Chapter 23
[Warning, warning! A beast tide is approaching. Please prepare to flee!]
The cold voice of the light brain rang in his ears, but Wu Jian still stood there in a daze until the burning pain in his wings forced him to come back to his senses.
His wings seemed to be broken again.
Wu Jian looked down at the space bracelet in his paw and couldn't help but howl twice.
"Ah!" He Nuo, damn it!
Wu Jian grabbed the bracelet, stood on the edge of the abyss for a moment, then turned and left.
In a relatively safe place, he retrieved his bag from his bracelet and found a pile of gleaming energy stones inside. He should have been happy to have his gems back. But why did he feel so downhearted?
Wu Jian slapped his face with his paws and buried his head in the energy stone. The surroundings fell into silence and all sounds were silenced.
The barrage slowed down.
Actually, He Nuo is quite kind to the little dragon cub, even if he can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. When I saw He Nuo and the Star Beast falling into the abyss, I admit I was so moved that I burst into tears, okay!
[Is the little dragon cub sad? He Nuo, really, I'm crying. He even left his space bracelet to the little dragon cub in the end. Thinking about how he took care of the little dragon cub all the way, it's confirmed that he's the male mother. I just became a fan of him, and he's gone so quickly, ugh...]
[I petted the little dragon cub. I finally managed to cuddle up to a thigh, but before I could even warm myself up, I was gone. The little dragon cub must be in danger now, still in the mole's nest. Oops, I'm a little afraid to look.]
[This is hilarious! I thought he was some big shot, a newcomer on livestream, but this is all he got. What's so good about a baby? Given his current situation, he'll be gnawed to pieces by rats in less than three minutes.]
[I said, no one's forcing you to watch this. If you don't like it, just click the cross. Why are you talking about a little cub? Did I provoke you?]
The barrage of comments started to quarrel, and the audience from the Blue Star Civilization did not dare to persuade them. They were just more concerned about whether the little dragon cub was in danger or not.
Wu Jian buried himself in the energy stone for a while. When he looked up again, his eyes were slightly red. But he didn't cry. He was just more silent than usual.
When he stood up, something fell out from the pile of energy stones.
Wu Jian bent down, picked up the thing and looked at it, and suddenly remembered what it was.
Hold the token!
When Wu Jian saw the function of the token popping up on the panel, he suddenly thought of something. He put the energy stone into the space and looked back at the direction of the abyss.
, turned and left.
He Nuo lured the star beasts away to reduce the burden on Tang Keke and the others, but facing the huge group of rats, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and were overestimating their own capabilities.
Tang Keke decisively gave up the decision to guard the exit, and the rats swarmed out of the exit. Tang Keke and his group struggled to avoid the rats' attack in the corner.
Fortunately, a large number of shrews have left their nests, and the few remaining shrews can still cope with it.
After they dealt with the rats, they found that the queen rat in the nest was also missing.
Tang Keke's face changed and she realized something was wrong.
"What did the optical brain remind me just now?"
When the optical brain spoke, they were busy dealing with the rats and didn't hear it clearly.
Zhao Qing glanced at the light blue subtitles on the panel and his lips trembled.
"The beast tide is coming!"
Tang Keke said seriously, "Let's go find Wu Jian and He Nuo first!"
Snap!
There was a rumbling sound and violent shaking coming from underground.
"Oh no, Captain, this place is about to collapse."
Tang Keke gritted her teeth and said, "Leave first!"
Broken stones kept falling from the corridor, indicating that it was about to collapse.
When Tang Keke and his team were about to reach the exit, they ran into David who was waiting for them at the exit.
"David, what are you trying to do? This place is about to collapse. Leave now."
Since they are all from the Blue Planet, Tang Keke reminded David.
David scoffed and said, "I'm waiting for you."
Tang Keke frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing, I just don't want you to escape, that's all."
Tang Ke thought she had misheard and looked at David in disbelief.
"Are you crazy?"
"Crazy?" David couldn't help laughing maniacally.
The people who followed David were all gone, leaving David alone, covered in wounds, looking miserable. David must have been following them, but he didn't expect to encounter a swarm of crazy rats, which led to the tragedy.
