How to become a full-time hunter

What is the purpose of life?

If young Leorio were asked to answer this question, he would definitely say: People live to be happy!

People come to this world to be happy. If you can't even be happy, it would be a sad thing.

So, Leorio is always happy.

Leorio rarely goes to school because studying makes him unhappy. Influenced by the movies and TV series in his childhood, Leorio dreams of becoming a "big brother" who pays attention to loyalty!

He has never heard of any "big brother" who will go to class on time. A big brother who doesn't skip classes is not a good big brother!

Compared with his peers, Leorio looks tall and mature.

There is another important reason why Leorio hates school: he thinks his peers are too childish, and he can't play with children at all.

Because he skipped classes all year round, Leorio met a group of friends outside of school, and the one he has the best relationship with is Piedo.

Piedo is the same age as Leorio. The two are neighbors and have played together since childhood. But Piedo's health was not very good. He was a little thin and had been absent from school for many years due to illness. Later, he simply dropped out of school.

But Piedo was very optimistic. No matter how Leorio asked about his condition, Piedo would just smile foolishly and refused to say more. Over time, Leorio didn't take it seriously.

After Piedo dropped out of school, he entered society early and often took Leorio to play everywhere.

Most of the time, Piedo paid the bill. Leorio felt bad and had proposed to treat him, but Piedo refused every time.

"Haha, wait until you graduate. You haven't graduated yet, how can you have money?"

When Piedo spoke, he would always push his sunglasses.

Sunglasses are Piedo's most precious thing, comparable to his second life.

When faced with others' offenses, Piedo would accept them with a smile, but if others touched his sunglasses, Piedo would jump up and fight with them!

Leorio smiled and joked, "Do you like to act mature?"

Unlike Piero, Leorio rarely wears sunglasses. He already looks mature, and if he wears sunglasses, he will completely become an adult.

Piero smiled and replied: "I can't live without sunglasses, they are my weapon!"

"Have you watched the latest issue of 'Dragon Quest'? Before the heroes set out, they will choose their equipment, and sunglasses are my secret equipment!"

Leorio scratched his head and sighed: "Well... I'm happy."

Piero chuckled and said: "You don't understand yet, the society outside is very stressful. In the adult world, I can only comfort myself a little through sunglasses."

As he said, Piero pushed his sunglasses again, "Without sunglasses, I'm like a sheep falling into a pack of wolves... But with sunglasses, I feel like I have integrated into the adult world."

"Of course, I know that sunglasses don't have such great magic... It's just my psychological comfort."

"Papa!"

Leorio patted Piero's shoulder heavily, interrupting his sadness.

"Hey, don't worry, wait for me for another year! Then I will go with you!"

Leorio said carelessly: "I don't believe that we can't make a name for ourselves! When the time comes, you will be responsible for counting the money, and I will be responsible for making money. We will share the profits equally!"

"Puff!"

Piedo laughed out loud.

"What do you mean?"

Leorio blushed slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you look down on me as your big brother?! I tell you, I will do what I say, so just wait with peace of mind!"

"Yes, big brother, I will wait for your good news." Piedo pushed his sunglasses and held back his laughter.

——————

If nothing unexpected happens, Leorio will drop out of school early and start to venture into society.

The change happened in the summer vacation of that year...

The second-hand video player in Leorio's home was broken, and he couldn't lie in bed to watch DVDs during the vacation. With the development of society, this kind of video player connected to the TV has become quite popular.

As the "big brother", how can Leorio go to buy a machine alone? How embarrassing.

So Leorio asked Piedo to go shopping for a player together.

The moment the two of them stepped into the hypermarket, Leorio keenly felt that the atmosphere of the bustling hypermarket had changed!

Although it was still crowded, Leorio saw that some of the clerks had narrowed their eyes and rolled up their sleeves, and seemed to be ready for a tough battle.

"I know this place well, let me handle it."

Piedo pushed his sunglasses and took the initiative to walk in front of Leorio.

In a trance, Leorio seemed to see the scene of Piedo drawing his sword and fighting countless dragons alone!

Leorio rubbed his eyes, and the illusion disappeared.

Piedo took Leorio to turn left and right and came to a small shop. The sign of the store was covered with paint, and only the words "XX Repair Shop" could be vaguely seen.

Piedo walked forward and shouted: "Old man, come out, do business!"

Seeing Piedo standing in front of this shop, the atmosphere in the hypermarket returned to normal silently.

Leorio looked around and found that the shop assistants who rolled up their sleeves were relieved. They smiled professionally again and slowly lowered their sleeves. It was completely different from the murderous look they had just a few seconds ago.

Leorio quietly pulled Piedo's sleeve and whispered, "I don't feel right."

Piedo pushed his sunglasses and whispered, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

After a while, a one-legged old man came out. The old man was wearing work clothes stained with various oils, and obvious patches could be seen on the places that were not stained with oil.

Seeing that it was Piedo standing outside, the old man turned around and walked away, muttering in a low voice: "I don't want to do this business anymore..."

"Hey, old man! You can't do this. If you don't do this order, I will buy things from you every day in the future!" Piedo said quickly.

"This..."

The old man suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at Piedo, and said unhappily: "Huh? What to buy?"

The old man's voice was full of energy, and his voice was actually louder than that of ordinary young people.

"Pick a video player for this brother." Piedo pointed at Leorio, "Old man, let me introduce you, this is my eldest brother!"

The old man looked at Leorio, lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "What type do you want?"

Before Leorio could speak, Piedo answered first: "Good quality, durable! It doesn't need to be too precise, the main thing is to be durable!"

Leorio nodded, which met his requirements.

The old man muttered dissatisfiedly: "I didn't ask you..."

However, he still pointed to a player responsibly and said in a low voice: "Xuanwu IV model, 90% new, ultra-thin, easy to carry, can play all popular video tapes on the market..."

As he said, the old man showed an indescribable wretched smile, "Its previous owner left behind a few classic images, you know? Buy it, and get a few DVDs for free!"

Leorio was moved by the words, and he felt a little excited just by hearing the old man's description. When he was about to ask about the price, Piedo stretched out his hand to stop him.
