Chapter 375 The Big Map and Fast Travel

A projection suddenly appeared in front of Cheng, who had contacted the bald butcher's henchmen through paid hiring and was trying to buy maps from the dragon hunters through his channels.

This is a built-in function of the lab desk, and the image projected is of Mina, the dark-skinned archer who temporarily filled in as a customer service girl due to a shortage of manpower.

"Captain Orange... there's a huge steel bird that landed near the lab. A man with a rooster-like head who calls himself Shrews came out and said he wants to see our supervisor."

Perhaps she was still not used to the new way of addressing Cheng Tian, ​​or perhaps she simply didn't like talking to men, Mina kept a serious expression on her face, but she still managed to get things done.

"Sliced ​​rice? Oh, I see~ I know."

Upon hearing the name, Cheng Tian's mind didn't quite register it at first, since the Japanese-accented English that Mina was mimicking was indeed quite abstract. However, after processing it in his mind, Cheng Tian knew who the other party was and decided to give her a good beating.

The sturdy main door of the laboratory, equipped with a dinosaur-proof gate, slowly opened, but the person outside remained motionless, continuing to stand there as punishment.

As a powerful henchman under Dr. Fessenden and the leader of this operation, he has a standard rooster-like hairstyle and a "Slice" Slash with a boomerang-shaped blade attached to his waist. In fact, he is the BOSS unit in the original game who led his subordinates to attack Jack's repair shop.

However, due to the dramatic change in social atmosphere, and with Jack no longer provoking Fessenden, the plot of taking over the auto repair shop did not occur. As Fessenden's powerful henchman, he did not choose to undergo full genetic modification after experiencing defeat. Currently, he has only undergone partial enhancement and is still considered human.

As the social status of the Fesenden Institute soared, Slash also became a figurehead, rising to a position of pride and arrogance amidst the flattery of countless colleagues. He also boasted a considerable number of solid dragon-hunting achievements, which made his rooster-like hair stand up even more proudly.

However, at this moment, his rooster-like hairstyle, which had been coated with an unknown amount of hairspray, seemed to be conforming to its owner's mood, tilting to one side and making him look extremely listless.

The arrogance in Srace's eyes vanished without a trace as the shadow of a light blue humanoid mech fell upon him.

What the hell is that? A mecha? Is this for real? What happened to the investigation into the tamed Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Shredder was confident he could slice through the flesh of the bloodline-mutated dragon beast with his darts, but faced with such a steel creation... what exactly is this Innovation Research Institute for?!
Led by two subordinates who, even after their businesses were officially established, still couldn't completely shake off their bandit-like air, the mohawk-haired man, somewhat dazed, entered the laboratory building under the guidance of the autonomous combat mech "Blind Engineer," and then, guided by the black-skinned demon breaker (Mina), who also served as a greeter, entered the reception room.

In the past, upon seeing a dark-skinned man, they would have certainly glared at him, smirked, or even attacked him. However, after witnessing the Brodia's completely unfaked movement, the three former thugs now resembled obedient schoolchildren, sitting down in a tense manner, not daring to utter a word.

Soon, Cheng Tian arrived. Seeing the visitor's restrained demeanor, he knew his intimidation had been successful.

"I am the head of the research institute, just call me Orange."

"Nice to meet you! My name is Srace, and I am the security chief at the Fesenden Institute."

Choosing to speak like a rooster in front of Cheng Tian saved Fesenden from further embarrassment.

"Everyone's time is precious, so let's get straight to the point. The purpose of your visit to our company is..."

Upon hearing Cheng Tian's question, a series of thoughts flashed through the rooster-haired man's mind, finally settling on the mecha. He then resignedly told the truth.

In short, Dr. Fessenden, the most authoritative figure in the industry, believes that Tyrannosaurus Rex, the dominant land predator, is still a powerful creature that humans cannot tame at this stage. Cheng Tian, ​​who claims to have tamed Tyrannosaurus Rex, is the one who is the one who exposes this falsehood.

Good heavens, he didn't see the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but was so shocked by the mecha that he was completely lost. Now, even the guy with the mohawk doesn't know what to do. However, he also said that if Cheng Tian is willing to communicate with Fesenden, he can provide a special route.

Cheng Tian didn't answer immediately. Instead, he thought to himself that Fesenden was indeed a master in dinosaur genetics. His judgment was absolutely correct; Tyrannosaurus Rex was simply impossible to tame normally. His own dragon was a bridle-bound fighting mount, not a tamed creature in the conventional sense. If he were to create another Tyrannosaurus Rex, the only possibility for Cheng Tian to "tame" it would be to kill it again and risk losing it!

"...Do you have a new world map?"

However, just as the man with the rooster-like hairstyle was waiting for an answer, Cheng Tian suddenly asked this question.

"some."

The rooster with the comb-like head nodded.

Could you send me one?

Cheng Tian wanted to get something for free!

"If it doesn't include information on dinosaur distribution, then yes."

You can decide what to do with this rooster-like head.

And just like that, Cheng Tian actually managed to get his hands on the new world map of "Adventurers' Dinosaur New Century". As a return gift, Cheng Tian gave Rooster Head the green bone dart "Flying Bone", which had been eliminated by Utan and dropped when Metal Slug killed the Yeti.

Don't underestimate this bone club just because it's an obsolete item. In the hands of Slime, who is skilled at using boomerangs, it's a perfect tool to suit his tastes.

It may not be outstanding, but it is special enough. Sometimes, what you want in a gift is that specialness.

The rooster's comb head is visibly satisfactory, and the decision has been made to re-polish the flying bone into a bone blade.

After acquiring the new map, Cheng Tian and Eileen simultaneously received such a spatial notification.

[You have obtained the newly redrawn world map of "Adventurers' New Dinosaur Era". The world map is now unlocked, and you can actively travel to other marked areas.]

[The current instance has been detected to be exclusive to you and your party members.]

You can now "fast travel" to other areas outside of combat using NPC forces or your own air vehicles. This movement will consume instance quest time and restore your stamina based on the time consumed.

Fast travel will not affect your stay time in the Chosen Space.

After getting his hands on the map, Cheng Tian immediately set his sights on the location of Java Island in Indonesia, which has a tropical rainforest climate.

If I remember correctly, there are over a hundred volcanoes there, more than thirty of which are active.
