I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 17 Teammates
The big sword is swung forward, and the insect stick is used to support the pole.

The sword was slashed and the hammer was smashed.

On the training ground, the use of various hunting weapons was performed in turn.

When each student takes a weapon proficiency test, at least two to three instructors who are familiar with this weapon will supervise the test.

When Li Ming appeared on the stage with a shield and ax on his back, the solemn-looking instructors retreated to both sides.

Wood, who was holding his arms behind him, strode out.

The two stood facing each other and looked at each other briefly.

"Li Ming, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Then let's get started."

Wood took a step back after speaking.

"Shield axe, weapon holding posture!"

Li Ming reached back to grasp the hilt of the sword, swung the shield ax in front of him, and completed the disassembly of the weapon.

Stand firmly with a shield on your left and a sword on your right.

Sword thrust slash, shield thrust slash, charged double slash, energy bottle recharging, transformation slash.
hoo~ bang~
Li Ming moved forward, slashing or slashing with the shield and sword, and launched attacks in various postures.

The heavy shield ax looked very flexible in his hands.

As for the shortcomings, it is the lack of strength, which causes the Skeleton Shield Ax to always feel hollow when used, as if it will fall out of the hand at any time.

"Li Ming! The basic shield and ax mastery test is completed!"

After Wood finished speaking, he used a quill pen to record on the scroll.

After Li Ming regained his composure, he asked, "Instructor, aren't you going to take the test on attribute liberating slash, high-pressure attribute slash, and attribute-enhanced spinning slash?"

"Those are the assessment contents for hunters after three stars."

Wood explained.

Li Ming understood it after combining the assessment scenes he had seen before.

A one-star hunter does need to be proficient in hunting weapons, but the level is limited to basic moves.

With the addition of Full Moon Iai, Flying Dragon Sword and others, there are probably not many people in the world who can be selected as a one-star hunter at a young age.

Just like Vasiu before him, he was already regarded as a genius by Wood when he was able to master the ghost dance at the second level.

"Then you guide me to try to practice these advanced moves."

"There is no harm in starting contact early. In actual combat, we must remember that uniting teammates to kill monsters in the most pragmatic way is the safest and most reasonable way of hunting. Don't be obsessed with a certain move and ignore it. He has lost sight of the nature of hunting, thus putting himself and his teammates into a dangerous situation."

Wood informed.

"It sounds like you are talking about transcendent understanding of this mentor. What is my rating? Can you tell me?"

"It's not very high. Let's wait for the announcement of the end of the assessment."

After Wood finished speaking, he left.

Li Ming thought for a moment and felt that he had not made any major mistakes in any of the items. In theory, he should be able to pass, so he relaxed and went to the training ground fence to rest.

Seeing Mido Duo waiting on the stairs with a confused look on his face, Li Ming curiously asked: "Failed the cat hunting test?"

"The results haven't been announced yet, but there is an assessment project, which is a bit incomprehensible."

"Tell me."

"Thinking of the stake as a hunter's cat, I couldn't get my claws down for a full power punch, so I got a very low score."

"This should be an assessment that simulates a hunter falling into an abnormal state and asking the hunting cat to wake him up."

"So that's what it is, meow!"

Midoduo's eyes widened and his ears stood up.

"Am I stupid?"

Soon, Midoduo lowered his head and sighed.
The pairing of Li Ming and Mido Duo are actually monks halfway through.

The difference is that compared to his familiarity with the hunter profession, Midoduo's understanding of hunting cats is very limited.

"You're not stupid. Your ability to survive in the wild is not what many professional hunting cats have. Don't be stressed. Even if you fail the test this time, I will take you out hunting a few more times to accumulate practical experience, and you will definitely be able to pass it in one try. "

Li Ming said comfortingly.

"If you're not a hunting cat, can you still participate in hunting? Meow?"

"Of course, no one will delve into this kind of thing, but the guarantee will definitely be worse."

Li Ming informed.

"That's great, meow!"

Midoduo jumped up happily.

As subsequent candidates completed their exams, everyone came to the guild hall to wait for the results.

Since the hunter exam does not record rankings, the results are announced according to the order of seats.

When she read Li Ming's results, Shilin paused slightly and raised her hand to signal to the Ellu Cat Drum Band on the stage in the hall.

The squirming cats immediately sat up straight and picked up their instruments.

Shilin cleared her throat and announced in a solemn tone: "Li Ming, 50 points in the basic hunter knowledge test, 47 points in the physical fitness test, 50 points in the basic shield and ax proficiency test, a total of 147 points, which is higher than the standard score of 140 points. You are allowed to become a hunter and awarded a one-star hunter medal!"

