Finally, Menchi and Buhara agreed to Kevin's cooperation invitation.
For no other reason than they weren't fools.
Not only did Kevin take out the Digestive Potion, he also displayed the Healing Potion.
Although both potions had side effects, the two had to admit that compared to the side effects, the medicinal effects brought by the potions were more attractive to them and worth a try.
What's more, the most important thing was that currently, only Kevin had these potions, which had already formed a monopoly.
For Gourmet Hunters who need to be in the wild all year round, traveling through various dangerous areas to hunt for ingredients, the means of protection against accidents are extremely crucial, and they really couldn't refuse such cooperation.
Furthermore, Kevin also promised to solve the side effect problem of the potions within a year.
Once the potions had no side effects, they would definitely be treasures that couldn't be exchanged for a thousand gold.
"To be honest, to some extent, we are quite lucky," Menchi said with a smile.
Buhara nodded from the side, agreeing with her statement: "The friendship of an Alchemist is indeed very precious to us."
Moreover, Kevin's potions were as practical as items in video games.
They were willing to use them even with side effects, and once there were no side effects, they would be a trump card for them.
Menchi held her head, looked up at the night sky, and continued: "More importantly, the currency required for the transaction is easily obtainable for us."
The things Kevin needed were not difficult for them; it was nothing more than materials or wealth.
As Gourmet Hunters, most of their time would be spent in the wild.
During the process of hunting for gourmet food, some parts of the prey that could not be used to make gourmet food could just be used by Kevin to "make medicine."
Originally, these were just by-products that were intended to be sold or directly discarded, but now they had become "currency" that could be used for transactions. Why not be happy about such a good thing?
All they had to do was properly pack and store these by-products and then bring them to Kevin.
This only required a little time.
Kevin would check and verify them one by one, evaluate their value, and then both parties would conduct a transaction to exchange for potions.
In case of an emergency, they could even buy directly with money, the process was very simple.
"Hmph hmph, we'll set off tomorrow! There are more gourmet foods waiting for us to hunt!"
...
The next day, when Kevin woke up, Menchi and Buhara had already said goodbye and left.
At this time, people in the research base were also starting to pack up and prepare to evacuate.
Kevin saw some people wearing similar military uniforms, driving various special vehicles into the base, and starting to set up a camp.
This kind of scene made Kevin narrow his eyes slightly. It seemed that things were much more complicated than he had expected.
Begel walked over and asked, "Surprised?"
Kevin nodded: "Yes, it seems that monster is even more powerful than I imagined?"
Hearing Kevin's question, Begel lit a cigarette, looked at the military camp being set up in the square, and slowly said: "How should I put it, the situation is a bit more complicated than we estimated yesterday.
There should be some connection between the group of people who were torn to shreds and that monster.
To speculate boldly, that monster might even be their target or creation."
"You mean, this might be some kind of biological experiment?"
"That's right."
Hearing this explanation, Kevin roughly understood the reason behind it.
Begel continued: "We cannot accurately determine what kind of abilities that monster possesses, nor are we sure if it carries a deadly virus.
In this unknown situation, in order to prevent possible crises, this area must be completely isolated until the crisis is resolved."
To be honest, in Kevin's opinion, this approach seemed a bit of an overreaction.
Because he felt that with Begel's strength, he would be able to track and kill that monster.
However, Begel and the others were obviously experts in this area, and based on their past experience, making such arrangements must have been based on similar precedents.
It seems there really is such an organization.
What they wanted was not to solve this monster, but to find traces and solve the problem once and for all.
"Then is there anything I can help with?" Kevin asked.
Begel shook his head, patted Kevin on the shoulder: "Sorry, to some extent, you are not currently qualified to participate. Unless you join my team, but I think you probably won't be willing."
Kevin nodded, he indeed had no intention of joining.
Moreover, when he asked just now, it was more or less out of politeness. After all, in another month or two, he was going to participate in the Hunter Exam.
"After you pass the Hunter Exam, perhaps you can come and see again. By then, you will definitely be qualified."
From this point of view, the hunter license is indeed an indispensable item, almost like a universal pass.
Even this kind of thing can be freely participated in.
It seems that the Hunter Association is very closely intertwined with various countries.
"Do you think that by then, this problem still won't be solved?" Kevin asked curiously.
After all, Begel was a One-Star Hunter.
Although being a One-Star Hunter doesn't mean being powerful.
Begel shook his head, threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, and stepped on it: "It's hard to say, I just have a gut feeling that this is not a problem that can be quickly solved in the short term.
I used the Hunter Association's complete intelligence network, but I couldn't find the specific identities and information of the group of people who were torn to shreds. This is very unusual."
As a One-Star Hunter, Begel had the backing of the Hunter Association and possessed rich intelligence resources.
However, this time, he couldn't even find out the identities of this group of people, which clearly indicated that this matter was by no means simple.
"Since that's the case, I also have to pack up and prepare to leave. If you catch that monster, remember to save me some materials, I will pay for them," Kevin said with a smile.
Begel smiled, nodded: "No problem, if we catch it, I will definitely be in charge of the research."
Just then, Kevin suddenly reached into his pants pocket and took out his phone.
A text message came into view.
Looking at the text message, Kevin raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It seems you have something to be busy with," Begel said with a smile from the side.
Kevin nodded, put his phone back in his pocket: "Indeed, then I will take my leave. Thank you for your help during this time, this month's internship has been very rewarding."
"Then you are welcome to come again next time, and I hope next time we are in a cooperative relationship, and not an internship."
"Haha, we'll see then."
At this time, this place had already become a military control zone. Kevin, along with other researchers, packed up their simple luggage and left the place by military bus.
After arriving at a nearby city, Kevin bought the earliest airship ticket to You Lu Bi An Continent for tomorrow, and then found a hotel to stay and rest.
Sitting on the hotel bed, Kevin checked the information on his phone again.
This text message was sent by Mito.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Mito had obviously returned to his hometown and seemed to have obtained some information that Kevin wanted.
They agreed to meet in South Zha City on November 25th.
Today was already November 2nd, so counting, there were only twenty-three days left.
Kevin opened the computer in the hotel room and started to look up information about South Zha City.
South Zha City is located in You Lu Bi An Continent, in a remote area, surrounded by mountains, and has very rich natural resources.
The main residents there are some ethnic minorities and religious people.
Kevin browsed the local tourist guide and learned that several ethnic minorities lived there, and there were also large natural areas and uninhabited areas nearby.
"It really is a remote place," Kevin muttered to himself.
After some consideration, Kevin directly changed his itinerary and decided to go to You Lu Bi An Continent in advance.
Anyway, there were no other urgent matters for the time being, so going earlier wouldn't hurt.
"Where should I choose as my destination?" Kevin thought, "Yorknew City, that's the largest city nearby, I'll go there."
