The Key is Dropping Equipment

How to judge the world behind an anomaly, Zheng Yichen had encountered anomalies twice and already had experience. For the world behind an anomaly, once you pass through, you can judge it by the brief sensation after passing. If your body experiences a significant boost in activity, it means that world is quite powerful.

If your body and some special senses are suppressed, and you feel very oppressed, then don't think too much about it. Turn around and leave. Such a world would likely be a deadly desert for him.

"Alright, bygones are bygones. I'm leaving." Zheng Yichen put the book back and prepared to leave.

"Wait, don't go, we have something we want to ask of you!" The town chief quickly said, "We will offer generous compensation!"

"Oh? Tell me about it." Zheng Yichen understood the reason for the town chief's ecstatic expression earlier. There was a murder case in the town. They weren't looking for the police but for a 'Demon Hunter.' This indicated that the murder case in this place was not man-made?

"It's a murder case in the town. We originally intended to find the police in the city."

Police, after a simple understanding, Zheng Yichen had some knowledge of the specific situation in this world. Comparing the time, it was roughly between the 17th and 18th centuries of Earth before his transmigration.

"Since it's not an ordinary incident, why didn't you find the Church?"

Zheng Yichen asked his question.

The town chief looked helpless: "Mainly because many people in the town don't believe the murder case was caused by Evil Creatures. Also, the priests invited from the Church are very expensive. Primarily, this place is remote, and they might not be willing to come."

"Demon Hunters are cheaper?"

"No, no, no. The most important thing is that many people don't believe this murder case was caused by Evil Creatures. If you can catch the culprit and convince others, you will definitely receive generous compensation."

Although the town chief didn't say it so directly, Zheng Yichen still understood some of the meaning. He would definitely receive generous compensation... and it would be cheaper than inviting those priests from the Church?

"Okay, I'll get a general understanding of the situation first."

Zheng Yichen stopped the town chief from continuing. He definitely wanted to get some money in this world, and he definitely wanted to get some powerful Abnormal Creatures. He hadn't drawn blood from the zombies and corpses he dealt with before. Even if he used the Black Gun to draw blood, he couldn't taste it.

But he didn't want to try the taste of that rotten blood!

He still wanted to find some relatively normal Abnormal Creatures. Even a Vampire would be better than a corpse, right? As for Witches, it would depend on their looks.

"You agree?"

"Yes, I agree. Are there any other questions?"

"No, no more."

Zheng Yichen temporarily stayed in this small town. The townspeople were still full of suspicion about his identity. They knew about the existence of Demon Hunters but had never seen a real one. In this era, they generally lived in one place their entire lives, and their channels of information were quite closed. Their understanding of other matters was mostly hearsay.

In the impression of many people in the town, Demon Hunters should wear leather armor or light armor, carrying weapons to deal with Evil Creatures, or some small trophies. Because they often moved in the wild, they had messy hair under their hats and long beards, looking weathered. At the same time, they wore cloaks or capes to conceal larger weapons.

They were strong and appeared unapproachable, maintaining considerable vigilance towards everything around them. After all, books said that Evil Creatures were cunning and good at deception. A careless Demon Hunter would die quickly. Another point was that Demon Hunters, in their impression, were definitely not young.

In the image they had conjured from hearsay, Zheng Yichen only matched in terms of being strong. But apart from that, his image had no connection to their imagined appearance.

Is this young man really a Demon Hunter? Someone like him should be participating in knight selections.

Regarding the curious gazes of the town residents, Zheng Yichen found a place to eat his compressed biscuits. These things usually don't taste very good, but in Longcheng, as long as you have money, you can buy compressed biscuits that taste good.

As for the food here, Zheng Yichen had no intention of touching it for now, as he was worried about encountering any problems.

At the same time, he was observing the situation in this small town. Although it was remote, there were quite a few people living here. Judging by their clothing, the living conditions of the people here were actually not too bad. The peasant women passing by were all dressed decently, and there were people riding in carriages on the road, who were clearly the rich people in this remote small town.

Some children in the town looked at Zheng Yichen curiously, wanting to come over but were pulled back by their parents. Overall, the entire town was quite resistant to outsiders like Zheng Yichen.

The biggest reason was his identity. He was an unknown 'Demon Hunter', not a police officer from a big city investigating a case here. Moreover, his appearance was different from their stereotypical image of a Demon Hunter. The townspeople naturally kept their distance from Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen didn't care about this. His main goal was to find the Abnormal Creature that the Town Chief mentioned, defeat it, collect the bounty, and then go to the big cities in this world to take a look. The information he could gather in a small place was too limited.

"It feels like a detective game... but they're too uncooperative, aren't they?" Zheng Yichen looked at the town residents who were walking around him, and couldn't help but want to curse them as villains. He took this matter upon himself, but that was also to help them, wasn't it?

Is this how you treat a kind person?

Muttering to himself, Zheng Yichen went back to the Town Chief's house. The Town Chief's wife's eyes lit up when she saw Zheng Yichen's physique, and her attitude was much more enthusiastic than those vi... residents.

"Have you found anything out? Sit down and have some water."

"No need for water, I still have things to do." Zheng Yichen felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by this Aunt. He admitted that he was much stronger than ordinary adults, but if someone were to use their physique to attract people, it should be young girls.

He found the Town Chief and decided to examine the victims' corpses first.

The corpses were well preserved. Of course, there were no morgues in this era. The so-called preservation was to place the corpses in a cool place. As for the earlier corpses, they had already been buried. If they were left for too long, they would smell bad, and the townspeople couldn't stand it.

The corpses Zheng Yichen saw were headless, with obvious burn marks on their necks. This immediately made Zheng Yichen think of bladed weapons with Flame Enchantment. If they weren't burned like this after death, he would have one more reason to deal with that Abnormal Creature.

Defeat monsters and get Equipment! After transmigrating, he didn't get any Golden Finger or quest panel, but that didn't stop his current desire to complete quests.
