Chapter 107
Zhao Shuying had received professional training, her expression unwavering. Silently, she took out a gold coin and held it high above her head. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Yu Xunge, who had been chatting with Tu Lan just a moment ago, immediately turned her gaze toward the coin. Zhao Shuying waved the hand holding the coin like seaweed, and Yu Xunge's eyes followed the coin as it swayed from side to side.
Zhao Shuying retracted her hand and blew off the nonexistent dust on the coin. "Sigh..."
A single sigh spoke volumes.
**Chapter 137: At 25, Paying in Full for 100 Pounds of Dragon Dung**
Yu Xunge had never heard such a sarcastic "sigh" before. She bristled, "Wait! This is way too sudden! Even if you just held up a tissue, I’d look over, okay?!"
Tu Lan hesitated for a moment, thinking about how this was a powerful lone wolf from Blue Star who could defeat her. She quietly lowered her head and continued eating chicken wings, but Long, feeling uncomfortable, took a bite and let out a "sigh" of his own.
"..." Fine, you guys are impressive.
Yu Xunge gritted her teeth. "I don’t need this little bit of money."
Well, that was the truth.
Amid the laughter, the topic of the star dragon was naturally brushed aside.
The Special Affairs Bureau was very cautious in dealing with these capable lone wolves. Whether in conversation or transactions, they paid attention to the other party's feelings.
For instance, since Yu Xunge disliked taking sides and getting caught up in faction disputes, Zhao Shuying was fully responsible for liaising with her, while Wu Qingbai handled others.
Yu Xunge wasn’t angry about this little scheme from the Special Affairs Bureau. If they didn’t have even this level of strategy, and were just blindly righteous and naive all day, then she would truly start to worry…
Moreover, this was all aboveboard; they had never pressured Yu Xunge in any way.
The meal lasted two hours, and only when Tu Lan and the three little cats had their bellies full did they disperse. Before leaving, Yu Xunge even sold Zhao Shuying 100 pounds of dragon dung.
At five silver coins per pound, Zhao Shuying paid without batting an eye, securing 100 pounds of dragon dung at the age of 25.
Zhao Shuying patted the box filled with dragon dung and praised, "No wonder it’s dragon dung! It really smells good!"
Yu Xunge: "..." She knew it.
After watching one person, one dragon, and three cats drive away, Zhao Shuying finally reported the negotiation failure in the work group.
"Did you see that dragon's divine talent?"
"Icebound Throne, SS-level, but I couldn’t discern the specific skills. When I tried to analyze the talent skills with an A-level item, it broke."
She took off the chain-style earrings hanging from her ears, twirled them in her fingers, and the chain snapped in two, a layer of frost still clinging to it.
Wonder if the repairman from the bureau is back.
"They refused because they were unhappy with the compensation?"
"No, they’re worried about being bound by public opinion and moral judgment later."
"What a clever kid... Do you think that dragon listens to her?"
"They seem to have a good relationship, respecting each other and on equal footing. Given Yu Xunge's style and her attitude toward that dragon, it will definitely become her ally in the future."
"Alright, keep a close watch. Increase Yu Xunge's permissions by one level to show our sincerity. Don’t force her to do anything she doesn’t want to."
"Got it, I understand."
Yu Xunge pushed Zhao Shuying out of her mind, took Tu Lan and the cats home, unpacked a new game for Tu Lan, and refilled the snack area before heading out to find the dragon.
She didn’t know exactly where the dragon was located in the dungeon, only that it belonged to a certain faction.
So she had to search one by one…
However, just as she stepped outside, she received an email with an attachment. She thought it was a deposit from a client and opened it immediately. If she had stock, she could send it out right away; if not, she’d have to rush back to work tonight.
To her surprise, the sender was her "old friend"—Ye Dong.
The attachment was one gold coin.
"Sister Xunge! Can you help us? We’re being chased by Lin Chengze and the people from Blue City. Can you contact Xun Huan for us? We can’t reach him. Please tell him, for the sake of brotherhood, to help us talk to Lin Chengze and Blue City. We never thought things would escalate this much. We can leave S City and never come back."
Yu Xunge: 5
Yu Xunge accepted the gold coin and directly forwarded the email to Xun Huan.
Given the gold coin, she could only help this much.
