"Indeed, it is a great thing that benefits both sides... meow." Although he said that, Wenlong had another thought in mind.
Because in Wenlong's view, the current trade route between Millard Village and Majepoltan being blocked was not entirely bad, at least not for the current Wenlong.
For example, when Wenlong first started selling the G Recovery Potion in the village, if the trade between Millard Village and Majepoltan had been smooth, the G Recovery Potion would not have sold for such a good price. After all, the G Recovery Potion, which was very rare in Millard Village, was not uncommon in a big city like Majepoltan.
So in Wenlong's mind, although it was certain that the trade route between Millard Village and Majepoltan needed to be reopened, there was no need to rush. Moreover, Wenlong wanted Catherine to train for a bit longer, which would make things more stable.
"At least we should wait until we can produce high-quality items that can sell well in a big city like Majepoltan before considering reopening the route. In the meantime, let's focus on how to maximize the profits from the G Recovery Potion and the Energy Boost Potion...," Wenlong thought to himself.
So Wenlong changed the subject and continued, "I am also quite worried about the current situation of the trade route between Millard Village and Majepoltan, but I am very busy right now and don't have time to help you. However, if I have time and the trade route has not been restored, I will consider taking action, meow!"
"Eh... Don't you need to consult your master about this?" Seeing Wenlong immediately refuse, Old Herson felt a bit strange. After all, in Old Herson's memory, whether to accept a commission was always decided by the hunter, and he had never seen an Ailu cat make such an important decision for a hunter.
"No problem, if it's Mr. Cat's decision, it's my decision as well," Catherine explained quickly.
"Is that so? You two are quite an unusual team... But I look forward to your abilities... Sigh, ever since Lily and He Fei went to Majepoltan, there isn't a single hunter in the village who can be relied upon."
After saying that, Old Herson said no more and continued drinking alone.
"So, Mr. Cat, what should we do now?" Since the original plan to sell materials had fallen through, Catherine asked.
"In that case, let's go to the Hunter's Guild to take on a mission, meow."
Originally, Wenlong wanted to sell the ten Energy Boost Potions he had left to get some money, but then he thought that most of the hunters had already left Millard Village for the hunting grounds and would only return in the evening. There were not many hunters left in the village, so it would be difficult to get a good price for the Energy Boost Potions at this time.
Therefore, Wenlong decided to take on a promotion mission first, as it was important for Catherine to quickly improve her hunter rank.
Moreover, Wenlong estimated that since Wise Grandma had been very generous and did not charge him for the forging fees when making the equipment, after deducting some other expenses, he still had enough gold coins to pay the deposit for the promotion mission. So there was no problem with taking on the promotion mission now.
Leaving the Silver Dragon Inn, Wenlong and Catherine arrived at the Hunter's Guild's Millard Village branch and met Sasha, who was working as a receptionist.
From the moment she saw Wenlong and Catherine, Sasha's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You... actually came back? Oh my, I thought you had met with some misfortune, so I sent out a rescue team, but they searched for a long time and couldn't find you."
"Hmph, how could I meet with misfortune so easily? I was just delayed a bit, meow!" Wenlong said.
"Is that so? However, since your mission exceeded the time limit, it is considered a failure, and the five gold coins deposit you paid will not be refunded!"
"I know, I know," Wenlong said impatiently, "It's just five gold coins, I'm not that stingy, meow."
"So, what are you here for? To take on a new mission? If so, I recommend you take a one-star silver mission, it will be safer."
"No way! Just like before, the mission to hunt the Great Boar King. A real man should get back up where he fell! Here, here are the five gold coins as a deposit, take them, meow!"
As before, Sasha gave a somewhat troubled look to Catherine.
"If it's just the Great Boar King, it's no problem," Catherine said.
"Alright, you lost five gold coins and now you want to take on the mission again, you're really stubborn. But don't say I didn't warn you, it's already late in the day, do you know what that means?"
Seeing that Wenlong and Catherine did not respond, Sasha continued.
"Most hunters set out early in the morning and return to the village before sunset to avoid camping in the wild. You're leaving at noon, so there's no way you can return before dinner. I don't recommend you camp in the wild at your current rank, so you might as well listen to me and set out early tomorrow."
"No need, just a Great Boar King, it's not even enough to warm me up, it won't take much time... meow." After saying that, Wenlong took the mission commission and walked towards the village entrance.
"Thank you for your concern, but if it's just hunting the Great Boar King, we will definitely be back before dinner," Catherine said politely and quickly followed Wenlong.
"Sigh, these two really don't listen to advice. They failed once and still don't know how to be cautious..." Sasha muttered to herself as she watched Catherine and Wenlong's retreating figures.
For the rest of the day, Sasha's mind was preoccupied with the female hunter named Catherine and her Ailu cat, even affecting her work.
"Really, the Great Boar King is not an ordinary boar, how could it be so easy to hunt? Leaving at noon and returning before dinner, that's just considering the travel time."
"There's no way! They will definitely have to camp in the wild. But if Catherine and her cat don't return for a few days, will I need to send out a rescue team to search for them again?"
Thinking about this, Sasha felt a headache coming on.
