Chapter 55: Chapter 53: Maybe She Chose Me Because I’m More Handsome
"What strategy could be more challenging than hunting the Desert Wolf Pack while fending off Qi Mountain’s ambushes?"
At this moment, a person from the opposite booth walked out. Liu Qian put down the yellowed Wilderness Notes and spoke to Lin Feng and the two others.
Lin Feng thought about it and realized it was indeed the case.
The Desert Wolf Pack is a carnivore, the most dangerous presence in the wilderness.
And the mission’s targets were primarily Rock-Horned Horse Herds, which, being herbivores, always prioritized escaping when not facing a life threat.
It was only the Leader Level Tier One Rock-Horned Horses that had the courage to counterattack, or even take the initiative to strike.
So, as long as one was cautious, there was essentially no danger.
However, low danger didn’t mean low challenge, otherwise, it wouldn’t be that only Han Tao managed to capture a Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse alive all these years.
Although Lin Feng’s goal was at most a Tier One Male Rock-Horned Horse, in the worst case, a mature late-stage Rock-Horned Horse would suffice, with each worth over a thousand points. Two could be exchanged for a basic electric car.
Other accompanying tasks, like acquiring high-quality Photovoltaic Rock Armor from the Tier One Rock-Horned Horses, could be conveniently completed as well.
After all, killing a horse and capturing a horse are entirely different concepts.
With a Level 9 Precision Handgun, Lin Feng could take out a horse from a kilometer away with a single shot.
Even for Tier One evolved Rock-Horned Horses, it just meant adding a couple more shots.
However, the price difference between the two was significant, with differences exceeding threefold.
Moreover, the meaning of a live horse extended beyond that; it could solve many problems for Lin Feng’s squad.
In short, the mission was heavy, and the level of challenge was high.
At this moment, as Liu Qian stepped forward, the others opened the sliding doors and gathered together.
This included the Ah Lian sisters who had been reclusive, Liu Mingfei who fell asleep reading, and Ding Yi who was taking a break.
The seven-member Desert Hunting Team was now all together.
For Level 9 Enhanced People, even a mosquito’s buzz was audible, so Lin Feng’s previous explanation was heard clearly.
They understood the danger the squad currently faced and knew Lin Feng had found a solution.
Facing the gazes of the team members, Lin Feng took a deep breath, then slowly spoke, detailing the bounty orders he had gathered and the arrangements for upcoming missions:
"Evolvers’ Desert Hunting Team can take on multiple bounty orders simultaneously. Once we get the order and the vehicle tomorrow, we must, at minimum, bring along the supplies needed for a Holy Spring Day."
"Then head out to complete them!"
"Afterwards, when we return to Oasis Town, we will already have multiple Evolvers in our ranks, along with a car full of supplies, becoming leading figures in the Five Major Villages..."
"Not to mention that Evolver wanting to cause us trouble, Farmer Village will be the first to disagree if he dares to make a move."
After hearing Lin Feng’s bounty plan, the rest looked at each other.
Quickly, the experienced Ah Lian, somewhat puzzled, asked:
"Capturing Rock-Horned Horses is indeed something we can accomplish now; the crux is the long-term bounty order from Farmer Village — capturing them alive. We have only seven people, and half of our combat strength is questionable..."
"If capturing Rock-Horned Horses were that easy, the completion count of that task wouldn’t still be so low after all these years."
"Young or juvenile Rock-Horned Horses are easier to catch during breeding season, as they haven’t fully developed and lack stamina, but capturing mature Rock-Horned Horses, especially Tier One Male Rock-Horned Horses sought by Farmer Village..."
"To date, only seventeen have been captured."
"And those were achieved by veteran Evolvers leading senior Desert Hunting Teams through great hardships."
Ah Lian sighed deeply as she spoke. The team she was previously part of had disbanded due to the challenge of capturing live horses.
She felt this most acutely:
"Capturing live horses isn’t the same as killing horses; the difficulty isn’t on the same level. It’s not something that can be done just by having more powerful weapons and firepower."
Ah Lian looked at the wolf skin gun holster at Lin Feng’s waist, understanding that his confidence came from that special handgun with inexhaustible bullets and immense power.
But Rock-Horned Horses, especially Male Rock-Horned Horses, are spirited and irritable. To capture them alive requires understanding their habits and knowing some taming techniques to succeed.
Then Liu Qian also spoke up to introduce:
"Past records from Hunters’ notes indicated Rock-Horned Horses are highly temperamental and can literally run themselves to death while escaping, dying from overheating, heatstroke, and ultimately organ failure."
"Even the vets at Farmer Village can’t save them."
"Especially Male Rock-Horned Horses, being hot-tempered and aggressive, capturing one is several times harder than killing them."
Lin Feng nodded, knowing they were right.
But this operation wasn’t just about them:
"These are the challenges that test our capabilities."
"Moreover, this time it’s not only us; there is another team as well."
Having said this, Lin Feng recounted to the group what happened on the second floor of the guild:
"Since they are so confident, coupled with a large group of Desolate Beasts, there are plenty of opportunities!"
Hearing this, several women looked skeptical.
Ah Lian immediately questioned:
"With such an opportunity, there are at least eighty to a hundred Hunters standing in front of that bounty order every day..."
"Why would Lisa specifically approach you?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment, then blurted out:
"Probably because I’m quite handsome!"
These words took the others by surprise at first.
After exchanging glances, they nodded in agreement, as if Lin Feng’s cheeky comment was justified.
Chen Shanshan immediately added:
"Alright then, we’ll do as Lin Feng suggested!"
"When are we meeting that Lisa Squad? They probably aren’t another Desert Hunting Team, right?"
Lin Feng nodded, speculating they were likely a Deserted Village Squad with a vehicle.
Indicating that their team had a Permanent Resident from Fifth Village and was also the leader of the Deserted Village Squad.
This was how they could lead a top-tier Deserted Village Squad, daring to hunt and capture Rock-Horned Horse Herds to fulfill the arduous live capture task.
"They should be a Deserted Village Squad with a vehicle, quite capable."
"They are stronger than Li Hu’s squad, second only to Desert Hunting Teams under Evolvers."
Hearing Lin Feng’s description, Chen Shanshan relaxed.
Her Hunter’s team, with Evolver identities, had an absolute advantage.
Then Liu Qian suddenly said:
"With the other team, Captain Chen, you should let Lin Feng handle it first. Now he’s our captain!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the others nodded, understanding the deep meaning behind Liu Qian’s words.
"Alright, we will send Lin Feng as our representative, to meet and understand that so-called Lisa Squad, and to assess this team’s capabilities!"
Chen Shanshan added.
Then Liu Qian stood forward:
"Take me with you, I’m good at judging people!"
Everyone nodded.
Lin Feng then took Liu Qian, and the two rode bicycles towards the left side of the Fifth Village.
