Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 209: The only time a name is useless is when it is copied
"Looking after that dragon egg again? Brother Lin Lin, are you planning to raise another fire dragon like Tiaotiao and Puff?"

Ye Zi said, unable to help but laugh out loud.

It's really strange. If it were her, she would definitely find it troublesome and worry about whether it would affect everyone in the village, and then slap her forehead and decide on "spicy red bean paste".

But when it came to Lin Lin doing this, she inexplicably lost those concerns, as if she instinctively believed that he could definitely control these dangerous guys... Well, it might also be the conclusion she came to after seeing with her own eyes how the two monsters got along with Lin Lin?
Lin Lin propped his chin on one hand and glanced at the incubator. "That should be it..."

"Brother Lin Lin, have you decided on a name? Fei Fei, Dragon Fruit, or Storm Red?"

Ye Zi reviewed the names of Tiao Tiao and Puff, and tried to imitate Lin Lin's naming idea to give a name to the unborn fire dragon baby.

Of course, the last red storm was her contraband. This girl actually had a bit of a middle school mentality, but she just couldn't help but not harm her own cub. In fact, in her original idea, the hound should be named Amaterasu, the Fukuki rabbit should be named Night Owl, and the bright red rhinoceros beetle should be named Kabuto, but because she felt it was too shameful, she gave up on it and instead gave it its current name perfunctorily.

Lin Lin curled the corners of his mouth, his tone a little resentful.

"In your hearts, am I really just bad at naming?"

You can tell at first listen that Fei Fei is benchmarked against Tiao Tiao, Pitaya is benchmarked against Puff, and Storm Red is benchmarked against... uh, Pacific Rim?
Lin Lin paused, and regained his confidence in his tone:

"Hey, I must have a good name this time!"

Ye Zi blinked. Actually, she didn’t think Lin Lin’s name was that bad, but since Brother Lin Lin said so, she wanted to listen carefully to what kind of amazing name it was.

"After it hatches, if it's a male, it'll be called Sky; if it's a female, it'll be called Earth!"

Lin Lin looked very proud. This was originally the name of the Fire Dragon. Now he copied it exactly as it was, which was called a tribute.

"Why not just call them Dakong Dadi? Calling them just one doesn't seem to have as much momentum as this one."

Lin Lin's mouth twitched. "Should I change my name to X?"

"Eh?"

Ye Zi tilted his head and blinked his big eyes.

Brother Lin Lin is always like this, and from time to time he would say something that she couldn't understand.

But Brother Lin Lin like this gave her an indescribable sense of mystery, as if he was covered by a veil. Not only was she not disgusted, but it also added a sense of curiosity, making her want to tear the veil off.

He told a joke that no one in this world understood, so naturally no one could pick up on it. Lin Lin shook his head slightly, not taking it to heart, and just naturally changed the subject.

"You didn't come to me just to chat, did you? Are we almost at our destination?"

Ye Zi came back to his senses, responded, then took out a bottle of red liquid and handed it to Lin Lin.

"Yeah, that's right! Oh, by the way, I wanted to give this to you, Brother Lin Lin. I almost forgot, hehe~"

Lin Lin took it, unscrewed the bottle cap, and took a light sniff.

hiss……

Lin Lin shuddered, feeling a pungent sensation shoot up his nose and into his head, even his tailbone went numb. Oh my god, this is such pure stuff!
Lin Lin pursed his lips and felt his face getting hot, probably flushed. It must be said that this pepper water was really strong.

What Ye Zi gave to Lin Lin was naturally not something unhealthy, but an essential item for their activities in this frozen archipelago - hot drinks.

Of course, compared to the official name of hot drink, Lin Lin prefers to call this thing by its alias, which is chili water.

This thing is chili water in the physical sense. It is made by combining extremely spicy chili peppers with bitter insects that can stimulate the medicinal properties of plants, and then adding a small amount of water to mix it.

This thing is useful, but it's also really hard to drink. The spiciness is simply abnormal, allowing people to move in the snow and ice and still maintain body temperature. In addition, it is mixed with the lingering bitter taste of bitter insects. It is really hard to describe. I really don't know how the pharmacist came up with such a genius idea when inventing these potions?
Compared to the hot chili water, the corresponding cold drink is simply a delicious wine!
Lin Lin gulped down the hot drink with his eyes closed, and shuddered again. His lips trembled involuntarily, which made Ye Zi laugh uncontrollably.

"Brother Lin Lin, I didn't expect you're afraid of spicy food?"

Lin Lin immediately stiffened his neck and retorted, "Who said that? I used to love spicy food, okay?"

"Yes, yes, you might have eaten too much spicy food~"

Ye Zi responded without sincerity, and anyone could hear the perfunctory tone in his voice.

I'm so angry...

Lin Lin decided not to continue arguing with Ye Zi on this topic and forcibly changed the subject again:

"Okay, now that we're almost there, let's get out there!"

After saying that, Lin Lin pushed the door open and walked out first, followed closely by Ye Zi.

When they stepped onto the deck, the white sky and earth in front of them came into view.

It is not pure white, but a complex color mixed with ice blue, sea blue, and white snow. Although it looks a bit monotonous at first glance, as long as you observe carefully, you will find that it is actually full of vitality.

"Wow~ It's snow!"

Ye Zi stretched out her hand, and the cold wind blew past with ice crystals, leaving a hexagonal snowflake on her hand.

Looking at Ye Zi's joyful expression, Lin Lin was slightly startled, as if he had just realized that without labels like "Flame" and "King of the Great West", she seemed to be just a young girl - well, a girl from the south who had never seen snow.

If she were in the original world, at her age, she should still be a high school student who only needs to focus on studying every day, right?
If it were in the original world, things like fighting and killing, and protecting compatriots from wind and rain would never fall on the little girl's tender shoulders.

Lin Lin then reached out and caught a snowflake, showing it to Ye Zi:
"You know what? There are never two identical snowflakes in this world."

Ye Zi raised his hand and pressed the melting snowflake in his palm onto Lin Lin's hand. In the blink of an eye, the two snowflakes merged together and became a slightly larger snowflake.

"Hehe, I don't understand that, but I only know that if you stack two snowflakes that are about to melt together, they can be preserved longer."

"Hey! What are you two doing? Come over here and help move the stuff! The campsite is quite far from here!"
