The compensation provided by the Paradise was indeed sincere, but for Lu Feng, it was not what he truly desired in his heart.
Although those compensations seemed quite generous and could improve his survival rate, compared to Su Dalao's astonishing growth rate, they were simply insignificant.
After just one world progression, the gains Su Dalao obtained far exceeded the sum of all these compensations.
One must look at the bigger picture.
Of course, it was unrealistic to directly ask the Paradise for a profession template comparable to a Destroyer.
Ever since he was teleported to the Paradise, Lu Feng had been thinking about how to develop himself better.
After much deliberation, he finally came up with a solution—to make a special request:
"Because my entry into the Paradise and my subsequent transformation into a Hunter were closely related to Su Xiao. Therefore, I request that my luck be influenced and affected by Su Xiao's luck."
Lu Feng, who knew the plot later on, was very clear about the immense luck of Su Dalao's Destroyer + Source of Dead Silence + Book of Original Sin. Although this luck was negative, one could not deny its magnitude.
The immense luck brought endless opportunities and valuable resources, as well as countless crises.
Lu Feng was very self-aware; he knew that with his own abilities and strength, he could not fully control such a vast power of luck.
Therefore, he chose a relatively safer path—indirectly leveraging this power of luck.
This way, although the resources he could obtain might not be as abundant as direct control, the crises he would face would also be greatly reduced.
As for whether this borrowing would be discovered by Su Dalao, Lu Feng felt that the possibility of his insignificant luck being attached to it and noticed was small.
It was like a driver of a fully loaded truck not noticing an extra ant among his goods.
[Hunter's application approved]
It worked!
Lu Feng was overjoyed, just as he had expected.
Su Dalao's immense luck accumulated later on; currently, he was just a newcomer who had just entered the Paradise. Allowing his own luck to be influenced by him was a very low requirement in the Paradise's judgment.
[Due to the Hunter's luck changing, subsequent worlds entered will be the same as Hunter Su Xiao's (excluding World Conquests, special events, and key entries)]
This is easy to understand: whichever world Su Dalao enters, Lu Feng's next progression will also be that world.
World Conquests and special events are not reproducible and are excluded from this list.
This situation has its pros and cons. The advantage is that Lu Feng can know the world he is entering in advance, and when doing tasks, he can 'copy homework' according to Su Dalao's operations.
The downside is that Su Dalao enters high-risk worlds. If Lu Feng cannot keep up with Su Dalao's strengthening speed, he will face extreme dangers in subsequent worlds.
[Teleportation starting...]
The teleportation, which had just been interrupted, resumed, and Lu Feng's eyes immediately went black.
---
With the same treatment as Su Dalao, Lu Feng woke up in a dilapidated house.
The Paradise's notification came again:
World Entered: one piece
World Difficulty: LV.6. Nightmare (This difficulty is a trial difficulty exclusive to Hunters)
World Source: 0% (Hunter explores or interacts with current world characters, World Source will increase. When settling the world, it will be calculated with task difficulty to form the final score.)
World Introduction: Sea, Freedom, Pirates, Marines, World Government.
Main Quest: Assassinate the King of the 'Goa Kingdom'.
Side Quest: None.
Warning: Do not mention anything about 'Paradise' in this world. If the warning is ignored, mandatory execution will occur!
Hint: As this is the Hunter's first entry into the world, the Hunter automatically masters the language of this world for a period of (three natural days).
World, start!
Well, not only were the experienced worlds the same, but even the tasks were identical.
However, this was also good, further reducing the difficulty for Lu Feng to "copy homework."
When others entered a derivative world, they were all cautious, feeling their way across the river.
Lu Feng was formidable; he felt his way across the river by following Su Dalao.
Following Su Dalao's methods, Lu Feng, with some minor scares, obtained a letter of introduction, joined the guard squad, privately traded with Hank, and assassinated the guard captain, Brayden Ouka.
Now, the side quest, "Left Minister's Collection," has been triggered, requiring him to kill the Master of Mount Kolbo and obtain its teeth.
The only regret was that he did not find the powerful weapon "Dragon Slasher" in the warehouse.
Presumably, once this legendary weapon reached Su Dalao's hands, it became unique, and even if the derivative world was reset by the Paradise, this weapon would not reappear.
The Master of Mount Kolbo is a giant tiger. A head-on confrontation would certainly be a dead end. Lu Feng honestly followed Su Dalao's method: first lure it with catnip, then detonate the buried gunpowder barrels.
Furthermore, Lu Feng learned from Su Dalao's lesson and super-doubled the buried gunpowder barrels, aiming for a one-hit kill.
After setting up the trap, it wasn't long before the Master of Mount Kolbo appeared!
