All my hunting commissions come from another world?

For those who wish to remain in the dream world, Zhou Si will erase their memories and allow them to continue living in the dream world.

As for those who are unwilling, Zhou Si can reshape their bodies and send them back to the other world.

Now that Zhou Si is the master of Ya Nan's dream, he can do these things very easily.

The same applies to Ludwig and his hunters; Zhou Si will respect their decisions, no matter what they choose.

This long nightmare should really end...

"Your growth has truly amazed me."

The commander patted Zhou Si on the shoulder. Although he had thought highly of this young man from the beginning, Zhou Si's growth rate far exceeded his expectations.

This made him even more eager to see Zhou Si's future.

"In that case, I'll leave this place to you. The exploration of the New World is far from over, and it's time for the hunters to wake up."

After the Grand Commander finished speaking, he turned to leave, but before he had gone far, he turned back to look at Zhou Si and Azure Star.

"Commander, is there anything else?"

Amid Zhou Si and Cang Lanxing's curious expressions, the Grand Commander uttered a statement that left them speechless.

"Don't forget that your investigation mission isn't finished yet."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: You mean the First Research Institute exploded? (4k)

To Zhou Si's great surprise, the vast majority of ordinary people in the dream chose to stay in the dream rather than return to reality.

Perhaps it's because they prefer to stay in a false dream world rather than face the hardships of reality.

"So now I'm like Madara Uchiha?"

Apart from these ordinary people, the hunters also chose to stay.

Maria wanted to stay and take care of the patients, Father Gascoigne wanted to be with his family, and the crow hunters, Eileen and the others, were getting old and just wanted to enjoy their old age.

Ludwig, however, approached Zhou Si alone.

"Lord Zhou Si, I want to go to your world."

Why?

"Lord Zhou Si, I have learned a great deal from being by your side during this time. Although the crisis in Ya Nan has ended, I have no intention of stopping."

Ludwig gripped the hilt of the holy sword.

He may not have the wisdom of Gehrman and Lawrence, so when facing those in power, he can do nothing but wield his sword and can only place his hopes on Lawrence.

But the appearance of Zhou Si and the hunters suggested a possibility to him.

He can't do anything, perhaps because he's not strong enough!

"I want to seek greater power to uphold my beliefs!"

Ludwig's eyes were filled with determination. He could not envy Zhou Si's strength, but he saw the possibility of progress in the lone bird.

Zhou Si understood and patted Ludwig on the shoulder.

“It just so happens that a few Deep Sea Hunters are coming to study, so I’ll arrange for you to be in the same class.”

"Study hard, train diligently, and don't disgrace the Yharnam hunters."

"Okay sir!"

Ludwig bowed respectfully to Zhou Si, his face full of gratitude.

After resolving the arrangements for the people in the dream, Zhou Si turned his attention to another matter he had been considering for a long time.

With a thought, Zhou Si arrived at the top floor of a building in Old Yanan.

Beneath his feet, there were countless wild beasts that had been driven there by hunters.

These guys' minds have been completely taken over by bestiality, turning them into beasts driven only by bloodlust.

May you have peace and joy in your next life.

Zhou Si said in a low voice, then used his authority as a superior to completely dispel their spirits, but preserved their physical forms in the dream, and had the swarm add the most basic intelligence to them.

Then, the old Yharnam was separated from the Yharnam dream and formed a new independent dream.

This dream world will become a training ground for hunters to hone their hunting skills, and hunters still training in the guild can enter this dream world through the connection device developed by Melo.

Then, some more dangerous skill training will be conducted.

After all, there is no real death in dreams, so techniques that they wouldn't normally dare to use easily, such as cutting or killing each other, can be used safely here.

Moreover, the monsters here are not just the local wild beasts. Zhou Si can easily replicate the monsters he has eaten to a one-to-one ratio for the hunters' training.

Zhou Si had already thought of a name for this dream: "Battle Tournament," and then he would put a leaderboard on it.

After doing all this, Zhou Si returned to the Euton Chapel.

Everyone else had already left the dream, but Azure Star and Lonely Bird remained, waiting for Zhou Si to finish dealing with the matters in the dream.

"And I!"

Alene's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction; she had been helping all along, hadn't she?

"Sorry, I thought you left with the deep-sea hunters."

"Phew, forget it."

Elena looked at Zhou Si. He was always so busy running around in Terra, never stopping for a moment. But it was because of this that the two worlds were able to continue.

Thinking of this, the little bird's initial dissatisfaction disappeared.

Well, there are some.

Looking at the lone bird and the blue star beside her, Elena's tone unconsciously rose a few decibels.

"Hmph, I stayed behind to let you know."

"Rhodes Island has reached a cooperation agreement with the Hunter's Guild, and the two of us will be the representatives for communication between the two parties from now on. The Rhodes Island office is located next to the Forbidden Lands headquarters, so remember to come and find me when the time comes."

"Okay, you can go now. I'll come find you after I'm done here."

