Chapter 149 Knock on the Head
Feng Ying ate vigorously. She didn’t know whether it was because she was too hungry or because she was angry. A tray of high-calorie food and a large glass of milk went into her stomach in an instant.
Gordon, who felt inexplicably satisfied with feeding the pork chop, pushed his share of the barbecue steak over with a smile, "I haven't touched it yet, eat more, you are still growing."
Feng Ying hesitated for two seconds, and finally nodded, eating the huge piece of meat steak weighing half a kilogram with the knife and fork, without wasting any.
Gordon, who wasn't very hungry to begin with, finished his salad and soup in a few mouthfuls. He didn't waste any more time and led Feng Ying directly to the task counter.
Feng Ying was looking forward to it, her body straightened up, and she didn’t look like she was full.
Gordon couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the little girl has a really good appetite.
The lady on duty at the mission counter today is Madge, the gentle older sister who is much more reliable than Diggy.
Hearing that Gordon said he planned to choose a two-star mission, she was a little surprised at first, but when she saw Feng Ying following Gordon clearly, she nodded with understanding.
She smiled and brought a list, and said softly: "All the two-star tasks are here. Mr. Gordon, Miss Feng Ying, please take your time to choose."
Feng Ying tried her best to keep a straight face, but Gordon could read a hint of happiness on her face. She was probably satisfied with the title "Miss Feng Ying".
It is indeed a child.
It was Gordon's job to select tasks, and Feng Ying had nothing to do with it. She knew this too, lowering her head and playing with the hem of her clothes.
A few minutes later, Gordon selected a task order.
“That’s it.”

“Big Wild Boar King, how are you? Have you ever hunted?” Gordon waved the mission document in front of Feng Ying.
"No." Feng Ying shook her head and said, "There are no such monsters near Yanhuo Village. There are quite a few large wild boars in the area around the abandoned shrine."
Gordon was startled. There is a big wild boar but there is no big wild boar king? Nature is so wonderful, but that's not his focus.
“Then let’s try it out. Do you have anything else to prepare?”
"No, I don't like to use hunting props. Whetstones and recovery potions are enough for me." Feng Ying raised her chin and said proudly.
“Hey, I can’t tell you are so old-fashioned. I thought the same way before (before I was beaten into a pig’s head by the Big Wild Boar King), hehehe.”
In order to avoid wasting time on the way back and forth, Gordon specially chose the hunting ground closest to Minagard City, which was in the mountains and forests more than half a day's journey north of the city.
Hence, they no longer bothered to hire a car, and it was more convenient to walk the distance.
When the two arrived at the target hunting ground, the sky was completely dark, and the thin crescent moon could not illuminate the shadows in the forest. The Shuretson Hill was faintly visible under the night.
The only exception was a small camp built between the gaps between giant trees. The warm campfire illuminated the camp, dispelling the darkness and tension.
In the camp.
Gordon organized his luggage and supplies in an orderly manner and prepared for tomorrow's hunting. Although his opponent was only the Big Wild Boar King, he still would not relax.
This is the caution required of an experienced hunter.
Feng Ying, who came to Xiuretsen Hill for the first time, seemed to have turned on some strange switch. Her whole body entered an inexplicable state of excitement, and she turned around and wanted to plunge into the dark forest.
At this time, Gordon only felt lucky. If Feng Ying's tooth hound hadn't been forced to stay in the assembly hall by the president himself, the little guy would have disappeared on the dog.
Perhaps it was because the blow was a bit hard, Feng Ying screamed "Woo!" and squatted on the ground holding her head.
The corners of Gordon's mouth twitched and his fists clenched. If he hadn't seen that this guy was still young and he was a girl, he would have beaten him up.
Are you going to follow the instructions as promised?
“In a completely unfamiliar environment and hunting ground, and it’s late at night, how dare you head into the mountains?” Gordon glared and scolded.
Feeling that Gordon was really angry, Feng Ying held her head and shrank back, daring not to speak.