Dangdang~dangdang~dangdang~dangdang~dangdang
As the hero's certificate was played, applause rang out in the hall. Many candidates who failed to pass immediately got rid of their depression, looked at Li Ming, who was currently the first to pass the examination, and cheered.

Li Ming stood up, raised his hands high, and received applause and cheers.

It seems that those 3 points should have been lost on the lifting stone.
He had expected to become a hunter, but passing with such a high score was somewhat unexpected.

"Oh!"

Soon, Shirin, who was announcing the results, paused again. The El Cat Drum Band, which was just about to take a break, had no choice but to pick up its instruments again.

"Chu Ying, she scored 50 points in the basic hunter knowledge test, 46 points in the physical fitness test, and 50 points in the basic heavy crossbow proficiency test, with a total of 146 points, which is 140 points higher than the standard score. She was approved to become a hunter and awarded a one-star hunter medal!"

Dangdang~dangdang~dangdang~dangdang~dangdang
Chuying stood up and accepted the cheers with a smile.

In the entire hall, Bubu was the only one with a slightly downcast look, seemingly not very happy.

After the exam, at the counter, Shirin and another receptionist burned information on the back of the hunter medal.

"You two, wait a moment, I'll be ready soon."

"Don't worry, thank you for the dark Ji."

Li Ming put the book on the counter.

"It's done! Before handing over the hunter badge, there are some things I need to tell you."

Shirin brought two exquisite wooden boxes to the counter.

"After possessing the hunter badge, the two of you can pick up contracts at guild branches in various places, carry out hunting missions, and enjoy the accommodation, information sharing, and maps provided by the local guild. All of the above are free. When the evaluation reaches a certain level, , you can choose a variety of promotion paths to improve your hunter star rating, the fastest way is to accept an emergency contract or participate in a large-scale joint hunting operation. If you want to know anything else, you can ask me."

"What does large-scale joint hunting operations mean?"

Li Ming asked.

"Well, this is a team of many hunters working together to fight against powerful monsters. Although it is indeed an efficient way to advance, it is better to rarely appear."

Shirin looked at the cover of the Dark Age and sighed softly.

"Miss Shirin, can I accept the hunting contract alone?"

Chuying asked.

"Unless there are very special circumstances, only the gathering contract and the escort contract can be accepted individually. Speaking of which, the rewards will not be equally divided, so why do you have to act alone? Being a lone hunter may seem heroic, but it is actually very dangerous."

Shireen reminded.

"understood."

"Can hunters form teams across star levels?"

Li Ming asked.

"Yes, but for contracts with three stars or above, strict review will be carried out when accepting them to prevent mixed evaluations. It will also prevent some overconfident hunters from leading novice hunters to their deaths."

"I'm fine."

"I do not have either."

"Then congratulations to both of you for becoming hunters! I hope you can make your own contribution to ecological stability! Drum band! Uh, the cats have gone to have lunch, so forget it."

Shireen pushed the two wooden boxes aside.

Li Ming took out the badge.

On the front is the guild's x-shaped mark, and on the reverse is a brief message.

Li Ming-One Star Hunter Hunter Guild Sandstone Cave Branch Awarded

At the bottom, there is a simple shield and ax pattern engraved on it.

Li Ming lowered his head and stared at his abdomen.

The mist parted, revealing a new void.

It's really unlocked.
Li Ming looked surprised.

Come to Maomao Academy with Midodo.

Since the doorway was very low and the hall was not spacious, it was crowded with cats of all kinds. One person and one cat decided to wait outside for the results.

In the end, Midoduo was just stuck on the admission line with his high score in the field survival category, and was successfully allowed to become a hunting cat.

"That's great meow!"

"Great!"

"Let's celebrate, nya?"

"No money."

This is the end of the conversation between one person and one cat.

"Midodo! I surpassed you by a full 27 points, meow!"

Bubu came running over and said very proudly.

"That's awesome, meow."

Mido clapped his paws in congratulations.

"Hmm. Aren't you feeling uncomfortable, meow?"

Bubu clenched the cat's paws tightly and held it in for a long time before asking.

"Huh? Why should I feel uncomfortable, meow?"

Midoduo looked confused.

After holding it in for a long time, Bubu's shoulders sank and he sighed helplessly: "Okay, congratulations on becoming a hunting cat."

Back at the cabin, Wood was cooking leisurely.

