Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 179

Then Lu Mingfei would have to find another way, since he had promised Constantine that he would definitely have to resolve the issues with Old Tang and Norton.

Lu Mingfei started calling for Lu Mingze to come back to work.

The little devil appeared pale-faced, like an ordinary man who had worked hard all night.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

“Norton has shrunk back into Old Tang’s body. Was this clause included in what you said before?” Lu Mingfei asked.

"No," Lu Mingze said, shrugging and shaking his head. "But brother, I'm already overwhelmed with dealing with Constantine's affairs. I don't have time to deal with Norton and Old Tang right now. Just make sure Old Tang doesn't eat too much during this time. The Dragon King needs energy to rebuild his body. If we don't provide Norton with energy, we don't know when he'll wake up again."

Hearing Lu Mingze's explanation, Lu Mingfei nodded and asked, "When will Constantine's side be ready?"

“It will take some more time,” Lu Mingze said.

"Can it really be fixed?"

Lu Mingfei didn't know why, but he had a feeling that the little devil was holding back again? But he had no evidence.

Because the system analyzed the feeling when using that Dragon King card before, it can only be said that it is very strong, but compared to others, it still has flaws and limitations, and has not reached the point of being omnipotent.

That's normal, though. If the little devil could really make himself omnipotent, then the little devil himself could also be truly omnipotent. If he could really be omnipotent, then why would he need to cheat and deceive a high school student?

Lu Mingze nodded: "It will definitely be done, brother, you can rest assured. It's just that I need some time to make it. After all, it's quite troublesome to rebuild Constantine's body."

Reshaping a body is troublesome? Lu Mingfei and the system silently downgraded the little devil's level again.

After all, Nidhogg the Black King was one of the eight dragon kings who created the White King and the four thrones... Lu Mingze even had difficulty creating a normal human body for Constantine, so... can the little devil really help him pull the Black King off the throne?

Lu Mingfei was uncertain. After all, he didn't know whether the Black King was truly dead or not. All he could say was that, based on the strength the Dragon Kings were displaying now, the Dragon King-level power he had experienced before was enough to sweep away all eight Dragon Kings.

After discussing the main points, the little devil immediately left.

[...He seemed to be in a hurry, why?...]

Is it really that difficult to recreate a body for Constantine?

The system silently analyzed the situation and then thoughtfully recorded all of the little devil's actions.

Ultimately, for Lu Mingfei, the greatest danger wasn't slaying dragons. After all, dragons could be avoided. If he simply couldn't slay a dragon, he could find a dragon king and kneel down to him at lightning speed, still having a chance to get protection and survive.

The little devil has a mysterious background and is incredibly skilled at using dreams. He's also keeping a close eye on Lu Mingfei, so he's clearly not someone to mess with. We need to keep a close eye on him to prevent him from causing any trouble.

The system had been silently analyzing for a short while when Xia Mi returned.

She said, "Boss, Chu Zihang's father is not in good condition. This level of complete amnesia is probably not easy to resolve."

The system nodded: "I know. We'll have someone study Chu Tianjiao to see if we can find a solution or discover any other uses for him."

Xia Mi naturally turned her gaze to Old Tang, who was scratching his scalp: "Where's Old Tang? Does our chief alchemist have any solutions?"

"There's no way," Old Tang said decisively, shaking his head. "I haven't even started my research in this area yet, and besides forging weapons and armor for the boss, I'm more interested in researching hair-saving agents to save my hair..."

"Hair growth agent? Hmm?" When Xia Mi heard Lao Tang mention this, she seemed to remember something and said, "The market for hair growth agents is also very broad. People all over the world are troubled by baldness. If you can develop one, Lao Tang, you can not only solve your own problem, but also make a lot of money."

"Uh-huh……"

Old Tang seemed a little distracted by the topic of making big money.

Right now, he doesn't really care much about making money; he's completely focused on his hair loss problem...

Looking at the hard-boiled hair on his head, he wondered if there was a way to quickly add body hair. Wearing fake eyebrows or a wig was not out of the question.

Although it won't look very natural, it's still better than going out to meet Xiaoyuan with a hard-boiled egg on your head, right?

