I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 37 The Lost Period

"Yes, the team currently only has two members."

Li Ming responded.

"Young people are fearless. When you come to places like the Ancient Forest in the future, I advise you to recruit two more members, so that if danger occurs, you can have enough care."

Vima reminded.

"Well, I'll try."

For every additional member in the team, the guild will pay an additional fee when the contract is reached.

Judging from this distribution system, the guild obviously supports the four-person hunter team.

The authentication is completed and the seal is pressed.

"I know you must be very tired after the hunt, but on the way here, I detected the activities of night birds. I suggested leaving the ancient forest overnight before setting up a camp to rest. Thank you for your efforts in ecological stability. See you later. "

Velma informed.

Nightbird is a four-star monster that not only hypnotizes people, but also spreads insanity-inducing dust.

At the same time, he is extremely good at hiding and hunting. When encountering this kind of monster in the ancient forest, you can imagine how dangerous it is.

The team didn't care much, so they rushed back to the camp and started packing their things.

The evacuation began while the sunset was still lingering.

As the night progresses, the open mountains filled with moonlight reappear before our eyes.

Looking back at the dark and closed ancient forest not far behind them, the team stopped to rest.

Set up camp on a rock formation that juts out of the ground.

Bubu barbecues, rice cooks in soup, and smoke hangs in the sky.

"If you recruit another teammate, what do you want to be like?"

In front of the bonfire, Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Meow who has a complete collection of secret recipes!"

"A cat who can tell stories and sing!"

Bubumi Duoduo expressed his expectations respectively.

"I hope to recruit a member with a conservative and cautious hunting style."

Chuying suggested.

"My conservative and cautious style doesn't seem to go well with the team."

Li Ming said doubtfully.

"That's why we need this type of teammates to give the team enough warning."

Chuying explained.

"Find a cautious hunter. When you receive your reward, go to the guild hall to register."

Due to the need to stay on duty overnight, Li Ming and Chu Ying could only sleep for half the night.

But sleep in Monster Hunter World is truly magical.

When Li Ming woke up the next day, not only was he not tired at all, but his chest, which had been aching a bit last night, could no longer detect anything strange.

"Is there really something to be said for sleeping well?"

Li Ming muttered softly, and then shook Midoduo awake.

The camp was packed and the team was on the road again.

Two days later, we successfully arrived in the village of Bernard.

After receiving the reward, Li Ming registered the recruitment information of his teammates.

"I'm looking for a cautious and conservative hunter. What's the style of the ruthless team?"

the female receptionist asked.

"It's quite prudent."

Li Ming replied uncertainly.

"Okay, the registration has been accepted here. The recruitment cycle is one day. If there are suitable candidates, someone will remind you. If you want to interview the recruited members as soon as possible, you can wait in the lobby."

the female receptionist informed.

The hall of the Bernard Village branch is more than three times larger than the Sandstone Cave branch.

The number of hunters coming in and out every day increased several times. Li Ming felt that there were many opportunities, so he waited in the hall.

Taking out his notepad, Li Ming started planning the combination of existing skills.

Midoduo's eyes were quickly attracted by Elu running around and the dinner plate he was carrying.

"Order what you want to eat, don't be polite."

Li Ming said very proudly.

"I'll just take a look at the menu. No need to order, meow."

Midoduo said, opening the menu.

"It only costs 300z to cook fire dragon meat. Oh, it turns out you need a hunting meal ticket. What is that?"

Midoduo asked curiously.

"It can be regarded as a kind of supply permission. After all, all kinds of dragon meat can also stimulate corresponding abilities. If it is just to satisfy the appetite, or to go hunting, the consumption will be unbearable."

Li Ming explained.

"Then what kind of contract can allocate hunting meal tickets?"

Midoduo asked curiously.

"I haven't learned much about this. It's probably a four-star or above mission."

Li Ming gave a guess.

After waiting all morning, there was no hunter who wanted to join the team.

Lunch and midday training were still waiting for Li Ming, so he could only leave temporarily.

Returning to the lobby in the afternoon, Li Ming came to the counter to ask, but no one was interested in recruiting the ruthless team.

The body of the Jumping Dog Dragon King has not been returned yet, and Li Ming has nothing to do at the moment. There is unlimited refills of spring water in the guild hall, so he decided to wait a little longer.

