Chapter 25 Practice hard
"Is this some new debt collection method?"

Daju, who was covering his nose with cat paws, said warily.

"It doesn't feel like it."

While one person and one cat were still analyzing, the ruthless team, shrouded in pink mist, poked their heads out of the house.

They were also surprised to see Wood and Daju, who were covered in mud and looking very embarrassed.

"What's wrong with you? (Meow)" x2
Both sides asked questions at the same time.

After entering the cabin and closing the door, Li Ming informed him that he was undergoing coordination training. Only then did Wood and Daju put their hearts at ease and recounted their unfortunate experiences today.

"Daju and I wanted to collect some materials, but we didn't know who dug a huge pit in the wild. Judging from the scale, we decided that only digging for ruins would dig such a big pit. We took advantage of the fact that there was no one around. So I thought about going to the bottom of the pit to look for any treasures and antiques, but guess what?"

Wood asked.

"This is a series of pits. The bottom of the pit on the surface is just a disguise. In fact, there is a quagmire underneath."

Li Ming responded.

"That's right, just like you said, well. How do you know so clearly?"

Wood asked curiously.

"I deduced it from seeing what happened to you."

After Li Ming finished explaining, he then asked: "Senior Wood, are there many ruins in Shayuan?"

"Compared with the super-large-scale ruins in the Relics Ridge and the Relics Plain, it is a relatively small area. Of course, it may be buried deep under the sand. After all, the most indispensable thing is the ruins."

Wood informed.

After sending Chuying and Bubu away, Li Ming and Midoduo cleaned the small house carefully.

Before going to bed, in order to enhance the smell of dyed balls.

Li Ming mixed the dyed fruit with a little sticky grass and made two facial masks, one large and one small, and put them on his and Midoduo's faces.

The next day, it was getting slightly brighter, and Li Ming climbed up from the straw mat.

With the help of Midoduo, he put on all the equipment and rushed to the guild with one person and one cat.

As for the reason for getting up early, it was because Chuying said yesterday that the machine dragon at the branch training ground is the most popular training equipment, so you must start training as early as possible.

"Hey!"

"what!"

"Ah!"

Before approaching the training ground, various shouts could be heard.

Seven or eight hunters have already started their morning exercises.

Beside the wooden mechanical dragon based on the male fire dragon, Chuying and Bubu were looking up.

The countless mottled marks on the wooden frame, the x-shaped slat patches on the neck, wings, and tail all indicate that this machine dragon has been quite old.

"Please pay more attention to my performance and help point out any shortcomings."

Chuying said seriously.

"Do not worry."

Li Ming gave a positive reply.

"I will also record it carefully, nya!"

said Bubu holding a notepad.

Chuying nodded, walked to the machine dragon, and put a coin with a face value of 5z into the coin slot.

click ~ click ~
Puff!Pooh!
The gears that meshed together under the body of the machine dragon began to rotate, and several streams of steam erupted outward from the abdomen.

Chuying stepped on the long ladder and climbed up to the elevated platform made of logs.

just rang~ just rang~
After the machine dragon was activated, its closed mouth opened, and it began to sway its body tremblingly from side to side.

"What an amazing cat."

Midoduo exclaimed when he saw this.

"Hey!"

Chuying, who was on the top of the platform, jumped off with a running start.

Poof~
Success fell behind the dragon, and Chuying fell down with her body in a big pose.

Hold onto the raised wooden ends of the carapace with both hands to prevent yourself from being thrown off.

Ganglang~Ganglang~Ganglang!Just bang!
The gears under the mechanical dragon's body rotated faster and faster, and the amplitude and speed of the dragon's body began to gradually increase.

At this moment, Chuying suddenly released her right hand and pulled out the hunter's knife from her lower back.

Then he propped up his body with one hand and sat on the dragon's back in a riding position.

"hey-hey!."

The raised hunter's knife stabbed the wooden target that had been damaged.

Just bang!Just bang!Just! Roar!Just!Rang!
The machine dragon's simple left and right swings paused slightly, and violent ups and downs were added.

Chuying's body swayed left and right, becoming more and more unstable.

呲!呲!
As two thick steam erupted from the chest of the machine dragon, the wooden wings on both sides unfolded.

The dragon-shaped body began to tilt left and right.

"Uh!"

Under the violent ups and downs of shaking, Chuying on the dragon's back fell to the sand.

"It's the third stage again."

Chuying sighed helplessly and muttered.

