Superhunt-Chapter 35: "No wonder Fox can eat so much"

The discussion in Jonathan's post was intense; occasionally, some people would ask what happened in French or Japanese.

Jonathan looked and then exited the thread to return to the forum homepage. As expected, a few new posts analyze the person's identity in the post.

"Detailed analysis of whether poster 331 in the adjacent informative thread and Dispossessor 331 are the same people."

OP: As we all know, once you enter the forum, your nickname is fixed. First, you fill in a nickname, and then the order in which you enter the forum is your player number. The order is not transparent, meaning there is some randomness to the player number assignment.

If the informative poster next door is Dispossessor 331, how did he know in advance to set his own nickname to 331? So, I think the probability that the informative poster next door and Dispossessor 331 are the same person is minimal but not impossible... after all, various coincidences exist in this world.

1F: What nonsense are you talking about?

3F: What you're saying is essentially meaningless... You can't confirm that he is Dispossessor 331, nor can you completely deny it.

4F (OP): Well, what can I do? Unless the 331 poster comes forward to admit or deny it, we can't rule out the suspicion.

5F replying to 4F (OP): What difference would it make if he admitted or denied it? We still couldn't confirm if he's telling the truth; it's a deadlock.

6F: I think the informative poster next door sharing such important information is not a bad person. I personally think they (not sure if it's a man or woman, so I'll use "they") have nothing to do with the Dispossessor. Their lack of reply might just be to avoid revealing their identity.

7F: I also tend to think that the informative poster next door is not Dispossessor... unless Dispossessor 331 has a performative personality that likes to attract attention. He might enjoy watching us guessing and being unable to figure out who he was.

"Deep Analysis of the Identity of the Informative Poster 331 Next Door."

First post: One thing is clear - ordinary people cannot access information about Xenobiotics creatures. The informative poster next door is definitely not an ordinary person. So, I boldly speculate that the informative poster's identity in the Second World is at least somewhat related to the three parties above.

Is the informative poster a government official, a member of a corporation, or an Xenobiotics creature researcher?

We can boldly speculate. 𝙛𝙧𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝓶

1F: The scope is too broad; we can't figure it out.

2F: Is it possible that the informative poster next door is an awakened person? Or, as others have speculated, is he Dispossessor 331 himself?

3F: I think it's best not to post this kind of identity-digging thread. If the informative poster next door thinks that your exploration of his identity threatens him, he probably won't post any more informative content in the future. Certainly, he is not ordinary and knows more than we do. I feel that he is taking a risk by sharing this information at this critical moment, and it's remarkable. I don't want his identity to be exposed; maybe he can teach us more and provide us with more information in the future. If his identity is exposed, will he continue to share information with us?

4F replying to 3F: I agree.

5F replying to 3F: I think so too.

6F: The third floor is overly worried. I believe that the informative poster next door must have considered everything carefully before posting the information. He is not afraid of his identity being exposed, and our search scope is too broad. We don't know which city he is in or what force he belongs to, and we know nothing. The possibility of the informative poster's identity being exposed is virtually zero.

7F: I'm wondering if the informative poster next door decided to share the information because they saw the cult murder case in California and the regional mission. The timing is coincidental.

8F: The speculation from the floor above is very likely.

9F replying to 7F: Are you suggesting that the informative poster next door might be from California?

10F replying to 9F: No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I think the informative poster might have shared the information because he didn't want to see California players get killed. From his information, we can see that the Xenobiotics creature possesses extraordinary abilities, definitely much stronger than ordinary people.

11F: Today is the first day of the return and the most critical time. I think we don't need to overthink the intention of the informative poster next door. Perhaps he decided to share the information with us after careful consideration, and it has nothing to do with California.

12F: In any case, the informative post next door is definitely beneficial for all players. He has done a great thing. If California players accepted missions without knowing what a cult or Xenobiotics creature is, wouldn't there be deaths? Knowing what Xenobiotics creatures are, they will consider carefully before accepting missions.

13F: I believe that impulsive players are a minority, and I also believe that the informative poster next door shares the information with good intentions. His information is useful for all players.

After reading through several passionately discussed threads, Jonathan was confident that his informative post had achieved the desired effect.

Some people doubted, supported, questioned, and praised him.

The essence of humanity is to admire strength. He didn't have to do much, just a little insignificant thing to guide the players.

Jonathan was now truly a hunter, thinking like a hunter. He had his eyes on prey and didn't want others to interfere with it. So, he used some means to exclude other hunters from the hunting operation. But hunters are resourceful, and Jonathan couldn't control their actions or break their legs to immobilize them, so he threw out some information as a deterrent.

The effect was satisfactory. Except for those who wanted to die or were not afraid of death, other players retreated, realizing that the water was too deep and that stepping in would lead to drowning.

Besides deterrence, Jonathan's release of this information also had other considerations, and he wouldn't act blindly. He made sure that such a choice wouldn't threaten him before taking this step.

Jonathan looked at the time, and it was Thursday. He had to go to his part-time job on Friday and had the weekend off.

Hunting prey in two days was a tight schedule and challenging, but Jonathan was willing to take on the challenge. He plugged in his phone to charge, closed the curtains, and tried activating the super ability "Shadow Travel" he had taken from Sean for the first time.

Invisible shadows enveloped his body, turning his figure into an invisible black mist. Jonathan disregarded spatial distance and instantly moved from the living room to the kitchen beside the refrigerator.

"The maximum distance is three meters? It seems like it could be increased a little more..." After the pleasant surprise, Jonathan tried to move again, this time attempting to "phase through" the wall.

Then, his misty body ignored the barrier and passed through the solid wall into the bedroom. On the third attempt, Jonathan picked up a thick rolling pin to see if he could bring a weapon along. However, this attempt failed; his body moved, but the rolling pin fell to the ground as it passed through his misty body during the ability's activation.

Jonathan pondered, "Is the influencing factor weight or volume? I can take the clothes I'm wearing with me..."

He thought about it and replaced the rolling pin with a kitchen knife. This time, the shadow travel was successful; the knife turned into mist along with his body, crossing the space to a shadowy area. It seemed that the influencing factor was volume, and only objects with a smaller volume could be taken away by the shadow travel.

The shadow travel ability taken from Sean was only an E-level ability. If its level could be increased, the moving range would likely be higher, and the object volume carried would be larger. Even so, Shadow Travel was already a rare life-saving technique.

Jonathan practiced shadow travel for two full hours, and his coordinates went from imprecise to precise. The specific volume of the objects he could carry was determined after several attempts, and he could pass through most objects when his body was misty, so he didn't need to worry about getting stabbed by a knife.

Practicing super abilities seemed to excessively consume energy and make one hungry faster. Two hours later, Jonathan failed to activate his ability in extreme hunger. His body flickered in place but didn't travel.

"No wonder Fox can eat so much." Jonathan felt emotional as he cooked two servings of noodles and fried two eggs for himself.

He had to eat well and be full to continue practicing. Hunters needed to sharpen their skills to be accurate and swift when taking down their prey.
