"What have you been up to lately?"

Asked Roger.

"I don't know what's going on recently. There are frequent strange things around me. Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, go to the gate of the park in Bay Town and wait for me."

Henrik said something hastily.

"I still have a battle here, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Roger didn't think much about it either. He was a little tired after two consecutive battles in one night, but when he was about to rest, he suddenly noticed the hut model in his consciousness emitting a faint light.

[ Mission: The beast attack is complete. ]

This was a reminder I received just now, but Roger was so focused on the upgraded hut that he didn't notice it.

He opened it and checked it. The reward for the mission was a beast cutter, but he looked left and right and couldn't find where he could get this weapon.

After careful study, Roger found out what was going on. He found out the dagger that Henrik had given him, stretched out his hand and brushed the blade, and a glimmer of light appeared.

There seemed to be some changes in the dagger in front of him.

Sharp Short Knife: A high-quality weapon that has been tempered repeatedly, and the weapon is infused with mysterious power.

Beast Cutter: This short knife increases the damage to beasts when attacking, and improves the sharpness when dissecting corpses, which can save alchemy materials to the maximum extent.

"This function is very useful."

Originally, Roger was worried about the issue of weapons in the future, but looking at it now, the functions of the hunter's hut are very comprehensive. Although it cannot conjure weapons out of thin air, some special energy can be injected into weapons.

As a result, a weapon has undergone a qualitative change!

"When will I upgrade my steel sword?"

Thinking of the various weapons with different powers in the game, Roger felt itchy for a while.

In addition, the bulletin board also reminded him that Anna's character card had been updated.

Roger opened it casually, and Anna's figure on the card has become very clear, but in contrast, the fog behind her has become thicker.

In addition to the faint cemetery, it seems that other buildings can be seen.

"What happened?"

Roger was a little surprised. The friendship between him and Anna had improved from indifference to harmony, and he didn't know how many levels he had crossed.

"Women are creatures that are not only unpredictable when they are alive, but even dead."

"Is it because I talked to him a few times?" Roger thought silently.

"It seems that when you are fine, you should brush up your presence more."

He made up his mind that when he went to the hut at night, he must not just focus on cultivation, but spend at least half an hour communicating with Anna.

From the current point of view, the relationship between him and Anna, his neighbor, is not bad, and Anna herself seems to be quite mysterious.

After the friendship level increases, there may be unexpected gains.

From the beginning to the end, Anna's attitude towards him has not changed. If there is no character card, Roger really does not know that his relationship with Anna has improved to a harmonious relationship.

No longer thinking about other things, Roger lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning the weather was fine.

The Murloc Festival in Bay Town is almost coming to an end. The long holiday is coming to an end, and the tourists in the town are leaving here one after another.

After breakfast, Roger deliberately searched for some oboe practice videos on the Internet, took a brief look, and checked that the time was about the same, so he put on the musical instrument box and came to the park gate.

But he waited for a full hour from 10:30 to 11:30, but he didn't see Henrik, and he called several times but no one answered.

Just when Roger got impatient, Henrik's car arrived late.

"Good morning."

Henrik yawned.

"It's already 11 o'clock."

"It's almost noon, do you want to treat me to dinner?" Henrik put on a dead fish look.

He looked terribly tired.

"What did you do last night?" Roger couldn't help complaining, and opened the co-pilot's door casually.

"Don't mention it, there were three female ghosts pestering me all night last night."

Henrik thumped his back.

"The gun is out of bullets."

He was talking, but there was a weird smile on his mouth.

Such a smile often appeared on Thomas's face after returning from Marsh Town.

Among other things, just this kind of debauchery, still has the demeanor of a witcher.

"Where are we going?"

"If the journey is long, you can take a break and let me drive?"

Hearing Roger's words, Henrik immediately became energetic, "That's not necessary."

After speaking, he started the car.

"The last task was completed well, and a big trouble was avoided in time." Henrik drove to a nearby restaurant.

He took out an envelope and handed it to Roger.

"This is what you deserve."

"One more thing..."

"I need to ask your opinion."

Roger didn't even look at the money in the envelope, and just put it in his pocket.

The expression on Henrik's face became solemn.

"Interested in becoming a real witcher?"

Roger smiled. "Aren't I?"

He had some guesses in his mind.

"Hey, Roger, I'm not kidding you."

"Recently, for some reason, there have been frequent accidents in Bordeaux and several surrounding towns. The surrounding area is too big, and I can't do it alone."

Henrik took a sip of his coffee.

"So are you interested in becoming a part-time witcher?"

"Part-time job?" Roger looked puzzled.

Henrik nodded.

"Honestly speaking, such an approach is against the rules, but the situation is urgent now. Regular witchers need to undergo systematic training, but something has happened now, and the labor force within the union is also relatively tight."

"In this case, I can only try to find some other assistance. There are no decent witcher families around here."

"And I happened to have worked with you twice, and I recognize you very much, so I would like to recommend you to join us temporarily and become a temporary witcher."

"I will entrust you with some relatively simple and non-dangerous tasks, and pay you a certain salary according to the tasks afterwards."

"Of course, during this period, you can also enjoy certain benefits and assistance within the Hunter Guild."

Henrik explained.

"Isn't this just a short-term job?"

Roger understood what Henrik meant.

Not only can you get in touch with the hunter guild's information network, but also avoid exchanging too deep and being discovered by the other party.

The problem that Roger had had a headache yesterday was easily solved at this time.

"What do I need to do?" Although he had already approved the plan in his heart, Roger didn't immediately agree, but asked cautiously.

"It's actually very simple. You can completely regard yourself as a mercenary. We pay and you do things."

"Of course, during this process, you have to be careful. We are witchers, not thugs."

"Our job is to solve problems, not create them."

After thinking for a while, Roger nodded slowly.

"Okay, I'll join!"
