Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 261 Running Essence (5k, 3.18 days of replenishment)
Vitality drinks can directly increase the upper limit of endurance, keep the spirit high in a short period of time, and speed up the body's self-healing speed.

A very good drink for hunters.

However, vitality drinks also have the disadvantage of being expensive.

At this stage, the vitality drink that Bai Zhen sells to mugwort is made from Lv.6 honey + Lv.6 blue mushrooms and nitrified mushrooms, plus Lv.1 bitter insects and mangoes.

The cost is 70 gold. Bai Zhen sells it to hunters, and the price is even as high as 300 gold a bottle.

This price is definitely not affordable by ordinary families.

It is said that lowering the levels of materials such as honey and blue mushrooms will reduce the cost of vitality drinks.

Because the honey currently produced in the farm is all Level 6, it is difficult to produce Level 1 honey. Unless the people of Yanhuo Village start keeping bees themselves, the cost of the vitality drink will not be reduced at all.

Ai Cao said: "Due to the Bailong Night Tour, everyone's workload has increased a lot during this period, and the fatigue can be clearly seen on everyone's faces, so I was wondering if there might be a cheaper alternative here at Richen Farm." Material to restore strength.”

There are two main ways for hunters to restore their stamina.

The average body length of Ceratopsia is 24 meters, and its whole body is covered with an earthy yellow carapace. Its head is disc-shaped, with a huge mouth, a pair of small eyes and a pair of huge curved horns. This is where the name Ceratopsaurus comes from. For this pair of big horns.

And the running essence is really expensive.

The original vitality drink is made from nitrocellulose mushrooms + honey. The price of wild honey is very high and cannot be easily afforded by ordinary families.

An affordable drink that can restore the physical strength of the El cats can also effectively improve the work efficiency of the El cats.

If all the El cats were given vitality drinks every day, the operating costs of the farm would be too high.

One is to drink a vitality drink, and the other is to drink a strong drug.

Bai Zhen took note of Wormwood's needs.

One of the greatest values ​​of the material synthesis platform is that it can turn some extremely expensive and rare materials into common and repeatable materials.

The water beast is a medium-sized sea dragon with a crown-like crown on its head and a huge sponge on its neck that can store water. As the leader of the carnivorous water beasts, the water beast itself is also a king-like existence.

Another monster that can collect running essence is the horned dragon, also known as the "Desert Tyrant" by hunters.

This is not about transferring goods from other places or going out to harvest, but a real process from scratch to mass production.

There is a high probability of collecting the running essence from the body of the horned dragon, and the quality is several times better than the running essence collected from the body of the water beast.

But because Honglong was seriously injured at that time, the two snow ghosts were all used to treat Honglong's injuries.

The strong walking medicine is even more expensive. It is made from honey + bitter insects to make an enhancer, and then uses the enhancer + running essence to make it.

They really need a food that can specifically restore their physical strength.

"Hmm! It's really amazing!" Ai Cao looked at Bai Zhen with admiration.

"Is it enough for 20 days?" Ai Cao looked at Bai Zhen in disbelief.

Running Essence can be stripped from water beasts or horned dragons.

In the game, the drop probability of running essence is about 40%.

Bai Zhen thought for a while and said to mugwort: "At this stage, there are no crops that meet the requirements on the farm, but I accept customization here. In addition to low price, do you have any other requirements?"

At that time, Bai Zhen could synthesize snow ghost gall as a material, and should be able to create a weakened version of the medicinal material.

Currently, the number of Eloo cats on the farm has reached 157, and almost all of them are doing physical work.

Energizing drugs are similar to stimulants, which will prevent hunters from feeling fatigue for a short period of time and restore a small amount of stamina.

Vitality drinks are a good choice, but they are expensive and have the added effects of restoring mental strength and improving self-healing abilities. These effects are not needed by El cats at all.

But in reality, the running essence is very precious, and the probability of harvesting the running essence from a water beast is less than 5%.

Even if it is harvested, the amount of essence is pitifully small, maybe less than a hundred milliliters.

Low-cost ingredients that can restore endurance are actually very useful to Bai Zhen himself.

