Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The truck that "escorted" the big monster bird was handed over by the staff of the Hunter's Guild outside the city of Minergard, and they will deal with the big monster bird according to the situation.

Maybe it was directly dismantling the materials, maybe it was sent to the arena in the training camp for the convenience of young hunters for actual combat training, or maybe it was sent back to a certain mountain to balance the local ecology.

Anyway, no matter what the situation is, the Hunter Guild will provide him with additional rewards and material rewards. All in all, it is more cost-effective than direct hunting.

It's just that the process of capturing, transporting, and handing over procedures is more troublesome, so hunters are not willing to spend these efforts every time.

When Gordon returned to the Hunter's Gathering House, it was already dark.

The tavern area at this time is the busiest time of the day, after all, alcoholics like to drink after dark.

A tall and thin male hunter noticed that it was Gordon who pushed the door to enter the assembly hall, and immediately shouted a few times to make the surrounding guys quiet.

Then, he raised his glass to Gordon, made a toast gesture, and tilted his head to wait for the latter's reaction.

Everyone knows that Gordon took a three-star emergency mission and went to hunt a big monster bird alone, so this glass, will it be a celebration wine? Or a drink to soothe your sorrows?

"Then do you still need to ask?" Gordon grinned and made a gesture of throwing his neck back to drink, "It's our turn to buy everyone a drink!"

Immediately, there were cheers, slapping tables, and whistles one after another, which almost lifted the ceiling of the assembly hall.

"Wow~! Long live!"

"An eighteen-year-old three-star hunter, brother Gordon is awesome!"

"Drink!"

"Full and full!"

Finding an empty seat at random, Gordon sat down with a pork chop.

"Have a good drink tonight!"

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts"

Early the next morning, Gordon got up from the bed with his head in his arms.

He did drink quite a bit last night. For a celebration, of course he had to drink to his heart's content, but if he got drunk with ale, the next day's hangover headache would be just as enjoyable.

Even the pork chops are the same. The little guy drank several glasses of Mutian Polygonum liqueur specially provided by hunting cats, and now he is still curled up and rolling in his kitten's bed, and he probably won't get up before noon.

After running into the bathroom, taking a cold shower, and pouring water into the tap, Gordon finally felt better.

After leaving a note for the bedridden pork chop, Gordon left the hut alone and went to the lobby on the first floor.

"Huha~"

The kanban lady on duty at the counter this morning is Tiji, and yawning seems to have become her unique way of greeting each other.

"Ah~, isn't this the new three-star hunter who didn't even hand in the task after coming back last night, just ran to drink until he vomited?" Ti Ji teased with a smile while resting her chin.

Gordon smiled wryly and handed over his hunter notes, "Didn't we come here early in the morning to make up for it?"

"How, are you injured?" Tiki took Gordon's notes, chatting casually with the latter while going through the task settlement procedures.

"There were some twists and turns at the beginning, but then it was very stable!" Gordon gave a thumbs up and asked again: "By the way, is the chairman in the assembly hall today?"

"Yes, I won't delay your official promotion~!"

The promotion of hunter level is not a casual thing, and the only person who can imprint the star mark on the cover of the hunter's notebook is the person in charge of the hunter's assembly hall in each place.

After completing the task settlement procedures and handing over the reward to Gordon, Tiji left the counter and took Gordon to find the president lady.

Gordon is a normal promotion. He has accumulated a sufficient number of two-star missions and successfully completed three-star emergency missions. Naturally, there will be no problems in the promotion process.

When they left Madam President's office, the two-and-a-half stars on the cover of Gordon Hunter's notebook finally turned into three serious stars.

From now on, he is a real 3-star hunter!

As a monster hunter, Gordon's economic income level can be regarded as a pretty good group in the entire city of Minergard.

But anyone who knows him well knows that this is a guy who doesn't enjoy life.

In addition to basic expenses such as rent and food on weekdays, I occasionally bring pork chops to eat a big meal, and I don’t even buy a new set of clothes.

This kind of spending habit, which can't be called an ascetic monk, but definitely can be called a "diligent and thrifty housekeeping", helped him save a lot of money.

According to locals like Ted Ushula, the groundhog has saved up enough money to buy a tiny home outside the city center.

Of course Gordon has no intention of saving to buy a house, at least not yet.

He's just not interested in those extravagant lives. If it's really necessary expenses, he thinks he's still very generous.

For example, now, he paid the owner of the workshop more than 20,000 gold in one go, which is almost the money of a toilet!

"Here, your new armor is right there, go and have a look." The boss of the Dragon Man Workshop folded his arms, raised his chin and pointed at the two equipment racks, one large and one small, by the wall, his tone seemed casual, But with a taste of self-satisfaction.

They were two sets of bright orange-red equipment, one was for hunters, and the smaller one was obviously for hunting cats.

"Ooooh! My big monster bird suit!"

"Meow!"

Gordon and the pork chop jumped up together, touching and looking at their new armor.

As the name suggests, this set of equipment uses a large number of carapaces, scales and wing membranes of large monster birds as the main materials, and a small amount of supplementary materials such as keels and velociraptor skins as linings, which provide hunters with good defensive capabilities. Also very light.

In terms of styling, it gives people an aggressive look. The wrists, the end of the skirt armor, and the shoulders are full of orange-red spikes, which seem to be stabbed even if they are lightly touched.

"According to your request, I have used a large amount of armor jade to strengthen it to the limit. As for the higher-level upper armor jade, solid armor jade and so on, there is no need for it, and you don't have it in your hand.

When you have a chance to get a lot of those things, it's time to switch to higher-level armor. "The boss of the workshop threw a piece of chewing tobacco into his mouth and hummed.

The so-called armored jade is a special kind of non-metallic minerals. In addition to carrying the mine pickaxe to try your luck, when you successfully complete the task, the hunter guild will reward you a little bit, which is quite valuable.

This kind of ore cannot be directly used to build equipment, its only function is to "strengthen".

After special treatment by craftsmen, it can be used to fill the gaps inside the armor material, thereby improving the strength of the armor.

Gordon used to own three sets of armor, hunter set, blue velociraptor set, and refined ore set.

Since these armors are of low level, it is not worth spending armor jade to strengthen them, so the armor jade in Gordon's hand has been saved, just reserved for the monster bird suit!

"Oh, how much can the defense be improved in this way?" Gordon asked with bright eyes.

"Thirty to forty percent."

"Then, if we use more advanced upper armor jade, firm armor jade, pointed armor jade and even heavy armor jade, what can it be strengthened?" Gordon asked curiously.

The owner of the workshop returned a foolish look, "The big monster bird suit doesn't need the latter two, if you use the armor jade on the feet and the hard armor jade that can only be obtained by high-ranking hunters, the defensive performance can probably be doubled. "

"Ooh!"

"Oh, it's big! That's enough for you to change a set of high-level armor, okay?"
