Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 162 The Choice of Flower Chain
"So, this is why the explanatory text is so vague?"

Shui Yun nodded seriously, "I didn't publish the commission because I was afraid that Mr. Sui Fengmin would misunderstand me."

Lin Lin clicked his tongue and suppressed the urge to laugh out loud.

Shui Yun was very efficient. She had completed the formalities in just the time it took her to speak, and returned the hunter's notes and a large purse to Lin Lin.

Lin Lin thanked him and looked back at the center of the meeting hall. That was where the ghost frog cub should have been, but now it was empty.

Curious, Lin Lin looked at Shui Yun again, "President Sui Fengmin is not here, so why is the ghost frog cub missing too?"

Shui Yun paused for a moment, as if thinking:
"Perhaps Lord Hotoyo Toshiro took him out of the village for some fresh air? He's a monster after all, so perhaps staying in the meeting house all the time would be suffocating."

"It seems that President Hotoyo Toshi has a pretty good relationship with that ghost frog..."

"After all, the president has been raising it since it was still a tadpole."

Lin Lin seemed to be thinking about something. Sui Fengmin was not like him who had any super powers to help him, but he was able to raise a ghost frog from a ghost tadpole to such a large individual. He must have real skills.

So...should I talk to him about parenting experience?
After bidding farewell to Shui Yun, Lin Lin walked out of the meeting hall and headed straight for the melting pot in the center of the village. As expected, he saw the village chief Puxian basking in the sun, with his fang hound partner lying quietly beside him.

"Oh, it's Lin Lin! How are you? Are you adapting well in Yanhuo Village these days?"

Lin Lin smiled and greeted them, "Everyone is very welcoming, it's great!"

Well, besides the rabbit dumplings, it would be better if the other foods were more diverse...

"I just heard from the villagers that you came back from outside the village. Did you just finish hunting?"

Lin Lin stretched his arms and reviewed his experience of fighting the Kappa Frog. His smile grew even wider.

"Yes, hunting a Kappa frog. With the help of the Kinsect, I feel my strength has improved a lot. I feel like I can challenge a four-star level mission."

"Really? Pretty easy?"

Village Chief Puxian looked Lin Lin up and down and nodded. "Not bad, but Kinsects are new to you after all. It's best not to rush into it and give it some time to get used to it."

"By the way, have you tried on the flower necklace I gave you?"

Lin Lin shook his head helplessly, "I've tried it. I've tried wearing all four flower necklaces and just one."

Although it was not described in detail before, it took a full day from leaving the village to finding the trace of the kappa frog. During this time, he certainly did not do nothing but look for the kappa frog.

Puxian observed Lin Lin's expression and knew that the effect was definitely not ideal, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me about it?"

Lin Lin recalled the feeling when the ghost fire bird sprinkled the colorful pollen on him, and pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Wearing four kinds of flower chains at the same time will indeed increase the attraction to the Ghost Fire Bird. I have verified this." Puxian did not respond, but quietly waited for Lin Lin's "but".

Lin Lin paused. He had originally wanted to wait for Puxian to act as a supporting role, but he refused to cooperate. Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Lin continued:
"But the human body's ability to absorb the dust of the will-o'-the-wisp...or rather, the pollen of the stalked grass, is limited. At first, the improvement was very noticeable, but as more and more will-o'-the-wisp birds were attracted, the improvement became less and less noticeable."

Samantabhadra nodded approvingly.

"So, if you want to focus on improving a particular ability, it's best to choose to only wear one type of flower necklace. Although the ability to attract will-o'-the-wisp birds is a bit weaker, as long as you are patient, you can still maximize the improvement of that ability."

"On the other hand, if you wear four flower necklaces, you don't have to waste so much energy looking for will-o'-the-wisp birds to strengthen yourself. However, it depends on luck which kind of will-o'-the-wisp birds you attract. Basically, the four aspects of strengthening are more balanced."

Puxian clapped his hands. "Not bad, not bad. So now you understand why the hunters in Yanhuo Village basically only wear one kind of flower necklace, right?"

Lin Lin nodded. After personally experiencing the difference between the two, he decisively put the other three flower chains into the box and only kept a string of ghost fragrance flower chains with him. After all, for him, the ghost fire bird that can heal injuries and enhance the body's ability to withstand blows is really useless. Although the ghost fire bird that can enhance endurance is useful, endurance can be replenished by eating more. How could he be short of the ghost fire bird?
The most practical one is the Ghost Fire Bird that can enhance strength. Whether it is attacking or shielding, it needs sufficient strength to support it.

Lin Lin's strength is his strong point, and he also carries a strength amulet with him, but no hunter would think that he is too strong, they would only regret that his strength is not strong enough. If his strength is improved a little more, Lin Lin might even dare to play sumo with the Kappa Frog.

"By the way, judging from your expression when you came over just now, is there anything you want to say?"

Lin Lin scratched his head embarrassedly, "You saw through it..."

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

Puxian waved his hand and said, "Is there anything in this village that he, as the village chief, can't handle?"
"I found a monster cub while I was hunting this time... Is it okay for me to raise it?"

"Cub? No problem!"

Puxian waved his hand, and the entire Yanhuo Village raised fang hounds. Even more outrageous, Sui Fengmin even raised ghost frogs. It was just picking up a monster cub, how strange could it be?
Lin Lin was overjoyed and bowed quickly, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

Puxian waved his hand nonchalantly, then couldn't help but feel curious, "By the way, what kind of baby did you pick up? Could it be a tadpole of a Kappa frog?"

Lin Lin shook his head, "No, it's..."

Before the three words "Flame Fox Dragon" came out of his mouth, Lin Lin changed his words again after turning around in his mouth.

He was not sure whether the guild had discovered this rare species of Bubble Fox Dragon before, so to be on the safe side, he changed his statement.

"It should be a baby Bubble Fox Dragon, right? But the color seems a little different. Could it be a subspecies? Or maybe a special individual?"

Samantabhadra staggered, what the hell?
A Bubble Fox Dragon? Or a subspecies?

Although the Bubble Fox Dragon has a relatively docile temperament, its danger level is a solid five-star, on the same level as the Rathalos, known as the "King of the Sky", and the Ceratopsus, known as the "Tyrant of the Desert". If it were a more dangerous subspecies, it would require the intervention of a top hunter to be considered a safe level. You went out and picked up such a bombshell for me?
　Thanks to my book friend Han 27 for the reward of points. Thank you very much!
