Life is tough, so Honglong resorts to performing?

Chapter 68 The Beginning of Conflict

"You've remembered everything I taught you, right?"

"I'm helping you keep your job, and I might even get you a promotion and make you a star. You should understand, right?"

Loren repeatedly confirmed with the female internet celebrity, and only after receiving affirmative answers from her several times did he find a spot to put the woman and the cameraman down.

Honestly, Loren never expected that his show would be so explosive, attracting the attention of the devils.

He clearly just wanted to find a place with food and lodging; the performance and antics were all just to persuade Maurice, and the lines were made up on the spot.

What can I say? The dynamics and developments of the world are beyond your imagination.

When a stone is thrown into the water, what the ripples will hit and bounce back from is something you can't actually control.

Once you do something, you can't control what will happen next.

The devils, these lawful evil beings from the lower planes, thrived in the Federation era, making a name for themselves.

If it weren't for insufficient military strength, it would be hard to say who the Federation would belong to now.

The entertainment industry, as the foundation of the devils, is almost divided between the devils who like to pull off big stunts.

In this situation, a five-colored evil dragon cub, who doesn't belong to them and is extremely valuable, suddenly squeezed in. Their current methods are probably just the beginning.

It shouldn't be long, at most next month, before other five-colored dragon cubs appear in the devil's zoo or entertainment company, quickly make a name for themselves, and use the devil's publicity methods to compete with them.

As for why it's next month, it's because the public notice period will have passed next month.

The lower level of protection allows the devils to more easily draft more advantageous contracts.

"It's giving me a headache. It feels like there's more and more to do."

Loren shook his head and watched the woman leave.

He didn't expect this fool to fool him for long. It's possible for an idiot to defeat a master, but it's not something to be hoped for.

It's always good to be able to fool people for a little longer.

As the party that already lacks resources, when facing a crisis, it should use everything it has.

There's a joke about snipers from a past life that's just like that.

Since the opposing team has a sniper with poor aim, let's keep him around for now. We can't let the enemy replace him with someone who's more accurate.

Loren was fed up with scheming against smart people. Fools, if placed in the right spot, can be resources too!

For example, the house across the street.

Loren thought with no small amount of malice.

However, he quickly shifted his attention back to the present.

Time to eat!

With a flap of its wings, the red dragon flew towards the Lava Heart arena.

Outside the venue, several cleaned goats were placed on a food cart with Loren's cartoon image printed on it.

Tourists waited on the sidelines, eager to witness the giant dragon pouncing on its prey.

"he came!"

He's here!

With a gasp, the crowd looked up and saw a red figure appear on the horizon.

As people watched, the red dragon slowly descended, like a gliding bird.

As he approached the food cart, countless camera flashes rang out. The red dragon extended its hind claws, and with one swipe, it snatched away all the pieces of meat.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless, eliciting gasps of amazement from the tourists.

Immediately, Loren's figure flickered, and he turned and entered the magic circle to prepare today's lunch. Loren remembered Morris's instructions to do some work, so he had no choice but to fly down to the ground below, and with a gentle lift of his dragon claw, five sharp earth spikes rose up.

Loren took the pieces of meat from the food cart and stuck them one by one into the spikes. Then, he grabbed a low-level fire elemental, imprisoned it in the spikes, and lit a ring of flames around it.

If he dares to come out, Loren will beat him up.

The little red dragon's childish behavior immediately drew laughter and discussion from those around him, while the druid apprentices took the opportunity to educate the others about Loren's age.

This shows that his behavior is completely in line with his age!

Yes, he's still a child!
The midday commotion and performances quickly subsided, and Loren returned to the top of his skull to engage in deep meditation and study of the Dragon's Legacy.

During his meditation, videos and performances related to him began to circulate on the Magic Crystal network, especially the photos of him grabbing a female internet celebrity after snatching her hat.

After all, there were many other tourists present, not just cameramen and female internet celebrities.

An inexplicable undercurrent, as if receiving some signal, began to surge.

The sun sets in the west.

As music urging the tourists to leave played, Loren awoke from his deep meditation.

After an afternoon of meditation, his magical abilities improved, and he also came to understand some things.

He looked around and saw that Morris seemed to be standing outside the Lava Heart arena with something in his hand.

Seeing this, Loren spread his wings and flew away. During the flight, his form kept changing, and finally he transformed back into the image of the red-haired youth and came to Maurice.

"Two pieces of news, one good and one bad."

Morris spoke to Loren, his expression showing a hint of anxiety and self-reproach.

"The bad news is, someone is trying to sabotage me on the Magic Crystal Network, right?"

Before Morris could speak, Loren calmly said, "Although I was never a star in my previous life, I may not have eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run, haven't I?"

Since they've already come here to cause trouble, they must have prepared smear articles. If you can do something, surely you can do it in another world too?

Seeing Morris nod, Loren smiled.

"Then tell me the good news?"

"This is your earnings for today, all in this card, about three thousand copper coins. It's not much, but it's a good start."

Morris smiled at this; Loren was much calmer than he had expected, which was a good thing.

"Regarding the matter of someone smearing me, do you know about the Devil's Entertainment Company?"

Loren asked the question, and Morris's face showed even more shame.

Upon seeing this, Loren understood.

"Don't blame yourself too much. After all, you're not a professional, so it's normal that you don't know these inside stories."

As Loren spoke, Morris was, after all, just an ordinary person. Even though he was the head steward of the Emerald Leaf Rare Zoo, someone who controlled the economic lifeline, he clearly didn't understand the world of the superhumans very well.

"Do we have the means to retaliate? For example, we have connections in higher-ups, right?"

Loren opened his mouth, and the size and design of the Emerald Leaf Rare Site clearly indicated that it was a small Druid base.

Loren didn't believe that this place wasn't connected to the upper echelons of Cuiye City.

"Yes, there are, but is it appropriate to involve those kinds of things in this kind of civil dispute?"

Morris was somewhat conflicted; in his eyes, things clearly hadn't reached that point yet!

"Ha, our opponent is the devil, and the devil is notorious for bullying the weak and fearing the strong; he cannot be protracted into a fight."

“If we can’t even take a tough stance against them in Cuiye City, then zoo protection and animal welfare in other places will all be just empty talk.”

Loren sneered. So-called order is just the group with the biggest fist! This is Greenleaf City, the druid stronghold of the nearby cities!
