Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 175 Punishment

Anhill accepted a wave of accusations from Hurley and Feng Ying, but under the suppression of the triplets' elder sisters Hetty and Gordon, he did not continue to ferment.

There is no point in causing others to make noises about this kind of thing. To put it bluntly, it is just for fun.

After Ancier apologized seriously, Herta did not continue to show off her face. Putting aside personal relations for the time being, it was her job to receive hunters and handle various related matters.

"Mr. Gordon, Miss Feng Ying, and Mr. Sterling, your information has been registered and entered into the local file. Welcome to join the East Doruma Hunter Assembly."

Herta returned the hunter's note to them with a smile, and there was nothing unusual about her expression.

At least that's the case on the surface.

Feng Ying glanced at An Xier and wanted to say something more, but Gordon pressed her head down.

Then, he looked at the receptionist Herta and asked: "Miss Herta, I would like to ask if there is a mission to conquer the shield crab swarm."

"Okay Mr. Gordon, do you have any special needs?"

"The settlement reward needs to include 'Small Shrimp Shell'."

"Understood."

Herta nodded, and together with Hedy Heli, they quickly rummaged through several thick mission documents.

Feng Ying's eyes were shining brightly, and Anxil's matter was forgotten by her. She had wasted so much effort on crossing the swamp, wasn't it just for now?

A few minutes later, Hertha lined up five task documents on the counter and said with a smile: "There are five tasks in total that meet your requirements, do you?"

Before Heta finished speaking, Feng Ying couldn't wait to pick up her luggage and dumped all the bulging shield crab heads on the counter.

"It's all done! These are my credentials for defeating the Shield Crab!"

Triplets: "."

Gordon & Anhill: "."

Noticing the stiff expressions on everyone's faces, Feng Ying, who lacked experience in this field, finally realized that something was wrong with the situation.

"Eh?"∑(っ°Д°;)っ

Gordon stretched out his hand and hit her hard on the head. While knocking her into a squatting position with her head in her arms, he smiled dryly and said to Herta and the others:

"Ahem, what about that, can you pretend you didn't see it?"

"I saw it," the guild director's voice came faintly.

Gordon covered his face, feeling numb.

It is undoubtedly illegal to defeat small monsters in advance, collect the defeat vouchers, and then accept the task for settlement.

Although hunters often do this, they do it secretly.

For example, after accepting a task, you can come back a few days later to settle the task, pretending that you have just completed it.

Experienced guild staff can easily judge from the freshness of the materials that these monsters were defeated before the mission was accepted.

But out of the mentality that one thing is worse than one thing less, most of the time it is just a matter of turning a blind eye.

However, people like Feng Ying not only accumulated the number of multiple missions at once, but also showed off all of them at once in front of the guild manager.

Outlaws belong to the category

Not only Feng Ying, but also Gordon and Ancier were also affected. They were dragged aside by the dark-faced guild manager and received several hours of education on ecological protection concepts.

The reason why the guild prohibits this behavior is simple.

The mission entrustment of hunters is never determined casually, and it involves complex ecological balance considerations.

Take the crusade against Blue Velociraptor as an example.

If it is necessary to reduce the population of blue velociraptors in the Xiuretsen Hills area, the guild will set up multiple tasks and assign hunters to carry out expeditions in order to achieve the overall goal of stable reduction.

And concentrating on this kind of behavior is equivalent to wiping out the blue velociraptor species on a certain mountain.

Although the number of blue velociraptors killed by the two is the same, the latter may cause a more serious ecological disaster.

"There are at least 120 shield crabs here. You won't really kill all the shield crabs in a certain area, will you?" The guild director's expression was stern, completely different from the kind and kind look at the beginning.

"Suck it, no, really no"

Feng Ying, who had received a lot of education, sat on her knees and snorted, "I, I came all the way from the Kurbutios Wetland, and I collected these along the way, sniff."

The guild leader looked at Gordon and Ancil.

The two repeatedly assured that Feng Ying was telling the truth.

"The little girl really didn't lie." came a gentle, slightly hoarse male voice.

Everyone subconsciously turned around and saw that it was a man in his fifties.

He was wearing a brown robe, had dark skin, was not tall, and even looked a little sickly. He was holding a bamboo umbrella in his hand like a cane.

Gordon also noticed that the joints of his fingers were very thick, showing obvious signs of years of use of weapons.

The exposed head and face outside the robe were also covered with scars, especially the one on his cheek, which almost divided his entire face into two halves.

Anhil glanced at the visitor in surprise, as if he knew him.

The man came to the pile of shield crab head shell fragments in front of Feng Ying and squatted down. After picking and observing for a while, he said:

“Although Curbutios and Dontrad are both wetlands, their environments are different, and there are subtle differences between the shield crab populations that inhabit them.

This can be seen from the carapace patterns, and the freshness of these carapacees varies greatly, so it is unlikely that they were concentrated in one area."

The director of the guild looked better after hearing this, "Since it is your judgment, I naturally believe it. Fortunately, it is like this, otherwise it would be a big trouble, and a special investigation team would have to be sent to confirm the ecology."

Feng Ying glanced at the man gratefully and mumbled "Thank you."

The guild director, who was about the same height as Feng Ying who was sitting on the ground, walked up to her, hugged his chest and said, "I won't punish you extra this time, but these carapace will have to be confiscated.

If I don’t teach you little guys a lesson, you’ll just do whatever you want all day long! If this continues, are you really not afraid of the ‘Guild Dark Night’ coming to your door?”

"Oh." Feng Ying, who had been severely punished, did not dare to express her opinions at all. Gordon and Anxier also stood aside with their necks hunched.

Feng Ying didn't know what "Guild Dark Night" was, but they did.

On the surface, it is an elite unit belonging to the guild knights, but in fact, it is the "executor" of hunters who seriously violate discipline. (Official novel setting)

The mysterious man put one arm in his clothes, holding an umbrella with one hand and said: "You should learn a lesson.

But supervisor, this little guy has just conquered so many shield crabs. If he confiscates them all, and hunts them again, will the number of shield crabs be reduced too much?"

The guild director said with a dark face: "Then if you say that, you can't punish her?"

The man scratched his short, short hair and said with some embarrassment: "Punishment is definitely unavoidable, what do you think?

Calculate the number of shield crab carapace and cancel the corresponding expedition mission, but the mission reward will not be calculated, nor will it be included in the number of missions she completed."

The director of the guild looked better after hearing this.

The man's suggestion was of no benefit to Feng Ying, it was simply to avoid excessive attack by the shield crab.

"But, blindly imposing confiscation and punishment would be a bit dehumanizing." The man looked at Feng Ying's equipment and continued:

"If you are a girl of this level, and you hunt down a large number of shield crabs, she should be collecting 'shrimp shells' to make a lobster suit. Can the supervisor please give me the face to give her the shrimp shells in the settlement reward alone?"

Feng Ying sniffed hard and looked at the guild director expectantly with her eyes wide open.

The guild director's expression changed several times, and finally he let out a heavy sigh.

"Write a review for me first, and don't do it next time!"

ps. Poaching is still quite serious in the original worldview, especially large monsters. If encountered in the wild, hunters cannot actively hunt them. Of course, it will be fine if they fight back to protect themselves.

Anxier acted relatively indifferent before, mainly because, well, his family was rich and powerful.