"It also depends on the final growth cycle of the plant. If it's fast, it's normal to start a few days earlier." Bai Zhen affirmed.

The Ellu cats on the farm are actually in great need of medicines specifically designed to restore their stamina.

Running Essence is a wonderful essence that can be collected from the bodies of water animals and can enhance endurance.

At the same level, it is probably equivalent to powerful map kings such as Honglong and Xionghuolong.

The Vitality Drink restores a large amount of stamina and keeps the hunter from feeling stranded.

Like the previous snow ghost gallbladder, it is actually a very rare medicinal material.

Under normal circumstances, it will take at least several years, or even decades, to achieve this.

And the amount harvested will be quite large. It is said that several liters can be harvested at one time.

Bai Zhen said to Wormwood: "There should be no problem with the customized plants you want. The first batch of goods should be received in about 20 days."

Although the horned dragon is a herbivorous monster, its thick carapace, powerful strength, and astonishing ferocity also allow the horned dragon to occupy a fairly high ecological niche.

The water beast is a relatively low-level monster, and its ecological niche is probably slightly higher than that of the Green Bear, but compared to weak map kings such as Velociraptor and Barbarian Jaw Dragon, its ecological niche is much lower.

Needless to say, the price of honey is difficult to come down.

Both blended medicines can restore people's endurance, but after all, these two medicines are auxiliary medicines that hunters drink when hunting monsters, and the cost is not low.

"Great!" Wormwood cheered happily, and said, "If possible, I hope the taste is acceptable to everyone, such as sour or sweet, which would go well with rabbit dumplings. "

Now she only feels that Bai Zhen seems to be omnipotent.

After confirming the order with Bai Zhen again, Ai Cao went back with a new vitality drink.

Bai Zhen temporarily went with Ai Cao to the central street and assembly hall of the village to see if they could directly purchase the running essence.

After going around in a circle, Bai Zhen only bought a small bottle of about 30ml, the running essence produced by lower water beasts.

He also made a special trip to the gathering place, wanting to use his status as a high-level hunter to see if he could buy the running essence of the horned dragon, but unfortunately, that thing was very rare and useful, and he couldn't buy it at the gathering place. To the essence of Rampant of Ceratops.

30ml of running essence can only be blended three times at most. And if in order to enhance the characteristics of the running essence, 20ml of fusion dosage is used, then the 30ml of running essence can only be fused and created once.

Arriving in front of the guild's mission bulletin board again, Bai Zhen glanced at it to see if there was any mission to conquer the horned dragon.

During this period, due to the upcoming Hundred Dragons Night Parade, there were many hunting tasks in the assembly hall, and almost all the hunters were extremely busy.

Bai Zhen glanced at the task board.

He saw a high-ranking two-star ceratopsian subjugation mission
Bai Zhen looked at the detailed description of the mission in detail.

and the client’s mission requirements.

Unlucky Traveling Merchant: Alas... I'm so unlucky... I left the goods for a while in order to pick up the hat that was blown away by the wind. Suddenly I heard a roar, and I went back to take a look. The product was torn apart like it was pierced by horns from the ground... I don't want it to be torn apart. Please go hunt for it...

Traveling traders usually take the safer road.

Now that they were attacked by a horned dragon on the safe road, this was definitely not good news for Yanhuo Village.

Ceratopsians have a strong sense of territory and will attack any enemy that enters their territory.

The horned dragon will attack passing merchants, which means that the scope of the horned dragon's activities has covered the safe official road.

In the future, when more traveling traders pass by that road, there is a high probability that they will be attacked by horned dragons.

This is undoubtedly bad news for Yanhuo Village, which is now facing a disaster.

This is probably one of the reasons why the assembly approved this task.

Bai Zhen was a little distressed when he looked at the requirements for the upper 2-star mission. He had just been promoted to the upper 2-star. If he wanted to take on the 1-star mission, he needed to complete at least four 2-star missions and complete another promotion. The mission can be upgraded to the upper stars.

If he upgrades honestly, this mission will probably be taken over by other hunters.

