After a satisfying meal, Lu Yu rose from the table and prepared for the day’s tasks. He had two objectives. The first would be venturing outside the city and uncovering the secrets within the cave.

The second would be to visit Yi Tianjing, President of the Chamber of Commerce, to inquire about the city’s current state.

He arrived at Zhao Qingya’s office, finding her already immersed in work despite the early hour.

“Busy already?” He inquired. “What’s keeping you occupied?”

“You eliminated so many dragons! I’ve dispatched a small team to collect their remains. Every part of a dragon is valuable, a treasure trove of resources.”

“I see. Then continue with your tasks,” Lu Yu instructed. “I’m heading to investigate the cave.”

Zhao Qingya looked up at him, a smile dancing in her eyes. “Really? If you go today, make sure to conduct a thorough investigation and definitively resolve the situation there.”

“Once that’s settled, we can set off for the capital,” she added excitedly.

Lu Yu offered a curt nod. “No problem. I’ll handle it as soon as possible. I also want to reach the capital. Last night was too short, otherwise I would have explored the cave immediately.”

“Alright, but be cautious,” Zhao Qingya warned. “Our preliminary assessment suggests the presence of a fungus or virus within the cave, likely responsible for infecting the dragons and causing this situation. Upon entering, be careful not to contract it yourself. Most importantly, keep your dragon contained to avoid its infection. We currently lack a solution, so prevention is key.”

Lu Yu waved dismissively. “I’m immune to all poisons,” he declared nonchalantly. “The dragon won’t be released. I can handle this alone. And if all else fails, I’ll burn the cave down.”

Zhao Qingya nodded in acquiescence. “Very well, I won’t delay you further. Go and resolve this matter. Return when you’re finished, and we can begin preparations for our trip to the capital.”

Lu Yu strode to the window, unfurled his dragon wings, and took to the sky.

As Zhao Qingya watched his figure disappear into the distance, she let out a sigh. “What a magnificent pair of dragon wings. It would be incredible to have a pair like that myself.”

After soaring into the sky, Lu Yu immediately set course for the marked location on the map. It lay on the side of a towering mountain, requiring a challenging climb to reach.

He pondered the improbability of giant dragons scaling such heights for no apparent reason. There had to be something within the cave that attracted them, something that could then parasitize them.

Soon, Lu Yu arrived outside the city. He spotted several teams advancing through the jungle and plains, heading towards the dragon corpses. These were the individuals tasked with dealing with the remains.

“They’re going to be ecstatic this time,” Lu Yu mused. “With so many dragon corpses to handle, they’ll likely make a fortune.”

Suddenly, he noticed two groups engaged in a heated confrontation within the forest. He could clearly distinguish their attire; one team in hunting team uniforms, the other clad in black armor. This latter group appeared uniformed and carried a flag, suggesting affiliation with the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.

Intrigued, Lu Yu descended towards the scene.

On the forest floor, the warm spring breeze was shattered by the sounds of gunfire.

“We found this dragon first, so it rightfully belongs to us! Why is the hunting team trying to muscle in? You didn’t even kill it!”

The leader of the black armored team stood amidst the commotion, directing his question at the hunting team captain.

“These dragons were all killed by our people, so we should be the ones handling them!”

“Cut the act! We found the dragon’s corpse, so it’s ours. Move aside unless you can prove you killed it!”

The leader of the Black Armored Squad, Zhao Yu, sized up the hunting team captain, Leo, with disdain. “You’re wearing a spotless white robe. Clearly, you didn’t kill it. What are you even talking about?”

Leo clenched his fists, glaring at the man. “Greedy bastard!”

Zhao Yu let out a mocking laugh. “Ha! I don’t care what you say. This dragon’s corpse belongs to us. You lot can look elsewhere.”

Just then, Lu Yu’s figure gracefully descended between the two, drawing their simultaneous attention.

Zhao Yu looked at Lu Yu curiously, then glanced skyward. “Big Brother, how’d you fall from the sky?”

Lu Yu turned to Leo. “What’s all this arguing about? It can’t be over this corpse, right?”

“Exactly! This guy’s being completely unreasonable. Our hunting team clearly killed the dragon, but he wants to claim it all for himself! It’s infuriating!”

Zhao Yu glared at Leo. “Why don’t you find the person who killed the dragon? I think you’re just making things up. How can you prove the hunting team killed it? I even claimed the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce did it!”

“You scoundrel! Are you trying to distort the truth?”

“Nonsense. If you can bring the killer here, I’ll admit you’re right.”

“Bring your ass! He’s a high-ranking official, how could I possibly meet him? Even in my professional career, it’s incredibly difficult to meet him. My rank isn’t nearly high enough. Aren’t you making things difficult for me by saying this?”

“Then I don’t care. If you can’t prove you killed the dragon, you’re not getting it!”

The two were at an impasse once more.

Lu Yu stepped forward, his voice firm. “Enough of this arguing. I killed the dragon.”

Leo and Zhao Yu exchanged incredulous glances, then burst out laughing.

“Another one? This is even more ridiculous! He’s talking nonsense, even crazier than Leo!” Zhao Yu exclaimed in frustration.

“What did you say?” Leo glared at him.

He then turned to Lu Yu. “You killed it? Impossible, you just arrived. How can you prove it?”

“Our Deputy Mayor personally came here and went through a lot of trouble to get rid of this dragon. You claim you killed it? Are you trying to steal his credit?”

Lu Yu approached him. “Do I need to steal my own credit?”

He lowered his head, pointing at the badge on his chest. “Take two steps forward and see what this is.”

“What?”

Leo hesitantly took two steps forward and examined the badge on Lu Yu’s chest.

“Deputy Mayor Badge! Are you serious? You’re the real deal?”

He stared at Lu Yu in surprise, then took two nervous steps back.

Witnessing this, Zhao Yu was equally dumbfounded. “You really killed it?”

Lu Yu addressed them both. “If you don’t believe me, let’s do this. Release your dragon battle pets, and I’ll fight them all by myself. What do you say?”

Lu Yu calmly proposed.
