Chapter 102 The Gluttonous Little Master Joins the City Monster Hunting Team
Half an hour later, several delicious-looking dishes were served on the dining table in the living room. Just as Jiang Han picked up his bowl and chopsticks to start eating, he noticed that a few pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs seemed to be missing from the table. He saw Xue Ling on a chair, holding a pork rib with its two furry little paws and eating it with relish. Next to it, a golden figure was floating around with its head down, doing something unknown.
Jiang Han was surprised to find that the golden figure was actually Xiao Shi, who was holding a sweet and sour pork rib in her fair little hand and gnawing on it.
No, wasn't Xiaoshi supposed to be a virtual entity? Then why is she still able to eat ribs?
"Ahem, what are you doing?" Jiang Han coughed lightly and asked.
With a thud, Xiao Shi was so startled that she dropped the rib she was holding. Xue Ling was also startled and stopped what she was eating, stiffly turning her head to look at Jiang Han. Her two dark blue eyes darted around, probably trying to figure out what to do next.
The young master stammered, "I...I didn't do anything, I was just chatting with Xue Ling, right, Xue Ling?"
As she spoke, she winked at Xue Ling. Xue Ling understood what her master meant and quickly used her paws to block the ribs she hadn't finished eating, squeaking as if she was echoing what her master said.
"Oh, really? Then what's with this piece of rib on the ground? Did it fly out by itself?" Jiang Han asked, smiling at Xiao Shi.
"This...this...maybe that piece of pork rib got upset and jumped out of the plate on its own," the young chef said weakly, head down, looking like a child who had made a mistake.
"Little Master, I remember you said you were a virtual being, right? Why do I feel so real?" Jiang Han suddenly reached out and pinched Little Master's face. Little Master probably cried out in pain. After Jiang Han let go, Little Master said pitifully, "Um, last time, when you said I was a virtual being, you were lying to me. I can actually switch between virtual and physical forms at will. Don't be angry, Host. I didn't mean to lie to you last time."
Jiang Han originally wanted to scold Xiao Shi, but seeing Xiao Shi's pitiful appearance, Jiang Han smiled and shook his head, saying, "Never mind, if you want to eat, sit at the table and eat. Xue Ling, you can sit at the table and eat too."
Jiang Han turned around and went back to his seat to start eating. Xiao Shi and Xue Ling, the two little ones, also sat down at the table excitedly and began to eat heartily. By the end, both of their bellies were round and full.
After the two little ones had eaten and drunk their fill, they went back to their respective dens to sleep. Little Master had vanished into thin air, and Jiang Han had no idea where he went to sleep; he guessed it was Little Master's little den in the system. After cleaning up the dishes, Jiang Han returned to his room to cultivate. Time always flies when you're cultivating; in the blink of an eye, it was dawn. With the boost from the triple cultivation enhancement card, his fire magic energy reserves had improved considerably after a night of cultivation, and he believed it wouldn't be long before he broke through to the intermediate level in fire magic.
After breakfast, Jiang Han went to the Hunter's Alliance. The Hunter's Alliance in Shanghai was located in a giant skyscraper. Upon arriving at the fiftieth floor, where the Hunter's Alliance was situated, Jiang Han's first impression was its sheer size—many times larger than the Hunter's Alliance in Bo City. The Hunter's Alliance lobby practically occupied the entire floor, with fifteen elevators leading there, and the flow of people was enormous.
The LCD screen in the lobby displays scrolling text showing bounties from all over the country to the hunters. The Hunter Alliance in Shanghai is most famous nationwide for its information gathering, and many bounties from abroad are even posted in the Hunter Alliance in Shanghai. Hunters can choose their own bounties according to their needs.
In a metropolis like Shanghai, the area outside the safety barrier is not a place where a newbie like him who has just broken through to the intermediate level can roam freely. If he encounters a demon of the commander level, he will most likely be doomed. Therefore, joining the city's demon-hunting team is a pretty good choice.
Not only can he earn some money and system points, but he also has security guarantees. How could Jiang Han refuse such a win-win situation?
"Mr. Jiang Han, we just consulted with them. The information and demon-hunting qualification certificate you provided in Bocheng have been fully approved by the city's demon-hunting team. I'll take you to the city's demon-hunting team's office now." A pretty female assistant from the hunter team smiled and led Jiang Han to the city's demon-hunting team's office.
A few minutes later, the female assistant led Jiang Han to the door of the city's monster-hunting team's office.
"This is the city's monster-hunting team. I can only take you this far. If there's anything else, please let me know." The female assistant said before turning and leaving.
Buzz buzz buzz!! Jiang Han raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times. Not long after, a rather authoritative male voice came out from the office.
"Please come in."
After pushing open the office door, Jiang Han saw a middle-aged man sitting inside. Jiang Han smiled and said, "Hello, I'm applying to join the city's monster-hunting team. My name is Jiang Han, and these are my identification documents and some of my information."
As Jiang Han spoke, he took out the identification card and his information issued by the Hunter Alliance and handed them to the middle-aged man.
"One-star Hunter Master, Mid-Rank 3 Ice Element, Mid-Rank 2 Lightning Element, hmm, quite impressive. The Third Squad of Area B in Shanghai recently suffered a casualty incident; how about you become the squad leader of the Third Squad of Area B in Shanghai?" The middle-aged man said with considerable satisfaction after reviewing the documents Jiang Han handed him.
In metropolises like Shanghai, the city's monster-hunting teams are divided into four regions: A, B, C, and D. Each region will be led by a high-level mage and four designated monster-hunting teams. Each monster-hunting team consists of three mid-level mages and several low-level mages.
A few days ago, a Bloodthirsty Demon Rat of the Warrior level suddenly appeared in the residential area of Block B in Shanghai. By the time the high-level mage in charge of Block B arrived, the captain of the third squad had already died in the line of duty, and the other members were all more or less injured. The battle caused heavy losses to the third squad in charge of Block B, which is why Huo Yunfeng, who is in charge of the Mingzhu City Demon Hunting Team, issued a recruitment notice.
"Okay, but who is this third squad in Sector B?" Jiang Han asked, puzzled.
Huo Yunfeng then began to explain to Jiang Han the district divisions of Shanghai and the tasks assigned to the demon-hunting team. After Jiang Han came out of the office, he had a silver token in his hand. The front of the token was engraved with "B District Demon-Hunting Team," and the back was engraved with the words "Team 3." What surprised Jiang Han the most was that this token was also a magical artifact. It could not only withstand the attacks of slave-level demons, but also notify the members of the demon-hunting team responsible for that area as soon as a demon appeared.
"As expected of a big city, the fact that they equip their monster-hunting teams with magical tools is something a small city like Bo City can't compare to," Jiang Han remarked, toying with the silver token in his hand.
When Jiang Han returned to the Hunter Alliance's main hall, he heard a familiar voice—it sounded a lot like Mo Fan's voice.
Jiang Han glanced around the lobby and saw Mo Fan consulting with a hunter's assistant. Even from a distance, he could hear Mo Fan exclaim in surprise, "Is the competition in Shanghai this fierce? And how do I obtain the title required for elite hunters?"
"You need to complete enough bounties and commissions to accumulate enough Hunter Contribution Points. Once you have enough, your Hunter title will automatically advance to Elite Hunter. Currently, according to the data, you are still a Mid-level Hunter, commonly known as a Rookie Hunter. You are 9215 Hunter Contribution Points away from becoming an Elite Hunter," the Hunter Assistant patiently explained to Mo Fan.
P.S.: ε=(ο`*))) Sigh, I still can't manage two updates a day. Two updates seem like a distant dream.
