Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 662 Monster Infertility? Find Dr. Cheng!
【Humanoid Slug MAX: Template Skill, Composite Skill. Compared to hunters, monster riders, who have a deeper bond with monsters, can always find still-active dragon eggs in some intact or abandoned nests. And no matter how perfectly the monster's nest is hidden, you can always find the corresponding location with your egg-stealing instinct, which is comparable to that of a slug.

When you activate your mental scan, your strong egg-finding instinct will automatically mark the locations of hidden monster lairs and dragon eggs in the surrounding area.

You can forcibly retrieve one active, hatchable dragon egg from any monster lair. This dragon egg will be based on the bloodline of the original lair owner and will randomly possess at least one additional trait. If you are not satisfied with the current dragon egg, you can refresh it by putting the dragon egg back into the lair and re-retrieve it. You can refresh each lair a maximum of 3 times. You can refresh the lair egg spawning cooldown by completing Hunter Guild quests and re-entering and exiting the current area.

While holding a "Bond Stone", you can put the dragon eggs you find into an empty companion slot. You can only hold a maximum of 6 companions and dragon eggs at the same time. At the same time, you can still manually move a maximum of 1 dragon egg.

You can send the dragon egg to the safe zone set up by the Hunter's Guild in this area to receive additional rewards from the guild, such as rewards, reputation, etc., including but not limited to Chosen Coins, attribute points, skill points, etc.; or after stealing the egg, you can remain in a non-combat safe state for at least 10 minutes and then use the Void Warehouse feature to submit it to the "Mars Mothership Battle Fortress" of "The Sun Legion" for research or hatching.

When stealing eggs, you will be able to better conceal your presence, significantly reducing the chances of being detected by the nest owner and individuals that feed on dragon eggs.

[Additional comment: Actually, if you could communicate with monsters and dragons, you could try becoming a specialist in urology and gynecology, curing monster infertility.]

The "Humanoid Slug MAX" skill that Cheng Tian currently possesses in this Monster Knight template is, to put it bluntly, a more powerful version of the "Slug Mini" skill that Azure Star possesses, with comprehensive enhancements.

Not only does it allow Cheng Tian to automatically mark the surrounding dragon nests and dragon eggs, but it also greatly enhances transportation capabilities.

Previously, Cheng Tian could only laboriously transport small amounts of eggs bit by bit, but now, theoretically, he can transport up to 7 eggs at a time!
Since the current world is dominated by Monster Hunter, there are no safe zones set up in the space. However, as the leader of a faction with its own independent camp, and a flying laboratory that started by researching dinosaurs, Cheng Tian can directly send the egg back to his own camp for research and incubation.

But this additional comment suddenly reminded Cheng.

In the Monster Hunter world, the survival rate of wild dragon monsters' eggs is actually not high. Similar to birds, they also need to lay multiple eggs at once to indirectly increase the hatching and survival rate of their offspring.

Sometimes, when threatened by external enemies or affected by the migration of ancient dragons, the eggs in the dragon's nest have to be abandoned. In addition to external factors, the dragon itself may also experience difficulty in reproducing.

But Cheng Tian, ​​this humanoid sassy bird, doesn't care about this or that. As long as you have a nest, even if there's only a broken eggshell inside, Cheng Tian can still forcefully pull out the dragon egg offspring that has a direct bloodline connection with the original owner of the nest!

Infertility! Please see Dr. Cheng!

In other words, if Cheng Tian doesn't steal eggs, but simply walks around the map, digs eggs from the nests and puts them back, it's equivalent to artificially promoting the overall breeding and survival rate of wild dragon beasts.

Well, whether this counts as damaging the ecosystem is another matter.

On the other hand, it's probably not easy or common for a wild monster group to produce an individual with the same intelligence as Cheng Tian's Crimson Deviljho, capable of understanding human intentions. Once they see Cheng Tian stealing eggs, the thought of "killing the egg thief" will likely still prevail.

"...This person's behavior is very un-hunter-like, but how come he's so familiar with the Ancient Forest? He doesn't seem like a complete newbie who just landed on the New World at all!" The Grand Master, who was secretly tracking the enemy with his dog while his entire body was already exposed to Cheng Tian's scan, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Not long ago, Cheng Tian demonstrated the possibility of a balanced faction at the stronghold. However, just as the two leaders of the Redemption faction and the Sacrifice faction were eager to learn more about this, Cheng Tian very capriciously left the stronghold and headed straight for the forest.

"I do want to establish the Equilibrium Sect, but failure won't affect me much. There are plenty of interesting things in the New World, and I don't want to be tied down by this."

Want to find a new balance of redemption and sacrifice through me? Sure, but you'll need to show sincerity first.

Yes, it was Cheng who triggered the relevant side quest, but in terms of supply and demand, it was actually the Hunter's Guild that was in a hurry, not Cheng Tian.

If he can't complete the side quest, the worst that can happen is that he can't summon the battle fortress and can't try to complete the special hunt to capture the Lavasioth. It doesn't have much of an impact on Cheng Tian himself.

If hunters and mages cannot find a new balance, then neither redemption nor sacrifice can maintain the status quo; the former prolongs death, while the latter involves cutting off flesh and separating.

If Cheng Tian had never shown the way of balance before, it would be one thing, but now that they know there is a possibility of a breakthrough, neither the Grand Master nor Merlin can ignore it.

Since they are the ones in a hurry, Cheng Tian can naturally use this opportunity to control them.

Although Cheng Tian is listed as a member of the fifth cohort, he is not one of their subordinates. In fact, if it weren't for the rules of the instance that prevented Cheng Tian's battle fortress from being deployed normally, he would never have appeared in this capacity.

He will inevitably become the leader of a third force independent of the guild.

Therefore, the methods used against ordinary players are ineffective against Cheng. To get him to actually make a move, a much greater price must be paid.

Given this situation, the Grand Master and Merlin, two faction leaders who were already at odds, chose to follow Cheng Tian and protect him when he impulsively ran away.

Incidentally, observe the choices Cheng Tian makes when encountering demonized creatures, and whether Cheng Tian's ability system can truly avoid the price of redemption and sacrifice.

Sure enough, Cheng Tian and his group had just encountered a poisonous demon bird outside an abandoned dragon's nest—

However, this poisonous bird had a terrifyingly human face on its head!
