The orange-yellow cat opened one eye, looked at Li Fan with its pale golden vertical pupils for a moment, and responded: "No money."
He turned his head and changed his position, and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
Li Fan discovered that this Elu cat was not only extremely large, but also had no "meow" mouth habit. Many wounds could be seen faintly under its orange-yellow hair, which was very different from other Elu cats.
"We're not here to ask for money, we're here to find Yin Tie as a hunting instructor."
Hearing this, the orange-yellow cat's ears twitched, raised its head, stood up and entered the house.
"Hold on."
Ding, bang, bang!
After a while of rummaging, the orange-yellow cat handed a mentor contract in front of him.
"Sign this mentor contract. If you are lucky enough to pass the hunter test, Yin Tie will be able to get 3000z. The mentor and student will get 1500 each in half, plus the 200 promised before, you can get 1700. I wish you good luck in the exam.
Good luck, boy."
Li Fan didn't expect that the other party would be so magnanimous when he gathered up the Hunter Guild's wool.
But considering that I also came here for free prostitution, this plan seemed good.
After all, not only does it cost a lot to find a regular tutor, but the remuneration of the tutor who passes the exam has nothing to do with you.
"It's okay to sign the contract, but can you please ask Instructor Yin Tie to teach me the basics of using Tai Dao? This will increase the probability of passing the exam and make it easier to get money."
"Well...how is your tachi basics?"
The orange-yellow cat raised an eyebrow.
"zero."
"Ling... This is easy to handle. My name is Daju. When Yin Tie comes back, I will help you introduce him."
Daju stretched himself out with his paws on the ground and continued to fall asleep.
"Something doesn't feel right, meow."
Di Lu said with some worry.
"It's okay. After I bought the sword, my whole body is 211z."
Li Fan informed in a low voice.
He firmly believes that as long as there is no money in his pocket, any deception will be in vain.
Stuck! Stuck!....
There was a sound of metal scraping against the ground from behind.
Li Fan turned around and saw that a fat middle-aged man with dark brown skin and a claw scar on his left eye was approaching.
Every time the opponent takes two steps, the uncoordinated metal prosthetic leg on his right leg has to be dragged along the ground.
When he came to the door, the man touched the stubble on his chin and looked at Li Fan and Di Lu for a moment.
"No money."
Li Fan was speechless for a while, thinking about how much money this person and cat owed. How come he saw this person standing at the door and thought he was here to demand payment.
Before he could speak, Daju stood up, walked to the man's ear and whispered in his ear: "Learn Tai Sword with zero foundation."
The man looked surprised.
"My name is Yin Tie. I am the only seven-star hunting instructor in the Hunter Guild. I am known as the lone ghost who has understood the ultimate meaning of Tai Sword."
"Hello, my name is Li Fan."
After the two shook hands, Li Fan was invited into the room.
An exhibition board with the words "Ancient Hunting Research Base" written on it was placed on the wall opposite the door. However, the lighting in the room was not very good and it looked a bit eerie.
The display board was marked with a red giant horn, which reminded Li Fan of the true red horn on the head of Ceratopsaurus.
"In order to improve the passing rate of the assessment, it is okay to provide guidance on the basic use of Tai Dao, but as a student who wants to become a hunter, don't you have a bigger vision for your future career as a hunter?"
Yin Tie poured a glass of water enthusiastically and guided him.
"Uh...didn't understand."
"The basic use of Tai Sword is just the basics. As a seven-star hunter who is proficient in all Tai Sword moves, I have mastered far more hunting techniques than that."
Yin Tie said, bang! He patted his chest hard.
Li Fan vaguely felt that there was a routine.
The basic application of Tai Dao is a core item that instructors must teach.
Even if Yin Tie doesn't want money, as long as both parties sign a contract, he still has to fulfill his obligations as a mentor.
However, other additional teaching items can be charged. When viewing the instructor directory, there will be corresponding prompts above.
"Teacher Yin Tie, what do you know..."
Before Li Fan finished speaking, Yin Tie flashed and disappeared in the dim room.
"Yin Tie... mentor?"
After glancing around, Li Fan asked tentatively.
The display board on the wall that said "Ancient Hunting Research Base" was suddenly illuminated.
"The ancient method of hunting originated from the village of Kokot where many heroes were born. It emphasizes fighting monsters head-on. It is a perfect fusion of skills and strength. It costs 2,000 to practice in ten days."
Yin Tie, with a deep voice, walked out of the junction of light and darkness.
"I just..."