Upon hearing this, not only Elena, but even the lone bird beside her covered its face, unable to bear to look.

Sure enough, the little bird blushed and left the dream.

He must be furious this time.

"You...sigh..."

Looking at the spot where Elena disappeared, Lonely Bird walked to Zhou Si's side, patted him on the shoulder, and was about to say something to him.

But when Lone Bird realized that she herself seemed to have some feelings for this guy, she swallowed back the words she was about to say, turning them into a sigh.

"Complete the guild's mission well, and I'll be waiting for you to return to the Forbidden Lands."

The lone bird embraced Zhou Si again, whispered a few words in his ear, and then left the dream.

If the previous embraces were out of concern, this time the lone bird's initiative is a declaration of sovereignty.

"Hey hey hey."

Zhou Si looked at his hands and grinned foolishly. If he was still a little uncertain before, he was now almost 99% sure.

The caged bird probably likes him!

"Holy crap, you little mute, what are you doing?"

Zhou Si reacted quickly to dodge Azure Star's flying kick. She hadn't held back at all; it wouldn't be a joke if the little mute had landed such a kick on her.

Meanwhile, on Azure Star, who was already somewhat annoyed by Lone Bird's actions, heard Zhou Si call him "little mute" again.

Now they were completely panicked.

He simply pulled a demon pill from his prop bag and popped it into his mouth, which shows that Azure Star had completely lost his mind at this moment.

Outside the Euden Chapel, Dr. Youssefka and Ludwig looked at the commotion inside, exchanged a glance, and then gave each other a helpless smile.

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

Two days later, Zhou Si and Cang Lanxing stood in front of the Star Gathering Hall once again.

Lonely Bird and the others, including Melo, returned to the Old World by ship yesterday, and Zhou Si is just as the Grand Master had said before.

He still needs to complete his investigation into the Honkai phenomenon before he can return.

So after a short day of rest, Zhou Si was ready to start afresh.

And his partner this time is, of course, Azure Star again.

"We'll have to sleep in a tent again when we get back."

Zhou Si's feelings were complicated. He was still unaware that the Forbidden Land had changed drastically, and his heart was filled with reluctance to part with the Great House of Azure Star.

"This is nothing. A flight attendant will take you to see my mansion on the ice field later."

Azure Star patted Zhou Si with an air of superiority, his face full of smugness.

"Little mute, you are such a good person."

Faced with Zhou Si's sincere praise, Azure Star chose to respond with a passionate Whirlwind Slash.

The two of them continued their playful banter towards the Ancient Tree Forest, much to the delight of the research team behind them.

"I always said these two were a perfect match."

"Huh? I've been shipping them ever since they came back to camp together."

......

"As expected, not all monsters can be infected by Honkai energy."

In the dense jungle, Zhou Si sat on the back of a stunned Anjanathus and used the instruments sent by Dr. Mebius to check the Honkai energy content in the Anjanathus's body.

Although he could sense the fluctuations of Honkai energy, this was only possible when the Honkai energy already had a certain intensity.

If some monsters are still in the early stages of infection, Zhou Si will not be able to detect anything wrong with them.

And so, with the efforts of Azure Star and Zhou Si, the two of them conducted a comprehensive physical examination of the monsters in the Ancient Tree Forest.

Finally, the conclusion was reached.

That is, Honkai energy does have an impact on the ecosystem, but it has not yet reached the point of affecting the ecological balance.

Just like the situation in the Honkai world itself, Honkai energy adaptability is more a matter of individual differences, and so far no particular type of monster has been found to have a generally strong adaptability to Honkai energy.

Even if most monsters absorb Honkai energy, they are unlikely to become Honkai-transformed or Honkai-overcoming monsters.

Even if it becomes a monster that overcomes the Honkai and completes a leap in its ecological niche, unless it directly becomes a forbidden monster, there will always be stronger predators waiting for it above it.

While those corrupted monsters will become ferocious, their enhancement level is very limited, and the guild can simply send out hunters to deal with them as usual.

Currently, the Honkai will indeed cause some trouble for humanity, but it is still within a tolerable range.

not to mention...

Honkai energy adaptability isn't something unique to monsters.

"What did you just say you learned?"

"I can fly now."

Zhou Si stared at the Azure Star in front of him as if he had seen a ghost, because just now, he had watched the Azure Star rise into the air right before his eyes and then hover in mid-air.

He sensed a significant amount of Honkai energy fluctuations emanating from Azure Star.

Could it be that she really is the chosen one?

Zhou Sizhen felt that her lucky EX should have been attributed to Azure Star.

Having unlocked the new gameplay, Azure Star flew through the air with great enjoyment until her Honkai energy was almost depleted, at which point she reluctantly descended from the sky.

Then Zhou Si discovered that the Honkai energy in her body was being rapidly replenished again.

No, sister?

You really opened it?

If Zhou Si was initially only somewhat surprised, he now felt a greater sense of worry.

After all, the current situation on Azure Star cannot be explained by ordinary Honkai energy users.
