Two days later, in the early morning, Li Fan, who was pushing two large wooden barrels sideways, came to the archway at the entrance of Kara Village.
The storm of the pas de deux under the moon has passed, and Kara Village has returned to its former prosperity.
Teams of hunters and caravans preparing to set off crowded the village entrance.
If Li Fan was pushing something else, the enthusiastic hunters would definitely come forward to help.
But when they saw that the big wooden barrel was still full, they all gave way and exited a very wide road.
The reason is that this thing is used as a loading device in villages and towns.
After leaving the village, the only use is to fill it with explosives and mix it into explosive barrels.
"This is not a bomb barrel, please don't be nervous."
Li Fan reminded him and then silenced the discussion.
Just yesterday, a trade union field investigator stopped Li Fan.
I thought it was because of the cans or whereabouts were exposed, but the other party reminded me that bomb barrels were not allowed to enter villages and towns, and left.
Only then did Li Fan realize the real reason why he had received so much attention.
Seeing two large barrels rolling towards his home, the village chief Bazelli, who was lying on the rocking chair, stood up alertly.
"Village chief, don't get excited! I'm Li Fan."
"And me, meow!"
Behind the vat, Li Fan and Di Lu appeared and said hello.
Barzelli supported his old waist and sighed: "Li Fan, I can't stand being scared at my age..."
"This time the preparation is not sufficient. Next time I will add a label to the barrel."
Li Fan informed.
"What logo?"
"Foaming synovial fluid."
Bazelli looked at the two large wooden barrels, then looked at Li Fan, and asked tentatively: "Are these two filled with foaming synovial fluid?"
"Yes, we agreed before."
"This...is like this, Li Fan. When foaming synovial fluid penetrates into the water flow, it will indeed produce foam, but if the concentration is too low, it cannot be recognized as foaming synovial fluid."
Barzelli reminded.
"Don't worry, village chief, my foaming synovial fluid is absolutely authentic."
Li Fan patted the barrel confidently and said.
"All right."
Barzelli commanded an Ellu cat to notify the Chamber of Commerce.
Not long after, two members of the Chamber of Commerce arrived. After testing and identifying the substances in the barrel, they quickly determined that it was top-grade foaming synovial fluid with an ultra-high concentration.
In the end, Barzelli represented Kara Village and the United Chamber of Commerce and spent a total of 130,000 z to purchase two large barrels of foaming synovial fluid.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four big money bags hit the ground, and Li Fan suddenly felt that all the hard work along the way was worth it.
Entering the hunter's guild hall, Shilin saw Li Fan appear, her expression was extremely excited, and she jumped out from the counter.
"It's great that you're okay! The guild only received the warning of Velociraptor activities in Watermolin two days after you left."
Xilin took one of Li Fan's palms and squeezed it tightly.
"It's okay."
"Yes, it's best if we can return safely. There's no need to rush to hunt for the sand dragon or anything like it, and it won't harm the ecological balance."
"Uh... I've finished my hunting, and I'm here to redeem my reward this time."
Li Fan said as he lifted up the rolled contract and spread it vertically.
"Completed?...The certification seal is from the Shuhai Village branch..."
Shirin tilted her head to observe carefully, with disbelief in her eyes.
"There was a Tusandosaurus that escaped after being captured. I happened to bump into it and was killed by the hunter."
Li Fan explained.
"What an unexpected surprise."
Shirin sighed, took the contract and entered the counter to handle the reward exchange.
"By the way...Li Fan, how did you tan only two eye sockets? Is this a new makeup popular in other villages and towns?"
Shirin asked curiously while giving out the money bag.
"This is called... the panda smoky eye, and it is indeed popular outside."
Li Fan forced to explain, thinking that Shilin used a light ballistae as a weapon, and her observation skills were indeed extraordinary.
"What kind of monster is a panda...Forget it, thank you for helping the branch clear the backlog of contracts."
"You're welcome, I would like to ask if the two-star hunter assessment branch can do it?"
"Yes, but you have to go through a training course first."
Jenna, the waiter in pink who was sorting the books, was the first to respond.
"Is it also similar to mentor training?"
"No, the union sends instructors to provide unified guidance. There is only one teaching content, which is the application of armor. If you are confident that you can master it later, you can take the subsequent star promotion assessment on the same day. If you fail, you will retake the retest."
Jenna gave the answer.
Application of armor?
Isn’t it enough to just wear the armor?
Li Fan didn't expect that this also required special study.
"When are the coaching sessions available?"
