I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 83 Cat Recruitment
Two days later, 12 sickle dragon cat scythes made from six scythe dragon tails were delivered to the camp.

The spine of the knife is assembled in priority from high to low according to the training results.

During this period, many cats realized that their fighting talents were limited and quit the armed force training, focusing on camps and rescue teams that were more suitable for them, as well as newly established plantation areas.

When the Melu tribe was in the sand plains, they would also plant some plants.

However, due to climate effects and monster threats, the planting area is pitifully small.

Now that it can be planted in a large area, the cats are very excited.

Li Ming warned the cats not to take risks to protect the safety of the fields.

Because when it was originally conceived, the plantation area was an area that could be abandoned at any time to avoid danger.

In addition, the gunpowder seeds and explosive mushroom mycelium grown by the team are very cheap.

Even if the fields are severely damaged, they will not suffer much damage.

"Here's what you asked for, a botanically inspired introduction to armor."

In the center of the Maomao camp, Daoji handed a page of paper to Li Ming.

"Petal Armor Set."

Li Ming was a little surprised when he saw the name and shape of the armor at the top of the list.

"It's a bit strange for a male hunter to wear it, but its botanical ability is really powerful. It is said that after wearing it, even rare plants growing in the crevices of the cliff can be discovered."

Daoji introduced.

"Thank you very much. I will change the board later so that the expedition team can collect according to the requirements."

"The team has a private expedition, which means that the petal armor is not made for plant collection."

Daoji was a little confused about Li Ming's motives.

Because it is necessary to activate abilities such as geology and botany, it is usually a hunter who focuses on wild collection.

"I'm here for the planting area, so I want to have a deeper understanding of plant growth."

"So it is."

Daoji suddenly realized.

Three days later, the tender seedlings of gunpowder grass sprouted out of the ground, and the newly built planting area gradually got on the right track.

A new problem arose: there was a shortage of cats in the camp.

The 8 animals in the expedition team are basically in the wild, and of the remaining 33 animals, 24 are participating in the training of the armed forces.

Even if everyone continues to work outside of training, it is difficult to ensure the long-term stable operation of the camp and plantation area.

What's more, there are 10 rescue team members who may travel far away with the team at any time.

At this time, Daoji gave a suggestion, which was to start recruiting cats.

Recruiting cats seems to be a common thing in the stronghold.

The guild and Cat Academy will also exchange information with each other, introduce suitable hunters and hunting cats, and promote a partnership between the two parties.

We will also recommend some jobs suitable for cats.

But open recruitment in Maomao Camp is very rare.

The reason is that under the current situation, there is nowhere to establish a cat camp in the stronghold, and there is no safety guarantee in the wild. It is already in a state of extinction.

"Everyone is not familiar with the cat camp model. Cats with a safe working environment in the stronghold will most likely not want to join, so our goal is to attract those wild or semi-wild cat tribe members."

Li Ming expressed his opinion.

"Yes, in fact, many wild Elumelu have great potential, but they cannot adapt to the closed environment in the stronghold, so they have not become hunting cats. If they can all be recruited,"

Daoji said, rubbing his hands together with a look of fascination on his face.

Li Ming felt that if the sword spine was still in its teenage state, it would look warm.

Now, after all, it’s a bit off.

"But wild cats obviously won't look at the recruitment display boards in the stronghold, so how can open recruitment be implemented?"

"I thought you knew this?"

Daoji asked with surprise.

"Why would I know?"

"Because many wild cats in the tribe came here to follow the team."

"Let me recall. I know how to recruit the peach-haired Beast King of the Jungle, and I can get a lot of them every time."

Li Fan himself didn't realize it, but he had already realized the way to attract cats.

"I'll just say it."

"Daoji, please select the best dancing cat and be ready to follow the team at any time."

Li Ming said and started running quickly in the direction of Feiye Fortress.

"Don't forget to buy a small wooden barrel! This is exactly what you need for training!"

The spine of the knife shouted a reminder.

"Don't worry! Let Elle take the cat carriage! Wait for me at the guild gate!"

"Huh~ What an impatient person."

After looking away from Li Ming, Daoji sighed.

At the counter of Feiye Fortress branch, Shui Yun, who was bored, was stretching her waist.

Seeing Li Ming's arrival, he immediately retracted his outstretched arms and sat down firmly.

"Hello Shuiyun, is there a contract suitable for the team in the Waste God Community area? Preferably one related to Elmelu."

"Hold on."

