Monster Hunter Gathering

--------------

“This wine is amazing!”

At that moment, in the Wild Wolf Bar, Jack happily drank the wine that Nie Chiwu brought out. "I never thought whiskey could have such a unique flavor! Could this be some high-society bar?"

"Ha! Even the upper class can't drink it! This is a specialty of our place!" Nie Chiwu said proudly, "The barrels used to brew Fire Dragon Whisky are smoked by the breath of a fire dragon! Otherwise, how could this wine be called Fire Dragon Whisky?"

"That's a great joke! But with this flavor, I wouldn't believe it even if it were a barrel smoked by a fire dragon!" Jack thought Nie Chiwu was joking, but he still said, "You just said you wanted to become a legend in Night City! I believe you, buddy!"

"I'll become a legend in Night City, too!" Jack said excitedly. "Once I become a legend, I'll be able to leave my own wine on the wine list in my next life! I've already thought of it!"

Jack spoke excitedly, and Nie Chiwu was looking at Jack's mouth, reciting the same wine recipe in his mind as Jack's.

"One part vodka, on the rocks, lime juice, ginger beer. And most importantly... a little love."

"Jack." Nie Chiwu grinned. "You will become a big shot, a real big shot."

Chapter 197: Kazuma's incredible luck! Monster traces found!

On the other hand, Nie Chiwu was drinking with Jack while David and the others went to find Lao Wei, but He Zhen was in trouble after rushing out of Misty's Psychic Hall.

At this moment, Kazuma was being stuffed into the trunk of a car by a few thugs, and no one knew where he was being taken.

"I can't believe they caught this idiot who doesn't even have a prosthetic." The man sitting in the front of the car said as he drove: "I just scanned it, and this guy doesn't even have any implants! Ha! He looks like he's almost an adult, and there's actually a guy like him who doesn't have any implants!"

"You know what, this guy is really resistant to anesthesia!" Another arrogant thug also said: "It took two doses of drugs to get anesthesia! He is just like a wild boar."

"Those two pills are enough for him to sleep for a whole day," the thug driving the car said, "Our job now is to get him to the filming location. The rest is to take the money and enjoy ourselves!"

"Damn, those rich people are really extravagant." The arrogant thug cursed, "And they even let us catch a guy who has barely had prosthetics installed to film Mewtwo. How perverted."

"You don't understand. It's the Mewtwo that's exciting to film without any prosthetics." The thug driving the car said, "You can film the Mewtwo with a bunch of implants any way you want, but the ones with only a few implants are rare!"

What the two thugs didn't know was that Kazuma in the trunk had already recovered from the anesthetic that could paralyze wild boars for a whole day, and he also heard the conversation between the two people in front of the car.

"Damn it! You kidnapped me!" Kazuma was angry.

He came to Night City to see the legendary sex dolls! But now he's been kidnapped and filmed with Mewtwo!

Now Kazuma's hands and feet were bound with strong iron chains... These kidnappers actually used chains to tie people up! Are they that cautious?

Furthermore, Kazuma eavesdropped on the two guys in front of him and knew immediately that they weren't being taken away to film some good Mewtwo. From reading David's story and experiencing it in the game, Kazuma knew that Black Mewtwo wasn't a good thing! This group of people must be trying to capture him to film some heavy-tasting Mewtwo!

Kazuma felt like crying but had no tears at this moment.

He clearly has a very high luck score in daily activities like rock-paper-scissors and betting! Why does he always run into such awful things?

Although the effect of the anesthetic has worn off, Kazuma's hands and feet are now tied with chains, and he can't break free for a while.

Should I ask Nie Chiwu and others for help?

Kazuma tentatively imagined what it would be like if he returned to the gathering like this, or asked Nie Chiwu for help...

Kazuma excluded the more righteous members among the hunters and imagined it for the time being, and went straight to Hong Wen.

Those bastards will definitely laugh at me for half a year! Even after half a year, they will definitely bring this up from time to time!

"Yada! I absolutely don't want to become the hunters' laughing stock! I must use my own wits to break free!"

Kazuma struggled to get to the edge of the trunk, trying to see where he was through the gap.

At the same time, he also wanted to try to see if he could loosen the chain on his wrist.

Kazuma quickly realized that he seemed to be taken to a remote, deserted place by these two thugs. There were containers everywhere... There seemed to be a facility similar to a power plant not far away?