"The day after tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, the location is on the first floor of the trade union. The instructor is Chu Yan. Do I need to register?"
Jenna looked through the records and responded.
"Okay, thank you."
"We met again!"
Shilin said unexpectedly next to her.
"That's not right. I can ask you if I don't understand something."
Li Fan thinks this is a good thing.
"The assessment for two-star promotion is very difficult, not to mention I don't have much time to study..."
Shireen lowered her head and said.
"So difficult?"
Li Fan didn't expect that he would fail the exam even if he wore armor.
"The first-time pass rate is said to be only 20%. It's difficult...actually, talent is more important."
Shireen explained.
"Let's work hard together then, bye."
Farewell to Shirin, Li Fan came to Eudora's house.
At this time, Eudora turned her back to the door and was chewing on the end of her quill in front of the table, looking up and thinking.
"Ah! Someone come and save him, my best friend Li Fan! He disappeared in the terrifying waterless forest... No, it seems too exaggerated to write like this."
Eudora denied.
Li Fan took a closer look out of curiosity, and his face was instantly filled with black lines.
Eudora, who was writing a rescue contract, felt someone beside her and raised her head warily.
"You...you weren't eaten by the Velociraptor?"
Eudora said in surprise.
"Who said I was eaten by a velociraptor?"
"Sorry, I saw that you haven't returned to the village for so long, so I thought you were in danger."
Eudora let out a long breath.
Bang! Dilu, who was carrying four big money bags, tripped over the threshold and fell into the house.
Crash! The coins spilled out of the bag and scattered all over the floor.
"I told you a long time ago that it will be very tiring for you to carry it all."
Li Fan said helplessly.
"It's okay, meow. I just want to deeply feel the burden that money brings."
Dilu broke free from the money bag and immediately began to pack it away.
Eudora was informed of the future's ins and outs, and Eudora became nervous when she heard about the dark night encounter with the union.
As a hunter determined to pursue the ancient dragon, the existence of the Guild Dark Night is no stranger to her.
If they just captured a bunch of three-star monsters, even if Guild Dark Night knew about it, they wouldn't even bother to investigate.
But the capture of Puff is likely to trigger a change in attitude.
"What are your plans for this?"
Eudora asked.
"I want to prepare to build a fighting arena first. If there is a forest farm, there will definitely be no shortage of space. The timber bear has also accumulated a lot, so the existence of monsters will be reasonable. Fighting skills performances can bring income, and hunters will come to challenge the trial.
If so, the monsters can also improve their strength through battle."
Li Fan talked about his plans for the future.
"It sounds like a big project, but the benefits after completion are also considerable, but the procedures are a bit difficult to complete."
Eudora analyzed.
"Is the procedure a bit difficult?"
Li Fan really didn't think much about this aspect.
"Yes, before my leg injury healed, I wanted to apply for the certification of the investigation agency, but the union said that I must first form a hunting group and provide a guarantee."
Eudora explained.
Li Fan immediately understood that the union did not object to the establishment of investigation agencies, and even hoped that the more the better.
But at least a hunting group is needed to guarantee the truth and prove that they have the qualifications to investigate.
Otherwise, if an accident occurs during ecological investigation in the field, we will have to rely on the union for rescue.
"Looking at it this way, the requirements of the arena are either high or low."
Li Fan speculated.
The arena involves monster breeding, protective confinement facilities, and regional security issues, so the certification level will definitely not be low.
"Only five-star hunters can establish a hunting group. There are still many shortcomings in the investigation organization. Anyway, let's work hard first."
Eudora felt that the initial request had not been achieved, and there was no point in thinking too much.
In the Maomao Roast Meat Shop, two people and one cat ate a meal.
Li Fan finally stopped eating until his stomach bulged.
This meal cost 4060z, which was undoubtedly a huge sum of money in the past, but now Li Fan doesn't really care.
In the afternoon, Li Fan wanted to see the vacant houses in Kala Village.
The duet under the moon once caused housing prices in the village to plummet. Now they have recovered slightly, but they are still at a low level.
It is said that 20,000 z can buy a pretty good two-story building.
But then I thought about my cabin outside the forest, where I lived comfortably and at ease. I was completely free from restraints when it came to practicing Tai Sword or wrestling with a bear.
There is no need to worry about the most critical safety issue. It seems that there is no need to buy real estate in the village.
However, he has not forgotten his original agreement to buy Dilu a house.
But Dilu also said that she prefers a wooden house outside the forest to living in a village.
What's going on? Is there no other use for my money besides upgrading equipment and eating and drinking...
