Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 103 Cat-style bed crossbow 0.5
Coconut Date scratched his head in embarrassment. "It's just a guess. Miniaturizing a bed crossbow is actually quite difficult. I've only just finished half of a prototype. I have no idea if it will work..."

Lin Lin thought that Coconut Date's idea was very promising. If it could be realized, the combination of Coconut Date and Tiao Tiao would be enough to achieve an effect that was no less powerful than that of Hunter.

More importantly, this combination possesses extremely strong mobility. Even the hunters in Yanhuo Village who never touch the ground may not be able to combine such outrageous flexibility and deal such strong damage at the same time.

Lin Lin suddenly lost interest in continuing his bath. He quickly wiped his body, changed into casual clothes, and said impatiently:

"Hurry up, let me see the prototype you made!"

Dates are quite helpless:

"I told you it's not finished yet, meow! I'm stuck at the materials step, meow!"

Although helpless, Yezao still led Lin Lin into its room, pushed away some of the debris on the ground, and displayed the half-finished small bed crossbow.

Then Coconut turned the capstan, pulling the crossbow on the bed crossbow, and the bowstring immediately made a rather ominous creaking sound.

Yezao asked Lin Lin to step back a little, put a shortened wooden stick into the groove of the crossbow, and then aimed at a simple wooden target in the corner and pulled the trigger.

"stretch--"

The bowstring of the bed crossbow broke instantly, and the wooden stick that served as the crossbow arrow also flew out, but not forward, but upward, so that it hit the ceiling and bounced back onto Lin Lin's arm, leaving a red mark on the spot.

Lin Lin grinned, not caring about the pain, but rather quite surprised.

WC, why didn’t I realize before that Date has this talent?

The crossbow in front of me looks quite realistic. Except that it is several times smaller, it is almost the same as the crossbow on the sand ship.

"You made all this on your own?"

Coconut Date rubbed his head sheepishly. "Not entirely, meow. I even went to the attendant equipment manufacturers several times to ask for their opinions. Although they were reluctant to make armor for Tiaotiao, they were still very enthusiastic about developing attendant equipment, meow!"

"And Tiaotiao also helped a lot during the testing, meow. Now Tiaotiao can bear the weight of this bed crossbow, meow, although it is a bit tiring, meow!"

"To reduce weight, I carved the crossbow's body out of knotted cloud wood, but the winch is made from parts produced in the workshop. The problem now is that after shrinking it, the original herbivorous dragon tendons can no longer be pressed in, and other materials can't bear the crossbow's power..."

While Yezao was still mumbling about the flaws of this unfinished product, Lin Lin had only one thought in his mind: Yezao was simply a genius!
"Is this what you call a semi-finished product?"

After solving the material problem, this TM is basically ready for battle, right? It feels like it's about the same power as the hunter's starting equipment, or maybe even higher.

With such hands-on ability, why don’t you just stop being a cat hunter and become a weapons processor directly? Maybe you can even make a cat-style dragon-slaying spear in the future?
Coconut Date nodded as a matter of course. "Yes, meow. There are still many details that need to be adjusted, meow. It is indeed a semi-finished product, meow!"

Lin Lin sucked his teeth. He was pretty good at hands-on work, so mixing hunting tools was no problem. But when it came to making weapons, especially weapons with many complicated parts, he was completely clueless. Although he was very excited, he couldn't help at all.

"Well...as for the materials, as we hunt more monsters, we'll always be able to find suitable ones. As for the rest...well, I'll try to introduce you to a few more craftsmen in the future."

Speaking of this, a village suddenly popped up in Lin Lin's mind, Naguli Village.

Or a more appropriate name would be Blacksmith Village.

That village, nestled near a volcano and nestled against the lava fields, is primarily populated by the Tulong tribe. It's a sacred place for artisans, developing new techniques every year and mastering the transformation of various artifacts. I think I'll have to take Jujube to Naguli Village someday. Not only can he learn and exchange techniques with the Tulong craftsmen, but he can also enjoy digging for protective stones in the volcano.

Oh, and speaking of the Guardian Stone, isn't the Alchemy House's deadline coming up soon? I'll have to check it out later...

The date palm naturally didn't know that in just a few seconds, Lin Lin's thoughts had jumped again and again and flew to the horizon. It just looked at Lin Lin with gratitude.

The boss is so nice, not only did he not blame it for tinkering with these things that sounded so whimsical, he even wanted to help it. He is really so nice, meow!

……

Yezao stayed at home, accompanying Tiaotiao and fiddling with the bed crossbow, while Lin Lin went out shopping in casual clothes, enjoying the exotic atmosphere.

Hey, you know what, the ethnic costumes on this side of the desert are really unique.

Because of the hot weather, people always dress as coolly as possible when going out during the day. Along the way, Lin Lin has seen many hot young ladies. In order to block the scorching sunlight, they will wear a layer of gauze over the cool clothes, so that their wheat-colored skin becomes faintly visible, with a dreamy and hazy beauty.

cough cough.

Lin Lin withdrew his gaze, rubbed his face, and thought to himself that he must have been in contact with that lecherous old president too much and was infected, otherwise how could he become like this?

call--

Calm down, think about Lanlong's ethereal figure and Bingbingzi's graceful and moving dance...

I can't calm down at all! I'm even more excited!

In order to divert his attention, Lin Lin looked among the crowds of vendors on the roadside and happened to see a stall selling various small jewelry.

Unlike those jewelers who sell colorful and dazzling jewelry, most of the items on this stall are colorful bracelets and necklaces made using various weaving techniques.

Lin Lin immediately fell in love with one of the red pendants with a thin golden thread. There was a coin on the pendant, and a small and exquisite special knot at the end, which allowed people to adjust the length of the pendant rope.

I always feel like this pendant would be a perfect match for the dragon-carved coins I dug up...

Even though Lin Lin was short of money, that was only for the bottomless pit of expenses on equipment. Lin Lin bought these little gadgets that cost only a few yuan each without blinking an eye.

"Yeah? Isn't this our great hero? Do you like this kind of gadget?"

A burly figure pushed through the crowd and came in front of Lin Lin.

Even though he didn't recognize this guy in casual clothes at first glance, Lin Lin reacted instantly because of his unique loud voice.

"Hey, you're just talking nonsense. You didn't contribute anything to pushing the bomb into that guy's mouth?"

　I'm not good at naming, so why not just call the Gunnery Ted? (bushi)
