Finding that Shun Qing was not approachable, Wen Wen intended to get closer to Qiao Feiya. After all, she also held a position at headquarters and might have a solution.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wen Wen approached, Qiao Feiya's face turned slightly red. She shot Wen Wen a displeased glare before leaving with Shun Qing, leaving Wen Wen utterly bewildered.
She shouldn't have overheard his conversation with Shun Qing earlier.
Then, he looked at Sifolmo and the Queen, who was lying on the ground next to him, and finally understood.
It turned out that Qiao Feiya had wanted to see the two strongest bosses here upon hearing they were monsters ranked in the Disaster Sequence, especially since one had been captured alive.
However, she ended up seeing the Ice Queen, who was described as weak, pitiful, and helpless, with only a banana leaf to cover herself. Upon learning that Wen Wen was the culprit behind the Ice Queen's state, she developed an extreme dislike for him.
Women like her, who were powerful themselves, always felt sympathy for other women.
Wen Wen sighed. This development was somewhat off.
After the major issues were dealt with, Fairy Tale Town entered a long period of follow-up work.
Every ordinary person who had been granted superpowers by Song Ling was escorted away by the Association and taken onto transport planes.
Wen Wen was unaware of where they would be sent; it seemed to be classified. However, it was likely that a large portion would undergo training to serve as the Association's combat power, while others would be subjected to observation and experiments.
As for the monsters that had transformed into human form, they were to be sent to the Frozen Continent, where they would be under the supervision of the Hunter Association.
The Frozen Continent was a vast continent entirely covered in ice and snow, located at the southernmost part of the Federation. Due to its sparse population, no major districts were established there.
It was completely under the control of the Hunter Association, which maintained a special, massive city known as the Special Resettlement Zone, specifically designed for beings unsuitable for life in modern society.
This included monsters that were not malicious but had unsightly appearances, superpowered individuals who had violated Association regulations but whose crimes did not warrant death, or even ordinary humans who posed a significant threat to society.
Over a long period, the Special Resettlement Zone had grown to an astonishing size and developed a relatively unique order. There, as long as the monsters caused no trouble, they could live normal lives just like humans.
Monsters that behaved well could earn the qualification to travel to the human world, but very few monsters chose to leave. This was because life there was actually more comfortable for them than the turmoil of the human world.
As the two special beings in the Fairy Tale Town incident, Li Dazhuang and Tao Wen attracted considerable attention.
After demonstrating his superpowers, Li Dazhuang was directly taken away by Shun Qing. He was to be sent to the General Headquarters for training before his final placement was decided. Superpowered individuals with unique abilities like him would be valued wherever they went, and he was destined for a good career within the Hunter Association.
As for Tao Wen, he remained hidden in the containment facility and was unaffected by this incident. He had acquired some non-human characteristics but could no longer be brainwashed.
Therefore, after completing his studies, he would join the Hunter Association as a logistical assistant.
As a reserve assistant still attending school, Tao Wen's future education might differ entirely from that of normal students his age.
...
In a hotel in Songtao City, Wen Wen, Jiao Xinlei, and Sifolmo ordered a table full of food and drinks, chatting as they ate and drank.
Sharing drinks to bid farewell after completing a mission together was a tradition among wanderers, a tradition that fostered a friendly atmosphere within the entire wanderer community.
Many older wanderers maintained connections with most of the other wanderers. When help was needed, any wanderer could summon a large number of others to assist.
Since they had gotten along relatively well during the latter part of their time together, Wen Wen and Sifolmo followed this tradition. Jiao Xinlei, being familiar with Wen Wen and having rescued Sifolmo during his mission, also joined their gathering.
The next day, the main contingent of the Hunter Association would depart from Songtao City, and Sifolmo would accompany them back to the General Headquarters.
Sifolmo had a habit of avoiding traveling alone, as he tended to get lost.
Jiao Xinlei would also return to Furonghe City with Tao Wen the following day.
As for Wen Wen, he had no new missions lined up for the time being. He decided to take advantage of the break between missions to visit home.
He hadn't returned to that home in years, nor had he paid respects at his parents' graves for a long time. This was the first time since he left the city that he felt the urge to go back and see it.
The entire night passed with the three of them engaged in boisterous conversations. The little cub, San Zai, continued to scavenge for food under the table.
As Wen Wen gradually became wealthier, San Zai was no longer as pitiful as it used to be, but it still enjoyed this lifestyle.
Wen Wen never brought San Zai along on missions because the creature was too weak. However, it was always present during meals. To Wen Wen, San Zai's only real use was for driving his car. Sudan Novel Network.
After eating and drinking their fill and bidding each other farewell, Wen Wen walked towards his car. As he walked, the smell of alcohol on him dissipated rapidly, leaving no trace.
For Wen Wen, getting drunk was an enjoyment only when shared with others. When he was alone, alcohol held no meaning for him.
Closing the car windows, Wen Wen entered the containment facility. He needed to properly take stock of his gains from this mission, which had been quite fruitful compared to his other demon-hunting endeavors.
Leaving aside the supplies that would keep the monsters fed for some time, he had captured three monsters alone.
The Disaster-level Little Red Riding Hood, the once Disaster-sequenced but now only Disaster-level Black Blood Princess, and the Poker General, who was also only Disaster-level at present.
The Black Blood Princess and the Poker General were of good quality, given their past Disaster-level strength.
Although the Black Blood Princess was unconscious, Wen Wen could still utilize her powers to imbue blood with a wilting characteristic, but this was only possible when using her physique.
Therefore, Wen Wen valued her other ability even more – 'Liquid Molding'!
This ability allowed the Black Blood Princess to control her blood. With this ability, Wen Wen could condense water into the shape of a long sword, and this sword would possess the hardness and sharpness of a real long sword.
This was an ability with a wide range of applications, providing Wen Wen with significant convenience. It was akin to a super-enhanced version of the Water Ghost's water-controlling ability.
Compared to the water-controlling ability, this power could manipulate other liquids as well. The only potential drawback was that the volume of liquid it could control might not be as large as the Water Ghost's ability.
