Duzi was earlier than usual, and he didn't even want to waste time on eating, so he quickly washed up and dressed himself and planned to go straight to the market. As soon as he arrived at the door of the hotel, the young man seemed to remember something, and turned around to tell the owner of Wild Lily that he was going out for a while, and hoped that he would keep his house for a while and not rent it out to anyone else for the time being.

The negotiation process went very smoothly, after all, the hotel is rarely full, and the owner is also willing to keep this regular guest, and there is such a good status as a waiter. Eventually, for a modest fee, Douzzi temporarily took possession of the house.

It was a good start to the morning, as the governor walked briskly through the bazaar, shopping for food, potions, tents, and other essential supplies for survival in the wilderness at a few frequented shops. It's a lot of money, and even if you get some of it because of recent deals, it's still a bit painful. He comforted himself that this was a necessary investment before the harvest, threw the supplies into the carry-on space, and walked out of the city from the second east gate with ease.

From the perspective of ordinary games, this mission can probably be classified as an exploration and puzzle type, and the common routine is probably to go to the location of the incident to find clues, and then find the murderer under the guidance of the mission system, after which there will be several battles, and the player will struggle to kill the monster or enemy, and the mission can be successfully completed. However, when the mission is transferred to the real world, some things become completely different, and not to mention what will happen next, the journey to the location of the incident alone is enough to make many impatient players despair.

During this time, Dozi has explored many of the surrounding areas in order to uncover the black fog of some areas on the digital map. He thought he had been to many places, but compared to the area shown on the entire digital map, the black fog still covered most of the area. Even more desperate, even with such a large area on the map, the attack was outside the area according to the mission instructions, making it difficult for Duzi to estimate how much time it would take.

Of course, if one owns a mount, especially one that can fly, the journey will take much shorter, but neither the security deposit and guarantor required for the loan, nor the more outrageous purchase price, can afford to pay for it.

Fortunately, such a journey does not seem to be tiresome, and when Duzi was just an ordinary gamer, he was very envious of the adventurers in the game who could wander as they pleased, whether carrying a long sword or carrying a xylophone in their arms, measuring the world with their feet and encountering stories with their eyes. At the end of an adventure, the warrior sat quietly in the corner of the tavern, listening to the bard's beautiful songs. That kind of life always fascinates him.

He never imagined that one day he would have the opportunity to experience such a life for himself.

There weren't many buildings outside the city, except for a few thatched huts for farmers to rest, large farmlands and a stone road that stretched into the distance. These official roads are said to have been built at the joint expense of the neighboring city-states and the resident chamber of commerce, and although the roads are not very smooth, they are enough for pedestrians or motorcades to pass through.

Walking along the avenue to the east, the cheerful Duqi even hummed a song that he once liked very much. There is no erosion of industrialization and modernization in this world, and there is not even a complete country, although the area of each city-state is very large, but the protection of that land is the limit, and it is simply unable to expand and develop outward. When the farmland and the outposts on the edge gradually disappeared from view, they entered a no-man's land.

Empty...... Quiescence......

After about ten minutes, Du Qi saw a small stream, and he knew that from here all the way to the north, he would soon find a forest, where there were almost no bad demons, it was a relatively safe place to practice, and it was also one of the beginner places listed by players in the guide.

Obviously, Duqi's goal this time was not the forest, but he wouldn't be monotonous along the avenue, that would be too boring. According to the plan he had made last night, he would turn around here and head southeast away from the avenue to explore the area he had never been before. Admittedly, such a detour would have wasted some time, but he was not in a hurry to complete the task. After all, Du Qi had no way of knowing the true difficulty of this mission, so he could only try to find opportunities to improve himself. In his opinion, it is naturally best if it can be successfully completed, and failure will not make him feel annoyed, and figuring out the mechanics of the task is already a great success.

Duzi found a forest, and if the information he had previously investigated was correct, it should be known to the locals as "Green Man", a small and dangerous jungle. In fact, shortly after Duzi burrowed into the forest, he spotted a familiar light gray figure.

