Chapter 155 - Chapter 155: Bounty Mission: Beedrill Swarm

Gengwu is planning to work even harder at home~

Gengwu took the newly issued Bounty Hunter card and went to the mission release area.

The mission release area was already full. There was a very large scrolling screen, displaying missions of various ranks.

There were a total of eight ranks for missions: E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.

S-rank and above missions were very rare, but Gengwu remembered that in a few months, an S-rank mission called "Deidara on Mt. Silver" would appear. An Elite Four-level Deidara would soon lay eggs on Mt. Silver.

Someone released this S-rank mission, causing countless bounty hunters to go to Mt. Silver. It was truly a bounty hunter's graveyard-level mission.

Gengwu queued in a small line, then reached the window and received two missions: "Exterminate Giant Beedrill" and "Exterminate Large Arcanine Pack."

Just as Gengwu was about to leave the Hunter Association, a service staff member was already waiting at the elevator door, handing a briefcase containing large milk can spirits to Gengwu.

I almost forgot about the big milk can!

Gengwu's old face turned red. Fortunately, the crying mask was blocking it, otherwise, it would have been too embarrassing.

Detonating Industries, President's Office.

"President, there's an anonymous package outside. We've already scanned it. There are no explosives inside. It seems to be a notebook," Assistant Shaxing said cautiously.

"Open it and see." Shaxing didn't even lift his head, still dealing with official business.

"777"

"President, I've already opened it. It's an account book," the assistant replied.

"Put it aside. I'll look at it when I have time," Shaxing said indifferently.

He was about to head to the Chengdu area, so Shaxing had to finish the large amount of work piled up on his hands.

That brat, Dasu, was clearly someone who didn't know how to handle official business. When Shaxing returned, he would probably have a mountain of public documents to review himself.

The mountain of public documents made Shaxing, who was no longer young, lose the joy of digging for minerals everywhere.

"Phew, finally got rid of those pursuers." Wanlong crouched tiredly on Kairyu's back. Kairyu was flying in one direction.

"The address my junior brother gave me is nearby, but I can't cause him trouble this time," Wanlong said, "Kairyu, this time, help me out again." Another Charizard appeared in the air.

Wanlong landed directly on Charizard's back. Kairyu nodded. It had been a long time since he had seen his newborn little brother, so it was a good detour.

Kairyu's eyes narrowed into a slit, filled with displeasure.

"Since both these missions are near Greenshade Town, let's finish them before heading back." After Gengwu came out of the Hunter Association, he summoned a giant salamander and flew towards Greenshade Town.

Gengwu didn't know that he had just barely missed Kairyu, but it didn't matter. Gengwu had already handed the account book to Shaxing, and Shaxing would complete the mission he had received very well.

The mission to exterminate the Giant Beedrill was released by Greenshade Town's largest fruit tree planting base.

Greenshade Town's unique climate led many companies to establish fruit tree planting bases and medicinal herb planting bases there.

Old Wang was in charge of this fruit tree planting base. At this moment, he looked anxious and pale, watching the Beedrill flying down into the orchard.

"Oh heavens, aren't the bounty hunters here yet? If these Beedrill keep wrecking everything, how much loss will that cause?!" Old Wang felt his hairline receding further.

Beedrill are known as powerful spirits, also called "flower thieves."

Beedrill build their nests in orchards.

When the fruit blossoms bloom, a large number of harvesters come. To prevent other small spirits and harvesters from snatching honey, Beedrill will even bite off the blooming fruit blossoms in one gulp. Authoritarianism is a characteristic of Beedrill.

And Beedrill also fight each other, destroying the blooming fruit blossoms.

The employees planting trees saw the Beedrill, gnashed their teeth, and wanted nothing more than to drive these swarms of insects away.

However, they were thieves with intentions, powerless to resist fate.

Beedrill are spirits that form teams, and their twin stingers are no joke. Seeing them under the sun makes one feel a chill.

If these two types were to go down, it would be almost impossible. Every year in the Spirit World, there were incidents of Beedrill attacking people, and quite a few casualties.

"Old Wang, Old Wang!" An employee from the planting base urgently called out to Old Wang.

"The Hunter Association has arrived! It's a man in a black robe. He has a powerful salamander with him! The orchard is saved!" The excited employee said to Old Wang.

"Ah, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and go meet him!" Old Wang scurried along, his speed a marvel, running like a sprinter.

Gengwu was currently sitting on a chair in the planting base's collection area, drinking tea and looking at the numerous fruit trees around.

The quality of these fruits was very good. It was truly Greenshade Town's largest fruit tree planting base.

Just then, a middle-aged man in his forties came running over, his face anxious and pale.

"Sir Bounty Hunter, I've kept you waiting. I'm Old Wang, the person in charge of this fruit tree planting base." Old Wang said to Gengwu with extreme reverence. The current Gengwu was the hope of the entire fruit tree planting base.

"Lead the way to where the Beedrill swarm appeared," Gengwu said indifferently, his voice sounding as emotionless as if he were talking to a fly.

