The truck that "escorted" the Great Monster Bird was handed over by the staff of the Hunters' Guild outside Minagard City, and they will deal with the Great Monster Bird according to the situation.

Maybe it's to decompose the material directly, or maybe it's sent to the training camp arena to facilitate the young hunters to conduct actual combat training, or maybe it's sent back to a certain mountain to balance the local ecology.

Anyway, in either case, the Hunter Guild will provide him with additional rewards and material rewards, all in all, it is more cost-effective than hunting directly.

It's just that the process of catching, transporting, and handing over is more cumbersome, so hunters are not willing to spend this amount of work every time.

By the time Gordon returned to the Hunters' Gathering, it was already dark.

The tavern area is at its busiest during the day, as drunkards like to drink after dark.

A tall, thin male hunter noticed that it was Gordon who pushed the door into the assembly hall and immediately shouted a few times to silence the guys around him.

Then, he raised his glass to Gordon and made a toast, tilting his head to see how the latter reacted.

Everyone knows that Gordon took a three-star emergency mission and went hunting monster birds alone, so this glass will be a celebratory wine? Or is it a sorrow-poured wine?

"Do you need to ask?" Gordon grinned and made a painful neck drink, "It's our turn to have a drink!" ”

Suddenly, cheers, table slapping, and whistles came and went, almost tearing off the ceiling of the assembly hall.

"Wow~! Banzai! ”

"Eighteen-year-old three-star hunter, Gordon's little brother is awesome!"

"Let's drink!"

"Full on full!"

Finding an empty seat at random, Gordon sat down with a pork chop.

"Have a good drink tonight!"

"Ahh

The next morning, Gordon got out of bed with his head in his hands.

He did drink a lot last night, and he naturally had to drink a good time, but he drank ale until he got drunk, and the headache of the hangover the next day was just as pleasant.

Even the pork chop is the same, the little guy has drunk several glasses of Mutian Li's sweet wine specially provided by the hunting cat, and now he is still curled up in his kitten nest and rolling, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get up before noon.

Running into the bathroom, taking a cool shower, and pouring a belly of water into the faucet, Gordon finally felt more comfortable.

Leaving a note for the pork chop lying in bed, Gordon left the cottage alone and went to the first-floor hall.

"Huha~"

The lady on duty at the counter this morning is Tiki, and yawning when she meets her seems to have become her unique way of greeting.

"Ah~, isn't this a new three-star hunter who didn't even hand in the task after coming back last night, and just ran to drink until he vomited?" Tiki teased with her chin on her chin.

Gordon smiled wryly and handed over his hunter's notes, "Aren't we going to make up for it early in the morning?" ”

"How, are you hurt?" Tiki took Gordon's notes and casually chatted with the latter as she went through the task settlement procedures.

"There were a few twists and turns at the beginning, but then it was very stable!" Gordon gave a thumbs up and asked, "By the way, is the Elder in the assembly hall today?" ”

"Yes, it won't delay your official promotion~!"

Hunter rank promotion is not a casual matter, and the only person who can put a star mark on the cover of the hunters' notes is the person in charge of the hunter guilds in various places.

After completing the task settlement procedures and handing over the reward to Gordon, Tiki left the counter and took Gordon to the president's lady.

Gordon is a normal promotion, has accumulated a sufficient number of two-star tasks, and successfully completed the three-star emergency mission, so there will naturally be no problems in the promotion process.

When they left the president's office, the two and a half stars on the cover of Gordon's hunter's notes finally became serious three stars.

From now on, he's a true three-star hunter!

As a monster hunter, Gordon's income level is quite good in the whole of Minagal City.

But those who know him well know that this is a guy who doesn't enjoy life.

On weekdays, in addition to basic expenses such as rent and food, I occasionally take pork chops for a big meal and a tooth sacrifice, and I haven't even bought a set of new clothes.

This kind of consumption habit that is not an ascetic, but can definitely be called a "diligent and thrifty housekeeper", has helped him save a lot of money.

According to locals like Ted Oshura, the money he saved as a groundhog was enough to buy a small home outside of the city center.

Gordon certainly doesn't have the idea of saving up to buy a house, at least not yet.

He's just not interested in those days of drinking, and if it's really necessary to spend, he thinks he's still very generous.

For example, now, he paid the workshop owner more than 20,000 gold in one go, which is almost the money for a toilet!

"Well, your new armor is there, go check it out." The owner of the Dragonman Workshop crossed his arms, raised his chin and pointed to the two equipment racks by the wall, one large and one small, his tone seemed casual, but with a smug taste.

There were two bright orange-red outfits, one for hunters and the smaller one for hunting cats.

"Oooo My Big Monster Bird Set! ”

"Meow!"

Gordon and the pork chop scurried up, stroking and surveying their new armor.

As the name suggests, this set of equipment uses a large number of carapaces, scales and wing membranes as the main materials, and a small amount of auxiliary materials such as keel and athlon skin as lining, providing hunters with good defense capabilities while being very lightweight.

In terms of styling, it gives people an aggressive look, and the wrists, the ends of the skirt, and the shoulders are full of orange-red spikes, which seem to be stabbed if touched lightly.

"According to your request, I have used a large amount of armor jade to strengthen it to the limit, as for the higher-level armor jade, strong armor jade or something, there is no need, and I don't have it in my hand.

When you have a chance to get your hands on a lot of them, it's time to put on a higher level of armor. The workshop owner threw a chewing cigarette into his mouth and chirped.

The so-called armor jade is a special class of non-metallic minerals, in addition to carrying a mine pickaxe to try their luck, when successfully completing the task, the Hunter Guild will also reward a little bit, which is quite valuable.

This ore cannot be used directly to craft equipment, and its only purpose is to "strengthen".

After special treatment by craftsmen, it can be used to fill the gaps inside the armor material, so as to achieve the effect of improving the strength of the armor.

Gordon once owned three armor sets, the Hunter set, the Blue Speed Dragon set, and the Refined Ore set.

Due to the low level of these armors, it is not worth spending armor jade to strengthen them, so the armor jade in Gordon's hand has been saved, just left for the Great Monster Bird suit!

"Oh, how much more defense can you increase in that way?" Gordon asked, his eyes sparkling.

"Thirty to forty percent."

"Then, if you use a higher level of upper armor jade, solid armor jade, sharp armor jade and even heavy armor jade, what can you strengthen it into?" Gordon asked, curious.

When the workshop owner heard this, he looked back at a foolish look, "The big monster bird suit doesn't need the latter two, if you use the armor jade on your feet and the solid armor jade that only a high-ranking hunter can get, the defense performance can probably be doubled." ”

"Oooh!"

"Oh yes! That's enough for you to change a set of high-level armor, okay? ”
