It's the 21st century, how come there are still people selling dragon eggs?

Chapter 13: The baby dragon poops, then suddenly realizes a new skill.

Upon hearing this, and seeing Yu Muyao's anxious expression and the way she handed over the bank card, Yu Xiao fell silent for a moment.

Perhaps, in Mu Yao's heart, she felt more like she was being taken away for interrogation?

"But I can't bring myself to hate it..."

Yu Xiao lowered his head and sighed deeply.

I thought about it.

"Auntie, what are you thinking? I told you I'm not scamming anyone, I really am selling dragon eggs!"

Yu Xiao raised his head and spoke earnestly.

"?"

Hearing Yu Xiao's words and seeing his determined expression, Yu Muyao was stunned.

What does it mean to say that it's not a scam but a genuine sale of dragon eggs?

Selling dragon eggs is the same as committing fraud, isn't it?

Yu Muyao was puzzled.

But since Yu Xiao said that, and she also believed him.

"Then your aunt will save this money for you, in case you ever need it urgently in the future."

Yu Muyao nodded as she took back the bank card.

He walked toward his office.

"Your dad took good care of me and protected me since I was little. Now that he's gone, I, as your aunt, will be your support."

"I don't care what you want to do, but remember, never get involved in fraud. That's illegal, and you can't get involved with it."

Yu Muyao spoke without turning her head.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao responded with a smirk.

The first person I sold dragon eggs to was the government... Do you think I'm committing fraud?

Yu Muyao sat back down in her office chair.

"What did the police from the Public Security Bureau want with you this morning?"

"What exactly happened? Why are you being contacted by the Public Security Bureau for something other than fraud?"

Yu Muyao looked at Yu Xiao and raised her eyebrows.

"this……"

Yu Xiao hesitated for a moment.

...

Yu Muyao didn't quite believe Yu Xiao's explanation.

Although she is a woman, Yu Muyao is quite capable to have become a director in a group with a market value of billions.

In the 21st century, selling dragon eggs—the combination of these two things is, if not 100%, at least 95% likely a scam.

And then the government bought your first dragon egg?

Yu Muyao felt more convinced that Yu Xiao's actions constituted attempted fraud...

Yu Muyao refused to believe it no matter what, and Yu Xiao couldn't do anything about it.

He can't very well buy a dragon egg himself, and besides, it takes time for it to hatch...

Well then, let time prove it.

He and Yu Muyao spent time explaining and chatting about everyday things until after 6:30 p.m.

"Come on, Auntie, dinner's on me tonight."

Yu Xiao grabbed Yu Muyao's arm and walked towards the office door.

And while the two were taking the elevator downstairs.

In an ordinary residential community in Donghai City.

"Crunch—"

The door was pushed open.

"I'm back……"

An Yuan walked in from outside the door, twisting his neck as he went into the room.

"You're back? Then wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon."

Hearing the noise, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron came out from the other side of the aisle.

After glancing at the tired expression on An Yuan's face.

"You really are something else."

"Your father is an academician of the Great Xia Academy of Sciences. Why did you have to go into sales? There are so many other things you could do!"

The middle-aged woman spoke with great concern.

Upon hearing this...

"Mom, I've told you hundreds of times, I don't like paleontology or any kind of scientific research."

"And I think it's great. I interact with different people every day and I can learn something from them."

An Yuan rolled his eyes at the middle-aged woman, muttered something, and walked towards the living room.

Seeing An Yuan's reaction.

"you……"

The middle-aged woman's eyes widened, and she was about to say something.

However, only the first word had been uttered.

"Alright, Yan Yan, let the younger generation handle their own affairs."

A strong, resonant voice rang out, followed by a hand reaching out and resting on the middle-aged woman's shoulder.

Upon hearing this...

He looked at An Ming, who had walked up to him.

"All you ever say is this... You don't even care about your own son..."

Yan Yan spoke irritably, rolling her eyes at An Ming.

Helpless, he walked back to the kitchen, humming a little tune as he started stir-frying the rice and vegetables again.

A dozen minutes later.

As all the food was served on the dining table in the living room.

"By the way, something really strange happened to me today."

An Yuan picked up a piece of fish and put it in his bowl, speaking casually.

"What is it?"

"Eat quickly, finish eating with you two, I need to get to the research institute right away."

Anming glanced at his tablet while giving a perfunctory answer.

What's going on? The assistant said the egg has shrunk again?

No, we have to go check it out. If the creature inside this egg hatches, it will be an absolutely groundbreaking discovery. This egg absolutely cannot be harmed!

"That's quite a strange thing."

"It's one of my college classmates, I haven't seen him in ages. I only found out today that he's been doing something like selling dragon eggs for the past few years..."

An Yuan picked up another piece of meat.

"The world is so big, there are really all kinds of wonders. There are even people who specialize in selling dragon eggs."

"My fans in the live stream all say that this Yu Xiao has been selling dragon eggs for several years and promotes his dragon eggs online every day."

As An Yuan put the braised pork into his mouth, he chuckled as he chewed.

However, An Yuan had barely finished uttering the last word.

"Clang!"

Anming's chopsticks fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

An Yuan blinked, not understanding why An Ming was reacting so strongly.

"Do you know Mr. Yu Xiao?"

What was he doing at your place?

An Ming spoke with great excitement.

...

"Ahhh, Qiu..."

Yu Xiao sneezed loudly again.

Sniffing, Yu Xiao turned to look at the darkening sky outside the window.

"What the heck? I've been sneezing since just now?"

"Who's talking about me?"

Yu Xiao was a little curious.

I thought about it.

"never mind……"

Yu Xiao closed the suitcase that was on the bed.

Now that Yu Xiao has money and has bought a house, he naturally doesn't want to stay in a rented room.

Although housing prices are currently fluctuating dramatically.

But for Xiao, it didn't matter.

Moreover, having a big house is convenient, for example, Yu Xiao can think more about the 'surroundings' in the future.

When all sorts of "sales plans" appeared in Yu Xiao's mind.

The Shadow Dragon felt an inexhaustible surge of energy after consuming so many energy fragments.

[Benefited by the Shadow Dragon, the host's all attributes increase by 2]

While digesting this energy, the Shadow Dragon seemed to be deep in thought, and comprehended a new skill: [Abyss]

【Abyss (lv1): Creates an abyss at a designated location, binding all living beings within it】

"What the hell?"

Yu Xiao paused in his hand movements, blinked as he looked at the pop-up data panel.

You mean, the Shadow Dragon took a dump and then suddenly realized a new skill?

"The name is quite imposing... but the way it's understood..."

Yu Xiao's lips twitched.

The name is powerful, and the effect is formidable, but the way it's understood is a bit...

Whether to use it or not is not a problem for Xiao.

The question is, how can someone gain a skill just by taking a dump? What kind of incredible comprehension is that?

Curious Yu Xiao was curious.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

There was a rapid knocking on the door of the rented house.

Hearing the noise, Yu Xiao came to his senses and got out of bed.

"Click!"

Reaching the door, Yu Xiao unlocked it and opened it.

My gaze fell upon a plump, middle-aged woman with curly hair, wearing a casual shirt and shorts, standing outside the door.

"Yu Xiao, many tenants have reported that you frequently sell dragon eggs online, suspecting that you are either a fraudster or mentally unstable."

"As a result, many people have complained to me, saying they don't want to live next door to me."
