Chapter Six

  Looking out at the black, blustery sky, you feel a wave of panic. You was worried about what to do if you was blown away by the wind. If I fell into the sea, I must be feeding the fish. And this is Hunter World, who knows what terrible things will be in the sea...

 But no matter how reluctant you are, if you don't do it, the plot will not go down. You have to bite the bullet and brave the heavy rain, and move a few steps outside with difficulty.

  "Here! Carrot Potato!"

  In the sound of raindrops mixed with rumbling thunder, Gon's shout came from afar. You wiped the rain from your face and ran towards the direction of the sound against the strong wind.

  Approaching the stern, you are surprised to see four people hanging upside down on the rail, one by one, grabbing each other's legs, trying to pull up a sailor who has fallen from the boat.

  You hurried over, and together with the sailors who came to help, you pulled up the person who fell off the boat.

  "Ah... saved, thank you for your help."

  The sailor who was rescued was soaked all over, he looked at Gon with a sigh of relief and thanked him. You lie on your stomach and hold on to the rails, the boat rocks so much that you feel uneasy, always thinking that something might happen next.

  Sure enough, the relaxed atmosphere didn't last long, when the sound of "gurgling" suddenly sounded in the sea, and a sailor's face changed, and he shouted: "Be careful! There seems to be something in the sea!"

  His yell made everyone immediately alert, looking at the pitch-black sea that kept tumbling and seemed to swallow people completely at any time. Amidst the huge waves, you panicked thinking that there is a sequel, but you can't see what's in the water. The only thing that's clear is that the things hidden inside are definitely not good.

  "it coming!"

  You can't distinguish the terrible sound of the huge waves brought by the storm, but there is a terrified cry from the sailor beside you. Accompanied by this unlucky cry, you heard the sound of rushing water, and the sea water in front of you instantly shattered in all directions, and a huge black shadow jumped out of it. The black shadow broke through the water and fell on the head in the fierce storm. Countless sea water was poured onto the deck, hitting you and the people around you in the face.

  hiss...

  You subconsciously turned your head away, but the sea water still drenched your whole body, the black shadow fell heavily on the deck, and there was a loud bang, the ship swayed violently again, almost being swallowed by the rising tide.

  "Wow!" You rolled back, but quickly stood up and got up. Although your abilities are poor, this is the world of hunters, and as the protagonist, your physical fitness is not too bad.

  "It's a hundred-eyed sea monster! A hundred-eyed sea monster!!!"

  The panicked sailor screamed again. You looked up and saw countless eyes glowing in the darkness. The monster turned out to be a giant octopus several meters high with big blood-red eyes all over its body.

  Oops...

  You twitched your little finger and subconsciously took out the "wooden sword". 

  This guy doesn't look easy to deal with...

I don't know how strong the octopus monster is. You are now at level LV3, and it takes three rounds to kill a fur wolf. You regret that you didn't level up on Whale Island back then

  It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable, and you feel that you are in danger, but at this moment, Kurapika, who was sleeping in the cabin before, suddenly rushed to the octopus and drew out his two knives.

  System prompt: The blond boy (?) has joined the battle.

  "Are you coming, monster."

  Leorio, who was wearing a dark blue suit at the side, spat on the deck, without any panic on his face, and took out weapons together with Gon.

  System prompt: The middle-aged man and Gon have joined the battle.

  Middle-aged people? ! ...

  You lost all fear in an instant, and were embarrassed by this super bad system.

  Leorio was also despised by the system! He is middle-aged...! But this didn't make you feel any better, because the next moment, the tentacles of the octopus hit your head, and you didn't have time to scream "wow", you just felt that your blood gauge was cut to zero all of a sudden, The whole person could no longer stand up.

  It's over, this is GAME OVER.

  Gon, Kurapika, and the middle-aged man (...) turned a blind eye to you, and no one came to help you when you fell. The octopus wriggled slowly, and your remaining consciousness told you to get up and run away, but you couldn't control your body anymore, and you could only fall limply on the wooden deck like a corpse.

  However, the octopus did not roll you up and eat you. After knocking you down with one blow, the octopus retracted its tentacles and slowly crawled back to its original position.

  System prompt: The hundred-eyed sea monster launched a knowing blow, and the Carrot Potato's life -151.

  System prompt: Carrot Potato battle cannot.

  "..."

  help, help...

  Is there a setting for team battles? Now you are convinced that you should not be dead, at least your consciousness is very clear - after you fall, the prompt "Carrot Potato can't fight, Gon is angry, and his attack power has increased" appears.

  Can this system be a little more stupid? You suddenly think of a domestic RPG game in the early years. After the protagonist's harem is defeated, the protagonist will explode to increase HP or MP. How many years have passed, and this setting has not yet been adopted cancel...

  You watched in dismay as Jay and the others struggled to attack the big octopus. Both Kurapika and Leorie were LV8, and their lives were 599 (Kura), 439 (Leorie), 659 (Gon) and 149. You are not a little bit off. No one thought to throw you a resurrection bottle or anything, they quickly ended the battle in three rounds, and then got a total of 600 experience points with the victory music, and everyone rose a level.