At this time, the machine dragon's wings were folded, its neck and tail retracted at the same time, and it quickly returned to the state before it was activated.

“It feels like there’s nothing lacking.”

Li Ming commented as he walked over.

"I didn't find any flaws in the movements either, nya."

Bubu said weakly.

"If there is no obvious room for improvement, it will be even more difficult, because the target to be pierced and destroyed in the assessment is brand new, and it will be more difficult to achieve than the training."

Chuying expressed her concerns.

"How about trying the head and tail targets?"

Li Ming gave suggestions.

"The back is generally considered the easiest thing to try."

After Chuying finished speaking, she stood up and patted the sand on her body.

Toss coins, climb platforms, leap, fall.
Chuying, who jumped to the leading position this time, was thrown off again just halfway through the second stage of ups and downs.

"It doesn't matter. I will guide you after I have gained enough experience."

Li Ming said comfortingly.

"Then please."

Hope flashed in Chuying's eyes.

"Midodo coins."

Li Ming pointed at the machine dragon and said very coolly.

"Okay meow!"

when!Ding bell~
The sound of coins hitting the bottom was heard, and the machine dragon became active again.

Li Ming climbed to the top of the platform, stretched his arms and legs, and simply warmed up his lower body.

"If I have shortcomings, you should also record them."

Li Ming waved and shouted.

"I know, meow! Li Ming! Add"

slap~
Before he could shout out the word "Midoduoyou", Li Ming fell directly into the sand.

"It's a little difficult. It doesn't matter. I didn't grasp the distance well in my first jump."

Li Ming stood up and climbed back to the platform.

slap~
"Miduoduo coins!"

puff~
"Miduoduo coins!!"

Dang bang~
"Miduoduo coins!!!"

Not long after, the surroundings of the machine dragon were filled with onlookers.

"Really rich."

"Although the improvement is not very big each time, it seems to be improving all the time."

"What a perseverant hunter."

Amid the divergent opinions, Li Ming fell to the sand again.

"Pfft~ Mido put in the coin."

Li Ming wiped the dust from the corner of his mouth and informed.

"No, meow, the machine dragon is overheated and needs to wait until it cools down."

Midoduo reminded.

"It's so easy to overheat, so I just got a feel for it."

Li Ming said a little disappointed.

"Uh, you've practiced 24 times in a row, meow." Midoduo reminded him, pinching his money bag.

"Twenty-four times is not too many. If I have any shortcomings, you must be honest. Don't not point out my problems just because we are teammates."

Li Ming informed.

"Well, how should I put it? Meow, jumping, grasping, riding, landing posture, basically every aspect has problems, and the flaws are too numerous to count."

Bubu shook the notepad on his paw.

"It seems that I have a lot of room for improvement. I still have to practice hard."

Li Ming said, taking the notepad and looking through it.

Chuying, who had been watching Li Ming silently, muttered to herself: "Practice hard. I understand."

"Sorry, my performance is not as good as expected, and I haven't developed any skills. I may not be able to guide you for the time being."

Li Ming sighed softly.

"No, your training method is the biggest inspiration. Before, I was too eager to take advantage of the situation and ignored the importance of training intensity. In fact, as long as I devote myself wholeheartedly and continue to train selflessly, I will be able to master riding. There is no need to summarize skills, practicing hard is the fastest shortcut!"

Chuying raised her hand and fisted her fist.

“It seems to make sense.”

Li Ming said uncertainly.

At noon, Li Ming and Mido Duo came to the counter.

"The team still needs to accept the contract, why don't we take a break?"

Shireen asked curiously.

"I'm not here to pick up the contract this time, but I just want to ask if I can get a monthly subscription for the machine dragon at the training ground?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Monthly subscription. What is it?"

"You just have to pay a certain amount of money, and then you can use it as many times as you like within the specified period."

"I understand, in order to be promoted to a two-star hunter, you want to do a lot of riding practice, right?"

Shireen asked.

"Yes."

"Wait a minute. Found it!"

Shirin said, picking up a 5z coin with a cross knot from the counter drawer.

"Are you talking about throwing it in and pulling it out?"

Li Ming asked in surprise.

"Yes, but you have to pay 5z first in exchange for my super coins."

"Can this work?"

"Of course, the guild's training equipment is for hunters. The initiative to activate 5z was only set up to prevent long-term occupation and naughty children. However, this method can only be used at night."

Shireen explained.

“It turns out that the training ground is also open at night.”

Li Ming didn't pay much attention to this.

