Chapter 84

To be honest, the half-bar of titanium alloy in front of Chen Fei was quite tempting.

Whether it was tender or not, he didn't know, but it smelled quite good.

Chen Fei didn't have the ability of a gold dragon to determine the composition and approximate content of metal materials just by smell.

Faced with Iridium's enthusiasm, he was still somewhat hesitant.

"This isn't right!"

The female gold dragon Iridium said with a murderous aura, "If you don't eat it, you're not giving me face, and I'll kill you!"

At the slightest disagreement, she would start a massacre, being brutally straightforward.

Several people were rushing to the recycling station with a fierce momentum.

Leading the way with a puffed chest and a protruding belly was Taka, the personnel manager of the 911 Air Base. He said to the person who was half a step behind him, "Sanjani, this is the last time I'm helping you. You should know that Chen Fei's boss, the maintenance chief Xiao Ming, is not someone to mess with. When he gets angry, even Chekov would be beaten to the ground. How many hits do you think you can take?"

Sanjani, with a bruised nose and swollen face, pleaded to Taka with clasped hands, "Uncle Taka, just help me this one time, please. I really can't swallow this. Why should that kid make big money? This money should be ours."

Taka's fellow countrymen, though cheap in labor, were unwilling to accept the fate of watching others feast while they could only lick the soup. They might not have much ability, but they certainly didn't lack ambition.

Especially for such a rare opportunity for extra income, these high-handed and self-important fellows couldn't bear to see a newcomer who had only been at the air base for a month get the windfall.

Yes, just the windfall!

If he didn't beat the other party to a pulp, he would have wasted all the years drinking the Heng River water.

Thinking that as a mid-level manager of the air base, he couldn't handle a newcomer who had only been there for a month, Taka, the personnel manager, brought Sanjani and a few fellow countrymen to the recycling station. There, they saw the female gold dragon Iridium viciously threatening the young man named Chen Fei.

"If you don't eat it, you're not giving me face, and I'll kill you!"

What to eat?

The metal bar with tooth marks was right there on the ground!

Without hesitation, Taka turned around and left, bidding farewell!

"Huh?!" Sanjani and the others, confused, hurriedly followed.

"Uncle, Uncle, why are you leaving?"

A slap came flying over.

Smack!~

It landed solidly.

"Ouch, Uncle, why did you hit me?"

Sanjani, pitifully covering his face, was completely stunned.

"Hit you? Hitting you is still too lenient. Are you blind or deaf?"

After walking a dozen meters, Taka finally slowed down, turned around, and glared at these unworthy fellows, feeling ashamed.

"Huh?"

Sanjani still didn't understand, his face full of confusion.

He felt that this slap was a bit unjust.

Taka, fuming, said, "Do you want to die so badly?"

To become a mid-level manager at the air base, one must have some skills. Even if the ability is lacking, the discernment is not.

"Huh!"

The fellows finally remembered that there was a gold dragon in the recycling station.

Taka, frustrated, said, "What are you saying? Didn't you hear the dragon say to eat the metal block, and if you don't, she'll kill you? Do you dare?"

He felt that in a moment, he would have to go and collect the young man's body.

Previously, he thought this kid was uncooperative, but now it seemed he was just unlucky, encountering danger one after another since joining. This time, he finally lost his life.

Taka felt some sympathy for the young man Chen Fei, who had bad luck and was pitiful.

"..."

Sanjani and his companions all turned pale.

Can humans eat metal blocks like curry pies?

Even if they could bite, could they digest it in their stomachs?

Isn't this a matter of life and death?

The key issue is that eating would lead to death, and not eating would also lead to death.

A daily wage of 10,000 star coins is indeed tempting, but one must have the life to take it first!

"Uncle, is that kid lying to us?"

Sanjani, with another handprint on his face, smiled, feeling somewhat unwilling to give up.

"I won't get involved in this matter!"

Taka, out of respect for his relatives, came to try to use his authority to force Chen Fei to give up the extra income job of being a guide for the gold dragon to Sanjani.

But he didn't expect that the idea was good, but the reality was harsh.

True to the nature of a dragon of slaughter, it was not easy to deal with, and there was always a risk to life.

The personnel manager stormed off, leaving Sanjani and the others with burning faces, looking at each other in dismay.

"Sanjani, what do we do?"

"Taka is unwilling to help us."

"Should we continue?"

The lackeys, who were only good at bluffing, immediately became aimless without a backer, revealing their weak nature.

"I don't believe that kid would really eat it to please the gold dragon!"

Sanjani, who had failed to get Taka to help, was somewhat angry.

"Hey, Sanjani, don't act rashly!"

"Don't be impulsive!"

The few people following Sanjani quickly tried to dissuade him.

They had all been beaten up by Chen Fei before, and the memory was still fresh.

Working far from home is for money, not for a beating.

"I just want to see!"

With a deep breath, feeling indignant, Sanjani, as if possessed, refused to give up.

He turned around and tiptoed back to the recycling station, determined to see if the kid was in cahoots with the gold dragon, putting on a show for him.

Clang!

A second alloy bar was freshly removed from the mold, still the same smell.

Due to the short smelting time and internal convection of the metal liquid, the alloy bar was not uniform in quality, with slight changes in composition with each bite.

Gold Dragon: Crunch, crunch...

Chen Fei: Crunch, crunch...

System: Ding! 67 kilograms of alloy detected. Absorb? Yes/No | ?

System: 111 grams of alloy absorbed. Composition: 61% titanium, 15% aluminum, 13% iron, 5% nickel, 2% molybdenum, 1% lithium...

System: 97 grams of alloy absorbed. Composition: 59% titanium, 16% iron, 13% aluminum, 3% nickel, 2% tungsten, 1% molybdenum...

System: 101 grams of alloy absorbed. Composition: ...

...

Unable to refuse Iridium's enthusiasm, Chen Fei had to join in, sitting together and each holding half of the metal bar, gnawing away.

Neither the human nor the dragon felt anything was wrong.

But nearby, Sanjani, who was secretly watching, turned pale.

This is not right, very not right.

He wanted to jump out and question Chen Fei, why he could eat metal bars, which was not scientific.

Even if it was a pica, one couldn't treat a hard alloy bar like chocolate!

How brutal!

Just being able to bite it was already astonishing.

"Sanjani, is that guy even human?"

"Wow, is that iron? He bit it off in one go."

"Scary, so scary!!!"

The few people who came with him were green with fear, almost thinking there were two gold dragons in the recycling station.

This mouth and appetite were clearly not human!

"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me, I know nothing..."

Sanjani, dispirited, sat on the ground but immediately jumped up and ran away as if his butt was on fire.

His original intention to confront Chen Fei was completely gone.

He didn't have the courage to pick up a metal bar and gnaw on it.

"Hey, Sanjani, what's wrong with you?"

"Quick, chase him, don't let him do something stupid!"

The lackeys quickly followed, soon disappearing from sight.

Ding! 1 ton of metal consumed, energy points +1, current energy points: 12/5000

Ding! New mission obtained!

1. Kill a good person within 72 hours, energy points +100 (Mission failure: Death!)

Clang!~

Chen Fei's small half-bar of alloy hit the ground, creating a small pit.

Damn... This system is toxic!!!
