Brave the world of monster hunting with a pokeball

Chapter 52 Four Star Mission
"No."

Shireen refused very solemnly.

"What?"

"Well, there is an essential difference between a three-star mission and a four-star mission. The degree of danger is far beyond imagination. If the standard is not met, the contract must not be provided to the hunter team."

Shireen explained in a low voice.

"Then Eudora, come on."

Li Fan took a step sideways, and Yudora stepped forward and put the four-star hunting badge on the counter.

Xilin showed a look of embarrassment, and explained: "Not only do four-star and above missions require a contract fee, but the degree of danger is much higher than that of three-star missions. Miss Udora really don't think about it?"

Due to his recent active performance, the composition of Li Fan's hunting team is basically known to the people in the village.

The configuration of two people and one cat makes Shirene unavoidably worried.

"Thank you for the reminder, there is no need to think about it. If you only accept three-star missions, you will not be able to help the five-star hunter evaluation."

Eudora responded.

"OK then."

After Shireen finished speaking, she took out a heavy book with four stars on the cover from under the counter.

The cover of the book is surrounded by two intersecting chains, and two small locks hang from the intersection.

Shirin opened one of the locks with the key from the pendant on her neck, and then called to Jena next to her to open the second lock with the key she was wearing.

so formal
Li Fan was a little surprised by how much the union attached importance to four-star missions.

"Please check it out. In addition, I must solemnly remind you that for all the following contracts, the union only recommends that all four members of the team be hunters with four stars or above to participate."

Shirene turned the book to Eudora and gave another solemn reminder.

Li Fan was not surprised by this reminder.

After the pas de deux under the moon, many three-star hunters in Kara Village were promoted to four-star.

However, the union did not appear to receive four-star missions on a large scale.

The daily uncovering tasks are still based on the two-star and three-star published on the bulletin board.

The most important reason is the fault-like growth of hunting danger.

Of course, this situation is not limited to four-star hunters. Five-star hunters receive daily tasks, and they are all concentrated at the three-star stage.

Generally, only when the villages in the nearby area are in danger and the joint hunting mission issued urgently can attract enough hunters to participate in the four-star and five-star missions.

So it's not normal for a hunter to rush to accept a four-star mission just after being promoted to four-star.

Black Wolf Bird, Fetish, Night Bird, Sickle Crab, Manjaw Dragon, Scarlet Armored Beast, Rock Dragon, Ice Tooth Dragon.
Yudora flipped through the contract pages extremely fast, as if she had already determined the monster to hunt.

Wow!Yudora's hand suddenly stopped, pointing to the contract page and saying, "This is it!"

Shirin poked her head and said unexpectedly: "This contract is the queen of the earth!"

"That's right, we're going to hunt female fire dragons, this is the contract gold of 3000z."

Eudora said as he took out his purse.

"Wait a minute, Miss Udora, are you really going to stop thinking about it?"

As Xilin said, she hurriedly gave Li Fan a look.

She signaled him to persuade Udora, but how could Xilin know that it was Li Fan's idea that the team wanted to hunt the female fire dragon.

"Yes, you have to be careful, the four-star mission is not a joke."

Li Fan said, and began to help count the coins.

Seeing this, Shireen's face was covered with black lines.

"I'm sure."

Under Udora's insistence, Shirene could only take out the contract bound in the book.

"This is a general contract reviewed by the headquarters. It will be released at multiple branches or strongholds in a certain area at the same time. After receiving it, you need to go to the branch designated by the mission to report, update the latest information, and confirm the current contract status. Start hunting."

Shireen said.

"That is to say, this contract can also be seen in other branches?"

Li Fan asked tentatively.

"Yes, but don't worry, as long as it's not an urgent task, there will be very few cases where the hunting team crashes. Even if it does happen, the local branch will come forward to mediate. The general way to deal with it is to merge the two teams to hunt, or the trade union Pay for reimbursement of round-trip travel expenses to mitigate the loss of voluntary withdrawal from the team."

Shireen gave a detailed introduction.

From this point of view, the difficulty of the four-star mission is indeed not generally high.

Otherwise, like the Samsung mission, it would be fine to only release it in a single branch.

Expanding the recruiting area of ​​the hunter team is to ensure that four-star missions will not become a backlog of contracts like many three-star missions.

After all, if the Samsung mission is not dealt with for a long time, in addition to the fact that the client will be unhappy, it may not bring too much pressure on the local ecology.

