The dandelion in the alchemy formula is not a common plant in the wild that floats when blown, but a Chinese medicinal material.

Ji Xing drove a second-hand pickup truck purchased by his predecessor and drove all the way to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Chinatown, where he successfully bought dandelions.

After all, we are in the United States.

There are very few people who believe in traditional Chinese medicine. Even those who come to traditional Chinese medicine clinics only come to enjoy cupping and acupoint massage. Very few people come to see a doctor.

If he still encounters a shortage of medicinal materials, then he will have an extra attribute of Lucky E on his personal attribute panel.

"Now all that's left is dog fat."

Throwing the packaged medicinal materials on the passenger seat, Ji Xing drove a second-hand pickup truck to the slaughter market in the countryside.

There is actually a slaughterhouse in Hell's Kitchen.

However, those factories only slaughter cattle, sheep or pigs, and there is no dog meat or dog fat at all. They only supply it to supermarkets and big hotels, not retail.

So, I had to go to the countryside and ask.

Although most slaughterhouses in the countryside slaughter cattle, sheep and pigs.

But they are generally privately operated and self-employed, and can purchase different goods according to customer needs.

Of course, this needs to be done in large quantities.

After driving for two hours, Ji Xing arrived at a small town and learned the location of the slaughter market through passers-by.

but.

When he arrived at the slaughter market, he found that the factory door was locked.

Outside the old factory building, Ji Xing saw a haggard middle-aged man sitting on a stone smoking.

Ji Xing thought for a while and walked over, "Uncle, are you the boss here?"

The uncle looked up at him, then lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette before saying, "If you want to buy meat, go somewhere further away. The slaughterhouses here and in several nearby towns are closed."

"what happened?"

Ji Xing felt strange.

If it's closed due to poor management, that's fine, but we can't close all the slaughterhouses in one area!

"There is a monster in the forest near this town. It often comes to steal meat and eats it. Every time, hundreds of kilograms of meat are lost."

As he spoke, the uncle let out a long sigh.

The slaughterhouses they send to the countryside cannot compare with the big factories in the city.

The purchase price of a cow or sheep is enough for them to make a week's profit, who can afford it?

monster?

Ji Xing's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Can you tell me the specific situation?"

"It's not a secret, it's no big deal." The uncle smoked the remaining cigarette in one breath, threw it on the ground and stamped it out, then slowly said: "I am the owner of this slaughterhouse. The meat in the factory was stolen. After a few times, I did my research too.

but.

The figure seen on the surveillance camera was blurry, only resembling a humanoid shape, but crawling on all fours.The hound smelled the residual scent of the guy and was so frightened that he lay on the ground trembling. The police and hunters investigated the direction of the monster in the surveillance and finally located it in the forest near the town. However, they investigated deeply but found nothing. Instead, they found several monsters. People disappeared during the investigation. "

"...It's like a werewolf from a folk horror story."

After listening to the uncle's words, Ji Xing thought for a while and said.

"You think I'm making up a story to you?"

"No, I'm just analyzing the true appearance of the culprit based on the situation you told me."

"Said like a professional."

"Yes, I am a professional." Ji Xing took out the poisonous snake silver sword from the system space, looked at the uncle with wide eyes, and smiled, "I am a hunter who specializes in killing monsters. Uncle, you want to entrust me to kill them." That monster?”

Become a professional monster hunter... This was Ji Xing's idea when he was buying medicine.

He is a human being and has money and real material needs.

If you want to hunt down the invading alien monsters without any distractions, you have to meet your real material needs.

But he was formerly a gangster and had no savings left behind.

He just bought some medicinal materials and spent the remaining cash.

But if he goes to work, it will delay the time of hunting monsters, and it will also slow down his speed of becoming stronger.

After much thought, becoming a monster hunter who hunted monsters and earned money at the same time became the best choice.

The uncle wiped his eyes, and after confirming that the silver sword that suddenly appeared in Ji Xing's hand was not an illusion, he looked excited and asked, "Really?"

"Is everything you said true?"

After asking, the uncle stared closely at Ji Xing's eyes, fearing that he would say "this is just a prank magic show" that would cause his hopes to be shattered just now.

"Of course it's true." Ji Xing smiled slightly, "You only need a small amount of money, and I will help you solve your trouble."

"As long as the price isn't too outrageous."

The uncle was so happy that his body almost trembled.

His family has been a butcher for five generations. After the slaughterhouse was closed, he didn’t know what he would do to support his family.

"Not too much, a thousand dollars is enough."

This price is a choice made by Ji Xing after careful consideration.

Although the asking price is a little higher, it is not impossible for the uncle to get it.

But his purpose is to hunt monsters and become stronger, and making money is just incidental, as long as it is enough.

As long as he gets his reputation out there, many people will come to him to place commissions.

But if the asking price is too high, many poor people will not come to him, and many opportunities to hunt monsters will be lost.

"Only a thousand dollars?"

The uncle looked at Ji Xing suspiciously.

I don’t blame him for being suspicious, but compared to the content of this hard-working job, $1000 is too low.

Ji Xing saw through the uncle's thoughts and comforted him: "Don't worry that I am a liar. I will complete the work first and then collect the reward."

"Okay, as long as you can kill the monster, I won't be stingy with this small sum of money."

"So, tell me the details."

"no problem."

The uncle told what happened.

It’s no different from what he said before, but there are a lot more details.

Ji Xing ended the inquiry after asking some questions.Then he asked about dog oil.

"My place is a slaughterhouse for slaughtering cattle and sheep. Normally, there really isn't one."

"Does that mean it's available now?"

"Yes, come with me."

The uncle waved at Ji Xing and walked towards the factory first.

He opened the door as promised, and then took out a basin of dog fat from the freezer.

"The few guard dogs in the slaughterhouse were bitten to death by the monster. I made the best use of them."

"How much."

"No money, I just hope you can really kill that monster and give peace to the people nearby."

"I will."

After Ji Xing finished speaking, he took the other party's dog oil and returned to the pickup truck.Then drove towards the nearby forest.

While driving, he used the system's alchemy function to refine the sword oil.

Points are required to use system functions.

Alchemy is no exception.

Depending on the level of the item that needs to be refined, the points that need to be spent are also different.

Corpse-eating creature oil is the cheapest sword oil. You can refine one bottle at a time for ten points.

Ji Xing made five bottles and spent twenty points to buy a bottle of recovery medicine that could instantly restore injuries and energy.
