Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 378 Slaying the Dragon
Hearing Zhou Yi accept the challenge, the onlookers immediately showed excitement on their faces, holding their breath and staring at this side with wide eyes.

At this time.

However, Zhou Yi felt that a strange force was shrouding this area.

Lines of light formed a strange square space.

The onlookers can be seen, but their voices cannot be heard.

Zhou Yi felt like he had become a character in a fighting game. Everyone else had become the background and they were not on the same level.

The dragon on the opposite side also transformed at this moment, expanding from a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional true body.

It was over a hundred meters long, but was hidden in a thick cloud, and only its scales and claws could be seen occasionally. However, these scales were not as golden as those in the two-dimensional image, but a dull cold gray, like a candle that was about to burn out.

Two black holes appeared on it, slowly sucking the mist into them.

There is no pupil and no life in this dragon eye-shaped hole.

There is only a cold sense of decay.

Zhou Yi frowned and said, "Dragons shouldn't be like this..."

The other party said: "It sounds like you know me better than I know myself?"

"The dragon - at least the dragon of the old Eastern humans - protects the people from bad weather and good harvests, and symbolizes dignity and protection for all people. That's why ancient Chinese civilization has always said that the emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and people also call themselves descendants of the dragon."

Zhou Yi looked at the monster-like dragon in front of him and sighed, "Why has it become like this now?"

"You are not a dragon at all. You are just a dragon-shaped monster in name only."

"..."

The other party was silent for a moment: "A long time ago, the structure of my consciousness was indeed as you said..."

“But times have changed.”

"In this world, dragons can no longer protect people. When people no longer believe that dragons are omnipotent and have the power to fight all misfortunes, dragons are no longer in the image of gods, and will gradually become monsters in the eyes of all living beings. The cognition and imagination of countless people have formed my current appearance and form."

Zhou Yi asked: "Because of the celestial being's strangulation of you?"

“That’s one of the reasons.”

The dragon said indifferently: "The dragon as a god is dead. Now only the dragon as a monster exists."

"Stop talking nonsense and take action!"

Zhou Yi raised his hand and fired a shot.

Bang!
Flames burst out from the witcher's gun barrel, and a beam of golden light hit the dragon's body.

Suddenly, a golden hole appeared on the opponent's body, and then a large amount of light spread out from it, like a dragon spewing out a large amount of solidified golden blood.

The atmospheric creature was hit by bullets, and the alchemy solidified the dragon's body and gradually turned it into gold, giving it substance.

Consciousness attacks are launched at the same time.

The dragon roared, "Damn atmospheric creature! Why is it this monster!!"

At the same time, Mai Ba also took advantage of the situation to enter the battlefield.

"There are still conceptual life forms? Not good..."

Long was so angry that he was overtaken by the attack and could not move for a while.

The witcher's built-in [Seal] prevents her from using active abilities for 3 seconds.

This amount of time is enough.

Zhou Yi raised the double-barreled shotgun and aimed again at Long's body that had solidified into gold.

While chatting, he had converted a large amount of light seeds in the light box into life points.

Although I can't communicate with Suneo, I have no problem using Unit 2.

A full one million light seeds were transformed into life.

no matter what.

This time, Zhou Yi also invested a lot of money and was ready to give it a try to seek justice for Yuanxiao.

If not, come back next time.

In short.

There are only these three tricks, no more moves.

Zhou Yi pulled the metal trigger of the witch hunter with his left hand.

[Demon Hunting Spine Warehouse] is launched!
More than 99% of Zhou Yi's health was sucked into it, turning into the most violent and turbulent force that gushed out and turned into a white light that penetrated the enemy head-on.

The bullets transformed from millions of light seeds stretched out irregular black lines as they tore through the dragon's body.

The huge explosion caused Zhou Yi to lose his vision temporarily, and his head was full of buzzing.

Having never used [Life Strike] with such intensity before, he felt extremely tired, with severe body aches and numbness. His muscles were shaking at a high frequency and he could barely hold the gun.

These three tricks are the key to success.

