Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

  Chapter 35 Unexpected Encounter

  When I came to the counter where the business was handled, there were two kanban girls on duty. In addition to Tiji in the green uniform, there was also a strange kanban girl in a goose yellow maid outfit.

  Gordon naturally moved towards the relatively more familiar former.

   "Good morning, Tij."

   "Hua~"

  Tiki covered her small mouth and yawned before she said lazily, "Good morning, Gordon~."

  The strange kanban lady on the side also looked over and greeted Gordon friendly.

   After a brief introduction, Gordon knew that the lady on the signboard, who seemed very gentle, was named March, and she seemed to be Miss Tiggy's senior.

"What's the matter, Gordon, you don't have to come to choose the commission early in the morning, right?" Tikki held her chin, looking weak, until Madge glared at her, and then slowly stood up straight body.

   "Yes, I want to choose a mission and exercise my muscles and bones. Before I came to Minagarde, I was seriously injured. I was lying in bed for more than a month, and now I feel that my joints are almost rusted to death."

   "Oh? What kind of monster did you encounter, and you suffered such a serious injury?"

  Although Tiki always gives people a lazy feeling, she is actually a very lively and talkative girl in essence.

  Gordon didn't hide it either, and said with his mouth curled up like a toothache: "Xiong Charmander, he was really beaten up. If it wasn't for the pig chop to save his life, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."

   "Uh, then you really have a bad back." Tiki looked at Gordon with pity in his eyes.

  She knew Gordon's hunter level. It was impossible for a two-star hunter to accept the task of hunting a male fire dragon, so it could only be an accidental encounter.

Bad guy

   After chatting a few words, Ti Ji smashed a huge "book" on the counter table.

   After flipping through two pages, Gordon realized that every page on it was actually an entrustment receipt!

  Among them, there are 30 to 40 two-star missions, and more than a hundred one-star missions. Just the ones in front of you have been the number of missions in Keket Village for several years.

   As expected of a meeting place in a big city?

  Gordon has no interest in doing one-star collection missions, so he chooses them from two-star missions.

  As for the optional three-star mission "under special conditions", he has no plans to touch it for the time being.

   Regarding his own strength, Gordon still has a very clear understanding of himself-the regular two-star hunter level may be a little higher, but it is definitely not at the level of a three-star hunter.

  Forcibly participating in the three-star mission now is not only irresponsible to myself, but also irresponsible to my teammates.

  However, these two-star missions alone have already dazzled him.

   After all, he had just been promoted to a two-star hunter not long ago. Except for the urgent mission of the Blue Velociraptor King, the only two-star mission he had actually accepted was stealing the fire dragon egg.

   Finally failed.

   He has no way of judging which tasks are highly rewarding and which tasks are of appropriate difficulty.

   Fortunately, Oh Shula taught him a trick at the dinner table yesterday.

   "Ahem."

   Putting aside the guilt in his heart, Gordon cleared his throat, bent down and hugged the pork chop following him to the counter, rubbed the latter's little hairy head, and said with a serious face:

   "Miss Tiggy, if you can help me choose a suitable two-star mission, I will lend you the pork chop for ten minutes."

  Pork chop: "Meow meow??"

   Staring at the shiny milky white and golden fur of the pork chop, Ti Ji's eyes began to shine, and her lazy tone became urgent: "It's a deal, it's a deal!"

  March: "."

  I feel that the reliability of all the signboard girls in the Minergard Hunter's Gathering Hall has been lowered by you alone.

   Didn't notice the helpless look in the senior's eyes, Ti Ji flipped through the task slips "swish swish", and after just a few seconds, she pulled out one of them and handed it to Gordon.

  —

   Crusade mission: plunder everywhere! Bandits of the Qimian Clan! (★★)

  Mission content: Defeat 20 strange faces

  Remuneration: 4300z

  Mission Location: Metabe Forest

  Limited time: 10 days

The summer festival of the Qimian tribe is about to start again. These annoying guys started to search for food and livestock as sacrifices, even caravans passing by, and even robbed villages. Hurry up and teach these hateful people a lesson. guy!

  —

   "How about it, isn't it good?" Tiji looked proud.

  Gordon has perused the assignment and it's really great.

  The so-called Qimian tribe is a kind of orc monsters smaller than Ailu. Compared with the gentle and kind-hearted Ailu, these guys are much more violent and violent, and often attack humans actively.

   It is not difficult to defeat 20 odd-faced tribes. After all, there is no need to fight large monsters, but it is more time-consuming. If there are not too many, it should be counted as a one-star mission.

   Indeed, as a two-star mission, it lacks some challenges, but for Gordon, whose bones have been loosened after lying down for more than a month, it can be said to be perfect.

  The most important thing is that the reward is quite generous. You must know that Gordon’s urgent mission to hunt the Blue Velociraptor at that time was only 4,000 gold.

   "Very good, I have accepted this task."

Gordon gave Tiki a thumbs-up, and then, under the incredulous gaze of Pig Chop, pushed it towards Tiki, "Pig Chop, just betray your hue, I'll treat you to smoked cod sausage later !"

  Ti Ji, who couldn't wait for a long time, hugged the pork chop into her arms, and moved it wantonly amidst the latter's resistance and struggle.

   "Hey hee hee hee hee"

  Just as the Kanban lady was wantonly stroking the cat with an idiot-like smile, two figures walked towards the counter one behind the other.

  Gordon heard the movement and looked back, only to realize that one of the visitors was Amos whom he had just met yesterday.

   "Senior Amos, good morning."

  Gordon took the initiative to say hello. He still respects this powerful senior very much.

   "Good morning Gordon."

  Amos also smiled kindly and nodded to him.

  Selectively ignoring Tiji, who was in a strange state, Amos said to Maqi: "Maqi, show me the mission slip."

   "Okay, Lord Amos."

  March bowed respectfully, picked up a thin but delicate booklet, and before he could hand it to Amos, the latter waved his hands and refused:

   "No, no high-ranking missions, one-star, and no more than two-star crusade missions are fine. I plan to take my apprentices to the hunting grounds to see the blood."

  Gordon noticed that there was a slender girl following Amos.

  The girl was wearing a very new hunter suit. The style was slightly different from the men's suit he was familiar with, but the material and design style were exactly the same.

   How do you feel, looks familiar?

  Gordon muttered something in his heart, but the girl stared straight at Tiggy, to be precise, at the struggling pork chop in Tiggy's arms.

  Noticing the girl's gaze, Amos misunderstood and said with a smile: "That Elle is a hunting cat, a good partner who fights side by side with the hunter. As for this child, I think it is Gordon's partner."

   "You are, are you a pork chop?" The girl took two steps forward and asked tentatively.

".Meow?"

  Suddenly heard someone calling his name, the pork chop stopped struggling, and it looked towards the other party.

   After carefully identifying the girl's facial features, and recalling it for a while, the pork chop finally dug out something from his memory and said in surprise: "You are the little girl from the caravan, meow? It seems to be called, Hayata meow?"
