Even the lowest-grade magic gems cost hundreds of thousands of faris each. For example, the nine highest-grade magic gems inlaid on the Great Elf’s one of the five supreme staffs of Livilia cost tens of millions each.

Bell’s 200 Million Blades are expensive, right? If you take off all the magic gems on Riveria’s staff, you can buy two and still have some left over.

“Well, to be honest, I can’t give a definite answer yet. I can only say that there is a high probability.” Lieyan shook his head slightly.

“I have consulted Livilia about the issue of magic gems before. In essence, magic gems are very similar to this red jade. Both are crystals of pure energy. However, whether the dragon jade can be successfully applied to the staff still requires further experiments.”

“………….Is that so? What a pity.”

Grace was silent for a moment, then sighed, but he could also understand that he was a little anxious.

But there is no other way, because the Monster Hunter World has given them so many surprises. Although it is not possible now, he believes that one day he will get the answer to the question.

After gaining some experience, Linie quickly completed the stripping work. In addition to the materials required to make the [Princess Rapier] specified by Lieyan, she also took off two sharp wing claws of the female fire dragon.

This is probably the biggest difference between reality and games.

Although the range of materials that can be obtained by peeling in the game is very wide, from the inside to the outside, it is essentially a random draw. It is very likely that three consecutive peelings will result in all being scales.

The stripping in reality is different. Although limited by equipment, the stripping in reality can only be done on the surface of the monster and cannot go deeper. The acquisition range is only the surface area of ​​the body, but the hunter can choose the stripping position at will and can directly strip the higher value parts, such as the reverse scales and wing membranes.

As for some materials that can only be obtained from monsters, you can only drag the entire monster back to the guild and have the specialized personnel in the guild decompose it before you can get it as part of the mission reward.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Take the upper-level female fire dragon that is now in front of Lieyan and others as an example. There are many high-level materials in its body that hunters cannot deal with with just a hunting knife, and they can even be called dangerous.

For example, there is the [Explosive Bag], a more powerful fire bag filled with explosive powder that can turn into a big bomb if you are not careful, and the [Fire Dragon’s Bone Marrow] and [Fire Dragon’s Medulla Oblongata] that will burst into flames as soon as they touch the air.

It is impossible to peel these things safely with a hunting knife.

Hunters are not gods, and there is no way they can replace professional equipment with a small knife.

Moreover, in addition to these available materials, the venom glands on the back and tail of the female fire dragon are also something that hunters cannot deal with.

The meat of female fire dragons is also a relatively precious food ingredient. It can be said that a considerable portion of the guild’s income is obtained from this meat. This meat will be sold to those fat sheep who are not short of money, ahem, no, royal nobles, in order to seek huge profits and supply the operation of the Hunter Guild.

If the hunter accidentally destroys the venom gland…

Of course, tying one’s own interests to those of the upper class is not always a good thing. Occasionally, some special characters will appear and bring some problems to the Hunter Guild.

For example, a certain princess used the fur of a golden lion to keep warm. This was definitely a strange idea that was out of place in her head. Many hunters in the guild still cannot understand it.

The golden lion is weak to ice. Is there something wrong with you using its fur to keep warm?

Ahem, cough, that’s too far off topic.

After stripping the materials, the guild’s follow-up staff had also arrived. After a few pleasant exchanges, Lieyan and his companions returned to Yanhuo Village and found Shuiyun to hand over the task. By the way, Lieyan also proposed that it would be best if the task reward included the [Medulla Oblongata of Fire Dragon].

As mentioned before, [Medulla Oblongata of Fire Dragon] is one of the materials needed to upgrade the Princess Rapier. Now the basic materials used to make the Princess Rapier have been collected. We only need to obtain [Hook of Princess Spider] to strengthen it to a higher level.

This is also different from the game.

Compared to the game, where the rewards are collected instantly, the rewards for tasks issued in reality can only be obtained after the guild completes a series of work.

It will be about one to two days late.

Moreover, there is only one reward for all tasks. There is no need to say more about it for lone hunters, but if it is a hunting team, then the reward for the task needs to be distributed within the team.

