Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 111 The Imminent Threat

The mustache president didn't say anything more. After confirming that Lin Lin had no more information, he left in a hurry. But before leaving, he seemed to remember something and turned to Lin Lin and said:

"I almost forgot to mention that the mission to repel the Peak Dragon has been completed. I sent it to the cabin earlier. I'm keeping the Elu for you. Remember to check it out when you get back."

"Battles like this against oversized ancient dragons are difficult to rank by star level, so they'll be recorded in the Hunter's Notes as special quests without stars. The reward will be triple the average reward for quests corresponding to the hunter's level."

By level?

Lin Lin curled his lips. The average reward for a three-star mission is about 3,000 z. Doesn't that mean his reward is only about 10,000 z?

Although ten thousand z was not a small amount for Lin Lin, who had just built weapons and armor and spent a lot of money to refine protective stones, successfully turning himself into a pauper, but after all, this was to face the ancient dragon directly, and ten thousand z always felt a little short of the mark.

The mustache-wearing president, who came from a businessman background, saw what Lin Lin was thinking at a glance and added with a laugh:
"I haven't finished yet. The reward is calculated according to the hunter level, and there is also a bonus. This is divided according to the merit. You have made an invaluable contribution in this battle!"

"Let me think... the prize money alone seems to be over 50,000. Lifting the box of money is going to be a struggle!"

More than 50,000? Then including the remuneration, wouldn't it be more than 60,000?

Lin Lin's eyes lit up. What a great feeling! We are rich now!
He rubbed his hands, a little impatient to go to his residence, but suddenly he thought of something and turned back to look at the mustache president.

"By the way, Guild Master, as a high-ranking hunter, how much is Rachel's reward and bonus? Could you please tell me?"

Every time the mission difficulty increases by one star, the reward will increase significantly. Considering Rachel's level of a six-star hunter, if the reward triples, wouldn't it be over 100,000? Just thinking about it makes me want to drool...

"Well... ahahaha, didn't Rachel leave right after the Harvest Festival?"

"I'm afraid I can't send her my share of the reward money, so I can only take the initiative and exchange the money for something else..."

The mustache-faced president scratched his face, looking a little embarrassed. Why didn't they invite high-ranking hunters to previous banquets? Wasn't it because the reward was too high and they couldn't afford it?

Although it is said that high-ranking hunters are generally not short of money as long as their fortunes do not sink into the sea, as a qualified guild manager, he cannot really refuse to give money just because others do not want it. He can only give it flexibly. This is called flexibility.

"Something else?"

Lin Lin tilted his head. One hundred thousand z, how could it be exchanged for something else?

The mustache-faced president scratched his hair and said, "For example, a property or something..."

Lin Lin subconsciously glanced in the direction of the hunter's cabin, and the image of the mansion emerged in his mind.

That set, how could it be worth millions?

"What are you thinking? Those hunter's cabins belong directly to the guild. I can only decide who uses them. They are separate houses!"

Lin Lin couldn't help but touch his face with an awkward smile. Are my thoughts so easy to guess?

……

After returning from the training ground, Brave had already packed his things and was waiting in the living room for Lin Lin to go together.

After spending some time together, Tiaotiao had become much more familiar with this shrimp-headed human who was greedy for his body. He treated him as if he didn't exist and was happily chewing on the big steak that Lin Lin had specially prepared for him.

Seeing Lin Lin coming back, he came up to him curiously, his gossip spirit burning, "What did the old president tell you? Why is he so mysterious?" Lin Lin took off the earth sand shield axe, put it against the wall, stretched, and then sat down on the sofa.

"Nothing much, just saying that the Peak Dragon might visit Rocklark in a couple of days."

"Tsk, forget it if you can't say it, this joke is not funny."

Lin Lin blinked and said, "I'm not kidding."

Brave jumped to attention. "Are you kidding? But didn't that guy just get beaten back?"

Lin Lin relaxed his whole body and sank completely into the sofa. Unfortunately, he was protected by the hard armor and could not feel the softness.

"Who told you it's the same one? The Fengshan dragon that came a few days ago was from out of town. The local one hasn't come yet this year!"

Brave seemed a little anxious. He walked around Lin Lin twice, then suddenly looked at him again:

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

Lin Lin shrugged. "This is the judgment made by the Guild Master and the people from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau. The Peak Mountain Dragon will most likely arrive soon."

"Boiled!"

Brave suddenly stamped his foot, drawing a strange look from Lin Lin. "What's going on?"

Brave pointed to his packed luggage and said, "Given the situation, I definitely have to stay and defend Rocklark! Isn't all this luggage packed in vain?"

"Hey, that's it. Just leave it there for now. Once we defeat the Peak Mountain Dragon, we can just take it away. How much easier would that be?"

Brave suddenly glanced at Lin Lin in confusion. "Why don't you seem nervous at all? Right now, Locklark's defenses are at their weakest point of the year. Are you so confident that we can repel the Peak Dragon once again?"

Lin Lin touched his chest, sensing the weak connection that still existed with the foreign mountain dragon, and was silent for a moment.

"It's okay. At least after giving it my all, I still have another choice and I won't be in despair."

"For the rest, just do your best."

Brave looked at Lin Lin blankly, not understanding what riddle he was telling, but Lin Lin's calmness still infected him, making him less anxious than when he first heard the news.

Lin Lin quickly changed the subject. "Don't overthink it. Since the Guild Master came to see me just now, it means that Rocklark will be fully prepared for the arrival of the Peak Dragon. Rest well. You might be called back by the Fortress Guerrillas in a couple of days."

Lin Lin's words came true. Not even two days later, on the second day, Brave was called to the assembly hall, hoping that he could participate in the battle.

They simply boarded the Mineyama Maru as hunters, rather than defending the fortress guerrillas on the defense line that had been reinforced a lot in recent days and transformed from a temporary structure into a semi-permanent fortification.

Not only Brave, but all the hunters still active in Rocklak have received the call, preparing to face the threat of the super-large ancient dragon again.

Originally, after the Harvest Festival, Rocklak was often a battlefield for merchants. However, when the news that the Peak Mountain Dragon might attack again spread like the wind, the atmosphere that was originally joyful due to the Harvest Festival quietly became much more solemn.
