Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

  Chapter 89 Big Monster Bird Suit!

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

  Maybe they directly disassembled the materials, or they sent them to the arena in the training camp for the convenience of young hunters for actual combat training, or they sent them back to a certain mountain to balance the local ecology.

  In any case, 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 place, the sky 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 gesture of toasting, tilted his head and waited to see the latter's reaction.

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

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

  Suddenly, there were cheers, slamming 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 top up!"

   Randomly found an empty seat, and Gordon took the pork chop and sat down.

   "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 drank a lot last night. For a celebration, he naturally had to drink to his heart's content, but if he drank ale and got drunk, the hangover headache the next day would be just as enjoyable.

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

  Running into the bathroom, taking a cold shower, and pouring water into the faucet, Gordon finally felt better.

  Leaving a note to the bedridden pork chop, Gordon left the cabin 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, "Isn't it early in the morning to make up for it?"

   "How, are you injured?" Tiki took Gordon's note, 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 stable!" Gordon gave a thumbs up and asked again: "By the way, is the chairman at the assembly hall today?"

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

  Promoting a hunter level is not a casual matter, and the only person who can imprint a star on the cover of a hunter's notebook is the person in charge of the hunter's assembly halls in various places.

   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 is considered to be quite good in the whole city of Minagarde.

  But anyone who is familiar with him 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 beat teeth, and I haven't even bought a new set of clothes.

  This kind of consumption habit, which can’t be called an ascetic monk, but definitely can be called "diligence and thrift in housekeeping", has helped him save a lot of money.

  According to locals like Ted Ohshula, the groundhog has saved enough money to buy a small house outside the city center.

  Gordon certainly has no idea of ​​saving money to buy a house, at least not yet.

  He is just not interested in those extravagant lives. If it is really necessary expenditure, he thinks he is still very generous.

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

"Here, your new armor is right there, go and have a look." The owner 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, with a seemingly casual tone. But with a taste of self-satisfaction.

   Those are two sets of bright orange-red equipment, one is for hunters, and the smaller one is obviously for hunting cats.

   "Ooooh! My big monster bird suit!"

"Meow!"

  Gordon and Pig Chop jumped up together, stroking 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, with orange-red spikes on the wrists, the end of the skirt armor, and shoulders, which seem to be stabbed if touched lightly.

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

   When you have the opportunity to get a lot of those things, it's time to change to a higher level of 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 mineral. In addition to carrying the pickaxe to try your luck, the hunter guild will reward you a little bit when you successfully complete the task, which is quite precious.

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

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

  Gordon once owned three sets of armor, hunter set, blue velociraptor set, and refined ore set.

  Because the level of these armors is low, it is not worth spending armor jade to strengthen it, 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 increased in this way?" Gordon asked with bright eyes.

   "30% to 40%."

   "Then, if we use more advanced upper armor jade, hard 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?"
