Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 33 The Hunt Begins

After acquiring the new item, Malu then activated the effect of another item to stick to the sticky web, and stuck back one of the blessings that had been cleared last time.

 As the list of blessings unfolded, Malu discovered something different.

 Among them, the blue blessing [turn in circles] is flashing continuously, and disappears after half a second, replaced by a white blessing [aerobic enthusiasts: increase the stamina of the whole team by 1%]

This is the effect of triggering the Heartbeat Lotto?

 But there was no battle just now. Ma Lu went back and read the instructions after the Heartbeat Lottery again.

 Well, it does not say that you have to go through a battle. It can be triggered as long as the blessing option appears.

 The effect of Sticky Web just met the conditions, but his luck was a bit unlucky this time, triggering the downgrade of blessing.

An optional blessing changes from blue to white, but fortunately it has no impact.

Ma Lu was still preparing to choose the blessing, and he hesitated between [Last Iron Wall] and [Charge after attack].

These two purple blessings have good effects, one for defense and one for offense. [The Last Iron Wall] is very suitable for Pochi's ability.

However, considering that he can also use another blessing, and can use the Flame Young Lizard to block bugs, Malu has made a decision.

  【Charge when attacked: When team members adopt a defensive posture in battle, each time they receive an attack, their strength increases by 10%. This effect can be accumulated and will be reset after launching an attack】

Leaving this purple blessing behind, Malu waited for Boqi while looking for his old friend the young flame lizard again nearby.

 …

Pochi did not come alone this time. There was another figure sitting behind his motorcycle.

The person was plump and obviously a woman.

 “Your girlfriend?”

Pochi shook his head, "Newcomer."

 “What new guy?”

 “Newcomers who want to join the Shuangyang Flower Hunting Group.”

Ma Lu didn't react at first, and it wasn't until Boqi said this that he remembered that the two of them seemed to have talked about recruiting new members of the hunting group before they separated last time, but he didn't expect that there would be progress so quickly.

“You are right, the hunting group needs to expand. After returning, I entrusted the guild to issue a recruitment notice.” Boqi said.

 “Only one person applied for the job?”

"No, I actually received dozens of letters of recommendation this week." Boqi's answer was somewhat beyond Ma Lu's expectations.

“Really or not, is it because of your father?”

“It has nothing to do with my father, everyone is here for Shuangyang Flower.”

“But our hunting group has only been established for less than two weeks.” Ma Lu touched his chin.

“It’s because of the treasure hunting group.” The woman in the back seat of the car smiled. “Treasure hunting group?”

"Well, we had a conflict with you guys last time and wanted to rob your hunting group. They had done similar things before, but the victims had no evidence, so in the end they had no choice but to let it go. As a result, they fell into trouble this time. In your hands.

“And there were eight of them, and there were only two of you. But in the end they were beaten until their teeth were all over the ground, but you were unscathed. Now this matter has spread in the city.

“Not to mention that the two of you also successfully hunted the giant claw lord. It only took less than three days for the hunting group to advance to bronze. Well... although it is not the fastest, the speed is amazing enough.”

"Ah, so many things happened during my absence," Malu looked at Boqi again, "So you finally selected only one candidate who met the requirements from the bunch of candidates?"

Pochi shook his head, "Recruiting new members of the hunting group is a very serious matter. I can't just rely on a self-recommendation letter to determine who is suitable and who is not. I also need to investigate and review to find out the details of each person. This takes time, isn't it? It can be done in a while.”

After saying that, he pointed to the woman behind him and said with some reluctance, "As for her, she is a friend of mine. I know her very well. She must have no problem with her ability, and her character is... so-so, so I will take her first." coming."

“Hello, deputy commander, my name is Mai Mai. I am very happy to join the Shuangyanghua Hunting Group and fight side by side with you.”

The woman took off her scarf, revealing a beautiful face. She looked six or seven years older than Poch. She stretched out a hand and introduced herself gracefully, her voice as soft and light as a feather pillow.

“No, you haven’t joined the Shuangyang Flower Hunting Group yet and are still in the assessment period.” Pochi corrected him with a straight face.

"Strictly speaking, you are not a member of our group, so you do not have the right to allocate prey during this hunt. I will pay you a corresponding reward based on your performance after the hunt, and all hunting group members will vote to decide whether to accept it or not. You join our hunting party."

Maimai smiled, but only answered with one word, "Okay."

"Oh, welcome." Malu shook hands with Mai Mai. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that there was a hint of deep meaning in Mai Mai's eyes when she looked at him.

However, there was no malice in it, and Malu didn't take it to heart. He was just curious, "How did you and Boqi meet?"

"I also stayed at Harper for a while, but I left two years ago and never worked as a hunter again. I have dreamed of opening a perfume shop since I was a child, and I used the money I earned to realize my childhood wish. "

“Well, why do you suddenly want to join the hunting group again?”

“Because after working as a perfume shop owner for a while and realizing my dream, I found that the life of a hunter is more suitable for me.”

Mai Mai pushed her wind-blown hair behind her ears, "That's how people are. When I was young, I couldn't figure out what I really wanted. When I heard that Pochi had formed a new hunting group, I thought I thought about coming back."

“But what will happen to your perfume shop after you become a hunter again?”

"I heard from Pochi that you only go hunting once a week and you can come back in about a day. It shouldn't delay the business of the perfume shop much. Moreover, the perfume shop is taken care of by my sister. It doesn't make any difference whether I am here or not."

"Have you finished talking?" Boqi didn't know why. He had been feeling inexplicably irritable since he decided to bring Mai Mai here. He took out a card and handed it to Malu.

"I sold the remaining giant claw lords and those vampire long-tailed weasels, as well as the short-eared Link hedgehog. This is your share, plus other bits and pieces, there are about 32,000 kWh.”

“Well, please help me keep it.” Malu took it and looked at it before returning it to Pochi.

He couldn't take this thing back, so he could only leave it with Boqi first, and ask Boqi for it when needed.

However, having this money in hand is an extra insurance. If he doesn't want to hunt anymore, or if he catches up with Boqi and has something to do, he can directly use the money to make purchases in the city without leaving empty-handed.

 “Let’s talk about gossip later, now, let’s start hunting.” Pochi took a deep breath and announced.
