Chapter 70: The Gambling Contract

"How is that possible?" Hearing Wenlong say that he was far inferior to Catherine in two aspects, Claude felt that it was impossible no matter how he thought about it.

After all, he is a real two-star high-level hunter, and he has only one step away from the promotion mission of impacting the three-star hunter before, although he failed! And that woman was just at the level of a one-star high-level hunter, how could she compare to herself?

"It must be the Eru cat in front of you who is mistaken, well, it must be......" Claude thought to himself.

So Claude said, "I think you must be mistaken, how could I not even be a one-star hunter?" You must know that I am the most powerful newcomer to the Meje Portan Hunter Guild now, and I am a two-star high-level hunter. Not only do I have more strength than the average hunter, but my age also means that I still have plenty of room to grow! ”

At this time, Claude had given up his usual modest image and said excitedly.

"Oops, hey, strength is not up to you," Wen Long still said with a smile, "You are indeed stronger than that stupid woman now, but if you talk about the potential as a hunter and the possibility of becoming stronger in the future, I am still more optimistic about that stupid woman, and this is what I said about the first place where you are inferior to that stupid woman, meow!" ”

"Potential? I'm not older than that woman in terms of age, so why don't I have as much potential as hers? Obviously, Wen Long's words did not convince the other party.

So Wen Long continued: "I know you don't believe it, but I can't prove it now, after all, there is only time to prove such a thing as potential, so why don't we make a bet?" Meow? ”

"Bet? How to bet? ”

"Well, it's very simple, because I see that you are a two-star high-level hunter, and the highest-level hunter I know of Millard Village should only be a two-star low-level, so you should not be a hunter from Millard Village, but was sent by the Hunters Guild from Mejepotan to carry out an investigation mission about the recent mysterious monster infestation, right?"

"Well, that's true." Claude nodded, admitting that Wen Long's reasoning was indeed not wrong.

"Then that's easy, let's take this urgent investigation mission as a bet, that is, to see who can find out the monster's true body first! How's that? After all, compared to simply hunting a monster, the target this time doesn't even know the real body, which can test a person's hunting skills more, isn't it? Meow? ”

Claude thought for a moment, and then said, "No problem, are you willing to be my entourage cat if you win the bet?" ”

"Ah, of course!" Wenlong said very confidently, "But if you lose, then you have to hand over the contents of this entire box to Uncle Ben, meow!" ”

"Yes." Like Wenlong, Claude also thought that he would not lose, so he immediately agreed, "But there is no evidence, how about we make a note?" ”

"Absolutely."

So in this way, Wenlong and Claude signed a paper contract, which was used as a credit certificate for this gambling contract.

Then Claude went on to ask, "Then may I ask, Mr. Wenlong, what is the second place where you said that I am inferior to the woman named Catherine?" ”

"Oh, the second thing that's not as good as the woman is that you might be pretty good at solo hunting, but you don't seem to know how to hunt with people, meow."

"I don't understand what you mean, how can you tell if I will unite and cooperate with others?" In Claude's memory, Wen Long should not have seen himself hunting, so Claude didn't believe that Wen Long could see what kind of state he usually hunted in.

"Of course I can tell, look at you, there are six Ailu cats in the room to serve you, but you didn't take one Ailu out when you went out, isn't it clear? Meow? ”

"That's ...... Because they're so weak, even if they hunt together, they'll only hold me back! That's why I need a powerful cat like you to help me! Claude argued.

"Really? Because it's too weak, it will only hold back, so you don't want to hunt with such an Ailu cat? But when you were still a weakling, were you ever led by someone stronger? ”

"Like...... Indeed...... Have ...... bar. Claude thought back for a moment, and in Claude's memory, there was indeed an old hunter who tried to help him when he was still weak, and he also teamed up to hunt monsters together.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that any hunter has teamed up with someone who is stronger than himself, after all, no matter how strong a hunter is, he is originally a rookie hunter who doesn't know anything. And at this time, he became the side of the weak. Therefore, Wenlong believes that the so-called strength and weakness are only relative concepts.

"So, when I team up with teammates who are stronger than myself, I secretly rejoice in my heart, but once I meet teammates who are weaker than myself, I immediately dislike each other, how can a person with double standards like you know what empathy is? Meow? ”

"Empathy?" Claude is no stranger to the word empathy, but if you want to say what this term has to do with hunting, then Claude really hasn't thought about it.

"Simply put, it's about putting yourself in the shoes of the other person, and it's a skill that can predict what your teammates will do. Wouldn't it be terrible if you didn't anticipate what your teammates might do and accidentally got injured by their teammates' firepower? ”

"In addition, if it is according to your standards, then Uncle Ben will never team up with you, because you are just a weak person who will only drag his feet in front of Uncle Ben! Meow! ”

Although Wen Long said these words with a very righteous expression and tone, when he said this, Wen Long also left behind the fact that he had disliked Catherine too weakly.

"Sure enough, standing on the moral high ground and criticizing others is also a very refreshing thing, meow."

With this in mind, Wenlong left the room where Claude was......

Walking out of the Silver Dragon Pavilion Hotel, Wenlong immediately saw Catherine running towards him.

"Mr. Cat, Mr. Cat, I finally got a new Hunter Badge, it's a one-star Venus Badge, and I'm finally a one-star high-level Hunter!" Undoubtedly, after becoming a one-star high-level hunter, Catherine was also very excited.

"Well, well done, woman. But the new hunt is about to start again, don't lose Uncle Ben's practice when the time comes, meow! As he spoke, Wen Long raised the cloth bag containing eighty gold coins in his hand.
