Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 379 - 189 This world is full of malice!_1

"Su Yan, I feel like there’s something not quite right about this village."

As they watched several women hurriedly leave with tense expressions, Sister Zhou whispered.

Su Yan nodded in agreement and said, "To be completely honest, you’re right."

Just then, the middle-aged man holding a hatchet spoke with an unfriendly tone, "Hey, what are you two doing in our village!"

As he spoke, he purposefully shifted the hatchet in his hand, as if he was either scared or threatening.

However, in Su Yan’s eyes, it seemed more like a threat. That’s because he detected a hint of ferocity in the man’s eyes, which didn’t seem characteristic of a mere woodcutter. The man felt more like a Monster Hunter with a hatchet. The fearful reaction of the women upon seeing him also somewhat confirmed this perception.

Thinking this, Su Yan sized up the middle-aged man and peeked at his biological information panel.

[Name]: Chen Ergou

[Race]: Human

[Level]: Ordinary

[Skill]: None

Chen Ergou? That’s quite a name.

Su Yan marveled inwardly, finding the woodcutter’s name quite distinctive.

He thought, this must be a part of the village’s culture. After all, many of the older generation liked to give their children earthy names, such as Ergou and the like. It’s said that children with such names tend to have tougher constitutions and are less likely to die young.

As his thoughts moved on from the middle-aged man’s name, Su Yan’s gaze fell on the ’Level’ attribute beneath it.

It was Ordinary Level. This fierce-looking middle-aged man was just a lowest-level Ordinary Creature, with no chance of being a Monster Hunter. He must really just be a woodcutter. But then again, to have such fierce eyes from chopping wood, did this uncle have a grudge against trees in his past life?

Su Yan scoffed inwardly.

Meanwhile, seeing that Su Yan was not only ignoring his question but also openly scrutinizing him, the middle-aged man grew visibly irritated.

He gestured menacingly with his hatchet and said, "Are you two mute? Didn’t you hear me asking you? What exactly are you here for?"

Now he was openly threatening them.

In response to the middle-aged man’s aggressive reaction, Su Yan felt even more puzzled. He then smiled innocently and said, "Uncle, calm down. We’re official Hunters here to investigate incidents involving Demons and Monsters."

To calm the man before him, Su Yan specifically added the word ’official’ before ’Hunter,’ thinking it would sound more reassuring. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

To his surprise, not only did the man’s expression not soften upon hearing this, but his resistance seemed to increase.

However, the resistance was evident only in his eyes and not very apparent on his face.

The man then said discontentedly, "It’s you Hunters again, coming to the village every now and then to talk about investigations. Every time, you achieve nothing and only create a mess. Enough is enough."

Upon witnessing the middle-aged man’s attitude, Su Yan’s puzzlement deepened.

Normally, an ordinary person seeing a Monster Hunter might not grovel, but they would at least show some respect. But this middle-aged man showed no trace of awe, and even seemed very impatient. Had he never suffered the harsh blows of society?

Mulling this over, Su Yan bent down, picked up a rock from the ground, and crushed it with a CRACK! Then, with a friendly expression, he said, "Uncle, I’m not like those other Hunters. I’m the more professional one."

Seeing Su Yan effortlessly and cheerfully crush such a large stone, the middle-aged man suddenly became timid.

Especially upon seeing the half-smile on Su Yan’s face, he felt that if his attitude got any worse, his own head might be crushed next.

Thoroughly intimidated by this thought, the middle-aged man quickly said, "So you’re more professional Hunters, that’s great! Please, come to my house and have a seat. I’m the village chief here, and I will fully cooperate with you."

Su Yan: "..."

Sister Zhou: "..."

Seeing the middle-aged man’s drastic change in attitude, both were somewhat taken aback.

Indeed!

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong truly is a fundamental human trait.

Still, they hadn’t expected this middle-aged man to be the village chief. No wonder he acted so arrogantly; he was probably a local tyrant in the village.

Soon, under the middle-aged man’s guidance, they arrived at a comparatively large mud house and stopped.

"This is my home," the middle-aged man announced, unloading the firewood he had been carrying on his back. He placed it by the door and then led Su Yan and Sister Zhou inside.

Quite different from the sweltering path outside, the inside of the mud house felt very airy and cool.

Even without a fan or air conditioner, it seemed like a good place to endure the hot summer days.

Hosted by the middle-aged man, Su Yan and Sister Zhou casually found wooden chairs to sit on and then started to look around the house.

There weren’t many pieces of furniture in the entire house—just chairs and a table, along with some very worn-looking household appliances.

At first glance, it didn’t look like a modern living environment, more like a dwelling from the early last century. Overall, the living conditions appeared somewhat impoverished, or one might even say basic.

"Zhang Ruoshan, we have guests! Come out and make some tea!"
