Chapter 50 Oh no! I've been tricked by a man and a dragon!
Yu Xiao remained silent.
It doesn't matter who embarrassed the dragon, but the Golden Dragon's arrogant personality left Yu Xiao feeling helpless.
Most importantly, based on the countdown to the Golden Dragon's hatching, it should hatch by tomorrow night.
Judging from the Shadow Dragon's current behavior of frequently wanting to attack the Golden Dragon...
"We need to find a way to avoid the two dragons meeting as much as possible..."
Yu Xiao rubbed his slightly throbbing temples.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Xiao sighed and continued walking forward.
A few minutes later.
"Crunch—"
The steel gates opened to both sides.
Yu Xiao stepped inside.
I was just about to look up and look around.
"Bang!"
A deafening sound rang out.
As the sound rang out, the steel floor beneath Yu Xiao's feet began to tremble.
"? An earthquake?"
Upon sensing the commotion, Yu Xiao paused for a moment, then looked up.
next moment.
"This is……"
Seeing the scene before him, Yu Xiao's eyelids twitched.
In Yu Xiao's view, a large testing instrument, more than ten meters tall and weighing several tons, was deeply embedded in the steel wall.
The researchers in white coats inside the room, both men and women, were all deathly pale.
The only exception was the Shadow Dragon on the middle table, blinking its big, round eyes with a face full of reluctance, but its expression instantly brightened when it saw itself.
"Could it be the Shadow Dragon's doing?"
"To lift a multi-ton instrument and smash through a steel plate at such a young age?"
Yu Xiao was somewhat incredulous.
An Ming walked in behind Yu Xiao.
"Here we go again... This is the fourteenth one..."
Seeing this, Anming's lips trembled.
Yu Xiao: ?
...
A dozen minutes later.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, that's the situation."
"The Shadow Dragon is extremely resistant to our testing."
"Furthermore, because the Shadow Dragon's destructive power exceeded our expectations, we had no choice but to consult Mr. Yu Xiao..."
An Ming sat in the chair, lowered his head, and spoke with a look of trepidation.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao glanced at the research room, which now looked as if it had been ravaged by war, with more than a dozen huge dents on its steel walls.
"You did all of this?"
Yu Xiao turned his head and looked at the Shadow Dragon, which was flapping its wings and standing affectionately on his shoulder.
"Roar~ Roar~" [They attacked first]
Shadow Dragon blinked its big eyes and spoke with a very aggrieved expression.
Yu Xiao: ?
After seeing Yu Xiao's expression...
"Roar~ Roar~" [They poked me with things first, and then tried to tie me up. My Lord, you can't blame me.]
The Shadow Dragon blinked its big eyes again, its expression becoming even more aggrieved.
Yu Xiao: ...
"Roar~" [And look, they even tried to pluck my dragon scales!]
The Shadow Dragon stretched out its tail, shook it, and spoke pitifully.
I glanced at the intact, scaled tail that shimmered with a purple light.
"Professor An, I just asked the Shadow Dragon. Let's forget about plucking the dragon scales, but..."
Yu Xiao turned his head to look at An Ming and spoke seriously.
But Yu Xiao only got halfway through his sentence.
"Roar~"
Another roar rang out.
Then, out of the corner of Yu Xiao's eye, Shadow Dragon pressed his cheek against Yu Xiao's, looking quite pleased with himself.
While Yu Xiao was still unaware of what was going on.
Shadow Dragon is deeply grateful for your support.
Feeling remorseful for his past actions, the Shadow Dragon has decided to express his submission to you using the highest honors of the dragon race.
[Due to the Shadow Dragon's actions, all of the host's attributes will increase by 1.]