"It would be fine if you really have the strength to deal with most dangers, but do you have it? How many stars are you a hunter? Oh, one star. It turns out you are not a high-level hunter. Where is your brain!?"
“Oh, I was wrong, so why not?” Feng Ying muttered in a low voice.
Gordon took a deep breath to calm down, and the first thought that came to his mind was to run back to Kokot Village and bow and apologize to instructor Ernest.
When I was a teenager, I seemed to be a little more lacking than this child. The instructor at that time was so worried.
“Go to bed! We’ll set off early tomorrow morning!”
Facing Gordon with his arms folded and glaring at her condescendingly, Feng Ying felt as if she saw another familiar figure.
ˆ (>﹏<.)
Looks like Master Samantabhadra
Now she didn't even dare to think about replying. Feng Ying covered her head and got into the tent with tears in her eyes, acting very well-behaved.
Seeing this, Gordon's anger also subsided a little. He looked at his thick knuckles that could crush walnuts, and was speechless.
This little guy is still a tough guy but not soft? No wonder the head of Puxian Village specifically mentioned the "knocking on the head" trick in his letter. It's really surprisingly useful, hey?
Considering Feng Ying’s gender, Gordon did not follow her into the tent. Instead, he spread a blanket at the entrance of the tent and lay down casually.
He does not have high requirements for the living environment. If necessary, he can fall asleep lying on a stone.
The reason why I slept at the door of the tent, apart from avoiding suspicion, was to keep an eye on this restless little guy and prevent her from sneaking out in the middle of the night.
—It is entirely possible for a rebellious kid to do this kind of thing.
I really want to throw a dyed ball on her head. Why don't you sneak away again? !
In the tent.
Feng Ying knelt down on the bed, puffed out her cheeks, and gently rubbed the big bump on her head that had just been knocked out, "Really, he's as ruthless as the village chief."
Perhaps because she saw a familiar shadow on Gordon, Feng Ying muttered, but she didn’t have much resentment.
After secretly running away from Yanhuo Village alone, she actually regretted it a little, but the competitiveness unique to her rebellious stage made it impossible for her to go back in despair.
“I don’t know how everyone in the village is doing.”
The girl lay down on the bed, looking through the semi-open tent roof at the starry sky that was the same as her hometown. She traveled across the ocean, and the fatigue accumulated from traveling over mountains and ridges suddenly came over her like a tide.
“I want to hear Sister Huoya Shuiyun sing, woo, Master Samantabhadra, Grandpa Daowen, please stop knocking me, Brother Yangyan will have a sale soon, Sister Wormwood, have you learned how to make rabbit meatballs?”
Perhaps the muttering in sleep is getting softer and softer.
“In order to solve the problem of Hundred Dragons Night Parade, I will definitely become stronger.”
ps. About the timeline.
The timeline of the Monster Hunter series is slightly vague, and Rise is not very clear.
1234x should be in order (there will be some follow-up stories from the previous stronghold in x)
As for the world, I’m not too sure. Probably a few years after 4G? (In this world, the protagonist’s mohawk friend Aiden is a newcomer to the pen hunting group)
This book has also been revealed before. The protagonist and Julius are of the same age (the captain of the pen hunting group and the chief hunter of the guild). I roughly set it as a person of the generation of the fourth investigation group, so they should be about the same age.
As for the issue of discovering the Miasma Valley and the Corpse Dragon that some book friends mentioned before, the Miasma Valley should have been discovered in the third phase of the game, but the Corpse Dragon should have been discovered in the plot of Blue Star.
It can be understood that although the protagonist's miasma-resistant protective stone helped the third phase group explore the Miasma Valley, it did not really discover the original appearance of the Corpse Dragon. After all, the Miasma Valley in the game is only a little big, but in the real world, It may be a large area, but the ancient dragon is still quite mysterious.
(There may be some overlooked details, I will try to make them as round as possible. If there are conflicts in the original work, there is really nothing I can do about it)
