Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 441 Advanced Equipment Usage Guide

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

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

"Instructor Hilda!" Feng Ying suddenly raised her hand.

"Child Feng Ying, do you have any questions?" Instructor Hilda asked patiently.

"That's right, I have seen friends wearing clothes made of gold lion fur. Shouldn't gold lion fur have that furry and golden feeling?"

"Huhu~."

Hilda smiled and said: "Your friend must be a very high-level swordsman. The Golden Lion's swordsman series of armors are indeed that kind of golden and exaggerated style, also known as the 'gold suit'.

The shooter series armor is different. The shooter does not need to be 'conspicuous', so a large amount of black hair from the golden lion is used, woven into this light but extremely strong fabric. It is a 'black suit' that is completely different from the 'gold suit'

.

One more thing, the appearance of the swordsman series armor and the shooter series armor are completely different from each other, which is very rare."

"So that's it?" Feng Ying scratched her cheek.

She was embarrassed to say that her friend was not even a hunter, and he was not wearing armor, but a large cloak made of golden lion fur.

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

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

But unlike the ferocious aggression of the Tyrannosaurus armor, the Golden Lion armor will make the user easily 'resentful'."

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

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

Moreover, it is not an ordinary desire to attack, but, how to describe it, a bit violent." Hilda pinched her chin to describe it.

"It conflicts greatly with the core 'stealth' effect of this set of equipment." Ancier commented.

"That's right. If you can't adapt to this desire to fight back, and you jump out of the hiding place to attack with noisy noises, you can't talk about covert actions." Hilda nodded.

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

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

"Accommodate." Gordon fell into thought.

Hayata asked curiously: "In other words, these emotions are allowed to be allowed to a certain extent, right?"

"right!"

Hilda clapped her hands and said: "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 stab it in the face with an arrow. If I rushed forward like this stupidly, it would not be called "compliance", but simply out of control.

But if I use reason to channelize this impulse, accumulate it, continue to lurk, look for key opportunities, and give the target a more violent and fatal blow, that is the so-called "rational adaptation."

There is no need to forcefully 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.

Ancil, who prefers to get to the bottom of things, suddenly asked: "Instructor Hilda, the so-called compliance and loss of control are very blurred, how do you define them?

For example, in order to save Alva, Gordon did not draw his sword. Instead, he knocked a green bear to a stop with his shoulder, and then beat it away with his bare hands.

Is this situation considered out of control? Or is it considered compliance?"

"Little Ancier"

Hilda looked helpless, "You have always been like this, too serious. Many things are not as accurate as sniping. There are only two results: 'hit' and 'miss'."

Hilda turned to Gordon and continued: "Just like the example Ancier mentioned, ask yourself, when you fought the Green Bear with your bare hands, was it completely out of impulse, or was it a rational judgment that bare hands was more appropriate?"

Gordon was silent for a while and said, "Both of them. Maybe he is more impulsive. He has suppressed his desire to attack for a long time and wants to express it."

"Well, that's what it is." Hilda said with a smile: "Actually, that state is very good. It takes advantage of the desire to attack without completely losing your mind. You have to slowly find a balance point that suits you.

After gradually adapting, you can achieve the state of 'rational adaptation' I mentioned.

You are a great swordsman. Being brave and aggressive is the fighting style of most great swordsmen. You should also fall into this category, right?

If you control and suppress it too much, not only will you not be able to bring out the full performance of this set of equipment, it may even affect you in turn and shrink your capabilities, which is the most troublesome."

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

"Practical combat, practice as much as possible. You can get the lowest level weapons to fight against those two or three-star monsters, such as the Big Boar King, Green Bear Beast, Water Beast, etc., and then gradually move on to more powerful opponents.

.

Once the equipment reaches the level of the Tyrannosaurus armor, it will be difficult to improve it unless there are some unexpected encounters. You will use it for many years, or even a lifetime.

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

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

Strong desire to attack? Easily hungry? These are not negative effects, they are all ‘part of you’.”

"Part of mine?" Gordon held up the Dino Tyrannosaurus helmet and looked at it for a while.

"Thank you very much, instructor Hilda. I probably understand what you mean. It and I are one."

"That's pretty much what it means." Hilda smiled, but then her expression became serious again, "But Gordon, and you, please keep one thing in mind.

High-level armors like the Tyrannosaurus suit have a real impact on the spirit, so I always use the word 'adapt' rather than 'integrate'.

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

Gordon opened his mouth, a little confused.

Consider it a part of yourself, but cannot integrate?

"If you completely let go of your mind and merge with it, you will quickly gain more powerful power, but it will also be very easy to get lost, have a drastic change in personality, be unwilling to take off your equipment, and even fall into madness.

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

In Gordon's mind, he couldn't help but picture himself transforming into a humanoid Tyrannosaurus, biting everyone in sight, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

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

"Yeah" Instructor Hilda pondered for a few seconds.

"Originally, there is no particularly good way. Even I have been affected to some extent. When I am angered by others, I will become more irritable, such as my daughter. Forget it.

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

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

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

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