Feasibility Report and Special Case

After over an hour of Wang Keke's arduous, grueling, and "cross-server," "cross-species" business negotiations (which included, but were not limited to, a tug-of-war over daily fruit supply, defining the standards for the crown's luster, and repeated confirmation of the specific material and dimensions for a "larger, smoother red battle robe"), a potentially bloody conflict was finally quelled by an absurd "verbal agreement."

The main contents of the agreement are as follows:

1. The human side (Outpost 04) will provide the monkey troop with a fixed quantity of fresh fruit, high-energy candy, and certain shiny metal ornaments every week (as a down payment for King Gigi's new crown and a deposit for General Maomao's new "battle robe").

2. The monkey troop will cease its looting of patrol and transport teams and resume the previous "limited cooperation" mode, meaning they may provide "long-range stone-throwing" support at their discretion when human patrols encounter attacks from other powerful monsters.

3. Both sides will maintain "friendly" communication channels, meaning that when Wang Keke or Lin Mo are present, they may communicate via mental intent.

After reaching the "agreement," General Maomao left, satisfied (mostly due to his anticipation of the new "battle robe"). He led the monkey troop, carrying the batch of fruit and candy the humans had paid in advance as a sign of "sincerity," and marched grandly back into the depths of the forest.

King Gigi, perched on a tree branch, cast one last haughty glance at Lin Mo, his expression seeming to say, "You long-legged, hairless monkeys know when to be sensible!" Only then did he perform an elegant backflip and vanish into the dense foliage.

(Internal OS): "Finally, those plagues... er, friendly neighbors are gone. But why does this King feel the frustration of having signed an unequal treaty? Also, what was the meaning of that look the golden-furred monkey gave me at the end? Was it a provocation?!"

The crisis was temporarily averted, and everyone at Outpost 04 breathed a sigh of relief. However, the "communication" ability displayed by Wang Keke and the Winged Tiger caused a stir far greater than the monkey chaos itself.

The news was immediately classified as top secret and reported to the highest military levels of the Northeast Base City and the core of the Wang Family.

A joint research team composed of top biologists, Spirit Reader researchers, psychologists, and military strategists was quickly formed. Their primary task was to analyze and evaluate the feasibility, universality, and strategic value of the "Wang Keke-Mimi" combination communicating mentally with highly intelligent mutant beasts.

A massive amount of data was retrieved and analyzed: Wang Keke's aptitude as a Spirit Reader, the source of the Spirit-Rhino Resonance Chapter secret technique she practiced (confirmed to have been unearthed from an ancient civilization ruin), the uniqueness of Mimi (Loyalty Trial data), the strength and mental attributes of the monkeys Gigi and Maomao, records of the mental fluctuations during their contact, and a detailed log of the entire negotiation process...

The research was conducted in an atmosphere of high secrecy and tension. Several days later, a preliminary feasibility report was placed on the desks of the high-ranking officials.

The core conclusion of the report was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the fanatical fantasies of some who dreamed of "forming a monster translator corps":

"Based on preliminary assessment, the successful mental exchange between the 'Wang Keke-Mimi' combination and the mutant beasts 'Gigi' and 'Maomao' is an extremely rare individual case and does not possess the feasibility for large-scale promotion or replication."

The report detailed the reasons:

1. The uniqueness of the communicating subjects: The core of the communication was not a single individual, but the combination of "Wang Keke" and "Mimi." The Spirit-Rhino Resonance Chapter practiced by Wang Keke is the key; this secret technique is extremely rare, has harsh requirements for the practitioner's talent, and primarily functions to enhance the telepathic bond between a master and their contracted battle pet.

Her ability to capture the mental intent emitted by Maomao was largely due to the uniqueness of her secret technique and her familiarity with Lin Mo's mental fluctuations, which was equivalent to accidentally catching an external "wireless signal" based on a stable "internal network."

2. The communication target must satisfy two conditions simultaneously:

First, they must possess mental-type abilities and reach the War General rank, capable of actively and stably emitting mental intent waves that can be captured and understood;

Second, they must not have (immediate) lethal malice toward humans. Like Gigi and Maomao, their behavioral motivations stemmed from "cognitive bias" and "material demands" rather than an irreconcilable hunting instinct, which provided the most basic psychological soil for communication.

For the vast majority of monsters that view humans as prey or threats, the mental fluctuations they emit are more likely to be filled with violence and a desire for destruction, making rational communication extremely difficult.

3. The ambiguity and limitations of information transmission: Even for Wang Keke, the intent she could receive and transmit was extremely vague, fragmented, and filled with a large amount of emotional and instinctual information, relying on association and guesswork for "translation." The content of the communication was limited to basic needs, simple emotions, and direct commands; it was impossible to conduct exchanges involving complex logic, abstract concepts, or deep strategy. Relying on this method to turn a Lord Rank monster in a beast tide or to engage in precise cooperation would be nothing short of a fantasy.

4. The existence of Mimi, with its powerful life magnetic field and unique soul essence, may have acted as a "signal amplifier" or "stabilizer" to a certain extent, but the specific mechanism is unknown and cannot be replicated.

In short, this successful "diplomatic" event was an accidental miracle produced under specific techniques, a specific combination, a specific target, and a specific situation. It opened a window, proving the "theoretical possibility" of limited communication with certain highly intelligent, mental-type, non-absolutely hostile mutant beasts, but it is still a long way from practical application.

(Internal OS, from a general who finished reading the report): "As expected... the reason a miracle is a miracle is because it cannot be replicated. However, even if it is just an individual case, its symbolic significance and potential value are immense. At the very least, we now know that in certain situations, 'negotiation' can be an option alongside 'bullets'."

The final recommendation of the report: Conduct deeper observation and research on Wang Keke, Lin Mo, and the Spirit-Rhino Resonance Chapter (without overly interfering with their growth), while closely monitoring other mutant beast individuals that may possess similar communication conditions. However, at the strategic level, the foundation should still be to improve military force and strengthen defenses.

The content of this report, within the scope of confidentiality, was also disclosed to Wang Feng, Wang Keke, and Mimi (relayed by Wang Keke).

Wang Keke breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't want to be dragged off to "have heart-to-hearts" with all sorts of strange monsters all day long.

(Internal OS): "Good thing it's just an individual case, otherwise wouldn't I be busy to death in the future?"

Lin Mo's reaction was much more direct.

(Internal OS): "After all that, it turns out this King and Keke are one of a kind! Hmph, those experts have some sense after all. Still, it's good that it can't be promoted on a large scale, so I don't have every Tom, Dick, and Harry wanting to 'communicate' with this King and delaying my important hunting business!"

He flicked his tail, casting this little episode to the back of his mind. The monkey troop problem had been solved in an unexpected way; although it was frustrating, it had saved time and effort. His gaze turned once again to the next target on the "menu" provided by Outpost 04—the massive pack of dogs in the Western City Ruins, which possessed three War General rank leaders.

(Internal OS): "With dogs... there shouldn't be anything to talk about, right? After all, they haven't spent time in a zoo like the monkeys, so their cognition is more 'pure.' Hmm, it seems the next stop will be a good place to stretch my muscles!"

The journey of the Patrol Hunting Squad, after experiencing an incredible "diplomatic incident," was finally set to return to what Lin Mo was most familiar with and what he looked forward to most—pure combat and devouring.
