Monster Hunting High School

There are different shades of black on the map. The only thing they have in common is that they look like living things, like smoke or running water, slowly rising and falling on the thick cortical base.

"The darker the black, the greater the risk in the corresponding area; the more intense the black fluctuations, the higher the frequency of danger in the corresponding area."

Old Man Verne's fingertips traced across the drawings, his voice was calm and his expression was calm: "...but at the same time, they also mean that the reward points will be richer."

"Your task for this trial is to explore at least one black area and make complete records. This includes the corresponding terrain, hydrology, types, quantities, and magic power of plants and animals in the exploration area, as well as possible mineral deposits. , etc. If possible, eliminating pests in the exploration area can help you get extra bonus points.”

"This is a list of pests...well, one more thing. Everything you gain in the process of exploring and eliminating pests, except for the need to make specimens, everything else belongs to you."

The old wizard took out a piece of parchment from the side and handed it to Zheng Qing.

The names of many magical pests are densely listed on the paper, such as goblins, fence goblins, mutated earth dragons, piranhas, rotten worms, ogres, Deng's termites, etc., and the names correspond to their respective reward points - —Most of the rewards are less than two points. In some cases, such as giant mutated earth dragons, two-headed ogres, large-scale Dengshi termites, etc., the reward points can reach four or even five points.

Seems pretty fair.

"Are the points for each exploration area here fixed?" Xiao Xiao pushed up his glasses and approached the huge map. The lenses were almost attached to the parchment: "... Assistant Professor Hilda told us, There will be ten points for each completed item, but you also mentioned that the darker the area, the more points will be awarded.”

"It's not a contradiction."

While paying attention to the plan of a little witch trying to jump on the dining table a few steps away, the old man explained calmly: "The basic score for exploring each area is ten points, regardless of color... and based on the threat of species or pests in the area You can also get additional rewards.”

"Is there an upper limit on rewards?" Fatty Xin gave full play to his keen sense of smell from reporters.

Old Man Verne hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head slowly: "Not yet... This is also to remind you that in the process of opening up the new world, any danger will come inadvertently. Staying vigilant at all times is sufficient but not necessary to ensure safety. Necessary conditions.”

This is not the first time that the young wizards of the Exoneration Hunting Team have heard similar words today.

Jiang Yu raised his hand, and the old man nodded.

"You just mentioned that this is a new world," she asked seriously and seriously, as if asking a question in class: "I want to confirm if we can know more specific information about this world, such as nature. The strength of the law, Flick’s preparation time, or the dimensional coordinates of the world?”

Zheng Qing noticed that Zhang Jixin's face turned darker.

These words should have been consulted by him, the chief hunter of the Exoneration Hunting Team, but Zhang Jixin had just focused all his attention on choosing the color of the map, completely forgetting the standard procedure for a hunting team entering a strange hunting ground.

It is also because this campground with complete facilities gives people the illusion of a familiar and safe environment.

"This is a private territory affiliated with First University. The world dimensional coordinates have only been briefly reported to the Alliance."

Old Man Verne first politely rejected the witch's last inquiry, and then answered her first question: "The strength of the laws of nature is currently about 0.8, but it is still rising... I can only tell you , fortune tellers predict that in the short term - well, this short term refers to ten years or even longer, in terms of world history - in the short term, the strength of the natural laws of this world may rise to 1.5, or even higher..."

The strength of natural law is a more popular term, which can be roughly understood as the strength of using magic in a world. The higher the natural strength, the greater the power of the corresponding magic; the lower the strength, the less powerful the magic.

For example, the current natural strength is 0.8, which means that if the fireball in First University is defined as a standard fireball with an intensity of 1 when the fireball technique is also used, then the fireball in this world can only reach 0.8 times the standard fireball.

The rapid increase in natural intensity means that this is most likely a world that has just been born or is undergoing a baptism of magic tide.

Regarding this point, the hunters of the Forgiveness Hunting Team were no longer novices, so they could naturally hear the implication of the old man's words, and they all showed thoughtful expressions.

"As for Flick preparations."

Having said this, Old Man Verne looked at the young wizards with a subtle expression, paused, and then said softly: "Originally, I have boiled a pot of broth for you, but now it seems like a waste..."

The so-called Flick preparation means that when a wizard enters a new world and discovers that the rules of the new world deviate greatly from the original world - this is almost inevitable - he then consumes a potion made from local food and waits for the cells around his body to After the update is completed and the magic power and breath are integrated with the new world, preparations can be made for further activities.

It takes an ordinary wizard about ten to a month to complete the preparation of Flick; powerful wizards can quickly shorten this time by stimulating the magic power throughout their body. It may only take a few minutes or even ten seconds for them to complete breath fusion and cell replacement. .

Without Flick's preparation, after exhausting the magic power originally stored in the body, if the wizard tries to use magic forcibly in the new world, he will suffer from dizziness, bleeding from internal organs, eyes and nose, amnesia, continuous decline of magic power, and other unknown curses. , in serious cases, it may even show certain memetic symptoms, causing irreversible strong pollution to the surrounding environment and the person themselves.

At present, after continuously using flying spells and other spells, the magic reserves in the bodies of several young wizards have been reduced to a very dangerous level, and they urgently need to complete the preparations for Flick.

"waste?"

Jiang Yu frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite understand what the old man meant.

"You are a good and cautious boy."

Old Man Verne first praised the witch, and then glanced at the other careless wizards: "...From the beginning to the end, you have restrained your magic power very well and did not rashly exchange energy, so you probably didn't pay attention. Come on, you guys - except for that little guy - are unusually adaptable to this world."

The ‘little guy’ in the old man’s mouth is naturally Li Meng.

The few wizards who were secretly despised by the old man were each thicker than the last. They pretended not to understand the old man's contempt and continued to record the map hanging on the wall seriously and intently.
