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

When it comes to eating, Link never compromised himself, so he started to mention it to the man and the cat.

"Ah, is there such a way to eat it?"

I don’t know whether to say that the villagers of Yanhuo Village are simple or honest. Link has lived here for so many years and feels that their lives are very monotonous.

Except for festivals, or when hunters hunt large monsters and hold banquets, it is rare to see them make changes to their lives.

This is especially true when it comes to eating.

Over the past decade, the recipes in the village have not changed much, so Link had no choice but to build a stove at home and replicate the delicacies of his previous life.

In the past two years, he has started to be lazy and hired Honey, a Mermaid cat who was looking for a job, and let her take on the important tasks of chef and housekeeper.

After giving Uncle A'lu and Brother Qukang a simple suggestion, Link said goodbye to them.

This is just a small episode in life. Whether they make changes is their own business. It will not affect Link's special treatment.

Since Link's home is located in the center of the village, there is a market right at his doorstep. In addition to those selling fish and rice balls, there are many other vendors setting up stalls here. It is very lively with people coming and going.

However, these passers-by and villagers are obviously not as eye-catching as the beautiful girls.

She was a cheerful and optimistic girl like the sun, sitting on a bench at the intersection.

The girl was wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume with a hair accessory on the left side of her head. Her black hair was loose and untied, and her slender waist was bound by a green belt. Her red skirt swayed gently in the breeze, and her pointed ears revealed her identity as a dragon person.

Her beautiful face makes people who see her can't help but exclaim in their hearts.

It was at this moment that her behavior destroyed her perfect image.

She is eating.

Of course, eating itself is not a strange thing. After all, this intersection is a market and there are many stalls selling food.

But - her appetite is obviously not right.

Glutinous rice dumplings, also called rabbit dumplings, are a specialty of Yanhuo Village and one of the main reasons why Link’s cheap dad ran away.

Three glutinous rice balls of different colors are strung together and paired with honey syrup. It is a small dessert after dinner.

But Link weighed it with his hand and found that one string of this thing weighed about 300 grams, and three or five strings could be eaten as a staple food by a hunter.

On the bench beside the girl were wooden plates filled with glutinous rice balls. At a glance, there were dozens of them, but half of them were gone, which showed that she had an amazing appetite.

I don’t know if the man who marries her can afford to support her.

This girl is naturally also an acquaintance of Link.

That’s right, she is Aunt Huoya.

Please forgive Link for calling her aunt. The dragon people are different from humans. As a sub-human race similar to the beastmen, their lifespan is longer than that of humans.

She looked like this when Link was just born. Now Link has grown into a muscular man over 1.8 meters tall, but her face has not changed.

You are an old woman who is always eighteen years old, right?

Of course, Link was just thinking about this in his mind. If he dared to say it out loud, and his sister, who was obsessed with his sister, heard it, she would stab Link's stomach with a spear.

"Sister Huoya, good morning."

Of course, you can't greet the beautiful girl in the same way as you would the passerby NPC who is setting up a stall at the door.

The smile on Link's face became noticeably sweeter, and the word "sister" he called out was full of intimacy.

There's no way. She's an acquaintance of my dad's and is said to be his childhood sweetheart. Link has been held in her arms many times since he was a child.

Although she is an aunt-level figure, a mature man like Link naturally knows that the younger you address a woman, the more she will like you.

"It's Little Link. Do you want to go hunting? You have hunted almost all the wild boars near the abandoned shrine recently. But a group of thief dragons came from nowhere. Do you want to accept the mission?"

Seeing Link, Huoya swallowed the glutinous rice ball in her mouth, waved and greeted him with a smile.

The dragon girl Huoya is not an ordinary person. Well, I’m not referring to her appetite, but her work.

She is the quest issuer of Yanhuo Village, responsible for issuing commissions from villagers to hunters.

Hunters usually have two ways to accept quests. One is to accept it from the quest issuer in the village, and the other is to accept it from the gathering place set up by the Hunter's Guild.

The difference between these two methods is that village tasks are usually provided by villagers in the local village.

Since the clients are villagers, the rewards are usually small, so hunters who accept village missions rarely team up with other hunters to hunt.

After all, the already small reward has to be divided equally. After a mission, the hunter's earnings may not even be enough to cover the cost of ammunition and props. For hunters who make a living by hunting, it is not worth it.

The missions from the gathering hall come from all over the world. As long as the hunter is registered with the Hunter Guild, no matter where he comes from and as long as he has no bad record, he can take the mission.

Although there are subsidies from the guild, hunting monsters has certain special requirements and it is usually troublesome to complete it alone, so it is suitable to form a team.

Of course, it is up to the hunter to choose whether to hunt with other hunters with whom he has a good relationship, or to hunt alone to earn more rewards.

Hunters who are confident in their own abilities will often choose the latter, and Link is such a person.

However, he simply thought that a person could escape faster if he had grease on his feet, and bringing a burden with him would obviously affect his escape speed.

"No, Sister Huoya, I'm going to do a promotion mission and I need to go to the gathering place."

Link rejected Huoya's proposal with a smile, but he was a little sad at the same time.

"By the way, why does everyone ask me if I'm going boar hunting when they see me, even though I do have the nickname of Boar Killer?"

It is true that quite a few wild boars have died at Link's hands in the past three years, but it is not enough to make people think that he is a professional wild boar killer.

The wild boars in Heaven were very angry about this. The big wild boars on the hills near Yanhuo Village were almost killed to extinction, and even the big wild boar king could not be born. How dare you say such things?

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Little Link always brings back a large cart of wild boar meat. Over time, the villagers and tourists have come to regard you as the wild boar meat supplier for the village."

In response, Huoya covered her mouth and chuckled, obviously finding Link's title of wild boar killer interesting.

But soon, Huoya came to his senses and noticed the message in Link's words.

"Oh, Little Link is preparing to do the promotion mission. Is this finally the official start of his career as a hunter?"

When Link heard what Huoya said, several black lines appeared on his forehead.

What are you talking about? I am a hunter, okay? Also, in your eyes, Sister Huoya, a hunter who has never hunted large monsters is not considered a formal hunter.

"never mind."

Link waved his hand and didn't bother with Huoya about this trivial matter. He just walked towards the meeting place with a dull look on his face.
