Chapter Four

In the eyes of Saiyans, people on Earth may be scum with only five in combat (with a gun), but in this unknown system setting, your IQ is not even five...

　　Feeling very depressed, you whip the wolf along the road and head towards the lake. The mountain road is not difficult to walk. After upgrading, you find that your body is much lighter, and fighting with wild beasts is not as hard as it was at the beginning. The only thing that bothers you is that it is too troublesome to collect the money left by the beasts. Every time the battle is over, you have to lie on the mountain to pick up the money one by one, which is too bad...

　　After walking on the mountain road for a long time, you have more and more complaints in your heart. Why is it that each character is a stylized game character without the ability to think independently, but the scene is restored so realistically, you seem to be in a real mountain forest, even the birds on the trees and the ants on the ground are really alive .

　　...Of course, random beasts that pop up and attack you are another topic.

　　Lost for a long time, you find that your physical strength will still be consumed when walking in the mountains. There is a red physical strength bar in the status bar. Once you run, it will drop very fast, and there is also a setting for hunger... Okay , you are a normal person, it is normal to feel hungry and tired, but you are also curious about whether those "although they are a little stupid, but they look like living people" game characters will not feel hungry, but this way... Do they actually eat or excrete?

　　After walking another section of the mountain road, just when you thought you were going to be trapped in the mountain and couldn't get out, suddenly you saw the color of the lake from a distance through the unusually luxuriant forest.

　　Finally found it? !

　　Dejected, you cheered up immediately, and quickly ran through the tree to the lake, and soon found Gon standing motionless on the tree holding a fishing rod not far away.

　　"Gon!"

　　You yelled at Gon from a distance, the voice was very loud, but Gon didn't respond as if he didn't hear him at all. You had to run a few steps closer, and at this moment Gon suddenly started to move, pulling the fishing rod vigorously and shouting: "Here we come!! He is the Lord of the Lake!!!!"

　　Suddenly there was a lot of movement in the lake. There seemed to be a huge monster struggling under the water surface, and bursts of water splashed to the shore. Gon jumped onto another tree, using the branch as a support point, and then lifted it hard. In an instant, a huge object flew out of the water and fell heavily on the muddy ground.

　　"Plop plop plop—"

　　The big fish flicked its tail vigorously and struggled, and you ran over cautiously, being slightly shocked by the size of the "Lord of the Lake". This thing is as big as a whale! But he was caught so easily , should he sigh that Gon deserves to be the real protagonist...

"It worked! Carrot potato!"

　　Gon jumped up happily, dropped his fishing rod and rushed over to give you a hug.　

　　"Gon.., congratulations...Gon." You were stunned unexpectedly, and it was not right to avoid it, so you could only hug Gon stiffly, and recited the lines cooperatively: "In this way, Aunt Mito will agree to your participation in the Hunter Exam."

　　"yes!" Gon pulled you around in circles: "Hahaha, this is one step closer to Dad! Thank you for coming to cheer me up! Carrot potato!"

　　"...You're welcome." Actually, you didn't do anything.

　　Soon the villagers all went up the mountain to look at Gon's booty, secretly pointing and saying: "The Lord of the lake has not been caught for many years", "Mit is very reluctant to bear Gon" and other words. Mito's face was ugly, but Gon didn't notice it at all, and happily told her that he had reached the agreement, and then ran back without waiting for you.

　　"That child is just like his father..." Gon's mother-in-law patted on the shoulder of Mito who watched Gon leave, and comforted him: "Let him go, this is the path he chose."

　　"..." Mito bit his lips, lowered his head and said nothing.

　　The moving parting scene, although the plot is the same, looks completely different from the anime. you thought.

　　...But why did you come here when you don't need to do anything?

　　No one paid any attention to you, each expressing their views on Gon's fishing for the Lord of the Lake. Go forward and talk to Mito, she is also immersed in her own sad world, and she only responds with "..." to you.

　　...so what the hell are you here for?

　　You take one last look at Mito, who is crying sadly, then turn around silently and go down the mountain.

　　As soon as I walked out of the mountain and returned to the village, the sky darkened in an instant, and the sky was fiery red, as if it was evening.

　　Now no matter what happens, it won't shock you. It turns out that the passage of time is set like this. You shrug it off. I thought that no matter how realistic the scene is, it really is still an unreal world.

　　Carrying the booty home, I smelled the aroma of food before I even entered the door. After pushing the door and entering the house, I saw colorful food on the dining table.

