Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1363 This is called a research topic
"Wait a minute? I didn't hear clearly. What mission are you applying for?"

The squad leader of the supplies team, who was busy with the inventory, turned around and looked at Feng Ying and Xi Xi.

Feng Ying rubbed her hands together. "It's about the investigation of the threat posed by the group of wind-drifting dragons living in the Frozen Canyon to the safety of the base and the local ecological balance!"

Feng Ying finished speaking in one breath as quickly as possible.

Talking quickly is the communication skill that Ansel taught her. It will make the other party ignore some details, while making herself appear to be justified and not humble at all.

Unfortunately, this set of tricks is useless to the leader of the supply squad who grew up struggling in the black market.

Instead, it aroused her vigilance.

After forcing Feng Ying to repeat it word by word, she put down the form in her hand for the moment and glanced at the two of them.

"Huh?"

Xixi looked at Fengying uneasily. She actually did not support such an approach, but she was soft-hearted and could not win over the strong latter.

Feng Ying looked away guiltily.

The leader of the logistics squad knew that the two were giving special training to the purple wind-drifting dragon. After all, the meat for feeding Xiao Zi was purchased from her.

Based on this premise, she could of course guess what Feng Ying's purpose was.

She tucked the form and pen under her armpit, crossed her arms and said, "More than a month ago, the threat assessment against the Wind Drifting Dragons in the Frozen Canyon was completed.

Under the guidance of scholars, hunters have already cut off some of the population and made sure that the group of wind dragons will not affect the surrounding ecological environment. "

What I mean is, you are late.

"Well, it's been more than a month. Can't we evaluate it again?" Feng Ying scratched her head.

The leader of the logistics team rolled his eyes and said, "Don't bother, the investigation team won't care if you want Xiao Zi to return to the tribe or challenge the leader to become the new leader.

But if you want to do something extra, don’t expect the investigation team to endorse you.”

This guy is not easy to fool, Feng Ying scratched her chin.

Xixi pulled at Fengying's sleeve. She was a little hesitant. To put it bluntly, she didn't want Xiaozi to leave in the first place.

Feng Ying's attitude was more resolute.

During these days of special training, she developed a subtle empathy with the purple wind dragon.

She knew that the reason why Xiao Zi was willing to accept her "weight-bearing training" was that she refused to stop even if she fell to the ground and hit trees and got injured again and again.

It is just to become stronger as quickly as possible, then fight back to the tribe, and let those guys who once looked down on me see my strength and backbone!

She had sneaked out of Yanhuo Village with a similar mentality back then.
If we go by Xixi's idea, Xiao Zi won't be able to return to the wilderness for at least three to five years.

Judging from her own experience, Feng Ying felt that Xiao Zi would not be able to hold back for a few months before running away. Instead of that, it would be better to go along with it, at least she could follow it and watch over it.

With her brain working at high speed, Feng Ying came up with another excuse.

She grabbed the hand of the leader of the logistics team and said, "Sister, if Xiao Zi becomes the leader of the Fengpiaolong tribe, it will also be good for our investigation team!"

"Oh?"

The leader of the logistics squad looked at Feng Ying, wanting to see how she was going to argue.

"You see, the Frozen Canyon is a barrier between the southern and northern parts of the permafrost. If we want to develop the more vast and mineral-rich northern region, we can't get around that area.

The group of wind-drifting dragons hovering nearby are a threat!

Especially for the exploration team and the transport team of the fourth phase group, even if there are hunters accompanying them, what if there are several of them at once? There will always be casualties.

But it would be different if Xiao Zi became the leader. It could restrain the tribe and not attack humans.

Dragons will no longer attack our base, so isn't that a one-time solution?"

"."

The leader of the logistics squad was silent for a moment, then he put his hands on his hips and said, "You actually convinced me?"

"Hey, because that's the truth."

"But your reason is too blunt. If we issue the mission in the name of the investigation team, the commander-in-chief will have to review it, which is a bit troublesome.

I will go and tell the head of the research class and let him take charge of the task.

The content of the commission is, um. How about "Investigation on the Competition for the Leader Status of the Wind-Drifting Dragon Clan"?
If you focus on scientific research, it will be easier to pass and you won’t be easily kicked out by Miss Rania.”

Feng Ying blinked, "As expected of you!"

The process of persuading the research class leader went more smoothly than they had expected, for the simple reason that the research class leader was truly interested in this "topic".

"But the focus of the topic needs to be revised." The head of the research class adjusted his glasses, and the lenses reflected a white light.

"It's not a survey on competitive behavior, but a survey on the influence of artificially raised relatives who become group leaders on the habits of wild flying dragons.

In this way, your Xiao Zi is the 'experimental sample', and all actions that help him become the leader of the group can be explained as 'reasonable control of variables to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment'."

"Uh, is this how you scholars issue tasks?" Feng Ying couldn't help but complain.

The leader of the supplies squad snorted, "Aren't there enough weird tasks issued by scholars?"

Thinking of past mission experiences, Feng Ying's eyes twitched.

It seems, yes.
Scholars from all places are like this. The most outrageous one should be from the Dragon Calendar Institute. Even when the Electric Dragon and the Fire Dragon were green, they organized an investigation team to observe.

The third princess also complained to her that some of the so-called tasks she issued were actually scapegoating for the scholars.

The research class leader looked at the confused Xiao Zi, who was obviously a little reluctant about Xiao Zi becoming an “experimental sample”, and continued, “Besides, there is another advantage to issuing tasks in this way.

This is a topic with a very long time span, and coincidentally, Miss Xixi is also a nominal investigator in our Institute of Ecology.

We can send you as an 'observer' to stay in the Frozen Canyon for a long time and provide support in terms of supplies and other aspects. All you need is for you to provide us with an observation report regularly."

The eyes of the demon lit up.

The forest is her territory. She doesn't bring any supplies. If she is thrown into the ancient tree forest for several months or even years, she will probably gain a few kilograms when she comes out.

But the ice and snow of the permafrost was not the environment she was familiar with.

There is basically no snow in Fenglong area.
She herself has the strength of a three or four-star hunter, so hunting for food is not a difficult task for her, but living in the wild for a long time is not as simple as just filling her stomach.

It would be difficult for her to stay in a harsh environment like the Frozen Canyon for a long time by herself.

But with the support of the Ecological Research Institute, things are different. She can stay in the Frozen Canyon to accompany Xiao Zi!
Xixi nodded heavily.

Seeing that the "parent" Xixi had expressed her opinion, Feng Ying said nothing more, "Okay, let's get the task documents ready and set off as soon as possible.

I think Xingchen will call me back for another mission soon, so I can’t stay here for a few days.”

"I understand. The process will be ready soon." The research class leader smiled and said, "I have to go back to Xingchen to attend a meeting in a few days. I can't stay here for long. I have to hurry up and leave in the afternoon."

"Wait?" Feng Ying raised her hand. "What do you mean? You want to go to the Frozen Canyon with me?"

The research class leader picked up the portable camera on the table, as well as a huge notebook nearly ten centimeters thick, and looked at her strangely, "Isn't that a given? Do you think I would miss the opportunity to witness the Wind Drifting Dragons fighting for the leader of the tribe?"

"You scholars are all the same."
