All my hunting commissions come from another world?

"Um...can I ask what this is?"

Anna pointed to the several black gun barrels pointing at her head and asked somewhat timidly.

"Don't worry, they're just some decorations."

'Gentle older sister' Melo had a smile on her face, but Anna looked more worried.

"Get up and walk around for a bit, see if there's anything wrong."

Melo pointed with the tip of her pen to an empty space to the side, where many sophisticated instruments that Anna couldn't understand were placed. She swallowed slightly, and then began to examine her body under Melo's guidance.

Just like before, as Anna moved, she noticed that many automatic weapons set up nearby were moving with her.

Anna could understand Melo's actions. The Herrscher core was currently inside her body, and if the Fifth Herrscher were to awaken, the consequences would be unimaginable if measures were not taken in time.

Even if you understand, a normal person would instinctively feel scared when faced with so many gun barrels!

"There should be no problem."

Melo waved his hand, and the instruments and weapons retracted. Anna had just breathed a sigh of relief when Melo's next words sent a shiver down her spine.

"Don't be too happy yet. There's something I left inside the head of this body. If you become a Herrscher again..."

Melo placed a fist, palm up, in front of Anna's eyes, then snapped it open.

BOOM!

"..."

"Thank you."

After a moment of silence, Anna bowed deeply to the short, blue-haired man in front of her. Her ability to perceive the world again was largely thanks to Melo.

You should thank them more.

Melo gestured towards the wind direction near the door, then took the data in his hand and went into the laboratory.

Anna turned her head and saw Zhou Si walking in with a pink-haired girl.

Before Anna could even greet her, the pink-haired girl excitedly ran over and started circling around her, asking her all sorts of questions as she did so.

Are you feeling unwell?

"Are there any strange noises in my head?"

"Please be sure to tell me if you have any questions."

"..."

Alicia was practically ready to pounce on it, but seeing Anna's pleading look, Zhou Si grabbed the pink-haired creature back.

"Don't scare them."

Zhou Si was somewhat speechless. He knew you were agitated, but you should at least have some sense of propriety.

After a brief moment of excitement, Ellie realized her lapse in composure and looked at Anna somewhat embarrassed.

"Sorry, I was just a little too excited..."

"It's alright..."

Anna was just a little frightened for a moment and didn't really have any other thoughts about Ellie. After all, the doctor had just mentioned that Anna needed to thank them.

"Mr. Zhou Si, and who is this gentleman?"

"Oh, theoretically speaking, she should be your mother now?"

?

A question mark slowly appeared above Anna's head, mainly because Zhou Si's words were a bit too difficult for her to understand.

"The genes in your current body were provided by her. If you were to do a paternity test, you two should be 100% identical."

Zhou Si gave a thumbs up, saying, "Even a mother and daughter aren't as close as you two."

Couldn't you just say it clearly?

Anna's eyes held a hint of resentment, but that emotion lasted less than a second. After hearing Zhou Si's explanation, she immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Ellie.

"Thank you very much."

"I'm so glad I could help you!"

Ellie's joy was palpable. She could feel the rhythm of the Herrscher core within Anna's body. The Herrscher that Zhou Si had mentioned, possessing human consciousness and fighting for humanity, was actually standing right in front of her.

This feeling of finally finding someone like her is something only she can truly understand.

"You are... Lady Alicia?"

Anna's eyes widened. She finally recognized the pink-haired woman in front of her. It was none other than Lady Alicia, the one who led the team that killed three Herrschers.

She joined the branch of the Fire Moth, so she didn't see Alicia at the welcome party, but she knew a lot about the legends that circulated in the base, even though she wasn't used to socializing.

She used to regard Alicia as her role model, but unfortunately she never had the chance to go to headquarters.

"It's me?"

Alicia patted her chest confidently and even revealed her identity as a Herrscher.

Seeing that the two had started chatting, Zhou Si left the lab, leaving the space to them.

Stepping out of the laboratory, the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling. The warm sunlight shone on my body, completely dispelling the chill brought from the icy cliff.

Zhou Si stretched his arms lazily, his gaze sweeping over the now drastically changed Tianqian Sand Plain base camp before quickly landing on that familiar figure.

Zhou Si stealthily approached, her stealth skills seemingly having improved considerably. Even after getting right behind Lone Bird, she didn't notice Zhou Si's approach.

"What are you doing, you bird!"

Zhou Si suddenly slapped the lone bird's left shoulder, then shouted and poked his head out from the bird's right side.

But just as he got halfway there, he met the lone bird's gaze, and the smile on Zhou Si's face vanished instantly.

Lone Bird placed the props in his hand on the table, looked helplessly at Zhou Si who was crouching and defending himself with his head in his hands, and gently tapped his head.

Zhou Si looked up and saw that the lone bird was handing him an apple.

"Eat?"

"eat!"

After quickly finishing the apple in her hand, Zhou Si casually grabbed two pieces of portable food from the Lonely Bird prop box and stuffed them into her mouth, looking at what she was preparing with some curiosity.

"Another new mission?"

Lonely Bird sighed deeply. Sometimes she really wondered if Zhou Si was genuinely stupid or just pretending, otherwise why could she always get so angry at times like this?

"We learned the location of the Guardian Village from the Long-Eared Sage, and we're going to take Nata home."

"It seems there was such a thing."

