10 Lair

I immediately hide all the information in my tab. With that, no one would be able to access it unless they are of high status in the stronghold.

Analysis was not limited to humans only as they also work with monsters. Unlike humans, monsters were not given the option to hide their information from other hunters, thus when you look at one such as the goblin corpse over there' you get this.

[ Goblin ] Status: Deceased

Ability: Knife proficiency

Strength: Normal Monster

Description: A small humanoid class monster who has low intelligence.

And as for objects, you get this.

[ Box ]

Description: A box

Well, you'll need something that is not a box to get more details about the object but yeah, that's how the analysis works. You could also get immediate information about an object or a monster even if they weren't recorded yet on the database, as there's a computing system that analyzes the basic complexion and the energy storage of an unknown item. That's why this upgrade was necessary for hunters, as they usually find new things such as artifacts and monsters.

" Hello, young sir " Someone approached me from behind. He was wearing a black suit as he clasp his hands together.

" I could see, that you're a Tree student, " The man says as his Holic starts to glow.

" I can't seem to notice any equipment with you, would I interest you in buying something from our store? " He asked as he points at a nearby store that seems to be selling some equipment. Do they seem to have a lot of equipment varying from a small shortsword up to a spear that looks like it's made out of Mithril? Well, I could probably show the full potential of the Holic now.

[ Mithril Spear ]

Strength: 6* Weapon

Qualities: Sharpness, Bleeding, Applies Slow

Description: A spear crafted by J. sun.

It does look cool and a weapon is something that every hunter needs. I think I was the only one who was not carrying any equipment with me. But I didn't have the money with me, so I could only refuse him.

" tsk, I shouldn't have talked to a poor bastard " He whispers as he heads off to convince another customer.

I walk forwards bearing no mind to the sudden insult the man just threw at me. I noticed a small store next to the bustling equipment shop where the spear was getting stored.

Written in the shop front was " Kilo's Antique ".

I walked inside and tons of different machinery appeared in front of me. The smell of rust was evident, but I bear it no mind. I was just looking at the old machines littered around everywhere. Typewriters from the 90s were evident across the entire shop. There were even those old tv models, which were thick and very big.

" I didn't expect a student to enter my shop " An old and frail voice suddenly escaped from someone behind the counter.

" Oh, Hello there sir. " I say as I stare at the old man with a white beard.

" There's no swords or anything like that here young man. The world before the 3 R's only had guns " He says before sitting down on his chair. It seems like there were many students who checked here looking for some antique or legendary weapons. I guess that fantasy trope was still quite famous even when the world had turned into one.

" I'm not looking for a weapon. I just wanted to know if you were selling some Tesla Coils " I ask the old man standing behind the counter.

" Why do you need one? "The old man rose up from his seat as he exits the counter.

" Just for entertainment " I smile at the old man.

...

The Tesla coil I bought was larger than normal. It was pretty cheap so I bought the biggest one there is as no one buys antique's nowadays making the price cheaper than I expected. People were apparently investing all their money in equipment.

Well, I should've just bought a small one, as I'm gonna need a space pocket to store this thing. I'm gonna need one anyways so I went to buy one at the nearest store that sells them while looking for the other things that I'm gonna need.

...

[ Power Cell ]

Description: Stored electricity used for powering electric tools/items

This was incredibly expensive, but I needed it so I bought it anyway. I also bought a few mines, a hammer, and some quills which are essential for this expedition.

It seems like I still have a little spare money, so I went out to treat myself. The current hair that I have, was too long for comfort. I kept on having to clear my hair as it was blocking my vision. It also looks a little too messy so I had to sort it out, I was an actor after all.

Anyways, as I didn't have enough time to have a nice clean cut, I just decided to use this.

[ Purple String of Fate ]

Strength: 1* Utility

Qualities: Increased Charms

Description: A replica of the Red string of fate.

I look at the mirror in satisfaction.

With all of my equipment set, I was finally ready to raid my first Lair. It was already about 7 in the evening. It was the perfect time to go out. Thankfully, Terra was not strict when it comes to going out, mainly because some rich young masters kept on going out thinking they could safely traverse the world with only themselves which obviously led to their death. Thus, Terra decided to remove all their responsibility to avoid hatred and blame from the strong families.

Well, not going back to Tree before the 12 am curfew was another matter at hand... Jean also had her attention on me so it was a little scary.

There were still a lot of hunters strolling around as the monsters do not sleep. Some were definitely awake during the daytime, but there are also those who are nocturnal. The hunters, patrol the area commanded by their guilds or their missions.

But anyway, if I remember correctly, Lairs are ranked by the monsters contained in them. So it would be...

Normal, Elite, Grand then Royal. If the lair was filled with Shriekers then it would be an Elite Lair. But you should not get it twisted, an Elite Lair is a thousand more difficult than fighting an Elite Beast as the number of Monsters inside the Lair is not something to scoff at. More so if it's an unopened one, the monsters inside the Lair would still be in high numbers.

...

I arrived at the Red Bridge as I was walking relatively fast. There were still a lot of people surrounding it. They really want to find this thing huh?

I should be prepared for this expedition, but my nerves are telling me to not continue any longer.

I mean according to the story...

This Lair was found to be a Grand one.
