One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

Zombie Cafeteria

In the exquisite wooden house, there is a big iron pot on the stove made of adobe. A blazing charcoal fire is burning under the pot, and the firelight illuminates the busy figure standing on the stove.

On the chopping board, the fat and lean animal meat was evenly cut by the sharp kitchen knife. The figure dancing with the knife had excellent technique, and every cut was cut evenly and accurately.

The sliced meat was gently picked up with chopsticks and lightly fell into the hot fat in the pot, making a slight "sizzling" sound.

The moisture in the meat evaporated when it encountered the high temperature, forming wisps of white smoke that rose up. The white smoke gradually condensed together to form a hazy mist that filled the entire space.

As the smoke dissipates, the meat slices begin to turn golden and crispy, giving off an enticing aroma. They shrink slightly under the heat, and their surface has an oily sheen that makes you salivate.

At one side, a big dog was lying quietly on the carpet. Hearing the noise, it opened its pair of intelligent eyes and sniffed the meaty aroma in the air. Its black nose moved slightly, and it raised its head and looked at the stove with its bright eyes, and let out an excited bark.

"Wang!"

"Don't worry, you'll be able to eat it soon, meow."

Hearing the dog barking, the cook who was frying meat with chopsticks on the stove turned around, his eyes swept across the dog that was panting and sticking out its tongue, and he revealed a calm smile.

After gently soothing him, he resumed his peaceful rhythm and skillfully turned the meat slices with long chopsticks, ensuring that each side was fried until golden brown, perfectly showing the deliciousness of the meat.

After carefully turning each piece of meat and making sure it is cooked to perfection, he takes out a bottle of seasoning from the side and sprinkles it evenly on the meat with skillful techniques.

The figure was wearing a black and white maid outfit, with two black cat ears on her head, translucent black stockings on her thighs, and the clothes had a hollowed-out belly, revealing a smooth belly with strange patterns on it, full of exotic charm.

It's quite exotic indeed, from a human perspective.

Because this figure was actually a black cat standing up. I don’t know who was the crazy guy who made the cat cook and even put a maid outfit on her.

Moreover, the way he cooks the meat slices is skillful and smooth, without any sense of rawness. I don't know how many years of cooking it took for him to master this skill.

After a while, the golden slices of meat were cooked one by one and ready to be served.

At the same time, the aroma of meat in the air becomes more concentrated, highlighting the exquisite cooking skills of Chef Maomao.

The fragrance quickly spread, filling the entire room, making people feel salivating.

Mao Mao, wearing a maid outfit, manipulated the slender chopsticks in her hand with skillful hands, picking up the golden fried meat slices in the pan one by one and evenly distributing them to three large wooden plates.

There are a lot of meat slices in the pot, and the cat continues this action until all the meat slices in the pot are transferred to the plate.

Finally, the petite cat raised its paws high, holding a plate full of meat slices, jumped down from the one-meter-high stove, and then placed the plate in front of the dog's mouth that had already come up.

“Woof!”

Seeing the delicious food placed in front of him, the big dog raised his head and barked excitedly again, then lowered his head, opened his mouth wide and bit down, swallowing half of the plate of meat in one bite.

The big dog is very big, taller than a human, and its entire body is covered with soft and pure cute yellow hair, and every strand of hair looks like dazzling gold.

At the same time, its huge size reveals an indescribable sense of power, but its gentle character can be felt from its cry.

"Master, it's time to eat, meow."

After preparing the big dog's meal, the black cat, standing on two feet, turned around and shouted to the other side of the house, just like your mother calling you to eat in front of the mobile phone screen.

But I guess no one's mother would wear a maid outfit, so I'll just say "meow" at the end.

The room is quite big, about 100 square meters, with no partition walls except for the kitchen stove and dining table in one corner and a tatami-style bed on the other side.

The sunlight shines through the window and onto the bed.

At this moment, a man with his eyes closed was lying on the bed, his breathing even and deep.

The man looked very young, probably around seventeen or eighteen years old. Rather than a man, he looked more like a boy who had just reached adulthood.

Hearing the sound of dinner being served, the man's eyelids trembled and he opened his eyes reluctantly.

But the smell of meat in the air was like an invisible hand, pinching the man's nostrils. No matter how much he didn't want to get up, he was attracted by the wild smell of meat and had to cheer up.

"Ha~"

The man yawned, stretched, and climbed out of the bed.

"Honey, your cooking skills have improved again."

During the careful sniffing process, the man identified that the meat had not been marinated and the traces of seasoning were almost undetectable, while the delicious taste of the meat itself dominated, and its natural and pure flavor characteristics were prominent.

"No, meow, it's just that the wild boar meat this time is of very good quality, meow."

The black cat named Honey involuntarily straightened up when she received the man's compliment on her cooking skills, even though she verbally expressed the compliment on the quality of the pork.

However, from the subtle movements of its whiskers gently rising, it can be observed that the man's praise seems to be like stroking its chin, which makes it feel great pleasure.

Seeing this, the man narrowed his eyes, glanced behind Honey, and looked at the tail that was gently swaying with the owner's good mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Clearly, he knew just the right compliments to make this adorable kitchen cat happy.

The man then turned his gaze to the big dog that was enjoying the meal, and his thoughts began to wander.

Three years ago, when Link became a hunter, he adopted this hound from the village.

Its bloodline is complex and difficult to trace. When it grows up, its size is significantly larger than other dogs, two times larger than its peers. In comparison, the shoulder height of an ordinary hound is only as high as a human's chest and abdomen.

The one at his is different. It is a head taller than a human and almost as big as a wild boar.

That's it. It's not even an adult yet and is still in the growth stage. It's a baby that can kill an adult with one claw.

Looking at the matsutake mushrooms with oil dripping from their mouths while eating meat, the man named Link sighed with a hint of nostalgia.

Matsutake is the name Link gave to the big dog, to commemorate the mushrooms he didn't get to eat in his previous life.

Link is a time traveler. In his previous life, he was a typical gourmet who had an extremely persistent love and pursuit for food.

Born into a foodie family, Link’s favorite thing to do every day is to search for delicious restaurants.

Whenever I go to a new place, I can’t wait to taste the local specialties and experience the unique charm of different regional flavors.

For him, the greatest pleasure in life is to immerse himself in the world of food and enjoy the satisfaction brought by all kinds of delicacies.

Until he came to the colorful south of the clouds where mushrooms were grown in abundance, and his car overturned there.

It is said that people in Yunnan Province prefer mushrooms to life. His incomparable curiosity and strong appetite were aroused. In July, when mushrooms are in season, he drove to Yunnan Province to see what magic the mushrooms there have that makes so many people risk food poisoning to have a taste.

As expected, something went wrong as soon as I went there.

I didn't get to eat the mushrooms, but I did get to eat a fully insured semi-trailer Dayun heavy truck.

Then he traveled through time.

The place he traveled to looked quite familiar. It was a game made by the neighboring island country in his previous life.

monster hunter.

Because the English name is Monster Hunter, Chinese people took the first two initials and called it Monster Hunter.

Well, now he’s really become a hero, a tough guy who holds a huge sword and a katana as tall as a person and hunts monsters.

Link was born from a previous life and has been in this world for eighteen years. Even though he doesn't know much about this game, he basically knows a lot about the situation in this world.

This world is a world where monsters and humans live together. There are many kinds of monsters. Humans rely on hunting monsters, breeding monsters, and using materials from monsters to create equipment and weapons to fight monsters.

Up to this point, the theme of this world is very pure.

That is - hunt, or be hunted.
