Chapter 78 The Shadow Dragon felt a bit like a black slave…
Yu Xiao felt that the Shadow Dragon at this moment truly deserved the name of the Lord of the Abyss.
Because of the enormous thing in front of us.
To be honest, it's just a baby dragon that has only hatched a few days ago.
But the next second...
Yu Xiao then discovered another problem.
"We absolutely cannot allow the Shadow Dragon and the Golden Dragon to fight within the territory of Great Xia..."
"My foresight was correct..."
Looking at the colossal beast towering like a mountain before him, Yu Xiao's other idea became even more resolute.
If two dragons, each hundreds of meters long, were to actually fight... then not only Donghai City, but also several surrounding cities would be reduced to ruins in no time!
"Just a moment..."
With this in mind, Yu Xiao's gaze hardened.
Just then.
[Sensing your praise, the Shadow Dragon became very excited.]
[At the same time, having revealed its true form for the first time, the Shadow Dragon gained a new ability: [Gigantification]]
[Due to the Shadow Dragon's feedback, the host's all attributes increase by 1]

"This is..."
Looking at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao was stunned for a moment.
New capabilities?
But is this new ability really that simple and straightforward?
Yu Xiao lowered his head, lost in thought.
"This, this, this..."
An Ming, who had gotten up from the ground, stood to the side, looking at the Shadow Dragon in front of him, his face pale and his lips trembling.
So tall and so terrifying?
You mean he's the Shadow Dragon that was sitting on the floor watching TV before?
And not just Anming.
"Is it fake? It doesn't look like it..."
Xia Qinglan and the other researchers watched this scene with astonishment on their faces.
How could such a colossal beast be associated with a creature that looks adorable sitting on the ground watching TV?
And while a group of researchers felt their worldview was constantly collapsing, and collapsing again.
"Is this a real dragon?"
Chang Shurong stared at the Shadow Dragon roaring to the sky, his gaze somewhat dazed.
I've actually seen a real dragon in my entire life! A dragon as tall as a mountain!
With trembling hands raised, Chang Shurong was about to slap herself to see if she was dreaming.
next second.
"call out!"
The Shadow Dragon's body shrank rapidly, as if an inflated balloon had suddenly deflated.
In less than a breath.
The Shadow Dragon shrank from a colossal creature over a hundred feet tall to a size roughly the same as a teacup dog.
After that.
"Roar~" [My Lord, I'm hungry!]
The Shadow Dragon flapped its wings and flew towards Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao: ?
...
According to the Shadow Dragon, the main body consumes more energy.
Yu Xiao didn't have any objections to this.
After all, one is hundreds of meters long, and the other is only tens of centimeters long. Who knows which one consumes more energy?
Led by Xia Qinglan, Shadow Dragon headed towards the room where 50 head of cattle were kept.
Inside the research base.
"You want to buy dragon scales from me?"
Yu Xiao looked at An Ming in front of him, somewhat taken aback.
I thought you wanted to talk to me about something else. Why are you saying this?
"Yes, Mr. Yu Xiao, as you know, such a sturdy object that can completely conceal itself from radar detection is of immense value once it is put to use."
An Ming nodded, very seriously.
Putting everything else aside, if we could cover a fighter jet with the scales of the Shadow Dragon...
That means this fighter jet can really hit any target it wants, and there's absolutely no possibility of it being intercepted.
Even if a similar material is replicated, the performance of the stealth fighters on the Great Xia side will leap by three or four levels!
"The Shadow Dragon forbids us from plucking its scales, but it will pluck scales and give them to Mr. Yu Xiao on its own initiative. We really envy that..."
Thinking of this, An Ming turned his head, glanced at the dragon scales piled on the table next to him, and swallowed.
The difference in treatment is like night and day!
"It's not impossible. How many do you want to buy?"
After a moment's thought, Yu Xiao nodded.
Anyway, the Shadow Dragon has plenty of scales on its body. It's been fleecing the country, so what's wrong with taking dragon scales?
"Based on our previous assessment... 1000 million for a single dragon scale, Mr. Yu Xiao, do you think that's feasible?"