"Boss, aren't you going to take this Dragon Bone Cross back and put it away?" Xia Mi thought for a moment and then asked, "Old Tang, have you ever considered becoming a hybrid? Right, there's a Dragon Bone Cross that can extract pure dragon blood, isn't there? Maybe after you become a high-level hybrid, the powerful regenerative ability of hybrids can make your fur grow back?"

Old Tang rolled his eyes: "You can only fool others with that, but do you think you can fool me? Just by looking at the growth rate of mixed-race people's hair, you can tell that the body's repair speed has little impact on the external hair."

"It's hard to say." Xia Mi stroked her smooth chin. "When ordinary, low-level hybrids are injured, their recovery speed isn't much faster than that of ordinary people. Most of the hybrids you've seen are ordinary hybrids. But have you ever seen the hair recovery speed of a super hybrid with a next-generation bloodline?"

"Oh? How so?" Old Tang asked, "You're also from the super hybrid bloodline series, how does it feel?"

"Not really." Xia Mile spread her hands and said, "What you said is indeed correct. The hair growth rate of hybrids is almost unaffected by bloodline. Of course, I'm talking about the super hybrids I know, such as me and Erii. I don't know if others have this ability."

"But Old Tang, you're pretty unlucky. All the hair on your body was burned off. Otherwise, you could probably get a hair transplant. Where were you standing in the Nibelungen? How did you end up in such a terrible state?"

Seeing that Xia Mi was joking, Old Tang immediately withdrew his attention, pursed his lips and said, "I don't know where I am. Anyway, a burst of fire shot into the sky, and then I lost consciousness. Then the boss woke me up."

"Then how did you get into Nibelungen, Old Tang?" Xia Mi pressed. "According to Chu Zihang, even if Nibelungen is open, only those who are invited can enter. If you didn't receive an invitation from Odin, you probably wouldn't have been able to get in. What was your situation back then?"

"What could have happened to me? I finished working overtime at the smelter, went back to the dormitory to sleep, and then that was it. Before I even closed my eyes, I found myself in an incredibly quiet city."

Old Tang tried to scratch his head, but ended up stroking his smooth bald head instead...

"Oh."

Xia Mi nodded, understanding. Old Tang must have lied; the two statements were pieced together differently, but Old Tang had indeed been invited in by Odin.

Chapter 209 Reflection

Xia Mi, who was chatting with Lao Tang, had no intention of leaving. She just wanted to know where Lu Mingfei had placed Constantine's dragon bone cross.

After all, Constantine was theoretically his brother, and that wasn't just a rounded-up relationship, but a genuine blood relationship!

She didn't need more money; she just wanted to know how her brother was doing after his death...

But Lu Mingfei just sat there lost in thought, almost completely ignoring Xia Mi and Lao Tang's conversation.

Since the topics they were discussing were not particularly informative, they naturally did not attract the system's attention.

Xia Mi quickly realized this as well. The two people who were actually at the top of the company were talking about ordinary people's topics, like how to make money!

Others may not know why Lu Mingfei started the company, but surely he knows himself?

So she turned to ask Old Tang, "Kassel College was out killing the Servant, Odin is Chu Tianjiao, and he and you were rescued by the boss, but Norton's escape didn't attract any attention at all?"

"no."

Old Tang honestly shook his head. After all, being brought back by his boss hadn't attracted much attention, unlike his boss who flew to Binhai and made a fuss because of his supersonic flight...

"This..." Xia Mi pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know why we're going to the Three Gorges area?"

"I know, let's get that dragon and the Bronze City!"

At this point, Old Tang suddenly remembered why his boss had arrived so late to rescue him. He asked, "How is the situation in that Bronze City? Besides this dragon bone cross, have you found anything else?"

"Um……"

Xia Mi glanced at Lu Mingfei's expression.

Upon hearing this topic, the system finally paid attention to the conversation between the two people in front of it and nodded in response to Xia Mi's suggestive glance.

You can't tell Norton about Constantine, but it doesn't matter as much if you tell Donald. Norton is already burned out, so as long as Donald doesn't have it too easy, supplying Norton with ammunition shouldn't be a problem.

"We've struck it rich this time," Xia Mi said in a low voice. "We've run into a dragon king."

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Old Tang perked up, thinking he had won some prize in the Bronze City. But when he heard it was the Dragon King... his face immediately fell.

