"Human beings, cooperation with nature? How interesting."
"Everyone, I'm back, meow!" Lucao excitedly entered a dormitory converted from a cabin.
"It's Lucao who's back, meow!"
"You've been gone for a long time, meow!"
"Where did you go on this adventure, meow?"
Suddenly, white cats, black cats, Siamese cats, orange cats and all kinds of cats came over happily, playing with Lucao out of curiosity and surprise.
Outside the door, Su Yi saw this scene and sighed slightly in his heart.
Lucao must have missed them a lot since she had been away from his friends for so long in order to go on adventures with him.
"Meow! Let me introduce you to my friend meow! This is Su Yi meow! He's very kind to me, and we've been to a lot of great places meow!"
Lu Cao turned around and happily introduced Su Yi to her friends.
"Hello meow!"
Maomao immediately greeted Su Yi lively.
Su Yi smiled and squatted down, responding to the enthusiasm of the Elu cats: "Hello."
"I brought you gifts, meow." Lucao distributed the "friend pendants" she made of bones and minerals to her friends.
Su Yi opened his backpack, took out bags of snacks, and said with a smile: "Lucao's friends are my friends."
"It's a delicious snack, meow." Seeing that her friends were a little confused about the snacks in strange packaging, Lu Cao took the initiative to open the package and shared the snacks with the cats.
"It's delicious, meow!"
"Lulucao's friends are our friends, nya!"
Soon, Su Yi became friends with the cats and was happily surrounded by them.
Now that we can move around in the base, Lucao can play with friends more often, and the cat is very happy.
Su Yi and Lu Cao then came to the upper level of the stronghold.
Passing by the hunters and members of the survey team coming and going, Su Yi came to the dining area while admiring the scenery of the Star Stronghold.
"After arriving at the stronghold, this is still the place I want to come most!" Su Yi sighed.
The dining area of the Star Stronghold, the Weapons and Mountain Cat Pavilion, and the open-air cooking area opened by the Grand Leader, Felynx.
It is said that he had the idea of retiring because his sword was broken in a battle with a monster. The captain's cat then became the head chef here.
Walking into the dining area, the hunters who started their day's work began to eat here.
A sturdy and tall one-eyed Felyn used a dagger as a kitchen knife, cutting the meat quickly and roasting it on a huge stone grill.
Behind the busy cooking Felynx, a huge stone furnace was roasting various meat products.
Above the dining area, a huge net bag serves as a ceiling, with various dried meats, dried fish, sausages, fruits, vegetables and other ingredients hung on it.
"Uh, I don't seem to have the currency here." Su Yi smelled the fragrance and couldn't wait to taste the cat food in the Star Stronghold, but found that he didn't have the currency of this world.
"I still have some meow here." Lu Cao dug into his pocket and took out some currency.
"Then let's have a big meal, and then we can sell some of the materials and we'll have money." Su Yi said. They collected a lot of ores and bones.
"Meow~" Lucao came to the platform and waved to greet the cats on it.
"New face, is he a member of the fifth group?" The head chef looked at Su Yi and said, his voice several degrees lower than that of an ordinary Felynx.
"I guess so." Su Yi didn't explain too much.
"A hunter cannot go hungry, let's order some food." The head chef nodded, and a cooking cat beside him handed over a menu.
"Wow!" Su Yi took it and took a look, seeing all kinds of ingredients listed on it.
Some of these should be specialty ingredients from the New World. It seems that many things from the New World have been developed in the past few decades.
"Hmm." Su Yi looked at and ordered a few dishes, both meat and vegetarian, as well as the alcohol that he had always been curious about.
"Is it really okay to order this much?" The head chef said in surprise when looking at the dishes Su Yi ordered.
"Well, I don't eat much." Su Yi was embarrassed. The dishes he ordered were twice the portions of an adult male.
I thought that after running around in the New World for so long, his appetite must have increased a lot, but I didn't expect that compared with the hunters, his appetite is still considered small?
"Hunter, please eat more." The head chef quickly brought the food over.
Being in bad condition refers to my physical condition. I’ve been too tired recently.
By the way, some friends said that the [Gift] function is not very good.
Actually, my thought is, why can’t we make some changes to the investigation team?
Of course, it is not about giving away the companion beasts related to the protagonist to anyone else, but to allow hunters to cooperate with the monsters. The premise of the gift is to get the protagonist's consent.
One golden finger can only change one person, which is too narrow-minded.
The blue star is meant to shine upon everyone who moves forward.

Chapter 125: Timely Help from the Investigation Team (4000 words)
The hot food was quickly served, including delicious barbecue, fruits and vegetables with the most natural flavor, and a glass of mellow wine.
