Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 167 Ground attributes? Steel system? Ghost type? What is this? (1 update~)

Bai Zhen was writing furiously on the second floor.

Yi Yi Huo Ya and Shui Yun were holding an examination paper and looking at it.

The two of them felt something bad when they looked at the content on the examination paper.

Huo Ya asked: "Your Excellency Sui Fengmin, will this assessment be a little too difficult?"

For example, what attributes of the strange dragon on the paper are weak, and what weapons should be used to attack which parts of the opponent can cause effective damage.

This is already advanced hunter knowledge, and ordinary apprentices cannot answer it at all.

Moreover, there is a trap here for the strange dragon.

Most hunters know that strange dragons are weak to fire, and attacking strange dragons with fire-based weapons will cause effective damage.

But not all strange dragons are weak to fire. Hunters have also encountered strange dragons that are not afraid of fire.

Even experienced hunters may not be able to answer this kind of thing.

The test questions for hunter apprentices are usually given by the guild agent. In other words, this set of test questions was given by Sui Fengmin.

Huo Ya looked at the donut in Sui Fengmin's hand and was a little confused.

Don't you, Mr. Sui Fengmin, like Bai Zhen very much? How could he deliberately ask these questions to make things difficult for Bai Zhen?
  Sui Fengmin comforted Huo Ya and said, "Don't be nervous. There is no fixed score for the test paper. If the test paper is too difficult, the corresponding passing score will also be reduced."

This is not a unified examination for thousands or tens of thousands of people, and the judging of papers is still very flexible.

As for wanting to pass the hunter exam through bribery?

This is completely making fun of one's own life and paying to die. This kind of thing almost rarely happens.

Sui Fengmin added: "Moreover, there has been a lot of unrest around the village recently, and many monsters have walked out of their habitats. At such a dangerous time, letting Mr. Bai Zhen pass the test at will is just a joke with his life."

After hearing Sui Fengmin's words, Huo Ya fell silent. She could only pray for Bai Zhen silently in her heart.

The written test lasted four hours before it was finally over.

The questions were very large and there was a lot to write about. Fortunately, the assessment time was very generous and Bai Zhen could do whatever he wanted.

At almost 12 noon, Bai Zhen finally completed the exam and came to the first floor.

Seeing Bai Zhen, Huo Ya immediately came over and asked with concern: "How is it?"

Bai Zhen gave Huo Ya a reassuring smile, gave a thumbs up and said, "It's easier than I thought."

Huo Ya was stunned for a moment.

Simple?
  How can this be?

Even she thought this paper was a bit too difficult.

Just when Huo Ya was about to question Bai Zhen in detail, Ni Tai followed behind him with a sealed test paper.

He said to Bai Zhen: "Take a short break at noon. The instructor assessment will be officially conducted at 1 p.m."

"Yes."

Bai Zhen nodded.

Because there was really no time to go back and cook, Bai Zhen simply ordered a Chinese meal to enjoy at the meeting place at noon.

Huo Ya and Shui Yun naturally ate with Bai Zhen.

On the other side, Ni Tai took Bai Zhen's answer sheet and went directly to a separate room, handing the paper to Sui Fengmin. Puxian was also in the room at the moment.

Pu Xian was also curious about what kind of answer Bai Zhen, a person from another world, would give.

"Oh, it seems that you answered it very seriously." Sui Fengmin held the document bag directly, and you could see how much Bai Zhen wrote from the thickness.

Opening the document bag, Sui Fengmin took the lead in looking at the answer to the question about the strange dragon that Bai Zhen had answered.

He read it in detail and whispered in surprise: "Weak ground attribute? What kind of ground attribute is it?"

Hearing Sui Fengmin's surprise, Puxian took a closer look.

It was written loudly on it. "It's strange that dragons are weak to fire, but that's not absolute. There should be individuals who are not weak to fire. If there is any attribute that can cause extra damage to it, the ground attribute will almost not cause problems."

