Chapter 296 The fallen genius!
"Things in Dragon City are so expensive! But... this bed is so comfortable!"
Danai lay sprawled out, falling backward onto the clean, white bed.
Then, I was gently bounced up and sank back into the bedding.
"Yes! It's really too expensive!" Black Horse sighed as he lay on the bed.
At first, Sakura suggested that they stay in the upscale area on the second floor to experience it.
However, upon hearing the exorbitant price of several thousand energy stones for that night, the two resolutely shook their heads and refused.
Finally, Black Horse led everyone to stay on the first floor, choosing the most ordinary rooms.
After all, the wolf hunting team has always lived a life of hardship, which keeps them constantly vigilant.
They can respond appropriately to any danger.
However, once one becomes too comfortable, one forgets the fighting instinct.
This is very dangerous for a combat team.
"However, I must say, it's so comfortable living here."
Just a second ago, the dark horse was thinking about staying vigilant at all times.
The next second, he comfortably closed his eyes, not wanting to move even a little bit more.
"Captain, did you see that? This place called Dragon City has a lot of good stuff. At least four people have those things that can transmit sound in real time!" Danai said with his eyes closed, recalling the scenes he had witnessed before.
From entering Dragon City to the Dragon Gate Inn...
At least four people have already been found to possess those kinds of telepathic treasures.
To be honest, Danai was a little envious.
Or rather, no one wouldn't be envious of such a treasure.
Especially for hunting teams like theirs, being able to communicate telepathically in real time would allow them to coordinate their attacks more effectively.
That team's combat power should increase by at least one or two times.
"There are a lot of good things here!" Black Horse agreed.
After lying there for a while, his strong willpower overcame the urge to stay in bed, and he slowly sat up.
Black Horse was also wondering if he could trade some of those treasures with Dragon City.
In this way, the strength of his wolf hunting team will definitely increase dramatically.
But what can I use to trade for something so precious?
Perhaps one of them, Dark Horse suddenly looked at the black bird perched on the table.
For some reason, this silly bird got sicker and sicker after entering Dragon City.
It looks like it won't last much longer. Should we sell it?
"Ah, if only I could stay in Dragon City forever!" Danai suddenly said.
“Who wouldn’t want to stay in a place like this forever?” Black Horse chimed in.
But the next second, he frowned and said in a serious tone, "Danai, have you forgotten why we left Sunset City? All the big cities are the same; those in power don't treat us like human beings at all."
"Captain, of course I won't forget!" Danai also sat up and answered seriously.
"All the big cities are the same; those in power don't treat the people below them like human beings at all."
You should know that when they were hunting in the wilderness, they slept outdoors every day, using the sky as their blanket and the earth as their bed.
Such a life may seem carefree, but in reality... very few people would want to live like that.
after all...
They were once the core team of a huge base, revered by thousands, and living a life of comfort and ease.
If those things hadn't happened, they would never have left their comfort zone to make a living in the wilderness.
“However… there must be a lot of good stuff here. If we could take these things and sell them elsewhere, we could make a fortune,” Danai suggested.
He is the vice-captain, and Dark Horse is usually responsible for the team's combat and direction.
He, on the other hand, is a bit more quick-witted and can help come up with ideas.
"This is not bad! It's a pity that the potion can't be purchased in bulk, otherwise..." Black Horse was also very eager for the good things in Dragon City.
The medicine he had used to treat his comrades was more effective than any other healing medicine he had ever seen.
Stop the pain immediately! Stop the bleeding immediately!
Such a miraculous potion, if taken to those big cities...
Even if it sells for tens of thousands of energy stones, people will be scrambling to buy it!
"If we can't buy the potion, let's buy something else. We'll go out and check again at daybreak..."
The two chatted for a while longer, agreed to go shopping in Longcheng the next day, and then got up to take a shower.
Originally, the two of them didn't want to move anymore once they were lying in bed.
But then Sakurako came over and said that hot water would be provided here for showering.
The two of them immediately scrambled to their feet.
Just kidding, they've never even taken a hot bath in their entire lives.
In the wilderness, the chance to take a cold shower is only a few times a month.
What the two didn't know was...
After they went into the bathroom, a figure quietly left.
