A brave player who started by touching corpses

Seven Stars Central City, Brave Guild, Three Eyes Research Institute.

"Your hero name is really bad, it's unrecognizable~

The photos are not good either. I'll take you to take some photo albums~ I guarantee they'll look better than yours! "

The hot black girl Pink Kodachi mocked Luke mercilessly, and then extended an invitation, reaching out to hug Luke's arm.

"Don't you have to go to school at this time?"

Facing the hot black girl who had put on the mountain bastard mask again, Luke's mood was already simple and he asked directly.

However, when this girl asked him to take a cute photo of ET with his chin poking her eyes, Luke couldn't help but tremble.

Just imagining it is scary.

"No, it's just a formality to get a diploma anyway."

Hearing Luke mention school, the hot black girl immediately said with disapproval.

"Then let me ask you, what degree of water will you get if you pour 4 cups of 25-degree water together?"

"Meow haha~~Of course it's 100 degrees! You still want to stump me with such a simple primary school student question!? What a dream!"

"...I think it's still necessary to go to school, what do you think?"

Facing the arrogant black hotties, Luke could only look helplessly at the others around him.

Several brave men who were not familiar with the black hot girl did not comment on this, but as a best friend, Joey only felt embarrassed, and quickly stepped forward and pulled the black hot girl back with her nose turned up.

The people currently gathering at the Sanmu Research Institute are the brave men who had experience fighting side by side with Luke and Sanmu in the monster lair. Sanmu invited them and Luke in as an external mission.

As an E-class idler, if Luke didn't want to expose his ability to find potions and items in exchange for money, he would have no choice but to accept commissions and complete tasks.

And from Luke's point of view, he himself is very eager to kill monsters and upgrade Roar equipment, potions, and so on.

It was as if the journey to Contra had completely activated his nature as a player and the fourth natural disaster.

As a brave man who is half a member of the guild and whose own status is not low, Sanmu naturally has higher authority to help select some more cost-effective tasks.

The tasks of the Brave Guild are diverse and cover a wide range of areas. While there are highly dangerous wanted bounties and monster lair processing tasks, there are also daily tasks ranging from trivial things to picking flowers and walking dogs. It has a very strong "guerrilla association" "style.

Those daily tasks that could not obtain monster experience were obviously not suitable for Luke, and he had never thought of becoming a good friend to his neighbors.

The wanted bounty is relatively difficult for Luke now, because it is a battle of wits and courage with people. People are often much more cunning and dangerous than monsters, let alone the fallen who can be wanted. It is a group with a large number of anti-social personalities who will do whatever is beneficial to themselves and go all out to kill those who are chasing them.

If it simply involves the life and death of the pursuer and the wanted person, it would be simple, but in fact the situation the pursuer has to face is quite complicated.

You may even have to face the classic decision-making problem of preserving your size.

Cleaning up monster lairs is the most suitable for Luke, and it is also Luke's favorite type. But the problem is that Qixing City is a typical area with more wolves and less meat, and has a large number of E-level and D-level residents.

The central urban area plus the surrounding large and small gathering areas cover a very large area, which is quite a challenge for traveling.

Once a new monster lair is spawned in a certain area, the nearby "idle workers" will inevitably arrive at the scene immediately. By the time Luke receives the information and rushes over, the day lily will probably be cold...

Of course, there is a premise here, that is, the new monster lair must still be like the past, a small lair that can be quickly cleaned up, and cannot be a complete large lair with eight large areas like the previous one.

Therefore, after screening, what is suitable for Luke now is the kind of monster lair that is under the control of a brave guild or some large brave team organization and is specially used to produce resources.

Monsters are indeed antagonistic to humans, but they sometimes become useful resources to humans.

Even if monster props are not dropped, some of the things they naturally carry when they are refreshed, the corpses left when they die, and even some interactive scenes in the lair can be recycled and reused as resources, just like before Sanmu took apart the Kestrel firearms that could not be used directly and assembled them to create a green-skinned self-destructing gun.

Since there is no way to completely eliminate monsters from this world, we must find a way to turn their existence into resources and turn them into guns and cannons to deal with them.

Human beings are so adaptable.

At this time, after assessing the danger of the monster's lair, humans will confirm that the resource output and crisis burden are within the tolerable range, and will deliberately not destroy the monster's lair, allowing it to refresh the monsters and harvest them until The lair core is consumed.

For example, there are bomb villains who carry bombs that can be recycled into precious metal gold, slimes that are limp but whose corpses can be used as excellent raw materials for soft gels, cosmetics, etc., and various animal-type monsters with tender flesh. , are all very good resources available.

For monster nests like this, which are within the controllable range of danger, as long as they do not involve particularly sensitive resources, most of them will also come with an additional service of "brave training".

To put it bluntly, it is to allow braves or reserve braves who are inexperienced in fighting monsters to practice courage, skills and actual combat with the presence of thugs.

When this type of market is established, it is natural that some monster nests that do not produce additional resources and exist purely as brave training grounds will appear on the market.

This is where Luke is going to study next.

Just now, Luke and Sanmu came to a common conclusion after discussing, that is, Luke himself actually needs more experience in fighting various monsters than rushing to face monsters like a real E-level hero.

Luke is still the kind of guy who can look at himself more objectively. He knows very well where his weakest point is at present.

That is close combat!

Although Luke now seems to have successfully broken through the psychological barriers he had always had in Contra, and is no longer afraid of bloody conflicts with people, and can even hit the heads of monsters and insects with his scepter, his skills and experience are still a mess.

As I said, I can do without it, but I can't live without it.

This sentence can also be applied to melee ability. Luke really doesn't want to fight in close combat from the bottom of his heart, but he knows that he must have a certain melee ability.

The weak points must be filled in a way, otherwise he will be targeted in the future.

Compared with stereotyped training, Sanmu is obviously more inclined to let Luke understand something through actual combat. With his physical fitness that can jump seven or eight meters, it feels like it would be a waste if he doesn't learn some self-defense tricks.

In addition, it is to get in touch with various types of monster enemies more, and be familiar with the battles between people, insects, beasts, monsters and other units, so that you will not be at a loss when facing the new monster nest.

The tablet Luke was holding recorded some monster nests that were open to the public or required an introducer to enter. He soon stopped at a nest that had just opened and had the monster keywords "human", "fighting" and "armed fighting".

The introduction said that this nest only produced three types of pure humanoid monsters, namely, a shirtless bald man, a long-haired man with a broken bottle, and a female enemy with a cockscomb and a knife.

Luke had a huge amount of game-related data in his mind, and soon found many options based on the keywords and pictures recorded in the introduction.

There are many games with this kind of gangster-like humanoid enemies on all platforms, but if there are only, or only these three types of enemies for the time being, then the picture in Luke's mind is directly fixed on a horizontal action game for the Famicom.
