Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 374 The Dinosaur Protection Association has no future!

The UFO flew away and quickly disappeared into the horizon, while Cheng Tian, ​​who was on the ground and could only watch all of this happen, had a hint of regret on his face.

Unfortunately, after the UFO completed capture and displayed a new mission prompt, the Orange disappeared from Cheng Tian's vehicle matrix list. Otherwise, he might have already used the "matrix jump" effect to forcibly board the UFO by now.

However, if the goal is to destroy the enemy's aircraft from the inside, parachuting without a parachute is a minor issue; the "loot" option in the mission rewards might become unusable.

"...Did you plan this in advance?"

Because of their team composition, Eileen, who had also received the mission trigger notification, approached Cheng with a suspicious look.

She was initially annoyed that she hadn't been able to stop Cheng Tian's collection from being taken away, but when the task notification appeared on her face, she couldn't help but start to wonder if Cheng Tian had orchestrated the whole thing.

"It wasn't that deliberate."

Mr. Cheng looked noncommittal.

Admittedly, Cheng Tian did set the target of the mission on aliens, but their great interest in mechs was not within his prior consideration. He was still thinking about how to find aliens when they came out on their own to take the bait.

"Mysterious."

Eileen rolled her eyes at Cheng Tian and didn't press the matter further.

There's a feeling that no matter what happens to Cheng Tian, ​​there's no need to trace the root cause, or even think too much about it. Thinking too much would only make him uncomfortable.

If we really keep pursuing this relentlessly, the laboratory we're currently in will be the biggest problem.

Building skills do exist for players, and there are quite a few items that can be used, but she has never actually seen anyone use them in dungeons...

After casually adjusting the current list of the tank matrix, Cheng Tian began to think about how to find the alien base.

Looking at the remaining time for the dungeon mission on the panel, there were still a little over 13 days left. This time was linked to Cheng Tian's space stay duration. In other words, the alien base could definitely be found within 13 days.

In that case, the possibility of it being the original levels of Dinosaur King and Adventure Island 3 is quite high.

Three connected volcanoes

Cheng Tian wrote this condition on the whiteboard.

In MapleStory 3, the alien spaceship is hidden in a location with three volcanoes, and the surrounding terrain and vegetation are more like a tropical rainforest climate.

However, when writing "tropical rainforest climate zone", he added "catastrophic climate" and a question mark after it.

The Cataclysmic Climate entry in the Dinosaur King dungeon descriptions could lead to sudden climate changes at any time and place. In other words, the description of "Tropical Rainforest Climate" is likely inaccurate. The only accurate description might be the Tri-volcano.

"A new world map is needed."

Cheng Tian kept tapping the whiteboard with his ballpoint pen, leaving behind small black dots.

Due to the impact of the cataclysm, many land areas have been submerged, and many places have only retained their original names, but their actual territories have disappeared. Moreover, the wild areas have become extremely dangerous due to the presence of super-powered dinosaurs. While there may be no forces capable of re-recording the Earth's continental plates after the cataclysm, they are certainly extremely rare.

Cheng Tian quickly wrote down the "Dinosaur Protection Association" and the "Fesenden Research Institute." Although the former was a bit of a nutcase, in order to protect dinosaurs at any time, it would inevitably contain some records of areas where the distribution of dinosaurs could be determined.

The latter, as the current industry leader and a global collector of dinosaur carcasses, is also highly likely to possess new maps.

Of course, dragon hunters are also a good group. Although Cheng Tian still wouldn't easily sign contracts for his laboratory with them, using their channels to find maps is obviously a viable method.

Coincidentally, the dragon hunters in the swamp jungle were currently discussing the appearance of a UFO and the theft of one of Cheng Tian's mechs. Many of them were excited and also had the idea of ​​searching for the UFO.

Although it's unknown whether the UFO contains humans or aliens, if we can find the UFO, we'll likely find the stolen mecha as well.

Whether you use it yourself or sell it to Hammond Innovation Lab, it will be a good option.

Those who originally chose to become dragon hunters for the money naturally wouldn't mind temporarily switching to treasure hunters for the same reason.

Of course, those who started to have designs on this were limited to those with outstanding abilities, great ambitions, and an unwillingness to be subordinate to others. Meanwhile, the dragon hunters and merchants who were just trying to make a living continued to do what they were doing.

...Among them was Jack Trick, a member of the original Dinosaur Protection Association, who was the least memorable protagonist in Cinnamon & Dinosaur.

Cheng Tian has a truly profound understanding of games, especially his ability to grasp details that others overlook.

Based solely on a heavily modified old Cadillac, he deduced that the owner, Jack, might be nearby, and he was right. Jack was indeed there, and he witnessed everything firsthand, from the establishment of the laboratory to the emergence of the Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex, the overwhelming combat power of the mechs, and the plundering by the UFOs.

From the perspective of real-world players, Jack has a very low presence. His attack power is not as strong as the burly guy in the team, his recognizability is not as good as the yellow-hatted guy in the team, and his sex appeal cannot be compared with the only female teammate. However, he has one thing that his other old teammates cannot match.

That is, he owns a huge car repair shop!

Even in the original storyline, his car repair shop appeared as an entire level, and the movable backgrounds revealed that Jack's car wash was no ordinary business.

So while others were forced to go underground due to their sensitive identities, Jack was able to maintain his identity as the owner of the auto repair shop and continue to make more deals with the growing dragon hunter team.

Unlike the others, Jack's stance has now shifted towards neutrality. To be precise, Jack was initially bewildered by the fiery breath of the Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex and, after reading Fesenden's report, realized that the dinosaur groups that had gained superpowers had become ecological enemies of humanity.

The growing dragon hunter community has led to a surge in demand for vehicles and repairs, which has actually boosted Jack's business.

However, Jack's actions, which clearly involved aiding the enemy, caused him to become estranged from his former close teammates, especially Hannah, who almost completely severed ties with him.

This situation also left Jack somewhat confused.

But the appearance of the mech was like a ray of light shining on his face. His deep-seated, irrepressible love for vehicles made him have a stronger need to search for it than anyone else present.

But he was equally clueless about how to find the UFO's whereabouts, and he didn't know if he could collaborate with the Hammond Innovation Lab.

"Tsk~ It's Fesenden, his nose is really sharp."

Upon hearing the sound of the propellers, Jack looked up and saw a helicopter bearing the logo of the Fesenden Institute slowly approaching, its target clearly the laboratory.

A sense of crisis welled up in Jack's heart.