An hour later, an old man with a cane came to the round table.

"Is this Li Ming from the ruthless team?"

"it's me."

"Hello, I am the village chief of Bernard Village. My name is Fando. I issued the contract of Jumping Outlaws. After many years, I suddenly received a reminder from the guild to complete it, so I wanted to find out about the situation from you."

Fanduo explained his intention.

"Village chief, please sit down."

Li Ming invited.

Fan Duo held his cane with both hands and sat on the chair.

"What does Village Chief Fando want to know?"

Li Ming asked.

"Is the camp in the open forest still there?"

Fando asked.

"Yes, but it has been completely abandoned and has become a permanent activity area for the jumping dragons."

Li Ming informed.

"Have you seen any other monsters?"

"There are none but the Chorosaurus, but Investigator Vima has picked up on the nightbirds."

Li Ming replied.

"That's it. Thank you very much."

Fan Duo sighed in disappointment.

"Are there any monsters in the ancient forest that the village chief is concerned about?"

Li Ming asked tentatively upon seeing this.

"That's not true. It's just that I was unable to promote Longli Academy's in-depth research on the ancient forest. I have been unable to let go. Today, the ruthless team can complete this contract. I am really happy. It can also be regarded as an end to this matter. ”

The contract is called Jumping Outlaws, could it be said.
After listening to Fan Duo's statement, Li Ming suddenly heard that this may be the contract in the game, but because no one took it, it was backlogged for a long time.

No wonder we didn't encounter a hunting team along the way, and the map information only provided information about the peripheral areas. The investigators were even more surprised by the visit of the two-person team.

Because the ancient forest has not been explored in depth at all, it cannot be regarded as a mature hunting area.No, if Ryūliyuan really wants to investigate, Jumping Dog Dragon King will be a minor trouble at best.

Li Ming quickly noticed something was wrong.

Humanity is currently very weak, but there is no reason to give up exploring an area just because of a two-star monster.

"Village Chief Fanduo, was there any other reason why Longliyuan stopped exploring the ancient forest?"

Li Ming asked.

"Yes, when the investigation of the ancient forest was launched, it was at the peak of the use of airships, and the haze of the failure of the crusade against the Lanlong was dissipating. The Ryūli Institute relied on the observation and accumulation of the Dragon Sense Ship to avoid the monster's permanent airspace. A relatively safe route was gradually drawn up, and a large number of outstanding hunters took airships to support hunting. Everyone thought the situation would improve."

Fan Duo sighed and changed the topic: "Until the Sky Comet Dragon was witnessed and confirmed, at first it just threw its carapace to the ground while flying at high altitude, causing panic among the land-based monsters. As the flight altitude gradually decreased, the affected flying monsters, It also began to migrate irregularly, which resulted in the complete failure of the safe route drawn by Ryūliyuan. Moreover, Tian Huilong itself was extremely hostile to the airship. The only airship that could compete with the monster could not be used. In desperation, the airship could not be used. , Ryūliyuan could only unite guilds and villages to fight back, but the devastated villages and towns were unable to provide effective support. In the end, the chief investigator got the message and could only pilot the Dragon Sense Ship to collide with Tian Hui Dragon, trying to die together. You should all know the result."

Fan Duo sighed while telling the story, obviously feeling very sorry for the sudden collapse of blood at that time.

"It's no wonder the ancient forest investigation was terminated."

Li Ming suddenly realized.

Although it was not mentioned in detail, it was obvious that the failure of Lanlong's crusade also caused a lot of losses to Ryūliyuan and the guild.

As for the Skeleton Dragon Crusade that was not recorded, it may be that the guild and Ryuuriin knew that they were not capable enough, so they never started it at all.

Under the chain effect, Longliyuan could only cope with it reluctantly every time, making itself more and more weak and no longer able to explore unknown areas.

"I am very touched that the team can reach a contract this time. In fact, I should have given up long ago. I come to you this time for another purpose."

Fando informed.

"Village chief please tell me."

"Are the ruthless team interested in becoming Bernard's resident hunter?"

Fando asked.

"What is a resident hunter?"

Li Ming asked puzzledly.

