Oring Hunter

"Hey, so you are a student of the Hunter Academy? Then just pretend I didn't say anything and leave!"

After saying that, the drunk rushed out of the bar with a bottle of wine, and disappeared from Ye Chen's sight, obviously not daring to provoke the students of Hunter Academy.

Ye Chen patted himself on the shoulder, thinking that the deterrent effect of the student uniform among the ordinary residents of Hunter Town was extremely loud, and then continued to shift his attention to the business.

I don't know if it's because tonight is Friday, the Hive Bar is already overcrowded. Countless people gather around their respective wine tables, chatting, toasting and reveling, making the wooden floor of the bar messy, full of drinks, food, Figures of various things such as coins.

Ye Chen turned his eyes around the crowd, and then found that most of the drinkers here had expensive tattoos on the back of their hands. From this point of view, this beehive bar seemed to be quite popular with Olympian hunters.

The boy continued to walk into the depths of the bar, and not long after, he saw his roommate at a small table in the innermost corner.

Seeing Wei Meng at this moment, with his head lying on the table, holding a large glass of beer in his hand, staring at the wall in front of him with blank eyes, the whole person really turned into a dazed look.

Ye Chen quickly sat on the opposite side of him, and seeing Wei Meng's drunken appearance, he didn't even notice his approach, and immediately frowned because of confusion.

Even if you break up in love, you won't be so sad, you have lost the most basic vigilance...

He shook his head in thought, then reached out and patted Weimon's shoulder.

Wei Meng glanced at Ye Chen in a daze, then exclaimed weakly: "Ye Chen? Why are you here?"

Ye Chen ignored Wei Meng's surprise, and asked calmly, "Why are you so ugly, what happened, did Xi Ya ignore you all day?"

Waymon smiled wryly for a while in a hoarse voice, and then gave the answer.

"No, it's not. Shia talked to me a lot today, more than in the past semester combined... She had already returned to the academy a few hours ago."

After Ye Chen heard this, his face became even more puzzled.

"Then why did you become like this?"

Wei Meng put his head on the table and turned it around for a while, as if he was extremely unwilling to recall what happened just now, he struggled for a long time, and finally let out a sigh in a sad tone.

"Ugh……"

"Actually, I received a letter from my family in the dormitory this morning. Due to time constraints, I temporarily stuffed it into my backpack."

"I opened it only after parting with Shia just now, and read the contents inside..."

When Wei Meng said this, he suddenly raised his red face, and looked at Ye Chen with haggard eyes.

"Yechen, do you know why I want to become an Olympian hunter?"

Hearing that the topic suddenly changed to an abrupt direction, Yechen shook his head obsessively, while Wei Meng slowly began to explain.

"For people like you who came from the labyrinth, the reason for becoming an Olympian hunter should be just to find a place to stay in the Holy Light Pure Land... However, for the aborigines like us in the Holy Light Pure Land In other words, the motivation to become an Olympian hunter is much richer."

"Although the power of the Olympiad has been awakened in the Pure Land of Holy Light, the only way to go to the Hunter's Peak is the only way to go, but no one will have an aversion to the title "Olympia Hunter". Some people fancy fame and status , eager to make their identity more prominent, so they want to become Olympian hunters; some people desire to become more powerful after awakening the nightmare ability, so they want to become Olympian hunters; They have a strong interest and want to explore and take risks, so they want to become Olympian hunters; others... want to become Olympian hunters because their family members or close friends were killed by monsters that came out of the maze, and they desire revenge. ..."

"All in all, the reasons are varied and vary from person to person."

Having said this, Waymon picked up his wine glass and took another big gulp of beer.

But Yechen didn't say a word, a complex light flashed in the depths of his eyes, because the fourth of the many examples given by the other party refers to Yechen's own motives...

Wei Meng didn't notice Yechen's strangeness, reached out his hand to wipe the wine flowing from the corner of his mouth, and continued to talk.

"Among them, the first type of people who yearn for fame, wealth and status are the most common in the hunter group, because the status of Olympian hunters in the Holy Light Pure Land is top-notch."

