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

Chapter 7 The dragon became excited because of your gaze!

Upon hearing this sound, the atmosphere in the office instantly cooled down.

"Is it Mr. Yu Xiao again?"

Xia Wei shut her mouth, her phoenix eyes wide open, looking at Yu Xiao with disbelief.

And standing next to Xia Wei.

"How is that possible? Who is this Yu Xiao?"

Xia Minghan opened his mouth, but his neck seemed to be choked, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Yu Muyao, standing on the opposite side, was completely bewildered.

However, there was one thing she understood: her nephew was probably not a good-for-nothing.

However, compared to the rest of the population.

"You're here so quickly?"

Yu Xiao's expression only paused slightly.

Then Yu Xiao turned around and walked towards the office door.

I opened the office door.

Looking ahead, there stood a crew-cut man in uniform.

"Did Xia Qinglan send you here?"

Yu Xiao asked curiously.

"right."

Upon hearing this question, Hou Chunkang nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Hou Chunkang reached into his pocket and pulled out a bank card.

"Lieutenant Xia... Miss Xia said this is the bank card with 50 yuan in cash that was promised before."

Hou Chunkang handed the bank card to Yu Xiao and spoke in a fawning tone.

"Lieutenant?"

Although Hou Chunkang quickly changed his tune, Yu Xiao still caught a glimpse of something.

"The woman... or perhaps more like an administrator... or someone involved in online information?"

Yu Xiao frowned and thought for a moment.

After taking the bank card, Yu Xiao took out a syringe that he had prepared in advance and had specially prepared with several kinds of paint inside.

"Here, this is the culture medium. You can just inject it directly."

Yu Xiao handed the syringe to Hou Chunkang and spoke earnestly.

Well, the cost is 25 cents, and the net profit is 500,000...

Just as Yu Xiao was feeling secretly pleased with himself.

"that……"

Hou Chunkang did not take the syringe directly, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

His lips trembled a few times.

Under Yu Xiao's increasingly curious gaze.

"Miss Xia said that because this matter is of great importance, Mr. Yu Xiao, you need to go there in person to administer the injection."

Hou Chunkang spoke earnestly.

Yu Xiao: ?

Damn! This woman is cunning! Is she trying to drag me onto her trap?

I mentally spat at it.

"Wait a minute."

Yu Xiao waved his hand.

Then, Yu Xiao turned his head.

"Um, I need to go out for a bit?"

Looking at the people standing in the office, Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Upon hearing Yu Xiao's question...

"Mr. Yu, please make yourself at home..."

Xia Minghan was the first to come to his senses, bowed slightly, and spoke politely.

Upon hearing this, her gaze swept over Xia Minghan's now respectful face, before turning to Xia Wei, who stood there dumbfounded.

"Auntie, I'm leaving now. Let's talk later."

Yu Xiao turned to look at Yu Muyao and greeted her with a smile.

...

Yu Xiao was still curious about where they were going.

Although Yu Xiao had just gotten into the car, he was asked by Hou Chunkang to put on a black hood.

But for Yu Xiao, who now possesses the ability of [Night's Edge], the act of shielding is of little use.

I sat listlessly in the back seat of the car, watching the buildings outside the window rushing past.

"It should be heading towards the outskirts of Donghai City... Judging from this direction... it should be northwest..."

"Based on the speed at which the building recedes... the car's speed should be 70 kilometers per hour..."

Yu Xiao was making plans in his mind.

More than an hour later.

The car stopped, and Yu Xiao, who was wearing a hood, got out.

"Is this a research base or something?"

Looking at the magnificent white fortress-like building in front of him, and the white gate at the very front that was hundreds of meters high and tens of meters wide, Yu Xiao was stunned.

I've lived in Donghai City for so many years, and I've never heard of this place.

"Mr. Yu, please come with me."

Hou Chunkang patted Yu Xiao on the shoulder and led him toward the gate.

