New Gods of North America

Wayne originally thought that the "Hunter Association's method" that Inessa mentioned would be something very convenient like "life hacks".

Unexpectedly, when Lina finished cleaning the table and Wayne was washing the dishes, Inesa actually brought him a small square leather bag.

Judging from the size, it can hold about four cans of Coke.

"Mr. Wayne, the test method I mentioned is here. You can try it yourself later. It's best to find a relatively private place, such as your own bedroom."

After that, Inesa added solemnly, "Please remember that the contents of test tubes 1 and 7 cannot be drunk. Just skip them if you encounter them."

And test tubes?

Wayne was curious, "What would happen if I accidentally drank it?"

Inissa said simply: "You will die."

(￣▽￣)

So exciting?!

So after Wayne finished washing, he quickly took the bag back to his room.

When I opened it, I found a small wooden box and a letter inside.

After opening the letter and unfolding it, there was a line of words at the top: "A letter to novice hunters."

It's a batch print version.

“Hello, dear friend.

"Congratulations on passing the Hunter Association's Senior Hunter's Initial Character Certification. In order to help you deepen your understanding of yourself and enter the role of "Hunter" more quickly, we have prepared the following test for you. Please follow the prompts and complete it alone in a relatively safe space.

"Note: This test is not too dangerous. For any content you do not understand, please consult an experienced hunter. If an experienced hunter has unfortunately died in a hunt, please contact the Hunter Association in a timely manner.

"The additional tools you'll need are a container for liquids and a sharp object."

Containers that can hold liquids and sharp objects...

Wayne went to the restaurant to get a goblet, then found a needle, then picked up the letter and continued reading.

“First, you need to determine your own field.

"Step 1: Please take out the No. 1 test tube from the box and drink the liquid in it appropriately."

Wayne opened the small wooden box and found two rows of test tubes inside. The liquids inside were of different colors and looked very colorful.

Hmm...

Inesha said that the contents of test tube No. 1 cannot be drunk.

jump over.

"Step 2: Please take out test tube No. 2 from the box and drink the liquid in it appropriately."

Then Wayne found test tube No. 2, which contained a transparent liquid, pulled out the cork, and took a small sip.

This thing seems to be holy water...

The quality just seems not so good.

Slightly spicy.

"Step 3: Please take out the No. 3 test tube from the box and drink the liquid in it appropriately."

Drink again?

Wayne changed the test tube, and this time it had a bitter, astringent, burnt smell.

Please choose the one you like more based on your personal preference.

"If you choose test tube No. 1, please go to step 4; if you choose test tube No. 2, please go to step 7; if you choose test tube No. 3, please go to step 10."

Slightly spicy and bitter...

Wayne chose the spicy one and went down to step seven.

"Step 7: Please take out the No. 6 test tube from the box and drink the liquid in it appropriately."

Still drinking.

What a wine tasting conference.

Wayne took a sip of the emerald green liquid in test tube No. 6 and almost sprayed it out.

So sour.

Is this vinegar?

"At this point, if your body still has no abnormalities or adverse reactions, and you do not like the liquid in test tube No. 6, then the spiritual realm you belong to is most likely 'life'. Please turn it over after confirming the result."

Hmm...

There was nothing wrong with my body, but as for the vinegar...

When eating pasta, should I be considered to like it?

Continue reading below.

"Otherwise, try drinking the liquid in test tube No. 7 and go to step 15."

Wayne was about to take test tube No. 7, but when he remembered Inissa's instructions, he quickly retracted his hand.

What's going on?

Didn’t they say that drinking test tube No. 7 would also kill you?

Wayne frowned and read it again, then found that he seemed to understand the logic.

This thing should use the method of elimination.

Test tube No. 1 was probably deliberately poisoned to prevent the item from being stolen or the body from being touched.

Number 2 is holy water, so numbers 2 and 3 probably use the binary opposition of sacredness and darkness to initially divide people on both sides.

Then, based on the body's reaction, we can try one by one, and based on the body's reaction, the person taking the medicine can roughly determine which category he or she belongs to.

And if the field finally measured by the person who drinks the medicine is hostile to them, then this letter will trick the person into drinking the poisonous test tube No. 7 and send the person away directly.

Wayne tried to reverse the process and felt that the so-called "Hunter Association" probably stood on the side of "Order".

They don’t care whether you are holy or “dark”, and are fairly friendly to “life”, but if you stand in front of it, they will take you away with a tube of poison.

Killing is decisive.

Wayne turned the letter over and continued reading.

"Now, you have preliminarily determined the field you belong to. The next step is to test the "personality" of your own spiritual power foundation.

"The 'status' of the psychic base determines the upper limit of the rank you can possibly reach.

"Please pour the liquid in test tube No. 9 into a suitable container and drop a drop of your own blood into it.

"Note: Liquid may spill, please choose a convenient place to try."

Wayne thought about it, then poured the liquid in the test tube into a goblet, then took the goblet to the bathroom and put it in the toilet.

Prick your fingertip with a needle and drip blood.

Wayne was afraid of pain, so he didn't stab deep, and only a pitiful drop of blood came out.

After the blood dripped into the goblet, the liquid in the goblet instantly sprayed into a small fountain, just like carbonated soda with mint candy added.

Then liquid with bubbles continued to flow out of the cup, gurgling, gurgling, and Wayne waited for two or three minutes but it didn't stop.

How can this be called "may overflow"?

It's spraying harder than a sprinkler truck.

Wayne didn't know how long it would last, so he hurried back to the room to get the letter and planned to continue reading it.

"The psychic-based "status" is not completely equivalent to the hunter's current strength. It can only indicate the upper limit of an individual's potential.

"A qualified hunter never hunts without preparation, and never gets discouraged when facing stronger prey. So if the test results are not ideal, please don't give up.

"Test standard: Take the original volume of the liquid as 1. If the volume of the liquid expands to 2 temporarily, which is twice its original volume, it means that the upper limit of the level you can reach is level 2.

"If the volume of the liquid expands briefly to 4, that is, it doubles and then doubles again, it means that the upper limit of the level you can reach is level 3.

"By analogy, every time the volume of the overflow doubles, the upper limit of the rank you may reach will be one rank higher. If the multiple is less than the upper limit, it will be rounded down.

"If the initial volume increase is less than two times, it is level 1. Unfortunately, I'm afraid you are not suitable to be a hunter."

Wayne turned his head and looked at the "small fountain" in the toilet that was still gushing out...

hiss……

If calculated by volume increase,

I think I'm pretty good?
