0017 teammates
The big sword is slashed forward, and the insect stick is strutted.
The knife is swung and the sledgehammer is smashed.
....
On the training ground, the use of various hunting weapons is staged in turn.
Each student will be tested for proficiency in a weapon with at least two or three instructors who are familiar with the weapon, who will be on hand to proctolate the test.
When Li Ming appeared on the stage with a shield axe on his back, the solemn faces of the instructors retreated to both sides.
Wood, who was holding his arms behind him, strode out.
The two stood facing each other head-on, looking at each other briefly.
"Li Ming, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"Let's get started."
Wood took a step back.
"Shield axe, weapon holding stance!"
Li Ming grabbed the hilt of the sword in his hand, swung the shield axe in front of him, and completed the weapon splitting.
With the posture of the left shield and the right sword, stand firmly.
Sword Slash, Shield Slash, Charge Double Slash, Energy Bottle Refill, Transformation Slash...
Whew~Bang~...
Li Ming's footsteps moved, and the shield and sword he used were either slashed or slashed, attacking in various postures.
The heavy shield axe was in his hand, and he looked very nimble.
If there is a shortcoming, it is the lack of strength, which causes the bone shield axe to always have a feeling of vanity when it is used, as if it will come out of his hand at any time.
"Li Ming! Shield Axe Basic Mastery Test Complete! â
Wood finished speaking, and took notes on the scroll with a quill.
After Li Ming calmed down, he asked, "Instructor, aren't you taking the attribute liberation slash, high-pressure attribute slash, and attribute strengthening whirling slash?" â
"Those are the assessment content of the hunter after three stars."
Wood explained.
Li Ming combined the assessment scene he saw before, and then he understood.
A one-star hunter does need to be proficient in hunting weapons, but only to the basics.
If the full moon is combined, the flying dragon sword or something joins in, then I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can be selected as a one-star hunter at the juvenile stage.
Just like the previous Waxiu, if he can master the ghost dance when he is two stars, he is already regarded as a genius by Wood.
"Then you instructed me to try to practice these high-level moves..."
"There is no harm in starting contact early, and in actual combat, you should keep in mind that it is the safest and most reasonable way to hunt by combining teammates to kill monsters in the most pragmatic way, and don't be obsessed with such and such a move, and ignore the essence of hunting, so as to put yourself and your teammates in a dangerous situation."
Wood informed.
"Sounds like a super-solution... This mentor, what is my rating, can you tell us about it? â
"It's not very high, let's wait for the announcement of the end of the assessment."
With that, Wood left.
Li Ming thought for a moment, feeling that he had not made any major mistakes, and he should theoretically be able to pass, so he relaxed his mind and came to the training ground fence to rest.
Seeing Mi Duoduo waiting on the stairs with a confused face, Li Ming asked curiously: "Did you fail the hunting cat exam?" â
"I haven't announced the results yet, but there is an assessment item, which is a little incomprehensible."
"Tell me about it."
"Think of the stake as a hunter's meow and hit it with all your might... I couldn't get a claw, so I got a very low score. â
"This... It should be an assessment that simulates the hunter after falling into an abnormal state and letting the hunting cat wake him up. â
"So that's how it is!"
Midodo's eyes widened and his ears pricked up.
"Am I stupid..."
Soon, Midodo lowered his head and sighed
The duo of Li Ming and Mi Duoduo is actually a halfway monk.
The difference is that compared to the familiarity with the hunter's profession, Midodo's understanding of hunting cats is very limited.
"Don't be stupid, your ability to survive in the wild, even many full-time hunting cats don't have, don't be pressured, even if you can't pass the test this time, I'll take you out to hunt a few more times, accumulate actual combat experience, and ensure that you can pass it at one time."
Li Ming said comfortingly.
"It's not a hunting cat, can you also participate in hunting?"
"Of course, no one will delve into this kind of thing, but the security will definitely be worse."
Li Ming informed.
"That's great!"
Midodo jumped for joy.
As the subsequent exams were completed, everyone came to the guild hall to wait for the results.
Since there is no ranking in the Hunter Exam, the results are announced in order of seating.
When reading Li Ming's results, Shilin looked slightly stunned, and raised her hand to the Ailu Cat Drum Band on the stage in the hall.
The crooked cats immediately sat up straight and picked up their instruments.
Shi Lin cleared her throat and announced in a solemn tone: "Li Ming, 50 points in the hunter basic knowledge test, 47 points in the physical fitness test, and 50 points in the shield axe basic use proficiency test, a total of 147 points, 140 points higher than the standard score, I am allowed to become a hunter and be awarded the one-star hunter medal!" â
Dangdang~Dangdang~Dangdang~Dangdang~Dangdang~Dangdang...