  ...Of course, except for you who were instantly killed at the beginning of the first round of battle. You are still a poor LV3.

  Once the fight is over, you immediately find yourself moving again. Seeing the dead octopus thrown into the sea by everyone, you stand up with a pale complexion, open the status bar, and see that your remaining HP is 1/149.

  Well... it's good to be alive. You thought gloomily.

  "Hmph... It looks like there will be a good harvest this year."

  Captain Red Nose looks at you with satisfaction and admiration (including you, although you were killed by the octopus at the beginning of the battle).

  "The last test, tell me, what's your name, why do you want to be a hunter?"

Why do you think the order of the questions seems to be wrong, but this is just a small problem, you still don't remember the octopus attacking the ship in the original book, although this is the world you often encounter when you take a boat in RPG games, you tell yourself Just because the system sucks...

  "I'm Gon Freecss! I want to be a hunter like Dad and find him!"

  The next plot seems to be the same as the original. Kurapika goal is to avenge the Phantom Brigade and regain the eyes of the tribe, but because of the joint battle just now, although Leori and Kurapika have disagreements. There were some small frictions, but they didn't cause any quarrel. In the end, when the captain asked why you came to take the exam, you scratched your head, feeling that the name you gave due to negligence was too stupid and embarrassed to speak, but you thought that this kind of system doesn't matter anyway, so you secretly named yourself After choosing a new name that looks like Mary Sue, you said anxiously, "I'm Eve, and I'm also looking for Dad."

  "What are you talking about? Your name is clearly Carrot Potato, Carrot Potato!" Gon suddenly interrupted you righteously and shouted loudly.

  "..."

  You were speechless, turned your head to the side silently, and began to curse the bastard system in your heart again.

  What the red-nosed captain said again, you are no longer in the mood to listen, dragging your weak body back to the cabin to rest, this time you quickly fell asleep. After waking up, the ship has arrived at the station, and your life has been restored. Although you feel regretful and uneasy, you still cheer up and go to find the hunter exam venue with Gon and the others.

  After a storm, the dilapidated ship stopped in Port Douni. As a thank you for helping the crew, Captain Red Nose gave you a hint on the route. He pointed to the hillside not far from the outskirts of the city and said, "Walking along the only-grown fir on the mountain is the shortcut to the venue."

  System prompt: Kurapika and Leorio have joined the team.

  This time, there are three people behind you at once. Like a long queue, you walk and they go, and they stop when you stop, which is indescribably weird.

  But your ability to accept is very fast, you have become numb to it, and you have led the three of them through one street after another. Passing by a weapon shop on the way, I went in with the mentality of "can I change to a normal weapon", but found that the equipment inside was surprisingly expensive: I picked up a sword casually, and it was marked as more than 20,000 $.

  "Welcome, welcome, there are a lot of good goods inside...hehe..."

  The owner of the weapon shop, who could tell he was a profiteer just by looking at his face, said with a smile. You struggled to grab a Japanese sword, and the system immediately prompted "Demon Sword Red Sakura, attack power +239 hit +197, there is a certain chance of absorbing the enemy's vitality".

  "You have a good eye. This is Demon Sword Red Sakura, worth 26,900 $. Don't hesitate to buy it."

  The boss rubbed his hands and followed. You shook your head, looked down at your remaining funds, and asked sadly, "Is there any cheaper weapon...?"

  "What are you talking about, customers, these are the best products."

  It is indeed a good product... It is twice as powerful as your own attack power.

  But this... is super unsuitable for RPG settings! Isn't it said that the equipment at the beginning of the game is very cheap and does not increase the attack power much? How can you afford such a high-level weapon!

  "No, I don't need it, I just want ordinary weapons..."

  You find that the boss's smile disappeared the moment you finished speaking, and turned into a contemptuous expression.

  "Ordinary weapons... oh... Although places like ours don't sell cheap ones, I can help you find them in the warehouse."

  The boss suddenly changed his previous attitude and became arrogant! He speaks rough and looks at you with his nostrils!

  Are you kidding, even the people who are programmed in the game are so snobbish? Under the contempt of the boss, you feel more and more guilty, and you feel more and more that "I am so poor that I shouldn't come to such a high-end place".

  Soon, the boss came out of the warehouse with a black thing, still wondering what it was, and the boss threw it in front of you impatiently.

  You looked down and found out that it was a... Iron pliers?

  "Here you are, this is the cheapest weapon, 100$."

  Wait a minute, these are iron tongs!

  You feel that you have been insulted, and you jump up and want to protest, but at this time the system has another row of prompts: Burning iron tongs, a cheap weapon sold to you by the owner of the boutique weapon shop, attack power +11, hit +5.

  ......

  ...All right.

  Although it is not a normal weapon, it looks better than a small wooden stick.

You took out a 100$ from your bag and handed them to the boss, replaced the weapons and equipment with burning iron tongs, turned and went out silently.
