Chapter Fourteen: Central Park Fight Club

The Brawl add-on was definitely going to come in handy. I didn’t play with it much before dozing off, but a quick test run showed me that it was fairly simple to use.

For Brawls, I would simply toggle a switch that said “available.” Once I was available, I would see other anonymous Monster Hunters who were also available. I would see only their general location and their level, and I was able to then send them what was known as a Brawl Request.

The Brawl Request also had a prompt for the number of mythcrea that would join the battle, one or two, and another prompt in which Proxima dollars could be wagered.

As I briefly tested the app, it appeared there were a good many brawls available in New York, many around Central Park, and I even received a few requests in the ten minutes or so I had the app open. Of course, some of these requests weren’t in my favor, such as the Level Ten Monster Hunter who wanted to Brawl and wager fifteen thousand PDs.

Iris had hinted that the Brawl add-on had an additional feature I’d like, and she wasn’t wrong. “Monster Locator” produced a grid of my current location and large, shaded circles indicating where mythcrea might be located.

I could see that just a few blocks away, there was a mythcrea behind the bodega we’d eaten tamales at. There were others in the vicinity, and pulling up a map of other parts of the city also showed these potential catches.

Of course, there were other upgrades available, upgrades which allowed the Monster Locator to search for mythcrea based on class and scarcity, and like the Brawl add-on, the upgrades weren’t cheap.

The basic Monster Locator upgrade, which added a red tracking reticle to pinpoint the mythcrea’s exact location, rather than just a vicinity location, cost a thousand dollars.

The one I really wanted, the ability to search for mythcrea based on class and level, was a staggering five thousand dollars.

Even so, the sonar-like Monster Locator which came with the Brawl add-on would work for now. It’d at least give me something to work with, which was better than simply winging it.

I liked that part about this add on, even if it cost me more and more to drill down and improve my tech.

Something about it reminded me of getting musical gear, starting with something basic and then slowly improving your rig. Yeah, you might have started with a turquoise Fender Squire, but then you got that Electro Harmonix Metal Muff, and you had that double coil pickup installed, and you got a serious 15W Orange stack, and then you were cooking with fire.

Of course, you only started there.

Once you got the stack, you eventually got more pedals, and you got rid of that Squire for something a little more shred-ready, and you eventually got another stack, or another guitar, or one of those expensive Ibanez iNet add-ons that allowed you to see and play guitar chords in real time.
