Chapter 4: Which despicable bastard is smashing eggs with a hammer?
Upon hearing this...
They met An Ming's gaze.
"Dragon Egg, I've said it before, it's you who have been suspecting me of committing fraud."
Yu Xiao shrugged.
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone, including An Ming, fell silent.
Even Xia Qinglan's eyes flickered at this moment.
Just as the atmosphere became deathly silent once again.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
A series of urgent alarms sounded.
Hearing this, Xia Qinglan snapped out of her reverie and looked in the direction of the voice.
next second.
"Bang!"
The instrument, which An Ming had placed on the ground and was several tens of centimeters long and wide, resembling a black box, exploded as if it had reached its limit.
Meanwhile, fragments of the instrument scattered in all directions.
"This, this is..."
Upon seeing this, An Ming's pupils contracted slightly.
But very quickly.
"I can guarantee it with my reputation! This egg contains extremely strong life force; it will definitely hatch!"
"Regardless of whether it's the real dragon Yu Xiao mentioned, I can be certain that it's a being that has never existed on Earth before!"
An Ming's face flushed, and he turned to look at Xia Qinglan, speaking excitedly.
Hearing this, and seeing the excited expression on An Ming's face, like that of a three-year-old, Xia Qinglan felt a moment of disorientation.
But very quickly.
"Yu Xiao, right? We are officially purchasing this egg from you, and we promise that no one will disturb you until the egg hatches into a living being."
"But before that, we'd like to ask you something."
Do you have any precautions regarding this egg? For example, how to raise it?
Xia Qinglan turned to look at Yu Xiao and spoke seriously.
Hearing this, he met Xia Qinglan's expectant gaze.
"certainly……"
Yu Xiao spoke up subconsciously.
However, Yu Xiao stopped talking halfway through his sentence.
There are no special precautions to take when hatching dragon eggs. After all, the vitality of a real dragon is no joke. Even if you put it in the Arctic, a real dragon can still hatch after a month.
But others don't know that.
He hesitated for a moment.
"Yes, it exists, but as you know, it's something I've painstakingly worked on..."
Yu Xiao wore a troubled expression and rubbed his left hand as he spoke.
However, that doesn't mean Xiao has finished speaking.
"Here is 100 million; I have already applied to the higher-ups."
Xia Qinglan simply pulled a bank card out of her pocket.
...
He glanced at Xia Qinglan and the others carefully carrying the egg downstairs.
"Did you already have a plan for what to do before you came?"
"She and her sister are the complete opposite..."
Yu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully, then turned his head away.

"Only ten minutes have passed, and all my attributes have increased by 1 point... It seems this dragonborn has incredible vitality..."
Yu Xiao glanced at his data panel and sighed.
Doesn't this mean the government is raising a dragon for me, and I just need to develop it?
The most important thing...
"That's how you get something for nothing..."
Yu Xiao was very satisfied.
It seems I can start making up things myself from now on.
For example, "The Habits and Training Directions of True Dragons", "The Preferences of True Dragons", "The Meanings Implied in the 108 Actions of True Dragons"...
Then they can exchange it for money or for what they need.
Thinking about this...
"Okay! Let's start making this up! Anyway, someone will buy it from me in 7 days!"
Yu Xiao walked towards the table in front of him, his eyes filled with determination.
As for whether it's true or false, isn't that up to me to decide?
Anyway, I'm the only one on Earth who can sell true dragons...
...
Yu Xiao is still very serious.
After all, this is related to his big money-making plan.
After all, the other party is a country, so it would be impolite to talk about legality.
Moreover, the better the country nurtures the dragon after it is hatched, the stronger the abilities Yu Xiao will be able to obtain from it.
It went on until almost midnight.
"Snapped!"
Yu Xiao put his phone on the table, stretched, and then headed towards the bathroom.
The first step was taken.
"The peak breeds false support, twilight witnesses true devotion..."
A pleasant ringtone then sounded from the phone.
Upon hearing this noise, Yu Xiao stopped in his tracks.
I picked up my phone and glanced at the caller ID.
"crooked?"
Yu Xiao answered the phone.
The words had barely left his lips.
"What are you doing, you brat? Huh? I told you to go on a blind date, and you're selling dragon eggs to that girl?"
"How old are you? And you're still clinging to this idea of selling dragon eggs?"
On the other end of the phone, a barrage of insults followed.
As Yu Xiao's father's sister, Yu Muyao was furious.
This is my brother's son! He is the only bloodline my brother left in the world!
I finally swallowed my pride and asked my boss's daughter to go on a blind date with him, only to find out he told her he was a dragon egg seller?
"If I hadn't asked Xia Wei just now, I wouldn't have known she blocked me!"
"Later, I had to swallow my pride and ask President Xia, only then did I find out what you had done..."
"Why are you selling dragon eggs? It's the 21st century, how come I've never heard of dragons?"
Yu Muyao's angry outburst continued.
However, Yu Xiao had already turned on speakerphone and placed the phone on the table.
A few minutes later, Yu Xiao came out of the bathroom.
Upon discovering that Yu Muyao was still yelling on the phone, Yu Xiao secretly admired her.
I thought about it.
"Alright, Auntie, it's over and done with it. Besides, I wouldn't even look at her... Look at that Xia Wei, she's obviously..."
Yu Xiao picked up the phone and gave a perfunctory answer.
However, Yu Xiao only got halfway through his sentence.
"You'd better come to my company tomorrow to explain yourself! Apologize to Xia Wei in person! Otherwise, get the hell out of here and start working here!"
Yu Muyao's even louder roar rang out.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao instinctively felt somewhat unwilling.
What did I do? She reported me for fraud, and I haven't even settled the score with her yet...
But after thinking about it...
"Oh……"
Yu Xiao spoke up timidly.
...
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiao took a deep breath.
"It's late at night, perfect timing. I'll go test out my newfound abilities..."
Looking out the window at the increasingly gloomy sky, Yu Xiao thought for a moment and made a decision.
Yu Xiao opened the door and then took out his key to lock the door of the rental house from the inside.
The Shadow Dragon's egg was placed in a sophisticated room.
The Shadow Dragon inside the egg senses the suitable temperature and decides to accelerate its growth to hatch as soon as possible. Hatching countdown: 147 hours and 59 minutes.
"What's this?"
Yu Xiao was stunned for a moment when he saw the data panel that suddenly popped up in front of him.
This is kind of like a training diary, isn't it?
"The temperature feels comfortable; it must be a place with a constant temperature?"
"But what does it mean to decide to accelerate growth? Does it have consciousness before it even hatches?"
Yu Xiao was a little curious.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiao walked towards the elevator.
Yu Xiao pressed the elevator button and waited with his arms crossed.
[The Shadow Dragon sensed a huge emotional fluctuation around it; a man was shouting loudly.]
[Encouraged, the Shadow Dragon decides to accelerate its growth rate again, striving to see the sunlight as soon as possible. Hatching countdown: 147 hours and 57 minutes]
"? There's such a thing?"
Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows as he glanced at the data panel that popped up again.
Is the incubation time of the dragon offspring also related to the surrounding emotions?
But what if it were shown to the public...?
"Ding!"
As Yu Xiao pondered, the elevator doors opened.
I stepped out and entered the elevator.
As the elevator doors closed.
[Someone is violently smashing eggshells with a hammer.]
Although the dragon egg is safe and sound, the Shadow Dragon has been frightened and has decided to slow down its growth. Hatching countdown: 148 hours and 56 minutes.
