Lu Fan couldn't help but feel irritated. The people from Taiji Kingdom clearly weren't winning any awards for manners.
He had no intention of engaging in more idle talk and asked bluntly, "Since you're not planning to sit, then just tell me why you're here."
Cui Hongtai smiled faintly, exuding an air of arrogance. "We're here to give you a chance to make a name for yourself."
"A chance to make a name for myself?" Lu Fan looked puzzled.
Jin Zhu still didn't speak, only signaling with her eyes.
Cui Hongtai nodded and shared an illustrated record with Lu Fan.
Lu Fan opened it and was slightly surprised.
It was a dragon egg—clear as day.
Armored Earth Dragon Egg: (Platinum-tier Special Item)
Description: Can be tamed using Dragon Taming Skills. Upon successful taming, you will gain a dragon pet—Armored Earth Dragon (Hatchling Form).
Armored Earth Dragon (Earth Dragon Type, Hatchling Form)
Level: 1
Gender: Male
Strength: 72
Agility: 67
Spirit: 35
Endurance: 133
Skills:
Armored Earth Dragon Hide (Passive, LV1)—The naturally tough skin of the Armored Earth Dragon reduces the power of all attribute-based attacks it receives by 10%.
Tail Sweep (Active Skill, LV1): Sweeps its massive tail to attack enemies.
Truth be told, the dragon inside this egg had pretty solid stats—especially its endurance, which had already crossed into triple digits. That kind of number was out of reach for most human beings.
It was proof of just how formidable dragons could be.
However, once you've glimpsed the ocean, no other water compares. Lu Fan had already seen Little Night's stats at level one.
Compared to Little Night, this Armored Earth Dragon barely qualified as a dragon. It was more like a thick-skinned lizard.
At most, it was just a tougher-than-average lizard.
Not to mention the stats—even just looking at skills, this Armored Earth Dragon couldn't hold a candle to Little Night.
This dragon only had one passive skill: Armored Earth Dragon Hide. It lacked all the powerful passives like Dragon Bloodline or Dragon Physique.
And even its one passive was a joke—Little Night reduced damage by 50%, and this thing only had 10%. The gap was obvious.
As for its active skill, Tail Sweep certainly wasn't as powerful as Giant Maw Strike. And it didn't have anything like Little Night's Molten Flame Breath.
With a measly 35 points in spirit, Lu Fan figured this dragon probably wouldn't learn any magic-based skills in the future either.
In the end, it was just a big, tanky lizard.
Even in its specialty—defense—it was nowhere near Little Night's level.
Then again, it made sense. Little Night's egg was a Mythical-tier special item. This one? Just Platinum-tier.
Lu Fan didn't know a ton about dragon species, but he had heard they were divided by bloodline into true dragons, subdragons, and so on.
This one here was likely even lower than a subdragon—just a basic Earth Dragon.
If its bloodline were any thinner, it probably wouldn't even qualify as an Earth Dragon anymore. It would just be called an "Armored Dragon Lizard."
Honestly, Lu Fan wasn't impressed.
"How is it? Surprised?" Jin Zhu saw Lu Fan staring at the profile silently and assumed he was stunned by what he saw. She completely missed the part where he just forgot to make a face.
She raised her delicate eyebrows smugly and said, "It's normal for someone with little experience to be shocked by such a powerful dragon."
"I'll tell you this—it's a dragon. Possibly the only dragon in the world that can be controlled by a human."
"This dragon egg was a reward obtained by our Jin family from a secret realm known as the Earth Dragon's Abandoned Nest. It's one of a kind. There's no way another one exists."
"Even though it only contains partial dragon bloodline as an Earth Dragon, it's still the real deal—an extremely powerful existence!"
"I'm sure you could tell from its amazing stats just how strong it is, and how much potential it holds in the future. Isn't that right?"
Lu Fan looked at Jin Zhu, so full of herself, acting like this egg was some divine gift—and he really couldn't bring himself to break her spirit by saying: You call that a dragon?
Do you want me to show you Little Night's stats?
But he chose to be kind.
He held back his laughter and gave a perfunctory nod. "Yeah, the stats are pretty good."
"..." Jin Zhu's smile froze a bit.
Lu Fan's calm reaction left her confused. Was he just ignorant and unable to appreciate the value of the dragon egg? Or was he acting indifferent because he knew this dragon had nothing to do with him?
Yes, that must be it.
Either he was clueless about what this dragon egg truly represented, or he knew it wasn't his to own and thus didn't bother to care.
Thinking that, Jin Zhu felt a little better.
