In the end, Xiaohua and Jida still didn't find any useful materials.

Xiaohua was not surprised by this, after all, the place where the materials were stacked was almost deserted shortly after the hunting group went downhill, and in the past few years, people have been rummaging for a while, and it is already a very lucky thing to be able to find a piece of huilong.

What's more, with the same processing fee, if you forcibly add chaffinite to increase the green chop, the length of the green chop and the length of the yellow chop will be very short.

And as long as you cut it, you can get a pretty durable one.

With this in mind, Xiaohua asked Keida to carry a large pile of iron ore and followed her to a blacksmith shop.

Hammer of the Earth.

This is the name of this smithy.

Xiaohua rate advanced in the past.

I saw a tall man shirtless, directing the work of the apprentices.

"Uncle Kenzie!"

Xiaohua greeted.

The man heard Xiaohua's voice and stopped the trumpet, but the apprentices did not stop their work because of the disappearance of the trumpet, but kept persevering.

"What's wrong with Xiaohua, do you want to upgrade or repair your weapon?" As Uncle Kenzie spoke, a wave of heat rushed towards the two of them.

"Fix plus upgrade. Both. With that, Xiaohua handed him the ballista.

I saw Uncle Kenzi squint one eye and look into the muzzle of the gun with the other, and after just one look, he found the problem.

He looked away, frowned, and said, "Did you use the bullets you picked on the road again?" Look at so many rifts. How many times have I told you that bullets must be carefully polished before they can be used, otherwise they will only cause incomparably huge damage to the barrel. ”

Xiaohua stuck out his tongue: "Aren't I doing a four-star mission, it's normal to bring the bullets in the past." ”

"It's not normal." Uncle Kenzie didn't stop reprimanding Xiaohua because she was a girl: "A real ballista can repeatedly hit the same point on the monster's body, penetrate the carapace, and destroy its body. Thus using the minimum number of bullets, defeat the monsters. ”

"How is this possible? How accurate it was to shoot. ”

"There are these people." Kenzie muttered, but didn't dwell on the topic.

After saying that, he brought a table and three chairs, and put the ballista on the table.

Then sit down.

"Your ballista repair costs eight hundred silver." Kenzi said.

Xiaohua nodded, everyone is an acquaintance, this price Xiaohua is clear and authentic enough.

"As for upgrades, how much can you come up with for upgrades and materials?"

Xiaohua took out a bag, which contained one hundred and fifty gold coins. Then he took out another bag and took out a crystal from it, two kinds of three insects each.

"Light crystals, three sticky termites, three killer bee larvae, plus two thousand two hundred silver coins, right?" Kenzie is also a person who often comes into contact with gold coins, and he will come when he opens his mouth.

"That's right."

Receiving an affirmative answer, Kenzi thought for a moment and came up with three plans.

"The materials you give are very silver, which can give you three upgrade options."

"The first is to strengthen the barrel, so that it can withstand the wear and tear of more substandard bullets without excessive cracks."

"The second is to add some structures inside the barrel to promote the full combustion of gunpowder, so as to increase the power of the bullet without changing the type of bullet."

"The third is to directly thicken the barrel so that it can withstand more powerful bullets, thereby expanding the available ammunition."

"How, choose that?" After giving the plan, Kenzi slowly waited for Xiaohua's reply.

Truth be told, all three options are so good that it's hard to choose. The first one is to save on maintenance costs, the second is to increase the power, and the third is to expand the ammunition variety.

And Kida, who doesn't know anything about ballistas, can't give any advice.

Seeing that Xiaohua had difficulty in choosing, Uncle Kenzie slowly analyzed the pros and cons for her.

"Option 3 Expansion may seem tempting, but the way it increases damage is by using advanced but expensive ammos. And your financial income is not optimistic. So this one is ignored. ”

Xiaohua nodded depressedly in agreement.

"Then only one or two options remain. The first option is to reduce the wear and tear when you use homemade bullets, and when you use homemade bullets, you are basically hunting multi-headed monsters or difficult monsters in a row. If your next task is one of these types, then option 1 is much more cost-effective. ”

"The second option is to unilaterally increase your damage, but the degree of wear resistance is almost the same, and if your next task is that you can bring enough bullets, then the option is cost-effective."

After analyzing, Kenzie closed his mouth completely.

Xiaohua hesitated for a moment and said, "I choose to increase my power." ”

Kenzi nodded, beckoning a group of apprentices to bring the ballista and materials down.

"Is there anything else you need?"

Xiaohua suddenly came to her senses, and she pulled Kida in front of Kenzie: "He needs a 'good' sword. ”

"Okay." She repeated.

