Chapter 19

"Shh, don't mention that here, or there'll be trouble!"

Park Ae-hwa was so scared that his hair stood on end, and he nervously looked around, as if trying to prove that there was nothing suspicious.

Mentioning the Golden Dragon in normal times was no big deal, but at this critical moment, in the 911 Aircrew Base, it had become a taboo.

"What do you want to pick up that thing for?"

After witnessing the ferocity and terror of the Golden Dragon, Chen Fei only wanted to stay as far away as possible from anything related to it.

If not for being held hostage by that despicable bear, Chekhov, he would never have initiated an attack on the Golden Dragon. Only a madman would do such a thing.

That's right, Chekhov was a madman.

If not for his own weakness, Chen Fei would have already beaten him up in the toilet to show that those who dare to offend the strong Han people will be punished, no matter how far they are.

"Of course, it's money! A lot of money! Don't you want to earn money?"

Park Ae-hwa rubbed his fingers together.

He had heard that this new recruit was also in debt, and they were both members of the Poor Ghosts' Alliance, so they should cooperate.

Money emboldens the timid. Park Ae-hwa never had the courage before, but now, with the remains of the Golden Dragon scattered near the aircrew base, he felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he didn't seize it, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

"Think back to the time when a chance to become rich was right in front of you, but..."

But forget it!

What good would such regret do now!

Recently, about twenty people had come to the 911 Aircrew Base, not interacting with other departments, but digging up the area where the Golden Dragon fell, using metal detectors to scan every inch of ground at least eight times before they were satisfied.

These people were definitely not just killing time.

The fallen Golden Dragon was not just a mountain of gold, but even more valuable than that.

Despite the ban on private transactions, there was still illegal trading going on behind the scenes.

"I want to! But I didn't, not at all!"

Chen Fei shook his head like a rattle drum.

If he had really picked up anything, he would have been thoroughly searched before being taken to the operating table, leaving him with nothing.

On the medical ship, the nurses called this procedure "preparation."

Once you were on the table, everyone, regardless of gender, became a Green Dragon hero, and the women became White Tiger Uniques, with no one escaping.

Chen Fei's head was still bald, with only a bit of fuzzy hair growing back. Chekhov, the big bear, looked like he had taken vows at Shaolin Temple, but he still had a very noticeable "mini sanitary pad" on his head.

Moreover, after the ejection, Chen Fei had been in a coma the whole time, so he could only be picked up by others, not the other way around!

"Think again, think again!"

Park Ae-hwa was very anxious.

He had heard that even a tiny piece, the size of a soybean, could sell for tens of thousands of star coins, and if it was as big as a fist, it would be even more valuable.

"Park Ae-hwa, what are you doing? Come and help quickly."

The head chef, Abel, called out from the kitchen, clearly unhappy that this scoundrel was doing something unrelated to work.

I'll fire this lazy guy sooner or later and send him back to Korea to eat his own rice.

"Okay, Abel, I'm coming."

Park Ae-hwa quickly responded loudly and then said to Chen Fei, "If you pick up anything, come find me. I can give you a good price."

"Got it, got it!"

Chen Fei nodded helplessly, just wanting to get rid of this annoying guy.

The Golden Dragon had nothing to do with him, and he had no interest in it.

"Remember that!"

After taking a few steps towards the kitchen, Park Ae-hwa turned back, still not giving up.

"Okay, okay!"

What else could Chen Fei say?

This meal was truly tasteless.

The Golden Dragon clan from the Sky Realm was of even greater value to the Blue Star Realm, which was based on industrial civilization, compared to other dragon clans.

Unlike the dragon clan, the Golden Dragons, which feed on metal, are more like a strange biological alloy. The alloy materials separated from the Golden Dragon, if used in the industrial field, would instantly break through the constraints of basic materials and are the best materials for manufacturing high-precision, high-performance, and long-lasting mechanical bodies.

What is technology, what is craftsmanship, if not the product of humbly bowing to basic materials?

If bricks could fly, why would we bother with the Bernoulli effect or fluid mechanics? Just fly!

The most expensive energy components in the industrial field, the SEG core units, have only one public source: the Golden Dragon clan. The cost of artificial manufacturing is too high, with a terrifyingly high failure rate, making mass production impossible. Only a few specialized laboratories have managed to create a few imperfect units, which are treated as precious treasures and kept secret.

Even so, the number of high-precision industrial products, such as SEG core units, that the Golden Dragon clan provides to the Sky Realm and the Blue Star Realm each year is limited to single digits. It's extremely difficult to get these greedy creatures to give up anything, even the dragon king of their own clan doesn't have much influence.

Who cares, I'm right here at the boundary gate, come and get me if you dare!

The entire Golden Dragon clan is almost one with the boundary gate.

Of course, no one dares to attack! No one dares to attack!

That's an entire world's worth of resources. Compared to that, the Golden Dragon clan is just a grain of sand in the sea.

Everyone knows that the Golden Dragons are a natural treasure, but no one dares to mess with them.

On one hand, the Golden Dragon clan guards the boundary gate, which is of great importance to the Sky Realm. For the Sky Realm and the Blue Star Realm, which is more important: the boundary gate or the Golden Dragons?

There's no need to choose; even a fool knows that without the boundary gate, everything is lost. Not only would the exchange between the two realms be severely affected, but it could also lead to catastrophic consequences.

After all, the boundary gate on the Sky Realm side is not a secret. The boundary gate, created with the entire planet's resources, is called the "Doomsday Ring" for a reason.

On the other hand, the Golden Dragons are still part of the dragon clan, and the current dragon king is a Golden Dragon. Who would dare to hunt the Golden Dragons? A single command from the dragon king, and the dragon clan would spit on any country, and no country could withstand it.

If even sovereign nations can't provoke them, let alone organizations or individuals.

However, there are always exceptions. Everyone knows that the Golden Dragons, known as the "Killing Dragons," can be terrifying even to themselves. If a Golden Dragon goes rogue, there's no choice but to deal with it; it can't be allowed to run wild!

The agreement between the Sky Realm and the Blue Star Realm includes a special clause: if a dragon enters another realm without permission and goes out of control, it can be authorized to be killed. Whoever kills it gets the benefits, from skinning and dismembering to extracting blood and organs to compensate for the damage caused. It's that simple.

This clause serves as a warning and constraint to the unstable elements within the dragon clan, especially the Golden Dragons, and also encourages the relevant organizations in both realms to take action to control the situation, preventing the rogue dragon from causing too much destruction and affecting the peace and stability of both realms.

In a sense, it opens a loophole.

To be honest, the probability of a Golden Dragon going rogue is quite high. Compared to the current birth rate of the Golden Dragon clan, the number of rogue dragons is negligible, and even the current dragon king wouldn't care. He would turn a blind eye, considering it a necessary loss to prevent trouble.

It's impossible to understand the true thoughts of the dragons with human thinking.

After all, their values are completely different, and it's already a show of respect that they don't fight on the spot.

If you trace the source of the combat orders received by the 911 Aircrew Base and other aircrew bases, you'll find that they actually come from the Sky Realm.

This is indeed an unexpected answer.
