Chapter 70: Minor Grievances

In Lin Qi’s previous life, dragons only existed in myths. In that era, many people wanted to see a dragon with their own eyes.

At that time, Lin Qi felt that if he could prove that a dragon really existed, if he could see it with his own eyes, it would be a very touching thing.

People were like that. They would yearn for things that they could not get. However, after they got it, they would feel empty again.

For example, if someone asked Lin Qi, “Now that you’ve seen a living dragon, are you touched?”

Lin Qi replied, “I don’t dare to move.”

..

To describe Lin Qi’s mood in one sentence, he was f*cking pissed.

He could not wait to kill that dog spirit right now.

“Do you really think you’re an ancient divine beast? Other than running fast and spitting fire, you’re nothing!” Lin Qi asked Dark King furiously without saying a word.

Dark King pretended not to see it. It could just fight back when they were out.

Dark King introduced the dragon to Lin Qi silently. “Look at this giant dragon in front of you. Its scales are black. It’s the weakest among the giant dragons.”

“Weakest? Got It. It’s a seven-star demonic beast, you piece of Clean Slate trash.”

“… The giant dragon with black scales is also called the stone dragon. It has low attack and high defense. Its scales are so hard that even some weaker eight-star demonic beasts can’t beat it. However, it can be said that it has almost no attack skills.

“The most important thing is that it is extremely lethargic. Under normal circumstances, it would never let the stone dragon guard the door. Therefore, it means…”

“Therefore, it means that the other dragons have gone out. Only this stone is left to guard the house.”

“That’s right! Therefore, this is our chance. The dragon is greedy for money and likes to collect all kinds of strange things. We can make a big profit and run away. By the way, do you have enough storage space for the equipment?”

Lin Qi looked at Dark King in surprise but did not say anything. He nodded calmly.

In fact, every time Lin Qi took food from the system, he pretended to take it out of his bag. Yu Meng, Luther, and the others had not noticed it, but he did not expect the black dog to know.

Where did that black dog come from? How did he know so much about dragons?

Dark King naturally did not know what Lin Qi was thinking, so he just nodded to show that he understood.

“Follow me. Be careful. This big guy is very stupid.”

After saying that, he took the lead and walked toward the stone dragon.

Lin Qi tightened his clothes. He nervously swallowed his saliva and followed it.

They walked extremely slowly and carefully. In just a short distance of 100 feet, they felt like they had walked 10,000 feet.

They slowly came to the front of the stone dragon. Lin Qi finally saw the huge dragon in front of him clearly. Looking at its large nostrils, he felt like he could be blown away with a sneeze.

However, the stone dragon’s huge body blocked the entire passage.

Dark King looked around and raised its front claws to point at the rock wall beside it, indicating that it could climb over from both sides.

Lin Qi also looked around and nodded in affirmation.

Lin Qi fixed his backpack and rubbed his hands on his pants. It was his first time seeing a dragon, so he was very nervous and broke out in a sweat.

To be on the safe side, Lin Qi first climbed up vertically. When he climbed higher than the dragon, he would then move forward.

Dark King was faster. He used all four limbs. Lin Qi had not even reached half of the dragon’s height, but Dark King had already landed on the other side.

Dark King waved its claws, signaling Lin Qi to hurry up. If he was any later, the other dragons would come back!

Lin Qi could only speed up.

Just as he reached the top, Lin Qi’s left foot missed and he was almost suspended in mid-air. The crushed stones fell on the stone dragon’s body, making clanging sounds.

Lin Qi quickly steadied his body, mustered up his courage, and turned to look at the stone dragon.

The stone dragon did not move and was still sleeping.

Lin Qi let out a long sigh of relief. He used both his hands and feet to quickly pass through that area.

As soon as he landed, he realized that Dark King was staring at him unhappily.

Lin Qi spread his hands. “I didn’t do it on purpose. Besides… I’m not completely focused yet!”

Dark King grimaced. “Kid, be careful!”

“Got it, got it, nagging!”

They quickly passed through the canyon.

To Lin Qi’s surprise, there were even bigger mountains in the canyon and there were many caves in the middle of those mountains.

Dark King saw Lin Qi’s confusion. “These dragons are a group of big lizards. They don’t like to see the light. They either sleep or mate all day. Sometimes, they go out to scavenge for good things, but they don’t use them. They’re just happy to hoard things.

“So yeah, dragons are just a bunch of creatures with pits in their heads.”

Lin Qi was even more shocked. “So these caves… Each cave has a pair of dragons living in it?”

“Of course not. It’s very difficult for dragons to reproduce. Don’t bother with the fact that they mate every day. They may only get pregnant after mating for seven or eight years. Besides, dragons are horny by nature. They don’t have the concept of a husband and wife. They’ll mate with whoever they find.

“Actually, most demonic beasts don’t have the concept of a husband and wife. Only you humans would be so boring.”

Lin Qi suddenly felt a little envious of the giant dragon. “That’s great!”

Dark King looked at Lin Qi with disdain. “What a cheap b*stard!”

“What do you know!”

..

Lin Qi and Dark King began to explore the caves one by one. Some of the caves were densely packed with gold, silver, and jewelry.

Lin Qi looked at the gold coins, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction. ‘I’m rich! I’m rich! I don’t have to worry about upgrading the system anymore!’

Lin Qi wiped the saliva from his mouth.

Dark King looked at him disdainfully. “Look at how useless you are!”

Lin Qi looked at Dark King speechlessly. He saw that it was wearing a big gold chain around his neck, and his legs were covered with all kinds of bracelets. He walked with a jingling sound.

Shameless!

Lin Qi grabbed a handful of gold coins and was about to put them into the system, but they wouldn’t fit. He only received a system notification.

[ Ding! System upgrade, storage space temporarily closed. ]

‘F*ck! Right, I forgot. The system upgrade. All the functions were closed!’

What a loss!

Lin Qi gritted his teeth, grabbed the gold coins, and put them into his bag.

‘Whatever, I’ll take as many as I can! It’s better than nothing!’

Lin Qi and Dark King searched three or four caves, and all of them were filled with gold coins. Lin Qi’s ribs were badly bruised. If he had known earlier, he would have leveled up a day later, and he would have lost hundreds of millions…

Dark King was still puzzled. “Why are you acting that way? Didn’t you say that there’s enough storage space?”

Lin Qi stammered, “If I say that it’s not enough…”

Dark King did not wait for Lin Qi to finish his sentence and sent him flying with a slap. “I can’t believe you acted all calm and collected earlier!”

Dark King was so angry that he turned around and left. “If it’s not enough, you should have said so earlier. What’s the point of pretending?”

Lin Qi knew that he was in the wrong and could only follow behind Dark King silently. However, his eyes were also paying attention to his surroundings.

He felt wronged. “I didn’t know that the system upgrade would turn off the function!”
