Chapter 781: The Dragon Clan's Reproduction Problem
After hearing the tale of Elder Zhu, Su Yu and his companions were left speechless in astonishment.
It was finally Starlight, the Star Realm Cat, who broke the silence. She licked her paw contentedly and said, "Hmm, this is the best story I've heard so far, no doubt about it."
Hearing Starlight's words, Su Yu and the others snapped back to reality.
Commissar Zhang sighed, "Who would have thought that Elder Zhu was so formidable, rising to become the king of a small nation and even gaining control over most of its power!"
Xue Wenli nodded in agreement. "Indeed, this is a tremendous boon for our final battle. Once the battle begins, Elder Zhu can launch surprise attacks from behind enemy lines, drawing a significant portion of their forces away!"
Zhong Feng's spirits also lifted. He slowly got to his feet from the floor, dusting himself off, and said, "Elder Zhu entrusted me with a lot of valuable items, weighing around 300 tons in total. Among these 300 tons, 200 tons are the latest Skrull equipment and weapons, as well as the new G2 weapons. We can use these to equip the Blue Star forces. The remaining 100 tons consist of gold and psychic energy canisters. If we convert the total value, just the batch of supplies from Elder Zhu is worth 30 billion Solar Coins!"
"30 billion? That's no small amount!" Xue Wenli exclaimed. "Little Tian brought back supplies worth 40 billion, while Binghongcha and Yunzhong Mu combined brought back 150 billion. Add this 30 billion, and the total haul from the 12 players is nearly 1 trillion!"
And this "1 trillion" isn't in the heavily devalued Blue Star currency but in the stable Solar Coins.
This mission has truly been a huge success!
"Actually, it's definitely more than 1 trillion," Zhong Feng said with a smile, removing his spatial ring and handing it to Commissar Zhang. "During my 14 days on Skrull, I spent 11 days stealing resources from a small nation in the southern part of the Solar Empire. The value of these resources is at least 200 to 300 billion! Moreover, I made a deal with the Dragon Clan on Dragon Island, selling them the six Master-level potions that Su Yu had. The Dragon Clan also gave me many gifts, totaling close to 100 billion in value..."
Zhong Feng was in the middle of his enthusiastic recount when Starlight suddenly slapped her paw on the ground, interrupting him. "Wait! You said the entire Dragon Island gave you gifts. Why would they do that?"
Starlight had picked up on the intriguing part of his story.
Su Yu and the others were taken aback, their eyes fixed on Zhong Feng.
Could it be that Zhong Feng had done something significant on Dragon Island to catch the attention of the entire Dragon Clan?
"Well, this goes back to when I first arrived on Dragon Island," Zhong Feng began, finding a chair to sit on in the basement.
He picked up a glass of water, sipping it as he continued, "When I first arrived on Skrull, I was teleported to the middle of a vast ocean, about a 12-hour flight from Dragon Island..."
He then recounted in detail his experiences on Dragon Island, including how he entered the island, met Princess Coco, exposed his identity in a duel with the White Dragon Daniel, claimed to be from the Holy Dragon Star, and met the venerable Tao Qian and Jun Shiyi.
Su Yu, the others, and Starlight listened intently, not interrupting, their faces filled with disbelief.
Overall, Zhong Feng's story was even more fantastical than Elder Zhu's!
He claimed to be from the Holy Dragon Star and had managed to deceive all the dragons!
However, this deception also carried significant risks.
Xue Wenli voiced her concerns, "Zhong Feng, you aren't a true Saint Dragon Star Dragon. What if you're found out?"
Zhang Zhengwei stroked his chin, his tone pessimistic. "I think it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out. The dragons on Dragon Island are unpredictable, but the Skrulls are more likely to catch on. They have the specific data from the Evolution game, which includes the exact appearance of the game's dragons. A simple comparison would likely expose this 'Saint Dragon Star Dragon' as a fake."
"Su Yu, what do you think?" Xue Wenli turned to Su Yu, seeking his opinion.
Su Yu furrowed his brow, his expression tense. "I think something's off."
"Off?" Xue Wenli was taken aback.
But she quickly clarified, "You mean Zhong Feng shouldn't have revealed his identity? But I don't think we can blame him; he was in a difficult situation at the time..."
"No, that's not what I mean," Su Yu shook his head. "I'm talking about the dragons' breeding problem. That's what's really off."
He fixed his gaze on Zhong Feng. "Zhong Feng, did the dragons really say they have breeding difficulties and their population is declining?"
Zhong Feng was taken aback but quickly replied, "Yes, they did say that."
"That doesn't make sense!" Su Yu shook his head vigorously.
From what he knew, dragons were supposed to have incredible breeding capabilities! In the game, dragons could produce dozens of offspring within 3 to 5 years, and that was just within their own species. Dragons were also notorious for crossing with other species, resulting in various hybrids like dragonmen, drakes, dragon horses, and even dog-headed sorcerers with dragon blood.
Zhong Feng wasn't as familiar with the game as Su Yu, so it was understandable he didn't know this. Claiming dragons had poor breeding capabilities would be the joke of the century!
Su Yu didn't hold back, explaining the general breeding abilities of dragons in the game.
He concluded, "Not just in the game, but on Saint Dragon Star as well. Humans have dominated two star systems thanks to their prolific breeding. If the dragons on Saint Dragon Star were really facing extinction without intervention, how could they have conquered tens of thousands of star systems?"
"You have a point," Zhong Feng rubbed his chin, nodding in agreement. He had merely heard the dragons' claim about breeding difficulties and hadn't given it much thought.
It seemed there was more to the dragons' breeding issues than met the eye!
At that moment, Xue Wenli's eyes sparkled with a new idea. "What if there's a problem with the dragons' bloodline on Dragon Island?"
"Problem with their bloodline?" The three of them turned their attention to her.
"Exactly. Perhaps their overall bloodline has been compromised, severely inhibiting their breeding capabilities, leading to this situation," Xue Wenli hypothesized.
"I don't think that's possible," Morningstar, the cat, finally spoke up, her whiskers twitching.
"I've been to Dragon Island and had close contact with those dragons. I can also transform into a dragon, so I have a good understanding of their bloodline. From my observations, their bloodline is fine and is very similar to the dragons in our world," Morningstar explained honestly.
