"Thank you. We still have some materials that we want to collect. We may not leave until later."
Eudora informed.
"Well, thank you to the team for their efforts in regional security. See you soon!"
After the middle-aged investigator finished speaking, he and his companions boarded the ship and returned.
With Yaya's guidance, the team found a new cave training ground the next day.
After a week of training, Eudora has adapted to wearing a full set of dragon-slaying equipment, but the negative effects of the laissez-faire method have also appeared.
That is, even if Eudora no longer wears the dragon-slaying equipment, the urge to slay will still remain in her body.
Li Fan wears a helmet, gauntlets, and boots, which is already the limit for actual combat.
As for the impact of removing the equipment
Bah! Bah! Bah!
bass!
Next to the bonfire under the abandoned cargo ship, Li Fan threw away the reddish sharpening stone and raised the dragon-slaying sword to face the full moon. When he saw the cold light reflected by the moonlight appearing on the blade, he let out a burst of pitiful laughter.
"What should I do? Li Fan has been sharpening his knife when he has free time recently. He has been sharpening it for almost an hour today."
Dilu, who was watching on the deck of the ship, said with some worry.
"It's a very mild reaction to adapt to the equipment in a laissez-faire way. Seeing as he becomes more and more proficient in sharpening his knives, it's not necessarily a bad thing."
Eudora speculated.
"So being a hunter is so difficult?"
Dilu's ears drooped slightly.
"If a hunter wants to become stronger, he must constantly improve his body and will. Adapting to equipment is just one of the many tests. It's almost time. Can you untie me?"
Eudora, who was tied to the bottom of the mast, asked tentatively.
"Okay, meow, don't chop me."
The next day, the scheduled adaptation training plan had expired, and the team was quite satisfied with the results.
Before returning, whether to take Ya Ya away has become a difficult problem.
Although the Frozen Islands are very suitable for Yaya to live in, the growth of strength that can be achieved by relying on the environment here seems to have reached the upper limit.
If we leave, the natural environmental advantages will be gone, so not to mention Li Fan, even Ya Ya himself will feel confused about the future.
"Ya Ya, you can choose for yourself, whether to see the wider world or stay in the Frozen Islands."
Li Fan asked when he got up early to pack his bags.
He also wanted to give the other party more time to consider, but the team was about to return and a decision had to be made as soon as possible.
Yaya stared at the elf ball in Li Fan's hand for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"I understand. If someone offends you, don't act out of anger. Remember the characteristics of the other person and avenge you when I come back."
Yaya shook his head again.
"Um?"
Li Fan couldn't understand it now.
Yaya used his wing claws to scratch out a heart pattern on the ice.
"Are you going to enter the friendly ball and leave?"
Li Fan asked tentatively.
Yaya nodded quickly.
"Zhan Zhan likes to play in the fierce fighting ball, and you like to play in the friendly ball. Isn't it different to decorate it?"
Li Fan said as he replaced the friendly ball, and Yaya stood there with his neck raised, looking very expectant.
The little fool, who had eaten and drank enough, was flying at high speed in the cold wind, very fast, but the old problem of bumps still had not improved.
Three days later, the team landed in the outer area of Yanhuo Village and started walking with their tired bodies.
On the wooden bridge entering the village, the village chief Puxian saw the team returning and ran over to greet them.
Li Fan was a little confused. This four-star contract was not an urgent mission, so there was no need to be so grand.
After a short negotiation, we found out that the team's use of flying insects at the training ground in the village was reported to Samantabhadra by the onlookers.
The other party is extremely interested in the breeding method of flying insects.
So Li Fan came to Puxian's home to talk in detail.
Li Fan admired the other party's vision. Just by listening to the description, he knew that flying insects might bring about subversive changes to the existing hunting battles.
After seeing the demonstrations of Flying Insect Leaping and Sakura Iron Insect Silk Air Blade Slash, Pu Xian said very solemnly: "Li Fan, how about selling the cultivation method to Yanhuo Village?"
"this"
The reason why Li Fan hesitated was not that he didn't want to sell it, but that the formula was not valuable at all.
Puxian's current state has obviously gone into a misunderstanding.
It is determined that the reason why the flying insects have undergone qualitative changes must be due to the extremely sophisticated methods used in their cultivation.
But in fact, the essence is just to collect materials from the ground.
Even if there are no Poke Balls or handheld devices, with the scientific research capabilities of Yanhuo Village, as long as we find the right research direction, we can quickly cultivate similar flying insects in a short period of time.
"No need to worry, Yanhuo Village will try its best to meet any conditions."
Puxian patted his chest and assured.
"Then an airship?"
Li Fan asked tentatively.
