Chapter 278 Sign up for the hunter test
Even if the star is successfully implanted in Jin's body, the second phase of application cannot be started.
After all, this is just actual combat training. It is impossible for Moreau to really mobilize his whole body to show his energy and give Jinlai a super-large flying star with doubled power.
However, being able to use tactics to reach an opponent of Jin's level is enough for him.
Morrow raised his hand to catch the scabbard thrown by Jin and continued to engage in actual combat training.
After squeezing out the potential energy, Moreau turned to the practice of combining "absolute" and "body training".
After a part of the potential Qi has been restored, let Jin stay within the range of the starlight convergence and continue to watch various movements that quickly mobilize and reveal the Qi.
Time passes like this day by day.
At the end of July.
The excavation work of the underground palace ruins in the Akashal Kingdom has officially ended, and it has entered the stage of reinforcement and maintenance.
This stage no longer requires too much manpower.
Many members of the team have taken a long-awaited break to recharge their batteries for the next work.
And mind-removing consultants like Tessa usually have to move between ruins, which can be said to be very busy.
Sambika, who was brought here by her before, is even less likely to be idle.
A few months ago, she had left Qianjing Lake and continued to devote herself to the great medical cause.
As for Moreau, after the excavation work came to an end, he had more time to maintain ultra-high-intensity day and night practice.
Humour like that, as if he wanted to squeeze out all of Jin's sparring value.
Fortunately, Jin is very dedicated. Although he doesn’t like to be bound to one place or even one thing,
But he has never been perfunctory, and he has been doing his best to help Moreau improve his abilities every moment.
But during this period, Jin did not waste Moreau's ability to eliminate thoughts.
As long as there is a need, Morrow will be left to handle it.
Menqi still stayed with Moreau and Jin,
Because Jin, a big boss, could always bring in various ingredients and let her try various forms of cooking.
And she was very happy to do so and made good use of this opportunity to openly share the edibility of some ingredients and various cooking methods in the food hunter industry.
Her approach has not only accumulated a lot of reputation in the industry, but also won the one-star title as she wished because of her outstanding contribution.
Finally, there is Kurapika.
In the first half of the year, he participated in the team's work, but he did not waste the opportunity to practice together and become stronger.
Until the excavation of the ruins of the Akashal Kingdom was completed, he did not stay with Moro with Menqi,
Instead, he set out alone to regain the eyes of his tribe.
Because he has mastered the whereabouts of the eyes of most tribesmen.
This is all thanks to Jin’s intelligence channels.
· Artists, politicians, church leaders, bourgeois, corporate employees, fraudsters, doctors, pastors, investors, musicians, lawyers, and even cram school teachers. With the help of information provided by Jin, Kurapika determined the occupation, name, and location of the eye holders.
So what he has to do next is to use money transactions as much as possible to get back the eyes of the tribe from these people.
Everyone has something to do.
Time flies.
As time goes by, all things grow and wither in the light of time.
Some people stay where they are, while others are heading to the top of the mountain.
December 1998.
There was a man named Jin Fulisi, who was like a monkey who had just been released from prison and suddenly became a missing person. "He turned off his phone."
On the top of a rocky mountain, Menqi, dressed in cool clothes, looked at the boundless green forest ahead.
In her hand, she held a mobile phone that was dialing, and she could vaguely hear the prompts such as "The number you dialed has been turned off."
"As expected, this period of time has been really troublesome for him. I think he must have been holding it in for a long time."
Beside him, Moreau's face was full of smiles.
After the excavation work of the ruins of Akashal Kingdom was completed, Moreau and Jin found a relatively quiet place for subsequent practice.
So the two of them stayed here for nearly half a year.
In normal times, if something important happens, it would be best if Jin can rely on cell phone calls to solve it.
If he can't, let Chimera send him to deal with the matter.
In short, for Jin, who is accustomed to freedom, this period of time is really no different from being in jail.
In contrast, although Menqi was also there, she was only responsible for the meals. The rest of the time she spent the rest of the time riding the Chimera back to nearby towns to live her life.
Menqi put away his mobile phone and said: "The review committee of the association invited me to serve as the second examiner for the 287th hunter test. I wanted to refuse, but those old guys talked about one star, and President Nitro came forward, so I had no choice but to agree."
