Dragon Raja: Starting with acquiring Orochi, a counterattack against the gods.

—Remember to eat breakfast.

With a slight sigh in her heart, Yuan Zhinv tidied herself up briefly, picked up her knife and breakfast, and went out.

The simulator times were refreshed, and she headed straight to where Old Tang was.

Because of her instructions, the man was now hidden in the deepest part of Genji Heavy Industries, under heavy surveillance everywhere. He had not woken up yet due to his serious injuries, otherwise he would have been scared to death seeing such a big scene.

Without any hindrance, Yuan Zhinü approached the man's side. Looking at his pale and peaceful sleeping face, she slowly raised her knife, imagining severing his head with a single stroke, while silently chanting in her mind, "Begin simulation."

[Ding, simulation begins—]

[On the first day, you killed the defenseless Old Tang and cut off his head with a single blow. He died, and at the moment of death his body suddenly exploded. The huge flames caused a violent burning, affecting the entire Genji Heavy Industries.]

[On the second day, you were injured in the flames and discovered that your bloodline had not improved significantly; the experience you gained was even less than that of the dragon-shaped corpse guardian. You were very puzzled.]

On the third day, you couldn't find the reason, and Old Tang didn't turn into the Dragonbone Cross, but you were certain that he was Norton.

【…】

On the 7th day, Old Tang's body disappeared.

【…】

On the 13th day, you returned to the academy, but still felt something was amiss. You believed that the Dragon King's experience should not be limited to such a small amount, so you continued browsing the Hunter Network in an attempt to find the answer.

【…】

On the 32nd day, you found a senior scholar researching dragons on the Hunter Network. You asked him questions and it seems you've discovered a clue.

【…】

[On the 45th day, you finally understand where the problem lies. Before the Dragon King awakens, he cannot be considered a dragon. Killing him before he awakens his power will not yield the Dragon Bone Cross. He is not truly dead; he will cocoon again on the spot, which is why his body does not decay.]

On the 46th day, you realize that killing an unawakened dragon will not grant you any power, and Norton is not truly dead; his corpse has become his cocoon, but you do not know who stole him.

On the 47th day, the academy prepared to send people to the Three Gorges Reservoir in China, seemingly to carry out some kind of mission.

【…】

On the 52nd day, the academy launched the "Kui Gate" mission. You know they are preparing to search for Constantine, and you apply to participate.

[On the 53rd day, Angers rejected your application and your request for an interview]

【…】

On the 65th day, Angers left the academy. He seemed to be going to do something very important, and you felt that you couldn't just sit and wait for things to happen.

On the 66th day, you contacted Uesugi Kozue to prepare to go to the Three Gorges Reservoir to retrieve Constantine ahead of schedule.

【…】

[On the 84th day, there was still no trace of Angers, as if he was being held back by someone. You left the academy and went to China, where you met up with the people from the Sheqi Eight Clan at the Three Gorges Reservoir]

[On the 85th day, you begin exploring the Three Gorges Reservoir]

On the 86th day, an unexpected discovery was made. It seemed someone had been waiting there all along. They woke Constantine before you could, and upon discovering his brother's death, he went berserk.

On the 87th day, the Snake Clan suffered heavy losses due to the sudden attack, and you killed Constantine, who had been forcibly awakened.

[On the 88th day, you obtained a dragon bone cross, significantly improving your bloodline, but not as much as you expected. It seems the experience gained from killing dragons is directly proportional to the strength of the dragon itself.]

On the 89th day, the very day you returned to Japan with the Dragon Bone Cross, the Snake-Headed Eight Families were attacked, the Dragon Bone Cross disappeared, and Uesugi Koshi, who guarded the Dragon Bone Cross, died silently.

On the 90th day, you saw Odin riding his eight-legged steed in the remaining surveillance footage, but he didn't attack you; instead, he seemed to be waiting for something. You know he's waiting for you to become the White King.

[This simulation has ended]

[Drawing reward items]

[Currently available: Junyan Trial Card*1, Potion that can forcibly awaken dragons*1, greatly enhancing bloodline]

Please select one, host.

