Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

He's the master craftsman of the Dragon Tribe of Barubare, the one who built the defense team's musket behind you."

"Mr. Craftsman?" Muti blinked, then suddenly realized, "Oh, so it seems that the Thousand Blade Dragon species was first discovered by the brigade.

Mr. Craftsman always likes to look up at the starry sky at night, saying that the countless stars are the best signposts to point the way on a journey.

"I see." The old craftsman nodded slowly. "Do you hope that the weapons in the hunters' hands will become the stars that point their way forward?"

The three of them fell silent for a moment.

"But Betelgeux seems to symbolize 'female warrior' meow? Boss, isn't this direction wrong meow?" Seabuckthorn muttered while scratching his head.

"Bang!"

Aolan used a rare strong punch on Seabuckthorn's head, "Shut up!"

The beautiful atmosphere that the designer intended hidden in the weapon has been completely destroyed!

“In short,” the old craftsman calmed down and continued to explain, “This sword does not have any attribute energy, but the extremely high hardness of the material itself gives it extremely outstanding sharpness (white cutting) and destructive power.

The arrangement of the center of gravity is perfect. In the hands of a user with superb swordsmanship, even the weak points between the narrow gaps in the shell can be accurately cut into (critical hit rate 10-20).

In addition to these, this sword has a very special feature, which the designer calls 'Blade Scale Grinding' (Exquisite Flash plus Extra Sharpness).

Aolan had some guesses. "You mean, this sword, like the scales on armor, can serve as a polish?"

"That's a bit like that." The old craftsman nodded slightly. "However, the blade scales on armor polish other objects through friction, while this sword can polish itself through other objects."

"Isn't that the case with all weapons?" Muti asked, puzzled. "Isn't sharpening a normal weapon just using a whetstone to sharpen itself?"

"It shouldn't be that simple." The old dragon shook his head. "I don't know exactly how to use it. The designer mentioned this feature in the drawings, but didn't explain it in detail."

But Orlan smiled.

Yes, the old man is a craftsman, so of course he doesn’t know, but he is a hunter, and a katana user who is good at using various precise dodging and parrying techniques such as Mikiri and Iai.

In the moment of dodging and parrying the monster's attack, use the monster's claws to sharpen the blade, and then launch a powerful counterattack.

Without a doubt, this is the true usage of the so-called "Blade Scale Research Equipment"!

PS. The Thousand Blade Dragon armor and weapons here are a combination of the performance of x and the wilderness. Some overly powerful abilities have been removed. After all, it is only a five-star equipment.

As for the claim that the Dragonman craftsman of the brigade created the Thousand Blade Dragon series of equipment, it is of course a second idea. However, the Thousand Blade Dragon was a new species first discovered by the brigade in 4G, so it is reasonable for that craftsman to develop a set of equipment.

Moreover, the naming of the Tachi Rigel "Female Warrior (Bellatrix)" and the characteristics of the Blade Scale Research Equipment that are suitable for cutting around, inexplicably match. When designing equipment, the familiar hunter is used as the user template or something.

Chapter 296 If the name of the move is not called out, you can choose it at will

Orlan couldn't be more satisfied with his new armor and weapons.

He just made a slight suggestion about the tightness of certain parts of the armor, and the modification took less than five minutes. The old craftsman quickly adjusted the armor to the most suitable state for him.

Afterwards, the old craftsman showed Seabuckthorn its new equipment.

"There are many styles of Thousand Blade Dragon Cat Armor, including heavy armor that enhances defense and light armor that pursues flexibility and lightness. I chose the latter according to your request.

This cat armor is made from the wing membrane of a thousand-blade dragon, combined with thinner scales."

"Actually, there's also a special design that mimics a lucky cat statue, but I felt that that set of armor wasn't flexible enough and less practical, so I didn't consider it."

Seabuckthorn nodded his little head vigorously. The strong but too heavy armor would do more harm than good to him. Light armor would definitely be more suitable for his combat habits.

"As for the weapons, the original design for the hunting cats featured an axe spear made of blade scales, but I heard you say at the time that you were the assisting cat operating the machinery?

I took the initiative to make a small hammer for you. The prototype is the Wanbao hammer that matches the lucky cat-shaped cat armor I mentioned earlier.

The top and end of the hammer handle are decorated with flats and notches, allowing it to be used as a screwdriver or a wrench.

If the cat armor just now only made Seabuckthorn feel "pretty good", then this golden cat hammer that combines multiple functions such as hammer, screwdriver, wrench, etc., hit its heart hard.

"That's awesome, meow! You're worthy of being a master craftsman, meow!" It held the golden cat hammer and kept touching it.