Because the Shadow Dragon came into close contact with your body heat, it gained a new ability: [Abyssal Link]
[Host: Yu Xiao]
Lifespan: 25 years (65 years remaining)
[Strength: Elite Commander]
[Physical Fitness: 75]
【Spirit: 75】
[Agility: 75]
Dragon eggs sold so far: 3
[Currently obtainable abilities from Dragonborn: ..., Abyss Link (lv1)]
【Abyssal Link (lv1): When inside the abyss, the user is completely invisible and shares the vision of abyssal creatures】
Current assets: 31426000
"? This ability..."
"Plus that [abyss] from before... can I just become invisible?"
Looking at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao's heart stirred.
That means that if you encounter something you can't handle in the future, you can create an abyss and then completely hide your physical form.
"But what does 'sharing the vision of abyssal beings' mean? What are abyssal beings?"
Yu Xiao was a little confused.
...
Anming breathed a sigh of relief when Shadow Dragon agreed to the test.
After all, it's an instrument weighing several tons. If he swung it, it could dent a steel wall. Who could stand that?
However, after using various advanced testing instruments.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, our tests show that the Shadow Dragon did not exhibit any energy during its daily activities."
"But once the Shadow Dragon roars or makes a move, its body is instantly filled with energy."
"This energy is very strange; it doesn't belong to any energy source that has ever been discovered on Earth."
An Ming glanced at the Shadow Dragon wagging its tail at Yu Xiao's feet, then looked at Yu Xiao and spoke seriously.
"The so-called law of conservation of energy seems not to exist in the Shadow Dragon. He suddenly appears with a huge amount of energy out of thin air, and then completely dissipates in an instant."
"What I find even more incomprehensible is that, according to established principles, the greater the energy, the larger the volume—this is generally true, but the Shadow Dragon completely defies this..."
After hesitating for a moment, Anming continued to add.
"So, it overturned the science on Earth, is that what you're trying to say?"
Yu Xiao waved his hand; he understood what An Ming meant.
Yes, that's what I meant.
"But what I want to say is that once we can use this technology, it will be an unprecedented leap forward for Great Xia."
"One second there's no energy, the next second the energy is almost equivalent to a nuclear explosion—what does that mean?"
"That means we can completely bypass everyone's vigilance and instantly detonate a nuclear bomb anywhere! What kind of deterrent power is that?"
"Even the legendary portable nuclear power plant could be realized. Once it's in operation, Great Xia will no longer lack energy!"
An Ming nodded, then continued speaking, his face growing increasingly flushed as he finished.
Hearing these words and seeing An Ming's excited expression, Yu Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.
In short, the value of the Shadow Dragon has been exaggerated once again.
Whether it's weapons, strategies, or future prospects, everything is laid out on the table, and it's top-notch.
He hesitated for a moment.
"I asked the Shadow Dragon, and it's willing to accept any kind of testing, except for plucking dragon scales, but it also depends on your methods."
Yu Xiao glanced at the Shadow Dragon's big, round eyes.
He paused after saying that.
Just as Anming was about to say something.
"I have here '108 Habits of a True Dragon' and '108 Ways to Contact a True Dragon'."
"If you need it, I'll give you a discount; two books for 5000 million."
Yu Xiao held up five fingers and spoke with a serious expression.
Anming: ?
"Mr. Yu Xiao, isn't this a bit...?"
Hesitantly, An Ming spoke cautiously.
You're treating the country like a money pit! How much money have you already taken?
"I think spending 5000 million to buy a method to better understand the Shadow Dragon is worthwhile, isn't it?"
Yu Xiao glanced at An Ming and asked in return.
As those words fell.
"Roar~ Roar~" [Yes, yes, yes]
The Shadow Dragon flapped its wings and flew up from the ground, nodding frantically like a chick pecking at rice.
"?"
Seeing this, An Ming's lips twitched.
No, why do I have this feeling that I've been set up by one person and one dragon?
Anming, still struggling with existential questions, was questioning his own existence.
"Roar~ Roar~" [I swear]
The Shadow Dragon extended its right claw, grabbed its own tail, and raised it above its head, roaring with a serious expression.
