhou Si is an alien, they wouldn't necessarily be unable to accept it.

"Mei, shall we sneak away quietly?"

The white-haired boy gestured quietly to the bespectacled girl behind him. The door to the rooftop was only a few steps away from them, and the person in front of them didn't seem normal at all. They should probably retreat first.

Although it's not very safe down there either, gunshots have already been heard from the east side of Mei's school. It must be the people Mei mentioned who have come to pick them up.

"Kevin, he seems to have noticed us."

Mei tugged at her boyfriend's sleeve, and Kevin subconsciously turned his head, only to see Zhou Si staring at them with her mouth agape.

"Holy crap, Kevin the Elder!"

Looking at the white plus and purple pro not far away, Zhou Si exclaimed in surprise.

Damn it! Is this some kind of pre-existing civilization?

Chapter Nine: Where's My Cat?

On the rooftop of Chiba Academy, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and none of the three people seemed inclined to speak.

Kevin shielded Mei behind him, and the two of them watched Zhou Si very cautiously, not daring to make any rash moves. They did not know the specific situation of the strange man in front of them, and rash actions might cause bad consequences.

It seems this person doesn't intend to harm them for the time being, and the Moth Chaser is almost at Thousand Feather Academy. These two defenseless high school students shouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble.

"emmmmm."

On the other hand, Zhou Si...

Because he has only recently returned to human society, to be honest, he has somewhat forgotten how to communicate normally with people.

After racking his brains for a long time, Zhou Si finally uttered a somewhat dry sentence.

"Have you...eaten?"

"Uh, not yet."

"The hour?"

Zhou Si casually took out two pieces of portable food he had swiped from the caged bird from his waist pouch. These were made from the meat of some kind of monster and could provide hunters with a lot of abilities to maintain sufficient stamina during the hunt.

The taste was actually not bad, but Zhou Si preferred to eat freshly made food, so the main purpose of the portable food he brought was to satisfy his cravings and replenish his energy in critical moments, although he didn't need the latter most of the time.

"No thanks."

Clearly, Zhou Si's somewhat abstract way of greeting left the two of them a little confused. Kevin looked at the jerky in Zhou Si's hand and began to wonder if he was being too paranoid.

Mei tucked her slightly messy hair behind her ear, and her tense nerves finally relaxed. After confirming that Zhou Si had no intention of pursuing them for the time being, she sat down leaning on Kevin's shoulder.