It was an adult spotted helmet over a meter long, with a flat, wide head hanging low and rummaging through the ground, making a high-pitched chirping sound from time to time.

"It has a small horn on its forehead, it's a female spotted helmet, so be careful." Duzi rubbed his hands together to dry the skin of his palms, then took his gear out of his carry-on space. Now, he is no longer the rookie he was at the beginning, and in a one-on-one situation, there is no reason to avoid this bad demon.

Based on his previous hunting experience, Du Qi knew that the spotted helmet had a keen sense of smell, but his eyesight and hearing were not strong points, and he could use this to make a preemptive strike to greatly save his physical strength. He carefully made sure that there were no other creatures around, and slowly moved towards the downwind position. He hunched down and approached his prey, slowing down his speed to make sure that Spotted Helmet could stop his movements as soon as he felt any sense. Before long, the prey was almost in sight.

Five meters, which is a limit distance found after many experiments.

At this distance, Du Qi could clearly see that the ears of the spotted helmet were shaking slightly, and the head that was constantly rummaging for the soil suddenly stopped moving, and there was a tendency to lift up. At that moment, the hunter unleashed all the power he had accumulated in his legs, instantly pulling the distance between the two sides to a meter closer.

"Fool, mistaken!" Du Qi secretly cursed himself in his heart, he started with a little unsteady feet, so that he did not achieve the desired effect.

Now, Spotted Helm is aware of his presence as well.

The female spotted helmet reacted quickly, and the opportunity to attack was fleeting, and Du Qi knew that he could not act rashly, so he decisively chose to take two steps back and put on a defensive posture. He knew very well that while the Spotted Helm wasn't a very powerful creature, it was notoriously hot-tempered, and when frightened, it wouldn't think about gains and losses like most creatures, but would attack any creature in sight at the cost of his life.

Sure enough, as soon as Duqi stood still, Spotted Helmet slammed his strong limbs into the ground and lunged straight at the enemies who had invaded his territory. The precautionary hunter took a step to the right without panic, and at the same time slapped his left hand diagonally from top to bottom, and the iron shield smashed firmly into the side of the Spotted Helmet, slamming it to the ground.

"I'm still moving a little slower." Du Qi shouted in his heart that it was a pity, if it had been smashed on the monster's head just now, it was guaranteed to make that little thing confused for a while.

With a successful blow, Du Qi took a step forward, and then quickly retreated, just selling a feint, and did not choose to continue the pursuit. This is also the routine he summed up after many battles, Spotted Helmet is a bad demon after all, the body structure is completely different from ordinary animals, and its strong resistance to blows and fierce personality will make it like a mad demon in battle.

The spotted helmet that fell to the ground was fooled, and it twisted its body to bounce off the ground like a spring, and grabbed a pair of front paws at the air several times. This attack had the flavor of a ruined ship, and if it hadn't been for Du Qi calculating the time to retreat, even if he could kill the Spotted Helmet, he would inevitably have to be scratched by the sharp claws.

A good hunter would never let a chance slip out of his hands again, and just moments after the monster's attack ended, he quickly took two steps to the right front, turned to the monster's side and back, and kicked it in the stomach with a flying kick. The powerful force caused the Spotted Helmet to soar into the air again, and the long sword in Du Qi's right hand swung out at the right time, hitting the Spotted Helmet's neck with precision, completely clearing the last bit of its HP to zero.

After completing a series of movements, Du Qi turned his head to observe the surroundings alertly, and after confirming that his situation was safe, he raised his sword and completely killed the spotted helmet who had passed out.

In the midst of lightning, the battle ended.

The hunter nodded, satisfied with his set of moves. Just a few days ago, he was still in a hurry by this bad demon, and he was almost about to flee. He still remembers very well that after a hunt, because he did not pay attention to his surroundings, he was attacked by another spotted helmet and almost died; On another occasion, his target did not die immediately after he fell to the ground, and the counterattack before death left a terrifying scar on the right eye of Du Qi, who stepped forward to investigate, and that kind of heart-piercing pain made him not want to experience it again in his life.