Shui Yun searched for a while and informed: "The Umbrella Bird Hunt recommended last time has not been picked up by the team, and the guild is chasing the reward. Do you want to give it a try?"

"Okay. Does this have anything to do with Elmel?"

"The publisher is Daoji. Although the reason is to maintain ecological stability, the more senior receptionists know that as long as there are witness reports that the wild Ellu tribe has been harmed by monsters, he will fund the release of the contract."

"It turned out to be him."

"I heard that I hired Dao Ji to become Mao Mao's mentor? Is it true?"

Shuiyun asked curiously.

"Yes, who did you hear that from?"

"The peak battle between the two at the barbecue restaurant has spread throughout the fortress. I have to listen to the hunters discussing it several times every day. Now everyone calls you the meat-eating ghost man. There are rumors that you worked together to eat two Bobo's. Amount of meat, really?”

"It's not that exaggerated. The final statistics are only about one and a half. Let's not talk about this. Since it is a contract issued by Daoji, let's take a look first."

After receiving the contract from Shui Yun, Li Ming looked at it carefully.

【Tang Umbrella Monster】★★★
Location: Waste God Community area
Contract Target: Umbrella Bird

Client: Daoji

Mission brief: The Umbrella Bird is causing havoc in the ruined shrine, seriously affecting the stability of the area. Please ask the hunter team to come forward and eradicate it as soon as possible. Please!

Honoraria: 5300z+1200z (subsidy)
Time frame: 14 days

"That's it."

"Then I will authenticate it."

Shui Yun said, raising the seal and pressing it.

“Where can I buy small barrels in bulk?”

"You can go to the grocery store sold directly by the guild and ask Melu Qianke to buy it."

Shuiyun pointed to the corner of the hall.

"I want a large quantity, is there any discount?"

Although the materials sold directly by the guild can ensure compliance, there is even a traceability system.

But there is a fatal drawback, that is, it is expensive.

"In my impression, it seems that only four-star and five-star teams can get discounts when purchasing."

"Then I'll go check out the grocer outside. Thank you."

When Li Ming walked out, the cat carriage led by Elle was already waiting at the door.

Find a grocer owner and bargain wildly.

In the end, 28 small wooden barrels of average quality were purchased at a price of 200z.

Cats have a strong affinity for collecting barrels.However, the ones brought back were either without buckets or lids, or were damaged and abandoned, and the quantity could not support the training.

In the evening, there is a bonfire in the center of Maomao Camp, in front of a large barbecue grill.

Li Ming took advantage of the fact that all the members were present at dinner to inform them about the contract.

"The area of ​​the Waste God Community has been relatively stable recently. It's a good time for hunting. The team doesn't seem to have much demand for Umbrella Bird materials."

Chuying expressed her opinion.

"The materials are expected to be used to make an umbrella bird cat rapier. In addition, umbrella birds like to eat gunpowder. The camp is planting it on a large scale in order to train explosive skills. I feel that it is better to eradicate it first to feel at ease. In addition, with this hunt, I also want to give The camp recruits more members.”

At this time, he held up the bone and meat and gnawed fiercely at the spine of the knife, as if he realized something, and said tentatively: "Hunting for an umbrella bird, is it possible?"

"It's the one who made a fuss about the ruined shrine in your contract."

Li Ming confirmed.

"You actually picked it up. Come on, the umbrella bird is not an easy monster to deal with. I think back when I encountered it in the wild, I had to avoid it."

Daoji said with emotion.

In the early morning the team started preparing to hit the road.

Li Ming was surprised to see the list of cats who were good at dancing.

"This is basically the same as the list of members of the rescue team."

"Because only cats that have visited more areas can master more dance moves."

Midoduo gave an explanation, which seemed reasonable to Li Ming.

If you stay in one area all day long, you will naturally only know the local dance moves.

Although members of the rescue team may not go to school specifically, after encountering cats accidentally in the wild, they all use dance to communicate closely.

If things go on like this, dancing will naturally improve.

Passing Feiye Fortress, Li Ming picked up a custom-made flag from Shanpu.

The pattern above is very simple, just an unfolded pink cat's paw.

"It's a bit eye-catching, meow. It's easy to be noticed by monsters in the wild."

Eller reminded.

"There is no need to load it during daily operations. It will be enabled on the cat car only when visiting the tribe."

Li Ming explained.

"I see, would it be better to give the camp a name when introducing it?"

Eller gives advice.

"That's right, just call it Maomao Camp. It's very weak in directionality. Only by having a name can we leave a deep impression. But what should we call it?"