Then, they quickly passed through a secret passage and entered the inner city.
A moment later, the figure entered the city lord's mansion and arrived at the glowing tree.
"Speaking of which... Xiao Yan had just fallen from genius to good-for-nothing when he suddenly faced the annulment of his engagement..."
Under the glowing tree, a stone table was laden with a variety of fruits, including mulberries, apples, and pears. Xiao Yu spoke eloquently, while the women, including Hong Lian and Xing Lan, surrounded him, sipping their iced drinks and gazing at him with adoring eyes while their hands rested on the stone table.
"Wait first!"
Seeing the rabbit-eared girl return in her earth-yellow armor, Xiao Yu asked with a smile, "How did it go?"
Tie Nan had already reported early on that over a hundred people had suddenly appeared and even arrived in Longcheng.
Xiao Yu then sent the rabbit-eared girl to keep an eye on them and see what their purpose was.
"They are indeed that hunting team called 'Wild Wolves'!"
The bunny-eared girl pulled a small notebook from her chest, flipping through the records as she reported.
"They said they used to be from Sunset City, but something happened that led them to leave. This Dark Horse Captain seems to treat his subordinates well, so he is quite popular with them."
"Oh, it's good that there are no problems." Xiao Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Not everyone needs to be monitored.
The main issue is that these people are of unknown origin and are covered in injuries.
What I fear most is someone with ill intentions.
Once it's confirmed that there are no problems, monitoring is no longer necessary.
"They seem quite interested in the sound-transmitting insects," the rabbit-eared girl said, raising an eyebrow as she thought of something.
"Sound-transmitting bugs? A trade... isn't out of the question, but we'll have to see what valuable things they can offer." Xiao Yu nodded and chuckled.
The seventh-order sound-transmitting worm mother can produce a large number of offspring worms.
However, the sound transmission effects of insects of different strengths are completely different.
For example, a sixth-order larva is already equivalent to a mother larva and can continue to produce offspring.
The seventh-tier queen is essentially the main server, while the sixth-tier are like branch servers, inheriting most of the talents and capable of transmitting sound over long distances. The weaker fifth and fourth-tier queens can only transmit sound over 500 or 300 miles, etc.
In short, the weaker the offspring produced by the mother insect, the better.
Not only is the transmission distance shorter, but the time delay is also longer.
The gestation period for sixth-order offspring is at least one month.
But... a normal larva can produce more than ten offspring in a single day.
"Thank you for your hard work. The new batch of popcorn is ready. Go wash your hands and eat. Otherwise, it'll all be gone again." Seeing a bead of sweat on the bunny girl's forehead, Xiao Yu reminded her with concern.
"Okay, I'll go wash my hands right away."
The rabbit-eared girl glanced at the stone table, her eyes lit up, and she responded repeatedly.
The popcorn steaming on top is freshly made by Xinglan.
The next second, the bunny-eared girl used her speed talent and dashed into the bathroom.
After washing my hands in the shortest possible time, I sat down at the stone table.
He casually took the iced drink handed to him by the maid and grabbed a handful of popcorn from the plate.
Then... she looked at Xiao Yu expectantly, listening to him tell his story.
"Just as Nalan Yanran was about to break off the engagement..." Xiao Yu paused deliberately at this point.
"Brother Yu, please continue! Don't stop!"
"Yes! They've just gotten into it, so keep going!"
The women shoved Xiao Yu, urging him to continue.
Since popcorn was invented, iced drinks have also become available.
Xiao Yu felt that it would be too boring without some entertainment.
And so, the scene we see today came about.
Having whetted the women's appetites, Xiao Yu took a sip of Puti tea before slowly saying:
"Everyone was waiting to see Xiao Yan make a fool of himself, to see him meekly submit like a dog to Nalan Yanran, who was far more powerful and of a higher status than him. But instead, he publicly wrote a letter of divorce in front of everyone, making her lose all face!"
Xiao Yu spoke eloquently and fluently, recounting the plot of the novel from his previous life.
"Good! That kind of woman deserves it!"
"That's right! If anyone should break off the engagement, it should be Xiao Yan who divorces his wife!"
"This kind of woman is really unacceptable!"