Yuan Zhinv stared blankly at the simulation results for a long time before finally squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth: "As expected."

No one knows whether Bondarev is Odin or not, but he is not worried at all about Genji killing Doflamingo, because he knows that an unawakened Dragon King is not a dragon and will not produce a dragon bone cross, and will cocoon again.

Therefore, in the original story, they should have known about Norton's human identity long ago, but they hesitated to take action against Donald. Instead, they killed Constantine in front of him, forcing him to awaken.

Through this simulation, Genji also obtained an important clue: the experience she gained from killing dragons was not based on the dragon's bloodline, but on the dragon's strength. Therefore, Old Tang, who was still human, did not receive as much experience as the dragon-shaped corpse guardian.

Even if we really want to kill the Dragon King, we have to wait until they awaken, otherwise it will be almost meaningless.

Moreover, if she did it as described in the original story, she would be doing all the work for someone else. Too many people are watching her and Japan, especially that cunning old fox Odin who gets his hands on the Dragon Bone Cross when he is not strong enough. It would be a case of "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

But letting it go unchecked is out of the question. If she lets Old Tang go today, that loser will take them both down as soon as he starts school tomorrow, and then she really won't get anything out of it.

Genjitsu didn't like to make wedding dresses for others, nor did she like to have her favorite things snatched away by others. Her brain was working fast, and she quickly came up with a plan in her mind. She picked up a potion that could awaken dragons, and went to find Uesugi Yue in a straightforward manner.

Before Uesugi could even say a word, the girl in front of him said, "I've decided, let's not kill Norton yet, let's go get his brother Constantine first."

“I don’t think one dragon is enough. Since they are twins, the whole family should be together. Let’s just catch them all at once.”

The girl's calm tone made it sound like she was saying that having one pet wasn't enough, you should have two so they could keep each other company.

But who keeps a Dragon King as a pet?!

But Yuan Zhinu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She even asked him with a confident look: "Dad, what do you think of my idea?"

Uesugi Koshi: "..."

Uesugi Echizen didn't think much of it.

The world has gone mad, so mad that even this old man can't understand it anymore.

Chapter 85 The Dragon King will never be a slave, unless he is provided with food and lodging.

When Old Tang awoke from his coma, he found himself seemingly imprisoned.

He felt a little scared, and cautiously half-opened his eyes to look around. Then he met the gaze of the girl sitting not far away.

The girl was still pale and thin, looking as if she was in poor health and very weak, not much different from when he first saw her, but Old Tang immediately froze.

Because he knew what kind of hideous and terrifying face was hidden beneath the girl's delicate appearance.

Yuan Zhinv didn't care what others thought of her. Seeing that the person was awake, she was too lazy to waste words and said directly, "You were hit by a stray bullet when you were running away and almost died from your injuries. I saved you."

The response was crisp and logical. Old Tang felt a little awkward. Although he didn't know why this guy had saved him, he still hesitated before asking, "Well, thank you?"

Although a simple thank you might not be enough to express the immense debt of gratitude for saving his life, he was penniless and had nothing but debts. Trying to gain anything from saving him was like trying to save a dog...

He thought helplessly, but thankfully the girl didn't seem to want anything in return. She just nodded to indicate that she understood.

Old Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could exhale completely, he heard the girl speak again.

"Have you offended anyone recently?" Yuan Zhinu's face was expressionless, completely focused on the matter at hand: "Those people in the camp are all after you."

"Including those dead servants in the ancient tomb and the final monster, they are all after you."

Upon hearing this, Old Tang's eyes widened in shock: "What?!"

He instinctively shook his head violently, vehemently denying it: "How could that be? What am I to be worthy of such a title?"

He's just an ordinary person, at most he has a little more talent than others, and some strange things don't dare to get close to him, so he's audacious enough to take on some missions to earn extra money, but that doesn't mean he's anything special!

