365 days of playing the knife

The hunter exam is really very casual, basically whichever examiner has time will be the top one.Just like the time when Hotaru was the examiner, it was completely driven by Enxi to put the duck on the shelves.

After all, it is more cost-effective to conceive new delicacies if you have so much time to test candidates.Food hunter Men Qi said so.

"Mr. Yingwan! I heard that you plan to be the examiner this time?" Menqi's lively voice came from the phone.

She is the pink-haired girl who was brushed off when Hotaru was an examiner.The character is quite enthusiastic and unrestrained.Maybe it's because girls naturally like cute things, or maybe it's because Hotaru brushed her off back then and impressed her deeply.

After failing the exam, Menqi spent a year honing her (chopper) knife skills.After she passed the second exam and became a hunter, she further understood that the best thing to say in the hunter's world is strength.

Even being a gourmet hunter is not enough as long as you know how to cook gourmet food. Those who are not strong enough can't even get the ingredients.

For this reason, after learning the ability to read, Men Qi specially studied with Ying Wan for a period of time-the kind of learning method that Ying Wan ran around the world and Men Qi chased everywhere.

Later, I didn't know whether it was Yingwan's luck or Menqi's luck. Along the way, Menqi found a variety of ingredients, as well as various ancient food recipes left over.

Coupled with her natural art-like taste and endless curiosity, when Men Qi came back to her senses, she had already become a one-star gourmet hunter—the youngest one-star gourmet hunter in the history of the Hunter Association. .

For this, Menqi is very grateful to Yingwan. In her opinion, whether it is opportunities around the world or her own strength, a large part of her deeper understanding of food hunters is due to Yingwan.

In Yingwan's mind, Menqi probably belonged to the group of (relic) hunters who played hide-and-seek with him, and didn't even notice that he had an extra little girl.

"Well, I have this plan." Hotaru replied, "Speaking of which, this time it seems that you also..."

"I didn't expect Mr. Yingmaru to pay attention to this? This time the second round of exams is me and Bharat as the examiners!" Men Qi was very happy about this, and his tone raised a few tones.Hearing Men Qi calling his name, Bharat, who was sitting at the dining table, turned his head to look at him.

I'm on the phone with Mr. Hotaru.As Menqi's partner, Buhara knew better than anyone how much Menqi liked that bounty hunter.Hmm...Although Buhara thinks that Men Qi's liking is largely due to the other person's appearance.

Because Men Qi had mentioned to him more than once that she wanted to see Hotaru eating her food with a cute expression on her face.

The first level of the hunter exam has always been used to kill people, and the subsequent levels will become more and more difficult. According to Menqi's personality... Now even Yingwan has to be added...

"Probably no candidate will be able to pass this time." Buhara's chubby face showed no regret at all.

"Shut up! Buhara! ——Mr. Yingwan, I'm not talking about you!" Men Qi explained to the phone, "Speaking of which, do you need me to take special care of people that Mr. Yingwan knows?"

"Eh? Don't you need it?" Men Qi looked a little frustrated, and Buhara complained in his heart. Your special care will probably make the other party's not-so-high possibility of clearing the level even lower.

Whether Men Qi's character is good or bad is not too bad.However, as long as these reasonably reasonable personalities encounter cooking-related matters, they will forget themselves and become quite harsh.

At this time, even if it will grow, it may be useless.

"Okay then, Mr. Hotaru, see you in the exam room!" Men Qi slumped down on the sofa as she listened to the phone call that she hung up voluntarily.

"Bharat, this time the exam questions have been decided."

"Well, what is it?"

"Asrah wine snail."

"It turned out to be this?" Bharat was a little surprised, "I thought you would choose something more novel."

Men Qi did not refute, "Indeed, I have thought about the food in a relatively remote small place, and then gave hints to candidates to test their concentration and observation skills. For example, I once visited a small island country named Great sushi."

"Sushi? I remember. At that time, you went to the sea to catch a lot of fish to try different ways of sushi."

"The taste is great! Especially the sushi made with Noahia salmon! The taste is delicious and tender, and the fish almost melts in your mouth! Even if you don't need extra processing, just sliced ​​and eaten raw is delicious! Also Yes, do you still remember? The Sanggui black 魭 that I accidentally caught at that time! It’s the one with fish flesh like mulberry fruit, and the one that has a light fragrance of osmanthus when steamed!”

When it comes to food, Men Qi's eyes are unbelievably bright, and Buhara has long been accustomed to his partner's chef-like upper body from time to time, so he narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Of course I remember, you were the one who took the name Sanggui Heiji. At that time I didn't expect that the strange-looking black fish would taste so sweet."

"As a gourmet hunter, it is natural to have an innovative spirit and the ability to discover new ingredients." In front of a gourmet hunter, there is nothing that cannot be eaten. Men Qi seemed to recall the taste of the fish, and unconsciously licked her upper lip , "Let's catch two more tomorrow, so I kind of miss that smell."