Samantabhadra, Ni Tai: Huh?

The three of them continued to look down and saw other attributes written by Bai Zhen.

What is this steel type and ghost type?

And what is this fairy type?
  The more they looked, the more confused the three of them became.

Sui Fengmin looked at Bai Zhen's test paper and it didn't look like he was writing randomly, but if it was not written randomly, then Bai Zhen's answer would probably subvert a lot of existing knowledge in the world.

In the dining area outside, Huo Ya curiously asked Bai Zhen how he answered those questions.

"How did you answer the question about the strange dragon?"

Bai Zhen briefly summarized his answer.

Huo Ya was a little surprised when he heard this: "Did you know that some strange dragons are weak to fire and some are not?"

"I can roughly make some guesses."

The strange dragon is most likely an electric-type monster, and electric-type monsters only have twice as weak ground-type moves.

But according to the knowledge Bai Zhen learned, Strange Dragon is weak to fire. Bai Zhen also heard Huo Ya mention this before.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Zhen thought of the general-attribute Green Bear beast he had encountered before, which had the attribute of adding physical attributes and weak fire element.

Strange Dragon probably also has similar characteristics to Green Bearmon.

There is also the Thunder Wolf Dragon we met last time. He has electric + dragon attributes. In terms of attributes, he is weak to dragon, ground, ice and fairy attributes.

But in the world of monster hunting, Thunder Wolf Dragon is surprisingly weak to fire attacks. But the last time I looked at the Thunder Wolf Dragon panel, Thunder Wolf Dragon didn't have the same characteristics or skills as Blue Bearmon.

After thinking for a while, Bai Zhen thought of the truth.

Although Thunder Wolf Dragon is not weak to fire, those lightning bugs on his body are weak to fire.

This is probably where the impression of weak fire in hunters' experience comes from.

In addition, why there are only five attributes in the Monster Hunting World, this is most likely related to the fact that the monsters have few skills. Without skills, it is naturally impossible to observe. If it is impossible to observe, these hypothetical attributes will not be added to them.

Bai Zhen briefly explained the nineteen attributes in the Pokémon world and their respective attribute restraint relationships.

After hearing Bai Zhen's answer, Huo Ya and Shui Yun realized that the situation was more serious than they imagined.

If the 19 attributes (plus star crystal attributes) mentioned by Bai Zhen are feasible in their world, then the foundation of the entire hunter world over the years is likely to be shaken by this.

PS: Explain the attribute problem. In the past, some people objected to setting monsters according to Pokémon attributes.

Monster Hunter and Pokémon are produced by different production companies, and it is impossible to completely match their attributes.

But the novel must be unified. This is one of the foundations of the novel, and there is no way around it.

Moreover, the Tai Jinghua in the Padia region is about attribute restraint.

Blurring the issue of processing attributes is equivalent to weakening the existence of Tai Jinghua in disguised form, and giving up all the cool points related to Tai Jinghua.

In addition, there are some questions. For example, if the protagonist catches a fairy-type Pokémon in the future, will there be any attribute bonus for the fairy-type monsters? How much to add? These are all problems.

If it is covered in a vague way, more problems will arise. For example, a certain attribute is almost useless, why the protagonist wants to raise this Pokémon, and so on.

Moreover, if monsters are sent to fight Pokémon in the future, the restraint relationship between attributes must be written out.

So to sum up, this article will focus on the 19 attributes of the Pokémon world (plus star crystal attributes).

Of course, not everything is based on the attributes of the Pokémon world. For example, the general-type Green Bear that appeared before is not weak to fire at all according to the attributes of the Pokémon world, but in order to cater to the world view of the Monster Hunter world.

Added a trait called 'The Bear Fears Fire'.

The characteristic effect is - the physical attack points are increased by 20 points, but the damage taken when receiving fire damage is doubled.

Wok Guo will try its best to integrate the worldviews of the two worlds, at least so that the sense of contradiction is not so great. Thank you for your support.
