Chapter 1: Hunter's Notes
"I ...... Still alive? ”
Maud opened her eyes and jerked up, stunned to find herself lying on a rudimentary wooden bed.
Before he could check his surroundings, his head suddenly tingled.
Some images covered with fine marks spun in my mind like a marquee.
Unfamiliar.
Clear.
Fuzzy.
Many memory images are mixed up, which seems to be the cause of the stinging in the head.
"I've been ......"
In addition to the stinging, Maude's eyes were blank.
He clearly remembered that in the turmoil in the hall of the Hunters' Association, he was unfortunately affected by the power of the [Wishing Machine] that beat the enemy Hakka.
Including him, even the protagonist group of the Hunter World, as well as many powerhouses of the Hunter Association, were not spared.
In front of that unreasonable force that seems to be able to break the dimensional wall, he obviously didn't do anything, but he could be shot while lying down.
Almost instantly, without even a chance to resist, his body was twisted into hemp rope.
The change came quickly and suddenly, but the intense pain remained, a shadow of death that hung over Maude's thoughts.
Suddenly, you can feel the pain of tearing through your skin.
It took a long time for the negative feelings of the shadow of death to fade away.
Alive.
That's enough.
It was also at this time that Maude had the time to check her surroundings.
It was a wooden room with less than ten square meters of space, and a faint musty smell permeated the air.
Cracks are visible on the wooden walls and even on the floor.
The furnishings in the room were unusually monotonous, except for the single bed where Maud was lying at this time, the only furniture in the room was a set of wooden tables and chairs without ornaments, and a mirror hanging on the wall.
A low-power incandescent lamp hangs from the ceiling, providing a limited light source for the room.
Other than that, there was nothing else in the room, not even a single window.
His gaze slowly swept over the dusty tables and chairs, and finally settled on the dusty mirror on the side.
Through the reflection in the mirror, Maude sees a strange dark-haired teenager.
The age of the young man in the mirror is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his facial features are not handsome, but they are delicate and pleasing to the eye.
The young man's forehead was wrapped in a bloodstained bandage, and his face was sickly pale, and he looked weak.
Maude looked at the "self" in the mirror in a daze, and those strange memories in her mind gradually became clear.
Under the brief baptism of these strange memories, Maude endured the tingling sensation, and the uncertainty in her eyes became more and more obvious.
"That's ...... so"
He crossed again.
Moreover, this time it is not worn by the body, but by the soul.
So, he survived in this way.
Exhaling slowly, Maude was in no hurry to get out of bed to figure out where she was further.
Instead, he closed his eyes and slowly accepted the memories left by this body, trying to extract useful information from them.
After a long time, Maud opened her eyes, and fine beads of sweat quietly oozed from her pale face.
"Slave Traps and Pirate Ships......
Gently brushing the sweat from her cheeks with her index finger, Maude lowered her head and muttered to herself.
He figured out where the body came from.
The predecessor was born in a merchant and was unfortunately robbed by pirates on a way to goods.
Except for the young boys like the predecessor, the rest of the adults on the merchant ship were slaughtered by the pirates, including the parents of the predecessor.
Afterward, the predecessor was sold onto a slave catcher and imprisoned with a group of young men in a hay-covered room.
A few days later, the slave catcher was suddenly attacked, and a cannonball blasted open the room where the predecessor was being held.
The memory of the recent past is broken here.
And then ......
Maud touched the bandage on her forehead, but the wound was not very painful.
He had no memory of how he got to this room.
But to be able to escape in such a way, Maud is not only happy but joyful.
"Pirates, pirates...... Could it be the world of One Piece? ”
Maud pondered.
He was a little unsure.
But the only thing that is certain at the moment is that everything has to be restarted.
"If only the ability was still there."
Maud thought silently.
When the thought arose, without warning, a thin black notebook appeared out of thin air in his hand.
On the cover of the black notebook, two large Chinese characters are outlined in silver - hunter.
Below the word "hunter" are four blank parallel silver lines, and an inkless quill is pinned to the spine of the notebook.
Maude's eyes widened as she looked at the black notebook and quill pen that appeared.
Obviously there is no telekinesis, but the ability is activated.
And......
Maud looked at the blank space on the parallel silver line.
There should have been four words on the silver thread that reflected his needs, but they were now emptied.
Maud flipped through the notebook.
What catches my eye is still blank.
Rustle –
Turn to the second and third pages......
Still blank!
In the original page, it recorded the results of his four years of low-key [hunting] in the hunter world, and now it is all gone.
"Reset? No wonder you don't feel any 'gain'. ”
Even though the hunting results were emptied due to the reset, the ability was still there, which was enough to make Maud ecstatic.
Hunter's Note is a growth-type ability that Maude painstakingly developed when he was in the hunter world full-time in order to maximize the intelligence advantage of the traverser.
In order to activate the ability, you must complete five steps, which are:
Set hunting needs→ find hunting targets→ prepare for hunting→ complete hunting operations→ harvest hunting fruits.
The first step is to record on the silver line four different needs according to one's own needs, and the four needs recorded by Maude at the beginning are: mental ability skills, heart drops, fist listening, latent qi, and manifest qi.
But if it's in the world of One Piece, these needs obviously won't work.
However, there are some common needs.
For example, physical arts, such as swordsmanship, such as physical strength, such as Devil Fruit's ability experience, and such as domineering experience......
After entering the [Requirements], simply write the name of the target on the note page and generate the target's appearance in your mind to complete the second step of finding the hunting target.
The third step in preparing for the hunt is to record the correct information about the abilities of the target in all aspects.
The more detailed the information you can record, the more fruitful you will be if you hunt the target yourself.
The ability is still there, even if it is done all over again, it can grow at the fastest speed.
Maud was excited, but also quickly calmed down.
He realized a problem.
While the Hunter's Notes were still there, he wasn't sure if they would apply to the current world.
If it doesn't, it's a waste of joy.
Slowly closing the hunter's notes, Maud muttered to herself, "It's a good start, but for now, we need to figure out the situation as soon as possible." ”
As soon as the words fell, a gunshot suddenly rang out outside.
Maude's eyes froze, and he reflexively rolled out of bed, looking warily at the closed door.
Then, the gunfire became more and more intense, like the sound of fireworks frequently blooming in the distance, some distance away.
Hearing that the source of the gunshots was not inside the house, but somewhere outside the house, Maud did not let her guard down and subconsciously pinched the hunter's notes.
With his current body, if he encounters an emergency, he will only be fish on someone else's chopping board, to be slaughtered.
The gunfire outside continued back and forth for a full five minutes before it subsided, and Maude stared at the door for more than five minutes.
The gunfire just now gave him a preliminary understanding of the chaos in this world.
Clenching the hunter's notes tightly, but not bringing any sense of security.
Because, the current hunter's notes can be said to be useless, and only by successfully completing a hunt can you get a tangible buff effect.
Tom Tom –
Shortly after the gunfire had subsided, Maud heard footsteps from far and near outside the door, her pupils shrank slightly, and she withdrew her hunter's notes.
Then he quickly got up, slowed down, and leaned his back against the wall to the right of the door.
Under the premise of unknown circumstances, it is more advantageous to be on the side of the door than to squat on the edge of the empty wooden bed.
Soon, footsteps came closer.
Maud tilted her head to her right and held her breath.
Crunch –
The wooden door was pushed open, making a screeching sound.
However, no one entered the room, and instead poked out the muzzle of a black hole.
And the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Maude at an eerie angle.
In an instant, Maude's heart skipped a beat.
With his current body, he was shot and it was over.
