Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

No longer driven by the greed fueled by the black dragon scales, Li Ai was finally able to discard most of her possessions and travel light.

"If I'm like this carrying scales, imagine how crazy it would be if an ordinary person wore armor made from these scales... How do top hunters eliminate the effects of powerful equipment?"

Li Ai speculated that those hunters might be like the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker.

Even wearing the Venom suit, he will not become corrupted or fall into depravity.

On the contrary, the determination to protect humanity may be further amplified and stimulated.

"Speaking of hunters, it would be great to encounter a small team."

The biggest difference between the monster world and other other worlds is that the humans here are extremely united and friendly.

Within human settlements organized by towns and villages, everyone works together to survive in the struggle against monsters and nature, and this applies even to those who have traveled from other worlds.

Hunters, in particular, are known for their willingness to help others and are revered by many.

As long as Li Ai expresses her need for help, any hunter team she encounters will be happy to escort her to the nearest village or town.

"It's a pity that this place is too close to Shudre City. There is no trace of human activity in the forest. It must have been designated as a restricted area, otherwise the resources would not be so abundant."

Realizing that she could only rely on herself, Li Ai downed a bottle of AD calcium milk, cheered herself up, and quickened her pace.

One day, two days, three days...

Just as he had expected, the presence of numerous monsters in the forest made it impossible for him to sleep peacefully.

Any rustling of leaves or the sound of footsteps at night can wake it up.

Only when they are exhausted to the extreme will they climb up the thick branches and take a short nap.

On the fourth day at noon, Li Ai, who was biting on a straw, had her eyelids half open and was extremely sleepy, but she still forced herself to walk in the shade of the trees.

"I can't keep pushing myself. This isn't Stardew Valley, where you can just collapse anywhere and someone will come to your rescue..."

Li Ai found a large tree and climbed to the top of the canopy, where she discovered a conspicuous orange strip of cloth tied to a branch.

After crawling over and taking a look, I confirmed that it was deliberately left by humans, and then pulled up the strip of cloth to examine it.

"The abandoned camp of the Hero Hunter Squad is just ahead. Good luck!"

Li Ai, perched on a tree branch, used the height to survey her surroundings.

Soon, on a tall tree branch in the distance, there was another identical orange strip of cloth, fluttering in the wind.

The thought of having a campsite to rest at immediately lifted Li Ai's spirits.

After following the trail, they arrived at a giant tree in the forest.

There were probably more than a dozen strips of cloth of various colors tied to the branches of the giant tree; it was hard not to notice them.

After observing the tree, Li Ai found a hole in the trunk covered by hanging vines.

Li Ai used all her strength to climb vertically upwards for a moment and entered.

A campfire, a barbecue grill, two large wooden crates, and a simple tent—this is undoubtedly the kind of campsite hunters often set up in the wild.

"The team was probably in poor condition after completing the hunting mission, which is why they didn't bring the camp facilities back."

Weariness washed over her again. Li Ai waved aside the cobwebs on the tent flap and lay down directly on the animal hide rug that reeked of mildew.

When I woke up, it was already late at night, and it was pitch black all around.

"The high-energy ecosystem here is truly extraordinary. A good night's sleep here feels like being reborn."

Li Ai discovered that sleep not only eliminated drowsiness, but also swept away the fatigue and muscle soreness accumulated over many days, bringing her body to a peak state.

"Xiao Ai, classmate."

After a few seconds, the smart voice assistant on the cracked POOPa5 responded: "I'm here."

"Turn on the flashlight."

This time, after waiting for about ten seconds, the phone's rear flash turned on.

"This phone is indeed a bit laggy."

When in the forest, Li Ai certainly wouldn't dare to turn on a flashlight or use voice control, but it's a different story at a relatively safe campsite.

With the help of the light, Li Ai left the tent and began exploring the inside of the tree hole.

They found several flints, a half-sharpened whetstone used for sharpening weapons, and a broken hunter's knife by the campfire.

Although it is called a knife, its size is already similar to that of a modern scimitar.

Unfortunately, even this weapon is only used when extracting monster materials.

As for the damage to the blade, Li Ai didn't care.

After all, if it were truly intact, no hunter would have left it at the camp.

Li Ai herself, however, desperately needed a machete to cut through the bushes to help with the rest of the journey.

"It would be perfect if the hunter had kept the scabbard as well."

After searching the blue supply crates and the red drop boxes, I only found a withered blue mushroom.

"We've searched everywhere we can, that's..."

Behind the box, on the bark of a tree, there was a rectangular area that had been scraped smooth. Li Ai could vaguely see a row of carved characters on it, so she immediately moved closer to shine the light on it to observe.

"In March 381, the Hero Hunter Team of Kokot Village discovered this tree hollow and established a camp. The weather has been good recently, and there are a large number of Blue Velociraptors appearing in the surrounding area. Teams that see them should be careful."

After reading the first piece of intelligence, Li Ai glanced at the calendar on her phone and found that it was September 389, eight years since the tree hole camp was established.

I went through the intelligence reports one by one.

