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

Link bent down, picked up a blue stone from the pile of stones and hung it around his neck.

[Ding, wearing the Wind Stone, you have acquired the skill: LV2 Hunger Resistance]

[LV2 Hunger Resistance: Greatly reduces the speed of hunger]

With a snap, Link quickly took off the protective stone that was the least useful to the foodie and threw it into the pile of protective stones.

"Damn, it reduces the speed of hunger. What's the use of this skill? I usually eat five, six, seven or eight meals a day. If I bring this thing, won't I only have two meals and then I won't be able to eat anymore."

The Stone Guardian's skills were just so magical sometimes, they couldn't be explained by the scientific evidence from Link's past life.

You said that this skill relieves hunger by slowing down the body's metabolic rate, but there are many things that don't make sense.

"I don't want to think about the things I can't figure out. I'll talk to Lisa about the price of the equipment."

"Okay, now we can slowly discuss the price of the equipment."

Link turned his gaze to Lisa, wanting to see why this girl had dragged him here.

"Hey, you're a big customer, aren't you? The residents of Rocklak come to me to sell their ores after every Dragon Festival. No matter how much I build up my coffers, I can't afford to buy so much ores. The only people who come to me to build a full set of alloy equipment are foreign hunters like you. This is one of my few sources of income."

"I see."

Link nodded suddenly.

No wonder Lisa seemed to be short of money even though she ran a very profitable blacksmith shop. This was probably the problem.

The ore that the blacksmith shop cannot consume will be purchased by traveling merchants and then shipped to all parts of the world via Lockrak's airships, boosting the local economy.

"Even if you say that, I can't afford hundreds of thousands."

After listening to Lisa's explanation, Link spread his hands helplessly.

As the saying goes, a penny can make a hero fall, and if you have no money, you have no money.

"Hey, here's the thing. I have a few commissions here that haven't been picked up for a long time, so I'd like to ask you to help me complete them. How about I give you a discount afterwards?"

As she spoke, Lysa took out a few commission slips from her pocket and handed them to Link.

Link took the list and glanced at the hunting target at the top.

[I want a hammer made of a dragon head shell]

[Mission star rating:]

[Task Nature: Crusade]

[Mission location: Dede Desert]

[Mission Objective: Hunt a Sand Dragon]

[Limited time: unlimited]

[Reward: 7800]

[Client: Lisa]

[Task Description: The staff in the store said that it is very laborious to forge iron with an ordinary hammer, and they hope to change to a more comfortable hammer. I heard that the head shell of the sand dragon is very hard and can be used as a substitute for the hammer. Please go hunt it.]

After looking at the hunting list for the Sand Dragon, Link flipped through it and found that they were all for preparing new props for the store employees.

Like hunting a water beast and using the sponge on its neck as a cool towel.

Hunt the Yellow Speed Dragon King and use its skin to make a new mattress or something.

There were even employees who thought the blade on the Thousand Blade Dragon head was very cool and wanted to use it to make a skinning knife.

The official seal of the guild is clearly printed at the bottom of the commission form, indicating that each task has been reported and approved in advance.

In Lockrak, local residents do not have a good impression of guild hunters, as they are often addicted to alcohol and rarely perform their duties seriously and complete commissioned tasks.

Therefore, the residents here prefer an informal approach: they will report the mission to the guild, and then privately seek assistance from familiar hunters to ensure that the mission can be completed smoothly.

Quite abstract.

It feels like everyone is an NPC who issues tasks.

"Alas, alcohol is very harmful to people."

Link shook his head, feeling helpless about the drunkards in the guild, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll take the mission."

Link shook the commission in his hand, indicating that he would take the task, and continued.

"Also, please help me make weapons first. I still have some savings here, enough to pay for the manufacturing costs."

As he spoke, Link fished out his purse from his pocket, took out enough money and handed it to Lysa.

"Okay, no problem. I guarantee that the weapon will be built within two days. You can take a break for two days and then go hunting with the new weapon. This thing is very useful. One shot can smash the skull of the sand dragon."

Lisa took the money with a smile, patted her chest confidently, and caused some waves.

"No, no, no, didn't you say that we should use the head of the Sand Dragon as a hammer? If we break it, the mission will fail."

Looking at Lisa's careless look, Link complained in his heart.

However, Link was still looking forward to the power of the guns that Lisa mentioned.

The power of a crossbow is different from that of a sword. For weapons like swords and hammers, the stronger the hunter is, the greater the power they can unleash.

The power of a crossbow is linked to the gun body and ammunition. The more advanced the gun, the harder the barrel, the more gunpowder it can be loaded with, and the more powerful the bullets fired are.

You can also further enhance its power by modifying various parts.

In the past, this would be considered illegal modification, as a weapon could be modified so badly that even its creator would be unrecognizable.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll go back to the Hunter's Guild first to handle the promotion mission procedures. Your three-star Earth Sand Dragon mission is pretty good."

"Walk slowly, welcome to come again next time."

Seeing that Link was about to leave, Lisa enthusiastically saw him to the door with a sincere smile on her face.

"Oh, woman, you just want the money in my pocket."

With his wallet shrunk significantly, Link could only return to the Hunter's Guild with a sad heart.

"Ah, Link, you're back. Rias was looking for you. She told me to let you know when you're back. Go find her in her room."

It was still early in the morning, and the sunlight filtered through the cracks in the windows, casting patches of light into the guild.

At this time, there was no one else in the guild except Luna, the poster girl.

She was wearing a light blue long skirt today. The hem of the skirt swayed gently with her movements. It was embroidered with delicate lace, highlighting her gentle temperament.

The white lace collar and cuffs add a fresh and refined feel.

Link deliberately chose to go out early in the morning in order to avoid the drunkards who were still not sober after a night of partying, so as not to be blocked by them at the door and delay his trip.

When Link heard that Rias was looking for him, his brows twitched involuntarily and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

But he had a clear conscience. He just happened to pass by her room yesterday and had not done anything wrong, so he was not panicked.

"Okay, here's the commission. Please help me change it into a promotion mission."

As he spoke, Link pulled out the request form for the Sand Dragon from his pocket, walked to the bar and placed it in front of Luna.

"Okay, let me see."

Luna put down the glass of strong alcohol in her hand, picked it up from the table, took a look at it, stamped it casually, and returned it to Link.

"What a casual attitude."

Seeing her like this, Link was speechless.