David said, "You heard it just now! The beast tide is coming. There are monsters charging up there. Going up there means death. And this place is about to collapse. We're all going to die here! In that case, why don't I give you a ride? You should thank me."
"Thank you, der! Are you crazy?" Tang Keke couldn't help but curse.
Fool
It happens every year, but this year it's especially badass. Instead of completing the missions, they just mess with me. Seriously, a pig would be better than the decent David, right?
The furious Tang Keke swung his sledgehammer and attacked directly.
David: Isn't China a nation of propriety? Why are you taking advantage of others' misfortune?
Tang Keke didn't care about all this. She just knew that she was fed up with her stupid teammate holding her back. If she didn't beat him up, she wouldn't be able to get rid of the hatred in her heart.
David had just been attacked by a group of rats, and his abilities were not as good as Tang Keke's, so he was naturally beaten black and blue.
Tang Keke put away the hammer and looked coldly at David, who was lying on the ground. "The solution is invented by people. We don't need you to be kind. Let's go!"
Tang Keke led her teammates away, and David sat on the ground with a gloomy look in his eyes, watching them leave.
——
In the third training ground, the ground roared, a deep trench appeared in the earth, and the cave collapsed again, forcing the other players to temporarily evacuate and return to the ground.
At this time, countless monsters appeared from every corner, scrambling to follow the large army.
Just as David said, Tang Keke and the others will face mad monsters when they come out!
Looking at the scene of Death Beast City being razed to the ground by monsters, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
"Captain, can we really get out alive?"
Tang Keke's throat was dry and she didn't know how to respond to her teammates, so she could only smile bitterly.
"Don't give up hope. Just hold on. You'll finally have a chance to get out!"
Another wave of beasts came, and there was a group of players running for their lives in front of the Warcraft. If they were a little slower, they would be directly caught in the beast tide and trampled into meat patties.
Tang Keke's face turned pale and she shouted, "Run!"
At the same time, the corridor collapsed.
Because Wu Jian's wings were injured and he couldn't run fast, he was buried in the tunnel and couldn't get out.
The space where he was now was not big, just enough for him to move around.
Wu Jian took out a glowing energy stone and looked around, wondering if he could find an exit. Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
He was right under the building and was stuck in it when it collapsed.
With the help of the light from the energy stone, he could see some of the building's features, as well as the furniture in the room, which just happened to separate the gaps above his head and provide him with some oxygen.
Wu Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He still couldn't shake off the aura of bad luck.
Now, let alone escaping, once the oxygen is exhausted,
Suffocated to death.
If I had known earlier, I would have jumped with He Nuo. At least when I died, it wouldn’t be so painful.
Wu Jian touched the energy stone and sighed again.
I don’t know whether Tang Keke and the others escaped, or what the situation is outside.
The female star beast fell into the abyss with He Nuo. They couldn't get the energy cube crystal. After thirty minutes, the laser cannon would cover the entire training ground, and they would still die.
Forget it, let it be.
Just as Wu Jian was lost in thought, a long groan came from the side, which scared Wu Jian so much that white sweat broke out on the back of his neck.
"Ah!" Who!
Wu Jian held the energy stone and pointed it at the place where the sound came from, and saw an eye with vertical pupils!
Wu Jian:!
What the hell!
Wu Jian looked carefully and found that it was actually a giant scavenger beast!
This scavenger is still alive.
Wu Jian was surprised and disappointed at the same time.
What if we find the scavenger? We can’t get out anyway.
Wu Jian sat back down dejectedly, took out his energy stone to make a nest, and waited for death.
Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well die with dignity.
He placed the energy stones pessimistically, and called on the optical computer to record it. If someone could enter the No. 3 training ground again and find this location, they might even be able to see his bones.
Snap!
The token suddenly fell out of the bag.
The crisp sound of it hitting the energy stone attracted Wu Jian's attention.
He was just about to pick up the token when he heard the sound of a computer machine coming from his head.
[Warning, warning! Death Beast City has issued a wanted order for player Wu Jian. Player Wu Jian, please protect your own safety.]
After listening to this, Wu Jian was speechless for a long time.
"Oh." It's already this time, and you're still joking!
