“that Monstrous Worm Is Incredibly Valuable!”
“What you said does make some sense.”
Master Jia nodded.
“Regarding this Monster, I need to think it over carefully. I’ll discuss it with the High Level later when I get back.”
“Next, you continue searching the mountain.”
“If you encounter that Monster again, do not show any Malice or aggression.”
“Simply record the Monster’s activity area and the Monster’s purpose.”
“If that Monster is truly as you say, not aggressive towards you, then perhaps you can also show your Sincerity.”
“Sincerity?”
Officer Zhang was somewhat confused after hearing this.
“What sincerity?”
Master Jia took a puff of his pipe, saw Officer Zhang’s Doubtful look, and smiled:
“You’re still too young.”
“If it’s truly confirmed that the Monster has no Malice towards us, then shouldn’t we look for an opportunity to make this relationship closer?”
“From a relationship with no Malice to a Partner relationship?”
Hearing Master Jia say this, Officer Zhang instantly understood, his eyes showing delight.
“Yes!”
“If the Monster has no Malice towards us, it means their Impression of us isn’t bad.”
“We have a chance to pull the Monster into our Faction!”
“Mm.”
Master Jia nodded.
“It’s good that you understand.”
“According to your account, wasn’t it on the Sports Field that the Monster snatched your warning lines and Shields?”
“These warning lines and Shields all have a certain amount of aggression and Restrictions against the Weird.”
“You said that when the Monster appeared this time, it was covered in these things.”
“This means the Monster still needs these things.”
“I’ll get some of these things for you. Next time you encounter the Monster, give these things to the Monster to show our Sincerity.”
As Master Jia spoke, he took down a Scroll similar to a row of Hand Grenades that was tied to his Belt and gave it to Officer Zhang.
Officer Zhang saw that Master Jia actually planned to give this thing to the Monster and was instantly shocked.
“Master Jia, these are incredibly valuable things!”
“It’s because they’re valuable that I’m giving them. Otherwise, if you give the Monster some junk, how will it see your Sincerity?”
“…”
“But…”
“No need to say anything. I have a bold Idea now. If this Idea can be successfully implemented, the Situation which has been unfavorable for the past year will be greatly improved.” Master Jia thoughtfully stroked his goatee.
“Idea…”
The more Master Jia spoke, the more confused Officer Zhang became.
Seeing Officer Zhang like this, Master Jia shook his head helplessly.
“Forget it, I might as well tell you.”
“Let’s talk somewhere else.”
“Okay.”
Master Jia and Officer Zhang went to a side to chat privately.
Master Jia began to express his Idea.
“I may have had the wrong Impression and judgment of this Monster before, but after what you said tonight.”
“I feel that the Long Worm Monster is of great Value!”
“You said that the Long Worm Monster stuck the snatched warning lines and Shields on its body. I noticed an intriguing point.”
“The Long Worm Monster’s relationship with the Weird might not be as harmonious as ours.”
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t be sticking those Evil-Repelling things on its body.”
“If I’m not mistaken, the Long Worm Monster and the Weird might be in an opposing relationship.”
“Coincidentally, the Weird is also in an opposing relationship with us.”
“So, if both we and the Long Worm Monster are in opposing relationships with the Weird, then we are also on the same front in some aspects.”
“It’s just speculation, but I think it’s very possible.”
“So I want to try pulling the Long Worm Monster into our Faction and fighting against the Weird together!”
“…”
“For the past year, there has been all sorts of negative news related to the Weird, but the arrival of this Monster has not caused us any harm. Perhaps, this Monster will be the key to changing our current deteriorating Situation.”
“No matter how small the hope is, we have to try.”
“…”
“Master Jia, to be honest, I very much agree with your Idea.”
“However, I really can’t think of a way to pull this Monster into our Faction.”
“We don’t speak the same language as this Monster. If we want the Monster to understand our Ideas, language is an Obstacle.”
“I’ll figure that out later.”
“Anyway, what I want you to do now is that if you encounter the Monster again, after confirming that the Monster will not harm you, give the Monster what I gave you.”
“Let it see that we don’t have Malice anymore.”
“This way, we can first make the Monster’s Impression of us better.”
“Later, we will figure out what the Long Worm Monster wants, what the Long Worm Monster thinks, and then we’ll give the Long Worm Monster what it wants.”
“If we do this Operation several times, I believe we will have the opportunity to have further Operation with the Monster. Then, we will see how we can negotiate and express our Ideas.”
“Okay, Master Jia, I’ll do as you say.”
Officer Zhang nodded.
Suddenly, he thought of a problem and frowned.
“Master Jia, although you and I want to try this method.”
“But the implementation of this method requires the participation of more people.”
“Everyone’s Ideas and Positions may be different, some conservative, some radical. The implementation will be a considerable Obstacle.”
“Mm.” Master Jia nodded. “Leave this to me.”
“The main thing is to get those High Level to agree to this approach.”
“In this increasingly bad and unfavorable Situation, striving for a glimmer of hope is at least better than doing nothing.”
“Some High Level are old pranksters, but I’ll find a way to persuade them.”
“Also, the current news about the Monster is all negative. The reports characterize the Monster as a Tyrannical existence like the Weird. I hope you can find relevant personnel to release some more objective news, such as the Monster not actively attacking people, and that the Monster didn’t harm you tonight when it met you.”
“Okay, Master Jia, I’ll take care of this!”
“Then, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
“I need to start talking to those High Level pranksters.”
“Master Jia, wait a moment. I want to ask how that Newcomer in Chengbei District is doing?”
“That E-level Newcomer?”
“Yes.”
Master Jia’s brows furrowed slightly.
“That Newcomer is very special.”
“Fear Value Rating is E-level, but when encountering the Weird, they have an S-level Battle performance. It’s incredible…”