The four-star monsters already have the ability to destroy the ecological balance, even if they don't endanger the villages and towns, they can't be left alone.

"Supplies can be collected at the local union stronghold by virtue of the contract. Please keep these four meal coupons."

After stamping the contract and handing it over, Shireen took out four strips of yellow meal coupons.

Yudora took it and left the union hall with Li Fan.

Sitting on the stone bench on the street, Yudora spread out the contract called Queen of the Earth, and studied it with Li Fan.

"The client is the union headquarters, and the hunting location is Senqiu. The reason is to maintain the local ecological balance. The remuneration is 54000z. The contract certification point is the branch of the Hunter's Guild in Keket Village. The target is any female fire dragon in the Senqiu area?"

Yudora looked at the introduction, but she didn't expect this to be a contract that did not limit individuals.

"It should be that the local female fire dragons are flooding."

Li Fan made a guess.

"It's mostly like this. There is no specific requirement on the hunting time limit. It may just depend on the actual situation in the local area."

Eudora agrees.

"There are still five days before the delivery of the shield crab equipment. With an extra day to adapt to the equipment, we will be able to set off in about six days."

Li Fan made plans to prepare for the hunt.

"When do you eat cat food? I heard that Keket Village is the birthplace of hunters. The cat food there must be very authentic, but if you don't make an appointment, it's hard to predict what ingredients you will eat. Why don't we bring the ingredients when we set off!"

Yudora looked at the meal coupon in her hand with eager eyes.

"Uh, what do you mean cat food?"

Li Fan didn't know why.

Udora and Dilu cast surprised gazes together.

"Have you never eaten cat food?"

Eudora looked disbelieving.

"Of course I did."

Of course Li Fan knows about the cat food in the Monster Hunting game.

But currently, I have eaten the entire menu of the meals in the Maomao Roasted Meat Shop.

In addition to being delicious and satisfying the hunger, it will not bring any ability gain.

Therefore, the term cat meal is both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Fan's consciousness.

"It seems that you haven't eaten for a long time, so you forgot about it. This kind of meal coupon is issued to the hunter team by the trade union after accepting the task of four stars or more. Each coupon can allow a hunter and Ailu cat to eat one A super dish made from rare ingredients, that is, cat rice.”

Eudora said.

"That means you can't eat cat food without meal coupons."

Li Fan was stunned.

It turns out that cat rice does not exist, but the threshold is very high, and it is restricted by the trade union.

So that the few precious ingredients can be applied to hunters who need them more.

In terms of the triggering principle, it should be to allow high-level monster meat to enter the body to participate in metabolism, so as to achieve an effect similar to the activation ability of close-fitting armor.

As for the downside, it should be the staying power of the effect.

In addition, according to Yudora's description of the cat meal, whether there is a corresponding food reserve in the eating place is also a factor that restricts the effect of the cat meal.

For example, if you want to start a fire position, you need a corresponding recipe.

If there are no ingredients in the local area, then Ai Lumao, who is in charge of cooking, is a god and cannot make corresponding dishes.

"I remember the last time I ate cat food, when I participated in the pas de deux under the moon, the taste... Oh no, the ability to activate is still fresh in my memory."

Eudora recalled.

"What ability was activated?"

"It seems that the lightning resistance has improved?"

Eudora replied uncertainly.

"Ok."

Li Fan knew why Yudora couldn't forget about Maofan.

"So what I saw in the trade union hall on the ship was not the price list of ordinary dishes, no wonder the prices are so exaggerated."

Recalling his previous experience, Li Fan suddenly understood why those dishes were so expensive.

"Well, don't you want to get rid of cat food in order to cut expenses?"

Eudora asked worriedly.

"How come, an extra ability stimulation is very important for hunters. My suggestion is to wait until the local Kokot village to eat, otherwise, if there is an accident on the road, the cat food will be wasted."

Li Fan explained.

"We are a team of two, and we have four meal coupons"

Eudora had an idea.

"Impossible, meow, you must keep a good distance between eating cat food. If two kinds of cat food have a rejection reaction in the body, it will be very dangerous."

Di Lu jumped onto the stone bench and solemnly reminded her.

"Di Lu has been working part-time at the Maomao Roasted Meat Shop for a long time. I think it makes sense."

Li Fan agreed.

Armor can be matched and worn to allow abilities to superimpose each other, or to neutralize and offset negative effects. It stands to reason that ingredients can also be used.

But if the problem is to really change it to ingredients, this process is carried out in the body.

