Black Technology System: Beast Hunter

Chapter 2 Phone
Zhao Dong's father is Zhao Jinhai, a level three hunter who earns remuneration by completing union tasks, which is also the main source of income for the Zhao family.

The reason why Zhao Dong wanted to become a hunter was because he was influenced by his father since he was a child, and on the other hand, he wanted to help his family reduce the burden as soon as possible.

Two days ago, Zhao Jinhai received a mission to "hunt the pig-headed beast".

The pig-headed beast is a second-level beast, with rough skin and thick flesh, and extremely strong defense. A row of spikes on its back that look like steel needles doubles its attack power.

In the circle of low-level hunters, the pig-headed beast is also called a sprint tank. Just by hearing this nickname, you can know how difficult it is to deal with the pig-headed beast. Although Zhao Jinhai is not weak, it is impossible to handle it with his own strength. , so for this mission, he invited his two friends Liu Xing and Xie Ping to act together.

Although these two are only second-level hunters, they are rich in experience and have worked with Zhao Jinhai for many years. They know each other well and cooperate with each other tacitly, and they can often display extraordinary combat effectiveness at critical moments.

In the past, the three of them teamed up and completed several tasks that were more difficult than hunting pig-headed beasts, and they all returned safely, so this time they were also full of confidence. After making all preparations, they left the city early yesterday morning went.

Originally, if the mission went well, the three of them should return tonight, but when Zhao Dong met his sister who was running out downstairs with the vegetables he bought, he realized that just 10 minutes ago, Liu Xing His family members received his distress call.

The phone was only connected for more than ten seconds. Liu Xing only said help, and there was no movement. No matter what he called after that, he heard a busy signal, and he could not be reached again.

The members of the Liu family were out of control, and immediately dialed Zhao Jinhai and Xie Ping, and got a notification that the phone was turned off. This time they couldn't sit still, and immediately told the other two families the news.

By the time Zhao Dong and his sister arrived at Liu's house, the Xie family had already been waiting for them in the house after receiving the news.

The Liu family has four members. Liu Xing and his wife have a son and a daughter. The daughter is Liu Yuan, who is the same age as Zhao Ying. She works locally. The son is Liu Zheng, who is studying at the Hunter Academy in City Y.There are three people in Xie's family. Xie Ping and his wife have a son who just turned three years old.

"What should we do, Old Liu and the others, is something really wrong?" Liu Xing's wife's eyes were red, and she was holding a handkerchief tightly in her hand, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"No, Lao Xie is very powerful, and it will definitely be fine." Xie Ping's wife held her youngest son in her arms, and looked at Zhao Dong with begging eyes, as if expecting to agree with her statement.

"Auntie Xie, don't panic yet. Dad and the others are experienced. Even if they encounter some trouble, it's not necessarily dangerous."

The whole room was full of women and children. Zhao Dong, the only man, naturally had to assume the responsibility of being the backbone. While slowing down his voice to comfort him, he asked Liu Ping's wife to explain in detail what happened when he received the phone call.

"Let me talk about it." Liu Yuan, who was still calm, took the initiative to stand up, repeated the content of the phone call, and continued; "My mother answered the call at the time, and I didn't hear what my father said. But then the phone must have fallen on the ground, I vaguely heard the sound of running, as if someone was chasing, then the phone hung up, and there was only a busy tone when I called again."

There is too little information, and there is no result to be analyzed at all. Zhao Dong knew in his heart that his father and the others probably had an accident, but although he was equally worried, he appeared calm on the surface. His attitude also infected the people in the room. The few women in the room were at least not as panicked as they were at first.

"I think it's better to ask the rescue team to take a look. Maybe they have encountered some troubles and can't get out." Zhao Ying suggested.

As hunter family members, they all understand that if the three of Zhao Jinhai really need to be rescued, the longer the time drags on, the greater the danger will be.

"I was on the way just now. I already called Brother Minghao. He should be here soon." Before Zhao Dong finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.

Sun Minghao is not only Zhao Ying's high school classmate, but also an old neighbor of the Zhao family's siblings. He is currently a second-level hunter. He passed the assessment last year and became a member of the rescue team of the H City Hunter Union.

"It seems that Uncle Zhao and the others are in trouble." Sun Minghao is obviously more experienced than those present in dealing with such unexpected incidents. After asking a few simple questions, he made a decision directly, and immediately contacted a few people who were willing to take on the mission by phone. Colleagues, after agreeing to meet up at the gate of the city with their equipment, they hurried out.

"Sister, you and Sister Yuan take care of the house, I'll go and say a few words to Brother Minghao." Zhao Dong saw it, hurriedly ordered, and chased Sun Minghao out the door.

"Come back quickly, don't follow me out of the city." Zhao Ying chased him to the door, and before he could say anything more, Zhao Dong had already disappeared.

When he got downstairs, Zhao Dong watched Sun Minghao walk away, and didn't catch up immediately. Instead, he stood at the door of the building, whispering to the system, discussing whether he could borrow two H-1 medicines from him, and return them after doing tasks.