Morrow turned his head and glanced at Menqi, and suddenly felt a little strange when he saw the sadness in the other person's eyebrows.
"Why, you don't want to be an examiner for the hunter test so much?"
"I'm actually not that resistant, that's just——
Menqi thought of many things. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became.
Moro asked doubtfully: "What is it?"
"Moro, aren't you going to sign up for this hunter test?"
Menqi sighed.
Morrow was even more surprised and nodded: "Yes, this matter does not conflict with your position as an examiner, right? I won't let you help me cheat."
"That's why it's troublesome."
Menqi frowned and said: "If I serve as an examiner, I will not be merciful in the test questions. This may cause you to fail to get the hunter's license."
"So you are worried about this kind of thing."
Morrow laughed when he heard this, remembering that in the original test, Menqi was responsible for the second level, which indeed ruthlessly eliminated all candidates.
In the end, it was Nitro who came forward to save that test.
However, practices like Menqi’s are actually the norm in hunter tests.
Most professional hunters who serve as examiners will set some unexpected test questions based on personal preferences and judgment.
This casual assessment method has resulted in a very low pass rate for the hunter test.
In the previous tests, only Kurapika passed the test.
Morrow still remembers that in the original work, it was precisely because the pass rate of the previous tests was so low that Nitro, who was supposed to guard the last level, intervened midway.
But things are different now.
Because of the butterfly effect he brought, at least Kurapika was a qualified candidate in the previous sessions.
With this change, it is unknown whether Nitro will intervene again this time.
If Nitro had not intervened, with Menqi’s serious character, even if he participated in this test, he might really be eliminated.
Thinking of this, Moreau couldn't help but become a little more serious.
He participated in the hunter test. In addition to wanting to obtain a hunter's license, he also wanted to see if Yi Mi would participate in this hunter test and whether he had recovered his missing limbs.
If Yi Mi did not participate in this hunter test...
Then, in order not to go in vain, he must strive to obtain a hunter's license.
"Menqi, don't think too much. If I can't pass this time, I'll probably go again next year, it doesn't matter."
Morrow said with a smile.
He didn't care much about it, but he already had the idea to visit the Shimeile Wetland and Biscayne Forest Park in advance.
Hmm.
The sadness in Menqi's eyebrows subsided a little, and he suddenly thought of another thing, and asked: "By the way, did Kurapika tell you?" The committee also invited him to serve as the examiner for this term. "
"Really, then Kurapika will definitely refuse."
Moro could guess Kurapika's reaction without even thinking about it.
Menqi nodded and said: "Well, Kurapika did refuse, but he agreed later."
"Huh? Is it because Nitro came forward again?"
Moro was a little strange.
Menqi said: "Yes, but the reason why Kurapika agreed was because President Netero made the decision.
Gives a condition for payment of remuneration. 》
Morrow was silent for a moment, and the figure of Nitro flashed in his mind.
Hence, Kurapika was willing to accept the position of examiner at any cost. It seemed that he had specially investigated Kurapika's situation.
Page During this period, even though Morrow was immersed in practice, he could guess that Kurapika must have been short of money in order to find his tribe's eyesight.
And Nitro took advantage of this.
This style of acting that once you decide on something, you must do it, is really a typical reinforcement system.
"It's good to make money."
After the silence, Moreau chuckled again.
Thinking of Kurapika's current situation, Menqi shook his head slightly, turned to look in the direction he came from, and said: "I should be on standby at the Hunter Association Building in advance, so I won't take care of your food."
"Well, I also have some things to do here."
A gleam flashed in Moro's eyes.
Considering that Yi Mi may participate in this hunter test, he will continue to hide his whereabouts in the coming time, and may even need to disguise himself when making some preparations.
"I almost forgot."
Moreau suddenly stopped his thoughts, pulled out the ruby bird knife with his backhand, held the blade lightly with his fingertips, and handed the handle to Menqi,
said with a smile: "Although it's a little late, I still want to congratulate you on getting the one-star title. This kitchen knife should be considered a gift."
