Chapter 22: Oh no! It's a danger warning card! ...
Zhu Yu was stunned. She didn't expect that she would have to give a name before hatching.
She looked down at the little red dragon scales vaguely visible between the eggshells, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of her mouth.
But as a person who is recognized as bad at naming in real life, this sudden task still gave her a headache.
Zhu Yu held his chin and began to think seriously.
"What should I call you..."
Just as she was racking her brains to think of a name, the eggshell suddenly shook, and a small red claw stretched out and tapped the edge of the eggshell, as if urging her to make a decision quickly.
Zhu Yu looked at the little paw and couldn't help laughing:
"You're quite anxious."
She tilted her head and said seriously:
"Since you are red in appearance, why not call me Xiaohong?"
The little fire dragon in the eggshell suddenly stopped any reaction and was so quiet as if it was playing dead.
The light of System 996 on the side flickered slightly, and said in a tactful tone:
"Host, isn't the name 'Xiao Hong' a bit... perfunctory?"
Zhu Yu raised his head and glared at it:
"It's a dragon, so it should be able to breathe fire. Why not call it Little Fire?"
System 996 paused and remained silent for a while:
"...Host, this name is quite straightforward."
Zhu Yu was unwilling to give up, and tried several more names in succession: "Flame? Blazing Flame? Fireball? Red?"
Every time a name was said, the little guy in the eggshell didn't move, and was even too lazy to wave his claws.
Later, Zhu Yu was so anxious that he scratched his head and complained:
"If I had a Xinhua Dictionary, I might be able to find some inspiration."
Just as she was thinking hard, an idea suddenly occurred to her. Her eyes fell on the faintly visible red scales between the eggshells, and she clapped her hands and said:
"Got it! How about calling you Yi Yi? Four fires make Yi, which is both domineering and cute. How about it? Do you like it?"
There was a slight shaking sound from inside the eggshell, as if it was thinking.
There seems to be hope this time!
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yu’s frown finally relaxed.
She turned to System 996 and said:
"So, Charmander's name has 'Eight Fires' in it, so he will definitely be very powerful in the future!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the eggshell began to shake violently.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp crack appeared on the surface of the eggshell.
With a "click", a small red dragon head popped out of the shell, its bright golden eyes full of agility and excitement.
After a moment, the little fire dragon twisted its body and struggled to crawl out of the eggshell.
The newly hatched Charmander was covered with shiny red scales, its claws were sharp yet tender, and the little wings on its back were still covered with a thin transparent membrane, flapping as it tried to stand firm.
Zhu Yu excitedly picked up the little Charmander and gently touched its wings. He was so happy as if he had won a prize:
"Oh my God! Xiao Bahuo, uh, no, Yiyi, you finally came out!"
Just as she was immersed in joy, System 996 came over and was about to make a joke, but Charmander suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a small smoking flame at it.
996 dodged in a panic and exclaimed:
"Host! How come this little fellow is so...active just after being born?"
After spitting out fire, the little fire dragon was obviously inexperienced. It choked and coughed a few times. It raised its head and looked at Zhu Yu with innocent golden eyes.
Zhu Yu couldn't help laughing. He soothed its little back and called its name softly:
"Yiyi, Yiyi——"
However, Charmander seemed somewhat reluctant, tilting his head, his eyes seemed to reveal a hint of disgust, as if he wasn't going to pay much attention to her.
Zhu Yu paused and had a bad feeling in his heart.
She called out tentatively, "Eight Fires?"
The little dragon suddenly became excited, and licked her cheek enthusiastically with its tongue, while its tail swung back and forth happily.
Zhu Yu was stunned, then he covered his face and fell weakly on the bed, letting out a long sigh: "Destroy it!"
She was a bad namer and finally came up with a pretty good name, but she didn't expect that in the end...
System 996 couldn't help but finish off:
"Host, I think 'Eight Fires' is a good name."
Zhu Yu gritted his teeth, looked up at the little fire dragon that was happily wagging its tail, and finally held on to the last bit of bottom line, and said in a deep voice:
"Okay! Your full name is Yi Yi, and your nickname is Ba Huo, okay?"
The little dragon blinked and rubbed happily in her arms, obviously having no objection to this arrangement.
Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, touched its little head, and laughed:
"Forget it, eight fires is eight fires, as long as you are happy."
[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully hatched the fire summoned beast "Yi Yi"! The summoning illustration has been unlocked, you can view the detailed information of the summoned beast in the illustration]
The system prompt sound echoed in my ears.
After hearing this, Zhu Yu carefully placed the Charmander on the table.
The little guy flapped his short wings and looked around, looking very curious about the new world.
Zhu Yu laughed, then opened the black bracelet and switched to the long-lost player page.
Because the fire dragon egg had not hatched yet, and the dungeon operations had become increasingly busy recently, she had been using the blue NPC page almost the entire time, and had almost forgotten that she was also a player summoner.
In the illustration interface, a holographic image slowly emerged, which was a cartoon image of Yi Yi.
The little dragon raised its head proudly in the picture, and its golden eyes revealed an innate majesty.
Zhu Yu clicked on the detailed information, and the interface quickly updated to show its basic information:
[Summoned beast name: Yi Yi (nickname: Yahuo)
Race: Fire dragon
Potential value: S level
Current level: ? ?
