Chapter 340: Chapter 340 – Altacroz Hunting [1]

— Blackie!

— Oooh! Hunting with mount sounds fun

— Good luck. I miss Blackie!

— Cute, cute blackie.

[CatLover has donated 500 diamonds!]

[You better not injure Blackie! I WARN YOU! GOD OF CAT IS WATCHING.]

"Thank you for the 500. I don't know anything about hunting with a mount yet, so I can't say I won't injure him. But trust me. I will not use Blackie as bait." Max reassured the viewers as he entered Old Man Rig's stable.

He quickly found the old man sitting in a box near the entrance, just as he found the grumpy man the first time.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Rig." Max greeted the old man with a refreshing smile. He knew that something like this worked with NPC, especially a grumpy man like Rig.

The old man huffed and turned to him, "What do you need, young fool? Are you here to take your pet for a walk?"

His response was swift and experienced, as if anyone who visited him had asked the same question.

"That's right. I have a mission to hunt Altacroz near Cuckoo's nest in the west. It seems the monster is disturbing the ecosystem. I need Blackie to reach the place faster."

"Hmm, I have heard that." Old Man Rig jumped off his wooden box and turned around, "Wait here. I will get your pet."

Max watched as the old man walked inside without asking extra questions. He stood there, waiting for the old man that returned with Blackie in less than a minute.

"Nyaa~!"

Upon seeing him, Blackie jumped and rushed forward. It nuzzled its nose against his face as its three tails moved around happily behind.

"Hahaha, did you miss me, Blackie? It's just a few hours since I left you."

"Meow!"

The Catlapu acted really spoiled and kept rubbing its cheek against him, seemingly comfortable with his presence. Was it instinct or something, he didn't know. But he appreciated the soft fur.

"Keh! Don't just stand around in my entrance, young fool! Go, you have a monster to hunt. And you, pet. Get down!"

Old Man Rig disturbed their bonding with a hoarse voice. Blackie stopped at once and lowered its body after hearing the old man's command as if gesturing for Max to get up.

"Meow~"

Listening to his command, Blackie increased its speed. It went at full speed, twice as fast as when it was inside the city.

The scenery became a blur. Before Max realized it, he was already close to the mountain, arriving at the base just before the forest.

He blinked a few times, confused.

"Is that a skip feature too?" He asked himself.

"Nya!"

Blackie's voice pulled him out of his thoughts, and he noticed the chat went as usual.

— Surprised by the mount skip? First timer kekeke

— lmao! He looked confused

— At least he arrived without us having to watch a boring travel

— True, let's get Altacroz quickly and save Cuckoo's population!

— Talking about Cuckoo, look to his left.

Max immediately looked to the left as he read the last chat. Inside the forest, he could see a large white shadow moving at a fast speed. It was a blur, but he managed to see its general shape when it passed an area sparse of trees.

"A large chicken?" He exclaimed, unable to contain his surprise. "Cuckoo is a meter large chicken?!"

That was why they could lay eggs every day, and their meat was valuable. If the chicken population around a large city decreased because of a monster, that would be a disaster for everyday life. Not only that, the ecosystem would change, and new monsters would take place.

"I am surprised that mercenaries won't kill Altacroz before it becomes a problem. I heard they only take 'urgent' missions, but I wonder why. Is it because an urgent mission pays more?"

— There are just too many monsters compared to active mercenaries. They have to choose

— The danger is just not worth it. An urgent commission usually needs to be made because it can affect a whole country and not just change people's diet.

— The ratio between monsters and mercenaries is around 10 : 1. It's 10 monsters for 1 mercenary. They need to choose missions

— Priority. Urgent commissions and missions usually have a higher degree of danger. They also do so to prevent the birth of another Colossal-Class monster

— They are just lazy and afraid to get injured lolol

The chat's explanation made sense, eliciting a nod from Max. That satisfied him, but he still wanted to find a library or book that could explain this world's lore. The more he learned about it, the more interesting it became.