If he had enough money, he could stay home all day, playing games and watching anime. He wouldn't need to socialize. If he got really bored, he would chat with some loser. He was just an ordinary shut-in, nothing special.

But this girl actually said that those scary guys were all after him. How could that be? He didn't even know those people.

Looking at the man in front of her who was frantically shaking his head and denying it, Yuan Zhinü still didn't react. She calmly said, "Don't rush to deny it. Think about it carefully. Don't you feel like someone is always watching you?"

"If you live in a monitored environment for a long time, you're bound to notice some clues. Think about it carefully, don't you have that feeling?"

Upon hearing this, the man seemed to begin to think, his expression shifting from disbelief to bewilderment, and finally to terror.

Noticing his change in mood, Yuan Zhinü spoke up at the opportune moment: "Did you remember something?"

Based on the results of the simulation not long ago, and her memory of the original work, Yuan Zhinv boldly guessed and came to the conclusion that not only she, but also Lao Tang should have been under surveillance all along.

Many people, or rather many organizations, know that the King of Bronze and Fire has become a human who remembers nothing, so it's impossible for them not to monitor him.

Including the acquaintance between Lao Tang and that bad boy, it felt like a designed script. At least in the original book, he was destined to be killed by that loyal brother, like a sacrifice.

There's always a price to pay for the return of God, and Old Tang is unfortunate; he's one of those prices.

He and his brother were both sacrificial offerings and victims of the Dragon War. Genji was not a kind person who liked to help others, let alone this guy who was not even human. But since she had decided to reap the rewards, she naturally had to make full preparations.

First, she needs to figure out exactly how much Old Tang knows, and then persuade him, who is still human, to stay in Japan willingly, and then consider killing or cooperating after he awakens.

Norton had worked with Gongsun Shu before, so he had a history of cooperating with humans. Perhaps he wasn't completely unpersuasive. Besides, when he was disguised as Li Xiong, he helped humans with a lot of government affairs. He was a rare strategist.

Most importantly, he also understands top-level alchemy and fire manipulation. Historically, he has been quite trustworthy. If Odin were to truly win him over, he would probably be in for a headache. He seems much more useful than those brats from Kassel College and that old man Den.

However, to persuade the awakened Norton, they'll probably have to bring his brother over first, since he's a brother-obsessed guy.

Judging from Lao Tang's expression now, he clearly knows something.

"Now that you mention it, I remember. I always felt like someone was watching me. Last time, that meter reader secretly glanced at me several times! He looked so shifty, I almost thought he had designs on me!"

Genjiro: "...Is there anything else?"

"And then there's that damn website. Every time I log in, I feel like someone is secretly watching me, but I have no proof. It's terrifying!"

Old Tang became more and more agitated as he spoke. These details, which he had never noticed before, were now terrifying to think about. He even wondered if he had really been living under the watchful eyes of others all along.

But why? He clearly doesn't have anything special about him!

Yuan Zhinü's description confirmed her suspicions. Sure enough, if even she was being watched, how could Old Tang, as the true Dragon King, not be monitored?

"Your intuition is probably right. You've been living under surveillance all along. Do you want to break free?"

Old Tang's heart sank when he heard this, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his eyes lit up instantly: "How do we get rid of them?"

"Stay here." Yuan Zhinv's tone was very calm: "You know too much. I wanted to kill you because of a misunderstanding before, and it seems that I scared you. As compensation, I am willing to help you this once."

Old Tang stared at her blankly, seemingly not having come to his senses.

"Stay here, and I'll guarantee your safety. As far as I know, you probably don't have any relatives or friends, and you don't have any fixed assets, right?"

Old Tang clutched his chest with one hand: "Why did you suddenly become so hurtful? Girl, are you made of knives?"

Yuan Zhinu looked at him innocently: "The truth always hurts."

Old Tang: "So where exactly is this place? I still don't know!"

“This is Japan.” Genji looked out the window at the bright lights of the city and casually said, “You must really like games and anime, right? There are lots of them here, and there’s also Akihabara, the paradise for otaku.”
