Chapter 44 What does it mean for a baby dragon to go looking for a dragon egg to seek revenge?
After glancing at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao looked away.
Schadenfreude, my foot... Even if you can control your energy, can you stop the divine punishment from descending?
"Based on what I just asked Shadow Dragon."
"The True Dragon race is too powerful, so the heavens and earth do not allow its birth."
"Therefore, when the true dragon hatches, a heavenly tribulation will occur, intending to annihilate the young dragon."
"But because the tribulation was only aimed at the young dragon, it wasn't even a world-ending event. In addition, the Shadow Dragon deliberately dissipated its energy, leading the world to mistakenly believe that the young dragon was dead..."
Yu Xiao lowered his head and touched his chin.
I thought about it.
"This will probably happen a few more times in the next few days, so it's best to be careful."
"And it might not be the same situation as today."
Yu Xiao patted An Ming on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, An Ming, who was about to open his mouth to say something, paused in surprise.
No, there will be more?
He glanced at An Ming's horrified expression.
"Let's go, I need to tell you what's going to happen next."
Yu Xiao sighed, then took the lead and walked towards the gate of the research base.
...
More than an hour later.
Inside the research base, there is a room filled with various technological facilities.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, are you telling the truth?"
An Ming stared at Yu Xiao sitting opposite him, his eyes wide and his face full of disbelief.
I glanced at the Shadow Dragon playing with its tail not far away.
"You mean we'll need to prepare 50 adult beef cattle every day from now on?"
Anming's lips trembled slightly.
This creature, which even looks somewhat cute, has such a terrifying appetite?
"Yes, and this is just my most conservative estimate."
Yu Xiao nodded.
"..."
An Ming fell silent.
A cow, at the current price, is basically worth ten thousand yuan.
50 head a day, that's 50; a month... that's 1500 million...
"Professor An, you saw the scene just now, and you also saw the iron piece and crystals that appeared before the dragon egg, didn't you?"
Looking at An Ming, Yu Xiao shrugged.
It was this terrifying drain that made Yu Xiao give up on raising it himself.
1500 million a month, 1.8 million a year... Objectively speaking, you either need to be a billionaire or the country to support you.
Let others handle the spending; you're the one who made the mistake, what does it have to do with me?
He paused after saying that.
Seeing that Anming remained silent, he did not speak.
"Most importantly, this is a real dragon. Judging from its destructive power just now, once it's unleashed, its strategic value will be far more than just 3 million a year, right?"
Yu Xiao added further.
Anming did not answer; his mind raced.
The previous crystals have all been confirmed to contain large amounts of rare earth elements, and the iron sheet from a few days ago has also proven to have extremely high application value. Not to mention anything else, the material, which completely deceives instrument detection, would be invaluable if used in fighter jets...
Then, just from the moment of its birth, there were extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, along with a tremor that resembled the arrival of an extreme cold apocalypse...
A few minutes later.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, could you give me a moment? I need to ask about something."
An Ming raised his head and took a deep breath.
...
After An Ming's report was submitted, the group of bigwigs, who were still in shock, were startled again.
You mean, it costs 50 a day to raise this dragon?
But also submitted was Zhong Houwang's report.
Zhong Houwang wrote in detail about what it was like when he first arrived at the research base, what it was like afterward, and what the weather was like around him.
Day turned to night, the deep, bone-chilling cold vanished in an instant, and he was found to possess immense value...
This isn't about money anymore, but about the actual value.
While a group of bigwigs were exploring various aspects.
Scientific research base.
"What do you mean you want to beat up the Golden Dragon before it's even born?"
Yu Xiao frowned as he watched the Shadow Dragon flying around in front of him.
That's outrageous... Aren't you taking advantage of the fact that it hasn't even been born yet?
"Roar~ Roar~" [Who told him to give me the nickname "loach"?]
The Shadow Dragon hovered in mid-air, blinking its large, round eyes, its gaze filled with rage.
Yu Xiao: ...
"You're not allowed to go!"