Not only did Norton sense his brother's death, but even his boss had told him that Constantine had been killed.

But this doesn't seem to be working for him!

Although he has now confirmed that the child who had been haunting his dreams and chasing after him calling him "brother" was Constantine, his current predicament is that Norton has transformed him into an unstable bomb, giving him the feeling that his body could explode at any moment...

Thinking about this, Old Tang felt uneasy and asked, "There should be people from Bronze City exploring, right? What specific findings have they made so far?"

???

He doesn't care at all about Constantine's death, but is more concerned about the legacy left by the Bronze and Fire King.

Xia Mi wondered: Did Norton run away after releasing the Candle Dragon, or did he fall asleep and die inside Old Tang's body?

She has to admit that she really wants to arrest Old Tang, draw his blood, and send him to the operating table for biopsy to study the matter in detail.

But not now… Xia Mi completely concealed her thoughts and answered Old Tang’s question, “We did send people in to explore, but so far we’ve only obtained some related dragon script and are still working hard to upload the photos for the translators to translate.”

Upon hearing that there was indeed relevant information, Old Tang immediately asked, "Can I see the specific photos of the dragon patterns?"

"Of course." Seeing Old Tang's slightly anxious look, Xia Mi felt that she shouldn't have said that.

Otherwise, if Lao Tang goes to see the dragon script in Bronze City, wouldn't it be too conspicuous for me to stay here?

However, Lao Tang still rushed off to check the dragon inscription.

However, he also took out his phone and arranged for security personnel to monitor Lao Tang.

The current Tang seems no different from the previous Tang, but his core is completely different because he has come to know the Bronze and Fire King within him...

We need to send more people to keep a close watch on Lao Tang, not only for Lao Tang's safety, but also for the peace of mind of the system and Lu Mingfei.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if Lao Tang were taken away by another force.

Xia Mi didn't follow Old Tang. Instead, she made tea for Lu Mingfei and asked, "Old Tang... is he very concerned about Bronze City? Is there anything in there that he really needs?"

"The complete set of dragon script data is the most valuable thing, enough to allow humans to have a clearer understanding of dragons." While chatting with Xia Mi, the system also said a bit more: "The complete set of dragon script data in Bronze City is probably the first set of such a large-scale dragon script data in the history of human hybrids, right?"

“Yes.” Xia Mi nodded, confirming the system’s statement, and then said, “But just because there are many dragon characters doesn’t mean they are all useful. If you look closely and find that most of them are duplicates, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”

"It shouldn't be." The system shook its head, but didn't tell Xia Mi the reason.

The system, which had been inside the Bronze City, deciphered the dragon runes it saw at an extremely fast speed. The dragon patterns recorded in these runes did not have a high degree of repetition. Moreover, the system had not yet explored the entire Bronze City; there were still large areas inscribed with dragon runes.

If it's based on the proportion of text repetition seen by the system, then they are definitely very useful.

"Alright." Seeing that Lu Mingfei didn't seem to like talking about this, Xia Mi shifted her gaze to the dragon bone cross on the ground and asked, "So what should we do with this dragon bone cross? Should we research its uses first, or should we get some Philosopher's Stone bullets to arm it?"

"Given the situation on the Yangtze River at that time, we didn't have a chance to fire. We couldn't see clearly what was happening to you and Long, boss. With only one bullet left, we didn't dare to waste it."

"But if we had more bullets and sufficient logistical losses, we might be a little bolder..."

At this point, Xia Mi paused for a moment and said, "Hmm... I think I said something but didn't? After all, you yourself can slay dragons. Now you are the first confirmed dragon slayer in history who can drop the Dragon King's Dragon Bone Cross."

"We still need to conduct some small-scale research first," the system said.

"What attempt?"

"Regarding some alchemical materials and their use, although they are all dragon bone crosses, Constantine's dragon bone cross is more precious. It's best not to touch them if possible. We can only use this dragon bone cross for preliminary experiments first."

However, the system still didn't say where to put this dragon bone cross first, or whether to store it together with Constantine's dragon bone cross... This almost made Xia Mi lose her temper. No, are they really going to keep this a secret?

Are they trying to keep their distance from me?

Thinking of this, Mi felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and instantly became much more sober.

Why did I get so anxious? It's all because Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross was too tempting! No, I need to stay calm.
