Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 32 Part-time job
So Lin Lin repeated what he had said to Rachel before, but this time he emphasized Xiong Er's gentle character.

Mia looked around Xiong Er from a distance of two or three meters. Xiong Er looked at her in confusion and turned around with her, almost making himself dizzy.

It wasn't until Xiong Er bared his teeth in dissatisfaction that Mia took a few steps back and nodded:
"Its personality is indeed very docile. Although not as tamable as the Herbivorous Dragon, Maru Bird, and other monsters, it is extremely rare for a large monster."

"And it's also very smart. Not only did it learn how to make a fire from you, it can also understand human emotional expressions. For example, your close behavior towards it was not interpreted as a provocation or anything else. This is rare for a monster, even rarer than its docile nature."

"Even among other Blue Bear Beasts, none in previous observations have been more intelligent than this, um, 'Xiong Er'... Of course, it's also possible that no one has thought of making friends with monsters?"

Lin Lin thought that it was his ability to listen to people's thoughts that helped him. Because he knew clearly about Xiong Er's good intentions, he could completely believe that the other party would not hurt him. As a result, he built up trust bit by bit in his contact with Xiong Er, and the result was achieved through their gradual familiarity and running-in with each other.

Try changing someone else's attitude. If an ordinary person stood in front of Xiong Er, even if Xiong Er meant no harm, he would probably be frightened to the point of being paralyzed, right? How could they establish a friendship just like that?
However, there was no need to speak out such things after hearing what was in his heart, so Lin Lin smiled and nodded: "You are right."

Mia looked at Xiong Er with mixed feelings. "I have to thank you. I thought I knew a lot about monsters after studying them for half my life, but now it seems there are still big gaps in our research..."

She suddenly turned to look at Sophia. "When I get back, I'm going to start a project to find out which monsters have the potential to make friends. Do you want to join the research?"

When Sophia heard this, she didn't know what she was thinking about. Her breathing became faster and her fair face turned red. Her voice became a little awkward.
"I want to join! And if possible, please let me research the possibility of making friends with the Broken Dragon!"

Mia nodded with satisfaction, "What a good kid with the spirit of a qualified scholar..."

Lin Lin: ...

No, she's just a simple dragon lover.

He looked back at Xiong Er, who was still confused and didn't understand why Lin Lin wanted to stay here and chat with the two females. He really wanted to eat the honey-grilled fish made by Lin Lin... But the water beast was beaten away, and the petite but violent and terrifying guy was also far away. Since Lin Lin stayed here and had no intention of leaving, he simply lay down on the ground, rubbing the place where he was hit by the water beast's tail with his claws, and hissing from time to time.

"Director Mia, if Xiong Er migrates to the edge of the village, will the guild issue a subjugation commission against him?"

Mia understood Lin Lin's thoughts in just a moment. She pulled her short hair and thought for a moment:

"That depends on the specific situation... If Xiong Er can remain as docile and obedient as he is now and doesn't negatively impact the lives of the villagers, then it shouldn't be a big problem."

"But it's a monster after all. It's hard to say whether the Hunter's Guild will issue a hunting commission for safety reasons..."

She saw the disappointment on Lin Lin's face and smiled softly:

"Speaking of safety, if we make Xiong Er the first subject of our research and choose a suitable habitat nearby for observation and study, that shouldn't be a problem, don't you think?"

Lin Lin's expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright, but he still did not agree outright. Instead, he asked tentatively:
"Will your observations and research have any impact on Xiong Er?"

Mia laughed out loud, then stood on tiptoe and patted Lin Lin's shoulder. "Good boy, stop being a hunter. Since you care so much about monsters, why don't you join our scribe team?"

Lin Lin shook his head decisively: "It's just because he saved my life twice. To me, Xiong Er is no longer a monster, but a friend."

Mia was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything more. She just nodded and said, "Don't worry, we won't do anything to it. We'll just observe and study it."

"By the way, I'd like to hire you to join my research team. You'll be in charge of contacting monsters and attempting to communicate with them. What do you think?"

After a pause, she added, "I'm not asking you to give up your hunter career. I'll publish your work content specifically for you in the Hunter Guild in the form of a commission, and it won't take up too much of your energy." Is there such a good thing?!
In name, he was specially hired to contact monsters, but in reality, wasn't it because he was afraid that I would be worried and wanted him to take care of Xiong Er personally?

Ms. Mia is a great person!
At this moment, Xiong Er, who was lying on the ground bored, suddenly moved his ears, then raised his head, looked in a certain direction, and let out a low growl.

"What's wrong, Xiong Er?"

Lin Lin followed Xiong Er's gaze and saw a large cart towed by two maru birds in the distance. Several Elu cats were jumping and waving their claws in that direction.

"Damn it! I almost forgot, I called the transport team!"

Lin Lin hurriedly turned his head to look at the body of the dog dragon leader, half of which was immersed in the stream water. He was relieved to see that it was not destroyed by the water beast.

The new armor is saved...

He also waved to the Felyns, and then rubbed his hands like a fly, waiting for the Felyn transport team to approach.

Sophia looked at Lin Lin helplessly, "Did you forget that Xiong Er is still lying here? Do you think the little Ailu cats will just come over?"

Lin Lin blinked, "Oh, right..."

"Then... shall I take Xiong Er away from here first?"

Sophia actually wanted to study Xiong Er for a while longer. This guy looked silly and really cute, but now was not the right time, so she had to give up.

"Teacher and I will go back with the transport team. With Senior Rachel here, there's no need to worry about safety... As for Xiong Er's new habitat, teacher, what do you think of the woods across the river near the largest farm in the village?"

"It's very suitable~ Or rather, that's the most suitable area for the Blue Bear Beast to live around the village!"

Mia waved at Lin Lin and said, "I'll submit the project when I get back. You can bring Xiong Er to live there tonight!"

"Thank you for your help!"

"Yeah~ Go ahead! Friendship between different species is truly beautiful..."

Lin Lin chuckled and told Xiong Er to leave:

"Let's go, Bear Two! Let's go fishing! We're having grilled fish today!"

"Roar!"

Xiong Er's eyes instantly shone like black pearls. He growled excitedly, spread out his limbs, and rushed towards the riverbed with a gentle surface, where fish were most likely to gather.

"Hey! Wait for me, Xiong Er!"