[No kidding, the token holder has been discovered. Player Wu Jian is wanted by Death Beast City. Please take care of yourself.]
Wu Jian was about to retort when dust began to fall from the living space, and a crackling sound was heard. Wu Jian heard a familiar roar of a beast and turned to look in the direction of the scavenger.
It is the culprit that caused this series of sounds!
Watching the scavenger moving towards him, Wu Jian's inspiration was aroused again.
It seemed that his previous idea could be realized.
——
The devastated Death Beast City became a severely affected area and also a place where players were besieged.
Because a very deep ravine blocked their way. If they kept running forward, they would fall into the abyss. But if they stopped, they would be caught in the frenzy of monsters. Now everyone was in a dilemma.
Tang Keke's teammates were extremely desperate.
"Captain, are we really going to die here?"
Tang Keke bit her lip until blood came out.
boom!
The group of monsters behind him became agitated, and the madly running monsters seemed to have stopped.
"What's going on?"
Many players gasped in embarrassment and looked back to see a huge tornado blowing the monsters into the sky, causing the other monsters to temporarily stop moving forward.
The ruined buildings bulged, and a giant scavenger beast rushed out from it, roaring to the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the optical computer rang in the ears of many players.
[Player Wu Jian has been wanted by Death Beast City! ]
Tang Keke exclaimed in surprise: "Wu Jian, he is not dead yet!"
Zhao Qing tugged at the excited Tang Keke and asked doubtfully, "Keke, am I dazzled, or am I hallucinating? Why do I see Wu Jian on the scavenger's head?"
Tang Keke shook her head suddenly, looked over the scavenger's head, and discovered the presence of the little dragon cub, and her eyes widened involuntarily.
What’s going on!
"Tang Keke, Zhao Qing! Look here! My little dragon cub is back!"
"It's really Wu Jian! How could he do that?"
"Ah!" Then!
Tang Keke subconsciously caught the thing thrown by the little dragon cub, and when she looked closely, she found that it was a token.
Then, the voice of the optical computer sounded in my mind.
[Player Tang Keke has been wanted by Death Beast City! ]
A scavenger emerged from the ruins of the Death Beast City and once again blocked the monster rushing towards the abyss.
Before Tang Keke could react, she heard the little dragon's howling.
"Ah!" Quickly give the token in your hand to someone else!
Tang Keke quickly threw it to Zhao Qing. As the voice of the light brain sounded, a scavenger emerged from the ruins again.
As the optical computer ignored the warning, more and more scavenger beasts appeared.
They stand like a stabilizing force at the edge of the abyss, blocking wave after wave of beasts for the players.
Until all the players are rescued.
With the last wave of beasts
When the monster came, Wu Jian saw Ira, Moss and others in front of it, howling.
Ila's ears were so sensitive that when Wu Jian was howling, he accurately saw the figure of the little dragon cub and the token thrown over.
[Player Ira has been wanted by Death Beast City. ]
The voice of the optical brain sounded in front, and a huge scavenger emerged from the ruins, blocking the monster behind him.
While he was in a daze, Moss cleverly got the little dragon's idea and snatched the token from Ira's hand, until a scavenger stood in front of him, blocking most of the power of the monsters.
After using the token, Moss gave it to someone else.
"Pass on the life-saving stuff!"
The players suddenly realized what was going on and quickly grabbed the tokens.
With the appearance of one giant scavenger beast after another, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ira noticed the little cub on the scavenger's head, its wings dragging unnaturally, and couldn't help frowning. She took a few steps forward, picked up the cub in her arms, and jumped down easily.
"Dumes, help him check his wings."
"OK."
After a patient inspection by Dumes, it was found that the cub's wing was only broken and needed to be taken good care of.
When Ila heard that the cub's wing was broken, his expression was obviously dissatisfied.
"Why are you injured again? Where's He Nuo? Didn't that guy say he would take good care of you?"
After not hearing the cub's answer for a long time, Ila looked at the cub.
When he saw the cub's red eyes, he stopped talking.
"Ah." He Nuo and the star beast fell into the abyss. Is it impossible to collect the energy cube crystals?
Ira was silent for a long time before sighing, "The energy in Training Ground No. 3 has been depleted. That's why the Star Beasts devoured the Demon Beasts, triggering a beast tide. Without the command of the female Star Beast, perhaps we still have a chance."