Before Li Fan finished speaking, Yin Tie disappeared again.
"Ryuriyuan style hunting, which originated in the village of Bernard. There are six hunting styles that can be switched at will and can adapt to all hunting scenes. It can be practiced in fifteen days and costs 4,000."
Li Fan was startled by the voice coming from behind him, and said helplessly: "I just want to learn Tai Sword..."
As expected, Yin Tie disappeared again.
Just when Li Fan was curious about where he would appear from this time, a green apple flew towards him.
"Projector! Originated from the cutting-edge hunting of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team. If you match it with the clothes, you can still be invincible even if you are in an unknown dangerous place or a dangerous situation. Because the lethality is too strong, I will use this apple instead. It will be practiced for free in the 20th day."
9000.”
Li Fan took a hard bite of the green apple, feeling speechless in his heart.
"How about Li Fan, do you have any impulse in your heart?"
Yin Tie asked expectantly.
"No, I still just want to learn the basic use of Tai Sword."
It's not that Li Fan is not interested in those hunting techniques, but he thinks that according to Yin Tie's level, he is simply not capable of teaching them, and it's just a scam.
"Today's new students are becoming more and more difficult to deceive."
Daju sighed and opened the door that had been closed for some time.
The sun shone in, and Yin Tie, with a disappointed look on his face, stepped off the flatbed truck.
"I admit it, meow..."
Di Lu was shocked by the other party's honesty.
"Li Fan, there is a training ground outside. Get ready to meet there."
After Yin Tie finished speaking, he picked up a wooden sword hanging on the wall and limped out of the house.
Li Fandilu followed immediately.
It is said to be a training ground, but it is actually an open space with three wooden dummies placed under a big tree outside the village.
"Okay, let's start the training. Let's first talk about why you insist on learning the basic use of Tai Sword?"
Yin Tie was very curious.
Ordinary new students with no basic knowledge have already heard that they are rushing to pay for it after the deception just now.
"Because this basic set of actions has been used for a long enough time, and has been optimized to the extreme through continuous iterations by countless hunters."
Yin Tie looked surprised, thought for a moment and said, "It's a very interesting insight."
Li Fan's idea actually comes from his understanding of physical training.
In the training of professional-level athletes, the force point, action posture, and even breathing rate.
It was only through the continuous accumulation and summary of predecessors that a set of reliable standards was finally formed.
If applied to the world of monster hunting, it is the standard moves of all weapons, which are accumulated and honed by hunters in actual combat.
Hunters with large individual differences may make some changes in their use in order to better adapt to themselves, but the overall idea remains the same.
That's why Li Fan attaches so much importance to the basic movements of Tai Sword.
Yin Tie pulled out his wooden sword and slashed ten times on the spot, making ten straight cuts and ten thrusts.
After the demonstration was completed, he threw the sword towards Li Fan.
"Let's practice with the wooden tachi first. Although it's a little lighter, it won't hurt the person next to you even if you let it go. That little Elu cat, stay away."
After hearing this, Di Lu trotted all the way and hid behind a nearby haystack, exposing half of her head to watch.
After practicing the four movements continuously for two hours, Li Fan felt that he had initially mastered some tricks.
But his hands were so stiff that they couldn't control their movements, and it was difficult to even hold the handle of the knife firmly.
"The toughness is good, but the strength is too weak."
Daju, who was watching with his arms folded, commented.
"Li Fan is a hunter who has hunted Honglong, meow!"
Although the opponent was more than twice his size, Dilu still mustered up the courage to retort.
"Hunting Honglong at this age?... Well, it's not impossible. Maybe he was involved in setting the trap."
Daju speculated.
"No, meow! We are participating in a head-on battle!"
Dilu emphasized.
"There are always details in frontal combat, right?"
"Of course Meow! Li Fan said that Honglong can knock back hunters with just his roar, and when angry, he can overturn an entire team of hunters by crawling and charging."
Daju blinked in surprise and responded: "Maybe I heard it from the old hunter."
Di Lu's eyes darkened. She didn't believe anything Daju said and didn't want to argue anymore.
"That's it."
As soon as Yin Tie finished speaking, Li Fan stopped and collapsed on the ground.
Di Lu took out the kettle and towel that had been prepared long ago, used one claw to wipe the sweat, and the other to feed water. Then she took out a small paper fan and quickly fanned it to cool down Li Fan.
"Yin Tie, with Li Fan's strength, it's better to practice double swords instead. After all, the basic application does not require the ghost-human aerial dance. You can easily reach the standard with more practice."