————————

The first time Luke got the money, he didn't quickly convert the money into equipment like Xiaohua Jida, nor did he soar in the ocean of poetry like the second mastiff, nor did he like Honkai, a guy with a full waist. Instead, he threw the money in his hand into the corner of the room and walked towards the Hunters' Guild without stopping.

He came to the Hunters' Guild and pushed open the door, where hunters sat in twos and threes, drunk or poring over the cost-effective tasks on the bounty board.

Rook came to Kanban Lady Anna and said in a deep voice, "Tell me about the current mission points of the Dragontail Squad." ”

Anna bit her lip dissatisfied: "You put me aside~"

This time, Rook didn't feel puzzled again, he stroked Anna's face: "If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home." ”

Anna hummed and agreed.

However, the style of painting changed abruptly, and Rook asked again, "Tell me about the team's mission points." ”

Fortunately, Anna also knows him quite well, so she quickly returned to work: "You have just completed the four-star mission to expel the female fire dragon, and your points have increased by one hundred, but due to your previous failures, your points are still negative." If you are not able to get your points back to 100 points in the quarterly settlement after one month and twelve days, then your Hunter Residency will be reclaimed by the Hunter Guild. ”

Rook's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "How many points are missing?" ”

"Two hundred and fifty."

"Looks like I just need to complete two four-star missions in a row."

"It's not you. It's you, you're too dangerous alone. Anna worried.

"I'll take notice."

At this time, other people from the guild walked in. It's Keida and Xiaohua. I saw that Xiaohua was a little vaguely indignant.

"Wow." Anna teased, "This is your team." ”

"That's right, it's my team." Rook smiled heartily.

I saw Keida and Xiaohua come to Kanban Niang and look at her.

"Is there anything you can help me with?" Anna smiled charmingly.

Xiaohua was dissatisfied: "Do you have to take a hunter's certificate to build a weapon now?" ”

Anna glanced at Keida, as if she was a little embarrassed, and instantly understood something: "This is a regulation from the royal capital, which indicates that when people build or buy hunting weapons, they must have a hunter's certificate to prove the hunter's identity. ”

"This regulation is useless! Who else would buy a weapon other than a hunter? That's a lot to do. ”

Anna smiled and shook her head, after all, this is the Hunters' Guild, even if you talk nonsense, no one will come to catch her.

"Maybe the royal family is trying to clean up the big city in this way? Or are you here to prepare and expand your army? Of course, this is all my speculation. ”

Xiaohua pursed her lips and ignored these things. She pulled Kidar over and said, "Come and register him as a hunter." ”

Anna quickly took out a piece of paper from the drawer and scribbled on it: "What's your name?" ”

"Keida."

Anna wrote the word Kida on a piece of paper.

"What weapons are you good at?"

Tai knife.

Anna drew the shape of a knife somewhere on the paper.

"Did you join any hunting groups or squads?"

"Dragontail." Luke answered for him.

Anna glanced at Kida and, in his absence of objections, wrote "Dragontail" on the paper.

After a few moments, she handed the paper to Keida, "You can take this paper to the blacksmith shop now to buy equipment, but you have to come back after buying this paper." ”

With that, the two left.

Rook: "Let's move on. What's there now..."

Anna slapped her head and exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Luke, who was interrupted, didn't mind, he asked.

"I forgot to tell him that he had to complete the introductory quest to become a real hunter. Although this status of a prospective hunter does not prevent him from buying weapons. ”

"I'll tell him when I get back, so what's the introductory task?" Luke, who had been out of the house for many years, asked.

Anna rolled her eyes: "It's to hunt a beaver beast independently." ”

Luke thought for a moment, a little unsure, "Beaver beasts are not a problem, but I remember that it seems to be the hunting ban period for beaver beasts, and they are not allowed to hunt beaver beasts. ”

But that doesn't mean newcomers can't. Newcomers can ignore the ban period, after all, everyone only has one introductory mission in their lifetime. ”

"That's good."

"Where did we just talk?"

Luke pondered for a moment: "I want to know what other four-star missions are available now. ”

Anna took out a thick picture book, looked at it for a while, and replied, "There are many." Similar to the task of expelling the female fire dragon, the crusade against the male fire dragon is 110 points. ”

Anna knew that Rook would not think about the honorarium for the time being, but instead about points, so she only said points.

"Expelling the Ceratosaurus, one hundred and ten points."

"Quest for the Exploration of Unknown Creatures, Seventy Points."

"Escort the bachelor into an unknown ancient ruin, through the sea of thundering sand, the difficulty is uncertain, the time is slightly longer, seventy points."

With that, Anna closed the book.