Everyone looked at Ira.
Ira said: "The cub's token was very timely. Using the scavenger just blocked the monsters and gave us a lot of opportunities."
Moss resisted the urge to splash cold water on Ira.
"Don't forget, there are less than five minutes left before the laser cannon fires. There's no chance at all."
Moss is right, it’s not that there is no opportunity to refute, but that there is not enough time.
"The Star Beast is coming!"
Someone pointed at a dusty place not far away and shouted in horror.
Wu Jian saw a vast expanse of white, which was the mole star beast rushing forward.
Without the command of the secondary female star beast, the mole cubs ate the empty
Energy. Without energy to consume, groundhog pups can only crawl out of their burrows to the surface in search of energy.
A large number of magical beasts gathered where Wu Jian and the others were, and the groundhog pups, sensing the energy, followed the scent.
From all directions, thousands and thousands of them evolved into the latest wave of star beasts.
Even with the scavengers as their walls, the attacks of the star beasts all over the mountains and plains could only be temporarily stopped. Moreover, the laser cannons were about to cover them, leaving them with no way to escape, and despair rose naturally.
Everyone present turned pale.
"It's over, it's over, we're all going to die here!"
"Wow, wow, I don't want to die, who will save me?"
"I regret it now. I shouldn't have been so greedy and participated in the interstellar competition!"
At this time, the voice of the optical computer machine sounded.
[Attention everyone! The laser cannon coverage lasts for ten seconds. Please find the energy cube as soon as possible to open the passage!]
【10, 9, 85, 4】
The ground collapsed and Wu Jian was forced to fall into the dark abyss.
Just when he thought he was going to die, suddenly, a hand grabbed him.
Wu Jian opened his eyes and met a pair of golden eyes and the other person's unique low laugh.
"Hold tight!"
After Wu Jian came back to his senses, he found that He Nuo was standing on the head of a golden-haired star beast, and the tentacles of the golden-haired star beast were firmly attached to both sides of the cliff, and it was steadily stopped above the abyss.
"Ah!" He Ge, you're not dead! That's great!
He Nuo habitually rubbed Wu Jian's dragon horn and jokingly said, "If I die, I will definitely drag you down with me."
"He Nuo, don't even think about taking advantage of the little cub. If you want to die, die on your own!" Ira scolded him with a smile, then asked, "Have you found the Energy Cube?"
He Nuo threw the last crystal to Ira.
Ila said, "Tsk tsk, who on earth are you? You can actually take crystals out of female star beasts. I've never heard of a ruthless person like you appearing on Sirius. But never mind, I'll make friends with you. Let's play games together next time."
When the three crystals collided, a blue light was emitted, and they merged into a triangular Rubik's Cube, and a door opened.
"The passage, the passage is open!"
All the players suppressed their excitement and jumped into the passage.
After his teammates jumped into the passage, Ila said to the little dragon cub, "Little cub, I look forward to seeing you in the next game."
After he jumps into the passage
, the voice of the optical computer sounded again.
【Death Beast City (Completed)】
[Relocate all native creatures from Training Ground No. 3.]
【Laser cannon is coming soon! 】
Listening to the voice of the optical computer, Wu Jian found that his body was emitting blue light and his claws were gradually disappearing.
The dragon's horns were rubbed again.
Wu Jian looked up at He Nuo.
"Oh?" Brother He, what's wrong with you?
He Nuo smiled and avoided the topic.
"Little dragon cub is looking forward to seeing you next time."
Wu Jian quickly took off the bracelet and handed it to He Nuo.
"Oh." Brother He gives it to you!
He Nuo took the bracelet and put it on the little dragon's paw again, "This is for you, take good care of it."
Wu Jian wanted to ask more questions when he felt a smooth touch on his face. Turning his head, he saw the golden-haired star beast caressing his face with its tentacles reluctantly.
【Mother. 】
The little dragon cub disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only He Nuo and the Golden Horned Star Beast still in the training ground. As long as they looked up, they could see the purple-red laser cannon falling from the sky.
He Nuo knocked his head, and a blue light brain flew out of his brain, automatically turning off the live broadcast.