"Senior Wood, do I really have perfect marks for my basic application of shield and axe?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Based on the standard of a one-star hunter, your performance exceeds the full score, but the upper limit is 50 points, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Wood, who was holding the pot and stir-frying, responded.

After lunch, Wood, under the influence of alcohol, recounted a bunch of hunting tips on how to save his life, and then fell asleep.

After communicating with Ah Ju about the idea of ​​going hunting, the other party had no objection.

So after Li Ming left a note for Wood, he packed up and went out.

"Don't pretend to be asleep, meow, everyone is gone."

Ah Ju, who was leaning by the door, informed.

“I don’t know what kind of contract they will choose, so I’m a little worried.”

Wood turned over and sighed.

"They have to take this step anyway, meow, just wait for the good news."

After Ah Ju finished speaking, he closed the wooden door of the hut.

One person and one cat returned to the guild hall and walked to the announcement where a large number of hunters were watching.

"Collecting fresh desert strawberries, the fee is calculated by weight, .350z per catty! Midoduo, are these the strawberries you picked for me to eat at the camp?"

Li Ming asked in surprise.

"Look at the picture on the contract, yes meow!"

Midodo confirmed.

"With this price, I would have chewed it a few more times before swallowing it, but the reason for the skyrocketing price must have something to do with the ceratopsian."

The more ruthless the horned dragon, the more expensive the strawberries.

Li Ming concluded in his mind.

After looking at a series of collection tasks, the rewards for those that are relatively close are very meager.

For those who travel far and deep, the reward is quite high, but the travel cycle is a bit long.

So Li Ming looked at the more dangerous one-star hunting contract.

Soon, a thick stack of contracts stuck together caught his attention.

★

Location: Outer area of ​​Sand Plains.

Contract goal: hunt five yellow velociraptors.

Client: Field Investigator of Sandstone Cave Branch-Sheng Ji
Brief description of the mission: I have recently witnessed the migration of a large number of Yellow Velociraptors in the outer areas of the sand plains, which may threaten the safety of sand boat transportation and caravans!We need a lot of manpower to clear out these yellow velociraptors, come on hunter team.

Honoraria: 800z.

Note: This contract does not require material sharing, and there is no need for field investigators to complete the certification. The hunter team can dispose of the monster corpses by themselves.

When receiving the reward, please submit five paralyzed fangs of Huang Velociraptor (not old materials) as proof of achievement.

shuh~
As soon as Li Ming read the contents of the contract, a hunter raised his hand and took the contract away.

The next contract with the same content was revealed.

This contract, which is like a sticky note, was probably specially set up to cope with the large-scale migration of Huang Velociraptor, right?
Shua~ Shua~
While Li Ming was thinking, two more were revealed.

"Huang Velociraptor"

Shua~ Shua~
"In groups."

Shua~ Shua~
Seeing that the sticky note contract was getting thinner and thinner as he continued to uncover it, Li Ming couldn't care less and grabbed one first.

The contract at this time has not yet taken effect. You must go to the counter to find Shirin for authentication and put the guild seal on it.

Since there is no special mark on it, if you want to go hunting in the normal way, you need at least one teammate.

Facing the yellow speed dragon group that is good at siege, forming a small team to hunt together is indeed the most stable way.

But who?
Li Ming looked around and found Chuying beside the gong, also holding a contract and looking for something.

In the noisy guild hall, the two looked at each other.

"Chu Ying, can you help me?"

Li Ming approached and asked tentatively.

"Ok."

Although it felt a bit abrupt, Chuying still nodded in approval.

"Well, give me a moment, I'm going to beat the gong to recruit teammates."

Li Ming pointed to the gong behind her.

"oh oh."

Chuying suddenly realized and quickly stepped back.

Boom!The sound of gongs and hammers resounded throughout the hall.

"One-star hunter! Weapon, shield and axe! Hunting the Yellow Velociraptor! Is anyone traveling with us?"

Li Ming held the contract high and shouted loudly.

The hall was silent for a brief moment, and then the noise continued.

The hunters continued to drink and eat meat, chat and sing. Li Ming sounded the gong and called for recruitment, but it failed to stir up any waves.

"It seems that teammates who use shield axes are really not very attractive. You may need to stay in a branch permanently to get to know your teammates through time accumulation. It's a bit difficult now."

Li Ming sighed, turned his head, and found that Chu Ying was looking at him with her right hand raised.

"So you want to knock on it too, thank you for letting me go first."

Li Ming said and handed the gong hammer to the opponent's hand.

"Uh, no, I want to form a team of hunters with you to hunt the Yellow Velociraptor together."

Chuying explained.
