Chapter 24: It Turns Out to Be a Little Gluttonous Cat, and the Clever Use of a Flashlight
Emotions are a weakness.
Master Pro's teachings flashed through my mind.
Whether it's positive or negative emotions, this can be used as a starting point.
He calmed his emotions and gradually conveyed his thoughts to the other person.
Calm and benevolent.
The Odo Satellite Dragon's eyes gradually changed, and its vigilance slowly dissipated.
It suddenly realized that the two-legged creature in front of it didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
A moment later, it cautiously peeked half its head out from behind the boulder.
Two large, golden eyes remained fixed on the flashlight in Lance's hand.
Lance noticed its gaze and slowly opened his eyes.
Then, he gently shone the flashlight.
The vertical pupils of the Odo Satellite Dragon contracted instantly.
My gaze was completely drawn to it, and both of my ears perked up slightly.
It looks just like a stray cat that's seen a cat treat; all it's missing is a meow.
Lance smiled and tossed the flashlight light around his neck.
At the same time, he continued to transmit his thoughts through the Force.
exchange.
Odo Satellite Dragon hesitated noticeably.
Its face even showed a very human-like conflicted expression, as if it was seriously weighing the pros and cons.
Its tail swayed slowly, raising a cloud of dust behind it.
After all, the energy difference between the two is too great.
In its not-so-bright little brain, this was clearly a losing proposition.
After a while.
It growled and shook its head.
Refused.
"Ugh."
Lance raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
"I didn't expect this guy to be so smart; he actually knows how to do accounting."
That's roughly equivalent to one-third of the Clearance King.
He turned his head to look at the hunter:
Give me your flashlight.
The hunter opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
In the end, he silently handed over the flashlight.
Lance waved the two flashlights in his hands and communicated with the Odo satellite dragon again through the Force.
This time, it clearly wavered.
Suddenly, it leaped onto the boulder and paced back and forth on it.
Its tail kept swishing, as if it was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Finally, it let out a low growl.
This can be considered as agreeing to the deal.
Lance's lips curled up slightly.
In a daze, he remembered the kitten he had raised in his past life.
He tossed it out, and the two flashlights traced an arc in the air.
The Odo satellite dragon opened its mouth wide and caught it precisely.
next moment.
The flashlight held in its mouth crackled and emitted streaks of electricity.
At the same time, a faint green light surged from its body, flashing rapidly from its head to the tip of its tail.
Its golden pupils trembled, its tail swayed, and it let out a low growl.
Then, it turned and leaped, its massive body disappearing into the depths of the mist in the blink of an eye.
Lance watched its departing figure and couldn't help but chuckle.
Just now, he clearly sensed the emotional changes in the Odo satellite dragon.
Excitement, satisfaction, and a touch of pride.
This guy is not only like a greedy cat, but also has some dog-like traits.
"Is it a combination of a cat and a dog...?"
He stroked his chin, muttering to himself.
The hunter put the blaster back into its holster and walked over to pick up the capacitor from the ground:
"Were you negotiating with it just now?"
He paused, then added:
"And they actually managed to reach an agreement."
Based on his approach, he would probably first choose to shoot and repel the Odo satellite dragon, and then forcibly take back the capacitor.
Klance, however, managed to get the items back using only two cheap flashlights.
"I told you, it meant no harm."
If a fight can be avoided, then try not to provoke a conflict.
These are words that Master Yoda personally taught Lance when he was a young apprentice.
Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at the hunter:
"By the way, what were you trying to say just now?"
The hunter patted the dust off the capacitor:
"We're out of tactical flashlights; every one we lose is one less we have."
Lance waved his hand and spoke with great pride:
"Just buy another one."
The hunter was slightly taken aback.
Why does this sound so familiar?
......
The thick fog did not cause the two to lose their way.
Lance is guided by the Force.
Hunters can sense electromagnetic signals, which is like a human compass, making it impossible for them to get lost.
A dozen minutes later, the two returned to the spacecraft safely.
The location where the spaceship made an emergency landing was probably within the territory of that Odo satellite dragon.
Along the way, the two encountered no other creatures besides it.
Several lights illuminated the spacecraft, and Echo could be seen outside repairing the wiring.
Technicians climbed to the top of the spacecraft and used welding torches to repair the damaged areas.
Blinding white sparks flashed continuously.
He was the first to spot the two, and looked up to ask:
"Did you receive the capacitors?"
Hearing the echo, he turned around and looked.
The hunter shoved the capacitor directly into Echo's hand:
"With Lance there, the process went very smoothly."
"How's the spaceship repair going?"
The technician had just finished the last solder joint and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The situation is more serious than expected."
"Several key electronic components have been completely damaged and cannot be repaired."
The hunter frowned and asked in a deep voice:
"Can it still take off?"
The technician leaped from the top of the spaceship and landed steadily.
"It is not recommended to do this before replacing the parts."
Their expressions immediately turned serious.
Odo Satellite has neither a repair shop nor any intelligent life.
Now we can only hope to get in touch with support.
Lance asked:
"Is the communicator fixed?"
Bad news followed one after another.
The technician shook his head slightly:
"The core components were burned by lightning and are now completely unusable."
The damaged capacitor was removed and quickly replaced with a spare.
"At least the life support system is back in operation."
As soon as the words were spoken, the lights inside the spaceship turned on, and various electronic instruments began to operate.
"That's good news."
"At least for the time being, we are not in any danger to our lives."
Lance had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was immediately doused with cold water.
The technician adjusted his glasses, his tone remaining calm:
"That would only last for seven rotation days."
"But before that, we'll probably run out of food and water."
The group fell silent.
Just then, Lance suddenly turned his head and looked into the depths of the thick fog.
In his Force perception, he "saw" the Odo satellite dragon again.
There's a large piece of freeze-dried food here; it certainly won't let it go.
The hunter, sensing something amiss as well, whispered:
"That beast is back again."
The technician's eyes lit up, and an idea flashed through his mind.
He quickly took out his data analyzer and rapidly reviewed the information:
"It is recorded here that the Odo Satellite Dragon likes to absorb energy from electronic components."
"Technician, we already know that."
"Echo, let me finish."
The technician adjusted his glasses and continued:
"This creature likes to bring 'food' back to its cave."
As he said this, a hint of excitement crept into his voice:
"What I mean is..."
"Perhaps the parts we need will be found inside its cave."
Upon hearing this, the group all looked at the technician.
He then nodded silently.
No wonder he's a high-IQ genius; his mind works incredibly fast.
The echo paused for a moment:
"If that's the case, we need a bait."
"Follow it to find the cave's location."
Lance waved his hand, his tone relaxed:
"No need for that."
"Just let it take us there."
He turned his head to look at the technician and the echo:
"By the way, do you have any flashlights here?"