The same is true for monetary rewards. Except for the fact that you can get them on the spot, everything else is basically the same.

It is also just one copy, so the hunting team needs to divide it equally. However, the fire points are not restricted by this rule. Regardless of whether it is a hunting team or not, what they can get after the battle is the same.

The reward for the mission commission of the Poison Bird and the Female Rathalos is the same, 7200z. Although the individual strengths vary greatly, the commissions of the Female Rathalos and the Poison Bird are actually of the same level.

It sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is indeed the reality…

The team earned 14400z, but the next moment, there was no money left.

because……….

“The cost of forging the Princess Rapier is 23400z.”

Even if all the team’s income is taken into account, there is still a shortfall of 9000z.

The newly formed Hunter Team fell into a financial crisis?!

Chapter 103: Loki’s Investigation

Of course, there is no possibility of a financial crisis.

Although it is true that the three people headed by Grace are extremely poor, Lieyan still has a lot of small changes in his pocket. He has worked hard to grow from a novice hunter to a wealthy man now.

However, Lieyan originally wanted to pay directly, but Angel insisted on borrowing money, and also declined the financial assistance from Linie and Grace. She only used the part she deserved plus the money owed by Lieyan to pay for the production cost of the new equipment.

Unable to persuade the persistent Anqi, Lieyan had no choice but to accept the debtor.

But it was no problem. As a LV 4 high-level adventurer, Anqi was quite powerful.

This strong strength can be easily exerted in the Monster Hunter world. As long as she carries out the hunting mission with peace of mind, she can pay off the debt in a few days. If she is more diligent, she may be able to save up the money needed for the next weapon upgrade.

As an adventurer, she is fully capable of fulfilling the duties of a hunter. The only thing she lacks is the understanding of the world’s environment and monsters.

These two issues are easy to resolve. For the former, you only need to assign her a simple guide who does not participate in the battle. With the Hunter Guild, it is easy to find such a person. As for the understanding of monsters…

Then I can only make up for it with hard study.

The Hunter’s Guild has established data files for most monsters. Although these files, compiled by the continuously active team of scribes, are somewhat difficult for hunters to understand, the information about the monsters contained in them is genuine.

As long as you calm down and study hard, you will gain something…

perhaps.

After paying the required amount for the [Princess Rapier], Lieyan also handed his weapon to Mr. Daowen.

Today he used the shield axe to resist the female fire dragon’s dragon chariot. Although he activated the fully charged counterattack and the shield axe did not find any problems in the follow-up, he thought it would be better to check it out.

Safety first, safety first, safety first.

Say the important thing three times.

The weapons and equipment in the game have a built-in [indestructible] effect, which is impossible in reality.

What if the shield axe suffers some internal damage and suddenly explodes afterwards? Wouldn’t that be very embarrassing?

Moreover, the shield axe in his hand is a fresh product made of minerals from another world. It is the first time that strong steel and shield axe are combined. In addition, the special deformation mechanism and energy transfer mechanism in the shield axe are very precise and more easily affected. If there is any problem, early inspection can lead to early response.

Even if there is no problem, the shield axe can now be upgraded to the next level. It would be nice to give it to the old man and upgrade it at the same time.

Plan pass.jpg

After finishing all this, the sky gradually became dark. With perfect timing, Lieyan brought Grace and the other two back to the Loki clan before the clan dinner.

Regarding the issue of time travel, Finn once made a detailed plan. People who go to the Monster Hunter world will be sent by him for legitimate reasons, so they can stay on the “business trip” for a long time.

Hunting with Angel, Linie and Grace was a private activity carried out by Lieyan. Without the reason of a business trip, there was no way to let them stay in the Monster Hunter world. They could only be picked up and dropped off like this, pretending that they were returning from exploring the dungeon.

“By the way, Loki isn’t here… I heard she went out with Bert?”

At dinner time, Lieyan brought a plate of steak piled up like a small mountain and placed it on the table, with hot rice and vegetable salad in front of him.