"It's time to go."
The golden-haired star beast ignored He Nuo and continued to whisper the word "Mom".
He Nuo's body was shining with golden light, and the golden giant beast was included in it.
When the laser cannon hit Training Ground No. 3, the passage was completely closed.
All players' live broadcast rooms will be completely closed when they leave Training Ground No. 3.
Wu Jian blinked and found himself in the familiar alley again.
There is also the sound of the mechanical light brain broadcasting in my head.
[Player Wu Jian, Level 1: Death Beast City (Completed)
The online reward amount is 555555, which is equivalent to 3150 StarCoins.
Comprehensive rewards: Bracelet space upgrade x2, necklace space x1, three enhancers, 300 energy stones, etc.
[Player Wu Jian has returned to Blue Star. The journey has ended. Thank you for your experience. See you next time!]
Wu Jian looked at the graffiti on the wall and blinked in disbelief.
Am I back?
but!
Why hasn’t my body returned to normal yet? Oh my god!
Wu Jian picked up a cardboard box from the trash can and put it on his head. He carefully avoided people and climbed through the pipe into the rental house.
Lying in bed, I don’t want to move at all. No place is better than my own doghouse.
To avoid being watched, he will not leave the rental house before the second level of the game starts!
Fortunately, I am used to stockpiling food, and the food in the refrigerator is enough for me to eat for a week. I should be able to wait until the second level begins.
Thinking of this, Wu Jian didn't want to move even more.
He buried himself in the quilt, curled up into a small ball, and fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time.
A high-definition video of a little dragon cub, wrapped in a cardboard box, stealthily poking its head out from the corner of an alley and clumsily climbing a pipe, appeared in the meeting room of China's top management.
One of the old men, who was carrying a general star on his shoulder, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Could it be that this little cub didn't notice the staff nearby who were welcoming the participating players?"
Zhang Qian, who was in charge of the selection process, suppressed a smile and explained, "The staff were nearby, but the cub was running so fast that the staff couldn't catch up."
The old general waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let him rest. I'll send someone to check on him tomorrow."
All players who have been excluded from the competition will undergo a physical examination upon their return.
On the one hand, it is for the players' health consideration, and on the other hand, we are worried that players will bring back some dangerous bacteria. To avoid infection, disinfection is necessary.
Then, unexpectedly, a bug occurred with Wu Jian. He ran too fast and the staff couldn't catch up with him, so they had to report the matter to the headquarters first.
The old general gave the order, and the staff near Wu Jian's home evacuated one after another.
Wu Jian, who had no idea about this, slept soundly.
When Wu Jian woke up again, it was already the morning of the third day.
He slept for two whole days, and when he woke up, his bones were weak.
Wu Jian stretched and poked his round head out from under the quilt. His scarlet eyes, filled with tears, opened. The sunlight outside the window was so dazzling that he quickly closed his eyes. It took him a while to adapt.
To be honest, he hadn't seen such a warm sun for a long time.
Wu Jian couldn't help but lie down again to sunbathe.
An hour later.
He got up and went to the bathroom, jumped onto the sink, and observed his wings.
It must be said that his wings had been plagued by misfortunes, having been injured no less than three times. Fortunately, his body was still small, and with the help of the healing agent Dumez had given him, his wings had almost healed.
Although I can't fly for the time being, it should be no problem to flutter around a few times.
Wu Jian opened his mouth and saw only one or two teeth the size of rice grains. He couldn't help but sigh.
His body is really too small now and his teeth haven't grown in yet.
Wu Jian squeezed a little toothpaste and brushed his teeth with difficulty. It took him five minutes just to brush his teeth, and he was sweating profusely.
Really, it’s so hard for the little dragon!
After washing up, Wu Jian took out his mobile phone, which he hadn't used for a long time, and searched for auxiliary cub robots online. When he saw the price, he decisively turned off the phone.
A robot that helps babies cost tens of thousands of dollars. Isn't that a steal? Better to just make your own.
Wu Jian thought indignantly.
He pushed a stool over, jumped on it, opened the refrigerator, found a bag of frozen dumplings, and dragged a corner of the bag into the kitchen. He jumped onto the sink, holding the frying pan and filled it with some water, but this amount of water was definitely not enough to boil the dumplings.
