Li Junyue asked, "Director Liu, is Wang available? I'd like to invite him as a guide."
"Unfortunately, Captain Li, Wang has already been hired by other Beastmasters," Director Liu replied.
"What about Zhao?"
"The same, also hired."
"Then..."
After inquiring with several locals, Li Junyue learned that they had all been hired, and said helplessly, "Could you please help us find a guide, Director? Preferably someone good at mushroom hunting."
Director Liu's response was disappointing: "Captain Li, all the guides have been hired recently."
He paused before offering a reasonable explanation, "You know, young people nowadays are keen on mountain climbing, plus Beastmasters enter the mountains every day, our village simply doesn't have enough guides."
Hearing this, Li Junyue looked helpless. He turned to Chen Yuan and the others, sighed, and said, "Looks like we'll have to rely on ourselves."
