MTL - Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter-Chapter 70 For delicious crab roe

  Chapter 70 For delicious crab roe

  Gordon and Ted hid in the corner until Miles led Ursula and Maxine away from the task counter and out of the assembly hall, and then came out calmly.

  The kanban lady on duty today is the fish-mongering monster Tiki.

   Trying to maintain a business-like smile, she just wanted to lie down and take a nap after seeing off Miles and his party, when she suddenly felt that the surrounding light became much darker.

   Raising her head in a daze, she found two huge shadows standing in front of the counter like a wall, completely blocking her view.

  Tiki swallowed her saliva in fear at first, and then she rolled her eyes and returned to her usual lazy look until she saw the face of the visitor clearly against the light.

   "What~, it turned out to be Gordon and Ted, huh? Ted, didn't you set off with Mr. Miles? I just watched him go out?"

  Ted grinned, revealing a mouthful of big teeth that were much bigger than ordinary people, and said with a smile: "I won't be hunting with Dad today, but go with our good brother Gordon!"

  Ti Ji blinked, and glanced curiously between the two of them a few times.

   "Since when did you two and brother Gordon become good brothers?" Ever since she knew that Gordon was younger than herself, she always liked to call Gordon "brother", although the age gap between the two was less than half a year old.

Immediately afterwards, she looked at Ted again, and joked with a smirk: "Oh right, I just heard someone say that a certain person lost to Brother Gordon by arm wrestling, right, 'Lord Ted with the strongest wrist in the world'? "

   "No, and you can't say that, mainly because of that, well, I lost." Ted stared and murmured for a long time, and finally admitted his failure.

  Gordon bent his arms and patted his biceps with a little satisfaction. Only in strength, he had absolute confidence.

   "That's not the point, I just didn't eat enough today!" Ted tried to defend himself, and then quickly changed the subject.

   "Little Tiji, quickly help us to see if there are any suitable collection tasks! Three stars are fine, but if you want the Metabe dense forest, let's go on vacation!"

   "Collection mission? Jungle forest? Vacation?" Several question marks appeared above Ti Ji's head.

  She really couldn't sort out the logical relationship. It wasn't until Gordon and Ted explained it a little bit that she suddenly realized: "So it's like this. Wait, I'll look for it~."

  Gordon grinned, turned around and hugged the somewhat intoxicated pork chop in front of Tiggy.

  Looking at the big doll that looks like a fluffy pork chop, Tiji let out a "woooo~".

   Like a thief, he stretched his neck and quickly looked around. After confirming that it was temporarily safe, he stretched out his hands and rubbed the small heads of a wave of pork chops frantically.

   "Don't let the president know, or I will be scolded again!"

  Reluctantly letting go, Tiji lowered her head and quickly rummaged through the large task list.

   Soon, she found three documents that met the requirements.

  The task locations are all in the dense forest of Metabe. The collection target of the first receipt is "dragon antler", the second receipt is "fire dragon eggs", and the third receipt is "extreme crab roe".

"Brother Gordon, what do you think?" Ted squeezed his broad and square chin, and said, "I think Long Rong is fine, it's too rare and depends on luck, but don't even fail to complete the task at that time." .”

  Gordon agrees with Ted's statement, but he himself flicks away the receipt of the dragon egg in disgust. He has some psychological shadows about this thing

  Then the choice is only the last document.

  —

  Collection task: golden golden yellow! The best crab roe! (★★★)

   Task content: Pay 5 copies of the best crab roe

  Remuneration: 5000z

  Mission Location: Metabe Forest

  May appear monsters: shield crab, blue velociraptor, daimyo shield crab

  Limited time: 10 days

  Chef of a high-end restaurant: Recently, I am developing new dishes. Ordinary crab roe can no longer satisfy my demand for extreme deliciousness. Only the top-quality crab roe of shield crab has enough fat and sweetness!

  Please go and help me get five servings of the best crab roe, my cooking soul has been ignited!

  —

   "It feels good." Gordon licked the corner of his mouth, "I haven't eaten shield crab roe yet."

"Aha! That's the task. I haven't eaten that stuff before, so it should be very fresh, little Tiggy, help us with the formalities!" Ted rubbed his big hands, his face was full of Can't wait.

  Ti Ji didn’t deal with it immediately, but stretched out her finger and pointed to the column of “Monsters may appear”, and said in a slightly serious tone:

   "According to the report of the hot air balloon, there are traces of daimyo shield crabs in the vicinity. They may encounter them during the mission. Have you two noticed?"

  The Daming Shield Crab is a three-star danger monster. If it weren't for the possibility of encountering it, the difficulty rating of this task should only be two stars.

   "I see, I see!" Ted waved his hand indifferently, "I am a four-star hunter, a famous shield crab, as long as it comes, we dare to cook it together!

   By the way, is the crab roe of Daming shield crab edible? Is it tasty? How to eat? "

  Tiki & Gordon: "."

   "I really can't do anything with you, anyway, be careful!" Ti Ji reminded again with her hands on her hips, then took the task slip, and left the counter to find the president.

  —Although this is only a three-star collection task, if Gordon wants to participate, he still needs to go through the special approval process of the president.

   Not long after, Tiggy came back. Regarding Gordon's participation in this mission, the president didn't say much. The four-star gunsmith Ted's strength is enough to suppress the field.

  With the permission of the president, the mission procedures were quickly completed.

  Gordon and Ted, who are both swordsmen (collectively referred to as close combat), have nothing special to prepare. The two, who are full of crab roe dishes, can't wait.

   "Let's go! Go now!"

   "Wait, what about the pork chops that are still drunk?" Gordon, who had almost walked out of the gate of the assembly hall, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

   "Give it a vacation and let little Tiki take care of it?"

   "Uh, isn't it a bit impolite to do so"

   "Bring it crab roe when you come back, and bring some more specialties as compensation?"

   "Just do it!"

After leaving Minagarde City, Gordon and Ted drove along the coastline in a herbivorous dragon cart. A few days later, they arrived at their destination—a hunting ground in the coastal area located in the northwest corner of the Metabe jungle. .

  Different from the hunting grounds that we went to when we crusaded against the Qimian tribe, here is a vast blue sea, warm and humid sea breeze, and extremely bright sunshine.

   It would be a great vacation spot if it weren't for the hungry monsters stalking everywhere.

   Facing the sea, the wind, and the beach, Ted, who had clearly let himself go, even wanted to wear a pair of beach shorts to complete the task, but was rebuked by Gordon, who kept the last bit of reason.

   Relaxation is not so relaxing! Is it true that the hunting ground is a resort?

   "But it's really hot like this." Ted, who was forced to be fully armed, seemed a little disappointed. He took off his stuffy helmet and groaned.

  Gordon rolled his eyes and didn't answer.

Ted is equipped with a set of armor called "Rock Dragon Suit". The solid and thick carapace covers every corner of his body, and the ostentatious shoulder armor makes the already tall and strong man look even bigger. lap.

  Considering that as a Gunner, he is positioned as the defender in the front row in the team. This iron-walled appearance really makes people feel full of security.