This is hilarious; Xun Huan would be unlikely to help Ye Dong. He might even send someone from the Su family to help chase down Ye Dong before he leaves S City.
…
In her past life, the person who had been tricked by the dragon was the leader of a guild called "The Nameless." The members of this guild were all middle-aged uncles and aunts in their fifties, and it had a pretty good reputation.
The uncles weren’t greasy and didn’t think it was funny to harass young girls, while the aunts were kind and would take extra care of younger players during dungeons.
They might chat about topics young people didn’t want to hear, like marriage and children, but they never bullied anyone. If someone was bullied in their dungeon, they would just go find them. They were known for being fair and just, not caring about age, gender, or talent level, only addressing the matter at hand.
These people had been friends for decades, and their bonds were strong. Even though the leader had become a slave to the dragon, less than 10% of the guild members had survived.
The rest chose to stay and bear the burden with their leader.
Though they had caused quite a few laughs, they managed to soothe the dragon with their meticulous service.
But that didn’t mean the dragon was easy to appease; on the contrary, this dragon, which had lived for who knows how long, was extremely intelligent…
Long before the dragon made a pact with humans, it could have left the dungeon and entered Blue Star at any time… It had been waiting, waiting for someone with status, power, and influence—someone who wouldn’t be easily moved by others—to come find it.
And after leaving the dungeon, it didn’t rush to eat people. Whether it was members of "The Nameless" or others who came to bother the dragon, it only injured them, never killed.
In this situation, even if the dragon had a bad temper, it found amusement in tormenting the members of "The Nameless" whenever it felt even the slightest displeasure. The guild members endured it; losing face was one thing, as long as they didn’t become sinners in Blue Star, it was fine. After all, they had brought the dragon out of the dungeon.
The authorities didn’t intervene either. The dragon resided in the city center and refused to move. Surrounding it would inevitably cause massive casualties, and since it hadn’t actively killed anyone and there was no guarantee they could take it down quickly, the authorities held back.
Moreover, the dragon’s life was tied to the leader of a faction. Even though the guild token hadn’t appeared yet, and most of the guilds they established were small-time affairs, "The Nameless" had already gained some notoriety. This group of wealthy middle-aged men had formed a guild with over ninety dungeon screens, often renting them out to players.
Without an active request from "The Nameless," any intervention would likely backfire in public opinion.
It was said that when the dragon was in a good mood, it would even help that group with dungeons.
But in reality, the dragon was observing everything in Blue Star. Its assistance in dungeons was merely for its own leveling up, and it took most of the experience for itself.
Once the dragon reached level 15, it began quietly devouring members of "The Nameless," specifically targeting those with divine talents—boosting its own power—until it was discovered after half a year.
Then it went on a rampage, with nearly 80% of "The Nameless" members meeting their end in its belly, after which it vanished into a level 20 dungeon.
Such a valuable creature couldn’t be left for Xun Huan and the Su family, could it? It could also conveniently save a bunch of good aunts and uncles!
She even found herself in a bit of a dilemma: should she give it to the Su family, the Liang family, or the Han family?
Too many enemies, too few dirty things, it was quite a headache.
Forget it, forget it. Such a powerful pet, she should leave it for Xun Huan. The best things should go to the ones she hated the most.
After all, she was a "brother-supporting demon," wasn’t she?
A "brother-supporting demon" is someone who always thinks of their brother when it comes to good things.
**Chapter 138: Hilarious, Do They Really Think I’m a Brother-Supporting Demon?!**
Yu Xunge bought a list of dungeons within "The Nameless" faction's territory. As everyone became more adept at controlling their abilities, nearly all dungeons had been explored by their owners—there was no need for deep exploration; just entering the dungeon and finding the alien species would allow them to gauge the dungeon's level based on their levels.
This list was released by them to facilitate renting out slots for entering dungeons. After disguising herself and going invisible, Yu Xunge prioritized exploring the level 15 dungeons little by little.
On August 12, she finally spotted the dragon deep within a lake in one of the dungeons.
In her past life, this dragon had been somewhat of a celebrity; she wouldn’t mistake it.
At first glance, it looked like a massive black python, but its large head was strikingly similar to the dragons from Chinese legends, with two straight, short horns on either side of its head and only one pair of "dragon claws," each with three toes.
Yu Xunge used her pocket watch to scan from a distance.
