Sky-cracking Rider

Frankly, the half chunk of titanium-containing alloy rough ingot was quite tempting to Chen Fei.

Not sure about its tenderness but it smelled pretty good.

Chen Fei didn't have the abilities of the Metallic Giant Dragons, who could identify the composition and approximate content of metal materials just by smell.

Facing Yilan's enthusiasm, he still hesitated.

"This doesn't seem quite right!"

The female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan, however, said menacingly, "If you don't eat, it means you're not giving face, I'll kill you!"

No sooner said than done, she was ready to rampage—her straightforwardness was lethal.

-

A few people were forcefully heading back to the junkyard.

Leading with a puffed chest and belly was Takar, the HR manager of Aircrew Base 911, who was saying with a stern face to another person lagging half a step behind him, "Sanjani, this is the last time I'm helping you, you should be aware, Chen Fei's boss, the chief mechanic Xiao Ming, is not easy to mess with. When he gets mad, even Chekhov gets pinned to the ground and beaten up.

How many hits do you think you can take?"

The bruised Sanjani pleaded with Takar, hands clasped, "Uncle Takar, just help me this once, please, I really can't swallow this insult. Why should that kid get to make a fortune? That money should be ours."

Although Takar's fellow villagers were cheap laborers, they were not resigned to watching others eat meat while they could only miserably lick the soup. They might not have much ability, but they certainly weren't lacking in ambition.

Especially when it came to a rare opportunity for some extra cash, how could these arrogant, low-skilled individuals just stand by and watch a newcomer, who had been at the Aircrew Base for only a month, snap it up?

Exactly, snap it up!

If he didn't leave the opponent with a face full of mandrake blooms, then all his years of drinking Heng River water had been in vain.

Thinking that as a middle management staff of the aircrew base, he should not be afraid to handle a newbie who had been on the job for only a month, the fully charged HR manager Takar, accompanied by Sanjani and a few other locals had just reached the recycling station, when he saw that female Metallic Giant Dragon violently threatening the young man named Chen Fei.

"If you don't eat, it means you're not giving face, I'll kill you!"

Eat what?

The metal ingot with tooth marks was still lying there on the ground!

The next second, HR manager Takar turned his head without hesitation and walked away, farewell!

Eh?!!! Sanjani and the others, confused, quickly followed him.

"Uncle, uncle, why are you leaving?"

A big slap flew his way.

Smack!~

It hit him squarely.

"Ouch, uncle why are you hitting me?"

Sanjani covered his face, feeling utterly baffled.

"Hitting you? Hitting you is the least I could do. Are you blind or deaf?"

After hurrying out a dozen meters or so, Takar finally slowed down, turned back, and glared angrily at these good-for-nothing rascals, truly a disgrace.

"Ah?"

Sanjani still hadn't caught on, continuing to look dazed and confused.

He felt that the slap was somewhat unjust.

Takar said angrily, "So you guys really want to court death?"

Being one of the mid-level managers at Aircrew Base, he naturally had some skills, even if not capable, his perceptiveness was definitely not lacking.

"Ah!"

It suddenly dawned on the foolish ones that there was a Metallic Giant Dragon in the recycling station.

The frustrated HR manager said, "What 'ah'? Didn't you hear what that Evil Dragon said? Eat the metal chunks, or she'll kill you straight away. Dare you?"

He thought that in a little while, he would have to go collect the bodies of these young people.

Before, he thought this kid was insensitive, but now it seemed, just a run of bad luck. Ever since he joined, he had faced danger repeatedly, and this time, he seemed to have finally lost his life.

Takar even felt some pity for the young Chen Fei—it was such a pitiful fate!

"..."

Sanjani and his few pals simultaneously turned deathly pale.

Can humans chew metal blocks like curry puffs just like the Metallic Giant Dragons?

Whether or not you can bite into it is one thing, but can you digest it after eating it?

Isn't this asking for death?

The key problem is, eating will kill you, not eating will also kill you.

10,000 star yuan a day is indeed tempting, but you have to be alive to spend it, right!?