The man and the cat began to eat with relish.
Su Yi tasted it and compared it with what he had made in his mind.
"As expected of the chef, the food is full of wildness and rough flavor."
Looking at Su Yi who was tasting the food carefully, the head chef tilted his head in confusion. Why was this hunter eating so politely?
Just when Su Yi had almost finished eating, Brother Yangguang came over.
"Hey! I remember your name is Su Yi, a bit of a strange name."
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Aiden, and I'm a member of the fifth group recommendation group. The commander-in-chief asked me to invite you over now." Brother Yangguang said with a smile.
"Here we are." Su Yi and Lu Cao quickly finished the last bit of food and followed Sunshine Brother Aiden to the command center.
When he arrived at the headquarters, Su Yi found that several important figures from the New World Investigation Team had arrived.
Except for the Grand Commander and the Dragon Hunter who are often away and whose whereabouts are unknown.
The commander-in-chief, the master of the wilderness, the master of swordsmanship, the captain of the investigation team, the captain of the technical team, the captain of the research team, the leader of the second group, the director of the Ecological Research Institute, and other important figures gathered together.
"So many people?" Su Yi was surprised. Why did it feel like a trial in court?
"Don't be nervous, because after hearing the commander-in-chief describe your techniques, these people are curious and want to see them for themselves." Master Yuanye said with a smile.
"In that case, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Su Yi, and I come from a distant and wonderful place (world)." Su Yi took out a Poké Ball and said with a smile.
To people in both the Monster Hunter world and the Pokémon world, he is a person from another world.
"In that place, there are creatures called Pokémon, which have all kinds of strange forms and abilities."
"Some humans and Pokémon work together, some live together, and some even consider each other as family."
“Although there may be occasional friction between humans and wild Pokémon, more humans and Pokémon are able to communicate, understand each other, and even work together for the same goal.”
"And some people become trainers. They cultivate and train Pokémon to make them stronger, and then take on various challenges."
At this point, everyone present showed surprised expressions.
Although they were able to tame some small and medium-sized monsters, it was more of a form of servitude. It was difficult to imagine mutual understanding or even treating them as family members.
"Does such a place really exist?" said the director of the Ecological Research Institute, who is familiar with the ecology of various monsters, in disbelief.
Many monsters do not have friendly relations even with members of the same species, let alone humans and other creatures.
It is simply incredible that humans and other creatures can cooperate, communicate, live and coexist peacefully with each other.
"Training monster-like creatures, trainers?" The commander-in-chief caught the key words and murmured in a low voice.
"Of course there are places like that."
"And Pokémon doesn't refer to a certain kind of creature."
"But they are magical creatures that exist in the sky, sea, forest, desert, magma, and even above the sky. There are hundreds and thousands of them in various shapes." Su Yi said with a smile.
"What kind of creature is that? Is it like a monster?" Aiden asked curiously.
"There are similarities, you have also seen it, this is what I will introduce next. Come out, Steelix!" Su Yi threw out the Poké Ball.
A flash of light passed by, and a steel crow in black armor cried out, then flew steadily in the air, looking at everyone.
"It popped out of a little ball!"
"It's a creature I've never seen before!"
Everyone present, except Master Harajuku and Aiden who had seen it before, was extremely surprised at the sudden appearance of Steelix and the Poké Ball containing Steelix.
The second-term members who are mainly engaged in technical aspects are particularly concerned about Poké Balls.
"This is a Pokémon called Steelix. Although it is not as large and strong as a large monster, it can use attributes and energy to attack."
Su Yi pointed to the sea outside the headquarters and said, "Steel Armored Crow, use Storm on that sea!"
"Gaa!" The Steel Crow's wings glowed, and then flapped vigorously one after another.
In an instant, a strong wind suddenly arose, and the fierce storm hit the sea surface, immediately stirring up turbulent waves. For a moment, the waves were surging and the wind was howling.
"This attack reminds me of the Steel Dragon."
"Although it is far inferior to the ancient dragon, it is still very amazing. Some large monsters with medium or low strength cannot perform such an attack."
"Is there such a power hidden in such a small body?"
Everyone was talking about it. You know, these special and powerful abilities are often the privilege of large monsters.
The commander-in-chief said in amazement: "Such combat power is already very good."
Not to mention confronting large monsters head-on, simply assisting the hunter in battle can make hunting a lot easier.
"It's just one of the many abilities that Pokémon have."
"In addition to this, they also have other unique abilities. Come out, Chansey." Su Yi released the Pokémon again.