Wu Jian jumped down from the sink again, found a plastic cup to collect water and poured it into the frying pan, turned on the fire switch, and poured in the dumplings.
After a few minutes of cooking, the dumplings were all cooked into a lump. Wu Jianla shrugged his head. After becoming a small child, he couldn't do anything right. Even the dumplings were cooked into a lump. He was such a failure as a cub.
He missed He Nuo very much. At least the food He Nuo made could keep him full.
Just when Wu Jian was feeling depressed, there was a knock on the door.
Wu Jian subconsciously cried out "Who is it?", and suddenly remembered that he was no longer a human, but just a cub. Without the interstellar translator, no one could understand him, right?
He quickly covered his mouth with his paws.
"Hello Mr. Wu Jian, we are supernatural law enforcers."
The Supernatural Law Enforcers is a department that was derived from the department to specifically manage the supernatural people who participate in live broadcast competitions.
Wu Jian turned off the fire, jumped off the stove, ran to the door, looked through the peephole and saw two men in uniform at the door, turned the door lock and opened the door.
"Oh." Can you understand what I say?
The law enforcer nodded his earphone and said with a kind smile, "We have an interstellar translator, so of course we can understand what Mr. Wu Jian is saying."
"Oh." What do you want to ask?
The law enforcer squatted down, trying to make eye contact with Wu Jian to give him a sense of security, and said, "Mr. Wu Jian, can you go somewhere with us first? I promise to bring you back safely in a short while."
Wu Jian looked at him and did not answer him immediately.
Another female law enforcer also squatted down and said gently: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu Jian, we will have video recordings of the whole process, don't worry.
I’m scared.”
Wu Jian was not afraid, but was considering whether to eat the mushy dumpling first, or leave with them first?
He still has great trust in law enforcement officers.
This trust may come from the fact that after his adoptive parents passed away, he came to a big city alone to go to school and was cheated. A kind law enforcement officer gave him a few hundred yuan for living expenses to help him get through that difficult time.
Wu Jian came back to his senses, looked at the sincere eyes of the two law enforcement officers, and touched his flat stomach.
"Oh." Let's go.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and quickly invited Wu Jian to come downstairs.
Wu Jian was worried that his appearance would scare the residents, so he simply jumped into the pocket of the male law enforcement officer. After he got in the car, he jumped into the back seat and sat there.
The car drove quickly and finally stopped in front of a magnificent building.
Wu Jian followed the law enforcer, turning left and right, and finally arrived at a place full of technology.
He saw a man. Not long ago, Blue Star received the good news of being invited to the interstellar live broadcast, and this old general also appeared on the live news.
"Hello, Wu Jian. Let me introduce myself. My last name is Li, and you can call me Grandpa Li." He nodded at the headset and frowned. "This is my first time using this thing, and it's really uncomfortable."
Perhaps it was General Li's familiarity that interrupted the awkwardness of the scene.
Wu Jian scratched his little wings with his claws to hide his embarrassment and howled twice.
"Oh." Hello, Grandpa Li.
General Li nodded and said, "Hello, hello."
"Oh." Is it Grandpa Li who wants to see me?
General Li nodded, "Of course, you are the first cub to survive with all the Chinese players. Thank you."
Wu Jian twisted his chubby body a little embarrassedly.
"Ah." I didn't do anything. It was He Nuo, not me, who saved everyone's life.
General Li said, "No, if you hadn't used that token, they would have died in the beast tide long ago, so Grandpa has to thank you."
Wu Jian was very confused.
“Oh?” Weren’t there many people who passed the level before?
General Li sighed. "Only one in ten survives. Compared to other interstellar civilizations, we are very weak and relatively weak in the competition. Having only one in ten people capable is already very good."
General Li was right. Among countless interstellar civilizations, their Blue Star could only be considered the weaker side. Especially since they were in urgent need of energy planets to rescue Blue Star, time was of the essence.
Often in short supply.
Ever since it was announced that people with special abilities are free to participate in competitions, one can feel that the country is racing against time.
Is Blue Planet's energy really running out?
