Job Overview: The local university is doing an environmental survey in the area and would like you to go out and gather notes on the wildlife and plant life. Take the provided journal and take notes for the university about what you find outside of the city. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded!
Fēng had recently arrived in Heliohapt and had decided to stay for a while instead of just resupplying and moving on. It was because of this that he started doing odd jobs around the city. His newest one was a request from the local university to do a survey on the environment in the area and soon he found himself walking away from the university with a notebook in hand towards the city’s exit. It didn’t take long for him to exit the city and to start searching to find a suitable area to begin his survey. After a bit walking he finally found a place he deemed acceptable.
He took notes on a few of the plants but soon his interest was switched to a small lizard. It was 8 inches in length, including the short tail it had. He observed the lizard for a while and started describing it in his notebook. “The Sandfish is 8 inches in length, with a tapered body covered with smooth, shiny scales, and its legs are short and sturdy with long, flattened and fringed feet. The tail is short, tapering to a fine point,the coloration is yellow-caramel with brown-black cross bands.” As he was writhing this he saw the small lizard panic for a minute before borrowing in the sand.
Right before he started wondering if he was at fault for the lizard’s behavior his eyes caught an amazing sight. It was a small, stocky cat with short legs and a relatively long tail. Its fur was pale sandy ocherous in color and had both spots and stripes with two blackish bars on the limbs, and the tail had a black tip with three dark rings as markings. The cat was simply beautiful in his eyes and after writhing everything about it in his journal he tried to approach it.
He was surprised that when he started slowly walking towards the cat, it didn’t immediately run away but just watched him curiously instead. Hope was starting to rise in him, had he finally found one of the few rare felines that weren’t afraid of him. He was getting ecstatic he was almost in petting distance and all he had to do was stretch his arm and suddenly as he was doing that a loud voice echoed behind him, scaring the desert cat away.“Well boys look what we have here, a puny scholar. Give us everything you have and we won’t hurt you too much.”
The loud man behind Fēng had scarred the cat away, and for that he was going to break the bastard. With that in though Fēng rose to his full height and removed the hood of his cloak showing his red hair to the men. As he turned around he saw that they had paled in realization of what he was and what they’ve done but it was too late now, he was going to beat the shit out of them. First he charged the bandit closes to him and launched a knee at his side, once the knee connected a loud crunch was heard but Fēng paid it no mind and followed with a devastating elbow hit to the temple. The man fell to the ground like stingless puppet allowing Xiang to move to the other two guys. After quickly taking care of them he decided that he had gathered enough information about the area and so he started making his way slowly towards the city occasionally taking some notes. Once he reached the university he submitted his note and although the researchers were pleased with his findings they also scolded him a little for taking so many notes on the stray cats in the city.
