Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

  Chapter 53 Respective preparations

  Maybe because of shift scheduling, Gordon and Ohshura couldn't see Tiggy at the counter today, and it was Madge who received them.

  The "gentle" and "reliable" kanban lady in her words and deeds first bowed politely before looking at Oshula standing in front.

   "Miss Oshula, are you still planning to accept the commission of hunting the Peach Haired Beast King this time?"

   "Of course! Is there any? Don't tell me I'm really done for."

  March smiled gently. She held out the big and heavy task list, and said with a smile:

  "Sometimes, thanks to Miss Ushula's activity, there was even a rumor spread in the assembly halls of nearby towns that 'Minagard has an expert in dealing with peach-haired beasts'.

  Now in the entire Shulet area, as far as the city of Melchita, as long as there is news of the peach-haired beast king's rebellion, the task slip will be delivered to us as soon as possible. "

  Oshura: "."

  Gordon on the side suppressed his laughter by clearing his throat and coughing.

  Miss March's words were polite and sincere, and there was absolutely no ironic connotation in her words, but it was precisely this that made the statement of "expert in dealing with peach-haired beasts" particularly poignant.

  Taking a deep breath and stabilizing her emotions, Ursula took out her hunter notebook and put it on the counter together with Gordon's notebook.

   "Gordon and I teamed up to participate in this mission. I may need to trouble Miss March to inform the president for us, otherwise Gordon will not be able to participate in the three-star mission."

  As a "two-and-a-half-star" hunter, if Gordon wants to participate in a three-star mission, there are two necessary conditions. The mission must be led by a three-star or higher hunter. This has been achieved, and only the approval of the president is left.

   "The chairman is just in the assembly hall, please wait a moment, please."

  March left the counter with the hunter notes and mission receipts of the two, and went to the second floor of the assembly hall where the president's office was located.

   It didn't take long, about ten minutes later, Madge came back. Judging from her expression, the application went very smoothly.

   Gordon is not surprised.

  As Ohura herself said, her skills in hunting the Peach-haired Beastmaster have reached perfection. Even if Gordon is a fool, she can completely lead them. The president doesn't need to worry about their safety at all.

   "The president has approved it. Do you need to register the mission for the two of you now?" March said while handing over the mission slip.

   "Two, please confirm the task content."

  —

  Hunting mission: the big belly man in the forest (★★★)

  Mission content: Hunt for a peach-haired beast king

  Remuneration: 7500z

  Mission Location: Kulbutios Wetland

  Monsters that may appear: Peach Hair Beast, Blue Velociraptor, Odd Face Race

  Limited time: 15 days

   Those pink guys destroyed the mushroom trees and mushrooms in the forest into a mess. Not only now, but in the future, we will not be able to collect high-quality shiitake mushrooms!

  In order to keep everyone's table, let's hurry up and get rid of the most gluttonous guy!

  —

"Well, there's no problem with me, but we won't be able to leave until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, is that okay?" After taking the task slip and quickly glanced at it, Ohsura passed it to Gordon, looking at March confirmed.

   "No problem, the assembly center only received this commission yesterday, there is still plenty of time, and the two of you have plenty of time to prepare." Madge nodded with a smile.

   "I'm fine." Gordon handed the slip back to Ohshula.

   This commission is very routine. Except for the extra column of "monsters may appear" that makes Gordon a little concerned, the other parts are quite satisfactory.

  The experienced Kanban lady saw through the doubt in Gordon's eyes, and explained with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Lord Amos' suggestion.

  The new column on the task list is mainly to tell the hunters the dangers they may face during the hunting process, so as to avoid bad things from happening due to insufficient information. "

  Gordon was stunned when he heard this.

   This extra reminder is indeed a good precaution.

  Take the mission of the sacrifice of the strange-faced clan as an example. If it was indicated in the mission receipt that there might be a king of the strange-faced clan, he would never take it.

   Thinking about it, I still feel a little scared. If Senior Amos hadn’t noticed it and helped him specially, his own bones might have already been served on the table of the Qimian tribe.

  Under Ma Qi's skilled operation, the task registration was quickly completed.

  Oshula didn't continue to drag Gordon to drink or chat, but returned to her room to prepare for the next hunt.

  Different from melee hunters like Gordon, you only need to bring weapons and equipment, as well as necessary props such as recovery medicine and food to go hunting.

  The preparation process for the marksman hunter is much more complicated.

  Whether it is a bottle for hunting bows or a crossbow for light and heavy crossbows, you need to prepare in advance.

  Take Osura, who is a light crossbow user, as an example. She not only needs to prepare crossbow shells with different attributes and functions for the target monsters in this hunt.

   It is also necessary to consider the carrying capacity of finished crossbow shells and the difficult storage of some special crossbow shells.

  For this reason, in addition to the finished crossbow shells that have been blended, she must also carry some raw materials needed for blending crossbow shells, such as needle fruit, burst fruit, gunpowder grass, etc.

   Very cumbersome.

  Gordon went to find the pork chop, wanting to inform the latter about the new mission.

  What he didn't expect was that the pork chop didn't go anywhere, but was alone in the room, tinkering with some wooden barrels and gunpowder.

   When he learned that he was going to the hunting ground tomorrow, Pig Chop seemed a little surprised, but he immediately entered the state, checking the status of the armor, weapons, and hunting props.

   Don't think that hunting cats are just hunters' pets.

  These smart and industrious little guys have their own system for the research and use of weapons and even various hunting props. They are not inferior to human hunters at all, and even surpass the latter in some aspects.

  For example, recently, Zhu Chop has been obsessed with researching the technique of explosive bombs.

   In the past, Pork Chop didn’t study these things very much, because it was not good at using the melee weapon, that is, the cat pick, and it didn’t have enough experience in fighting with Gordon.

   Now, it has grown into an excellent hunting cat, and it plans to go further.

   Regarding this, Gordon is naturally happy to see the results.

  Whether it is himself or his partner Zhu Chop, they are all in the stage of rapid development of strength. Since no one wants to be pulled down, they must redouble their efforts.

  So, Gordon turned his head and got into the training ground

  The whole day is spent in training and preparation.

   Walked out of the training ground, Gordon washed off his sweat and exhaustion, and returned to his room.

  Seeing that the pork chop was lying on the floor, carefully installing a fuse for a small wooden barrel about the size of a coconut filled with black gunpowder powder, Gordon couldn't help but joked:

   "Be careful, don't blow up the house, we can't afford to pay for this little money."

   "I don't know how to meow! I have successfully mastered the explosive bomb technique of Elle!"

   "After that, I look forward to your performance."