"As long as you complete the task, you will be rewarded with genetic medicine." Hearing Zhao Dong's request, although the system didn't reject it outright, it still gave a negative answer.

"The absorption time of H-1 is 2 hours, but the interval is 24 hours. If injected consecutively, there is a 95% chance of a fusion reaction."

"What is a fusion reaction?" Zhao Dong asked anxiously.

"It's a gene chain reaction involving many complex factors." The system said flatly, "The specific symptoms are weakness of limbs and loss of autonomous coordination ability of the body. That is to say, even if you are injected with two H-1 medicines now, you You have to stay in bed for three days before you can regain mobility."

Originally, Zhao Dong thought that as long as he could quickly increase his strength, he would be able to survive no matter what kind of crime he was facing. He could lie in bed for three days, so he immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking a risk.

Just kidding, he was waiting for help. How could he waste that interstellar time? After three days, not only the day lilies were cold, but Dad and the three of them were probably too cold.

"No matter what, I must go to save Dad." Zhao Dong clenched his fists hard.

He followed and ran down, intending to go out of the city with the rescue team, but Zhao Dong also understood that his current strength was too weak, and if he really followed, it would hinder everyone, so he wanted to discuss with the system and use the genetic The potion has been forcibly upgraded, and with the strength of a first-level hunter, there is more hope for finding his father.

Just when Zhao Dong decided to go no matter how dangerous it was, the sound of the system tablet suddenly sounded in his head, making him jump in fright.

"The task is being released..."

"Please ask the host to accept the task."

"What are you doing? I don't have time for indirect missions right now." Zhao Dong frowned, protesting against the system's behavior of sending out missions without saying a word.

But even though he was a little dissatisfied, he still subconsciously chose to accept the task, and several messages immediately appeared in front of him.

"Mission objective: Collect the original ecological plant cabbage."

"Task period: 24 hours."

"Mission reward: G-0 cell weakening agent X1."

Zhao Dong glanced at it casually and immediately noticed the difference. The potion rewarded by the mission seemed to be one level higher than the gene potion in the gift package.

"G-0 is an auxiliary agent, and its effect is to quickly inhibit the activity of biological cells, hinder tissue microcirculation, and destroy capillaries."

The system seemed to understand his question and explained flatly.

"In other words, this is an auxiliary attack-type potion?" Zhao Dong's mind was active, and it took only 0.1 second to understand the true effect of this potion, and his eyes lit up.

"That's right, with the G-0 potion, although you can't directly improve your hard power, soft power can also play a decisive role at critical moments." The system said plainly.

"Great, system, you are really interesting." Zhao Dong's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but at this moment, he noticed the goal of this mission, and his face immediately darkened.

"System, you are too dark. Cabbage is a second-class ingredient. Even if I lose all my money, I can't afford it." Zhao Dong wailed.

"21685." The system said a number, and said unhurriedly, "I checked the current market price of cabbage, the money is enough to buy a cabbage, and there is still 96.3 yuan left."

Zhao Dong opened his mouth wide and said with a pale face: "You, you, how do you know how much money I have in my little vault?"

"As I said, I can communicate with the host." The voice of the system tablet, no matter how you hear it, has a taste of gloating, "When you were buying potatoes just now, you thought of that small vault at least three times. Can’t even see it.”

"Doesn't that mean that no matter what I think, you will know it clearly?" Zhao Dong was furious in an instant.

How can this work, is it possible to make some small intracranial movies by yourself in the future, or something else, and have to share it with the system?
"What are you thinking about?" The system received Zhao Dong's thoughts again, and immediately said in a flat voice full of disgust, "I will only receive information related to the mission, as for other useless information, it will be treated as junk information and directly classified Get rid of it."

"That's good." Zhao Dong heaved a sigh of relief, inexplicably feeling like being disciplined by his sister, but this thought was only a flash, and was quickly forgotten by him.

Now he didn't have time to think about other things. The most important thing was to get the cabbage first, and then rush to the gate of the city to join the rescue team as soon as possible.

Black market in the west of the city.

When Zhao Dong showed up for the second time, Ben Wuzhang's vegetable seller thought he was here to return the goods. She immediately looked alert and assumed a high profile to keep others away.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Dong grabbed a piece of cabbage and paid for it without saying a word, and then ran away quickly, leaving only the vegetable seller sitting behind the vegetable stall with a dull look on her face.

"Now your assets are 95.60 yuan."

As if he still thought Zhao Dong was careless, when Zhao Dong ran towards the city gate, the system did not forget to remind him that the small treasury was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Zhao Dong suddenly felt sad. The money was the result of his hard work for a year. He originally wanted to surprise his sister on her birthday, but now all the hard work for a year has gone to waste.

"Friendly reminder: Money is for spending, and you can only make money if you know how to spend it." The system said coolly, "The only way to get rich is to improve your ability to make money."

"This guy." Zhao Dong didn't have time to reply, he could only mutter to himself while running, originally he thought that the system was his good brother, why did he suddenly feel like he married a prodigal wife.
