Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Use a small brush to dip in soap, scrub carefully, and finally rinse off the moss, oil and dust stubbornly attached to the gaps with clean water.

After nearly half an hour of repeated scrubbing, this exotic gold coin with a history of at least hundreds of years finally regained its original brilliance.

Some kind of dragon pattern abstractly depicted on the face of the coin is exquisite and clear, the overall color is copper yellow, shiny, very pleasing, even the pork chop that has been making bombs can't help but come over.

"So beautiful meow! It looks like gold meow!"

Wipe off the water on the gold coins with a towel, Gordon tossed it twice, and said: "Gold is softer and heavier than this one, but after washing it is indeed newer than I thought, the ancient people's smelting technology Really great."

As he spoke, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find a strong animal tendon rope, passed through the small hole in the gold coin that should have been drilled by the Qimian tribe with crude tools, and hung it around his neck.

The effect on the psychological level was extremely strong, and Gordon felt that his bad luck was dispelled in an instant.

Intellectually, he knew that this was an illusion, but emotionally, he firmly believed that if he was asked to touch the corpse of the Qimian tribe now, he would definitely not find any half-eaten dried mushrooms.

At least it has to be a complete flower, right?

In this way, with the infinite expectation of a good future, Gordon fell asleep.

There was everything in the dream, but it was just a dream after all. When the morning came and Gordon grabbed his hair and sat up from the bed, the good memories of the dream last night were almost gone.

There is nothing to be sorry about.

Compared with the illusory dream, today is the day when he participated in a three-star mission for the first time!

Isn't the reason why he left his hometown to challenge new monsters and make himself stronger?

He picked up the pork chop that was still rolling in his den, washed it quickly, and changed his armor. It wasn't until he saw the empty weapon rack that Gordon remembered that his explosive knife was still under repair.

It was also in the afternoon to gather and set off, and the anticipation was stuck in the throat.

In order to get the weapon as soon as possible, Gordon squatted in the workshop and spent the whole boring morning. The owner of the workshop thought he was in the way, so he sped it up a little, which allowed him to get the repaired weapon before lunch. Explosive Knife.

It has to be said that the craftsmanship of the workshop owner is absolutely top-notch to be recognized by countless hunters in a big city like Minergard.

The deformed hook blade seems to have been disassembled and re-forged, and there is no trace of bending.

The extra 300 gold maintenance fee is also worth it. The mechanism inside the blade has been re-oiled, the blade ejection has become smoother, and the metal friction sound has been reduced a lot.

The blood stains hidden in the small crevices of the blade were cleaned up, the blade was re-polished, and a thick layer of knife oil was applied. The whole knife looked cold and shiny, and it was no different from the new one.

Before leaving, the workshop owner who was about to take a break suddenly stopped Gordon.

This old dragon man who seemed to have a cold personality but was actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside folded his arms and asked, "Boy, do you know the way to strengthen the Explosive Knife?"

Gordon was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but he still replied truthfully: "It is said that it can be strengthened into 'Explosive Knife Kai', it seems that it needs swallowstone and a high-grade ore called Phylogenite, right?"

The old dragon man threw a piece of tobacco leaf into his mouth, chewed it, and said vaguely: "That's right, I heard that girl Fanti gave you half a star? She is very optimistic about you, as long as you make good use of this opportunity, participate more After a few three-star missions, your strength will improve quickly, and it won't be too long before you are truly promoted to a three-star hunter.

At that time, although the Explosive Knife is not outdated, it is still a bit, um, not good enough. I suggest you consider weapon enhancement as soon as possible.

Explosive Knife Gai is a good weapon, its weight will increase a little compared to the Explosive Knife, but the sharpness and power are not small, and it is stable for hunting dragons. "

Hearing the workshop owner's words, Gordon was a little excited. His strength has improved a lot this year, and the weight gain of the Explosive Knife Kai is nothing to him at all.

The most important thing was the sentence "it can be used to hunt flying dragons". If it wasn't for the fact that the material grade of Phylogenet Stone exceeded his purchase limit for a two-star hunter, he would be ready to place an order immediately.

"Actually, besides 'Change', the Explosive Knife has another branch, did you know?"

Hearing the workshop owner's words, Gordon was taken aback again, and then shook his head.

He really didn't know this.

"There is a kind of flying dragon named 'Strange Dragon'. Using its material, the Explosive Knife can be strengthened into an 'Electric Dragon Chainsaw', which is a great sword with lightning attributes."

Gordon's eyes lit up when he heard the words, so he was so close to the attribute weapon?

The well-aged workshop owner immediately saw through Gordon's thoughts, he snorted coldly, and said, "I knew it, you little bastards lost their souls when they heard about 'attribute weapons'.

Boy, remember, don't strengthen the Explosive Knife into a Electric Dragon Chainsaw, it won't do you any good. "

"ah?"

"Aside from attributes, the attack power of Electric Dragon Chainsaw is at least 20% lower than that of Explosive Knife Kai, and the taste of chopping can only be said to be average. As for the so-called attribute attack, no one told you that the big sword is not suitable for walking. Is it the number of attribute attacks?"

Gordon blinked. Senior Amos had said similar things before—the attack frequency of the big sword is slow, and compared with the double swords, the former has no advantage in attribute attacks.

"Strange dragons are at the bottom of the flying dragon species. Sometimes you can see them in three-star missions. Don't get some materials, just foolishly turn the explosive knife into an electric dragon chainsaw , it will be too late to regret.”

Gordon nodded quickly.

Listen to people's persuasion, eat enough food, attribute weapons and so on, let's wait for a while.

"Before being promoted to the top position, the only one worth using among the attribute swords is the male fire dragon derivative. Hey, why am I telling you this?"

Seeing Gordon's well-behaved behavior, the boss of the workshop also became nagging, "Anyway, when you reach the three-star hunter stage, you should go to Latio Volcano honestly, get some pyroxene, and change the explosive knife come out.

For this weapon, it is not a loss to go to the volcano, understand? "

Gordon nodded seriously again.

Satisfied with the desire to preach, the old dragon patted Gordon's thick arm, and smiled to indicate that he could get out of here.

After thanking him respectfully, Gordon left with the Explosive Knife on his back. On the way back to the meeting place, he kept thinking.

The self who came out to travel was not like Hariyata, who had a master by her side to guide her from going astray.

Martial skills can be honed hard, hunting experience can be accumulated by oneself, but in terms of the choice of armor and weapons, if you don't know, you don't know.

Just like the electric dragon chainsaw that the workshop owner said.

Stepping into this pit not only wastes money and materials, but also a lot of time to re-collect materials.

Let's find a way to build a good relationship with the workshop boss. In terms of familiarity with armor and weapons, no one in Minagarde City can match this old man.

As long as he is willing to mention a few words like today, he can avoid countless detours.

.

ps. Although most readers may not care, here is an extra sentence.

Why the protagonist has to go to Latio Volcano (lava canyon) thousands of kilometers away to mine, instead of the closer old volcano, because the old volcano is too close to the ruins of Shulet City. Considering the particularity of the ancient city, the old volcano Let's seal this map for now.