No matter how bad the hunter's physique was, he couldn't bear this kind of repulsive hedge that originated from his body.

With a preliminary understanding of the mission of the Queen of the Earth, the team officially made preparations for the hunt.

Li Fan drew the attacking movements of various female fire dragons and posted them on the bookshelf of the wooden house.

Dilu collected information about the female Charmander's predation habits and living habits to prepare for the research.

When Yudora confirmed the progress of the weapon production at the blacksmith shop, she learned that the shield crab sword was heavier than the bone sword currently used, so she started assault training on arm strength.

As for the method, it is a tug of war with Xiong Da.

In the middle of the night, under the dim light of the butter lamp, Li Fan at the desk took a breath and continued to study the contents of the book.

Through the analysis of various information and intelligence, hunting female fire dragons is more difficult than he expected.

Originally, Li Fan thought that as long as the tail was cut off and the poisonous thorns on the tail were cut off, so that it could no longer inject venom into the target, the team members could be prevented from being poisoned.

However, according to various documents, it is confirmed that the venom of the female dragon is secreted from the back spine.

After the tail is docked, not only can it still spray venom, but the range is even wider, and the only thing lost is the ability to puncture and inject.

Of course, you can destroy the spine if you want to, but you must be prepared to be slapped by the venom.

As for the consequences of poisoning, it is not limited to blood loss in the game.

fatigue, labor pains, confusion
All kinds of associated symptoms are manifested, and as the poisoning meter increases, or the body's metabolism speeds up, the poisoning effect will continue to increase.

"Do you want to be so hardcore?"

Li Fan rubbed his face with both palms, and said with some distress.

Di Lu put a stack of books on the table and gave encouragement: "You can do it, Li Fan, come on meow!"

"Yes, Di Lu, tomorrow you can take the deodorant ball that you didn't use this time to the chamber of commerce, and see if you can replace it with some detoxifying herbs, detoxification medicine, and flashing balls."

"Good meow! Uh, I have a question for meow."

Dilu tentatively said.

"Go ahead."

Staring at these ecological books all afternoon, Li Fan's head grew bigger, and he also wanted to change his mind.

"Why do you want to capture the female Charmander, meow?"

Dilu asked puzzled.

The second day after the team returned, Li Fan went directly to the guild to pick up the mission, obviously he had already made up his mind about the monster to be captured.

Yudora wants to hone her own strength and accumulate for promotion to a five-star hunter. As long as it is a four-star monster, it will naturally come.

Di Lu is a bit confused, Li Fan's selection criteria for monsters.

"At the level of the four-star mission, I need a monster with excellent flying ability to help the team open up the situation. The fire dragon family can meet my requirements, and the one with the lowest difficulty in capturing is the female fire dragon."

Li Fan explained.

"Where's Kuku, meow?"

Dilu feels that Kuku's flying ability seems to be okay.

"Kuku is not bad in Samsung. At least many hunter teams will have a headache when encountering a big monster bird, but it is also flying, altitude, speed, bearing capacity, endurance, aerial ecological niche, and attacking the ground. Fire Dragon The family has an absolute advantage."

"It's so complicated meow."

Dilu said in surprise.

"In addition, I also want to test the attitude of the fire dragon family towards the same kind of monsters by capturing the female fire dragon. If there is a chance, I might bring back a male fire dragon."

Li Fan stroked his chin and started to imagine.

"Is this really okay, meow?"

Dilu asked in surprise.

"It's difficult, but even if it doesn't work, if you meet other fire dragons while flying at high altitude, the same kind will not attack, so the ecological niche in the air will be improved in disguise."

"I understand meow. The fire dragon has a very wide branch and is a hunter with a very high ecological niche. Even if other four-star monsters have similar flying abilities, they can easily get involved in the battle with the fire dragon. If we capture the fire dragon itself, There is no such trouble!"

Di Lu understood Li Fan's intentions.

In various preparations, five days passed in a hurry, and soon came the day of delivery of weapons and armor.

In the early morning, Li Fan rode Taimei and dragged a small truck to the door of the blacksmith shop.

Ai Lumao, a clerk with dark circles under her eyes, greeted Li Fan with a haggard face when she saw Li Fan coming.

Not long after, the male boss with the same style of thick dark circles walked out of the store at an erratic pace.

"Please wait."

After the male boss finished speaking, he rolled out a cart from the backyard of the blacksmith shop.

The things loaded on the car were covered by a piece of dark red cloth, and only the general outline could be seen.
