Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 270 Farewell
After encountering the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon, although Lin Lin was put in solitary confinement, his life was temporarily stable.

When he has nothing to do, he practices his moves in the training area set up on the farm. In addition to exploring the "fully charged counterattack" that has not yet been formed, Lin Lin is also thinking about how to call on "Qi" to complete GP like Kevin.

Although he couldn't go outdoors for the time being and couldn't ask Xiong Er for help practicing fully charged counterattacks, he was fortunate to have Tiao Tiao besides Xiong Er. Tiao Tiao had been seriously injured in the previous battle against the Thunder Wolf Dragon, but thanks to the inherently strong vitality of monsters and Lin Lin's constant care, not only were he well but also well-prepared for his wounds, he was also well-prepared for the potions he was given. In just two days, Tiao Tiao had essentially recovered.

Two days passed peacefully, and on the third day, an unexpected visitor came to the farm.

"Sophia?"

Lin Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, put the shield and axe in his hand aside, walked to a wooden stake nearby and sat down, took out the water bag and took a big gulp.

"Why are you here? Did the Scribes give you a day off?"

Sophia walked to the wooden stake opposite Lin Lin and sat down as well. However, compared with Lin Lin's wild sitting posture, which was unique to hunters, Sophia's "elegant" sitting posture with her legs together and her palms lightly pressed on her knees seemed a bit out of place.

"No, I came to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?"

Lin Lin was slightly stunned, then reacted and couldn't help but said in surprise:
"So fast?"

Sophia pursed her lips. "No, it's not going to be fast. The Thunder Wolf Dragons that pose the greatest threat have already been defeated. Your companions are also clearing out the remaining monsters that threaten the trade route. The villagers are already discussing the preparations for the festival. They're just waiting for Mr. Kevin and his men to return after defeating the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon!"

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Is the festival about to take place? Does that mean that the P3 timeline is almost halfway through?

According to his impression, the protagonist of Phase 3 should be the resident hunter sent by the guild to Jieyun Village. However, now that Phase 3's plot is almost halfway through, he hasn't heard a single word from the resident hunter...

Wait, aren't Master Kevin and his crew the "hunters coming from headquarters to provide support"? While they aren't resident hunters, they won't leave until Jieyun Village returns to peace. And considering what they're doing now, isn't it essentially what the protagonist of P3 did?
Could it be that, like Todd, whom they had met in Rocklark, one of them was the P3 protagonist? Or, to put it simply, the entire team of three was the P3 protagonist?

Lin Lin was not quite sure, and he did not have the time to think about it now. After all, Sophia was sitting opposite him!
"So after you return to East Dorma, will you still conduct a monster ecology survey like you are doing now?"

Sophia lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly:

"It's difficult. The headquarters' field surveys require a lot of experience and qualifications. I'm likely to be assigned to do some paperwork or something like that."

"My favorite thing is to observe and study the ecology of monsters. I also like my current job because I can see them alive with my own eyes instead of seeing them in pictures in books."

Lin Lin thought for a moment and pointed his finger upwards:
"Hey! I have an idea!"

Sophia blinked and looked at Lin Lin in a daze, "What?"

"Have you ever considered being a poster girl?" "Huh?"

"Although it's definitely not as good as field research like this where I can come into direct contact with monsters, at least I can get materials from them!"

Lin Lin pointed at the ice-blue heavy armor on his body. This armor made of deformed ice shark material now had some charred marks. Those were the traces left by the electric current that was transmitted when it blocked the attack of the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon. It was not as badly damaged as the earth and sand suit. These traces could be restored to their original state after being sent to the craftsmen for maintenance. However, once this set of armor was sent away, Lin Lin would really have no comfortable clothes to wear. So he delayed for a while and prepared to wait until the earth and sand armor was repaired before sending it over.

Sophia looked at Lin Lin seriously, then smiled and nodded after a moment:

"It's an option worth considering, if all the hunters the poster girl receives are like you."

Lin Lin knew what Sophia was referring to. She meant that hunters like him, who would make friends with monsters from time to time and would pick up monster cubs and raise them, were not rare, but one in a million.

"correct."

Sophia suddenly seemed to remember something. "Speaking of which, I heard you're grounded? You won't be able to go hunting for a while, right? When are you going to get that dragon egg back?"

She sighed softly, "It's a pity that I won't be able to see the fire dragon cub hatching from its shell. That would be such a wonderful symphony of life..."

Lin Lin coughed lightly. In the past two days, the appearance of the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon had messed up his plans, so much so that he accidentally forgot about the dragon egg.

"Ahem, today is worse than tomorrow, how about now?"

"……also."

……

Sophia placed the dragon egg and the incubator in the "staff dormitory" provided by the Scribe Team, so Lin Lin also had the opportunity to visit what the boudoirs of the female Scribe Team members looked like.

But after seeing it with his own eyes, Lin Lin couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Books, all books!

Although the room was clean and odorless, and everything was neatly arranged without any clutter, the piles of books almost blocked the entire room, leaving no place to stand. Perhaps the only thing in the room that could tell that its owner was a woman was the several stuffed dolls placed on the bedside.

Lin Lin took a quick glance and roughly identified the corresponding image based on the shape of the doll.

It has an orange body, a big yellow beak, and wings. This should be a doll of the big monster bird Yang Kuku, right?
A dark blue body, chubby and round, with a bright red tongue half-peeked out from the corner of its mouth. Is this guy... Xiong Er? My goodness, Xiong Er looks fierce now, but how did he become so adorable after being transformed into a doll?

The long violet body and big cartoon eyes make it look both cute and cunning, and the slightly upturned corners of its mouth make it obvious that this doll is based on Puff.

And this orange and green doll looks ugly, like a bipedal dinosaur. Could it be... Jumping?
