Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Accommodating rationally?" Gordon repeated Hilda's words. He understood what the other party meant, but he didn't know what to do.

"Take this set of armor on me as an example. This set of armor is made of the materials of Lagarne (Golden Lion)"

"Instructor Hilda!" Fengying suddenly raised her hand.

"Little Fengying, do you have any questions?" Instructor Hilda asked patiently.

"That's right, I've seen my friends wear clothes made of golden lion fur. Isn't golden lion fur supposed to have that fluffy, golden look?"

"Hoohoo~."

Hilda smiled and said: "Your friend should be a fairly high-level swordsman, the Golden Lion's swordsman series of armor is indeed that exaggerated style of glittering gold, also known as the 'golden suit'.

The archer series armor is different, the archer does not need to be "conspicuous", so a lot of black hair of the golden lion is used to weave this thin but extremely strong fabric, which is a "black suit" that is completely different from the "golden suit". .

One more thing, it is very rare for swordsman series armor and shooter series armor to look completely different in appearance. "

"So that's the case." Fengying scratched her cheek.

It's embarrassing to say that her friend wasn't even a hunter, and she wasn't wearing armor, but a cloak made of golden lion fur.

"Okay, let's go back to the original topic first."

Hilda pointed to the black armor on her body, "The golden lion's ecological niche is comparable to that of the Tyrannosaurus rex, and its extremely violent and vengeful character also extends to the equipment.

But unlike the violent aggressiveness of the Tyrannosaurus armor, the Golden Lion armor will make it easy for the user to 'resent'. "

"Resentment?" Not only Gordon, but also Hayata and the others were curious.

"In short, if you are attacked by a monster, you will want to fight back very much. This is very similar to the golden lion, and it cannot tolerate any provocation.

Moreover, that is not an ordinary desire to attack, but, how to describe it, it feels a bit berserk. Hilda pinched her chin and described.

"There is a strong conflict with the 'stealth' effect at the core of this set of equipment." Anshir commented.

"That's right. If you can't adapt to this desire to fight back, you will jump out of your hiding place and attack with screams at every turn, so you can't talk about stealth." Hilda nodded her head.

"Then, how should we overcome it?" Gordon couldn't help asking.

"Don't listen carefully." Hilda pointed to Gordon, "It's not about suppressing or overcoming anything, but about adapting. Do you understand?"

"Accommodate." Gordon was lost in thought.

Hayata asked curiously: "That is to say, let go of these emotions to a certain extent, isn't it?"

"right!"

Hilda clapped her hands and said, "There are two key points, one is to maintain rationality, and the other is to adapt.

Let me give you an example. I was attacked by a monster. At this time, I really wanted to poke it in the face with an arrow. If I really rushed up in such a stupid way, it would not be called "compliance", but simply out of control.

But if I use rationality to channel this impulse, store it up, continue to lurk, look for key opportunities, and give the target a more violent and fatal blow, that is the so-called "rational compliance".

There is no need to forcibly fight against the negative effects of the Golden Lion Armor, but to use the influence of 'resentment' to turn negatives into positives and increase attack power. "

Gordon nodded thoughtfully.

Anshir, who likes to get to the bottom of it, suddenly asked: "Instructor Hilda, the so-called conformity and loss of control, the boundary is very blurred, how to define it?

For example, in order to save Alva, Gordon didn't draw his sword, but bumped a green bear beast to a halt with his shoulder, and then beat it away with his bare hands.

Is this situation out of control? Or do you mean compliance? "

"Little Anhill"

Hilda looked like she couldn't help you, "You've always been like this, it's too serious, many things are not as accurate as sniping, there are only two results of 'hit' and 'miss'."

Hilda turned to Gordon, and continued: "Like the example Anshir said, ask yourself, was it purely impulsive when you faced the blue bear beast with your bare hands, or was it more appropriate to rationally judge with bare hands?"

Gordon was silent for a while, "It's all there, maybe it's more impulsive, the desire to attack has been suppressed for a long time, and I want to express it."

"Well, that's what happened." Hilda said with a smile: "In fact, that state is very good. It not only makes use of the desire to attack, but also does not completely lose your mind. You have to slowly find a balance point that suits you.

After gradually adapting, you will be able to achieve the state of "rational adaptation" I mentioned.

You are a great swordsman, and being bold and aggressive is the combat style of most great swordsmen. You should also belong to this category, right?

If you control the depression too much, not only will you not be able to exert the full performance of this set of equipment, but it may even affect yourself in reverse, making you shrink back and forth. This is the most troublesome thing. "

Gordon folded his arms and nodded earnestly, "I understand, Instructor Hilda, I will try my best to find this balance point. Do you have any suggestions in this regard?"

"Actual combat, as much actual combat as possible, you can get the lowest level of weapons to fight against those second- and third-star monsters, big wild boar king, blue bear beast, water beast, these are all fine, and then gradually turn to more powerful opponents .

Equipped to the level of Tyrannosaurus armor, unless there are some adventures, it is already difficult to improve it. You will use it for many years, or even a lifetime.

It is very cost-effective to spend some more time to adapt to it and play its maximum performance.

Don't just regard it as equipment, let alone a dangerous 'enemy', treat it as your skin, as a part of your body.

Strong desire to attack? Get hungry easily? These are not side effects, these are all 'part of you'. "

"Mine, part of it?" Gordon held up the Tyrannosaurus helmet and looked at him for a while.

"Thank you very much, Instructor Hilda, I probably understand what you mean, I am one with it."

"That's almost what it means." Hilda smiled, but then her expression became serious again, "However, Gordon, and you, please keep this in mind.

High-level armor like the Tyrannosaurus set does have an impact on the mind, so I have always used the word "adaptation" instead of "fusion".

You can see it as a part of yourself, but you can't be one, know what I mean? "

Gordon opened his mouth, a little confused.

As a part of yourself, but can't integrate?

"If you completely let go of your mind and merge with it, you will quickly gain more powerful power, but you will also be very easy to get lost, your personality will change drastically, you will not want to take off your equipment, and you will even fall into madness.

Therefore, there are not a few high-level hunters who have mental problems. "

In Gordon's mind, he couldn't help but imagine himself incarnate as a humanoid Tyrannosaurus, crazily biting anyone he saw, and swallowed involuntarily.

"Instructor Hilda, is there any good way to avoid this from happening?"

"Hmm." Instructor Hilda pondered for a few seconds.

"There was no particularly good way to do it. Even I was affected to some extent. When I was provoked, I would become more irritable, such as my daughter. Forget it.

This is also one of the reasons why high-level hunters usually pay attention to the training of will and spirit.

However, in the early years, a master hunter shared some of his experience, and now most people will do this, and it feels pretty good, you can refer to it. "

When the young hunters heard this, they all pricked up their ears.

"At a subconscious level, set a switch for yourself."