And I’m afraid it will take less than half a month to do it. Just when Bai Zhen was distressed, a questioning voice came from his side: "Master Bai Zhen, are you preparing to take on a new mission?"

Hearing the sound, Bai Zhen turned his head and looked sideways, and Calamus didn't know when he came to his side.

"Good afternoon, Acorus, I just received a special order from Wormwood. I want to hunt a horned dragon to collect the opponent's running essence, but this task is for 2 stars. I'm worried about it. Woolen cloth."

"Hunting the horned dragon." Calamus glanced at the mission board, and indeed he could only find this one mission to defeat the horned dragon.

Ceratopsians are rare. Even if you apply to the guild to hunt low-level ceratopsians, you have to know in advance where there are ceratopsians that meet the requirements.

But now it seems that it should be difficult to find similar mission targets.

Calamus thought for a while and suggested: "If you don't mind, how about teaming up with me to take over the mission?"

"Want to form a team together?"

"That's right, you can't accept a mission that's higher than your level alone, but if you team up with other high-level hunters, it's not unusual to accept a mission that's only one level higher than you."

The tasks in the assembly hall are sometimes very random. There is not a sufficient number of tasks for each level to meet the requirements of all hunters.

If the requirements are very strict at this time, it will also make it difficult for hunters to complete certain tasks, and eventually it will evolve into a gathering that forces certain hunters to be assigned tasks.

"Can this be done?" Bai Zhen asked Chang Pu.

Chang Pu said: "I am an upper-level 3-star hunter. I can take on this upper-level 2-star mission alone. And your level has also reached the upper-level 1-star. There is not much difference in strength. Just be careful and don't force yourself. If you want to form a team to hunt together, Your Excellency Sui Fengmin will agree."

"Then give it a try. This mission to defeat the Ceratopsian is indeed very important to me."

Together with Chang Pu, they found Sui Fengmin with a task. After hearing Bai Zhen's request, Sui Fengmin hesitated.

Bai Zhen's current identity is very different, and he has just become a high-level hunter. It is too dangerous for him to go directly to kill the 2-star ceratopsian.

After thinking for a while, Sui Fengmin selected a high-level 2-star mission among many missions and gave it to Bai Zhendao.

"I remember that you have accepted a high-level 1-star mission to defeat kappa frogs. As long as you can complete that mission alone, and complete this high-level 2-star mission to defeat water beasts, then I can agree with you. Team up with Acorus to take on the mission of defeating the horned dragon."

Sui Fengmin sent the mission of conquering the high-level water beast to Bai Zhen's mobile phone.

Bai Zhen looked at it in detail. Compared with the horned dragon's subjugation mission, this water beast mission was much simpler.

There are two tasks, one is a 2-star high-difficulty task, and the other is a 2-star low-difficulty task.

Only those who can complete the 2-star water beast subjugation mission alone are eligible to participate in the horned dragon subjugation mission.

Sui Fengmin's request was very reasonable, even if these two tasks could only be completed in two days at the earliest.

Bai Zhen turned to look at Chang Pu, who said nonchalantly: "I can wait for two days. I also happened to be back from hunting and want to rest for a few days, and I also need to prepare supplies for the crusade against the horned dragon."

After Chang Pu said so, Bai Zhen also nodded in agreement and said: "Then I will complete these two tasks as soon as possible."

Chang Pu and Bai Zhen went through the task acceptance procedures together.

After bidding farewell to Calamus for the time being, Bai Zhen returned home with the running essence he purchased, and he told Huo Ya about his preparations to take on the mission of subjugating the horned dragon.

I heard that Bai Zhen had to skip the level and challenge the water beast mission of the upper 2-star level when he first entered the upper level. Huo Ya had to accompany him no matter what he said.

Seeing Huo Ya's firm attitude, Bai Zhen agreed.

In the afternoon, Bai Zhen tried to create plants using the running essence of water beasts.

[Water Beast Running Essence Lv. 1 (D-level ingredient): The precious essence collected from the lower water beasts. If consumed directly, even 1 drop of the essence can make people feel like they have endless energy. 】

Since the purpose is to obtain the cheaper running essence, the plants to be fused must be plants with large yields, or succulent plants.