Seeing that Li Ming didn't understand very well, Fan Duo, his eyes shining, gave an explanation: "Resident hunters are hunters who stay in the village for a long time. The contract usually only accepts those within the jurisdiction of the village branch. When a village is in crisis, the hunters in the village have the obligation to help. Correspondingly, the village will also give the hunters in the village extremely favorable treatment, such as luxurious housing in the central area of ​​the village, food supplies, etc. "

Li Ming thought it sounded good.

The more times you go to a fixed hunting area, the more familiar you will become with it.

Hunting safety will continue to improve, and recruiting members will become easier.

But the problem is that he has to draw skills, and a single area means a single monster.

"My companion is not here. I will discuss it with her when I have time."

Li Ming responded.

"Please consider it carefully."

After Fan Duo finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

In the evening, no one came to respond to the recruitment. Li Ming felt that there was no chance today, so he left the guild hall with Mido Duo.

After dinner, one person and one cat went to the stables in the village to visit Mi Gugu and Bulala.

"Don't worry, you two, Bernard Village is the most professional livestock village and will definitely provide you with the best care for Marutori."

The male breeder said with great confidence.

"Excuse me, can you let Mi Gugu out first? I want to take it for a walk in the village to exercise its body."

Li Ming pointed at the drum of rice peeking out from the fence.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Click~The fence door opens.

"This hunter needs a riding cushion."

Halfway through the male breeder's words, he saw Mi Gugu kick his paws, flap his small wings, and leap onto Li Ming's back.

"You guys have really taken good care of yourself. I feel like I've gained a lot of weight."

Li Ming, who grasped the paw joints with both hands and lifted it up, praised.

"Oh, thanks for the compliment."

The somewhat confused male breeder nodded lightly.

"Midodo, you can go up too."

Li Ming greeted.

"Okay meow."

Mido jumped up, stepped on the wooden vertical beam with his paws, and jumped onto Mi Gugu's back.

"Hurry up, my strength training is about to begin!"

After Li Ming finished speaking, he quickly ran out of the house.

Seeing Bulala's gaze, the male breeder quickly locked the fence.

Early the next morning, Li Ming and Chu Ying met in the guild hall.

"Last night at dinner, you said something about the resident hunter, so forget it."

Chuying expressed her attitude.

"why?"

Li Ming asked puzzledly.

“I’m kind of intolerant of not being able to hunt in other branch jurisdictions.”

Chuying informed.

"Right."

"Well, what do you think?"

Chuying asked with a cautious look.

Because if the two of them had different opinions on this matter, the team would probably part ways.

"My opinion is the same as yours. Although those preferential treatment conditions are also very tempting."

Li Ming informed.

"Then it's good to say that Bubu and I went to see Brala last night, and we specially brought Marutori's favorite lightning bug, but why didn't it seem very happy?"

Chuying asked doubtfully.

"Love is still not enough. You have to understand the monsters' true needs from the monster's perspective."

Li Ming expressed his opinion.

"Okay, I'll try again tonight, and I must try to make Bulala happy."

Chuying raised her hands and clenched her fists, looking very determined.

At noon the next day, a flatbed truck with the body of Jumping Dog Dragon King tied around it arrived at the gate of Bernard Village.

Ellu, a craftsman in the village, took the initiative to find the ruthless team temporarily staying in the guild to negotiate.

The reason is that if the team wants to build equipment, the processing house in the village will intercept it based on the type of equipment to prevent insufficient materials.

"I heard that the local processing house has a lot of weapon derivatives. Is it true?"

In the house, Li Ming asked tentatively.

"It's not bad, meow, it's a little more than other villages and towns."

Artisan Ellu said modestly.

"Is there a shield ax made by Jumping Dog Dragon King?"

Li Ming started asking.

"There is a crimson ax mainly made of Jumping Dog Dragon material that can be used to make Meow. It can also be upgraded and made with the materials of Jumping Dog Dragon King. However, whether the materials are sufficient can only be determined after the decomposition is completed."

Artisan Elu informed.

"Then let's break it down according to this shield axe. I still have a few large scales here. You can take them as spares."

After Li Ming finished speaking, Midoduo found a pile of scales from his backpack and handed it over.

"Okay, meow, the decomposed material list will probably be handed over to the guild branch in the evening, please confirm it in time."

After craftsman Ellu finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Carrying two shield axes when traveling far away is obviously very inconvenient, but having a dedicated truck is different.

Although Li Ming didn't have much expectations for the Crimson Axe, building an additional shield ax expanded a derivation route.