Unlocked Skill: Dragon Might
Skill Description: Longwei can increase the attack power of itself and surrounding teammates for a short period of time, while releasing a strong pressure, indiscriminately making enemies within the range temporarily fall into a state of fear, reducing their attack and defense capabilities.
Zhu Yu looked at the skill description and said to 996:
"The little guy looks cute, but his skills are pretty impressive."
System 996's tone was somewhat clear:
"No wonder the little guy was so unfamiliar with spitting dragon flames just now. It turns out that the skills he unlocked are not suitable for him."
Seeing that it seemed to still be bothered by the fire sprayed by Yi Yi just now, Zhu Yu shook his head helplessly and pulled down the illustration interface with his finger.
[The host can unlock more skills of Charmander by completing side quests, so stay tuned]
Seeing this explanation, Zhu Yu showed an expected expression and complained without any surprise:
"It's like this again. Anything can be linked to a side quest. This is simply the old trick used by the game to exploit me."
She continued to flip through the pages and found another small description of Yi Yi's habits:
[Yiyi likes everything that glitters, especially gold coins, gems and other shiny objects]
Zhu Yu: "Fortunately, I am the city lord now and can keep making money to support it. Otherwise, if I only rely on my status as a player to support such a money-loving little fellow, wouldn't I go bankrupt early?"
Just as she was about to continue teasing, she suddenly heard a light "crunching" sound in her ears.
Zhu Yu subconsciously turned his gaze back to the little dragon, only to see it gnawing on the broken eggshell with relish, a look of satisfaction on its face.
A few minutes later, Yiyi swallowed the last piece of eggshell and her stomach became round and swollen.
It stood on the table, tilted its head, and suddenly flapped its wings hard. Its body flew into the air, and after flying for less than two seconds, it landed steadily on the table, swinging its dragon tail proudly.
"Oh, I feel stronger after eating."
Zhu Yu raised his hand and scattered a handful of golden coins from the space.
When the little fire dragon saw it, his eyes lit up instantly and he let out a childish "Ah". He pounced on it impatiently, held the gold coin with his claws, and rubbed it with a satisfied look on his face.
Zhu Yu took out a few small gems from the storage space, shook them in the palm of his hand, and successfully transferred Yi Yi's attraction from the pile of gold coins to her.
"Come on, see if you can get these gems."
Zhu Yu picked up a sapphire in his hand temptingly, and when the little fire dragon came over eagerly, he suddenly shook his wrist and threw the gem towards System 996.
Yiyi stopped, was stunned for a moment, and then let out a low growl. His golden eyes were full of grievance, as if he was protesting against this "deception".
Zhu Yu touched its little head and encouraged:
"Yahuo, try to spread your wings and fly over. I'm sure you can do it."
System 996 also lowered its flight altitude in tacit agreement, and the light ball flickered gently:
"Come and try it, little guy. The gem is right here."
The little fire dragon hesitated for a moment, flapped its wings vigorously, took off into the air, and flew crookedly towards the ball of light. Finally, it succeeded in grabbing the gem and let out a "chi~" excitedly.
"Not bad, good flying!"
Zhu Yu tried hard to ignore the bird-like sound, clapped his hands and smiled.
Charmander seemed to be interested in this "game" and was becoming more and more involved.
Zhu Yu took out a few more gems and threw them farther each time.
After several rounds, Yi Yi's flying posture gradually became stable and its speed became faster and faster.
It even learned how to use its tail to pick up scattered gems in mid-air.
After playing for several rounds, Charmander finally couldn't fly anymore.
It lay limply on the table, its little tail wagging lazily, its eyes half-closed, looking extremely well-behaved.
Zhu Yu couldn't help but poke its head and said softly:
"Okay, go back and rest if you're tired of playing."
After putting Yi Yi into the summoning space, Zhu Yu stretched his muscles, fell on the bed, pulled the quilt over him, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt a stuffy heat in her sleep, as if something was burning her skin.
Zhu Yu frowned and turned over, but found that the heat did not subside, but became more obvious.
Suddenly she seemed to think of something, opened her eyes abruptly, and sat up immediately.
Oh no! It's a danger warning card!
In the previous copy, Zhu Yu obtained three danger warning cards.
She had used one of the danger warning cards before and knew that it would automatically trigger an alert if a serious threat was about to occur.
Zhu Yu lowered his eyelashes slightly and took out a hot card from the space.
She gently pressed her finger on the danger warning card, and the card immediately emitted a strong red light, and a blurry picture quickly unfolded before her eyes.
In the boundless desert, a sandstorm is advancing rapidly, and the yellow sand is rolling like the roar of a giant beast, sweeping away everything in its pass.
A group of players were fleeing desperately.
Some people held their heads to avoid the oncoming sand and gravel, while others knelt on the ground and struggled to get up, but their lower bodies were buried by the sand flow.
Intermittent shouts and cries for help were heard in the sandstorm, but they were soon swallowed up by the raging storm.
Zhu Yu was trying to see more details when the scene suddenly changed and he came to a small player base.
The walls of the base were obviously not high enough, and some places even had cracks and slight collapses.
When the sandstorm came, the strong wind pressure made the walls make a frightening "creaking" sound.
The next second, one side of the city wall collapsed, and rubble and sand poured down like a torrent.
Dozens of players tried to block the crack with wooden boards and sandbags, but the strong wind blew sand and rocks relentlessly and instantly destroyed their makeshift defense line.
In the picture, the yellow sand swallowed everything like a tide, and even the top of the base building was only vaguely visible from the sea of sand.
