Monster Hunting High School

Behind the group of cats, there is an open space not far away.

Originally there were only five little mice huddled in a ball, shivering.

Now, the place is densely packed with rodents with pointed heads, round ears, and gray skin and long tails.

Every two formed a pair, their tails were knotted, their heads pointed in the same direction, and they were placed neatly on the ground, like radishes sold by a vegetable stall owner in the morning market. But unlike the five previous ones that were still trembling, these new mice had their eyes tightly closed and remained motionless.

If their noses were not twitching slightly and the beards at the corners of their mouths were shaking from time to time, proving that they were still alive, then this scene would be very similar to the horrific events that happened in Auschwitz.

"The quality of this batch of goods is a bit poor." Dr. Xiao Da held his notebook and squatted in front of the pile of mice. From time to time, he used the feathers of the quill in his hand to look at the teeth and tails of the mice, and then wrote in his notebook Write and draw in a black notebook.

"That's enough...the mice in the school are almost extinct by them. I think it's very difficult to get enough of these things." The black cat walked around the pile of mice, pacing slowly and casually. "In fact, even if there are extra cages in the store, my cat colony can't provide more mice... Unless you are willing to replace them with squirrels or hamsters, there are still a lot of those little things."

Squirrels or hamsters will definitely not work, and Xiao Xiao knows this very well.

The store that the Forgiveness Hunting Team plans to open on the pedestrian street is not a pet store. According to Zheng Qing’s opinions at the previous plenary meeting of the Knights, the store they open should belong to the tertiary industry. This point has been revealed from their many times. This can be seen in the store name that was finalized after the club's plenary meeting.

The full name of the new store they plan to open is 'Ding-Ding-Finance-and-Kill-Kill-Bug-Co., Ltd', or 'D\u0026K' for short, which means 'Ding-Ding-Finance-and-Kill-Kill-Bug-Co., Ltd' - Ding "Ding" is similar to the sound made by jade coins falling into a bag, so the use of this onomatopoeia in the title was unanimously recognized by all members of Yuzui; and the concept of "killing insects" comes from a series of tasks recently arranged by the school.

Due to the early return of silence this year, the entire ecological chain on Phuket Island has changed to a certain extent. The most direct impact is that more and more 'troublesome creatures' appear on campus - including swarms of Corpse-eating beetles, as well as rats, eight-eyed spiders, five-legged monsters, red chain snakes, etc. that live on corpse-eating beetles.

As the core of the magical world, First University would naturally not allow its backyard to be infested by these dirty little bugs. Therefore, the school issued a series of tasks, requiring colleges and research institutes to clean up these ‘bugs’ as soon as possible.

Of course, it is impossible for professors to catch mice, and there is no such way to relieve one's dignity. In addition to their respective tasks, school workers have more important things to do. The heads of several colleges gathered together in private meetings and threw these little troubles to the energetic young wizards in the school.

It is also known as ‘practical training’.

Zheng Qing deeply doubted whether catching mice or carrion beetles could provide exercise. However, given that this task is related to their 10% tutor evaluation at the end of the semester, few people dare to be careless about this matter.

Just because you can't handle errands doesn't mean you can't be lazy.

It is the same even in the magical world - rules are dead, but people are alive - rich students pay others to help catch bugs, mice, red chain snakes, spiders and other small animals; students who have no money but study well , and will also obtain enough prey in exchange for tutoring homework, copying notes, etc.

Only those students who do not study well, have poor family backgrounds, and have average popularity have to work hard every week in dark corners such as bushes and ditches to catch bugs that seem to be endless.

The wizards of the Knights of Forgiveness naturally do not belong to the last category of students - although they do not have much capital and not everyone has good academic performance, they cannot bear to have a cheating captain.

Ever since Zheng Qing gathered a group of cat boys, the task assigned by Lao Yao to catch a hundred mice every week has become like play to him. All he had to do was choose a leisurely day, change his appearance after dinner, go to the forest and say hello, and the group of big and small hairballs would obediently send them fat mice one by one.

In the first few days, Zheng Qing was still very picky.

He doesn't want mice with bald fur, little mice that are less than one month old, pregnant female mice, mice with mutilated limbs or bitten tails - he only wants mice with shiny fur and strong bodies.

If you hand this kind of rat in hand, you will naturally gain more respect than other people's rats.

Soon, other members of the Knights of Forgiveness learned about Zheng Qing's trick - including Xiao Xiao, Zhang Jixin and other members of the Knights' Jiuyou Academy, they all asked their captains to treat everyone equally and help them catch mice.

Zheng Qing naturally patted his chest and agreed.

For him, this is not a difficult task, it is just a matter of giving more instructions to the cat boys.

As the saying goes, food and clothing are important to food and clothing. To sublimate this sentence, it can be understood according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory that after physiological and safety needs are met, people will pursue social, esteem and self-needs.

In other words, since catching mice is not a difficult task for Zheng Qing, can they make full use of this 'excess production capacity' to create higher benefits? Whether it's exchanging extra rats for money or deepening their relationships with other students in the class, it's much more cost-effective than releasing unwanted rats back into the wild.

The first person to come up with the relevant idea was not Zheng Qing, Xiao Xiao, or Elder Zhang who came from a noble family, but the little wizard Lin Guo who had been eating hundreds of meals in Beta Town since he was a child.

"Aren't we going to open a store in Beta Town? Don't we have ready-made flagship products?!" During a plenary meeting to discuss the name of the new store, the little wizard suddenly turned aside and turned the topic of the meeting to future prospects.

After the store opens, it is a headache for everyone to do business. Admittedly, Zheng Qing’s original idea was just to find a more spacious and comfortable gathering place for the Knights of Forgiveness outside the school, just like the Alpha Academy. Same as those societies. As for what kind of business he will do after opening the store, according to his idea, he will do whatever he can. It is a part-time job anyway, and not having to worry is the first priority among all requirements.

"We can't occupy such a good place, but only sell some old books, notes, and inefficient magic potions... Of course, I'm not saying that Captain, your talismans are bad, but no matter how good your talisman is, it can't be compared to Green Grocery Store Is it possible to sell a large amount of illegal talismans secretly like Wandering Bar? "

"Comparative advantage, comparative advantage... Without comparison, there is no advantage."

"Since you, captain, can easily catch mice, that is naturally our greatest advantage!"
