Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 361 Blue Dragon Deal
Noticing Lan Mo's unhealed wounds and the pained expression he still wore when he landed, Su Ming immediately arranged for the crew to take care of him.

"Immediately build a shelter for our distinguished guest."

"Should we prepare food for him?" The supervisor on duty quickly stepped forward to ask.

“Of course,” Su Ming answered without hesitation, “I’ll prepare whatever he wants to eat, and make sure he’s full.”

"understand!"

The logistics team immediately sprang into action; this wasn't the first time they'd entertained a dragon. Some set up tents, while others cooked large pots of food.

As for the exchange of supplies with the Feathered Clan, Su Ming didn't need to worry about it too much. After the order was given, the dormant undead creatures deep inside the ship's hold were activated and orderly carried out boxes of goods.

The mages, skilled in ice magic, joined forces to cast spells, constructing a twenty-meter-high ice slide that extended from the ship's side directly onto the ice below. The heavy cargo was then smoothly lowered down this crystal-clear slide.

The trainees got to work with great enthusiasm, and although the scene was busy, it was well-organized.

Su Ming then went to the bridge command center and quickly reviewed the latest report on "Shining Island".

The report indicated that the construction on "Shining Island" was progressing smoothly, the ships had largely regained their self-propulsion capabilities, and preparations for departure were complete. Su Ming quickly made arrangements, ordering them to set sail immediately towards the area where the "Pansy" was located.

As agreed, all these ships will be handed over to the Feathered Clan for management. On the one hand, the Feathered Clan is about to begin a full-scale construction project on "Eternal Night Territory," and urgently needs a large number of ocean-going vessels with long-range capabilities for support.

More importantly, the Feathered Clan will repair and modify the received ships, using them as the foundation to build a powerful ocean-going naval force. This navy will serve and obey Su Ming for the foreseeable future.

This is precisely the most crucial condition in the series of transactions previously reached between the two sides. In this matter, both sides got what they wanted. The Feathered Clan yearned to leave the icy plains and venture into the wider world, but a mere territorial treaty was insufficient to protect their safety.

The real core guarantee lies in a powerful ocean-going force and the corresponding strategic projection capability.

From Su Ming's perspective, his core development direction and strategic focus are not here. It would be too extravagant and wasteful to use the personnel of "End-Bone Mad Machine" as sailors and ship pilots.

When the massive transport fleet of the Feathered Clan finally arrived at the unloading point on the ice, nearly half of the supplies on the ship had already been lowered down the ice slide.

Lan Mo, on the other hand, finally got to taste the delicious food he had been longing for. After a whirlwind of wolfing down the food, the enormous blue dragon contentedly patted its swollen belly, then lay comfortably on the deck, closing its eyes to rest.

"I'm so sorry, please excuse my rudeness." Having filled his stomach, Lan Mo finally had the leisure to think about other things. He said to Su Ming beside him in a slightly lazy tone, "It's been a full fifty years since I've tasted such a nostalgic flavor!"

"It's alright, I completely understand." Su Ming smiled empathetically. He also missed the food on Earth. "If I couldn't eat anything decent for fifty years, my reaction would probably be even more exaggerated than yours."

Lan Mo raised his massive head slightly, gazing curiously towards the bow of the ship. "By the way," he said, as if remembering something, "when I approached just now, I noticed a rectangular iron box over there, raised and pointed at us—what was that thing?"

"Uh... well—" Su Ming's mind raced, and he said naturally, "That's a signal light! Used to show a warm welcome!"

"Hmm..." Lan Mo nodded thoughtfully, accepting the explanation, but then added with great interest, "I heard those little guys from the Feather Clan mention that your summoned beast put on a very beautiful fireworks display. So, can this signal light also set off fireworks?"

"I only had a minor plane crash! This is going to be a huge deal!" Su Ming felt a sense of helplessness.

"Uh, well... it's not working right now, there's been a little malfunction." Su Ming made his voice sound apologetic. "Next time, once it's fixed, I'll show it to you."

****
After Lan Mo had eaten and drunk his fill, he carried Su Ming and flew back to Thousand Blade Dragon Cliff.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Lan Mo thanked him sincerely again and led Su Ming to the "treasure area" in the very center of his dragon's nest.

"You're welcome," Su Ming replied, his gaze drawn to the mountain of dragon collectibles.

Inside the cave, illuminated by the flickering light of the magical torches, countless crystals and minerals reflected a dazzling array of colors. The vast majority of them were actually just ordinary stones with beautiful colors, such as rose quartz, malachite, lapis lazuli, and labradorite shimmering with iridescence.

In the alchemical system of this other world, the practical uses of these stones are indeed quite limited.

Su Ming bent down and picked up a beautiful stone with a unique rose-red color and milky white winding patterns on its surface. His eyes lit up – rhodochrosite!

He immediately looked up, his eyes fixed intently on Lan Mo's mountain of mineral collection, realizing that there must be a lot of good stuff in there!

A sly smile appeared on Su Ming's face. "Hey, Lan Mo, have you ever heard of something called a 'game console'?"

****
An hour later, Lan Mo was completely immersed in the magic of the game and couldn't pull herself away.

Even a mere dragon must submit to such hard control!
His enormous dragon claws were fitted with specially designed sensors, and even the joints of his broad wings were adorned with sensor rings. With his slightly clumsy yet fully engaged movements, the character on the virtual screen nimbly rolled, jumped, and dug through the pixelated world, constantly finding glittering "gems."

The only drawback was that the 160-inch giant screen hanging on the wall looked particularly small and pitiful against the backdrop of the blue dragon's enormous body.

Su Ming looked with satisfaction at the newly signed contract in his hand, the ink still wet, and handed it to the student waiting beside him. He then pointed to Lan Mo's "gemstone" collection and said, "Immediately organize everyone to come over and carefully clean this huge pile of ores. Pack up anything valuable and useful and take it back. For transportation, coordinate with the Feather Clan for assistance."

"Yes! Understood!" The student immediately accepted the order and quickly turned to leave.