For some reason, Kazuma felt something was wrong the moment he saw the small power plant.

It's that sense of crisis, as if a Demon King's army leader is about to be attacked.

Just as Kazuma was thinking this, he suddenly heard the two thugs in front of him exclaim.

"Fuck! What the hell is that?!"

The next moment, Kazuma felt a sense of weightlessness, as if the driver had turned the steering wheel directly, followed by a violent collision.

"Where did this monster come from!"

Kazuma only heard the two thugs' screams and curses coming from outside the car, mixed with the sound of gunfire.

However, Kazuma could vaguely hear some sounds as if a bullet hit something hard and ricocheted.

But then, Kazuma heard the crisp sound of horse hooves, followed by a few heavy hits, and the voices of the gangsters disappeared.

"!"

Kazuma was so frightened that his eyes widened and he even held his breath, trying to see what was going on.

But through the gap, Kazuma only saw a silver-white figure passing through his sight and running towards the power plant.

"Then what should I do?" Kazuma struggled to get out of the trunk, and began to try to use magic on the chains.

After repeatedly using fire and ice to contact one of the iron rings, Kazuma finally managed to get out of the trunk after a few minutes and prepared to deal with the chain on his feet.

"That one just now was..."

Kazuma raised his head to see if what he just saw was the target of the mission, and saw a violent explosion at a power plant not far from him.

During the explosion, a huge container was blown away by the shock wave and fell towards Kazuma...

Kazuma instinctively wanted to run away, but just as he was about to move his legs, he tripped over his own legs that were tied together.

"So where did my luck go!!!!" Kazuma yelled as he was crushed to the ground by the falling container.

As usual, the colorful dazzling cat car, Kazuma was thrown back to the gate of the camp by the colorful Felyne cat with a tired look on his face, and then he lay on the ground and didn't want to move.

"what?"

Iwatani Naofumi, who had just come out of the cafeteria and was about to go to the warehouse to get some supplies, happened to see Kazuma returning on the cat car: "Didn't you go to Night City with the Grand Commander and the others? How come you're back so soon?"

"Is Night City fun?" Naofumi Iwaya asked Kazuma with good intentions.

Kazuma, on the ground, slowly, slowly curled up his legs, buried his face in his knees and cried bitterly: "This is not fun at all!!! I was hit by a container falling from the sky, my cat car... oooooo..."

"Container?" Naofumi Iwatani looked puzzled.

Naofumi Iwaya was a little confused, but after thinking about it seriously, he chose to contact Nie Chiwu, who was still drinking with Jack in Night City.

"What? With a real cat car?" Nie Chiwu's face was full of questions. "How can he even drive a cat car in Night City? What are we doing yet?"

"Wait? Why did the exploration progress bar increase when I suddenly appeared here?..."

“Wow! As expected of Kazuma! He managed to do something we couldn’t do so quickly! He even found traces of the monster! His luck is definitely high!”

Chapter 198: Outside! You have to call me Pale Hoof!

"Okay, okay."

Not long after, Kazuma was lying in the cat lady's arms, and the cat lady patted his head: "Don't cry, hunter Kazuma did a good job."

"Grandma Cat! You are definitely on the list of people I respect, and you will always be ranked number one!" Kazuma said this with tears in his eyes as he was being touched on the head in Grandma Cat's arms.

After learning about the incident with the real cat car, the hunters who were originally in Night City found some time to leave and returned to the gathering.

Seeing Kazuma crying in the cat lady's arms, the new hunters couldn't help but have some subtle expressions...

"What's wrong with him?" David's face was full of question marks.

He had just received a lot of inhibitors from Lao Wei to relieve the burden of his prosthetics, but when he came back, he found a guy whose mental state was even more broken than his own...

"It seems Hunter Kazuma has met the hunters' target this time," said the cat lady with a kind smile, "but it seems Hunter Kazuma has failed."

Granny Cat patted Kazuma's head again, then helped him up from her arms: "Granny still has work to do at the rally, don't cry anymore, Granny will make something that Hunter Kazuma likes."

The cat lady touched Kazuma's head for the last time before leaving, and as soon as she left, Kazuma was surrounded by hunters.

"Hmm... I don't think it's that simple." Nie Chiwu rubbed his chin. "How did Kazuma suddenly discover the monster? He hasn't been gone for long."