The book described it as over four meters tall, with a body length of at least seven or eight meters, even larger than an elephant on Earth, about the size of a house.
All this time, Lu Feng had only understood information about this creature through text, without ever having any direct experience.
However, when this giant beast appeared alive before him, the shock and oppressive feeling instantly surged towards him like a tide.
Looking at the mountain-like presence before him, Lu Feng's conviction grew stronger—he must never engage it head-on!
No feline could resist the temptation of catnip, and even this enormous giant tiger was no exception.
After a cautious inspection, repeatedly confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, it finally couldn't suppress its inner impulse and rushed forward, beginning to chew heartily.
After chewing for a while, the originally majestic Master of Mount Kolbo began to sway as if drunk.
Immediately after, it flipped onto its back, its entire back pressed against the ground, rubbing back and forth incessantly.
The time was ripe, yet Lu Feng hesitated to fire his gun and detonate the gunpowder barrels.
His damned cat-lover addiction had flared up!
Lu Feng's job was a pet dog trainer, but who said a pet dog trainer couldn't be a cat lover?
Although terrifyingly large, the current behavior of the Master of Mount Kolbo was exactly like the orange cat Lu Feng kept at home.
This gave him an impulse to go up and pet it, making him reluctant to deliver a killing blow.
Quickly suppressing this suicidal impulse, Lu Feng hid in the tree and continued to wait patiently. Fortunately, he had a backup plan, which could now come in handy.
Lu Feng was very clear that felines would hallucinate and roll around after eating catnip. If the giant tiger rolled further and further away from the buried gunpowder barrels, his setup would be ruined.
Lu Feng's backup plan was to inject a large amount of anesthetic into the catnip. This way, even if the gunpowder barrel plan failed, the Master of Mount Kolbo, knocked out on the ground, would still be at his mercy.
Moreover, Lu Feng noticed that the side quest was called "Left Minister's Collection," so Lu Feng guessed that obtaining the Master of Mount Kolbo's teeth was the key to the quest, and whether or not to kill it would not affect the completion of the quest.
As planned, after about ten more minutes, the Master of Mount Kolbo lay motionless on the ground.
The anesthetic had taken effect!
Lu Feng's courage grew. He used both his hands and feet to slowly climb down from the tree.
Then he directly pounced onto the giant tiger's snowy white and soft belly, frantically rubbing its stomach, as if the creature before him was not a fierce beast, but a docile and cute cat.
Don't tell me, don't tell me. Although this giant tiger looked incredibly intimidating, the feel of its belly was first-rate.
That delicate, smooth, and slightly warm touch was simply irresistible.
Just as Lu Feng was fully immersed in this unprecedented pleasure of "cat petting," he felt a scorching stream of air on his back.
Startled, he instinctively turned his head to check. What he saw nearly scared the soul out of him.
It turned out that the Master of Mount Kolbo had woken up! At this moment, it was staring wide-eyed at Lu Feng, its gaze filled with chilling ferocity.
It had only taken a short nap earlier; the small dose of anesthetic Lu Feng used had no effect on it whatsoever.
Now, the hot air spewing from its nostrils rushed towards him, even making Lu Feng's hair stand on end.
The situation became extremely awkward.
However, the Master of Mount Kolbo slightly raised its head towards Lu Feng and let out a low purring sound, as if asking, "Why did you stop? Continue."
Understanding the Master of Mount Kolbo's meaning, Lu Feng dared not be too presumptuous. He kneaded cautiously, while also using massage techniques to curry favor.
The Master of Mount Kolbo had never enjoyed such pleasure before; all its pores opened in comfort.
[Hint: Master of Mount Kolbo · Anka's favorability +20, current favorability 90 points]
[Hint: 1-10 favorability is first meeting, 10-60 is friend relationship, 60-80 is close friend, 80-100 can recruit servants or followers in specific situations]
The sudden notification greatly surprised Lu Feng. Such high favorability, reaching the point of being able to recruit directly?!
To be on the safe side, it's better to play it safe first.
Lu Feng took out the two remaining pieces of catnip from his pocket and tossed them to Master of Mount Kolbo · Anka, who unceremoniously caught them in its mouth.
[Hint: Master of Mount Kolbo · Anka's favorability +10, current favorability has reached the maximum of 100 points]
[Hunter's talent, Heart of the Beast, takes effect. Master of Mount Kolbo · Anka's favorability towards you has exceeded the extreme value of 100 points. You can recruit it as a follower]
[Hint: Master of Mount Kolbo · Anka's strength greatly exceeds the range of followers a Hunter can recruit. You can only recruit it as a temporary follower in this world]
I'm rich!
Lu Feng had only this thought in his mind at this moment.