Then it put down the hammer and bowed deeply to the old craftsman.

Most craftsmen do not take the opinions of hunting cats too seriously, and tend to be more free when designing hunting cat equipment.

This can be seen from the strange and bizarre cat armors and weapons with unique shapes.

Especially in terms of weapons, ordinary cat swords are still okay, there are also various forks, axes, guns, hammers, sickles and even teddy bears. Even for a melee cat like Yuwan, how can he be proficient in everything?

So it had no interest in changing its equipment and did not specifically raise any request. Unexpectedly, the old man listened to what it said to Boss Orlan at that time and even designed this small hammer that was really suitable for it.

"Thank you very much, meow! We'll put it to good use, meow!"

The old craftsman smiled and touched its head, then looked at Muti and Yuwan who also looked expectant.

"I saw the materials you brought. You're planning on crafting the Dragon Slayer Gunlance, right? I never imagined you'd actually bring back Dragon Slayer materials in just a few days.

Don't think I'm being long-winded. Running away is okay once or twice, but don't do it again and again after you've tasted the sweetness. Better be cautious."

After a brief sermon, without giving Oranmuti and the others a chance to respond, the old craftsman waved his hand, indicating that Muti should put the materials on the workbench, and then took a magnifying glass and a small hammer to check for internal cracks and carefully examined them.

The old craftsman examined it very carefully. After more than a quarter of an hour, he stood up, pounded his lower back, and nodded, "Good material, enough to make a dragon-slaying gunpowder."

Creating weapons is not as complicated as armor, but the mechanical structure of the gunpowder is more difficult to make and takes about four to five days.

There will be a lot of leftover materials. Do you need to make cat armor or cat swords?"

"Let's make cat armor!" Yuwan, who had already made the decision, said without hesitation.

"Okay, do you have any other personal needs?"

Muti immediately raised his hand. "I'll be doing a lot of slashing moves! So if you can, help me make the blade more powerful. And the shield, too. Make it thicker and stronger. I'm very strong, so it's no problem!"

Yuwan also showed his steel claws, "I'm different from that one over there. I'm a melee cat, meow. I like to jump on monsters and attack. Just do as you see fit, meow!"

"I understand. The cat armor and the gun lance will be made together." After writing down their needs with a pen, the old craftsman shouted to the front, "Barry! Come and help the customer measure the data!"

Muti's face froze when he heard this, and he even stuttered. "Didn't I measure the data when I made the armor two months ago? Yes, is it necessary to measure it again?"

The old craftsman said seriously, "Other things are easy to say, but key data like height and arm length must be reconfirmed.

Don't worry, it's just a few simple parameters, it's not as troublesome as armor and won't take as much time."

Muti had a sad face, she was not afraid of trouble.

Hearing the call, Bali trotted over, threw away the bandage that fixed her arm, stepped on the stool with a tape measure, and began to measure excitedly.

Muti hunched his head and chest, trying to make himself shorter.

But under the old craftsman's scolding, "Stand up straight! Open your shoulders! Do you want your new weapon to not fit you?", he had no choice but to do as he was told.

"One hundred and ninety-three point five, the same as last time!" Barry quickly gave the measurement result.

Muti felt a sudden sense of relief. He patted his chest, a look of uncontrollable joy on his face. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm not getting any taller. Has my growth finally stopped? That's great!"

Ao Lang smiled and said, "I told you long ago that you've almost reached your full height. There won't be any noticeable changes in just two months."

And me! I secretly measured myself yesterday and found I've grown 0.4cm in two months!

Seabuckthorn, holding a hammer, asked, "Is it because the time of measurement is different? I remember that my height would be more than a centimeter higher in the morning than in the evening."

Muti's heart was lifted again.

"No, we came in the morning just like we did now. There won't be any difference."

Olang's words completely relaxed Muti. She raised her arms and cheered, "I'm going to write a letter to my mother! Tell her the good news!"

"You didn't even write a letter to your mother when you were promoted to a four-star hunter."

"This is different!"

Aolan grinned. This guy really cares about his height.

Although I seem to be the same.

In the next few days.

Muxiang bid farewell to her companions temporarily, and left Metabetat with Xiang on an airship, heading for Minagard, the largest port city in the northwest of the Old World.

Orlan and Muti were not in a hurry to go into the dense forest to hunt, but instead stayed in the training ground, repeatedly practicing their newly acquired skills.

Muti's "Lifting Vortex Full-Bomb Dragon Hang Dragon Cannon Continuous Full-Bomb Dragon Hang" was ruthlessly despised by Orlan, of course not for the move itself, but for the name of the move.