"I'm sure you've noticed that even though we're just kids in the uniforms of the Hunter Academy, most ordinary people treat us with respect and distance. This is the case in Hunter Town, among other city-states in the Holy Light Pure Land Not to mention."

"Except for the Knights of the Holy Light, no one dares to provoke us easily, so this is also the reason why most people rush to become hunters."

"As for me... probably counted in the ranks of these people..."

"It's just that I actually don't pay much attention to fame, fortune, status, etc... My real motivation to become an Olympian hunter, to put it bluntly, is just for this one word..."

"money."

When Wei Meng said this, he looked down at the table, his eyes were blurred for a while, and suddenly he mentioned another matter to Yechen.

"Yechen, remember you asked me a few months ago, why are you so obsessed with making money?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded silently.

"Hehe, just right, let me explain everything to you in one breath..."

Waymon murmured with a wry smile, then picked up the beer glass and took a swig of it.

Chapter 0159 Waymon's Past

Wemon came from a small village located by the lake in the western part of the Holy Light Pure Land.

His father was the owner of a lumber mill and made a living by making and selling lumber, and his mother was an ordinary farm wife who managed the daily routine of the home and, together with her husband, took care of their three children.

Wei Meng is the eldest of the three children. Besides, he has a younger brother and a younger sister.

Although this small village is located in a remote area, far away from big cities, and the standard of living is not very good, but with the stable operation of the lumber farm, the Weimen family can enjoy the ordinary and peaceful rural life without worrying about food and clothing.

As the eldest son of the family, Waymon learned woodworking skills from his father when he was young, and worked hard to keep the logging farm running for a long time.

However, when he was young, he had a unique quirk, that is, he liked to play with the rats flying back and forth in the streets, and often secretly brought food to these rats without telling his family.

And the rats are not as afraid of him as they are to ordinary people, as if they can feel Wei Meng's sincere friendship. Even though they often steal food from every family in the village to survive, they always insist on not touching Wei Meng's family and establish a relationship with him. A wonderful friendship.

However, in the eyes of the general public, rats are dirty and disgusting creatures that everyone screams and beats. After a long time, the fact that Wemon was with them was quickly noticed by the surrounding villagers.

In this way, countless people cast their noses at Weimon's eccentricity and cast their noses at ridicule and criticism. The rumors spread one after another, and finally spread to the ears of Weimon's father, making the respected logger feel ashamed in an instant Lost, even angrily rushed home, ready to teach Wei Meng a severe lesson.

At that time, Waymon was squatting in the backyard of his house, rubbing the head of a mouse friendly with his hands, but when his father arrived, he picked up a feather duster and lashed at Waymon in anger.

Seeing this, Weimon was taken aback, and the mouse in his hand was overly frightened by the accident, subconsciously biting Weimon's wrist, forcing him to let go.

As a result, the mouse had just jumped out of Wemon's hands and landed, and was trampled to death by his father right in front of Wemon's eyes, and died suddenly on the spot.

On that day, 15-year-old Wei Meng cried, but the reason for crying was not because of his father's beating, but because his partner who had been with him day and night died tragically in front of him, leaving only a scar on his wrist, which will last forever left the world.

And that night, as soon as Wei Meng lay on the bed with the scars on his body and the tears on his cheeks, his sad thoughts quickly sank into a strange dream.

Then, when he opened his eyes, he found that he had unknowingly stood in a strange sewer.

This sewer is a long and narrow straight road, with a groove in the middle and platforms on both sides. It just has the appearance of a building, but it has no proper content. There is neither sewage nor waste. The thick fog made Weimon completely unable to see what was hidden behind the fog.

Just as he was panicking about the strange situation he was in, Weimon suddenly felt itchy on his wrist. Looking down, he saw that the tooth-shaped scar on it was deforming spontaneously. Under the gaze, it turned into a huge mouse and jumped off his hand.