As the certificate of the hero was played, applause rang out in the hall, and many of the references who failed to pass immediately got rid of their depression, looked at Li Ming, who was the first to pass the assessment, and cheered.
Li Ming stood up, raised his hands high, and greeted the applause and cheers.
It seems that those 3 points should have been thrown on the lifting stones...
He had expected to become a hunter, but it was somewhat unexpected to pass with such a high score.
"Oh!"
Soon, Shireen, who was reading the results, paused again, and the Elu Cat Drum Band, who had just wanted to take a break, could only pick up the instrument again.
"Chu Ying, 50 points in the hunter basic knowledge test, 46 points in the physical fitness test, and 50 points in the basic crossbow proficiency test, a total of 146 points, 140 points higher than the standard score, was allowed to become a hunter and awarded the one-star hunter medal!"
Dangdang~Dangdang~Dangdang~Dangdang~Dangdang~Dangdang...
Chu Ying stood up and accepted the cheers with a light smile.
In the whole hall, only Bubu's eyes were slightly dull, and he didn't seem to be very happy.
At the end of the exam, at the counter, Shireen and another receptionist burned a message on the back of the Hunter's Medal.
"Wait a minute, you two, it'll be right away."
"No hurry, thank you for the Gray Chronicle."
Li Ming put the book on the counter.
"It's done! Before handing over your Hunter badge, there are a few things you need to know. â
Shireen brought two delicate wooden boxes to the counter.
"After having the hunter badge, the two of you can uncover the contract in the guild branches around the country, carry out hunting tasks, enjoy the accommodation provided by the local guild, information sharing, maps, all of the above are free, when the evaluation accumulates to a certain extent, you can choose a variety of promotion paths to improve your hunter star, the fastest way is to receive an emergency contract or participate in large-scale joint hunting operations, if there is anything else you want to know, you can ask me."
"What is a large combined hunting operation?"
Li Ming asked.
"Well, it's a battle between many hunter squads working together against powerful monsters... Although it is indeed an efficient way to be promoted, it is still good to appear rarely. â
Shireen looked at the cover of the Gray Age and sighed softly.
"May I ask Miss Shireen, can you take the hunting contract alone?"
Chu Ying asked.
"Unless it is a very special case, only the collection contract and the escort contract can be taken separately, in other words, the remuneration will not be divided equally, so why act alone? Being a lone hunter may seem heroic, but it's actually dangerous. â
Shireen reminded.
"Got it."
"Can the hunter cross the stars to form a team?"
Li Ming asked.
"Yes, but the contract above three stars will be strictly reviewed when receiving it, so as to prevent the occurrence of mixed assessments, and at the same time, it will also prevent some overconfident hunters from taking novice hunters to death."
"I'm fine."
"Neither do I."
"Then congratulations to the two of you for becoming hunters! I hope you can make your own contribution to ecological stability! ... Drum Band! Belch... The cats went to lunch, so forget it. â
Shireen pushed the two wooden boxes to the side.
Li Ming took out the badge.
On the obverse is the guild's X-shaped mark, and on the reverse is a short message.
Li Ming - One-star hunter
Awarded by the Sandstone Cave Division of the Hunters' Union
At the bottom, there is an engraved shield axe in simple strokes.
Li Ming looked down at his abdomen.
The mist lifts, and a new void emerges.
Really unlocked...
Li Ming's face was surprised.
Come to the cat school with Midodo.
Due to the low doorway and the fact that the hall was not spacious and crowded with all kinds of cats, one person and one cat decided to wait outside for the results.
In the end, Mi Duoduo scored a super high score in the wild survival item, just stuck on the access line, and was successfully approved to become a hunting cat.
"Great, meow!"
"Great!"
"Celebrate, huh?"
"No money."
This is the end of the conversation between one man and one cat.
"Midodo! I'm 27 minutes past you! â
Bubu ran over and said very proudly.
"That's amazing."
Midodo clawed congratulations.
"Hmm... Well... Isn't it uncomfortable? â
Bubu cat's paws clenched tightly, and he asked for a long time.
"Huh? Why should I be meowed? â
Midodo looked confused.
After holding it for a long time, Bubu's shoulders sank, and he sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, congratulations on becoming a hunting cat." â
Back at the cabin, Wood was leisurely cooking.
"Senior Wood, my shield axe basic application, really have a full score?"
Li Ming asked tentatively.