Every hunter team that has moved in here has left behind ecological information at that time, hoping to help teams that have recently moved in.

According to these comments, this campsite is located on the edge of the forest hills and is not frequently visited by small teams.

Generally, only during the fire dragon breeding season in spring, when the fire dragon population excessively expands its territory, will small teams venture into the surrounding areas.

Some teams shared their joy at achieving a successful hunt and advancing their star rating, while others expressed their grief and sorrow over the deaths of their teammates during the hunt.

It's something like a message board.

What touched Li Ai the most was the record from April 385.

The two teams arrived at the camp on the same day, despite a significant difference in star rating.

One group came to hunt Rathalos, and the other came to steal Rathalos eggs.

But the two groups of hunters who met by chance still gathered around the campfire, eating roasted meat, chatting and sharing their stories.

Looking at the bonfire made of stones, the scene of the firelight illuminating the tree hole in the record seems to be right before my eyes.

"It feels so warm and cozy... It's a pity that judging from the last time, no team has moved in here for two years."

Li Ai raised the broken-bladed knife and engraved the surrounding information she had seen onto it, along with the time.

Next to the message board, there was also a smooth area that had been scraped out.

A simple map was engraved on it, and several other camps scattered throughout the forest were also roughly marked with their locations.

buzz~

The phone vibrated twice, and Li Ai picked it up to check.

After noticing the updated red dot on the map, tap it.

Several locations in the unexplored black fog of Senqiu were subsequently marked with campsites and question marks.

"The maps I've viewed are automatically saved in the sync? That's so convenient!"

Setting off late at night is not a wise choice.

Li Ai decided to take this opportunity to study it carefully, as her biggest asset at the moment was the cracked screen version of the POOPa5.

I had similar thoughts before, but the dangerous environment in the wild never gave me the chance.

"Claim the folding phone you've accumulated from the top-ups first. That way, the claim limit will be greatly increased when it refreshes at midnight, and the phone won't lag, plus the screen will be bigger."

Just as Li Ai was about to make a selection, she suddenly remembered something.

"I hope that physical explosion bug can be reproduced here too..."

Li Ai pondered for a moment, then pushed the storage box, which was pressed against the inside of the tree hole, outwards slightly, and then hid behind the box.

After tapping to confirm receipt, the phone was thrown out from behind the box like a sonic boom grenade.

Although it's a cracked screen version of the POOPa5 that often lags, its performance is incredibly strong.

Even when Li Ai held the Black Dragon's Scale Broken Edge, the sharp edge of the sword couldn't add a single scratch to the screen.

呲呲!

A high-frequency squeezing sound came, followed by a loud bang, and then the giant tree canopy was smashed open, and a faint moonlight shone into the tree hole camp through the gap.

Li Ai leaned closer, looking at the night sky through the gap in the tree canopy. The shattered screen of the POOPa5 had turned into a star, its destination unknown.

"There's a reason why players hate bugs. If I got solo killed by a mobile game, I would definitely lose my temper."

Li Ai picked up the normal POOPa5 left on the ground and turned it on to check it.

The page scrolling frame rate is much higher, and the lag is less frequent.

"I was thinking of trying to use two phones to get an extra daily purchase of limited-edition items... Sigh~ Why did they have to add daily limits to in-game purchases in the first place? If players spend enough money, they deserve to get stronger."

Li Ai tried again, this time making use of the red collection box as well.

Confirm receipt, drop into the donation box, then leap to dodge.

Sizzle! ...Bang!

The lid of the gift box flew open and exploded, another ray of moonlight fell, and the regular version of POOPa5 also flew away like a shooting star.

"At least leave me one, so I can use it to conquer monster girls."

Monster girls have all sorts of quirky personalities and hobbies. Even among the same type of monster, their inclinations differ depending on whether they are subspecies, two individuals, rare species, or overlords.

For those who are curious about new things and extremely playful, a mobile phone is definitely a powerful tool for success.

Picking up the POOPa5 Pro from the bottom of the box, face unlock opened instantly, and all interfaces were smooth and fluid, demonstrating a noticeable performance improvement.

"How can we exploit this bug where replacing the phone doesn't eliminate the files, and keep more phones?"

Looking at the POOPa5pro in his hand, which had just experienced a physical explosion but was completely undamaged, Li Ai immediately thought of a possibility.

"Perhaps in this world, only a cell phone can block a cell phone."

Snap~ Snap~...

Pick up the phone and drop it repeatedly from different heights.

Li Ai recalled the approximate time delay after clicking to claim the phone and the appearance of the higher-model phone.

"When the new phone is generated, the old phone must be kept in the air. This way, when the models overlap, there will be space for them to push each other away, and the physical explosion effect will not be so violent. Even if some of them are embedded in each other after landing, as long as the new phone is on top, the old phone will not be able to break it and escape."

After figuring out the strategy, Li Ai hid behind the box. After clicking to claim the item, she didn't throw it immediately, but instead conjured a high-arcing instant-explosion device.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~

I ducked behind the box and lay down. This time, the scraping sound I heard was much quieter and the frequency was also much lower.

