Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 229

In front of the blacksmith shop.

Dao Wen hunched his waist slightly, pushed aside the curtain of the shop, looked at the three large carts filled with materials in front of him, and fell silent for a moment.

Then he raised his head, looked at the three young hunters who were grinning in front of him, and shook his head helplessly.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter if I’m a little tired. It’s a good thing that the children can grow in strength.

"Don't be anxious, take your time and talk about them one by one."

Dao Wen walked slowly to one of the cars, looked at the materials piled inside, took out a sharp amber fang from it, and looked at it for a moment.

"Ice Fang Dragon material? The quality is pretty good. What are you planning to make?"

Brave hurried forward a few steps, "Do you think it will be enough to build a set of armor?"

Old Man Daowen searched carefully again, then nodded, "That's enough. Just make a set of armor? What about weapons?"

Brave's expression lit up with joy. "If possible, please help me forge a sword!"

Dao Wen nodded, then shook his head, leaving Brave a little confused.

So the old man started to explain:

"It's not enough to just create an Ice Fang Vermillion Blade, but if I use the Bone Dachi—the Jaw Blade—as a base weapon and strengthen it, then there's no problem."

Brave suddenly realized, "Then I'll have to trouble you to make another jaw blade. Do you think this car is big enough to make a jaw blade?"

The old man took a quick look, stroked his beard, and smiled, "That's enough. The workload is quite large, and it will probably take you nearly a month to complete this set."

Next, he walked to the second car and looked at the miscellaneous materials piled on it. He blinked for a moment and his eyes swept between Lin Lin and Ye Zi.

At first he couldn't quite tell what this car was intended to be built for.

Lin Lin quickly stepped forward and said, "I want to forge a water-attributed shield axe, an ice-attributed shield axe, and some Swamp Crossing Pearls. I also want to ask you what the effect would be if I used the materials of the Transformed Ice Shark to create armor?"

Making so many at once? No wonder there are so many messy materials.

When he thought of the huge workload ahead, Mr. Dao Wen couldn't help but rub his brows with a headache, but at the same time he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

It’s great to see the young people today full of vitality and prosperity. It makes me feel that there is hope for the future.

So he leaned over and carefully checked the materials in the car.

"This frozen fish... is an armored rock bream, right? The water-attributed shield axe you're planning to make is the [Viking Shield]? That girl Yezi told you, right?"

Lin Lin chuckled and scratched his head, responding to the other party's question.

"Samehada scales, frozen metal, a water bag... No, this is a large water bag. It looks like it was taken from a mudfish... Well, that's enough. Now, do you still want the meat of this armored rockfish? To make a weapon with it, you have to hollow out the fish meat. If you don't want it, I'll eat it!"

"How can I accept this? You should eat it first!"

"Haha, okay, then I'll have an extra meal tonight. Um...is this a swordfish?" Lin Lin nodded quickly.

"You're lucky, kid. With this and the frozen metal, if you catch two more armored rock bream, I can enhance your Viking Shield into the Fresh Axe Golden Carp Shield."

"As for the ice-attribute shield axe...are you planning to use the materials from this transformed ice shark?"

"Do you think there's any show?"

"It's a bit difficult. I don't have the corresponding design drawings, but looking at the materials in my hand now, I actually have some inspiration."

"As for armor, you're pretty lucky. When Puxian went out to train, he brought me back the recipe for two sets of equipment. The main material used was from the Transformed Ice Shark. Would you like to see it?"

(The pictures above and below show the armor designs of G-position and upper and lower positions respectively. I wonder which one you think is more handsome)

Old man Dao Wen went back to the blacksmith shop and searched for a while. After a while, he came back to Lin Lin with a yellowed deerskin roll and showed him the design drawings.

Then Lin Lin's eyes lit up.

Regardless of the specific skills of the suit, just looking at the appearance, this suit is really cool, right?!
And it is his favorite fully enclosed armor. After putting it on, he can directly COS the card face and it won’t look abrupt!

Looking at Lin Lin's shining eyes, Old Man Dao Wen chuckled softly, and then introduced slowly:
"This armor, crafted from Transformed Ice Shark material, is quite heavy. It's even heavier than the Sand Dragon suit you're wearing now, so it'll be easier to stabilize yourself when defending against monster attacks. [Block Performance +2]"

(The old game's blocking performance +2 is equivalent to the fifth-level defense performance of World Rise)

"This equipment was designed primarily with heavy weapon users like gunlances in mind. Its structure was specifically designed to maximize the impact of bombardment, thereby enhancing the explosive effect of the bombardment. Of course, with the development of weapons like the shield axe, this structure was slightly adjusted to make the shield axe energy bottle's explosion more powerful. [Artilleryman]"

(In XX, the pure armor skill point is 11 points, and the grenade bottle damage is increased by 1.15 times. If you insert a few more beads to 15 points, it will become [Artillery King], and the grenade bottle damage will be increased by 1.3 times. This is blurred here)

"Finally, thanks to the fact that the Transformed Ice Shark is a monster that lives in the icy sea year-round, its material also has extremely excellent cold-proof properties. Perhaps due to its excessive adaptability to cold regions, it will also allow the wearer to unleash even greater strength in the ice and snow."

(Cold adaptation, activate the skill North Wind Hunter, the effect is that cold is ineffective, and the attack power and defense power are increased in cold areas. The attack power is further increased after drinking cold drinks)
Lin Lin stared at Dao Wen blankly, and Dao Wen looked back silently.

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Lin Lin rubbed his face. Although the equipment looked very cool and the activated skills were pretty good, it always felt a little too little.
"Cough cough..."

Old Man Daowen coughed dryly. "After all, this is a design from many years ago. At that time, the level of equipment design was not as advanced as it is now. I can try to improve it, but it will take more time."

Lin Lin nodded hesitantly, "Thank you for your help..."

Then, he remembered something and asked quickly:
"By the way, do you think I have enough materials for the Numadou Pearls? I'm planning to forge a few more, and I'd be grateful if you could inlay them into my armor..."

"That's enough, three is enough? I guarantee you'll be like a fish in water!"

Dao Wen waved his hand nonchalantly. He had already accepted so many jobs, so he wouldn't mind a little more workload, right?
