Gordon has been living alone since his parents died one after another.
Although it is unrestrained, living alone in a room will always be a bit deserted. Now that there is an extra pork chop, it should become more lively.
After working with Pork Chop to clean up a small room as his dormitory, Gordon let Pork Chop rest for a while and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Having lived alone for many years, Gordon considers his cooking skills to be pretty good.
Not long after, two huge pieces of fried pork chops were brought to the table. The side dishes were fresh lettuce leaf salad and sliced air-dried bread. It was a simple and substantial meal.
To Gordon's surprise, although the pork chop is called "pork chop", this is the first time he has tasted this food with the same name.
After loosening and marinating, the tender and juicy pork tenderloin is wrapped in bread crumbs, fried twice until golden brown, and then topped with a thick salty-sweet sauce. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You will love the pork chop once you eat it On.
After asking Gordon, he learned that the name Pork Chop had nothing to do with his favorite food, but because of the golden oval piece of fur on its belly, which resembled a fried pork chop.
This reminded Gordon of the name "Steak".
After asking, it turned out that as expected, the belly of the steak also has an oval pattern, but the color is the dark brown of roast beef. This is where the name of the steak comes from...
Gordon couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Pork Chop about its mother's name.
Blindly guessing the chicken chop?
As a result, Pork Chop said that his mother's name was "Kikia", which made Gordon feel stuck in his throat and unable to spit it out or swallow, so he had to end the topic in a hurry.
...
The next day, it was slightly bright.
Gordon got up from the bed on time. After washing, he was going to wake up Pig Chop, but he didn't expect that Pork Chop got up earlier than him.
At this time, it was fully armed, standing in the small yard at the door of the house, waving a cat pick, practicing its martial arts.
This surprised Gordon, but he was also quite pleased. This guy Pork Chop may be a little timid, but he works hard.
Courage can be tempered and cultivated, but hard work and perseverance determine its future upper limit.
When Gordon came to Pork Chop and said hello, Gordon's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the equipment on it.
Obviously, this is a set of armor specially designed for Ellu's body type. The main materials should be leather and some hard fruit shells.
The big package that Pork Chop carried contained this set of things.
After asking, I learned that this set of equipment is called "Acorn Cat Armor". Its defensive capabilities are not excellent, but it is lightweight and flexible. It is a set commonly used by novice hunting cats.
This is similar to the hunter suit Gordon is using.
Pork Chop had worked so hard, so naturally he couldn't relax. Gordon took off his shirt, grabbed a huge stone pier, and began to exert his strength.
Seeing three or four stone pillars as heavy as himself being lifted up and down by Gordon and tossed around, Pig Chop was dumbfounded.
He shook his head and swung the cat pick in his hand faster.
The instructor who happened to be passing by Gordon's house first said hello to Gordon, and then looked at Pork Chop with some surprise.
"Is this child your hunting cat?"
"Yeah, it's called Pork Chop, and we just signed the contract yesterday." Gordon put down the stone pier and introduced it with a smile.
"You kid, you are so lucky."
Ernest laughed and scolded, "Do you know how many hunters want to find a good partner but can't? How about you? You just became an official hunter and you haven't even taken on a single mission, so you have a hunting cat partner?"
"Hello, hello, meow. I'm here, Zhupa." Facing the instructor, Zhupa seemed a little reserved, but he still bowed politely and said hello.
The instructor waved his hand cheerfully, "You don't have to be so polite. Gordon is always reckless. He will be more responsible for you in the future."
Then he turned to Gordon and said: "By the way Gordon, I just met the owner of the blacksmith shop. He asked me to tell you that your blasting knife has been forged. Don't forget to pick it up later."
"Really?!" Gordon's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "I'll go there now!"
After that, he threw on a coat at random, climbed over the wall like a monkey, and ran towards the blacksmith shop.
"Meow meow?!"
Zhupa, who was still a little unresponsive, squealed and quickly chased after him.
Looking at the man and the cat running away, the instructor shook his head in amusement, "It's still the same, it's so exciting, but if you don't even care about your new weapon, ha! Can you still be considered a hunter?"
...
"Clang, clang, clang!" Opening the curtain in front of the blacksmith shop and stepping inside, Gordon was drowned out by the hot air and the sound of metal hitting at the same time.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead caused by the sudden rise in temperature, Gordon grinned stupidly, showing that he couldn't restrain his excitement.
He couldn't wait any longer.
After the hunter's knife was damaged, he felt that something was missing in his life, and now, the missing part was almost made up.
"Oh, Gordon is here, everything is ready, I personally made it carefully!" The arrogant blacksmith shop owner said in a loud voice.
Pork Chop, who was following Gordon, couldn't help but shrink his neck.
It was this person who scared me yesterday, meow!
As if to prove his bravery, Pork Chop tried his best to raise his head and look directly into the big face of the blacksmith shop owner, but when the blacksmith shop owner looked over, he couldn't help but shrink back behind Gordon.
"Oh, isn't this the little kitten from yesterday? It turns out you are Gordon's partner." The blacksmith shop owner said loudly.
After saying that, without waiting for Pig Chop's reply, he strode to Gordon's side, stretched out his right hand that always wielded a heavy hammer, and patted Gordon's shoulder heavily.
Gordon felt as if he had been slapped by a big bear. If he had to change to a thinner one, he might have been slapped on the ground.
"Yes, the boy is strong enough to deserve the big sword I carefully crafted!"
The blacksmith shop owner nodded with satisfaction and said carelessly: "Come with me, it can't wait any longer."
After that, the owner of the blacksmith shop walked into the inner room first, and Gordon and Pork Chop quickly followed.
In the blacksmith shop, on a huge, thick solid wood long table, there is a huge blade with a ferocious shape and a silver-grey color. Under the light of the fire, it quietly reflects the unique cold luster of steel.
This big sword named "Explosive Knife" subverted Gordon's understanding of the concept of "sword".
No wonder it's called the Explosive Knife. It's more like a broadsword than a sword.
The blade is wide and thick, almost like a shield. The back of the blade has a very large curvature, without a sharp tip. The head of the blade curves downward to form a huge hook.
However, what surprised Gordon the most was not the hook-shaped tip, but the blade - this big sword actually had no edge? !
The craftsman uncle forgot to sharpen the explosive knife due to negligence? This is obviously impossible. No one would make such a stupid mistake that cannot even be called a low-level one.
Gordon soon noticed that the blade of the explosive knife was "hollow" - there seemed to be some mechanism hidden inside the blade.
"Have you seen some tricks?" The owner of the blacksmith shop crossed his arms and looked proud.