Li Ming started thinking.

"How's the Legend Camp?"

Midodo asked.

"Not really. Not all cats have great wishes."

"Call well-fed camp cat."

Eller suggested.

"It does meet the needs of most wild cats, but it is too down-to-earth, so we still need some room for aftertaste. Let's call it Nuanyangyang Camp!"

"This name is so cute!"

Midoduo agreed.

"Yeah, it's better than the well-fed camp, meow."

Eller thought for a moment and gave his approval.

The team is already very familiar with the mountainous sections of the Feishen Community area.

Unfortunately, the Cat Car cannot use the Flying Insect to make a leap. In order to maintain synchronized progress, it can only choose some suitable sections to pass.

However, the team's load is also carried by the cat cart. Overall, in addition to the increase in time, the physical exertion is actually reduced.

After two days of marching in depth, the team was stationed in an abandoned shrine where the camp had been previously established.

The wooden board with the name Miaomiao House written on it was now entangled in cobwebs and covered with dust.

In terms of hunting, the team changed the target from herbivorous monsters to the weasel dragon.

In this way, after bringing the cut tails back, you can make more Scythes and Totoro Scythes.

As for the shortcomings, it is that the meat of the Weasel Dragon is not very tasty.

Beside the campfire, Li Ming read the introduction about the umbrella bird and then read the related witness reports.

It was found that this umbrella bird has integrated into the local ecology of Feishen Community, but its overall performance is still not peaceful enough.

He spends the whole day either fighting Tengumon or chasing away Green Bearmon.

The Cat Tribe was not spared either, and two places had been destroyed by it.

It feels like they want to dominate the Waste God Community area.

In fact, if this individual umbrella bird had not attacked the Cat Tribe, the guild would not have issued a crusade contract at all.

Because with this high-profile action method, when the resentful tiger dragon returns, it can be directly put into the belly and taken away, without the need for hunters to take risks.

But when attacking the Cat Tribe, the situation is different.

Because after each wild tribe develops to a certain level, they become potential members of the rescue team and long-term contributors to witness intelligence.

The guild marks the exact location of the camp on the map so that the hunter team can go and seek help when they are in dire straits.

If there is no wild cat tribe in an area, it will be difficult to carry out hunting operations.

Many people are unable to accept it emotionally, just like Daoji.

Therefore, for monsters that invade and kill cats, guilds and hunter teams will generally provide maximum help.

Despite being isolated from the world and completely wild, the cats of the Elumelu tribe, which have a lot of interactions with humans, can understand and maintain this relationship.

Rest overnight.

In the early morning, the lucky wood rabbit was released into the air.

Li Ming finished praying to the Xiangmiao statue, loaded up a full set of detection and tracking fog balls, and started exploring.

Two hours later, Li Ming captured the high-pitched roar that accompanied the green bear's roar.

The team followed the guidance and headed there quickly. Soon, Fumu Rabbit and Tingzhong returned and seemed to have found the target they were looking for.

Moving quickly, the team pushed through the trees.

On the turbulent shallow water, the green bear beast was raising its arms in the air, roaring in front of it to intimidate.

Standing on one leg in the water, an elegant giant bird is confronting it.

The giant bird has a fiery red face and a flat, protruding beak.

The feather crest on the forehead, which is shaped like a vertical pupil, stands straight and erect, contrasting with the huge crown extending backward, like a queen's crown.

puff~
The slender and powerful claws alternate in the water.

Umbrellabird continued to stand alone on one leg, seemingly unaware of Green Bearmon's intimidation.

Green Bearmon became angrier and its roar intensified.

The two front paws landed on the ground, turned around and crawled away from the river.

"Well, looking at the wounds on Blue Bearmon's body, it should be someone who tried it, but it's just no match for him."

Li Ming speculated.

The umbrella bird's wing bones with blood-red barbs unfolded, flapped and jumped forward to catch up.

Under the pressure of the wind, the water ripples suddenly rise.

"Attack!"

Li Ming shouted, and the two of them ran quickly and stepped into the river.

Although monsters with higher star levels have significantly improved combat power, most of them act alone and do not need to be separated from the group in advance.

Umbrella Bird, who noticed the strange noise on the water, turned its head in mid-air, observed it for a moment, and then gave up its pursuit of Green Bearmon.

Due to the opponent's scaly carapace, it has good fire resistance according to the Monster Encyclopedia.

Li Ming did not give the fireworks shield axe, or load it with the attribute energy injector.