Lieyan took the initiative to request the rice. Like the vegetables, they all came from Demeter’s family and tasted very sweet. To be honest, Lieyan felt that he could eat three kilograms of rice alone.

“Yes, Loki left a note in Finn’s office, saying that he was taking Bert to investigate the problem of the Piranha-type monster that Ace and the others encountered at the Monster Festival. I don’t know how the progress is now.”

Grace sat down on the chair, with almost the same configuration as Lieyan in front of him, but with an extra bottle of wine.

It has to be said that Grace always presents the image of an orthodox dwarf, with a short and stocky figure, a big beard, a heroic character, and he can drink a lot.

Dwarf stereotype jokes have been added.

“If it’s Loki……”

“What if it was us?”

Lieyan had just finished speaking when the voice of the person involved was heard behind him. Loki walked into the restaurant with a smile on her face as usual, and behind her was Bert with an impatient look on his face.

“Nothing, we were talking about the investigation you conducted today, how is it going?”

“It can be said that there is no progress.”

Loki curled his lips, prepared his own meal, and sat down on the seat next to Grace. Then he grabbed the bottle of wine on Grace’s table without saying a word and gulped down a big gulp as if to quench his thirst. Bert didn’t have the heart to talk, so he prepared his meal and went to the corner where he usually sat.

“What do you mean by no progress?”

Grace picked up another bottle of wine from under the table and placed it on the table without any surprise. The dwarf stared at Loki.

He is the strongest among the clan, but he is not without wisdom. After working with the dwarfs and elves for so many years, he has absorbed some of their characteristics.

Loki’s current expression doesn’t seem like there is no progress. If you have to put it simply, it’s more like he has traveled to many places and has some guesses in his mind, something like that.

“Gu-ha, that’s exactly what it means. We’ve been to so many places today. We ate potato balls, went to the sewers, ran into Dionysus, and even went to Uranus’s place, but we still haven’t been able to find the final murderer. Instead, things are becoming more and more confusing. Anyway, don’t worry about it. I’ve got some clues and am preparing to continue digging.”

Loki pulled the bottle from his mouth and let out a long sigh of relief.

Chapter 104: Up and Down the Dungeon

“It seems that you enjoyed your detective game today. However, if Finn were here, he would never let you do such a thing. I won’t persuade you to stop, but you’d better be careful. If there is anything, it would be better to just tell that wolf cub to do it.”

Grace glanced at Loki, who looked completely normal, and put a piece of steak into her mouth.

Judging from the experiences that Loki just revealed, her day was not ordinary at all, and was far more than just a detective game.

After all, the investigation into those carnivorous plant-like monsters could actually extend all the way to meeting Uranus. Just looking at the itinerary alone, it was already quite abnormal, not to mention what might have happened in those events that were downplayed.

But it was obvious that nothing could be obtained from Loki’s mouth. Grace was too lazy to waste words with Loki. If he wanted to know something, there was no need for him to block Loki here and ask him. The wolf cub who had been hanging out with Loki for a day was a good person to question.

Although the wolf cub has a very weird personality and communication might be a little difficult for various reasons, it doesn’t matter. The dwarf believes that he and his fists will patiently listen to the wolf cub tell him what he experienced today.

“Well, don’t worry. You still don’t trust me? Although a small situation did happen today, it’s probably all under my control.” Loki held the bottle of wine, burped, and laughed heartlessly.

Lieyan on the side listened silently, a little absent-minded.

He had also heard about the incident that took place during the Monster Festival, but neither Ais and Loki, the parties involved, nor Finn, who learned about it later, seemed to want him to get involved, so that now he was not very clear about the whole matter. He just came to the conclusion that in this accident caused by the goddess Freya, there was another person who was taking advantage of the situation.

At this moment, Loki seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly looked in the direction of the flames and asked with a smile:

“By the way, Lieyan, don’t you have the ability to predict dreams? Have you seen any strange images recently? If so, why not tell me about it?”

“There is no picture on the screen, but if you share the clues you found today, then maybe I can ‘see’ something because of these clues.”