Zhou Yi tried to think that he had done his best to please Yuanxiao.

But the dragon did not completely collapse.

Although its grayish-white body was visibly torn into pieces with the naked eye, large gaps and spider-web cracks like spots of light kept appearing in the clouds, indicating that it was severely damaged.

It still stands.

Life is tough.

Zhou Yi also got angry.

Let’s see whether your life is stronger or my bullet is stronger!
He picked up the witcher and fired at the dragon!
Mai Ba unfolded the BGM field, and with the continued effect of Weapon Girl's magic-banning effect, coupled with Curling's alchemy, the dragon was completely fixed in place, and its entire body was continuously transformed into gold, leaving holes on its body.

After firing a dozen shots.

The dragon completely turned into a pile of shattered gold nuggets, and the mist surrounding it also dissipated.

The broken gold on the ground also faded rapidly, turning into fragmented lead blocks, and many even turned into powder.

Won?

Zhou Yi was still a little uncertain.

"It's dead."

Mai Ba was the first to give feedback: "Chairman, its consciousness has completely disappeared. It should have returned to the Great Holy Spirit and been reborn."

What a win.

Zhou Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Brothers, taking the initiative really helps!
Especially for your own skills and weapon set, attacking first means fire suppression and instantly causing heavy damage to the enemy.

But next time I encounter a dragon, these methods won’t be able to achieve the desired result by surprise, and they will probably be unlikely to be effective.

The strange spatial force disappeared in an instant, and the world returned to normal from the stratification.

Zhou Yi held the Witch Hunter in his hand and saw that everyone around him was looking at him in amazement.

Their eyes moved back and forth between the lead and ashes on the ground and Zhou Yi.

There was silence.

Suddenly someone whispered, "It only took 15 seconds to kill the dragon..."

"15 seconds..."

"The dragon is dead, and its breath is gone."

"The dragon was killed!"

"hiss……"

Everyone looked at Zhou Yi with awe and fear in their eyes.

Zhou Yi was in a calm mood.

The dragon is no longer in its prime, so it is normal for it to be killed by itself.

The witch hunter returned to her silver-haired weapon girl form. Her cheeks were flushed and she was slightly out of breath.

She whispered excitedly, "This is the first time I've killed a conceptual life." "It feels so good!"

"Remember next time, use me to fill the final shot of Concept Life! This way I can gain strength feedback and grow from killing strong enemies!"

"Chairman, I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future!"

"..."

Zhou Yi felt helpless.

There is no such thing as so much life for you to finish off the enemies and level up.

He suddenly discovered a problem.

The dragon was defeated by his three-pronged attack and returned to the Great Holy Spirit, but how can he get the rice cake back?
Zhou Yi asked the two new employees next to him.

"Do you know about Nian Gao? She is the angel of death, and her image should be a young girl... Long is dead, and Nian Gao is not given to me yet."

Zhou Yi confirmed that Long had been killed, and everyone was in an uproar.

They ran around to tell each other, with smiles on their faces.

Zhou Yi wasn't sure if they were just watching for fun or if they always had a problem with Long.

I guess they would be just as happy if they were killed.

But none of this matters.

Because the person we were looking for showed up on his own.

“I am rice cake.”

"you?"

Zhou Yi looked at the person in front of him, somewhat confused.

The woman standing in front of him looked to be around 28 or 29 years old. She was wearing a white knitted coat and had her long hair tied in a side ponytail. She spoke in a calm tone and her eyes and eyebrows exuded a queen-like aura.

Compared with Yuanxiao, her image is more like that of a mother.

"it's me."

The woman said, "I came here after receiving Lord Long's order and am also watching the battle from the sidelines."

"You win, I'm yours."

Nian Gao said with a smile.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Come with me."

There are more and more people gathering here, and the rumors may spread that he killed the dragon and wants to annex the Dragon Palace...

and many more?

Annex Dragon Palace.

There is now a mature, ready-made university.

That seems like a good idea.

Come here.

Zhou Yi immediately asked for the opinion of Sun Yat-sen University.

