[Moooooooo—!](??)
On a distance is a huge 3 meter tall, black and hairy cow like animal called black bison. Considering it has a huge frame, this guy was a male. The one i killed a while ago must be a female.
Most males are noticeable due to their size and length of their horns. Females have their nips shown on their abdomen...so it's easy to differentiate which is which.
[Those sure can skewer people...] it was really pointy, enough to be the same as the bulls from Spain. I mean their horns...not their nipz
Breath in and out, phew~ adjusting the scope's magnification.....alright! I am now on for the hunt!
Just to make sure that i will be safe after being spotted, i am currently making a huge tree as my camp....similar to what some players back at the game would do...
[This feels like camping....] climbing here via the usual parkour, thruster jump and grappling hook made...it made climbing easy.
Adjusting my body due to the change in terrain, i then placed the Kraber AP sniper rifle in front while deploying its bipod to support the weapon and to absorb some of the recoil shock i will feel later on. Was the bipod on the game? Strange, I didn't saw it.
3 rounds left in the mag, yep this will be hectic afterwards. So i took out 35 more mags full of 4 AP, 50 cal. bullets and placed them beside me.
The gun shot should be loud, so let us disperse it using magic!
["Air Lock*] i applied it to the muzzle to probably silence or muffle the sound...but how would it go?
*Fsha!*
What the heck was that?! That sounds so awkward....but at least the gun shot was muffled. The problem remaining was the flare after each gunshot. Mah, that won't matter anyway since Bisons have poor eyesight.
*Pachin!*
Putting another round on Kraber's chamber, the weapon was now lock n' loaded for another target to shoot at. Since the Black Bisons are generally big in nature, no bullets will be wasted since it is like shooting to a wall.
*Bang!*
*Pachin!*
2 down! Delivering a straight headshot to the target, it never moved again. It's better to kill them directly in the head than to let them suffer through bleeding, that would attract more monsters that are attracted to the smell of fresh sanguine(blood).
The herd then scatters as they saw one of them to die questionably, using this chance...
*Bang!*
*Pachin!*
That's the last for the magazine, i then quickly reloading another mag, this process took me 5 seconds to do. I can't blame myself since the weapon itself is heavy, i am just glad that i had the strength of more than 100 at my status or else I won't have the power of carrying this one while on the way here.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
Countless gun shots resounded at the Mountain Of Death, and the questionable splatter of blood had painted the mountain floor. The monsters that were attracted at the smell of blood was also killed in action.
As i was slaughtering the bisons by shooting them in their heads, i am now reminded that i look like some bald top class hitman from a game. Shooting the targets aside, their numbers are greatly decreasing. Hahahahahaha.....it seems I over hunted.
[1,2,3,4...100 add up with 30 others....yeah...] 100 Black Bisons in total and some monsters i do not know of, dayum, that's a lot of beef. Bisons are closely related to cows after all. The fact that they mooed means they are closely related to cows, that also goes for individuals of the Minotaur Race since they're half cow and half human. That's their characteristic though appearance wise.
Storing the bisons over inventory to avoid attraction of monsters, i then left the area since the quantity of red dots that had appeared was increasing as time passed by.
{Leveled Up"140–>155"}
I also earned this...
{Title Earned"The Over-Hunter"}
Is it good or is it bad? Nah. I don't really care but the thought of over hunting is bad so I'll probably avoid subjugation quests for now. I've had enough of blood and gore for the past week, so maybe i should look for a decent quest at least that doesn't involve with killing something.
______________________
[You ranked up! You are now officially a C-ranker sir!](??)
The usual receptionist girl was the one who accepted my report for the subjugation quest, she was the one that had a high school beauty for looks.
[Say...will another type of quest appear for C-rank?]
[Yes, that should start once you have entered D-rank, there is escort, collection, and cargo delivery quests. These 3 are the quest types available once you also enter C-rank](??)
Hmm...so it was basically bad luck that i got run out of missions to take since the others have got it first...
[I see....]
[Here is your reward of 5 gold coins....](??) placing a stack of five gold coins on the desk, i nimbly took it and store it on inventory while pretending to store it over at my pocket.
I then sat at the chair you can find at the guild bar, there's an actual bar here inside the guild that offers good food and alcohol. A bar maid then approach me who was a new comer.
[What shall you order sir?](??) she was of the sheep-kin. White fluffy hair and small curly horns that protrude on the side of her head...she is cute....
[What is on the menu today?] answering question with a question should also be fine, right?
[We have Black Bison steak, stew and quiche at this hour. What shall you order?](??)
[Hmm....give me the Bison stew and 2 quiches, also give a cold booze while I'm at it]
[Yes, it costs 30 coppers](??)
Handing her 30 exact copper coins, she quickly darted to the bar table and told the chef my order. It then came real quick, seems like they were already cooking it a while ago since the smell of food and beer wafted at the establishment.
The guild is separated at the 1st floor, the right side for the guild lobby and the left side for the guild bar and diner. Basically it's a very nice place.....my order came!
[Thank you for waiting, here is your order of Bison stew, 2 quiches, and a mug of cold ale](??)
[Ale? There is no booze?](??)
[Actually.....Ale is just booze you know—](??)
What?!
Reluctantly i start to partake at the food and ale she puts over at my table. It was served nicely as i can smell the herbs and spices at the food....mmmmm—-smells nice—
Using the fork and spoon, eating it was good as it can be paired with the hot potato quiche....waaaa!!!! It's a good combination!
Washing it with a gulp of cold ale....
[A....amazing!!!!!] the food is great! The ale is great!!!!but....i have no one to share a meal anyway...i just realize it lately that i was apparently alone...
I didn't even have friends here, nor acquaintances. I've been living a loner life... yet as far as i am concerned, this seems to be quite an unhealthy life. Humans should socialize to adapt to their environment, that also goes for their happiness. Mine was already at the border between lifeless and stillness.
Is it because of the fear of betrayal or the feeling of your friends who will turn their backs on you in order for them to live their own lives, the latter was what happened to me before.
I was 34 years old back then when my colleagues and friends retired early from their jobs, had their own family with children. I was left behind, mostly because of that fear. It all started the time dad and mom passed away, the loneliness i felt at that time is not something that can be shouldered solely, yet i did. That caused a huge gap at my heart that cause me to not socialize too much to people around me since eventually they will just go away.
[Did i just got drunk?] no, I don't think so since my resistance skill was passively canceling the alcoholic effect from the booze.
I wonder...should i look for companions? Maybe.....
Finishing the meal and the booze i put a tip of 5 coppers on the table and left the place, i then returned to the inn while having those thoughts with me and slept comfortably from noon till the next morning.