"Ah, but I haven't found it for you yet——"
Hence Menqi looked down at the ruby kitchen knife handed to him by Moreau.
Morrow interrupted Menqi's hesitation with a smile: "Didn't I tell you, this is a congratulatory gift, don't blame me for sending it late. Just Menqi raised her head and looked at Moreau comfortably, feeling moved in her heart.
Moro urged: "Take it quickly."
"Hmm."
Men Qi stopped being pretentious and took the ruby bird knife, but in the next second she suddenly took a few steps forward and hugged Moro.
"Humph, you're wise, it's not in vain that I've cooked so many meals for you."
She put her hands tightly around Moreau's waist, and rested her chin on his shoulder. There was a bit of pride in her voice, but there was also a hint of softness that was not easy to detect.
“But—I still want to thank you for the gift.”
Hence before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head and quickly pecked Moreau on the lips.
After making this bold move, she did not dare to look at Moreau's reaction. She suddenly withdrew her hand, turned around, and jumped directly from the rock mountain.
A moment later.
Chimera's huge figure soared into the sky from below.
Menqi landed steadily on its back.
"Chimera lend me a hand and let her take me back to the town first."
The mountain wind blew the tips of her hair.
She always turned her back to Moreau, as if this way she could hide the rosiness on her cheeks.
The top of the rocky mountain.
Morrow watched Chimera drive Menqi away, and raised his hand to touch his lips in surprise.
For girls who are a little shy and reserved, even if they are touched by this kind of atmosphere, the most they can do is kiss her on the cheek.
It’s better for you to just speak directly.
But "It really looks like something you would do."
The voice mixed with some complicated emotions drifted away in the wind.
In the evening.
Chimera unfolded its huge flesh wings and flew towards the top of the rocky mountain where Moreau was, facing the setting sun.
Since he was able to forage independently, Moreau never had to worry about his diet.
However, Chimera seems to be used to eating the dishes carefully cooked by Menqi, so sometimes, she will go to Menqi specifically to beg for delicious food.
To him, Menqi’s dishes are equivalent to desserts.
Over the past year, Chimera's foraging frequency has increased significantly, but its growth rate has gradually slowed down.
It is as if the nutrients contained in ordinary prey can no longer meet the growth needs of its increasingly large body.
Even so, the Chimera is already very large, twice the size of the blue whale, with a body length of nearly 70 meters.
The Chimera came with a large shadow and slowly landed on the top of the rocky mountain.
Its slender neck bowed downwards, and handed the cloth bag hanging on the tip to Moreau's eyes.
Morrow took down the bag and could smell the strong aroma before he even opened it.
"I asked you why you were there for so long."
In the cloth bag, there were dishes cooked by Menqi, packed in a three-story lunch box.
Chimera delayed coming back for so long because she had to wait there for Menqi to finish cooking.
「Hoho~!」
Chimera lowered her head and gently rubbed Morrow's arm.
Morrow smiled and touched its head with his backhand, then sat on the ground and opened the lunch box.
There are various dishes with a balanced combination of meat and vegetables, and the tempting aroma overflows.
Morrow first gave half of it to Chimera, and then, under the orange light of sunset, he ate another delicious meal carefully prepared by Menqi in the lunch box.
This time, there seems to be a hint of affection in the taste of the food.
Chimera's tail is very long, curled backwards and turning the spiral mouthparts to the side of its body.
As the sarcoma at the end of its tail burst open, it rolled up the meal that Moreau separated into its spiral mouthparts in one breath, along with the meal cover that held the food.
Morrow saw that it was eating so quickly, so he divided another half.
"Chimera, do you like Menqi?"
Picking up a piece of meat and stuffing it into his mouth, Moreau suddenly asked Chimera.
Chimera was able to understand Moreau's question, and the crested bird's head suddenly shook from side to side.
It seems to be saying: I don’t like it, I don’t like it.
After shaking its head, it moved its head to Moro's side and kept rubbing it. Then it retracted its head and looked into Moro's animal eyes, showing a look of human expectation.
It is also like saying: I only like the master.
Morrow put down his chopsticks with a smile and gently stroked the Chimera's head with his hand.
Menqi’s sudden move today really caught him a bit unexpectedly.