"Okay." Buhara nodded, not caring how far away the area where Sanggui Heiji lived was from their current location. "By the way, if the exam question is that, shall we wait for the examinees at the Milo Wetland?"

Men Qi waved her hand nonchalantly, "Isn't Saci the first examiner? The examiner of the Wannian long-distance race, just ask him to put the final stop in Shimero. Anyway, the wetland is quite suitable for killing people, isn't it? "

Just do what you say, Buhara looked at Menqi with super high mobility and called Sa Ci, the examiner of the first round-speaking of which, the gourmet hunter is good, and many hunters will not refuse the offer of a gourmet hunter. Well, no matter how pungent (crossed out) Men Qi’s personality is, once she eats a meal of Men Qi’s, she will basically forget all the unhappiness that happened before.

Because of this, Men Qi also has the phone numbers of many people—including the phone number of that hotaru who has been on the go all year round.

Speaking of these two people, Bharat suddenly remembered that Saci was also a hunter chasing Yingwan?

Because the name of Hotaru Ruins Killer is too loud, Saci, who has been committed to the protection and restoration of the ruins, always feels depressed for several days every time he hears that Hotaru has destroyed another ruin.

Yingwan, who was about a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Menqi, didn't know what happened here. After talking with Menqi on the phone, he didn't know where he was teleported by Xiaolong.

He patted the little red dragon sleeping on his head, and Yingwan had already gotten used to the little red dragon getting lost when he was alone. ——When Mingming took Xiao Jiejie (or went to the place where Xiao Jiejie was), he never got lost! ! !

"Are you patriarchal, or are you ungrateful for sex." After Yingwan said this, she felt the hair on her head being pulled lightly. "Okay, I won't talk about you anymore."

Here is a small town called Snowla Town.It looks quite backward, but it has everything in it.

Yingwan found a very simple bookstore, intending to buy two books to send back to Xiao Jiejie, and thinking about whether he could walk back. "It's about two weeks before the exam..."

take an exam?two weeks?A blond boy standing behind Hotaru flicked the book in his hand, he turned his attention away from the book a little, and saw a little boy carrying a big sword taller than himself.

... At this age, with this kind of attire.

The blond boy was very good at guessing the answer from the details. Almost instantly, he realized that the kid behind him was probably planning to take the exam as well.After a little hesitation, he turned over a page of the book and was not ready to strike up a conversation.

But because he is not ready to speak, it does not mean that Hotaru will not take the initiative.Hotaru raised his head and turned around, the first thing he saw was the blond boy.The blond boy is wearing a costume that is probably unique to some ethnic group. The background color is mainly blue, and the inside is all white clothes and pants, but even this kind of fat pullover costume is easy to see Show each other's slender figure.

The young man's short blonde hair goes over his ears, and his brown eyes give people a very gentle feeling. Hotaru hugged a book and tugged at the other party's cloak. The height difference of nearly fifty centimeters forced Hotaru to look up at the other party. .

Looking at the little boy's clear firefly green eyes and baby fat face, the blond boy couldn't be vigilant - even if he knew that the people who would take the hunter test would not be ordinary people.Putting his thoughts back a little, the boy showed a friendly smile that is very popular with children, "What's the matter, is there any book that I can't reach...?"

Hotaru, who was suddenly dissed (belittled) by his height, was silent, but he also understood how deceptive his appearance was, so he couldn't feel dissatisfied. "...I want to ask, do you know how to get to Kent City?"

Sure enough, he guessed right.This kind of thought flashed through his mind, the smile on the blond boy's face did not change, he squatted down and looked directly at Hotaru, "Kent City is a little far from here, and the only way to get there is by boat. There is also a transfer station, not including some accidents that will happen at sea during the period. The fastest speed will take about a week."

Okay, take the boat, and go to sea.Just the keyword of the sea is enough to make Hotaru decisively put his idea of ​​going back at the bottom.Hotaru lowered his eyes slightly, a little disappointed, but still politely thanked him. "Thanks."

"You're welcome, kid." The blond boy's right hand moved slightly, and for some reason he suddenly had an urge to rub the opponent's head, suppressing this impolite thought, he said to Yingwan, "Speaking of it, Are you planning to take the hunter exam this time?...Ah, sorry, it's because I heard you talking just now, so..."

"...En." Hotaru blinked, it was true that he wanted to participate, but he was not an examinee, but an examiner.

"Is that really the case?" The blond boy put away the book in his hand and put it back on the shelf, then he smiled at Hotaru, "My name is Kurapika, and I plan to take the exam this year. Do you want to form a team temporarily?"

The author has something to say: Hotaru: Sorry, I refuse.