After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiao's expression turned serious.
What would Xia Minghan's reaction be if he saw other dragons coming to gnaw on the dragon eggs he bought at a high price?
Most importantly, aren't you just stirring up another battle between the two dragons?
"Roar~ Roar~" [Oh]
The Shadow Dragon let out a pitiful roar, then lowered its head.
[Because of your forceful command, Shadow Dragon is unable to seek revenge against Golden Dragon, which makes Shadow Dragon feel very aggrieved.]
However, the Golden Dragon breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that you forbade the Shadow Dragon from seeking revenge.
[While despising the Shadow Dragon for disgracing the dragon race, and showing no fear of it, the Golden Dragon immediately took another bite of the dragon egg fragment as a sign of its respect.]
[Incubation Countdown: 41 hours and 24 minutes]
[Due to the Golden Dragon's feedback, the host's all attributes increase by 1]
[Host: Yu Xiao]
Lifespan: 25 years (65 years remaining)
[Strength: Elite Commander]
[Physical Fitness: 72]
【Spirit: 72】
[Agility: 72]
Dragon eggs sold so far: 3
[Currently available abilities from Dragonborn: ...]
Current assets: 13276000
"What the hell?"
Yu Xiao was stunned when he saw the pop-up data panel.
No, if you're not afraid, why are you even letting out a sigh of relief... Pshaw! You stubborn tsundere!
Just as Yu Xiao was internally complaining.
"Ding!"
The Shadow Dragon flapped its wings and flew to Yu Xiao's side. Then, the Shadow Dragon turned its head and plucked a scale off its body.
After looking at the dragon scale in his hand with a solemn and reluctant expression.
"Roar~ Roar~" [I'm giving the dragon scales to the Lord, could you please pretend you didn't see them?]
The Shadow Dragon stretched out its hands and handed the dragon scales to Yu Xiao.
"..."
Yu Xiao remained silent, not saying a word.
This is unbelievable! This is the first time I've ever seen a real dragon offering bribes...
The key point is that he even plucked his own dragon scales to use as a bribe!
Yu Xiao remained silent.
"Roar~ Roar~" [Does the Lord not like it?]
The Shadow Dragon tilted its head and blinked its big, round eyes.
Then.
To Yu Xiao's astonishment, the Shadow Dragon turned its head and grabbed the tail behind its rear end.
"Roar~ Roar~" [I swear on the honor of the dragon race, I will only beat up the Golden Divine Dragon, and will not use any other power.]
Shadow Dragon looked at Yu Xiao with a pitiful expression.
"?"
Yu Xiao was instantly horrified.
Just as I was about to say something.
"Crunch—"
The steel gates opened to both sides.
Followed by.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, after our discussion, we have decided..."
Wearing a uniform and looking very dashing, Xia Qinglan walked over, carrying a stack of documents in her arms.
It was only halfway through the conversation.
Xia Qinglan shut her mouth and stopped walking.
...
Xia Qinglan was still quite shocked.
The scene she had just witnessed—from daylight turning into night to the tremors that ran through her bones—all told her that this was an absolutely extraordinary creature.
I've never heard of a being being born and then facing a heavenly tribulation...
but now……
"What's going on? Holding up its tail and swearing an oath? Or trying to act cute?"
"Is this still the same dragon that was about to destroy the world?"
Xia Qinglan blinked.
Most importantly, the true dragon voluntarily plucked off its own scales and gave them to someone else?
Xia Qinglan felt that her worldview had been overturned once again.
Just as Xia Qinglan was hesitating whether to pinch herself to see if she was dreaming.
"Has the discussion reached a conclusion?"
Yu Xiao looked up at Xia Qinglan and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Xia Qinglan came back to her senses.
After giving the Shadow Dragon a deep look.
"In principle, Mr. Yu Xiao is cooperating with Da Xia, so Da Xia will consider Mr. Yu Xiao's opinion."
"But the cost of 50 cows a day is a bit staggering, so Da Xia felt that we needed to conduct some tests before making a final decision."
