Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

In fact, Gordon and the others didn't think much about the benefits of this mission.

Hunters who have been promoted to higher positions have gained honor and social status. While enjoying far better benefits than ordinary hunters, they must also bear more responsibilities.

Regardless of whether they are in the Old World or the New World, high-ranking hunters are obliged to accept recruitment and assignments from guilds, and these assignments are often very dangerous and lack fuel and water.

Take Gordon's mission this time as an example.

The total remuneration is 64980z. Of course, this remuneration cannot be considered low, but if converted, it is almost equivalent to 1.5 to 2 times that of hunting the dragon.

But the dangers between the two are not on the same level at all.

High-ranking hunters are generally not short of money, and no one will bother the ancient dragon species just for these 60,000 to 70,000 z.

Of course, if the purpose is to use cologne material, that’s another matter.

Just like Lockak's annual "Feast in the Desert", if the Sand Ship Group recruits people from outside, there will probably be many hunters who would rather take the risk to take part in it without being paid.

However, Gordon and the others did not hunt the Steel Dragon this time, and even the battle did not last too long.

I couldn't cut off the tail, cut off the horns, etc. The materials I harvested were just a few scales picked up on the ground, and some unknown crystals that were originally attached to the steel dragon's body.

It can’t be said that nothing has been gained, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

Gordon Hayata didn't pay too much attention, and he didn't have any expectations at the beginning. After all, this is the nature of the work of a high-level hunter.

So when they heard the commander-in-chief mention that there was "extra remuneration", the two of them were a little surprised. Zhupa and Xianglan also came over curiously, scratching at the edge of the huge command platform, wanting to see the so-called extra remuneration. What is it.

"You have completed your mission perfectly. Those of us at the rear must not be stingy." The commander-in-chief smiled and took out a few rough stones with decorative beads and placed them in front of the two of them.

"These five rough stones are large in size and of good quality. They should be able to be polished into pretty good decorative beads. Let's take them as bonuses for this mission."

Gordon picked up a rough stone and looked at it for a few times, he chuckled and said, "Rough stones of this quality are not common, are we not polite?"

"When have I ever seen you polite?" The commander-in-chief glared at him.

"Hayata, put it away!"

Gordon wouldn't care too much if it was money or the like, but high-quality decorative beads were absolutely attractive to hunters like them, who had already found it difficult to make further progress in terms of equipment.

Hayata smiled sweetly at the commander-in-chief, and quickly put away the rough stones without giving him a chance to regret.

"Ah, by the way, Commander-in-Chief, you are well-informed, do you know what this is?" Gordon took out a few pieces of dark purple unknown ore with a texture between crystal and metal from his luggage.

The Commander-in-Chief took a piece and observed the formation carefully, "I have seen this kind of thing twice. It is a crystal containing high energy, and it seems to only appear in those particularly powerful ancient dragon individuals.

We named it ‘Dragon Vein Stone’. As for its specific function, it is currently unknown due to too few samples.

"Sounds a bit like dragon vein crystals? Is there a connection between the two?" Hayata asked curiously.

"I don't know." The Commander-in-Chief shook his head slightly. He would never express random opinions in areas he did not understand.

"You can go to the leader of the second phase and ask him. He might be able to research something."

Gordon and Hayata looked at each other.

It just so happened that the newly acquired high-quality beads also needed to be taken to the processing house for appraisal. The reports and inquiries from the Commander-in-Chief were almost complete, so they said goodbye and left.

The three of them and the two cats planned to go to the Bobcat Pavilion to have a big meal first and treat their stomachs well.

On the way to the Bobcat Pavilion, they met Rania, who was leading a patrol to maintain law and order.

Nothing happened, but Xianglan suddenly ran out, grabbed Rania's trousers, and innocently expressed with her round eyes that she wanted to learn the skill of throwing throwing knives from her.

It was also said that during this battle against the Steel Dragon, a certain scrivener team member showed amazing throwing knife throwing skills and accurately inserted all the throwing knives into the Steel Dragon's wound.

Meow~, it must be because of his excellent skills, meow. The scrivener member must not have sneaked up to the steel dragon and threw the flying knife in front of them while they were not paying attention, meow.

Rania's face turned dark, knowing that a certain scrivener's knife-throwing skills were at a level that was purely based on facial recognition from a distance of five meters.

Alva's face turned pale. Anyway, he had nothing to do with the rest of the dinner, so there was no point in hiding it. As a former policewoman from Dark Night, she was well versed in torture techniques.

Looking at Alva's dejected back as he was taken away, Hayata rubbed Pandan's head repeatedly.

I don’t know who this child learned such a disdainful character from.

Some people say that the hunting cat's personality will gradually become like its owner. Hayata thinks this is pure nonsense. If it must be said, the personality of Pandan's sister Dianthus is somewhat similar to hers.

The number of people was reduced by one, and the three-person dinner was about to turn into a date for two. Pork Chop already wanted to drag Pandan away.

But they encountered another group of people at the Bobcat Pavilion - the alcohol team was eating and drinking here.

Seeing the two Gordons, Ted waved at the top of his voice and asked them to sit together. Gordon Hayata did not refuse. They hadn't had a drink together for a while.

After shouting and adding a few more dishes, Gordon pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the drunkards with a funny look, "Why, I don't see you guys coming to the Bobcat Pavilion.

If you want to drink, wouldn't it be better to go to the tavern of the Star Ship's Assembly Hall? "

Ted, who had grown a beard, wiped his mouth and wiped away the ale foam staining his beard, "We can't drink it every day, right?"

Pig Chop stared at the huge wine glass in his hand, "It's not convincing, meow."

"This is just ale, the alcohol content is not even ten, it's a soft drink, it's a soft drink!" Maka on the side waved her hands indifferently.

Hayata pursed her lips and refused to comment on such explosive remarks.

The two sides ate, drank and chatted for a while, and the topic naturally led to their respective tasks.

After listening to Ted's explanation, Gordon learned that the Alcohol Team accidentally discovered the hair of the Flame King dragon during the return trip after the mission to investigate the Broken Dragon.

There was no actual contact between the two parties, but this undoubtedly proved that Yanwangsaurus had set its sights on Laoshan Canyon.

After Ted and the others learned about the activation of the ancient dragon and the "Light of Life", they also expressed that they would pay special attention to it.

At this stall, even for ordinary tasks, you may encounter ancient dragons running around.

It's not bad for high-ranking teams like Jiuqu or Yinbian. Even if they encounter, they are sure to retreat safely.

But it's hard to say that for the young hunters in the fifth phase of the group.

Gordon plans to talk to the Commander-in-Chief later. Perhaps it is time to open up restrictions and let young hunters know more about ancient dragons, so that they can have more ability to protect themselves even if they encounter ancient dragons unexpectedly.

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot. We brought a souvenir for the pork chop when we came back this time. It's at Babaka's place." Suddenly remembering something, Oshula put down the wine glass in his hand and raised it towards Babaka. Lift your chin.

"Meow? A souvenir for me, meow?" He was stunned while holding a fish sausage and chewing on the pork chop.

"Kababa!"

The Qimian clan jumped off the chair and took out a large bottle from his luggage. There was a lot of moss stuffed in it, and some fluorescent yellow slime mold was mixed in it.
