Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 80: Promotion to Three Stars (No Emotion)

"That's it..."

The mustache president tugged at his beard and said, "That's not a big problem. It's a bit troublesome, but it will be fine once we complete the paperwork."

"It's actually not uncommon for hunters to participate in hunts without receiving commissions. However, that's usually because the hunters who received the commission sent out a distress signal. The other hunters' participation in the hunt is essentially a rescue effort, not a mission. This is different from your situation."

"Alas, young people are prone to impulsiveness. It only takes a few minutes to complete the formalities. Since the caravan was able to send a distress letter, it means the situation is not so critical that every second counts."

The mustache president sighed, "Brother Lin Lin, what's the name of the hunter with you?"

Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief for Brav in his heart. It seemed that nothing was wrong.

"Brave, a two-star swordsman and a member of the Fortress Guerrilla Force."

"Two stars?"

The mustache president raised his head again.

"Eh? Any problem?"

The mustache-faced president glanced at the red-marked receipt, then laboriously pulled out a list from under the counter and found Brave's name on it.

"Let me see……"

"Well, no problem."

A question mark popped up on Lin Lin's forehead. What was going on? He was so scared, but when I asked him, he said nothing happened?
"When I first heard it was a two-star hunter, I was shocked. I almost thought he had run away. No matter how worried I am, I can't do such a reckless thing!"

Lin Lin blinked, "Then why not count it?"

"So I took a look at his resume. Luckily, this guy was quite steady during his two-star period and had already accumulated a sufficient number of completed missions. Even if this hadn't happened, he should have been promoted to three stars after the Great Desert Feast. Although he didn't follow the rules, the suspicion of sneaking out can be dispelled."

Lin Lin just relaxed a bit when he heard the mustache-wearing president sigh, "But rules are rules after all, they can't be broken casually. Where's that brat? I've got to give him a good beating!"

Lin Lin silently mourned for the other party, "He's still escorting the caravan back. It will probably take another week for him to return."

The mustache-wearing president snorted, temporarily letting the matter go, and began to process Lin Lin's certification.

Perhaps it was because of the letter. Even though Lin Lin did not produce any materials from the Earth Sand Dragon, the mustache president did not suspect him of forgery. Instead, after a series of operations that dazzled Lin Lin, he returned the Hunter's Notes with three stars printed on the cover to him.

Of course, along with the notes, there was also a heavy reward.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin Lin, from now on you are a three-star hunter. Keep working hard in the future!"

Three stars, although it seems that it is just the beginning on the hunter's road, but for most hunters, a four or five-star dragon is something they can never reach in their entire life. Being able to be promoted to three stars is already a very remarkable achievement.

However, Lin Lin did not feel anything about this. After all, he had already defeated the Black Dragon in the game. Even if he repeatedly reminded himself that this was a real world, it was difficult for him to be excited about the promotion to three stars. All he could think about now was going back to sleep.

The mustache-faced president also noticed that Lin Lin was sleepy, so he didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and sent him back to his cabin to sleep.

The next day.

It was already past noon when Lin Lin rubbed his eyes and got up. "Tsk, it seems I was really tired yesterday. Even my body clock that tells me to wake up early didn't work."

After a simple wash and a mid-morning tea that was neither breakfast nor lunch, Lin Lin prepared to go out to find the leader of the Sand Ship Group to show off the news of his successful hunting of the Sand Dragon.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw Coconut Date following him out.

"Um... Date, are you going too?"

Lin Lin rubbed his brows. The main reason was that when he had agreed with the leader of the sand ship group, Juzao was not with him yet. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to bring him on board?
And more importantly, even if he brought the dates on board, could he also bring Tiaotiao? If he didn't bring them, would he lose something while gaining something? Would Tiaotiao have any ideas?
Taking a step back, even if Tiao Tiao doesn't have the complicated thoughts of humans, Lin Lin is still not very reassured to leave it alone at home. Even if Tiao Tiao has regarded this place as his new nest and won't run out unless necessary, what if a thief wants to sneak in and steal things?

"Where are you going, meow?"

Yezao's puzzled voice brought Lin Lin back to his senses.

"Um... nothing much, so where are you going, Coconut Date?"

"Go to the processor in town, meow!"

Coconut Date tapped the acorn cat armor he was wearing, which was only used by novice hunter cats. "I met several craftsmen when I bought equipment last time. I'll go ask if they can design a set of armor for Tiaotiao!"

"That's it..."

Lin Lin coughed dryly. Coconut Date was really full of energy. Unlike him, although he always put various things in the to-do list, they were basically just in the planning stage... Well, this must be because he was too busy!

dock.

It is still the same bustling scene with people coming and going and the noise of people bustling about.

With this batch of Jieyun wood shipped from Jieyun Village, the Fengshan Maru is not brand new at the moment, but at least it is not as shabby as before. Various originally damaged places have been patched with Jieyun wood. Although it certainly does not look beautiful, it is definitely second to none in terms of durability.

At this time, the repair and maintenance work on the Mineyama Maru was almost complete. The reason why the dock was still so lively was that people were using the remaining wood to strengthen other ships of the Sand Fleet.

Quentin folded his arms and stared at the tall Fengshan Maru. He then turned his head and instructed his deputy to take people to conduct another comprehensive inspection of Fengshan Maru. He must be absolutely cautious and not make any mistakes.

Just as he was turning his gaze to the sand ship that was being reinforced nearby, he suddenly noticed someone walking straight towards him and subconsciously turned his head to look.

Dog dragon armor, bone shield and axe, is a novice.

Taking another closer look at his face, he remembered: Wasn't this the newcomer brought here by the high-ranking heavy crossbow user? He had come all alone to find him. Had he finally realized his own abilities and come to him to plead for mercy?
No, shouldn't I come with that high-ranking heavy crossbow user to plead for mercy, so they can put more pressure on him and force him to relent? Coming alone, is that a sign of backing down?

"Captain, are you busy? I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"It's okay, I'm pretty free right now."

The captain smiled politely and pretended to think. "You're... Oh, I remember now. You're the new guy who came with the heavy crossbowman last time? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Lin grinned, showing the smile of a sunny and cheerful big boy.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you when we can go aboard for training."
