One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

"Ugh."

Link pressed lightly on his temples, his fingers circling helplessly on his forehead.

"I never thought that I would have a day where I would be troubled by money."

However, Link is not an isolated case. In the hunter circle, most people have such troubles.

Every hunter knows that a good set of equipment is essential to being successful in the hunting field.

The quality of equipment often determines the success or failure of hunting, just like a warrior's armor, which is both a guarantee of self-defense and a symbol of combat effectiveness.

But here comes the problem.

The creation of this equipment is like a high wall standing in front of the hunter.

Which of those exquisite weapons and sturdy armor is not expensive?

I want to build equipment, but I don’t have enough money. What should I do?

There are no banks to rob in this world.

Even the bravest hunters must abide by the rules of this world. They can only rely on completing hunting commissions one by one, accumulating those cold metal currencies bit by bit with hard work and unremitting efforts.

This process is like a snail crawling, slow and arduous.

What limits a hunter's level is not only strength, but sometimes money.

Link actually has quite a bit of savings, which is given to him by his mother every year when he meets her. The amount is not much, but not too little either. It’s mainly because his mother hopes that he can be self-disciplined and not rely too much on his parents.

After all, flowers that grow out of greenhouses are most likely to die.

The same goes for hunters.

"Forget it, let's wait for the armor. What about weapons? What kind of weapons can be made with these ores?"

Link tapped the ore on the counter gently. The ore shone coldly under the light. He turned around and asked Lisa.

"The heavy crossbow of the ore series can be used to build a meteorite rocket launcher. If you have prison rock, you can build a higher-level meteorite cannon."

Lisa's eyes lit up slightly when she heard Link's words. She glanced at the slightly plain bone launcher on Link's back and said hesitantly.

"Meteorite Cannon?"

Link nodded. From the name, he knew that this weapon was extremely violent, a direct transition from a launcher to a cannon.

But judging from Lisa's hesitation, it must be expensive.

"What about the price?"

Seeing Link asking the price, Lisa suddenly became excited. She took out a keyboard from somewhere and started calculating.

Then tell him the calculated weapon strengthening method.

"The most basic meteorite rocket launcher only costs 1875. If you use ore to strengthen it, the price will get higher and higher. I suggest you buy some prison rocks and build a meteorite cannon directly. It's more cost-effective."

"You still have Prison Rock here?"

"Well, in order to build a furnace with a higher temperature, I commissioned hunters to go to the volcano to collect a lot of it. Now there is still some left in the warehouse."

"It's not cheap."

Link noticed the look in Ryza's eyes, which was extremely similar to the first time they met.

That's the look of someone meeting a fat sheep.

Lysa smiled, not caring about Link's gaze.

"Hey, to build a meteorite cannon, you need eight fist-sized pieces of prison rock, a total of . The forging price of a meteorite rocket launcher is . Total, I'll give you the decimal point and charge you. What do you think?"

"It's expensive. Goodbye."

Hearing this, Link turned and left.

The price of a weapon was enough to drain Link's bank account, forcing him to live frugally for a long time to come.

"Don't go, sir. I'm counting on selling you the prison rock that's used to press down my warehouse. If you leave, how am I going to survive?"

Lisa suddenly rushed over in a funny way and hugged Link's thighs.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding customers and employees all looked over, looking as if they were enjoying a good show.

The title of the play is "Initiative and Ending".

"Fuck, let me go, you profiteer, stop treating me like a scumbag."

Seeing the enthusiastic looks from the crowd, Link felt that if he didn't push this guy Lisa away, his romantic affairs would probably spread throughout the whole of Rocklak tomorrow.

Like a very handsome guy who played with the owner of a blacksmith shop and didn't take responsibility.

"Okay, get out of the way, let's talk inside."

Link pressed Lisa's head. This girl really didn't know how to write the word "morality". The big thunder on her chest kept rubbing against Link's thigh.

That's not how seduction is used.

At least take off your clothes.

"Great."

Seeing that there was business to be discussed, Lisa's voice was like a clear silver bell. She jumped up excitedly, and her movements were so big that the proud weapons swayed, leaving dazzling phantoms.

"Come on, let's go into the details!"

As Lisa spoke, she stretched out her hand impatiently, pulled Link with her long legs and walked into the back of the blacksmith shop.

Although the two left, their departure caused ripples in the surrounding eyes.

The customers and employees in the blacksmith shop watched them leave as if they were watching a couple having an affair.

Of course, there are also envious and jealous eyes.

After all, it's a perfect combination of big thunder and long legs, who doesn't like it.

Ryza held Link's hand tightly and walked through the smithy behind the blacksmith shop to her secret workshop.

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, it seems particularly quiet and peaceful here.

"Hey, here we are. Welcome to Ryza's alchemy workshop."

Lisa pushed open the iron door of the workshop and took Link into this secret hut that belonged to her.

As Link entered the room, his eyes were drawn to the huge alchemical cauldron in the middle of the room.

It stands quietly on a stone pedestal, with colorful liquid flowing inside. It is surrounded by various bottles and jars containing the body organs of various monsters.

The rare materials that Link is familiar with include dragon's reverse scales, hearts, teeth, eyeballs, dragon jade, and dragon horns.

Link saw it and just wanted to turn around and leave.

"Fuck you, you rich woman, you have so many valuable things at home, yet you come to me, a two-star hunter, to cry poor."

"So, why did you drag me here? To show off your wealth?"

After Link's eyes swept over those precious materials, he turned back to stare at Lisa's fair face and asked.

"Hey."

Having forgotten to put the materials away, Lisa smiled foolishly and spoke.

"Don't underestimate the value of those materials. Alchemy consumes a lot of materials. Sometimes, even ten reverse scales may not be enough to make a good protective stone. It would be a huge loss if you sell it."

As she spoke, Ryza ran to the shelf, pulled out a box, and dumped a pile of protective stones of various colors in front of Link like garbage.

The protective stone looks like a teardrop-shaped pendant tied with a thin string, and the pendant is about five or six centimeters in size.

Just hang it around your neck and keep it close to your body to activate the accompanying skills.

Since wearing more than two amulets on the body will cause rejection, usually only one can be carried.

These protective stones are different from each other, and some pendants have circular inlay holes of different sizes, where a special prop can be inlaid.

Jewelry beads.

When Link first saw this thing in the Hunter's Manual, he felt it looked very familiar.

Because the setting of this thing is very similar to the gems inlaid on equipment in the ancient "Legend" game.

It also looks like the orbs made from monster cards in the poisonous milk powder.

The effect is similar. When embedded in equipment holes and protective stones, it can increase the level of skills.
