All my hunting commissions come from another world?

So much has happened during this period that even though she can be considered a genius to some extent, the dual torment of body and mind has left her somewhat exhausted.

Kevin looked at his girlfriend with some heartache. So many things had happened so suddenly, and he didn't know what was happening in the outside world. He wondered if Su had made it to a safe place.

He silently prayed for his lost brother, but then his stomach suddenly growled.

The collapse occurred in the morning, and almost four hours have passed since then. He and Mei have been running away and haven't eaten anything, so they are indeed getting hungry.

Especially Zhou Si, who was quietly munching on jerky.

'Ah, how should I strike up a conversation with Old Man Kevin and the others?'

'Won't I scare them off if I'm too outgoing? They seem quite cautious.'

Zhou Si tore into the jerky bite by bite, thinking with some distress. After all, it was quite rare to encounter a character you liked after transmigrating, even if it was just a mission request.

Zhou Si didn't have any particular thoughts. Bai had told him that he would usually return to the Hunter world after completing the mission.

But there's an old Chinese saying: "Since we're already here..."

He felt more like he'd met a celebrity and wanted an autograph and a photo; as for deeper interactions, he'd leave it to fate.

But if we meet and don't chat for a bit, it feels like we're missing out.

At that moment, Zhou Si keenly caught the sound coming from Kevin's stomach. His eyes lit up, and he raised the jerky in his hand again.

"Want some? I heard it's made by the guild's head chef, and it's pretty good!"

"...Thanks."

Kevin ultimately chose to follow his heart, accepting the jerky Zhou Si offered. After tearing off a small piece and tasting it, Kevin's eyes lit up.

"good to eat."

Hearing Kevin's words, Zhou Si looked proud. This was something he had taken from the caged bird's prop bag; it wasn't just any ordinary portable food.

"Sorry, bro, we didn't mean any harm. It's just that your entrance was a bit too amazing and startled us."

"My name is Kevin, and this is my girlfriend, Mei."

Kevin shared some of the jerky he had with Mei, then looked at Zhou Si and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Mei rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, then nodded at Zhou Si.

"Thank you for your food. I'm Mei."

"Hello, hello, you can call me Zhou Si or Lao Zhou, it's fine."

Seeing how serious the two of them were, Zhou Si felt a little embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly to indicate that she didn't mind.

"Sir, may I ask how you suddenly ended up on this rooftop? And what is that?"

Mei carefully considered her words and tentatively inquired about Zhou Si's background.

She was not unaware of the disaster that had occurred there. Just recently, she had been invited to Mu Continent to attend a large academic conference because of a paper she had published on relativity.

At this conference, she met Dr. Möbius, who had invited her to the meeting, and learned from him about another side hidden beneath this world.

A terrifying disaster known as Honkai.

No one knows where the Honkai comes from. All that is known is that each Honkai event is accompanied by the extinction of a large number of creatures. In fact, terrifying monsters, or even terrifying creatures called Herrschers, are born from large-scale Honkai events.

All of these things were covered up by a United Nations organization called the Fire Moth.

Having learned all this, May accepted Dr. Mebius's invitation and decided to join the Moth of Fire organization.

But she never imagined that the collapse would come so quickly, and that it would happen right next to her.

Moreover, this collapse was much larger and more terrifying than those she had seen in the data. At this moment, the thunderclouds in the sky had almost covered the entire Changkong City, which gave Mei a bad feeling.

So that's why Mei wanted to test Zhou Si's identity. Zhou Si is clearly not an ordinary human. He might know something, and the Moths' army might not be able to stop the Third Herrscher.

Zhou Si might be the key to her and Kevin's escape from danger.

"Well...it's a long story..."

Upon hearing Mei's question, Zhou Si was momentarily speechless. He couldn't very well say that he had traveled from another world to fight monsters, could he?

The mode of transportation is still a cat-shaped cart.

Wait a minute? Where's Bai?

Where's my cat?!

At this moment, Zhou Si finally realized that he hadn't seen Bai since he fell off the cat cart. The Hunter's Book, which had been systematized, was still on him, but Bai was definitely gone again.

Meanwhile, on the other side, amidst the ruins, Bai was trembling as he looked at the figure before him.

The ground was littered with corpses and the wreckage of buildings. As the figure drew closer, Bai let out another mournful cry of despair.

"Don't come over here, ahhhhh!"

Chapter 10 feels inferior to the katana.

"Where's my cat?!"

Zhou Si exclaimed in surprise, startling Kevin and Mei, who were waiting for his response.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry."

Seeing their actions, Zhou Si quickly apologized.

"Brother Zhou Si, your cat is missing?"

Kevin asked a pointless question, then immediately realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself.

"Ahem, what I mean is, why did you bring your cat to such a dangerous place?"

"This is difficult to explain to you..."

"It's not a cat, no, it is a cat, but that's not right either..."

Zhou Si was momentarily speechless. In fact, he didn't quite understand what kind of creature a Palico was. After all, what kind of cat could hunt and cook? It provided a lot of emotional value and could also provide crucial help in daily life and even in battle.

Most importantly, it's huge and so cute!

Who wouldn't want to own an Felyne like this?

Although I haven't known Bai for very long, according to Bai himself, he is qualified to be a hunting cat, so I don't need to worry too much about his safety.

Just as Zhou Si was thinking about how to explain to Kevin and Mei, a faint sound of rapid vibration in the air suddenly came from one side of the rooftop.

Zhou Si's expression instantly turned serious. He closed his eyes, and the internal structure of his ears silently changed. The keen hearing of the horned dragon, the deadly killer hidden under the sand and rocks, was now fully displayed on Zhou Si.

