Sky-cracking Rider

"Left behind by Osythius?"

The tone of the female Metallic Dragon, Yilan, carried a hint of melancholy.

It's no secret that Osythius from their clan went off enthusiastically to his death (or rebirth), with most of the Metallic Dragons pounding their chests and cursing, deeply regretting not catching up, while other dragons secretly celebrated having one less menace.

The thought processes of dragons are incomprehensible to other Intelligent Species.

Among the Metallic Dragons, those with even a shred of sanity are rare. Even the new generation mostly follows their instincts and are mediocre at best. Before their Big Sister, they behave the same way they do at other times, constantly forgetting any beatings they suffer. Without the unified management of the Silan Dynasty, the word "menace" would indeed not wrong them, especially after Cangqiong Star introduced the industrial technology from Blue Star, making the Metallic Dragons the nemesis of industrial technology, with destruction levels reaching infinity.

It takes more than a day for three feet of ice to form; habits are hard to change. The Metallic Dragons' desire for transformation can't happen in just a few days or even years.

"I secretly went to Emerald Star and picked it up. Yilan, you must keep it a secret for me!"

Compared to humans, Chen Fei trusts dragons more.

Metallic Dragons, though brutal and unpredictable, are free of the deceit and scheming found among the Human Race.

"No problem, no one can pry open my mouth!"

Yilan shifted her gaze slightly and locked onto the bald man beside Chen Fei, then asked, "Do you need me to silence him for you?"

Miyoshi Monk's expression changed, he retreated two steps and sat down hard, nearly scared to the point of losing control.

"Hey, hey, hey, I won't say a word."

He never doubted that this Metallic Dragon would travel from Cangqiong Star to Blue Star to silence him.

Miyoshi Xuesen would rather provoke the Lin Family than a Metallic Dragon.

At least the Lin Family, being human, adheres to rules when it comes to killing.

Metallic Dragon... to hell with rules!

Chen Fei glanced back at the panicked monk and said matter-of-factly, "No need for that trouble. If he can't keep his mouth shut, I'll personally take care of it."

The monk's psi skill was extremely awkward, usable only on others. Once his ninja team gets wiped out, he is no different from an ordinary person, with at most some skills in combat. An indiscriminate attack would end him on the spot. Although he is an A-level Superpower User, he is not useful at all.

So, Miyoshi Xuesen took his small team to gather intelligence and do assassination work. Choosing head-on confrontation would definitely be mismatched to their skills, significantly reducing their actual combat effectiveness.

"I can throw him onto the sun!"

An S-Class Superpower User poked his head into the frame to add. He was curious, someone getting along with a Dragon of Slaughter was truly rare.

He said this without psychological pressure. An A-level before an S-Class is nothing; the difference of just one level is actually a huge gap.

Never mind being thrown onto the sun, even thrown from a hundred-meter height, the monk wouldn't survive. Splat, the monk would be toast.

"This is S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown. Mr. Brown can be trusted!"

Chen Fei turned back and pointed to the third person on the bridge, much more reliable than the monk, so he chose to ally with him first.

Chen Fei cradled the Metallic Dragon Heart Core in his hand and got back to business.

"What I want to ask is this, Yilan, do you know how to use the Metallic Dragon Heart Core?"

If someone else were to ask such a question, holding a Metallic Dragon Heart Core in front of a Metallic Dragon, they are definitely asking for trouble.

"Forge it into a top-tier Alchemical Artifact, useful to both Spellcasters and War Professionals, but... you're a Space Series Ability User, it's probably not much use to you."

The female Metallic Dragon Yilan tilted her head, seeming to ponder.

Space Series Ability Users inherently interact with the rules of heaven and earth, so they don't need external aids. Even if they use them, it's often Psychic Series Alchemical Artifacts, and their effect is quite limited. Even if it supplements some spiritual power, it won't significantly increase the number of psi skills they can unleash.

"Just an Alchemical Artifact?"

Chen Fei was greatly disappointed.

The Dog System has always been urging him to devour this Dragon Crystal, but he refuses. The system remains tight-lipped about its benefits, making him all the more suspicious.

"Emmm, I remember now, it can also be turned into a supercomputer unit."

Yilan seemed to have found another use, only recently discovered.

The primary node of data exchange between Blue Star and Cangqiong is actually a Metallic Dragon Heart Core, whose purity hasn't even reached the level of a Dragon Crystal.

It's hard to believe that a mere fist-sized Heart Core can handle the massive data exchange between two civilized planets, its computing power rivaling a large-scale computer center.

"Is there a method for making it?"

Chen Fei perked up; this was promising.

Although "Adam" claims his brain has infinite computing power, it's probably not far behind a dragon heart core. However, running at full power could lead to insufficient nutrition supply. When maintaining computing resources, blood sugar can't compare to the cost-effectiveness of electricity and Crystal Energy.

"I don't have it here; it should be stored in Sky Dragon City. If you need it, I can make a trip." The female Metallic Dragon Yilan's gaze remained fixed on Chen Fei's hand, continuing, "I see that the one in your hand isn't just a Heart Core, it has obvious signs of crystallization. If Osythius hadn't died, in another two to three thousand years, the Heart Core might have fully crystallized to become the Dragon King Crystal within the Dragon Crystals."

Once the Dragon Heart Core fully crystallizes into a Dragon King Crystal, it qualifies to compete for the crown of the Dragon King.

However, the current Dragon King is already a Metallic Dragon, and if the next Dragon King is again a Metallic Dragon, it might face considerable opposition.

The Dragon Race currently operates under a monarchy-offline system. It's peaceful when the Dragon King doesn't interfere, but if a Metallic Dragon comes along determined to work hard and govern diligently, the entire Dragon Race might not be far from disbandment.

Even Yilan herself isn't confident in claiming a Metallic Dragon from their tribe truly has the qualities of a Dragon King, let alone the current one, who, frankly speaking, is useless in everything except causing trouble.

Chen Fei expressed his gratitude, "Then I'll trouble you."

Helping friends and maintaining interpersonal relationships are matters of course.

Yilan helps him today, and he will help Yilan tomorrow, without worrying that this relationship will diminish over time. Frequent exchanges will naturally deepen the relationship.

"You owe me a big meal later!"

In truth, Yilan was quite craving Chen Fei's... psi skills.

Being able to produce various metal ingots, such a psi skill to the Metallic Dragons is practically fated!

"Less than ten thousand tons, as much as you want!"

Chen Fei was willing to spend ten thousand energy points to satisfy Yilan because it was entirely worth it.

He's been investing and optimizing a supercomputer center. Now, if a Dragon Crystal could become a supercomputer unit, it would replace everything and streamline the process, saving far more than ten thousand energy points. He'd even be willing if it could be exchanged for a million, or even ten million energy points.

Like Yilan, Chen Fei felt deeply regretful over Osythius's fall, as the Heart Core potentially could have crystallized into a Dragon King Crystal had he not died young.

But given his lifespan, he would probably not live to see that. Rather than look to the future, it's better to seize the present.

Made a fortune!
