But why had the world suddenly given him a reward?
The most likely possibility Luo Yun could think of was that the Jinouga leader had damaged the ecosystem, while he had ended it, thereby maintaining the ecological balance of the Ancient Forest and receiving this reward.
Simply put, he had unwittingly done a bit of work for the world's consciousness, and this suddenly enhanced perception of and absorption speed for Earth Vein Energy was the payment it had given him.
As for whether this battle had truly been an accident or something driven by the world's consciousness, it did not really matter.
After all, the consciousness of Monster Hunter World—or rather, Nature's Consciousness—was not some exploitative boss. The "battles" it set in motion generally ensured that its enforcers were stronger than their opponents, or that the two sides had some hidden counterrelationship.
Even if some accidents occurred, it would summon more help before the accident unfolded, using the power of numbers to ensure the matter was resolved perfectly.
Naturally, Luo Yun accepted this reward with a clear conscience.
So be it. Plenty of creatures would love the chance to be an enforcer and never get one, Luo Yun thought.
Besides, this was a good boss. Even Savage Deviljho, which had transcended the ecosystem and was no longer bound by anything, had willingly left its nest and traveled all that way to deal with an ecological destroyer on Safi'jiiva's level.
Who would believe there were not enough benefits involved?
But what exactly had this Jinouga leader done? Starting a war between populations should not have been enough to damage the ecosystem, should it?
Unless it had already done something beforehand that threatened the ecological balance of the Ancient Forest.