"Uncle, isn't that kid deceiving us?"

With a face now featuring a full 'Five Finger Mountain,' Sanjani grinned, feeling a bit unwilling to give up just like that.

"I'm not dealing with this matter anymore!"

Takar had come to try to use his authority to pressure Chen Fei into giving up the lucrative job of guiding the Metallic Giant Dragon to Sanjani, as a favor to his relative.

But, while the plan sounded nice, the reality was cruel.

True to the name 'Dragon of Slaughter,' it was not easy to deal with at all, posing a life-threatening risk at any moment.

The HR manager swept away, leaving behind Sanjani and the others exchanging helpless glances, their faces still stinging from the slap.

"Sanjani, what do we do?"

"Takar isn't willing to help us."

"Should we continue?"

The few underlings had only been flaunting their imagined prowess, pretending to have strength supported by others. Now without that backing, they immediately became panic-stricken and clueless, revealing their superficial toughness.

"I refuse to believe that the kid, to curry favor with the Metallic Dragons, really dares to continue acting tough!"

Sanjani, having unsuccessfully coaxed supervisor Takar to take their side, was somewhat furious.

"Hey, Sanjani, don't do anything rash!"

"Don't act impulsively!"

The few who followed Sanjani hurriedly tried to stop him.

Previously, this bunch of brothers had been harshly beaten up by Chen Fei and still remembered it vividly.

They had come thousands of miles to work for money, not to get thrashed.

"I'll just take a look!"

With anger bubbling in his chest, Sanjani was like a man possessed, refusing to let it go.

He turned back, tiptoeing to the recycling station, determined to find out if that kid was in collusion with the Metallic Dragons, putting on a play just for him to see.

Bang!

The second Alloy Ingot fresh out of the mold still had that familiar scent.

Due to the short melting time and the internal convection movement of the molten metal, the quality of the Alloy Ingot was uneven, with each bite altering the composition slightly.

Metallic Dragons: Crunch, crunch...

Chen Fei: Crunch, crunch...

System: Ding! 67 kilograms of Alloy Body discovered. Would you like to absorb it: Yes/No｜?

System: Absorbed 111 grams of Alloy Body, composition ratio: Titanium 61%, Aluminum 15%, Iron 13%, Nickel 5%, Molybdenum 2%, Lithium 1%...

System: Absorbed 101 grams of Alloy Body, composition ratio:...

...

Unable to refuse Yilan's generous hospitality, Chen Fei had to reluctantly sit together, each holding half a Metal Ingot and munching away. Your journey continues with m v|l-e'm,p y r

Neither the man nor the dragon found anything unusual.

But from a distance, the sneakily spying Sanjani looked ashen-faced.

This isn't right, not right at all.

He wanted to burst out and righteously challenge Chen, questioning why he could eat Metal Ingots—it was entirely unscientific.

Even with Pica, you can't just treat hard Alloy Ingots like chocolate!

That's brutal!

Just being able to bite into them was baffling enough.

"Sanjani, is that guy still human?"

"My god, is that a chunk of iron? He bit it right off."

"Terrifying, truly!!!"

The few who had come along turned pale, almost mistaking it for two Metallic Dragons at the recycling center.

Those teeth, that appetite, clearly not human!

"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me, I know nothing..."

The distraught Sanjani sat down with a thump, but the next second he jumped up as if his pants were on fire and started running.

All thoughts of confronting Chen Fei had vanished in a whiff.

He had no courage to also grab a piece of metal and gnaw on it.

"Hey, Sanjani, what's wrong?"

"Hurry up, don't be rash!"

The few underlings quickly chased after him, soon disappearing without a trace.

Ding! Devoured 1 ton of metal, earned Energy Points +1, Current Energy Points: 12/5000

Ding! New mission acquired!

1. Kill a good person within seventy-two hours to earn Energy Points +100 (Failure to complete on time, death!)

Bang!~

The small chunk of Alloy Ingot that Chen Fei had been holding fell to the ground, creating a small crater.

Damn... this system is toxic!!!
