Chapter 783: Long-Awaited Solo Hunting
Life in Berna Village is not that easy either.
Although the squinty-eyed chief researcher would not force the hunters to perform any tasks, when this guy came to "seek help" with a stack of task documents with an embarrassed look on his face, it was difficult for Gordon and his team to refuse.
After all, their registered base is in Berna Village, and they have received a lot of care from the villagers for their accommodation and life.
Just like the house they haven't lived in for half a year, it has not only been preserved, but the village chief has also arranged for people to clean it regularly.
The Puzhi pig that Gordon raised in the village was fed white and fat, and someone didn't know who put a green pet coat on it. It looked like a watermelon with legs, which was very cute.
After all the favors, Gordon and his team felt embarrassed to just take the benefits without helping. After discussing with each other, they planned to each pick a task to take on and have a long-lost solo hunt.
After all, with their current strength, there are not many monsters worth hunting by their team.
As the person in charge of the daily affairs of the Dragon Calendar Institute, the chief researcher is good at dealing with people.
He did not use the long-standing and extremely difficult seven- or eight-star tasks to "repay a favor", but chose some tasks that would be a headache for ordinary hunters and that can be solved by high-level hunters with some effort.
Four-star and five-star tasks are the main ones, and there are not many six-star tasks, which can be counted on one hand.
Gordon picked up a six-star task form and read it.
"The Twin Hammers of Riot", a very imposing name, glanced at the task target, hunting two tail hammer dragons.
He stuffed it back without hesitation, hating this kind of thing the most.
He changed to a six-star form.
"Fierce fight! Sword and sword close combat!" The task target is to hunt two slashing dragons.
Gordon threw the task sheet into the arms of the chief researcher, "Why are there only six-star tasks with large monsters in pairs? Aren't there tasks with a single six-star monster?"
The chief researcher pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Oh, because no one wants to take such tasks. Lower-level hunters can't take them, and it's dangerous for upper-level hunters to challenge alone.
But asking upper-level hunters to team up to hunt two four-star and five-star monsters is neither efficient nor profitable, so.
Well, with your strength, it's not bad to split into two teams to take two such tasks, isn't it?"
"You are quite direct." Gordon said unhappily.
If the other party was evasive, he would just play dumb and choose a five-star task.
But the chief researcher directly proposed it, which was almost obvious that he was asking for favors, so Gordon was naturally embarrassed to choose those four-star and five-star tasks again.
Gordon looked at Ansir, who was much better than him in terms of negotiation ability.
An Xier looked at the task sheet in his hand and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "I will be responsible for the six-star task of the two-tailed hammer dragon. Bring enough ammunition and it will take some time. It is not difficult.
Feng Ying, what are you going to hunt? If you don't have a plan, you can come with me."
"I plan to hunt the black wolf bird! I haven't hunted this yet!" Feng Ying raised the sheet in her hand. She had already chosen the target.
"Okay, I will do the tailed hammer dragon myself." An Xier nodded, and then handed the sheet in his hand to Gordon very seriously, "Gordon, you and Hayata take this task. I think it is suitable for the two of you."
Gordon took the sheet in confusion. What do you mean suitable for the two of us?

Gordon: "."
Hayata, who was about to challenge himself and take on the task of hunting two dragons alone, came over to take a look, and was speechless and rolled his eyes fiercely.
"Why are the client and the reason for the commission so ridiculous?" Gordon scratched his chin and couldn't help asking, "And how can a maid get so much money to issue a commission?"
The chief researcher looked at the task sheet in Gordon's hand and suddenly realized, "Ah, it turned out to be this task. Mr. Gordon, you may have misunderstood.
The task title and the task description should be the bad taste of a certain poster girl. The real publisher of this task is an animal behavior scholar from the Dragon Calendar Institute.
The scholar accidentally heard about this incident from the maid, so he wanted to confirm whether cross-species reproduction between the electric dragon and the female fire dragon is really possible.
If the two can bring back the cubs born by the electric dragon and the female fire dragon, the Dragon Calendar Institute is willing to pay at least twice the reward for the purchase.
And the breeding season of the female fire dragon is about to pass. To be honest, Mr. Gordon, Miss Hayata, if you are willing to take on this task, it will be a great help!"
"You scholars are so twisted." Hayata frowned.
"So, should we take this task together?" Gordon asked delicately.
"No way! Go by yourself!"
In the end, Gordon took on the "Passionate Love Exposed" mission alone.
As for Hayata, she was not interested in the love and hate of the female lightning dragon and the female fire dragon, so she took the task of killing two dragons in the underground volcano and treated it as swordsmanship training.
In addition, there was Ansir's double-tailed hammer dragon and Fengying's black wolf bird.
If everything went well, the four of them would kill seven large monsters in one go, which would relieve a lot of pressure for the Dragon Academy. The chief researcher's eyes were bent with smiles.
Gordon was somewhat excited about the opportunity to hunt alone after a long time.
After forming a team, there were too many benefits to fighting side by side with his partners. He could not be "willful" in the face of the dangers and pressures of high-risk monsters and even ancient dragon-level creatures.
But in fact, he has always liked and even enjoyed the feeling of hunting alone.
"The loneliness of facing a large monster alone and the excitement of fighting one-on-one really make people's heart beat faster and can't stop." Gordon sighed while wiping his armor and sword.
Zhupai, who was helping Gordon look up information about Lezex (electric dragon), looked at him sideways, "Then I'll go, meow?"
"Oh, we are of one mind!" Gordon laughed and rubbed Zhupai's head.
Zhupai pulled Gordon's hand away and summarized the information provided by the Dragon Calendar Institute, "The attribute absorption of electric dragons is not very good, meow. Ice attribute can be said to be its only weak attribute, but the effect is not particularly obvious, meow.
The weak part is the head, meow. Flash bombs seem to be very effective, meow. Bring more, meow! This time, we require capture, and we can't forget the trap mechanism, meow.
The effect of the hole trap is said to be not good, meow. Some hunters reported that it will break free quickly, so we still need to prepare more paralysis traps, meow."
"Got it! Use the big sword to greet it on the head, and leave the rest to you, right?"
"That's fine, meow, but I don't think this is "hunting alone" meow"