After thinking for a moment, Li Fan noticed that there seemed to be no progress in the construction of the investigation agency for a long time.
Thinking of Eudora's injury, he quickly guessed the reason.
So Dilu and I counted out 50,000 z and placed them in front of Eudora.
"This is?"
Eudora looked at the two big money bags, wondering why.
“Investigating agency construction funding.”
Eudora hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes and shook his head and said, "No, I'm very grateful that you can stay and help me."
"You're welcome, this fund is not free. After the investigation agency is established, there will be a lot of information exchange with the Hunter Guild. This information is very valuable to me."
Li Fan gave the reason.
The investigation agency may have enough information on a single type of monster.
But at a broader level and in terms of timeliness, unions still have the absolute advantage.
"Okay, but I really have nothing to give back at the moment, so I'll give you half of the ownership of the investigation agency."
In Eudora's mind, Li Fan has not only been helping him establish an investigation agency, but he has also contributed a large share of the funds.
Only partners can provide such support before the investigative agency has a clue.
"Okay, when planning the expansion, remember to get a hive for Bear."
After bidding farewell to Eudora, Li Fan came to the weapons store and paid off the debt owed to the previous clerk.
Then he started the shopping mode in the village shop.
As for equipment upgrades, the union armor application course will start soon.
Li Fan feels that after studying, he may be able to avoid some detours when purchasing.
Under the setting sun, the fully loaded Chamber of Commerce truck, dragged by Marutori, left Kara Village and drove to the woodland hut.
A long way away, Li Fan saw Xiong Da sitting on the ground, looking lonely at the sunset.
Next to her, Taimei stands upright, nestled by two marutori.
"I'm back!"
Li Fan in the truck stood up and waved.
Xiong Da thought he heard wrongly, and even when he turned around and saw the truck, he didn't have much reaction.
But in an instant, he sensed something was wrong, landed on all fours, and rushed over with Tai Mei.
Marutori, who was towing the truck of the Chamber of Commerce, was so frightened that his legs were shaking.
Seeing this, Li Fan unbuttoned the bag and told him, "Just send it here, go back to the Chamber of Commerce, and don't wander around.
The frightened Marutori couldn't even hear what Li Fan said, but he quickly ran away without a trace.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!....
Goo! Goo! Goo!....
Xiong Da and Taimei ran up to him, both of them vehemently expressing their longing for Li Fan who had not returned for a long time.
After Li Fan gave out the high-quality forage and honey loaded in the truck, he put the tow strap on Tai Mei and completed the last leg of the truck's transportation.
The cabin has not been changed, there are signs of cleaning in front of the door, and the water in the sink is full.
Li Fan guessed that Eudora had taken the time to take care of it.
"Dilu, with so much supplies, shouldn't we build an additional warehouse?"
Most of the space on the first floor of the wooden house was used by Eudora to place bookcases.
The attic on the second floor houses an astronomical telescope and Dilu's nest, but there is no room left.
If Li Fan crams the purchased supplies into it, it will be crowded and his daily life will be inconvenient.
"Yes, meow, the wood has been piled up into a hill. It can build a very big warehouse."
Di Lu raised the cat's paw and gestured.
"I'll look for Eudora to study it tomorrow."
After dinner and wrestling strength training, it was already late at night.
Affected by the fatigue from the long journey, Li Fan felt that his strength had declined slightly compared to his peak state.
You need adequate rest to recover as quickly as possible.
Go to the depths of the forest, throw the healing ball by the lake, and Shasha appears in a crawling posture.
"Eat the meat first. As for the swamp you like to live in, there isn't one nearby. Just make do with it in the lake first."
Li Fan informed.
The basic needs of monsters are very simple, which are food and environment.
Although Shasha's capture felt a bit like making up the numbers, Li Fan felt that making the monster's life as comfortable as possible within his ability was the obligation he should fulfill after capturing it.
Shasha quickly swallowed the animal meat and when she shook her body off, she found that the mud on the carapace had solidified, so she turned around and jumped into the lake.
Seeing the silt spreading and sinking, Shasha let out a low groan and quickly climbed to the shore, slamming the carapace of his head against the ground.
"Isn't it just that there is no silt? That's not it."
Li Fan advised.
As the surface of the ground cracked, Shasha used the carapace on his head as a shovel to shovel dirt outwards, while his two front paws continued to plow away.
Not long after, one-third of the body was deep into the soil.
"I forgot...the earth sand dragon can burrow into the ground and dig holes."