Zhou Si suddenly realized that Nata seemed to be the same child from before.

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, you go and take care of your own business first."

Lone Bird shook his head. There was no rush regarding the Guardian Village. They were still preparing, and even Nata himself wasn't in a hurry.

After all, the whereabouts of that Lockblade Dragon are still unknown, and there are still too many mysteries surrounding the Forbidden Land and the Ancient Dragon Capital.

As for Zhou Si, there are still many messes waiting for him to clean up.

"Aaaaaaah, I really want to rest!"

Zhou Si looked at the sky with some despair. Although he had been mentally prepared when he agreed to that request, the intensity of the attack was still beyond his expectations.

Opening the Hunter's Book again, the Frozen Peak Dragon quest is complete. Although that big guy wasn't ultimately defeated, it had separated from the Herrscher Core and could no longer have a significant impact on the ecosystem.

The Hunter's Book is also quite humane; it doesn't require Zhou Si to hunt down any monsters after he completed his mission.

Even so, Dongfenglong's current condition is not good.

The severely injured Frozen Peak Dragon was placed deep within the Ice Mist Cliff by the Hunter's Guild. The guild, together with Rhodes Island and Dr. Mebius, also set up a temporary research institute there to study the mysteries of the Frozen Peak Dragon.

After all, it is not only an extremely rare super-large sea dragon species, but it also once fused with the core of a Herrscher, making it extremely valuable as an experimental subject. Even if they had to brave the severe cold of the icy mist cliff, those scholars still flocked to it.

However, the Frozen Peak Dragon itself didn't seem to have much of an opinion on this. After all, it was severely injured and needed a lot of time to recover. With the guild feeding it, at least it didn't have to worry about food for a while.

Meanwhile, Zhou Si's Hunter's Book has expanded to include new modules after he completed the mission of defeating the Frozen Peak Dragon.

A new option for Gathering Missions has been added below the original mission interface.

Next to the gathering mission, an icon for the gathering area is grayed out.

After Zhou Si clicked out of curiosity, Bai's voice came into her mind.

"Boss, the meeting place area is still under renovation. Please come back to explore it later!"

Behind that sound, there were also sounds of heave-ho and hammering.

Zhou Si's lips twitched. So you guys really are renovating.

Since that's the case, let's put the meeting place aside for now and take a look at what's included in this meeting mission.

After opening the Gathering Hall icon, a white virtual figure suddenly popped out of the Hunter's Book.

"Boss, next I'll introduce you to the new section of the Hunter's Book: Gathering Hall Quests!"

The chibi-style character, Xiaobai, holds up a pointer and points to the task markers on the book.

"As we all know, the quests in the Hunter's Book are collected from various worlds, while village quests are mainly issued by the Hunter's Book to encourage hunters to improve their strength. Therefore, village quests are generally less difficult, and the rewards are usually very common investigation points."

Where is it low? May I ask?

Zhou Si stared at the white figure on the Hunter's Book with the expression of an old man looking at his phone on the subway, but unfortunately, this chibi version of the white figure seemed to be just a pre-programmed program and could not interact with Zhou Si. After all, it should still be grinding dust in the Gathering Hall area at this time.

The introduction of the chibi version of Bai is still ongoing.

"Gathering quests will collect requests from various worlds, with varying levels of difficulty. Hunters can choose to accept them based on their own circumstances, but they are generally more difficult than village quests."

"Moreover, the compensation will be based on the original amount, plus additional rewards provided by the client."

"The gathering place area is a special area where hunters can communicate with their partners and clients afterward. It will be an independent space located outside the world."

"After obtaining the hunter's permission, all connected companions are free to enter and exit the gathering place area."

Q-version Bai pushed up his non-existent glasses on his nose. Zhou Si nodded thoughtfully, meaning that the village quest was the main storyline, while the gathering quest was a side quest that could be done or not.

The meeting place provided Zhou Si and his group with a space to communicate.

But Zhou Si felt that there was still potential for development in this place.

However, since the renovation isn't finished yet, let's leave that aside for now.

Let's first take a look at what gathering place missions are available now.

[Helping a poor girl escape captivity] 2 stars (lower rank)

[Many hands make light work] 5-star lower rank

[Capture Red Dragon Hatchling] 3-Star Low Rank

These three tasks have such different naming styles.

And is the second task really not written incorrectly?

Looking at the task list in the meeting place, Zhou Si fell into thought for a moment. However, these tasks were surprisingly not time-limited, so Zhou Si was not in a hurry. He should deal with the things at hand first.

"Zhou Si, Lord Fabius wants to see you."

"Come right away."

A voice from not far away interrupted Zhou Si's thoughts. After a brief response, Zhou Si closed the Hunter's Book.

Since there are no strict requirements, we can deal with these tasks later. Let's first see what Lord Fabius has to do.

......

As the leader of the Forbidden Lands Investigation Team, Fabius is not only a veteran hunter but also an important figure in the guild, so he naturally has his own office in the newly built headquarters.

This was Zhou Si's first time in this place, and he had to admit that seeing hunters in the new headquarters established by Rhodes Island felt quite out of place.

Pushing open the door, Zhou Si saw Fabius sitting at his desk, holding a paper document in his hand. He was reading it with his head down, and Zhou Si couldn't see his expression.

But judging from Fabius's furrowed brow, the contents of that piece of paper didn't seem to be good news.

dong dong dong.