Snap~ Snap~

Two thuds came from behind the box, and Li Ai glanced at it.

The POOPa5pro and POOPa5proMax phones lay quietly on the ground.

After waiting for two minutes, I confirmed that there were no abnormalities.

Li Ai emerged from behind the box and picked up the two cell phones.

"Haha, I'm such a genius!"

However, Li Ai's joy was short-lived, as he soon discovered that he was strongly bound to his phone.

If one phone logs in and another phone also logs in, the user will be instantly forced offline.

An attempt to claim double the daily premium items from the in-game store has been confirmed to be unsuccessful.

The daily refresh time at midnight is fast approaching.

Li Ai then used the same method again, employing a high-throw instantaneous detonation technique, to save the POOPa5proMax.

I also got the ultimate phone with the most charging, the POOPa5 folding phone.

"Xiao Ai, classmate."

"I am here!"

The voice assistant responded instantly, replying in a deep, powerful male voice.

"It truly lives up to its name as a triple-fold design; even the voice assistant exudes such presence."

Unfolding the screen, Li Ai felt as if she were looking at a memorial to the throne.

"If the phone is indestructible, then the defensive area is quite large... It's midnight, and the items have respawned."

Li Ai opened the shop and saw that the quantity of items such as AD calcium milk had increased to 7 per day due to cumulative recharge rewards.

This is a full 4 more per day than for free-to-play players.

Li Ai had originally planned to have the numerical design team optimize the game to prevent the gap between free-to-play and pay-to-win players from widening too much.

Looking back now, I feel I gave too little.

After repairing the supply box, climbing to the treetop to fill the gap, and putting everything back in its place, Li Ai lit a campfire and ate some snacks and a few skewers of roasted blue mushrooms.

After using a broken-blade knife to trim the flag draped over her body to make it more suitable for wearing close to her skin, Li Ai took a short nap to conserve her energy.

As dawn broke, light began to emanate from the forest.

Li Ai, holding the broken-bladed dagger, set off again.

Four days later, at noon, he successfully emerged from the jungle and found himself in a vast, flat grassland.

Small groups of herbivorous dragons were walking around, munching on the grass on the ground.

Li Ai's mood did not become more relaxed as the terrain opened up.

"Without the forest to block the view, it feels so dangerous."

Li Ai believes that her greatest survival advantage is that she has a very low meat content.

The fire dragon flying high in the sky probably wouldn't even bother to swoop down and launch a predatory attack.

But Li Ai didn't want to gamble on that possibility.

Watching the herbivorous dragons leisurely eating, an idea immediately popped into my head.

"Although herbivorous dragons are canned meat, they are at least native to the forest hills. If they were eaten without restraint, they would have gone extinct long ago without any means of control. Besides, it's about time I got my first monster girl companion."

Li Ai then lay down in the grass and began to observe and record the herbivorous dragons on the plain one by one.

"Hehe, this one is really lively, it even dares to defy an adult... That one is not bad either, its limbs are strong and its body is stable enough when it runs... Oh, it's a male. The affection level required for male monsters to be female is too high, it's not suitable to try to win it over now... This one is amazing, it has two males following it."

Li Ai became more and more engrossed in what she was watching, and before she knew it, dusk was approaching.

"A total of thirty-three were observed and recorded...that's a lot!"

Just as Li Ai was preparing to conduct a thorough comparison and selection...

A lone little herbivorous dragon arrived at the grassland plain in the afterglow of the sun.

She didn't go to eat the most fertile grass, but lingered in the corners that were almost completely eroded.

It maintains a moderate distance from the nearest family of three herbivorous dragons.

"She seemed very scared and wanted to fit in with others of her kind to gain a sense of security, but she didn't dare to get too close, so she kept her distance, just like some foster children."

The family of three ignored the presence of the little herbivorous dragon and continued to eat grass with their heads down.

Li Ai believes that, given the harshness of the wild environment, her tribe and family are most likely no longer alive.

At that moment, on the distant plains, an adult herbivorous dragon let out a low roar.

All the herbivorous dragons living in family units began to obey the command and move towards the jungle that Li Ai had emerged from today.

"As expected, herbivorous dragons also have their own survival strategies. The reason they can forage here is because they are close enough to this jungle. If a predator gets close, they can escape immediately."

The little herbivorous dragon raised its neck, looking quite bewildered.

Its forelegs kept lifting and landing in place, clearly indicating that it had no idea whether it should follow the group's movement.

"No, this one is too timid. Be a little thicker-skinned and follow it. Maybe the tribe will accept you."

Although recruiting a herbivorous dragon monster to become a partner doesn't require much resource consumption, Li Ai is currently in dire need of protection, so it's better to choose a powerful individual.

After all the herbivorous dragons entered the jungle, only one lone figure remained, still wandering in the same spot.

Waaah~

The little herbivorous dragon drooped its neck and whimpered, eating while crying.

Suddenly, a pair of dirty, worn-out cotton slippers came into view.