Thinking of this, Du Qi couldn't help but touch his intact right eye, and once again silently thanked the magical alchemy potion that existed in this world. His eyes weren't blinded, not even scarred, thanks to the potions' powerful effects. He even thought that if he could return to his own world, he would have to learn how to prepare these potions before leaving. If it can be successfully configured, it will definitely become a best-selling product in the world.

Ignoring the past and the future, Du Qi placed his right hand on the corpse of the Spotted Helmet, and after a few flashes of white light, a complete piece of fur had been stripped off. He shook his head, expertly tossed the fur into the storage space, and was about to get up and leave.

The hunter's movements suddenly stiffened, and two windows automatically popped up in front of his eyes, showing some information that he had never seen before. "It's ...... Bestiary? I've almost forgotten about it. He looked first at the window with more words.

Just now, the originally empty Bestiary had an entry for the Spotted Helmet after the battle, and the long bar marked with research progress in the rear had also been filled.

Duqi clicked on the entry, and a new window popped up, which was a text describing Spotted Helm.

"Mostly living in forested areas, the spotted helmet is a short-tempered, solitary creature with an average adult length of about one meter, and females tend to be larger than males. During the breeding season, the male will show his strength by fighting each other, and some scholars have even observed the female attacking the winning male until she is satisfied with the other person's performance. Because of this violent nature, the number of spotted helmet populations is always kept to a low level; Attributes: Blood E, Elemental E, Constitution D, Perception D, Agility D, Berserk D; Weaknesses: The Spotted Helmet's fur does not provide great defense, so it can be a vulnerable point all over its body, but given the creature's fur value, attacking the head is the best option. ”

"Hmm...... Some of the creature traits are introduced above, and the attribute rating is a bit clueless, so do you need more references? This is ......" Du Qi closed the illustrated window with a little regret, and his eyes fell on the other window. Behind his original skill items, which did not have much content, there was a sudden addition of a forging skill. "Could it be ......" a thought flashed through his mind, and his heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

The boy excitedly called up the forging window, and sure enough, there was an entry on it, and it was a brand new concept that he had never been exposed to before.

"Starry Night: This is the equipment designed by the Master Forge Fire General based on the characteristics of the Inferior Demon Spotted Helmet, and the red scales dotted on the black fur are like shining stars hanging in the night sky, mysterious and beautiful."

This line also provides a detailed description of the various parts of the set, including a helmet, armor, and weapons. In addition, the materials needed to craft the equipment are also listed, in addition to the monster's fur, leg bones, sharp teeth and other materials, you also need a number of ores called starry stones.

"Tsk...... It's not difficult to get the materials for the spotted helmet, although I sold a lot of them, but I also have some reserves on me, and I can get them together by hunting some later. It's just that so-called Starry Night Stone, hiss...... I don't think I've ever heard of it, but it's probably an ore. Du Qi stood there and thought for a moment, but finally suppressed the surging in his heart and decided to move on, "It's too much time to return to Flying Eagle City now, it's better to wait until the mission is over, if it's not any rare ore, it should be available in the bazaar." I really can't do it, so I asked the Shengyu Chamber of Commerce for help through favors. In this way, I have to be positive, otherwise there will be no bargaining chips. ”

The new equipment was out of reach, and the fire in my heart was half cold. Put away your regrets and the adventure will continue.

Since it was still early, Duqi opened the map to determine his location, and then continued to the east. With the idea of collecting materials, he didn't let go of any prey along the way, until it was getting late, and he hunted two more Spotted Helms, one step closer to his goal of collecting materials.

The area of the green forest is really not small, and considering that the idea of leaving the forest by starry night is not realistic, Duqi decides to find a suitable place to camp nearby, rest for the night, and then continue tomorrow. Unfortunately, he had no experience in the wild, so he relied on his physical strength to violently clear a small area, set up a tent on the spot, and used the magical gadgets called flint to light a bonfire, and a makeshift camp was completed.
