Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1174 1146: Useless Dog System
There's no reason!
Where in the world are there so many reasons?
Chen Fei didn't want to answer such a stupid question, he just glanced at the blonde girl and said irritably, "Think for yourself!"
Can an A-level Psychic Ability User who can glimpse into the human heart not understand it? This is just being stuck in a loop!
Despite having many questions himself, not any fewer than anyone else, like why is he the only one facing the "Sagali" civilization directly so far? What is the "Lord of the Sky" doing? What hidden cards does the Slan Dynasty of Cangqiong Star hold? Do the Blue Star Sovereignties also secretly analyze and explore the "Sagali" civilization?... There are just too many such questions.
But often, it's better to keep those questions to oneself because the world seems to have some observer effect. Any action might trigger unpredictable chain reactions, so before gathering enough clues, it's best not to act rashly.
This mindset is not innate for Chen Fei but was forced out by the damned tasks of the Dog System. Without honing this ability, he might have been done for a long time ago.
Now the Dog System hasn't released any new tasks for a long time, the exchange of various skills is stagnant, and even the "Skill Shop" rarely updates. Occasional changes are just some useless, fancy skills.
Chen Fei suspects that the intelligence gathering mechanism of the Dog System might have a problem, making it hard to fully grasp the current situation. Without being able to provide a correct assessment, it's difficult to issue new tasks.
If suddenly given a task that only rewards 1 Energy Point but is a 100% death mission, only a fool would accept it. Or if asked to randomly slap a "Sagali" and then rewarded with 1,000,000 Energy Points, only a fool would refuse, so it makes no sense at all. The Dog System isn't stupid.
However, the old tasks are still hanging there.
The first task: "Kill Dragon Knight Lin Mo (Mo Lin), gain 9,999,999 Energy Points!"
The second task: "Devour 1 ton of metal, gain +1 Energy Point (daily task)"
So much so that Chen Fei once suspected the Dog System had crashed.
Sent to the prison staff quarters (the VIP cell was gone), Chen Fei began trying to call the Dog System.
Because he made Theo the economic criminal disappear, the trouble he caused didn't seem so bad. There was no way he was getting out anytime soon, but given the hope he might defect the "Sagali" Civilization Envoy, he was given some preferential treatment, hinting slightly to encourage him to keep up the effort.
After taking a shower, lying in bed, he called (harassed) the Dog System for almost an hour and finally got a response.
It wasn't crashed, maybe just stuck.
System: Ding!~ Destroy the Dragon King Coin, gain 9,999,999 Energy Points!
Oh well, this is just making me idle!
Causing trouble again, another deadly proposition. How much does the Dog System despise Chen Xiao'er?
If he were capable of taking down the Dragon King, would Chen Fei even care about those nearly ten million Energy Points?
That gutsy senior Theo swindled a trillion Star Yuan from the Dragon King Coin, isn't that a tempting sum? Using it to buy scrap iron and exchange it for Energy Points would likely be more than ten million, right?
Destroying the Dragon King? One must be out of their mind.
It's certain the Dog System is not majoring in economics, Chen Xiao'er can confirm this.
Chen Fei never thought that if he shouted "Kill the Dragon King" in Sky Dragon City, he wouldn't know how many dragons would hand him a knife.
Continuing to call the Dog System, even the system tray in front of him disappeared, it wasn't as handy as the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam".
Picking up the landline again, this time without external call restrictions, Chen Fei casually dialed a number, and the eavesdropping team immediately pricked up their ears.
Even though knowing calls here would be monitored, Chen Fei didn't care. It's not like it's a big secret, nothing worth keeping under wraps.
"Hi, Yilan! I..."
Chen Fei just opened his mouth, about to say something when he was interrupted by the voice of the female Metallic Dragon Yilan, followed by a barrage of words.
"Eh? Chen Fei? My Dragon Knight, when are you coming to ride me!"
Chen Fei: "..."
He was simply struck dumb, while the eavesdropping team was in an upheaval the next second.
Damn, what explosive news, this Dragon Knight is surely not a surprise, but a shock, even a scare. Hastily, they reconfirmed the communication number's owner, undoubtedly a juvenile Metallic Dragon of the Cangqiong Star Dragon Clan.
What's wrong with the idea of abduction? Why do you have to abduct a juvenile giant dragon, and it has to be the Dragon of Slaughter, the audacity is up to this level, what's it to monopolize a Life Planet, making a billion Star Yuan vanish from the Dragon King is not even a thing anymore.
Those who tapped into this conversation were collectively dumbfounded.
The Dragon Knight legacy was completely severed forty years ago, and all dragon flutes representing related contracts were retrieved and collectively destroyed, so there are no more Dragon Knights now.
In the past, the need for Dragon Knights was due to the need for highly mobile strong combat power within Cangqiong Star's atmosphere, the combination of Dragon Knight and Giant Dragon could exert a combat power multiplier effect greater than one plus one, but now the space fissures in the Outer Heaven Battlefield of Cangqiong Star have been transformed into the "Halo" Dimensional Gate connecting to Blue Star, coupled with the widespread use of Light Wing Ship and Void Ship, the ancient troop breed of Dragon Knight is no longer needed.
