Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 331: Mistakes in Decision-Making

In fact, if possible, the Grand Commander did not want to treat Mantis in this way. After all, based on his past experience with fire dragons, he had learned that the best way to get along with monsters was to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

But when facing Ge Mantis, he really had no choice but to get along with him in this way.

There is no way. As a monster, Mantis's behavior is often driven by instinct.

After reaching a transaction agreement with the Grand Commander, it was as if a switch was turned on for Mantis. After completing the first transaction using silk thread to trade to a large rotating wheel, it no longer concealed its covetousness for the various buildings in the Star Stronghold.

The mantis is a monster. There are not so many twists and turns. Simply put, it is too straight.

Instead of using force to seize the things it liked, it used the newly learned "rules" and tried every means to make a "transaction" with the investigation team.

You know, such a deal is definitely not acceptable to the investigation team.

And it would be fine if he refused once or twice, but Ge Mantis had too many targets and he had to refuse many times every day.

If there was anything that could measure favorability, then during those few days, the Grand Commander saw that Ge Mantis' favorability, which had originally been quite good, was constantly dropping after being rejected again and again.

There was no other way. Finally, at the suggestion of the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief began to use this method to satisfy Mantis's bottomless desire for various architectural creations.

"Ah, if only this guy could be like Fire Dragon Boss, with a sense of propriety and bottom line, even if the relationship is a little more distant."

After watching Ge Mantis happily put away the old waterwheel, he was in a good mood and actively began to cooperate with the engineers to install the new waterwheel. The commander sighed and was about to help the commander-in-chief deal with some affairs.

Then a deep and powerful voice came: "Captain, no mines again?"

The apprentice of the second-term leader looked at the head leader who ran away quickly without looking back, and the words came to his throat, but he swallowed them back.

"Forget it, let's continue to register for related tasks."

He just managed to catch the Grand Commander with great difficulty and was planning to complain to him, but he didn't really intend to let the Grand Commander solve the problem. Who would have thought that the Grand Commander would run away as soon as he heard his voice.

On the other side, the team leader jumped down from a high place and looked behind him with lingering fear. After confirming that the people from the second phase group had not caught up with him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, apart from Ge Mantis, the ones who gave him the most headaches were the members of the second phase, especially the members of the forge. You know, during this period of time, the captain had to take a detour even when passing by the forge. When everyone in the forge, from people to cats, saw the captain, their resentful eyes were so resentful that he wanted to find a cave to hide in.

"Hey? Why are you running so fast? Are the people from the second group chasing you?"

The swordsmanship master's voice came from behind. After the Grand Commander slowly calmed down his breath, he spread his hands and said, "That's right. I almost got caught just now."

Seeing the helpless expression of the Grand Commander, the swordsmanship master raised the corner of his mouth slightly under the helmet, and said with a serious smile: "Who told you not to understand the material reserves in the base? You asked for twenty metal pillars right away."

Faced with this, the Grand Commander had no way to refute it. He simply underestimated the amount of ore needed to create such a metal pillar and overestimated the resource gathering capabilities of the stronghold and the forging capabilities of the craftsmen.

This is the New World. Resource collection, especially mineral resource collection, is basically done by digging with a saw and then transporting it manually. Even though the people in this world are very strong and the hunters are at a monster level, the efficiency of mining is still very slow.

Not to mention that based on the current survey situation in the area under the investigation team's control, no large-scale mineral veins have been found. The reserves in the stronghold were accumulated through the mining of those exposed mineral veins over the years.

Moreover, the ore is smelted into metal and then forged and shaped, and the losses during this period are also considerable.

It can be said that the Grand Commander's casual promise directly overdrew the mineral resources for the next year, and this is when the mineral resources for maintaining the hunters' equipment are included. If this necessary part is excluded, the date may have to be postponed.

But the gains were almost zero. After all, these were just "compensation" to Mantis.

So how could the members of the second group not have any complaints?

"Blame me, blame me. I thought that the small forge over there in the ancient tree could produce six metal pillars in half a year, so it shouldn't be a problem for the base to use thirty pillars in exchange for the friendship of a monster with the combat power comparable to that of an ancient dragon. But, hehe."

The swordsmanship master looked at the regretful look on the head commander's face, sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "This morning, the head of the second group submitted an application to Carlos, intending to advance the mechanized flow forging plan that was originally planned to start in five years, and give priority to completing the transformation in this area. This will not only speed up the rough processing of metals and complete this unprofitable 'order', but also make the forging house easier in the future."

"This"

The captain was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile. He was single-handedly slowing down the pace of the entire investigation team.

The renovation of the forge is good for the future, but for the group, which is in a period of rapid development after the third phase of the group has been supplemented with personnel, if such an important logistics department as the forge is stopped for renovation, the development speed will also slow down.

"What did Carlos say?"

"He agreed."

The Grand Commander was silent. "Sure enough, I am still not suitable for making decisions."

The Grand Commander looked at the busy Star Base and felt very melancholy.

Time flies and years pass by.

After the four seasons have passed, the Dragon Crystal Land still maintains a "peaceful" appearance.

Volcanoes erupting from time to time, endless black dust clouds, and endless battles are the norm here.

In a burst of scorching flames, the Flame Queen Dragon raised its front legs and slapped the swooping Fire Dragon aside, then flapped its wings vigorously and quickly retreated in the strong wind, avoiding Yaji's sharp tail swing in the air.

Looking at the scales on Yaji's chest that were glowing blue-purple from the inside out, and feeling a slight tingling sensation on his left wing, He knew that the toxicity of Yaji's poison had become stronger again!
At this moment, this golden fire dragon that had been fighting for a year finally entered the Tribulation Flame state and possessed power that was no weaker than His.

Seeing this, the temperature around Yan Feilong rose rapidly again, and there were even traces of burning flames in the air. He planned to use a little "ancient dragon's willfulness" to save some face.