"Come on, say the name yourself," Orlan said, staring at Muti.

"Uh, lifting vortex, full ammunition, Long Hang, dragon-strike cannon, even full ammunition, Long Hang! I should be reading it right!"

"No pause, read it again quickly."

"Elevating Vortex Full-Bomb Dragon Cannon"

"Wrong." Ao Lang interrupted mercilessly, "Long Hang is missing before the Dragon Strike Cannon. Look, you can't pronounce it well yourself."

"Woo——"

Muti rubbed his face vigorously. "I think it should be renamed, but the problem is that this can't really be considered a 'move'. To put it bluntly, it's just a combo of various basic moves strung together. How can we name it?"

"Let's just call it 'Explosion Kill', meow!" Yuwan clenched his paws tightly. "The move's name should be something you can call out, meow! Shouting 'Explosion Kill!' and charging forward with a fierce attack will definitely be impressive, meow!"

"According to what you said, meow, and considering Muti's habits, this combo should be called 'Hahahahah!' meow." Seabuckthorn said, scratching his beard.

Muti: “.”

Amid the two cats' nonsense and bickering, Orlan rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"While shouting the names of moves while attacking can effectively boost your energy and let your companions know your movements, it's not a bad habit.

But there seems to be no need to specifically modify any "lines". Since everyone knows that you like to "drink ah ah ah" when launching a strong attack, just keep it as it is.

It saves you from having to think about 'what should I shout' and distracting yourself during the battle."

"What about the name of the move?"

"Since we don't have to shout it out, it doesn't matter if it's awkward to pronounce. Just stick with your original idea, or change it to 'explosive kill' as Yuwan suggested." Ao Lang was too lazy to think about it and decided to give up thinking about it.

His "Red Blade Slash" was originally created at Muti's urging. This guy seems to be very obsessed with naming his moves.

"How about calling it Gymnastics Cat?" Seabuckthorn tilted his head. "You've been practicing this combo over and over at the target these past few days at the training ground. It looks like you're doing gymnastics cat with a rifle."

"No way! It sounds so ugly!"

Chapter 297: This is a cannon barrel added to the great sword

Muti spent a lot of effort to figure out what to name her combo, and finally gave up thinking about it.

Although the name "gymnastics" is not nice, it is simple and straightforward enough. When she mentions it, her fellow gymnasts can understand what she is referring to.

Let's use this nickname for now, and change it when we think of a cooler and more catchy name.

The days of regular training in the training ground passed by extremely quickly. Four or five days went by in a flash. If Bali hadn't come to remind them, they would not have realized that the delivery date of Muti's new weapons had arrived.

I followed Bali and jogged all the way to the workshop. When I saw the old craftsman, there was obvious fatigue on the latter's face.

Muti suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The old craftsman had just finished working on Orlan's Thousand Blade Dragon Set and Katana without a day's rest, and her Dragon Slaying Gunlance followed soon after.

The old craftsman who has been retired for many years has been busy for half a month and his body may not be able to bear it.

"you"

"I'm fine." The old craftsman saw what Muti was about to say and waved his hand, "Rather than wasting your life on so-called 'leisure', it's more meaningful to create a few more good works.

Let’s stop talking nonsense and take a look at your new weapon. I put a lot of effort into making this rifle. I just hope you are as strong as you say.

I've added a lot of ingredients to the shield, blade, and gun, so ordinary hunters might not be able to wield them."

"I can do it!" Muti has absolute confidence in his own strength.

A smile flashed in the old craftsman's eyes, "Follow me."

The group followed the old craftsman directly to the open space in the backyard of the workshop. This was the shooting range where the craftsmen tested their weapons and it was also where Barry trained on a daily basis.

Coincidentally, the workshop owner and Alman were also here. They were staring at a strangely shaped sledgehammer on the shelf in front of them.

"Hey! Why are you still here?" Bali put her hands on her hips and glared at her father and eldest brother in dissatisfaction. "Didn't we say that guests would come to try out the new weapons? You're in the way!"

The workshop owner and Alman ignored Bali's scolding and looked expectantly at Oran who was following Muti.

Orlan looked at the sledgehammer he had never seen before with curiosity.

The hammer head of this sledgehammer is pear-shaped, with two huge horns installed on it, like a sharp axe blade, adding a bit of aggressiveness.

Judging from the shape of the horns, they should be the horns of the Tailhammer Dragon, so this is the new model of Tailhammer Dragon hammer developed by the craftsman boss and his son?

"Brother Aolan, we would like to ask you for a favor," the bald workshop owner rubbed his big hands.