This conversation cannot be overheard by Sky Dragon City, otherwise, it would cause a major issue, Dragon Slayer is Dragon Slayer, Dragon Knight is Dragon Knight, the Dragon Clan can accept the former but can no longer accept the latter, because the proud giant dragons can be killed but not humiliated.
If word gets out, it's not just about diplomatic disputes, the dragons might collectively charge to Blue Star, insisting on tearing Chen Fei apart alive.
Before Chen Fei is taken down by the dragons, even Habulav, or the Heavy Criminal Prison could suffer losses from the wrath, humans simply can't reason with the dragons, they just don't have the same kind of mindset.
Chen Fei sighed deeply and said: "Yilan, I'm not a Dragon Knight, you don't have a Dragon Knight, don't let others hear such words, or I might lose my life."
The Dragon Clan won't do anything to the naive young dragons, but they will absolutely do something to him as an adult, whether steamed or braised, just don't add cilantro.
"Ah! Okay, okay! I won't mention it again, but I still think this way in my heart, you must know."
Yilan wanted to convey her sincere sentiments to Chen Fei, this isn't a joke, it's serious.
Chen Fei said with a disgruntled tone: "You're reading too many knight novels; you should learn from other Metallic Dragons, put the books aside, fight hundreds of battles, and then you won't think so much."
Cursing, not loving studies, being greedy, fighting, these are the correct lifestyle for Metallic Dragons.
If Yilan were human, then a powerful Dragon Knight should save the Princess from the Demon King, and the family would have a happy ending, but she is a giant dragon, so it turns into dragging the Dragon Knight to beat up the Demon King eight times over, not knowing if this unfortunate Demon King has bought worker's compensation insurance, and what's the Princess deal anyway, might as well beat her up too, such bizarre style is incomprehensible to humans, yet dragons think this is perfectly natural.
"But I've already conquered all opponents in the Dragon Breeding Garden, no other dragon is my match."
Yilan's voice was filled with embarrassment, seeking defeat but finding none, having beaten them all up, feeling guilty of bullying them again.
The juvenile dragons beaten to rolling around aren't just fellow Metallic Dragons, the young dragons of other factions honor Yilan as the Big Sister and it's not without reason.
Adult dragons simply ignore this arrogant young dragon, after all, the age and strength gap is evident, Yilan couldn't even break their defenses, too inadequate even for scratching an itch.
Probably because she found no opponents, she had to resort to reading books to pass the idle energy and time, Chen Fei was shocked by such a speculation.
"I can understand, let's talk business, do you know about the economic situation in Sky Dragon City?"
Chen Fei couldn't continue arguing with Yilan, he simply couldn't take the lead in this kind of topic, so he decided to return to the main point, stating the purpose of making this call.
"No idea, but I can now take a look."
Yilan's dragon eyes began to drop countless data like a waterfall, the vast data stream lasted only momentarily, then vanished.
She downloaded a financial report from Sky Dragon City, not looking at detailed accounts, just reviewing the last statistical figures.
"Got it, Sky Dragon City's finances are showing a significant deficit, ah! I'll look at others."
The data stream appeared again, after a moment, Chen Fei heard Yilan's exclamation.
"Dragon King intends to mortgage Sky Dragon City to borrow, to cover the deficit loss, the Dragon Clan is going bankrupt!"
Unexpected yet unsurprising, Chen Fei looked as if he saw it coming.
"It's indeed like this!"
No need to talk about the Dragon Clan, just referring to Sky Dragon City, financial crisis have been going on for years, no matter how strong the foundation was, it's all squandered by this current Dragon King, Dragon King Coin has become a major cash crop, cut mercilessly, with a huge appetite for dragon wealth, hence dubbed "Money-Spreading Dragon King," receiving a top five-star rating in financial circles.
One trillion Star Yuan isn't a small sum, whoever gets drained of such a huge 'blood,' won't die but will be severely weakened, it's fortunate it was accumulated wealth of the Dragon Clan over countless years, otherwise, it wouldn't have lasted this long, showing bankruptcy now, their immense foundation is truly surprising.
"Let it go bankrupt then! Anyway, the tuition and living expenses of juvenile dragons are covered by the Silan Royal Family, Sky Dragon City going bankrupt has nothing to do with me, maybe when I reach adulthood, Sky Dragon City's finances might turn around!"
Yilan had a big heart, initially shocked but soon indifferent, this wasn't what juvenile dragons should be worrying about.
If the sky falls, the Dragon King would bear it, if the Dragon King couldn't bear it, the elders would, if even the elders couldn't bear it, the Silan Dynasty must take responsibility, no matter how it's, it doesn't concern the young dragons like Yilan, she only needs to eat, drink, play, sleep, and grow happily.
