Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 8: Cloud Set

"Change weapons? How is that possible? The shield axe is the best in the world!"

Kevin grinned and pulled Lin Lin, who was following behind him, to his front.

"This kid wants to be a hunter, so I brought him here to order a set of equipment."

"That's it..."

The old dragon nodded in understanding, turned to look at Lin Lin, looked him up and down carefully, and then turned back to Kevin.

"Although you're a veteran hunter, since you're guiding a newcomer, I still have to emphasize that according to guild rules, the materials used to craft equipment must be obtained by the hunter himself. This is to ensure that hunters don't misjudge their abilities based on their equipment. This rule must not be violated!"

Kevin curled his lips and said, "Of course I know. That's why I'm going to order him beginner equipment that doesn't require monster materials, such as the Hunter Set, Leather Set, Beruna Set, and Cloud Set."

"The processing houses should all have the basic materials needed for this kind of equipment in stock, right?"

The old dragon thought for a moment and said, "All of them, except the Beruna suit. After all, I don't have the blueprints for the Beruna suit, so I don't know what materials are needed."

Kevin placed his wallet on the table. "That's it, isn't it? Guilds allow the buying and selling of these materials. I'll buy them from you and give them to him. He can then use them to craft equipment. It's perfectly reasonable and impeccable!"

The old dragon man's frown twitched, and he nodded helplessly, "Alright, alright, this is still within the permitted range for beginner sets, but you absolutely can't do this with more advanced weapons and armor!"

Kevin smiled broadly and patted Lin Lin on the shoulder. "Why don't you thank me, old man?"

Lin Lin stumbled and finally managed to stand firm when Kevin slapped his forehead again, "I almost forgot, you can't speak the common language..."

"what?"

The old dragon's eyebrows almost flew up to his forehead, quite surprised. "You don't know the common language? And look at his strange clothes. Where did you kidnap him from?"

Kevin was nonchalant and unconcerned. "Why do you care where he comes from? He wants to be a hunter and has the talent, so I brought him back to teach him. Is that a problem?"

However, there was a sentence that gurgled in Kevin's throat, and he swallowed it back without saying it out loud.

Just from seeing this guy develop a "friendship" with the Blue Bear Beast, he knew that this kid had a good heart and would definitely not become the kind of guy who would wantonly violate the guild rules to poach and eventually provoke "Dark Night".

Isn't it enough that he's not a bad person, and that he's willing and talented enough to become a hunter? We're all human, so why question his origins? The old dragon choked and shook his head helplessly. "Okay, okay, then, have you decided on a set of equipment?"

"The Hunter Set is primarily crafted from ores. The special protection triggered by wearing a full set allows the wearer to focus more easily on details, making it easier to set traps, blend items, barbecue, fish, or track monsters."

"The leather suit is primarily made from the fur of small monsters. Wearing the full set triggers a buff that makes the wearer's hands more dexterous, making both gathering and stripping easier. It also allows for more precise use of items like pickaxes and bug nets, significantly reducing the chance of them breaking."

"Then there's the Jieyun Set. This set is made primarily of Jieyun wood, and the effect it triggers upon wearing it is called 'Spirits's Blessing'. It sounds mysterious, but it actually allows the wearer to subconsciously perform a reflexive movement when attacked, mitigating the damage they would otherwise inflict. Furthermore, this set's lightness doesn't hinder the hunter's movements, allowing them to better target the monster's weak points during combat, dealing more effective damage... However, the 'See Through' effect of this set isn't very strong. If it weren't for the material limitations, I could actually make it appear as if nothing was wearing it..."

When mentioning the Jieyun suit, Lao Longren's introduction became obviously much more detailed, which has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he is the designer of the Jieyun suit.

Kevin continued, looking at Lin Lin. "How's it going? Are you surprised? Hey... don't force yourself to look serious. Just show your surprise. It's nothing shameful."

When he was in the hunter training camp and had just come into contact with hunter equipment, he was shocked to learn that the seemingly ordinary armor could actually have all kinds of magical effects that sounded unscientific. How could you be so calm?
Lin Lin's mouth twitched. What was so surprising? It was just something he had seen in the game appearing before him, and there was even an explanation that sounded very reasonable?

If he had to say something, he could always explain it away with one sentence: Dragon technology, isn't it amazing?
He watched the old dragon man pull out several design drawings from the cabinet and explain them with great enthusiasm. Without any hesitation, he reached out and tapped on the drawing of the Jieyun suit.

Putting aside the sentimental bonus, this is the set that the hunter wore for the first time in the game. Just talking about the skill of Elf Blessing, it is a life-saving skill in reality. He would have to be crazy to choose other equipment. What's more, the Cloud Set also has the skill of seeing through, which takes care of both attack and defense. It is indeed a very excellent equipment design.

When the old dragon man saw that Lin Lin had chosen his masterpiece, he felt that his words were not in vain. He smiled and called the two Felyne cats who were helping him to take him into the inner room to measure his body size. The equipment made according to this data would be the most suitable.

Soon, Lin Lin finished measuring his body size and changed into the daily clothes of Jieyun Village that were given to him by Maomao. As soon as he came out, he saw Kevin sitting idly on the threshold of the processing house, maintaining his Tyrant Bronze Shield.

The old dragon man noticed Lin Lin's gaze and couldn't help but pull at his white beard. "You're going to make a weapon as well, right? It's not going to be a shield axe, is it?"

Lin Lin was stunned for a moment. He thought that today he just needed to change his equipment, but Kevin nodded as a matter of course.

"Of course. Let's get a Bone Weapon Set. It will be easier to upgrade it to the Tyrant Bronze Shield later. After all, the attributes of the Triceratops Shield Axe are also extremely excellent."

The old dragon man who was so high-spirited just now looked a little numb, but then he became eager to try:
"After all, the shield axe is a new weapon that was only developed in the past two years. I've never received an order for one before. Although I have the blueprints, it's estimated that it will take a long time to create. The Jieyun suit can be made in three days, but the bone armor will conservatively take about a week to complete..."

"Well, this is a good time to hone my skills..."
