Chapter 89: Balance of Yin and Yang
"Senior Zhao is the manager of the branch. The managers of each branch of the Hunter Guild are powerful figures. In addition to handling missions, the Hunter Guild also has its own direct hunters. Hunters registered with the Hunter Guild can enjoy corresponding conveniences. Of course, if they encounter any special situations, hunters must obey the guild's dispatch."
After leaving the guild branch, I took the train with Lu Xiaofeng. She wanted me to rush back to Yushenmen as soon as possible because I was hit by the soul-binding spell of the night ghost and one of my souls was taken away by the old eunuch. I was almost scared to death when I heard about this , but the manager of the guild, Zhao Hongming, who was also called Senior Zhao by Lu Xiaofeng, cast a special spell on me, saying that it could fix my soul and protect it from harm, but it could only last for a month.
Lu Xiaofeng meant that I should go back to Yushenmen first, tell my uncle the details, and have him inform my master, and then we can all work together to find a solution. She would go do something by herself and then rush back immediately.
I thought about it and decided that since there was still a month left, I might as well go with this girl to see what she had to do.
"Is this thing made of gold?"
I took a bite of my hunter badge, which was given to me by the Hunter Guild branch when Lu Xiaofeng helped me register for my hunter identity.
This thing is only as big as the palm of your hand, but it is very heavy, probably as heavy as a dozen one-yuan coins. There is a strange picture engraved on the front, a dark sky, gray clouds rolling, two huge stone doors standing on the ground, and two human faces carved on the doors. Two huge stone pillars stand on both sides of the gate, with stone vines coiled on them, and a strange stone statue squats on the top of the stone pillar, looking like an evil spirit.
There is a very simple Tai Chi pattern engraved on the back of the badge.
It feels quite hard when you bite it, and there is no tooth mark left.
"What the hell are you doing? Are you listening to me?"
Lu Xiaofeng stared at me and shouted. I glanced at her, curled my lips, and said, "I'm listening, go on."
I propped my cheek with my left hand and played with the badge with my right hand. It looked like there was nothing special about it. When I showed it to the guild, how would they know it was my badge?
"How do you think the guild determined that this thing was my badge? Also, I am a one-star hunter now. How can I upgrade to two stars? What are the benefits of upgrading to two stars?"
"Didn't I draw your blood at that time? There is a formation engraved with your blood inside the badge, so it can naturally identify whether the badge belongs to you. Hunter levels are calculated in "stars", with the lowest being one star and the highest being nine stars. Each level will have different treatment."
"Fuck, there are nine stars. Aren't you only two stars? How powerful would a nine-star be?"
In my opinion, Lu Xiaofeng is already very powerful, he should be able to deal with a third-level ghost alone. There are actually nine-star hunters, what kind of existence is that?
"I don't know. I haven't seen it."
I suddenly thought of the old man, Master, and asked again, "How many stars is Master? And what about Second Senior Brother ?"
"Uncle Song seems to be a four-star hunter, and as for Granduncle Song, he should still be a one-star."
I couldn't help but be stunned. Damn, that old man, my master, should be very powerful, so why is he only one star? What the hell?
"Because my uncle-master has never taken the initiative to upgrade since he registered as a hunter. The guild will judge whether the hunter has met the requirements for upgrading the star level based on the number of tasks , the difficulty level, and the completion status. However, even if the requirements are met, the hunter himself must agree and change the badge. And my uncle-master has never changed the badge since he obtained it."
Lu Xiaofeng explained.
Damn, this really fits the old man's personality. But if upgrading is good, why not upgrade?
I looked at the badge again, wondering when I could upgrade to two stars or four stars.
Putting away the badge, I asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming."
Damn, I was so embarrassed, I didn't bother to ask any more questions. Then I studied the moon wheel in my palm. When I met that old eunuch, my moon wheel had mutated. Whether it was good or bad, it was certain that my brother seemed to have become more powerful.
The Moon Wheel can break away from my palm, just like a weapon. Although I can't control it well now, judging from its ability to attack the Night Ghost, the mutated Moon Wheel has become more powerful. In addition to being able to devour ghosts, it can also launch substantial attacks.
"Don't be too happy too soon. The mutation of the moon wheel is not necessarily a good thing."
I was feeling happy when Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said something. I couldn't help but frown and asked, "Girl, what do you mean by that?"
"This is not simple. You have a yin-yang constitution. The reason you are still alive is because the yin and yang in your body remain in a balanced state. Now that your moon wheel has mutated, the balance of yin and yang in your body is likely to be broken."
This sounds serious, but why does this girl look like she's just watching the fun?
This seems to be a real problem. If the mutated Moon Wheel devours too many ghosts, the formation in the body will not be able to maintain balance, and the Sun Wheel will be suppressed by the formation. Once the yin and yang lose balance, won’t I die?
"What should we do then?"
I asked quickly.
"I don't know about that. You should go back and ask the master."
Damn, that’s so mean. You told me such a serious thing and there is no solution. You might as well not remind me .
"By the way, the guild has re-evaluated the previous mission and increased the reward. I will transfer your share to you later. Of course, this is after deducting the cost of cleaning the yard and purchasing items for you."
"It's up to you."
Damn, I don’t have the mood to care about how much I can get paid now. My life is more important.
"Where are we going? How long will it take to get back to Yushenmen?"
I asked again.
"We'll be there in the afternoon. Once we've finished our business, we'll go back to Yushenmen tomorrow."
Fortunately, I have to go back and ask my uncle, that old man, what to do about this matter.
At noon, we got off the bus and Lu Xiaofeng called a taxi. Half an hour later, we arrived at an orphanage.
Star Whisper Orphanage.
It doesn't look very big, and there are not many buildings inside, and they are all very ordinary. However, there are many flowers, trees, and sports equipment for children to play with.
"What are we doing here?"
I asked curiously. Suddenly I remembered that she had told me before that after we were paid for our mission, we needed to donate part of it to charity. Could it be that she was going to support this orphanage?
“I lived here when I was a kid. This is my other home.”
