"You idiot, ruined my whole Jihua. Those guys have fine noses, and I can't pretend to be arrested a second time. If they were to recognize me, they would have drained my blood before talking about anything else. The old drunkard had changed out of the black gown he had worn when he and Zero first met, and was now wearing an off-white shirt and a long trench coat. He muttered as he unwrapped his trench coat.

This humble trench coat contained many parts of a firearm, which the old drunkard took off the trench coat and assembled it skillfully. After a while, a modified sniper rifle appeared under Zero's eyes.

This sniper rifle is not in any of the firearms sequences known to Zero, it is close to the old Barem, but the barrel is longer and thicker. There are no sights on the gun either, and God knows what the old drunkard's sight range is to be able to hit the enemy with such a sniper rifle. And the bullet of the sniper rifle is also very special, it looks like an ordinary large-caliber sniper rifle special bullet, but the bullet is engraved with a beautiful pattern.

Intuition tells Zero that these patterns are not only designed to look good, but also to increase the power of the bullet.

Seeing Zero staring at his sniper rifle and bullets, the old drunkard shook his gun and said, "This is a good guy who has been with me all my life, and it is an improved sniper rifle designed and made by His Excellency Ben Douglas himself." It's called Colt, and it's as small as a screw, which I made with a machine tool. Although your M500 is also a rare item, I only have one of my Colt Shijie. ”

Zero showed a thoughtful expression, and the firearm made by himself felt absolutely different from the finished product made by the assembly line. The hand-made firearm is like an extension of its own bloodline, and the author has poured all his efforts into the process of designing and manufacturing the firearm and then to the finished product. It is no exaggeration to say that when the finished product is finished, the gun also has a soul of its own.

Now Zero kind of understands that Weishenme's long-barreled sniper rifle doesn't have any sights on it. But making your own firearms is simple, but the conditions are quite harsh. Not only does it require a lot of suitable materials and related manufacturing equipment, but it also requires the author to be familiar with the principles of firearms and the processing of parts.

"So, you're also hired by Remut to do a reconnaissance mission here?" Zero used an honorific to say, no matter what the drunkard's ability to do in actual combat, he was worthy of Zero's respect for being able to build his own firearm.

The old drunkard Ben looked at Zero, and hahadaxiao said: "Don't be kidding, do you think I'll take on this kind of boring task? Let me guess, this kind of mission of Remut, the maximum reward is not more than 10,000, even if all these troublesome rock spiders are wiped out?"

Zero nodded, indeed, as Ben said, the zuihou part of the promotion mission is to sweep the university town. After killing all the Rock Spiders, the reward is 8000. But this impossible task, Zero did not think about it at all.

"Boy, have you read economics?" Ben shook his head and said, "Value for money, you know." The cost performance of your tasks and rewards is too low, think about it, you won't get 10,000 rewards for killing all these things. But if I take something from these monsters and go back, it's much more than that. ”

Zero's eyes lit up suddenly.

"It's value, boy. Each creature has its own value, from small insects to large bears and even mobs roaming the wilderness. Ben stared at Zero: "The question is, will you be able to spot it." Like rock spiders, the silk sacs on their heads and mouth cavities are capable of secreting spider silk and neurotoxins. Spider silk itself is not valuable, but the neurotoxins that can be extracted through the silk sac can be used in a variety of lethal weapons. Something like this can be sold for 50 yuan a piece on the black market. ”

Zero's heart skipped a slight beat.

In the past two days, he has hunted more than ten rock spiders. If it is calculated at 50 yuan per silk sac, then he has let go of something worth more than 500 yuan for no reason.

"Rock spiders, on the other hand, usually live with another kind of monster. The monster is called the Lurker, the cousin of the Rock Spider, two to three times the size of the Rock Spider. The other organs of the Lurkers are worthless, but their shells resemble some kind of optical armor, which is an important material for making stealth outfits. This is a good thing, and each lurker's shell can be sold for 1,000 yuan. Ben smiled smugly, "Come to think of it, it's much easier to hunt down a dozen or so monsters than it would be for you to sweep through the entire college town." But the reward is the same, if not more. The so-called monster hunter must be familiar with the habits and weaknesses of various monsters. And more importantly, what their value is!"

Hearing this, Zero already has plans to change careers. He had never known that some of the monster's organs were so valuable. Their value far exceeds the reward for the task itself.

"How's that, boy. Are you interested in going to get a handful with me, and you can earn some extra money while completing the task, and it is not a common thing to only make money without losing money. Ben laughed.

Zero asked, "Weishenme wants to cheapen me?"

In fact, no one wants to cooperate with anyone in this kind of profitable business. One person always earns more than two people working alone.

"Because I'm old, although my experience is still there, my physical fitness is not as good as before. And this university town is too big, there are more monsters, and there are always more guarantees for multiple people. Ben pouted at Nunu, the revolver on Zero's waist, "What's more, you know how to use this pair of good guys." Believe me, if you want to use the M500 well, you can't do it with a big Liliang. The people who use them well are usually intellectually wild with no one knowing. Such a person usually makes a good hunter, and a hunter needs not only calm and self-control at all times, but also determination and courage to go deep into the monster's lair. And you just happen to have all of that. ”

Ben said, holding out his palm as he spoke. Zero thought about it, and finally shook Ben's hand.

The old drunkard blinked and said, "Welcome in, buddy." You'll find that being a hunter is much more fun than a mercenary!"