"If Mr. Yu Xiao could sell us all 100 dragon scales... how about 20 billion?"
Anming thought for a moment and then raised one finger.
Yu Xiao: ?
Is it that valuable?
next moment.
"make a deal!"
Yu Xiao's expression turned serious, and he extended his right hand.
...
More than half an hour later.
"Chirp!"
The Shadow Dragon plucked a scale from its back.
I glanced at the part of myself that had instantly returned to normal.
"Roar~" [Give]
The Shadow Dragon turned its head, took the dragon scale in its hand, and handed it to Yu Xiao.
"Well done."
Yu Xiao took the dragon scale and casually placed it on the table next to him, giving it a thumbs up.
Yu Xiao's heartfelt praise was appreciated.
"Roar~" [Your Majesty is naughty!]
The Shadow Dragon stared with its big, round eyes and pouted.
Sigh, life is tough, so Longlong has to make a living by performing.
Yu Xiao ignored Shadow Dragon.
You didn't lose anything... it was just a little energy depletion... do you think it would be easy for me to sell you all?
"Roar~" [It hurts so much, doesn't the Lord feel sorry for the dragon?]
Seeing that Yu Xiao ignored him, the Shadow Dragon turned its head away with a pitiful expression and extended its claws again.
Yu Xiao pretended not to see it.
As Yu Xiao placed more and more dragon scales on the table.
"Forehead……"
Xia Qinglan, who witnessed the whole scene, choked for a moment.
A person is supervising, while a dragon is voluntarily plucking its own scales... I suddenly have a sense of déjà vu about Yang Bailao (a character from a Chinese folktale known for his cunning and ruthlessness)...
Is this docile, pitiful, and adorable dragon in front of us really the same epic beast that was as huge as a mountain before?
Xia Qinglan couldn't understand it.
Anming, standing on the other side, was also puzzled.
"How exactly did Mr. Yu Xiao do it? How did he manage to make the Shadow Dragon so docile?"
An Ming frowned, looking puzzled.
If true dragons exist, then approaching a dragon is a feat in itself, and making a dragon submit is an even greater feat.
But to get a dragon to willingly pluck its own scales for other creatures... it's like a dream!
...
More than half an hour later.
"All 100 pieces are here."
Yu Xiao pointed to the dragon scales piled on the table and looked at An Ming.
He paused for a moment.
"I'll give you two pieces for free, no money required."
Yu Xiao took out two dragon scales from his pocket.
Upon hearing this, An Ming glanced at the dragon scales piled on the table.
"No need, the price should be what it is. We can't let Mr. Yu Xiao suffer a loss, can we?"
"At most three days, 20.5 billion will be transferred into Mr. Yu Xiao's account."
An Ming gripped Yu Xiao's outstretched right hand tightly and spoke with a smile.
Yu Xiao didn't mind An Ming's words and said, "If you insist on giving it to me, then I'll take it too."
I thought about it.
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Yu Xiao turned around and waved his hand.
"Is Mr. Yu Xiao going back?"
An Ming stared blankly at Yu Xiao's retreating figure.
next moment.
Anming glanced at Shadow Dragon, who was sitting on the floor watching TV, with some concern.
"Having plucked so many scales, won't the Shadow Dragon itself suffer any damage?"
Anming spoke with concern.
Upon hearing this...
Yu Xiao stopped in his tracks and glanced at Shadow Dragon, who was watching the TV series intently with his eyes glued to the screen.
What do you think?
Yu Xiao uttered three words.
Does this look like something's wrong?
...
Yu Xiao had other things to do.
For example, he promised Chang Shurong that he would have all the employees of his companies sign confidentiality agreements.
I also need to go to Lingman's place and communicate with the fairy dragon.
Then Yu Xiao planned to go to Tian Zhengzhuan to ask if he could buy the fifth dragon egg.
After all, the more dragon eggs one sells, the more one's status, wealth, and power will increase dramatically.
And what if some dragons could provide feedback on abilities that are even more useful?
For example, invisibility.
"If I could gain the ability to become invisible, would I need to worry about whether anyone would come after me?"
As Yu Xiao walked out of the research base, he sighed.