"It was supposed to be closed on time, but since the hunters who want to be promoted need training, the guild will definitely give them the greatest support. How long do the team plan to train? I'll register."

Shireen said, taking out the heavy notepad.

"Come for three days first. By the way, I'll put in the coin of the machine dragon, can you?"

"It's okay. The registration is complete. The training ground will be open at night for three consecutive days. I wish the ruthless team can successfully pass the assessment."

Returning to the training ground and explaining the situation to Chuying and Bubu who were waiting in line, the team immediately decided to train again at night.

The full moon rises and the team reunites at the training ground.

"It's a pity that there is only one machine dragon. Let's practice it at different times."

Chuying said helplessly.

"If you practice riding on the back of a machine dragon, the head will be empty."

Li Ming thought about it.

"I've never seen anyone train like this."

Chu Ying was quite surprised by this idea.

"There is also Midoduo Bubu at the tail. Doesn't the hunting cat also have a riding test? Let's practice together."

Li Ming sent out an invitation.

"Can we meow too?"

Midoduo said in disbelief.

"Yeah, let's come together if there's room."

Li Ming didn't feel anything was wrong.

Midodo Bubu looked at each other.

"Come on, meow!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, a loud noise came from the training ground.

Shirin, who was on duty at the guild hall, picked up her skirt with both hands and quickly ran to the training ground to check the situation.

At this time, the machine dragon was crawling on the ground, with fire flashing on its chest, as if it was being hunted.

Bearings and gears of different sizes were scattered everywhere.

"It's an emergency."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Shireen said softly.

"Sorry, we practiced a little too hard."

Chuying stepped forward to explain, but Shilin raised her hand to stop her.

"Don't worry, it will be repaired soon and it will definitely not delay your training."

After Shireen finished speaking, she picked up her skirt and ran back to the guild hall.

Not long after, several craftsmen and Ellu with tools arrived at the training ground to carry out emergency repairs on the machine dragon.

“Really perfect protection”

Li Ming couldn't help but sigh.

The guild's emphasis on hunters exceeded his expectations.

Half an hour later, with the last piece of gear returned to its place, the machine dragon was repaired.

The team continued to practice hard until there was a faint light on the horizon.

Phew~pah~
Chuying, who landed on the sand, slid backwards for a distance and finally stood still.

Although this time it still failed to survive the violent shaking in the third stage, all riding movements became more and more natural.

As a beginner, Li Ming has improved tremendously.

From jumping from a high platform to falling directly to the ground, I can basically hold on to the end of the second stage every time.

Seeing that people were already entering the training ground one after another, and her physical strength was exhausted, Chu Ying suggested: "Practice here first, and continue tonight."

"Ok."

After they parted, Li Ming, who kept spinning the super coin string, returned to the wooden house with Midoduo to rest.

Passing by the workshop, the warehouse door opens.

In the warehouse covered with ice crystals, a large amount of cold air overflowed.

A cart carrying the body of Huang Sulong King came to the entrance of the warehouse for unloading.

"Successfully shipped back."

Li Ming said with some relief.

"Every time, we hand over at the gate of the stronghold, or transfer in the middle. It turns out that the monster corpses are finally transported into this ice cave."

Midoduo said unexpectedly.

"I hope we can break down more materials. It would be great if we could make two sets of Yellow Speed ​​Dragon King equipment."

With the guild drawing [-]% of the materials, Li Ming felt that the possibility was a bit slim, but he was still full of expectations.

Time flew by, and Chuying, who had practiced hard for three nights, finally survived the third shaking stage when the machine dragon's back pierced the target.

Judging from the assessment standards, this can be regarded as passing.

It’s just that the on-the-spot performance is really unknown, so more practice is needed to consolidate it.

Li Ming has also entered the third stage of his attempts, but in order to participate in training more frequently, the riding position he chose is the leading position with a larger swing.

Until now, I have never been able to make it to the end.

Midodo and Bubu are making rapid progress. The two cats are even trying to develop a combination technique to prevent being thrown off.

Cat-to-cat fall prevention technique.

Seeing that his riding ability was steadily improving, Li Ming immediately added another three nights of training.

Late at night, after a fall, Li Ming saw Wood and Aju watching the team's training by the fence, so he ran over and said hello.

Taking the refreshing drink from Ah Ju, Li Ming asked curiously: "Senior Wood, why do hunters need to take the riding test?"

"It's simple, because most monsters can't reach their backs."

After Wood finished speaking, he waved his hand and patted his shoulder.
