Greatest Streamer System

Garrador was strong. It could kill him with just a slap of its wing. Furthermore, it was also fast. Facing it head-on was possibly… impossible.

"Let\'s do it again!"

Max stepped out of the bush after looking at Garrador, who lingered around the lake\'s area. This time, it didn\'t swim anymore.

The damage done from the first round earlier also still remained. The game tried to make it look as real as possible. Even a player\'s death wouldn\'t reset the environment to how it looked before.

That gave Max a limited possibility. He had a plan in mind, but it required him to use the environment around him. If they didn\'t respawn, then he only had one or two tries. If those didn\'t work, then he needed to formulate a new plan.

But that wasn\'t important. He was confident that he could beat Garrador this time.

Unsheathing his sword, he walked to a certain location and shouted loudly.

"Hey, you fucking goose! I will fry your wing for sure, so come here!"

His strategy was simple. First, taunt it.

"Honk!" Garrador spread its wings and rushed at him once it noticed him.

Just like before, it was fast. Dust was blown back with each step it took with its feet. Its eyes focused on its hunter, who turned into prey. It underestimated him after killing him once. For the monster, he was just walking meat.

\'As expected. Its AI is so advanced that it can recognize hunters and prey. Right now, I am his prey.\'

A smirk crept onto his face as he dodged the monster\'s rush. He rolled twice on the ground and leaped toward Garrador, following it from behind as it kept rushing toward the large tree. It was the second part of his plan.

"This freaking goose can\'t turn around due to its large wings!"

Bam!

The tree hit by Garrador\'s rush shook loudly.

Swoosh!

At that moment, Max\'s sword sliced through the air, aiming for Garrador\'s vulnerable wing.

"It\'s fried wing time!"

Getting caught off guard, the goose monster roared in pain as the blade made contact and severed it. Blood spurted from the wounded area, dyeing the grass and even his body red. His strategic move had paid off.

— He\'s so obsessed with fried wings lol

— GIVE ME SOME!

— Garrador\'s Wing… sounds like a good restaurant chain

— Hehe, he got his revenge!

— Slice through! BLOOD!

— Blood God is happy with your sacrifice. He shall partake in the fried wing\'s banquet

— Look out!

Garrador, though wounded, wasn\'t ready to admit defeat yet. The monster was persistent, and it was now mad. It trashed wildly, trying to get away from Max. Dirt was sent flying together with the rocks.

Dodging its frenzied movements, Max teased the monster as he jumped away from it.

"Oops. That was dangerous. You probably should wash your feet because it\'s getting dirty with your dung, chicken."

"Hooonnk!"

— Dodge it, Breeze!

— Don\'t act crazy! Angry Garrador is a dangerous Garrador!

— DON\'T PROVOKE A GOOSE WHEN THEY ARE ANGRY

— You will be chased, gone

"Nah, guys. Just watch."

With a slowed-down rush, Garrador charged again, but Max, confident in his combat skills, didn\'t dodge. Instead, he sheathed his sword and sprinted toward a nearby tree. The monster followed, its beak menacingly open, showing rows of sharp teeth covered in blood.

That was a mistake. No matter how advanced a monster AI was, in the end, it still couldn\'t think like a human.

Seizing the opportunity, he used the tree to jump higher than before. He flipped in mid-air and slid his sword out of its sheath. A metallic sound echoed as he brandished it in his hands.

"I call this: Filet Cut!"

With a powerful swing, he severed the last wing of Garrador, leaving the goose monster in agonized cries. Without its dangerous wings, there was nothing to fear of this monster.

So when Max landed, he wasted no time, immediately launching another attack. The sword felt heavy in his hand as he aimed to kill the monster in one go.

"Chest!"

He split open the monster\'s chest, causing another spray of blood. The monster, severely wounded, moved its head, aiming to devour him. This was the moment he was waiting for.

"And now, head!"

With Garrador\'s head now within his reach, he lunged forward and thrust his sword. No matter this creature\'s size, its vulnerability likely remained the same as other creatures—the brain.

The sword pierced the skull through its open mouth, delivering a fatal blow. The goose monster\'s once-menacing form was now a mess, convulsed in its final moment.

Max moved away before Garrador\'s body crushed him under its weight. He stood victorious, sheathing his sword back.

[Tutorial Complete!]

[Reward: 50 Gills, 5 health potions]

[Congratulations, mercenary. You may return to the base and end the quest.]

The message assured him. Garrador had been slain. It was dead.

"Phew…" Exhaling a relieved sigh, he put his bloodied hands on his hips, "That was a nice workout. This monster finally died. Can I turn him into a fried dish now?" He asked the viewers.

— lolol, you\'re serious?

— I didn\'t know that he was serious about turning Garrador into a fried dish.

— While it isn\'t impossible, you can only do it in the city. Also… A tutorial monster won\'t give you any material, so you can\'t turn it into any dish.

— In short, you work without pay in tutorials, save for 50 Gills and 5 health potions.

"What?" Max raised his voice in surprise as he read the chat. He did all of that for… only the quest\'s reward?

"What kind of fucked up system is this?"

— This guy forgot he\'s on a mercenary quest lol

— You\'re mercenary. If you want a monster\'s material, you must hunt it yourself without taking a quest.

— Garrador is part of a client\'s request, so you won\'t get any of its material

— Don\'t take any material. Caesar will kill you if you do that.

"… It\'s nonsense."

Hunt and get money from the quest. Max understood how it worked now.

"And what should I do with this carcass?" He asked once again, turning to Garrador\'s carcass behind him. "Don\'t tell me I need to bring this to the base alone."

— Indeed

— Hahahaha, it\'s how it is. Realism, remember?

— Your character is superhuman, it should be easy

— Good luck at moving the monster\'s carcass, Breeze. This is the most annoying part of this game

— If you\'re in a city already, you can hire someone to move your material. But in the tutorial, you will have to move them yourselves.

— The base is just a few hundred meters away, it should be easy

— WORK, NEWBIE! DON\'T SLACK OFF AND BRING THE MATERIAL TO THE BASE! – Caesar, probably

The chat was moving so fast when he asked that question. Most of them laughed, confirmed, and there was one that made him irritated.

[BloodSucker has donated 500 diamonds!]

[Hahaha! Bring the materials to the base and offer it to this noble me, slave!]

This donation made Max narrow his eyes at the camera.

"Alright, BloodSucker\'s pay for this month will be cut by 10%."

He felt like there was someone who cried \'No\' in the chat, but that must be his imagination.