Next, after landing, the big mouse began to split in front of the dumbfounded Wei Meng, from one to ten, from ten to hundreds, and finally split into hundreds of small mice, which blocked the narrow sewer completely, and all of them were faceless. Facing Waymon, he straightened his body and looked up at him without a word, like a soldier looking up at a general.

Wemon was stunned by this sudden phenomenon, and subconsciously wanted to escape from it, but at this moment, a strange tone suddenly resounded through the entire sewer through the fog at both ends, making Weimen feel a splitting headache in an instant , physically and mentally disabled.

wow... wow... wow...

In the end, Waymon woke up from his pillow dripping with sweat, finally putting an end to his first nightmare.

Afterwards, Waymon discovered that his body turned into an indestructible body of King Kong. At the same time, the scar on his wrist bitten by his former friend could also turn into a mouse, following Weimon's instructions perform various behaviors.

But because of the previous conflict with his parents, Wei Meng didn't intend to tell the other party about it, but chose to hide it alone, planning to leave the village and join the Hunter's Peak in another year.

As a result, just as the year was about to pass, in the forest near Weimeng's hometown, there appeared without warning a space hole leading to the maze.

And what came out of it, although it wasn't a ferocious beast, was another even more terrifying thing, spores that were emitted by some kind of labyrinth plant, carrying strange toxins.

Next, the spores drifted with the wind in groups, and soon spread to Wemon's village, covering all the homes overnight.

At this point, the residents of the village began to cough and have a fever, and within a few minutes they fell down one by one, and victims began to be born one after another, making this place a sick village.

But Wei Meng, whose body has been tempered by nightmares, has become the only one immune to the spores.

Seeing that his parents, siblings, and siblings were all pale and in danger, the young Waymon immediately galloped to a nearby big city overnight to seek help, but soon encountered the Knight of the Holy Light who came to deal with the potholes in the maze. , and then led the way for him, and with the help of the "Gate of Holy Light", the residents of the village were quickly transferred to the Holy Light City. After checking that they were not infected by the madness of the maze, they immediately started the course of treatment.

However, the treatment was a step too late. Not only did the vast majority of residents in the village die of illness at the bedside, but even Wei Meng's father and younger brother were not spared, and passed away sadly under Wei Meng's tearful eyes.

Although Wei Meng's mother and younger sister are still struggling to support them, the cost of treatment is extremely high. Only three months of hospitalization have exhausted their family's savings accumulated over the years.

However, just when Waymon was in despair, the people of the Hunter Academy somehow sensed Waymon's ability, appeared in front of him, and told Waymon: As long as he joins the Hunter Academy, the academy will Provide the most basic treatment support for Wemon's surviving family members.

In addition, if Weimon can graduate and become an Olympian hunter, it means that he can obtain an extraordinary status, so money will not be a problem. At that time, Weimon's mother and sister will receive the top-level treatment, which will undoubtedly be possible. Greatly increases the chance of survival.

Therefore, Wei Meng left his family in the hospital, resolutely went to the Hunter Academy, and became a member of the alternate class.

Although later he found that his talent was very mediocre among his peers and his progress was slow, but for the sake of his family, Waymon still gritted his teeth and worked hard in the alternate class for three full years.

In the end, his body and mind were strong enough to usher in the second nightmare, and he was successfully promoted to the graduating class of 2020. As he wished, he narrowed the distance between himself and the Olympian hunter, and this was how he was able to meet with the Olympian now. Yechen sat face to face.

Chapter 0160 Gossiping at the Bar

"Although my mother and younger sister are able to maintain the most basic hospital expenses with the support of the Hunter Academy, I still want them to enjoy the top-level medical treatment as soon as possible, so I work hard to make money, even if I can only earn a few dozen dollars a day. Copper coins... are better than nothing!"

After Wei Meng finished speaking with a gloomy expression, he couldn't help but sighed deeply.

After hearing this, Yechen fell into silence. He didn't expect that the roommate in front of him, who was smiling and carefree most of the time, had such a heavy past.

"So... what did you write on the letter you received today?" After a long silence, Ye Chen asked again.

Weimon bit his lower lip, and held it slightly with his flat palm on the table.