Daju gives advice.
Although the Ancient Hunting Research Base has achieved nothing in the field of research over the years.
But when it comes to dealing with hunter assessments and getting mentor rewards, I have accumulated quite a lot of tricks.
"His strength is very weak, but he has extraordinary talent in using the sword."
Yin Tie commented seriously.
"That's right, the two swords are... those with extraordinary talents? Stop joking, okay? We've already exposed the secret."
Daju said helplessly.
"I'm not kidding, it's like Li Fan...he has a deep understanding of the use of Tai Sword, but his body can't adapt to it."
Yin Tie tried to describe it.
"Hmph! I'll just say it, meow!"
Dilu puffed out her chest.
"Well...I won't argue with you about the sword."
Although Daju was unhappy, he did not refute.
"There is only one possibility for this situation, and that is that Li Fan has been living with a hunting group since he was a child. He often saw top-level Tai Sword hunters hunting, and gradually accumulated insights."
Yin Tie gave a guess.
"The top level in your eyes is indeed unusual."
Daju became serious.
Li Fan, who was too tired to speak, became more and more confused as he listened.
As for cheating, Yin Tie and Daju didn't mention charging fees.
If you were serious, it would be even more nonsense.
Except for the mental hospital where I lived for several years, it was a relatively different experience.
How is it possible to follow a hunting group and watch hunters hunt with tachi?
I rarely go to the zoo.
Wait, tachi hunting...
Li Fan suddenly noticed something.
Ever since he came into contact with Monster Hunter on the PSP, he has been using the sword as his main weapon.
Is it possible that after playing the game too much, you gain insights from it?
Li Fan felt that this made sense.
Yin Tie said that training will continue tomorrow afternoon and hoped that Li Fan could do more strength-improving exercises with adequate rest.
Because in order for Taito Blade to absorb the training energy, it must reach a certain strength when cutting the target.
Only by filling the Qi training tank in the blade with enough Qi training can the three-stage air blade slash and the air blade giant spin be released.
These are all assessment items for the basic use of Tai Dao.
Li Fan generally understood it, but he didn't expect that there would be a threshold for inhaling and charging the sword with practice energy.
When he was about to reach the street corner, Daju caught up with him and gave Li Fan a red fruit.
The fruit is about the size of a tennis ball, and its skin has hardened, like an orange that has been stored for a long time.
"This is a strange seed. Eat one before strength training, and the training effect will be significantly improved."
"Thank you very much."
"No need to thank me, Yin Tie gave it to you. He thinks highly of you."
Daju informed.
"Do you think well of me?"
Li Fan was a little confused.
Although this strange force seed is not fresh enough, its market price is at least around 300z.
If you fail to pass the assessment, wouldn't the other party suffer a big loss?
"Well, maybe it's the expectation for the new generation of hunters."
Daju looked at the clouds on the horizon and said.
Saying goodbye to Daju, one person and one cat returned to the cabin.
Although Taimei's mouth is very tough, with multiple carrying backpacks attached and only one additional Jaw Blade type tachi, it is obviously much more difficult to run.
Another question, Li Fan is really afraid of hunting in high-risk areas. He separated from Taimei for a while, and when he came back, he was just a skeleton.
Therefore, the best destination for Taimei is probably the ranch.
"It's so beautiful. The fence has been built on the pasture. You have to hurry up and find someone."
Li Fan couldn't help but muttered while carrying a wooden bucket and pouring water into the sink.
"Gu! Gu!..."
Taimei raised her paws and kicked the sink angrily to express her dissatisfaction.
"It's no use cooing. The outside world is very dangerous."
"Gu! Gu!"
Taimei screamed even louder.
Li Fan took off the healing elf ball on his shoulder strap and threw it aside.
Most of the wing membrane wing cracks have healed and Kuku appears.
"Woo?"
"Gu...Gu?"
Kuku tilted his head and looked at Taimei.
Taimei immediately turned her head away and began to drink water seriously.
It seems that the level of ecological niche is really deeply implanted in the monster's heart.
Li Fan sighed.
After resting until night, Li Fan started a new round of strength training.
Improvement of body strength, plus improvement of cutting skills.
As a result, as long as the trees in the forest are not too thick, Li Fan can cut them down with just one axe.
This kind of training that cannot fully exert strength is obviously unable to meet the overloaded strength release conditions.
It is impossible to talk about broadening the upper limit of body strength.
Li Fan held the ax and thought for a moment, then called Xiong Da Dao to his side.