　　It's kind of like a barbecue, but you've never seen food like that before and think it might be a special ingredient in the world of hunters.

　　　　But are these food real ? can I really eat it?...

　　Even though you were hungry and the subtle colors smelled delicious, but you still didn't dare to touch it, your mother came out of the kitchen and walked up to you and said, "Are you back? Carrot Potato! You are going to take the hunter test with Gon tomorrow, and Mom is a bit reluctant."

　　This...is not your own will at all, you are completely forced to participate, okay?!...

　　You scratched your head, although you didn't hold out any hope, you still tried to ask: "Do I have to take the hunter exam?"

　　Mother turned around, looked at you with a smile and replied, "What are you talking about, kid, isn't it your dream to become a hunter?"

　　You don't give up, and continue to ask: "Can I not take the hunter exam?"

　　The mother still smiled: "What are you talking about, child, becoming a hunter is your dream."

　　"..." You gave up.

　　Think about it better, at least there are some differences between the two sentences of your mother's answer, not a complete repeater...

　　Then she stopped talking to you, looked at you motionless with a smile on her face, and talked to her, and she would just repeat: "The food is getting cold, go eat carrot potato", you don't care about those colorful meals. There is panic, but this seems to be a plot that cannot be skipped, so I have to go to the dining table, pull out the chair and sit down.

　　Your mother followed and sat down across from you, staring at the plate in front of her without moving.

　　... How can you make me to eat it…

　　You took a few mouthfuls of rice with chills all over your body, and unexpectedly found that the taste of these strangely colored food was still delicious. After eating, you ran up to the second floor as if escaping, wiped your mouth, and threw your tired body onto the bed.

　　After lying down for an unknown period of time, you feel that your fatigue has been swept away, and your state seems to have recovered.

　　I thought it must be the next day, but when I opened my eyes, I found that the hands of the clock on the wall were still at the moment before you lay down, and there was no trace of movement at all.

　　...Huh?

　　You froze for a moment, but quickly came to your senses.

　　Some RPG game time can only be advanced through the triggering of the plot, otherwise it will not be useful no matter how many days you rest in the home. For example, when you came out of the mountains before, it was dark all of a sudden, and now you may have some tasks that you have not yet completed.

　　Thinking of this, you quickly jumped off the bed and ran down to the second floor, only to find that the food on the dining table had been cleaned up, and your mother was standing in front of the sink in a daze.

　　　Ermm do you want me to help wash dishes? I've never heard of an RPG game with such a setting...

　　You struggled to approach your mother, and tentatively called her: "...Mom?"

　　"Are you full? Carrot potato."

　　The originally motionless mother seemed to be winded up, and suddenly she became energetic again, turned around and smiled and said to you: "you leaving tomorrow, and me is very reluctant to part with you, but before leaving, go and say goodbye to your father."

　　"Father?" You were stunned again: "Where is his?"

　　"There." Your mother pointed behind you, and you looked in her direction, and sure enough, you saw your father on the wall—but it seemed to be a portrait.

　　"Carrot Potato, have you forgotten what you said to Mom? Dad disappeared in Heim Forest five years ago, so you said that he wanted to be a hunter, and vowed to find Dad and bring him back... Mom is so touched."

　　... Isn't that the same reason as Gon? And is it really okay to take the dangerous hunter exam for that reason? You don't think your father who disappeared five years ago is alive now...

As silly as it is, this is a story mission where you have to walk up to the wall and say goodbye to the bearded man in the frame.

　　After completing the task, your mother handed you a cloth bag.

　　"These should help you, mom will pray for you every day, Carrot Potato."

　　"Thank you, Mom." You took the cloth bag, opened it, and saw a lot of props jumping out of it. You get 1,000 $ and five hemostatic bottles, three beef rice bowls, and five dirty-looking yellow spheres.

　　The first ones are easy to understand, but what is the last one...

　　It still smells bad, and you suddenly have an ominous premonition, staring at the yellow ball for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to pick one up and choose to investigate.

　　Chaos Bomb: A projectile made of skunk dung, which puts the enemy in a state of "chaos" for five rounds.

　　...Do you really want to put this thing in your bage?

You hesitated for a long time, but remembered that in future battles, you would meet the super-difficult Hisoka , Illumi or Kuroro, and adding negative status to them might improve the chance of victory... Thinking of this, you will eventually Giving in, You stuffed the dung into your backpack in disgust.