"My mother's condition has deteriorated again."

After saying that, Wemon drank the remaining beer in the glass, got up and went to the counter for a refill.

Ye Chen originally thought that the reason for Wei Meng's depression was trivial matters such as unsatisfactory love affairs, but he didn't expect the cause to be so serious. The full wine glass gulped down again.

Although Yechen couldn't help Wei Meng at this moment, Wei Meng vented to Yechen the knots in his heart, and he felt much happier, and then asked Yechen if he had eaten.

After getting a negative answer, Wei Meng turned to the tavern guy and ordered two fried rice.

"Okay, thank you for listening to me nagging for so long, I'll treat you to this meal." Wei Meng pointed to the fried rice on the table, said with a wry smile, and turned around to pay the tavern clerk.

"No, let me do it. You'd better save your money honestly, and don't waste it on such occasions." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he rushed ahead of Wei Meng and handed over the corresponding copper coins to the clerk.

Seeing this, Wei Meng was stunned for a moment, then nodded gratefully to Yechen, and added something in a low voice.

"Hey, I actually didn't spend much money in this tavern. Because today is the all-you-can-drink day at the Honeycomb Bar, as long as you buy the first glass of wine at the beginning, you can get unlimited refills, although it's limited to the cheapest bargains, But it is enough. How about it, Yechen, would you like to have a drink too?"

"No, too much alcohol will numb the nerves, so it's best not to drink it."

Yechen shook his head, then put a mouthful of fried rice into his mouth.

"This is a town, not a battlefield, why is it always so serious..."

Wei Meng muttered in bewilderment, ate a few mouthfuls of fried rice with wine, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked Ye Chen enthusiastically: "By the way, Ye Chen. Actually, I have always wanted to ask you something. I've been holding it in my heart for a long time. I just told you so much about me, so it's your turn now, right?"

Ye Chen swallowed the fried rice he had chewed, and replied indifferently: "Speak, what do you want to ask?"

Wei Meng hesitated for a while, and finally said in a curious tone: "Yechen, you have emphasized several times before...you are not interested in the relationship between men and women...I really want to know, are you serious?"

Yechen nodded decisively, expressing his affirmation.

Wei Meng smiled awkwardly for a while, and asked falteringly: "Then I want to know, what is the reason?"

"Could it be, you are a comrade..."

When he said this, he suddenly felt a rush of cold air from the figure on the other side of the table, and immediately retracted the second half of his guess in a hurry. "Hey, don't be angry, I was just making a joke!"

Ye Chen glared at Wei Meng coldly, but he didn't intend to bother with him about this kind of silly joke. He put the spoon hovering in mid-air slightly on the side of the plate, and then gave an answer in a flat tone.

"All my family members were taken away by the abyss, and I want to avenge them."

"And a vengeful man doesn't need a new family, because that would be a burden."

"He who is barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. I think you understand the meaning of this sentence, but I will be the one who is always barefoot."

"In this way, I will be fearless on the road of revenge. Even if I die tragically in the maze one day in the future, I can die with peace of mind because I have no attachment."

After hearing Yechen's reply, Wei Meng was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

He didn't know Yechen's past at all before, but now Wei Meng understands it completely through the short words of the other party.

It turns out that Yechen is the fourth type of motivational group that he mentioned earlier.

Because of the desire for revenge, he wanted to become an Olympian hunter.

Then, after getting rid of the sluggishness, Wei Meng fell into entanglement again. He didn't know whether to bring the wine glass to his mouth or put it on the table, so he hovered in midair stiffly.

He didn't expect that Yechen's experience was more serious than his.

At least Wei Meng's mother and younger sister are still alive now, but Yechen's family members are all gone, leaving him alone to enter the Holy Light Pure Land and live alone.

Thinking of this, Wei Meng suddenly felt very guilty in his heart. He felt that his inadvertent sentence had lifted Ye Chen's painful scar, and then apologized angrily: "Sorry, I don't think I should have asked this question."

Ye Chen responded blankly: "It's okay, I don't mind, because it's been a long time."