Wu Jian thought pessimistically, which was rare for him.
General Li had lived for most of his life, so how could he not understand the little cub's thoughts? He said, "Don't worry, Blue Star Energy can still last until the end of your competition."
Wu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but his stomach growled uncontrollably. He instinctively covered his stomach, blushing a little in embarrassment.
Although his cheek scales covered his entire face and you couldn't tell whether his face was red or not, it was still quite embarrassing.
General Li was stunned when he heard the rumbling sound coming from the little dragon cub's abdomen. Then he smiled and said, "I'll excuse you for the examination first. I'll take you to the cafeteria for dinner later, okay?"
Wu Jian's ears turned red. Before he woke up, he was already an adult, but the old general treated him like a child. He felt very ashamed!
At this time, Wu Jian was already lying on the bed in the laboratory. A group of elderly people who could be his grandparents were looking at him with shining eyes, taking notes in their hands, and talking to themselves from time to time.
"After awakening, it actually reversed and turned into a cub. It's amazing."
"This is the first time someone has awakened their cub form, and it's even a throwback to the old century. Look at these scales, they actually reflect light. Um, isn't the tail a little bald?"
"The cub was hunted by the Sotayar, a civilization of alien beasts, in the game. The scales on its tail can't be restored for now, but they might grow back as the cub grows. The tail has feathers. Speaking of which, it doesn't look like a Western dragon, but rather resembles a rare species from ancient mythology. We'll have to examine it to find out."
Wu Jian couldn't help yawning as he listened to the chatter of the elderly. After a series of inspections were completed, General Li, who was waiting at the door, took Wu Jian to the cafeteria.
General Li explained to the group of elderly people, "Isn't that scary? They don't mean any harm, they're just being serious about this."
Wu Jian shook his head.
A man and a dragon came to the cafeteria, and the staff prepared a rich and nutritious meal for the little dragon and placed it in front of him.
General Li said, "I don't know what you like, so I asked the kitchen to make some more and give it a try."
Wu Jian looked at the delicious dishes in front of him and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Oh." Thank you, Grandpa Li.
Wu Jian buried his head in his food and ate hard.
Under everyone's gaze, the little cub, only the size of a palm, actually ate more than
He had ten times more food than usual, so General Li, who had seen a lot of things, couldn't help but repeatedly ask him if he was feeling unwell and whether he needed a doctor.
After Wu Jian finished eating all the dishes, he touched his stomach and felt that he was only half full.
He is a little shy.
"Oh?" Anything else?
General Li asked in shock, "Are you still not full?"
Wu Jian nodded slightly.
General Li asked someone to bring another pile of meat dishes. Judging from the little cub's eating habits, he preferred meat dishes, so General Li simply asked someone to serve meat dishes.
Most of the meat dishes are made of minced meat and meat paste, which is also to prevent the little cubs from overeating. The chef in the kitchen has put a lot of effort into it.
After Wu Jian finished eating, his examination report came out.
He looked at his examination report with wide eyes.
"Oh. Are you saying I'm a descendant of Yinglong?
The researcher in a white coat explained: "This is the initial inference, but it will take some time to confirm."
Yinglong?
Wu Jian looked at the line of words "Blood Veins" on the examination report in front of him again.
[Suspected to be an ancient mythical species, a descendant of Yinglong, with a genetic fusion rate of 10%. Due to the young age of the cub, further research is needed.]
Is he really not a human being?
Wu Jian couldn't help but wonder.
"We need to draw a little bit of your blood, is that okay with you?"
The research expert looked at Wu Jian carefully.
Wu Jian swallowed his saliva and couldn't help shivering when thinking about the slicing in the novel.
The research expert quickly explained: "It's not what you think. We'll just draw a little blood. We won't do anything else. Don't worry about that."
Wu Jian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't slice himself into pieces, everything would be fine!
He followed the research expert to have some blood drawn. When he came out, it was General Li's assistant who was waiting for him because General Li had suddenly left for something.
Wu Jian didn't think much of this. It was a great honor for him to have a person of General Li's rank accompany him for dinner.
General Li's assistant, whose surname is Wang, said to Wu Jian, "Anything you bring out of the game can be sold. For example, the energy stones you have are very valuable. I thought Mr. Wu Jian might need to exchange them, so I couldn't help but mention this. I hope you don't mind."
