Chapter 33 The Hunting Begins
After acquiring the new item, Malu then activated the sticky web effect of another item, sticking back one of the blessings that had been cleared last time.
As the list of blessings unfolded, Malu discovered something different.
The blue blessing [turning in circles] is flashing continuously, and disappears after half a second, replaced by a white blessing [aerobic enthusiasts: increase the stamina of the whole team by 1%]
Is this the effect of triggering the Heartbeat Lotto?
But there was no battle just now, so Ma Lu went back and read the instructions after the Heartbeat Lottery again.
Well, it does not say that you have to go through a battle. It can be triggered as long as the blessing option appears.
The effect of Sticky Net just met the conditions, but his luck was a bit unlucky this time, triggering the blessing downgrade.
An optional blessing changes from blue to white, but fortunately it has no impact.
Ma Lu was still preparing to choose the blessing, and he hesitated between [Last Iron Wall] and [Charge after attack].
These two purple blessings have good effects, one for defense and one for offense. [The Last Iron Wall] is very suitable for Pochi's ability.
However, considering that he can also use another blessing, and can use the flame baby lizard to block the bug, Malu has made a decision.
[Charged by attacks: When team members adopt a defensive posture in battle, their strength will increase by 10% for each attack they receive. This effect can be accumulated and will be reset after launching an attack]
Leaving behind this purple blessing, Malu waited for Boqi while looking for his old friend the young flame lizard nearby again.
…………
This time, Pochi did not come alone. There was another figure sitting behind his motorcycle.
The person was plump and obviously a woman.
"Your girlfriend?"
Pochi shook his head, "Newcomer."
"What newcomer?"
"Newcomers who want to join the Shuangyanghua hunting group."
Ma Lu didn't react at first. It wasn't until Boqi said this that he remembered that the two of them seemed to have talked about recruiting new members of the hunting group before they separated last time. , I just didn’t expect progress to be made so quickly.
"You are right, the hunting group needs to expand. After I returned, I asked the guild to send out a recruitment notice." Boqi said.
"Only one person applied for the job?"
"No, actually I received dozens of self-recommendation letters this week." Boqi's answer was somewhat beyond Ma Lu's expectations. .
"Really or not, is it because of your father?"
"It has nothing to do with my father. Everyone is here for Shuangyanghua."
"But our hunting group It has only been established for less than two weeks." Ma Lu touched his chin.
“It’s because of the treasure hunting group.” The woman in the back seat of the car smiled. "Treasure Hunting Group?"
"Well, we had a conflict with you guys last time and wanted to rob your hunting group. They had done similar things before, but the victims had no evidence, so in the end they had no choice but to let it go. As a result, they fell into trouble this time. In your hands.
"And there were eight of them, and there were only two of you, but in the end they were beaten to pieces, but you were unscathed. Now this matter has been spread in the city. It's open.
"Not to mention that the two of you successfully hunted the giant claw lord. It only took less than three days for the hunting group to advance to bronze. Well... although it is not the fastest, this speed is enough. It’s amazing.”
“Ah, so many things happened during my absence,” Ma Lu looked at Boqi again, “So you finally selected only one from the bunch of candidates. One that meets the requirements?"
Poqi shook his head, "Recruiting new members to the hunting group is a very serious matter. I can't just rely on a self-recommendation letter to determine who is suitable and who is not. I have to conduct an investigation and review. Finding out the details of each person takes time and cannot be done in a short time.”
After saying that, he pointed to the woman behind him and said with some reluctance, "As for her, she is a friend of mine. I know her very well. She must have no problem with her ability, and her character is... so-so, so I will put her first." I brought it.”
“Hello, deputy leader, my name is Mai Mai. I am very happy to join the Shuangyang Flower Hunting Group and fight alongside you.”
The woman took off her veil. , revealing a beautiful face, she looked six or seven years older than Pochi, stretched out a hand, and introduced herself gracefully, her voice was as soft and light as a feather pillow.
"No, you haven't joined the Shuangyang Flower Hunting Group yet and are still in the assessment period." Pochi corrected him with a straight face.
“Strictly speaking, you are not a member of our group, so you do not have the right to allocate prey for this hunt. I will pay you appropriate rewards based on your performance after the hunt, and all hunters will The group members vote to decide whether to accept you into our hunting group.”
Mai Mai smiled, but only answered one word, "Okay."
"Oh, welcome, welcome." Ma Lu shook hands with Mai Mai, not sure if it was his illusion, but he always felt Mai looked at him with a hint of deep meaning.
However, there was no malice in it, and Malu didn't take it to heart. He was just curious, "How did you and Pochi meet?"
"I've been in Harper too. for a while, but I left two years ago and never worked as a hunter again. I have dreamed of opening a perfume shop since I was a child, and I used the money I earned to realize my childhood wish.”
“ Well, why do you suddenly want to join the hunting group again?”
"Because after working as a perfume shop owner for a while and realizing my dream, I found that the life of a hunter is more suitable for me."
Maimai pushed her wind-blown hair behind her ears, "That's how people are. Well, when I was young, I always couldn’t figure out what I really wanted. When I heard that Pochi had formed a new hunting group, I had the idea of coming back.”
“But I want to be a hunter again. What will happen to your perfume shop later?”
“I heard from Pochi that you only go out hunting once a week and can come back in about a day. It shouldn’t delay the business of the perfume shop, and there is my sister in the perfume shop. "Look after me, it doesn't make any difference whether I'm here or not."
"Have you finished talking?" Boqi didn't know why, but he had been feeling inexplicably irritable since he decided to bring Mai Mai here. A card was handed to Malu.
"I sold the remaining giant claw lords and those vampire long-tailed weasels, as well as the short-eared Link hedgehog. This is your share, plus other bits and pieces, there are about 32,000 kWh. "
"Well, please help me keep it." Malu took it and gave it back to Boqi.
He couldn't take this thing back, so he could only leave it with Boqi first, and ask Boqi for it when needed.
But with this money in hand, it is an extra insurance. If he doesn't want to hunt anymore, or if he catches up with Boqi and has something to do, he can directly use the money to make purchases in the city. As for leaving empty-handed.
"We'll talk about gossip later. Now, let's start hunting." Pochi took a deep breath and announced.