"Judged by the standard of a one-star hunter, your performance exceeds the full score, but the upper limit is 50 points, and I can't help it."
Wood, who was stir-frying, responded.
After lunch, Wood recounted a bunch of hunters' tips on how to save his life, and then fell asleep.
After communicating with Ah Tang, the other party did not object to the idea of going hunting.
So Li Ming left a note for Wood, then packed up and went out.
"Don't pretend to be asleep, meow, everyone is gone."
Ah Tang, who was leaning on the door, informed.
"I don't know what kind of contract they'll choose, I'm a little worried..."
Wood rolled over and sighed.
"They're going to have to get out of this step and wait for the good news."
After speaking, Ah Tang closed the wooden door of the hut.
A man and a cat returning to the guild hall walked up to the announcement that there were a large number of hunters watching.
"Fresh desert strawberries are harvested and weighed to calculate the honorarium, per catty... 350zīŧ Midodo, is this the kind of strawberry you picked for me to eat at the camp? â
Li Ming asked in surprise.
"Look at the picture on the contract... Yes meow! â
Midodo confirmed.
"This price, I knew that I would chew a few more bites before swallowing it, but the reason for the crazy rise should be inseparable from the ceratosaurus."
The more ruthless the ceratosaurus, the more expensive the strawberries are.
Li Ming summed it up in his heart.
I also looked at a series of collection tasks, the distance is relatively close, and the remuneration is very meager.
For those who go deep for a long distance, the remuneration is very high, but the travel cycle is a bit long.
So Li Ming checked the one-star hunting contract with a higher degree of danger.
Soon, a thick pile of deeds pasted together caught his attention.
â
Location: The outer area of the sandbar.
Contract Goal: Hunt five Yellow Dragons.
Client: Field Investigator of Sandstone Cave Branch - Sheng Ji
Mission Description: Recently, I have witnessed the migration of a large number of Yellow Speed Dragons in the outer area of the Sand Plains, which is likely to threaten the safety of the sand boat transportation and caravans! We're going to need a lot of manpower to get rid of these Yellow Dragons, come on Hunter Squad.
Gratuity: 800z.
Note: This contract does not require the payment of material shares, and there is no need for field investigators to achieve certification, and the hunter team can dispose of the monster corpse by itself.
When receiving the gratuity, please submit five Huang Sulong's paralytic teeth (not stale materials) as proof of achievement.
Swish~
As soon as Li Ming finished reading the contents of the contract, a hunter raised his hand to uncover the contract.
The next contract with the same content is revealed.
This contract, which is the same as sticky notes, should have been specially set up to deal with Huang Sulong's massive migration, right?
Hmmm~Boom~...
While Li Ming was thinking, two more were revealed.
"Huang Sulong..."
Hmmm~Boom~...
"If you say a lot..."
Hmmm~Boom~...
Seeing that the memo contract was getting thinner and thinner in the process of continuous removal, Li Ming didn't care about it so much, so he grabbed one first.
At this time, the contract has not yet taken effect, and you must go to the counter to find Shirin for certification and buckle the guild seal.
Since there are no special markings on it, you need at least one teammate to travel and hunt in a normal way.
In the face of the Huang Sulong group, which is good at siege, forming a team to hunt together is indeed the most stable way.
But who to look for?
Li Ming looked left and right, and found Chu Ying, who was also holding the contract and looking for something next to the gong.
In the noisy guild hall, the two looked at each other.
"Chu Ying, can you do me a favor?"
Li Ming approached and asked tentatively.
"Okay."
Although it felt a little abrupt, Chu Ying still nodded in agreement.
"Well, let's go, I'm going to bang the gong to recruit teammates."
Li Ming pointed to the gong behind her.
"Uh-oh."
Chu Ying was stunned and hurriedly stepped back.
Boom! The sound of gongs and hammers smashing resounded through the hall.
"One-star hunter! Weapons, shields, axes! Hunt the Yellow Dragon! There is no one to go along! â
Li Ming held the contract high and shouted loudly.
The hall was silent for a moment, and then the noise continued.
The hunters continued to drink and eat meat, chatting and singing, and Li Ming rang the gong to recruit but failed to stir up any waves.
"It seems that teammates who use shield axes are really not very attractive, and they may need to be resident in a branch to get to know their teammates through time accumulation, which is a bit difficult to do..."
Li Ming sighed, turned his head, and found Chu Ying holding his right hand, looking at him.
"So you want to knock too, thank you for letting it go first."
Li Ming said and handed the gong hammer to the other party.
"Uh... No, I want to form a hunter team with you to hunt Huang Sulong together. â
Chu Ying explained.