"I'm sorry, Long and I have always worked well together. We both maintain our independence and have no other ideas or plans to move."

"If you come to recruit talents, I welcome you very much, but if you want to annex this place, I will firmly oppose it."

Unfortunately, the school is unwilling to merge.

Zhou Yixin felt it was a pity and could only lead the team to retreat.

Out of the school gate.

Yuanxiao is still waiting there.

"Chairman, are you okay...ah? Rice cake?"

Seeing her daughter next to her, the young girl showed an expression of disbelief: "Chairman, you brought her out... Could it be..."

Nian Gao said calmly, "Mr. Zhou killed the dragon in just 15 seconds. Mr. Zhou gave up the trophy of 100 million light seeds for me."

"..."

Yuanxiao looked stunned, and then spoke incoherently: "Thank you, Chairman, thank you, thank you..."

"It's okay, I'm lucky. This is what I promised you."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "But Nian Gao is different from what you said. She is very easy to talk to."

"She's not easy to talk to."

Yuan Xiao glanced at his daughter who had a gentle look beside him and sighed, "She just admires you because you killed the dragon head-on, which means you are stronger than the dragon, so she is very willing to follow you. That's how she is."

“I just made the right choice.”

Nian Gao whispered softly, "Lord Long lost the battle, and he also lost me to Mr. Zhou. The weak are essentially appendages of the strong. I will do whatever Mr. Zhou tells me to do."

Zhou Yi could not comment on this.

but.

He thought of another thing: "Nian Gao, you completed the third level training in Dragon Palace, right?"

"Yes. I am currently a lecturer at the Dragon Palace."

"What professional?"

Nian Gao said: "Applied mathematics."

Zhou Yi was overjoyed: "You studied mathematics?"

"Yes."

The angel with a side ponytail said: "In the existing knowledge system, mathematics is the most objective tool to describe the world, so I chose mathematics. The strength of a life can be judged through mathematical formulas and values, and a person's survival trajectory can also be deduced through formulas."

"For example, if I had followed my mother and left the Dragon Palace and entered the traditional hunting life of the Death Angels, the only result would have been that I would have become the next her."

"I chose to stay in Dragon Palace because I calculated with mathematical modeling that Dragon Palace can provide more powerful variables, giving me a high-speed growth period that other places don't have, and a more stable and efficient natural platform. I need to escape the fate of fighting to death as a death angel, and becoming a descendant of the dragon is the best choice."

"That's why I stayed in Dragon Palace."

"It turns out that math doesn't lie. I waited for the chairman to come and had a better choice."

Nian Gao said softly.

Yuan Xiao frowned: "Why didn't you say it at the beginning?"

Nian Gao looked at his mother in girl form and smiled: "What? What did you say when you heard that I was studying mathematics? What's the use of that? I might as well come out and learn hunting earlier. I will decide what path I want to take."

"..."

Yuanxiao felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Zhou Yi said, "Since Nian Gao is a PhD in mathematics... then he can go to Mushroom Forest Primary School to teach mathematics. As for the salary, it will still be 100 light seeds for the time being."

"Yes."

Nian Gao said softly, "I will follow the chairman's orders."

Zhou Yi noticed that many people were looking in his direction. Many people came out of the Dragon Palace and moved towards him, whispering to each other.

"It was the 15 seconds that killed the dragon..."

"He is not a celestial being, but he is more brutal than a celestial being. I heard that it took a celestial being an hour to kill a dragon."

"I know about the Wasteland Development Company. I heard that the chairman loves to kill everyone. He killed everyone in the entire Energy Storage City by himself. He even killed harmless electromechanical creatures like excavators and tore them into pieces alive."

"No wonder we entered the Dragon Palace with the intention of killing the dragon. Maybe this place will change hands in the future."

"Anyway, be careful. This is a scary character who kills people without hesitation."

Zhou Yi's face twitched and he clenched his fists.

Fighting is not allowed in the safe zone, but they just watch the fun without any hesitation.

He took a deep breath and said, "Get in the car, let's go back."