"No problem. The village's own medium-sized airship, the Flame, is yours from now on. I only have one request, and that is that you cannot go back on it."
Puxian said, and wrote the contract, then signed it himself and pressed the seal of Yanhuo Village.
Medium-sized airship? As a private airship, it seems a bit too luxurious.
Li Fan's wish was to have a small airship that would be enough for the team to travel far away.
The conditions given by the other party clearly exceeded expectations.
"You don't think about it anymore?"
Li Fan finally confirmed.
"unnecessary."
Puxian crossed his arms and spoke with an extremely firm tone.
"All right."
The large-scale application of flying insects in hunting will definitely bring a certain degree of improvement to hunters who are willing to equip them.
The stronger the hunter is, the more stable the world will naturally be.
As the main habitat of flying insects, even if Samantabhadra didn't come to buy it, Li Fan would spread the cultivation method to Yanhuo Village.
"Thank you to the village chief Puxian for sending the airship."
Li Fan looked at the contract and the certificate of ownership of the Flame and couldn't help but sigh.
Pu Xian handed over a thick stack of paper.
"Not required."
Li Fan waved his hand and said.
"Are there any ready-made breeding materials?"
Puxian asked doubtfully.
"No, the cultivation method is very short and does not require writing records."
Li Fan informed.
"ah?"
"For the first 5 days, feed the ground fire butterfly, and for the next 3 days, the thread puppet spider grinds. In the next 7 days, you can try feeding live fire butterflies and thread puppet spiders to improve the ability of the flying insects to hunt independently. Well, that's it."
"What happens after that?"
Puxian asked in a trembling voice.
"there is none left."
Following Li Fan's answer, Puxian sat back on the chair blankly, and the room fell into silence.
I can’t let Village Chief Puxian suffer too much, so I’ll say a few more words.
After Li Fan thought about it in his mind, he explained it again.
"Individuals that are fasting or overeating, causing their body size to grow too fast, must be screened out in advance. After the preliminary training is completed and the hunter cooperates, a small amount of Magatama grass can be fed as encouragement. A special insect box is used. I am usually used to loading it.
On the right forearm."
"Uh, remember."
The absentminded Samantabhadra responded.
"According to the scientific research capabilities of Yanhuo Village, I think we should be able to develop a faster breeding method. Maybe we can try to set up a worm box with an automatic feeding function in the wild to let the flying worms cultivate themselves. It doesn't feel like it will take long, maybe
It’s anyone’s guess whether flying insects in the wild can be transformed into cultivated individuals.”
After hearing this, Puxian's eyes regained a little sparkle.
"If the offspring of flying insects are cultivated and their adaptability is strong enough, we can try to release them into all areas. Perhaps one day in the near future, flying insects will not only be limited to the area of Yanhuo Village and the Waste God Community, but will be spread throughout the world."
"well said!"
Pu Xian suddenly stood up and Li Fan was startled.
"Well, come on."
Not long after Li Fan walked out of the door, he heard the sound of a gong.
He thought it was Puxian who brought people to snatch the contract back, but he found out after asking.
This gong will only be sounded when the Night Parade of Hundred Dragons suddenly approaches, or when there is an important matter that calls for all the villagers to be summoned.
Squeak! Eudora opened the hotel door and went to the branch to collect the reward, and was calculating the cost of this hunt.
"Why are you so sneaky?"
Eudora asked puzzledly.
Li Fan spread out the contract and showed it to her.
"ah!!!!!"
Hush! Li Fan made a silent gesture.
The contract that was put down smoothly was noticed by Di Lu at the table.
Di Lu tilted her head and looked at it for a moment.
"Is it an airship? Meow!!!!"
"How about you two calm down?"
Li Fan was also speechless.
"Can the cultivation method of flying insects be replaced by airships or medium-sized ones?"
Eudora asked in disbelief.
"The other party insisted on giving it to me in exchange."
"Well, let's try to open it first."
Eudora said, packed up her things, and the team quickly rushed to Yanhuo Village Airport.
When I came to a medium-sized airship that was unloading cargo, I looked at the flag and shape. It was exactly the airship described on the Flame's ownership certificate.
A crew member understood the reason and led the team to receive it.
"The Yanhuo is a medium-sized airship manufactured in accordance with the standard design drawings of the Dragon Li Academy. The purpose is to resist the Fengshen Dragon, so the hull is equipped with thick metal walls and two deck gun ports. Its weight is among the medium-sized airships of the same level.
, which is considered relatively high.”
Said the crew member.
Li Fan watched for a moment on the deck and asked doubtfully: "Why does it feel more like a cargo airship now?"