Wu Jian shook his head violently and looked at Assistant Wang with his big red eyes.
"Oh." No, not at all. And I want to thank you for reminding me of that.
Assistant Wang smiled and said, "Okay. What would you like to exchange, Mr. Wu Jian? One-star Energy Stones (20 stones) are worth 10,000 Chinese Yuan, two-star Energy Stones (10 stones) are worth 100,000 Chinese Yuan, three-star Energy Stones (5 stones) are worth 1,000,000 Chinese Yuan, and four-star Energy Stones (1-4 stones) and above are worth anywhere from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 Chinese Yuan."
Wu Jian took out a total of thirty energy stones ranging from one to three stars from the energy stones and gave them to Assistant Wang.
Assistant Wang counted the energy stones and transferred them to Wu Jian's account.
Looking at the text message sent by mobile banking, Wu Jian's mouth almost stretched to his ears.
"If you have items like energy stones in the future, you can exchange them with me," Assistant Wang reminded.
Wu Jian suddenly remembered something and took it out from his space bracelet.
"Oh." This is the reward after completing the task. It's a necklace that only occupies a space of about ten square meters. I wonder if you need it.
Assistant Wang's eyes lit up when he saw the space necklace in Wu Jian's hand.
"Mr. Wu Jian, please wait a moment. I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll go find someone."
Assistant Wang took Wu Jian to a small conference room to rest while he went to look for someone.
After a while, Assistant Wang came back, followed by a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
"Mr. Wu Jian, are you sure you want to sell this space necklace?"
Wu Jian nodded.
The man with glasses said, "The price of space necklaces varies. A necklace of Mr. Wu Jian's level can be fetched for around 50 million."
Wu Jian widened his eyes. The poor guy had never seen so much money.
"Oh." Um, can I buy a house with this necklace?
When his adoptive parents were alive, they always said that if they were ten years younger, they could help him buy a house in a big city. Because they kept saying this, Wu Jian became very stubborn about buying a house.
If he had not been forced to participate in the competition, he might have been able to buy a three-bedroom apartment with the money in his account if he saved for a few more years.
Assistant Wang and the man with glasses exchanged glances, and the man nodded, "Of course."
Wu Jian readily stuffed the necklace into the arms of the man with glasses.
Although he was reluctant to give up the sparkling necklace, the money given by the country was too much!
The man with glasses said, "We will send Mr. Wu Jian pictures of the houses later for him to choose from."
Wu Jian nodded vigorously. He just liked this kind of directness!
Both parties were very happy and the deal was settled, and then Assistant Wang spoke.
"Wu
Mr. Jian, someone wants to see you."
——
Wu Jian sat in the small conference room waiting for Assistant Wang to bring the person who wanted to see him.
After a while, Assistant Wang came back.
Behind him, two law enforcers came in handcuffing a middle-aged man.
Wu Jian stopped smiling after the middle-aged man came in, and almost couldn't help but give him two bites.
Assistant Wang said, "When Mr. Wu Jian first entered the game, we noticed you. We discovered you were just an ordinary person. Generally speaking, ordinary people can't apply for the right to participate in the live broadcast. Later, we investigated Zhao Li and found that his son, Zhao Mingming, had applied to participate, but he himself did not enter the competition."
"Oh." Why?
Wu Jian didn't understand. He just bought some food to take home, so why did he suffer such an unexpected disaster?
Zhao Li lowered his head and apologized in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, I really have no other choice. My family has been a single-line family for three generations, and I only have this one son. I didn't want him to die, so I came up with this method. I'm really sorry. If you want to arrest someone, just arrest me. It has nothing to do with my son. He's still young, and I just applied for it for fun."
Assistant Wang interrupted Zhao Li, "Younger? According to our investigation, your son is already 29 years old, seven years older than Mr. Wu Jian. How can you have the nerve to say that?"
Zhao Li's lips trembled, and he finally lowered his head in shame.
"Ah." Your son is a treasure, but other people's children are not? Why should others bear the consequences of your son's sins?
Zhao Li whispered: "You, you are not dead, are you?"!