"And how did you become like this? It's not simple!" Nie Chiwu waved his hand and said, "Tell the truth, Kazuma! What happened after you left the Psychic Hall?"

“No… nothing happened…” Kazuma turned his head away.

"Hmm?" Nie Chiwu moved closer to He Zhen and looked at his guilty face. "Something's wrong! Nine out of ten, maybe even nine out of ten!"

"Where did you encounter the monster?" Nie Chiwu's eyes became serious, and he waved to the people behind him.

"It's by the river..." Kazuma lowered his head.

But the next moment, Nie Chiwu picked up the lazy Winged Lion and placed it in front of Kazuma: "Winged Lion! Is what Kazuma said true?"

"fake."

Winged Lion lay on the table: "It smells like a lie."

Kazuma's eyes widened. "Why is there a lie detector? Why did the Winged Lion suddenly have a lie detector function?"

"And! Why can you tell the smell of lies!" Kazuma shouted.

"Of course I developed it for Winged Lion," Nie Chiwu said bluntly, "Winged Lion is really useful!"

"Well, it's in the city..."

"Lie." The Winged Lion still saw through Kazuma's lie directly.

Kazuma froze for a moment, then lowered his head and spoke honestly, "Two thugs drugged me and drove me to a small power plant in the suburbs. They said they wanted to use me to film Black Mewtwo..."

"puff……"

Nie Chiwu bit his lip, trying not to laugh, then patted Kazuma's shoulder and said, "You've... you've worked so hard, Kazuma."

Kazuma lowered his head slightly.

"This is too much! Those bad guys!" Tanjiro was righteously angry: "Mr. Kazuma didn't do anything! They actually caught Mr. Kazuma!"

Kazuma lowered his head even lower.

"Isn't Kazuma a Hunter who arrived at the gathering before us, just like JoJo and Tanjiro?" David asked, somewhat confused. "Then how did he get knocked out by two thugs from Night City?"

David saw with his own eyes that Tanjiro and Joetsu could even react to their own Swansea.

Kazuma had buried his face in the table.

"I'm just a wimp! I don't train every day like JoJo and Tanjiro!" Kazuma said tearfully, "I didn't expect someone would inject me with an anesthetic just two blocks away!"

Seeing Kazuma bursting into tears, Nie Chiwu finally couldn't help laughing.

After a period of cheerful atmosphere, Nie Chiwu finally asked seriously about the information about the prey that Kazuma had seen.

The sound of horse hooves, silver, and power plants...

This information finally made Nie Chiwu's expression serious.

"Really... they gave us an exceeding target." Nie Chiwu sat down and rubbed his temple. "And it's in a place like Night City with plenty of electricity... They really think highly of us."

"This target... is difficult to deal with?" Seeing Nie Chiwu's expression, Iwaya Naofumi also frowned.

"The mythical beast Qilin..." Nie Chiwu said, rubbing his forehead: "It is... an ancient dragon species."

"!"

The hunters who had witnessed the Nergigante easily crushing the demonized Laos fell silent because of the three words "Ancient Dragon Species".

"Ancient dragon seed...what does that mean?" Shirou Emiya looked angry and something was wrong, so he asked.

"Well... let's seriously explain the news about the ancient dragon species, as well as the specific information about the Qilin." Nie Chiwu said this and asked the Felynns next to him to prepare.

During the preparation of Felynx, Nie Chiwu also explained to the new hunters what the ancient dragon species meant.

The pinnacle of natural ecology, an ancient being that has broken away from the basic ecosystem, possesses a powerful body and a strength that rivals natural disasters...

At this time, the Felyne cats brought up some information, including a huge drawing of a silver-white Qilin.

After hanging up the drawing, the hunters also saw the specific appearance of the Qilin.

Qilin [Picture]

"Isn't this... a unicorn!" Yang Le shouted: "A silver-white unicorn!"

"No wonder there are the sounds of horse hooves. It really looks like a unicorn..." Naofumi Iwatani also nodded.

"No, it's completely different from a unicorn!" Laos said directly, "I've learned all about it before! Its ecology and information are completely different from a unicorn! Unicorns can't control lightning!"

"Although Qilin isn't very strong among the ancient dragon species..."

Nie Chiwu began to introduce it somewhat helplessly: "But outside, we have to call it Pale Hoof, Thunder God... the Fantasy Beast Thunder Beast!"