"Not long after the Yanhuo Village was built, Longliyuan built a giant airship to track and investigate ancient dragons, and also proposed the aerial combat method of a giant airship cluster array. Other villages and towns were unable to follow up. The development of medium-sized combat airships
The manufacturing can only be put on hold, and we will simply convert it into a cargo airship later."
the crewman explained.
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Village Chief Puxian said that you are a team of hunters with great potential. I hope you can come to Yanhuo Village often to accept contracts in the future."
After unloading the cargo, the team took stock of the general configuration of the Flame.
The cabin is divided into two smaller accommodation cabins and an oversized cargo hold.
The oval airbag at the top is made of spliced and stitched monster wing membranes.
There is a vertical observation port and two cloud telescopes at the bow of the ship.
On the elevated deck near the stern of the ship, there are steering wheels and lift gear levers.
"It seems a bit complicated."
Li Fan grabbed the steering wheel handle and found that the view from the driver's seat was very good.
But he really had no idea how to fly an airship, let alone fly back to Kara Village.
Thinking of the airport management office he saw when he arrived, Li Fan told Eudora Dilu who was cleaning it, and got off the ship.
When I heard that the private airship was recruiting pilots, the staff handed over a book with a thick cover.
Time in the industry, age, expected salary
All kinds of airship pilot information are available.
There are really a lot of talents.
George, who has been piloting transport airships for fifteen years.
Isk, who piloted a medium-sized combat airship and fought with a male fire dragon for five hours to escape danger.
Kanter, the runner-up of the 17th Sky Mountain Airship Race.
Li Fan is quite satisfied with these drivers, but the salary is a bit high, with the lowest being 20,000 z per month.
And how to accept monster companions is also an unavoidable problem.
After flipping over and over, wages suddenly dropped off a cliff.
Li Fan took a closer look and found that in the last dozen pages of the booklet, the registrations were all El Cat pilots, and the introduction style immediately became surprising.
Sanhua who can fly an airship while sleeping.
I have no piloting experience and want to build an airship to practice my skills.
Ah Hao who drives an airship and can use the whirlwind charge tornado.
A black and white microphone that can make all riders fall into despair.
These Elcat pilots are quite honest.
Li Fan turned the page again.
I am Ferry, the sky pirate cat, an Elle cat who was born on an airship.
Can skillfully pilot all airships except giant airships.
He really likes flying in the clouds and is extremely passionate about ecological investigations of high-altitude monsters.
If you are also an adventurous airship owner, please contact me as soon as possible!
This feels okay, although the monthly salary of 4,400z is much higher than other Elumas.
After finally seeing a relatively normal one, Li Fan immediately asked the counter staff.
"Sorry, the Cat Airship pilot level is the highest level and can only drive small airships. The one you registered at the airport is a medium-sized airship."
The female receptionist shook her head and said.
"I have a blimp somewhere else."
"Okay then, counting from the left doorpost of the airport cargo terminal, it's the eighth wooden barrel."
The female receptionist informed helplessly.
Li Fan looked for it according to the address.
"1,2,8!"
Counting to the eighth wooden barrel, Li Fan knocked on the lid with the skull mark.
"Who is it, meow?"
"Is that Sky Pirate Cat Ferry?"
"What's the matter, meow?"
"I have an airship and I want you to be the pilot."
Bang!
Before Li Fan finished speaking, the lid of the wooden barrel flew into the air.
Fei Rui, whose hair was as white as clouds, jumped to the edge of the barrel and elegantly put a red pirate hat on the top of his head.
"Captain, are you leaving now?"
Li Fan raised his hand to catch the lid of the wooden barrel and asked doubtfully: "You don't even want to ask where you are going? Do you want to know the size and model of the airship?"
"It doesn't matter, I've had enough of land cats."
Fei Rui said, turned around, picked up a large bag from the bucket, and carried it on his back.
"All right."
"Um, Sky Pirate Cat Ferry has a request. Can you give me half a month's salary in advance?"
"Okay, 2200z, right?"
Li Fan took out his money bag, counted out a bunch of coins, and placed them on the cat's paw.
"Thank you, meow."
Fei Rui walked to the barrel, and while thinking about it, he stretched out his claws to open the lids of the barrels one by one, and put coins in varying amounts in.
Soon, Ellu cats of different colors lifted the lid of the bucket, exposed their heads and looked out.
Fei Rui straightened his red pirate hat, pinched his waist and said loudly: "The debt is paid off, and I am going to the sky!"
Flute, tambourine, whistle, organ and other musical instruments appeared in the hands of the El cats like magic.
After listening to a two-minute farewell performance, Fei Rui followed Li Fan to the airport terminal.
