Chapter 3115: Must Remember Own Status

Burp!

The sound of released air came from the bottom of the straw. She finished the coke. Lingling realized that she could finish any kind of sweet drink when she was thinking hard.

She was about to open another bottle when the image of Apas’ slender waist popped up in her mind. Apas’ waist made men crazy and all women jealous…

‘I have to stop drinking sugary drinks! If not, I will grow fat! I must control myself!’

Leng Lingling sucked in a deep breath. The cold rain outside the window blended with the smell of sand and soil. It smelled odd. She painstakingly forced herself to stop drinking the ice coke.

‘I think I can find more clues at Hanta Sand City. It is more than four hundred kilometers from here. I have to take a field trip to find out the specific distribution of the Cold Rain Rose…’

‘Hmm… I can post an instant bounty for that city for verification.’

‘I’ll eat first. I can find the result after an hour. I will tentatively screen out a possible target and leave the rest to seniors.’

Lingling logged into the Hunter Union’s bounty posting website using her identity as the Seven -Star Hunter Master. When she logged into the international website, she found several important Egyptian hunter websites.

She created a bounty. The proposition of the bounty was important. It provided information to the hunters who wanted to earn contribution points.

Lingling thought about it briefly. She was certain that this was the bounty task hat she absolutely wanted to create. She closed her notebook, put on an apricot yellow, slim jacket, opened a transparent umbrella, and wandered around Orange Sand City.

She did not have any specific choice of food. She could even just drink for the whole day without eating anything. However, if she did not provide sufficient nutrients needed for her health, then the annoying Apas would mock her.Therefore, she had to change her poor eating habits.

‘Chicken breasts, hot dogs, bacon, and chips… The city doesn’t seem to offer any tasty vegetarian options. The choice of food is limited, too.’ Lingling disliked greasy food. However, there were not many choices in Egypt.

After taking a few bites, Lingling lost her appetite. She looked outside at the heavy downpour. Suddenly, her phone rang.

Her phone was connected to her notebook. She looked at the clock. Someone must have replied to her bounty post.

Lingling posted an information bounty instead of a physical bounty. The task was completed if someone uploaded the relevant photos and information for her.

Many new members wanted to join the hunter circle. Most of them started by fulfilling information tasks. Even some of the hunters acted as private investigators as a lucrative way to earn contribution points.

The hunter with the code name Grey Dove wrote:

[Master Leng, I’ve completed the task of buying three Golden Cold Rain Rose, then selling them to others. I will transfer the price difference to vou. How should I do it?”

Lingling replied:

[Keep the price difference as an extra reward for yourself. I only need the information of the person who bought your Golden Cold Rain Rose.]

[Huh? You only need that information?]

[Yes, I specifically stated that it has to be a transaction with a real name.]

[I did everything according to your instruction. The buyer hesitated when he realized the transaction had to be carried out by using his real name. It was clear that he needed the Golden Cold Rain Rose, hence he agreed to it. Since you’re the one who posted the bounty, I naturally did as instructed. Are you sure you don’t want the price difference? It’s quite a large sum of money.]

[I’m not short of money.]

[Um… Okay. Wish you happy hunting.]

The information of the person, who purchased the Golden Cold Ran Rose at a high price, was extremely important to Lingling.

They were in Egypt. The Hunter Society, including the Hunter Master, Lingling, was not very familiar with the country’s environment, weather, and ecology. Thus, it was difficult for her to compete for the mysterious object with the hunters who had been living here for decades.

They had to first understand the basic principle. The Egyptian and African hunters would definitely have an advantage over them.

The information that a Senior Hunter from a foreign country could gain would be far less important than a junior hunter who had been living in Egypt for decades.

The changes in the distribution of the plants were a correct search direction. Jiang Bingming was considered a hunter with talent. However, he overlooked an important fact.

But she didn’t. The Egyptian hunters and the other hunters must have thought of it, too.

The Egyptian hunters were far ahead of them. They could pinpoint the type of plant that was related to the Pharaoh’s Source. Hence, she just had to hitch a ride with her competitor.

‘The Five- Star Hunter Master, Black Jack, is also a contestant. He joined on his own.’

Lingling read about the Five-Star Hunter Master. She checked up on some information related to him.

[He is a suspected criminal without substantial evidence to make an arrest. He is under long-term surveillance by the Cape of GooHope Magic Castle and has a high propensity for murder.]

‘He’s not a person to mess with! I suppose hitchhiking with him is not an issue, though,’ Lingling thought to herself.

‘Since the experienced Five- Star Hunter Master is in such a hurry to rush to that city as soon as he receives the task of the Hunter Tournament, I can basically confirm that the Pharaoh’s Source is in Hanta Sand City. Hopefully, Black Jack is not as stupid as I expect him to be.’

Lingling continued to post bounties. She selected higher-level hunters who were good at tracking. These hunters would provide her with information about Black Jack’s whereabouts. All she had to do was to wait for the rain to stop and the result to release.

Of course, she could not risk putting all her eggs in one basket.

Lingling targeted some of Cairo’s best hunters. These hunters would pave the path for her. At the very least, she could learn more about Egypt and the key elements relating to the Pharaoh’s Source within a short time.

[Here’s the number: Black Jack is number 1, Sayed is number 2…]

[Participants from number 1 to 9, you don’t have to run to the endpoint. I can

guess where the endpoint is as long as you run more than half of the distance.

I By then, I will be there waiting for you.]

“Sayed is a member of the Egyptian college and is in the same batch as Mo Fan. He is already a Seven -Star Hunter Master now. Does he have the intention to take advantage of the Hunter Tournament to win the title of the youngest Senior Hunter, too?’

‘So far, I only know one Egyptian Senior Hunter, which is the Black Elephant King. I don’t know who the other one is. Does the colluder have something to do with the Hunter Tournament?’

‘Have I accidentally done something that shouldn’t be done by a freshman? I have to remember who I am! I must remember my own status!’
