Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 626: Chapter 626: Seeking Cooperation with Shu Yu Chapter 626: Chapter 626: Seeking Cooperation with Shu Yu “One time could be chalked up to luck, but what about the second? Moreover, the second prey they took down was a ferocious wild boar, much tougher to handle than a roe deer.

Two girls who seemed incapable of trussing up a chicken… Could they really get by without any skills?

Especially since the officers mentioned that they had brought the prey over by the end of 1 p.m.

After discussing with the rest of his team, Ma Lu came to find Shu Yu after dinner.

Now, sitting across from her and taking another measure of her, he noticed her composed and steady demeanor, unlike that of an ordinary girl.

He took a sip of tea and said, “Even if it’s just good luck, that suggests you’re favored by the heavens. Why not rely on this fortune and cooperate with us?”

Shu Yu was surprised, “Cooperate? On what?”

“We’ve discovered traces of a tiger these past two days and we want to take it down. I wonder if Lady Lu would be interested.”

A tiger? Hunting a tiger was not a simple matter.

Shu Yu stroked her chin, “Why seek us out for cooperation? Though we’ve taken down a roe deer and a wild boar, compared to the other teams, we only consist of two people, not exactly an advantage in numbers.”

The team of eight would actually be the most suitable for cooperation; with more people, everyone pulling a little weight could exhaust the tiger.

Ma Lu was silent for a moment, “Of course, we also considered other teams, but, unfortunately, none suited us. Even if they have the numbers, their cooperation lacks tacit understanding, and each has their own schemes. Some are even cruel and will stab you in the back. If they turn on us while hunting the tiger, we could suffer heavy losses.”

Hunting, yet having to guard against your own people… was there even a point to chase such prey?

“You’re different. You and Miss Fang didn’t know each other before yesterday. But in just one day’s time, you’ve managed to work together well enough to take down both a roe deer and a wild boar. This shows that both of you are open to suggestions and can adapt quickly. Since the two of you can coordinate so swiftly, I believe you could do the same with our team.”

Shu Yu hadn’t expected him to have thought so deeply about this.

She was flattered by such praise, “Even if we are indeed quite capable, we’ve only been to the mountains twice and are unfamiliar with the terrain. Going deep into the mountains with you to hunt a tiger is far too risky. We don’t have any greater ambitions, and for us two, it’s enough to hunt some wild chickens and hares outside. There’s no benefit for us in hunting a tiger, it doesn’t add up.”

“Who says there’s no benefit?” Ma Lu shook his head, “During the hunt, capturing a tiger or Big Bear means more than extra food shares—you even get money and other rewards.”

Rewards?

Shu Yu was indeed interested, “Like what?”

“You get two days off to leave Righteous Dao Village. And having your name known to the bailiff could lead to other benefits down the line.”

Wow, those rewards sounded quite substantial.

But going after tigers and bears was truly gambling with your life; such rewards were only fair.

Shu Yu had never heard of these rewards. When she inquired about the hunt from the one-armed Xu Dali initially, he hadn’t mentioned them.

Perhaps he thought such matters too far-fetched for her and pointless to mention?

For Shu Yu, however, these rewards were very enticing.

“You’re saying leaving Righteous Dao Village… Does that mean you can go anywhere you like?”
