Chapter 19:Qingtian Hunting house

  Following the navigation on the phone, we came to the old street behind Jing'an Temple. At the end of the street, we finally found our destination. It was an old teahouse with a signboard of "Qingtian Hunting House". In front of the entrance of the hunting house, a cute little girl was sitting in front of the door, reading a book full of pictures. Her ponytails swayed with the shaking of her head, and her little feet swayed in the air with the book.

  "Are you going to entrust someone? The entrustment price starts at 300,000. We at Qingtian Hunting House do not accept small entrustments of less than 300,000."

  The little girl said without raising her head after noticing Qin Chen's arrival. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a summer wind chime, giving people a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

  "Little sister, I'm not here to entrust someone, but to apply for the position of hunter at Qingtian Hunting House. Is your adult not at home?"

  Qin Chen glanced at the old teahouse and found that there was no one there, so he stepped forward and touched the cute little girl's head and said affectionately.

  At the moment when Qin Chen made his move, the little girl finally raised her head, but she closed the book in her hand, shook off Qin Chen's palm with her little hand, and glared at Qin Chen, as if she didn't like others calling her little sister, nor did she like others touching her head.

  "Lingling, is there a guest?" At this time, an old voice came from the teahouse.

  "Grandpa, he is here to apply for a job, but he looks too young, I'm afraid he is still in high school, our hunting office doesn't want him."

  Lingling looked at Qin Chen with disdain, and said to the teahouse, and then glared at Qin Chen again, and then continued to lower her head to read.

  Seeing this vengeful Lingling, Qin Chen was speechless. It was just a touch, so what.

  "It's better to be young. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Young people don't know the dangers of the world. They dare to fight, fight and sacrifice. They are good seedlings for hunters. Come in and let me take a look."

  The old voice came out again, but when Qin Chen looked inside, he didn't find anyone, which was very strange.

  "Grandpa, there are fat sheep."

  Just as Qin Chen was about to go in, Lingling suddenly looked at the far side of the street, her eyes shining.

  "What did you say?"

  "The man was in a hurry, with a little fear on his face. He was a man with a big belly and wearing a brand-name suit. He wore luxurious decorations on his hands and neck. You can tell at a glance that he is a local tyrant."

  "Tsk tsk, this is great. Local tyrants are our best guests."

  "Welcome to Qingtian Hunting House."

  After the man approached, Lingling jumped off the chair and diligently opened the door, saying very politely.

  The man didn't care about Lingling, the little girl, and went straight into the hunting house to tell his story.

  "I am the owner of a fish farm in the western suburbs of Magic City. Every night, the fish in my pond are inexplicably less. I asked the police and city hunters to come and see, but it was useless. If you can help me solve this problem, the deposit is 300,000, and then pay another 300,000 after the job is done."

  An old man smoking in the teahouse sat up from the recliner and listened to the boss's story casually. When the boss finished, he said lazily:

  "What you said is too bizarre, we can't solve it."

  "The deposit is 500,000, and then add another 500,000 after the job is done." People who can be bosses are good at observing words and expressions. They can tell at a glance that it is because they pay too little that others are unwilling to take the task.

  "Our hunting station has no hunters to take the task for the time being." The old man said without blinking.

  "The deposit is 500,000, and then add another 1 million after the job is done." The boss gritted his teeth and continued to raise the price.

  "Okay, you leave the power of attorney, and our hunting station will send someone to solve it tonight." Seeing this, the old man changed his tone and made a decision.

  Hearing this, the boss quickly changed the amount on the power of attorney, signed his name, and left the hunting lodge.

  "Tsk tsk, private hunting lodges make money quickly."   

  Seeing this scene, Qin Chen smiled in his heart. This kind of business of raising the price on the spot makes money quickly.

  "Young man, do you understand?" The old man looked at Qin Chen and asked.

  "Yes, I understand." Qin Chen nodded.

  "Oh? What did you understand?" The old man asked curiously.

  "To do business, you should learn to raise the price on the spot like you do; to do hunting is like to do Qingtian hunting, learn to pull wool; to be a person, you should be like Lingling, have vision, know how to identify fat sheep, and be able to act." Qin Chen pondered for a moment, and then told his feelings truthfully.

  "Ahem!!"

  "Puchi!"

  Hearing this, the old man was choked by the smoke. Lingling, who had just taken a sip of milk tea, spit out the milk tea. The young and the old looked at Qin Chen in surprise, as if wondering what kind of brain logic this was.

  "Ahem, young people's thinking is novel. In this case, this commission is handed over to you."

  "My last name is Bao, you can just call me Old Man Bao."

  The old man said awkwardly.

  "Are there any other people in our hunting station? I won't be the only one to take on this mission." Qin Chen looked at Old Man Bao and said.

  "Lingling, you can be his partner." Old Man Bao looked at Lingling who was still drinking milk tea.

  "Old Man Bao, you want me to take a little girl who is less than ten years old to hunt monsters? People who don't know would think I'm a human trafficker, kidnapping children!" Qin Chen said in surprise.

  "Humph, who are you looking down on? It's me, the Master Hunter, who's taking you to hunt monsters, rookie!"

  Hearing this, Lingling took out a hunter badge unconvinced, raised her little head, and said proudly.

  "Master Hunter? Are you smart?" Qin Chen saw the badge, thought for a while and guessed.

  "It seems that you are not very stupid?" Lingling said with a smile, she liked people to praise her for her intelligence instead of treating her like a child.

  In the evening, the setting sun illuminates the sunset glow. The scenery in the suburbs of the Magic City is charming. The lush lawns and green trees on both sides of the road all give people a sense of natural tranquility. There is a villa and several houses here, as well as dozens of excavated ponds, each of which is stocked with various fish.

A man and a child,came from outside and came to the pond to observe the surrounding environment.

  "Lingling, do you think this is theft or a monster?"

  Qin Chen looked at the walls built around each fish pond, and there was a large net covering the pond. In this case, if you want to steal fish without destroying the things outside, in his understanding, demons can't do it.

  "We'll know tonight. You, go and install all these things in this position, hurry up."

  Lingling didn't even look at Qin Chen, then took out a lot of miniature cameras and a sketch of the fish pond from her small schoolbag and asked him to install them.

  "This thing is very useful. I'll get a few to carry with me in the future."

  Looking at the glass bead-sized camera in his hand, he was very interested. This kind of thing is a must-have for traveling as a monk. He felt that he still had to learn how to use it, otherwise it would be bad if people thought he was an amateur.