Diablos is a large flying dragon species whose wings have degenerated. They usually hide under the sand. Due to their degenerated vision and the limited space under the sand, their hearing is their weapon for locking onto prey.

The sound of air vibrations became increasingly clear to Zhou Si, who could even discern the frequency of its wingbeats, its size, and even its body structure through hearing.

At this moment, the creature flying upwards along the wall of the teaching building is the most basic Honkai derivative, the Advancement-class Honkai Beast.

In the game, it's just an ordinary monster, but in reality, the Rush-class Honkai Beast is as big as a person and flies at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary vehicles, truly living up to the "Rush" in its name.

And there was even worse news: the 'mosquitoes' that came weren't just one. With Zhou Si's auditory perception, he noticed that it wasn't just these few Honkai Beasts; a large number of the academy's zombies and Honkai Beasts were also converging on the rooftop.

Zhou Si's sudden change in expression made Kevin and Mei realize something, and they quickly got up from the ground and stretched their somewhat stiff bodies.

Kevin picked up the baseball bat he had found somewhere and looked around warily.

"coming."

Zhou Si uttered two words softly, and Kevin subconsciously looked in his direction.

But when Kevin's gaze shifted, Zhou Si had already vanished from his spot, his hand gripping the hilt of the training greatsword still embedded in the wall.

The ear-piercing flapping of wings grew closer and closer. No longer needing Zhou Si's reminder, Kevin and Mei also heard the sound of the horde of Honkai Beasts that had surged forward, and their expressions instantly turned grim.

They had seen this monster before; this mosquito-like Honkai Beast had smashed a huge hole in the academy's wall right in front of them. If it had hit them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Before they could decide on their next move, Zhou Si made his move.

He took a heavy step forward with his right foot, and with a loud 'bang,' a deep footprint was left on the rooftop. The greatsword, which had been firmly embedded in the wall, was now easily removed from the wall, and it swept out with flying gravel.

Unlike katanas and dual swords, greatswords lack the cutting power of katanas. Instead, they sacrifice mobility and convenience for a massive blade...

Unparalleled violence.

At that very moment, the several rush-class Honkai Beasts happened to show themselves, and a huge blade came towards them with unstoppable force.

The greatsword's blade cleaved several Charge-class Honkai Beasts in half from right to left; their incredibly tough white shells couldn't even withstand a second of impact with the greatsword.

"Mei, you are right."

Kevin looked at the Honkai Beast corpses that were gradually disintegrating into Honkai energy with a sour feeling in his teeth. Luckily, Mei reminded him not to ask questions, otherwise, if he had been hit like that, he would probably have been torn to pieces.

But he's really handsome!

The somewhat abstract image of Zhou Si that Kevin had been having vanished instantly, replaced by a picture of him wielding a greatsword.

Coach! I want to learn this!

A light suddenly appeared in Kevin's eyes.

After quickly dispatching the flying Honkai Beasts, Zhou Si wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Sigh, it doesn't feel as good as the katana...

Zhou Si clicked his tongue in slight boredom. Although it was indeed very satisfying to slash with the greatsword, it was still a little lacking.

As mentioned earlier, aside from the katana, Zhou Si was actually quite fast at learning weapon skills. He had a certain understanding of the basic techniques for using weapons and how to exert force.

Keep in mind that only a few days have passed, and there is no doubt that Zhou Si's learning ability and combat talent are outstanding.

Aside from weapons that require the use of special energy, which he hasn't yet mastered in depth, Zhou Si can already use weapons like greatswords and hammers, which rely on skill, to get the hang of them.

Although experienced hunters would say his skills are far from being those of a qualified hunter, his stats are just too high.

Other hunters rely on skill-based techniques, but he can simply rely on his stats to brute force his way through; at worst, he can just eat more afterwards.

"Those things are coming up, what are your plans?"

Zhou Si slung the greatsword behind his back and turned to look at the two people behind him.

Mei and her boyfriend exchanged a glance before Mei stepped forward and spoke.

"Mr. Zhou Si, could you please escort us to the east gate of the academy?"

"The Firemoth's forces have advanced to that side. As a reward, I will help you find your Palico."

"That's a huge help."

Zhou Si nodded. He wouldn't have abandoned the two of them anyway. If Mei could help him find Bai, it would definitely be much faster than if he searched on his own.

"Let's get going without delay."

After saying that, Zhou Si took the lead, opened the door to the rooftop, and went downstairs. Kevin and Mei quickly followed.

As Zhou Si cleared out the zombies and Honkai Beasts, he suddenly felt as if some kind of power was spreading through his body.

When I raised my hand, I saw that some purple lines had appeared on my wrist.

Honkai Impact?

Zhou Si was stunned. The purple patterns were clearly symptoms of Honkai energy erosion.

But why does he seem to be getting more and more energetic?

Chapter Eleven: Lao Zhou was right.

The purple patterns had only spread to her wrist for the time being, and the two people behind her did not notice Zhou Si's condition.

Zhou Si pressed the wristband down, not intending to let others see her condition, although she guessed that the environmental adaptability was taking effect on the Honkai energy.

But if someone finds out that I'm infected with Honkai, then my hunter career will be over (lol).

"You guys need to stay a little closer."

"But don't follow too closely either."

Zhou Si turned around and gave them a few words of advice. Although her words were somewhat abstract, Kevin and the others still understood what Zhou Si meant.

Getting too close and getting grazed by that greatsword would be no joke.

The three of them quietly went downstairs. Zhou Si closed his eyes and listened to the information around him. In the past few years, with the training in the New World, although he had basically mastered some of his abilities, he had not yet reached the point where he could control them at will.

The ability to transform body parts into dragon-like forms is something he has only recently developed and is not yet very proficient at.