"Yes, yes," Old Wang responded, hastily leading the way.

Gengwu knew that he couldn't be too amiable with these people; he had to be cold and aloof. Only then could he control them, otherwise, they would easily get arrogant, and then feign sadness, which would be pitiful.

Gengwu had just walked into the planting base when he was shocked by the dense swarm of Beedrill. Had the entire Beedrill population gone crazy?

Why are there so many!!!

"Didn't they say there were only thirty Beedrill swarms? The number of these Beedrill is already over a hundred!" Gengwu was speechless.

Looking at the Beedrill on almost every tree, Gengwu was also speechless. There were also many Beedrill fighting each other. The fruit blossoms were constantly being torn by the Beedrill, forming scattered petals floating in the air. Old Wang watched with a pained heart.

"We released the mission a long time ago, but no bounty hunters came to deal with it, so the Beedrill multiplied more and more," Old Wang said apologetically.

"Don't worry, we will pay you double the bounty." Old Wang pulled out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"And because Beedrill's aggressiveness is extremely strong, we don't even dare to approach the orchard now. Even the flowers that bloomed on the fruit trees were all damaged by the Beedrill.

Even the bounty hunters were afraid that the Beedrill wouldn't come to the orchard." Old Wang's heart was bleeding. This year's harvest was definitely reduced.

"Alright then. It's practice anyway. You just remember to increase the mission rank, and then provide me with some good quality fruits. That's all." Gengwu took out two monster balls. A giant salamander and a Ditto appeared on the spot.

"Giant salamander, use Air Slash! Ditto, transform into Dracovish and use Rock Blast!" Gengwu shouted loudly.

"I'll leave this place to me, Old Wang. You and the other staff wait outside." Gengwu said to Old Wang and the other employees.

Once the Beedrill agitated, they would launch indiscriminate attacks. It was very likely that Old Wang and the others would be affected. It was better to let Old Wang and the others evacuate early.

Gengwu took out a Thunderstorm Gun from his bracelet. It contained something called Thunderstorm Bullets. This was a weapon Gengwu had secretly manufactured in Detonating Industries' lab.

When Thunderstorm Bullets hit a spirit, they could unleash a current equivalent to hundreds of thousands of volts, which was particularly effective against small spirits like Beedrill.

This Thunderstorm Gun was similar to a sniper rifle. Gengwu also made a Thunderstorm Pistol for self-defense.

When rescue from spirits was not timely, it could be used as a defensive measure.

The giant salamander's attack made the entire Beedrill swarm explode like a boiling pot. Countless Beedrill crawled out of the orchard. This number was not just what they had seen on the surface; there were at least two to three hundred, a truly large Beedrill swarm.

"This is crazy. I should have brought more spirits. I didn't expect there to be so many Beedrill." Gengwu was the first to fire a Thunderstorm Bullet directly at a Beedrill flying towards him.

The Thunderstorm Bullet emitted an extremely strong current of hundreds of thousands of volts. Golden snakes danced, and many Beedrill let out sizzling sounds.

The Beedrill fell like dumplings, their entire bodies charred black on the ground. The air was filled with the smell of burnt protein.

"This Thunderstorm Gun is more powerful than I imagined!" Gengwu watched the Beedrill lifting their butts, and countless poisonous needles were fired out.

Gengwu immediately crouched down. Ditto transformed into Dracovish.

Only countless buzzing sounds could be heard.

The Beedrill's poisonous needles were intercepted by Ditto and fell to the ground.

"Go, 'Poké Balls'." Gengwu knew that Beedrill couldn't be driven away, so he could only use Poké Balls to capture the immobile Beedrill.

The giant salamander was like a dancer doing a magnificent high-altitude jump. The Beedrill couldn't even touch the corners of the giant salamander's clothes.

Instead, they were blown apart by the giant salamander's storm, falling down with heavy losses.

Just then, Gengwu heard an urgent sound. The Beedrill, upon hearing the sound, surprisingly became organized.

"That's strange, why are these Beedrill so obedient?" Gengwu frowned. He also didn't understand what was going on.

Gengwu fired a Thunderstorm Bullet at the Beedrill, but the Beedrill all dodged it.

Earlier, these Beedrill were still foolishly piled together. A single Thunderstorm Bullet from Gengwu would have hit a whole group.

Now the Beedrill had become intelligent. Once the giant salamander or Ditto launched an attack, they would automatically disperse, then collectively use guided poisonous needles and absolute defense, intending to consume the giant salamander and Ditto's stamina.

Gengwu heard that urgent sound resonating in his mind. To solve this trick, which was quite simple, he only needed to interfere with sound.

"Ditto, transform into Exploud, then use Hyper Voice!" Gengwu said to Ditto.

Ditto could transform into any Pokémon it had seen. The number of transformations also depended on its own aptitude.

The worse Ditto's aptitude, the fewer transformations it could make. This Ditto of Gengwu's could transform into five Pokémon.

So Gengwu had Ditto record the transformations of Giant Salamander, Sandshrew, Exploud, Aegislash, and Dracovish.