The gate slowly opened, revealing an interior passageway resembling a honeycomb.

Inside the passageway were countless researchers dressed in white protective suits.

It took more than ten minutes to walk.

Led by Hou Chunkang, Yu Xiao arrived at what was probably the deepest part of the building.

"This is……"

Yu Xiao blinked, his head still covered by a hood, but he could see the scene in front of him with perfect clarity.

This is an exceptionally vast open space, hundreds of meters high and covering several hundred square meters.

The dome is made of transparent glass, through which you can see the hazy sky outside.

Meanwhile, countless machines resembling 'machine tools' were in operation, with researchers in white protective suits adjusting the instruments, recording data, or adding materials to each one.

Just as Yu Xiao was wondering where he had come to.

"Mr. Yu, please come with me."

Hou Chunkang, who was standing next to him, put down his communicator and walked over to Yu Xiao.

...

After several twists and turns, we walked for another few minutes.

With a creak, the white steel door automatically opened to both sides.

"?"

After having his hood removed, Yu Xiao looked at the spotless and exceptionally spacious laboratory in front of him, and at the half-person-high egg in the very center, and blinked.

"Mr. Yu Xiao, you've arrived. As we discussed before..."

Xia Qinglan, wearing a school uniform skirt, walked over from the side.

But before Xia Qinglan could speak...

"Who used violence against the dragon eggs last night?"

Yu Xiao waved his hand and walked towards the dragon egg in the center.

Having lived two lives, Yu Xiao was not unaware of why he had come here.

Now that we understand, let's skip the chit-chat and get straight to the point.

"Forehead……"

Seemingly surprised by Yu Xiao's reaction, Xia Qinglan choked for a moment.

No, I prepared so many responses, I even anticipated all your reactions, and this is how you reacted?

Xia Qinglan hesitated for a moment, her cherry lips trembling slightly. She was somewhat annoyed, but more than that, she was surprised.

But then I thought about my own purpose.

"He is Professor An's apprentice."

"Li Xiong has only recently graduated from university, so he is a bit impatient, and he is also eager to gain Professor An's approval so that he can be promoted."

"After seeing Professor An's enthusiastic attitude towards this egg, I thought of taking a sample from it and then conducting research..."

Xia Qinglan spoke weakly.

She didn't doubt anything, after all, Yu Xiao was the one who sold "dragon eggs".

Well, Xia Qinglan was still skeptical about whether it was a "dragon egg," after all, it was the 21st century, and she had never heard of a real dragon.

"Still researching... that's more like trying to claim credit..."

Yu Xiao curled his lip in disdain, but did not say anything.

Yu Xiao stopped in front of the dragon egg.

"I need to stop this egg from pretending to be dead... but will the dragon egg listen to me...?"

Yu Xiao took the syringe out of his pocket again and pondered for a moment.

Just then.

The Shadow Dragon inside the egg sensed the approach of the supreme ruler and became extremely excited!

[In order to gain your favor, my sovereign, the Shadow Dragon has decided to accelerate its growth!]

[Incubation Countdown: 235 hours and 17 minutes]

[Benefited by the Shadow Dragon, the host's all attributes increase by 1]

"?"

Yu Xiao was stunned.

Yu Xiao was still in a daze.

The Shadow Dragon inside the egg, sensing your presence as its master, becomes extremely excited!

[In order to meet you, my sovereign, as soon as possible, the Shadow Dragon has decided to put in all its effort!]

[Incubation Countdown: 227 hours and 02 minutes]

"What the heck? Dragonborn excited? And then I got attribute point bonuses?"

Looking at the dragon egg in front of him, Yu Xiao's gaze was strange.

You are a young dragon that has not yet hatched!

Playing dead and getting all excited at the same time, are you really that smart?

Yu Xiao felt like complaining.

But the next moment.

"Perfect..."

Yu Xiao chuckled and brought the syringe close to the dragon egg.