In addition, the taste needs of mugwort must be met.

After thinking for a while, Bai Zhen chose the honey water grass he created before.

Honeyweed is created from waterweed + honey. It tastes sweet, like drinking coconut water.

Combining honeyweed and running essence, you should be able to get a good taste and a high yield.

Bai Zhen brought honey water plants of various levels, and finally selected the Lv. 1 honey water plant. In order to retain more of the effect of the running essence, Bai Zhen used more running essence and mixed 30ml of running essence at one time. All are used as strengthening materials, and the strengthening success rate is only 4%.

I tried it, but failed as expected.

I had no choice but to clean up the remnants of failed reinforcement.

Material fusion also has many limitations, such as different levels of measurement and deployment, as well as the choice of subject and object, which will affect the final product.

If you want to make a cheap medicine that can restore endurance, there is actually another way, which is to make a substitute plant for honey.

However, honey has high nutritional value and can enhance the effect of recovery medicine.

This characteristic is very obscure and not obvious. If a large amount of honey is not used as a strengthening material, it will be difficult for the created plants to inherit the characteristics of honey.

However, if a large amount of honey is used as a strengthening material, the success rate of strengthening will be further reduced, until the success rate is 0%.

This creates an endless loop.

Therefore, it is very difficult to replace honey. Unless a plant with characteristics similar to honey is found in the future, it is possible to completely replace precious honey by superimposing and strengthening the two materials.

After dinner in the evening, Bai Zhen immediately decided to set off with Huo Ya to Shuimei Forest to fight against water beasts and kappa frogs.

These two monsters are found in Shuiwulin, so there is no need for Bai Zhen to run around in both places.

After getting ready at night, Bai Zhen took Huo Ya and Amrido and set off for Shuimu Forest.

There is no need to go into details about the crusade process during this period.

The Kappa Frog is a high-level 1-star subjugation target with a level of 53.

The water beast is a high-level 2-star subjugation target, reaching level 57.

The two monsters have no ability to resist when facing the level 52 Boom Dragon that can super evolve.

But this time, in order to reach level 50 as soon as possible, Bai Zhen fought against these two monsters alone.

Bai Zhenya finally reached level 50 after defeating two high-level monsters.

9 month 8 day.

Today, Bai Zhen and Chang Pu agreed to go out together to defeat the horned dragon.

This time, Huo Ya will not follow him when he goes out for a crusade. Only Amrido will temporarily follow Bai Zhen out. Amrido is extremely curious about the world and can just go out and travel with Bai Zhen.

The reason why Huo Ya couldn't follow him this time is also very simple, because Bai Zhen and Zhu Lan made an agreement to entertain Zhu Lan on the island on September 9.

In addition, September 9th is also the day when the wheat fields mature, and September 9th is the day Bai Zhen and Rodna have made an appointment to sell red wine.

Bai Zhen went out to conquer the horned dragon this time, and he didn’t know when he would be able to return to Yanhuo Village. If everything goes well, he will be able to return to Yanhuo Village on the night of September 9th. If not, it will take him ten days and a half to conquer it. What might happen.

During this time, the farm must retain someone who can speak the language of the Pokémon world fluently.

After bidding farewell to Huo Ya and Shui Yun, Bai Zhen rode a large band and came to the entrance of the village to meet up with Calamus.

Calamus has its own Tooth Hound companion and Elle Cat companion, so long distance travel can be left to the Tooth Hound.

Bai Zhen saw that Acorus was carrying a light crossbow weapon and asked: "The horned dragon is most likely a ground-based monster. Are you ready with ice-free bullets and water-cooled bullets? The horned dragon's physical defense may be much higher than its physical defense. It must use attributes." Only energy can do damage.”

"Of course." Calamus nodded affirmatively.

One advantage of going hunting with Bai Zhen is that as an advocate of attribute theory, Bai Zhen is definitely the strongest in deducing monster abilities in Yanhuo Village.

This would save her a lot of trouble.

Chang Pu said: "Now that everything is ready, let's go to the sand plain to fight against the horned dragon."
