Dragon Clan: Undercover at the beginning, the road to becoming a god

In the evening, the Three Gorges Reservoir of the Yangtze River, Kuimen.

"The temperature is normal!"

"The water temperature is normal!"

"...Each equipment has completed its self-test and is operating normally. No targets suspected of being the Dragon King have been found so far!"

A detection ship larger than the Monyach floated quietly on the river.

Although the Vidal is registered as a detection ship like the Monyach, it carries more powerful firepower than the Monyach, and its firepower is even higher than that of ordinary cruisers.

This is the bottom-line support of the Gattuso family. The entire mixed-race society knows that the Gattuso family is bankrupt, but no one thought that they could still afford this level of equipment and even maintain it even when they were bankrupt. Very good.

"Still haven't found anything?"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Caesar, as the captain, shook his head and looked towards the sparkling river.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched a red shadow on the water, like a fiery sword, cutting the river in half.

The Vidal's search has continued for a day, and still no target other than fish schools has been found.

When I heard Caesar's words, I remembered a lazy voice behind him, even snorting Coke while talking.

"After all, it is the Yangtze River. Even with a radar modified by the Equipment Department, trying to find the Dragon King in this water body is completely like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not to mention that this Dragon King is most likely still a human body. If you want to find it so quickly, It’s very difficult for him!”

Fingel was wearing beach pants and lying on the hammock on the deck, answering Caesar's words in a nonchalant manner. Those who didn't know thought he was on vacation.

Hearing this, Caesar frowned slightly.

Fingel's words are not wrong. It is indeed a bit wishful to want to find the Dragon King with just a ship's retrieval device, but——

"Didn't you suggest that this is one of the most efficient ways to find Dragon King Norton?"

Caesar questioned.

What he adopted was Fingel's own opinion. Who knew that Fingel would casually deny what he said now, as if he had no moral integrity at all.

"That's a conjecture based on assumptions! Dragon King Norton is the King of Bronze and Fire. If he has the same authority as Constantine before, maybe he also has some kind of fire element shield around his body. Then his The body temperature is bound to be higher than that of ordinary organisms, and we can roughly determine its location just by detecting infrared rays and water temperature."

Fingel sighed helplessly, spread his hands, and expressed his thoughts.

Radar is only an auxiliary. What is really important is the water temperature detector and infrared detector. As long as the hypothesis is established, these data will inevitably show a certain pattern.

"But who knows that these data haven't changed at all. It seems that this assumption is wrong. The King of Bronze and Fire is not necessarily a big furnace. That guy is more of a chicken thief than I thought. His body temperature is most likely the same as that of a fish. Just based on Infrared detection couldn't detect anything unusual about him, and radar detection couldn't tell the difference between humans and large fish."

Before discussing finding needles in a haystack, we also need to discuss whether we can tell the difference between needles, otherwise we may not be able to recognize them even if we detect them.

If the hypothesis is true and Dragon King Norton's body surface temperature is extremely high, it will not be difficult to find the Dragon King's location.

But if the hypothesis is not established, they obviously cannot effectively distinguish the difference between the Dragon King and the fish.

Like now.

"Then what should we do, drive away all the large fish nearby?"

Caesar made a suggestion that was not quite a suggestion.

Fish respond differently to noise. Some sounds can attract fish, while others can repel fish.

If you can't tell the difference between the Dragon King and the fish school, then you only need to drive away the fish school. Wouldn't only the Dragon King be left?

"It's really the style of a rich man, but I suggest you not to do this."

Fingel shook his head again.

"Why?"

Caesar was confused.

"There is currently no data on the activity range of the Dragon King. Based on the swimming speed of the previous generation species, the diameter of the area we have blocked is at least two hundred nautical miles. Not to mention whether it is possible to drive away fish in such a large area, even if it can be done, we will wait until we completely drive them away. Fish, maybe Dragon King Norton has hatched! Then we will just bite them one at a time, and we can only play ball."

After complaining a few words, Fingel took out a copy of "Ecological Investigation of Fishes in the Yangtze River Basin" and then added.

"The most important thing is that it is almost the spawning time of the Chinese sturgeon. This is a first-level protected animal in our country, and it is also an extremely endangered species. It is better not to sacrifice these endangered species for this unreliable plan!"

Unexpectedly, he eats junk food every day and doesn't seem to care about his body at all. He actually has the idea of ​​caring for the environment and protecting animals.

"All right."

Caesar nodded.

He could also understand the behavior of protecting endangered animals, but there were still things he couldn't understand about Fingel's words, such as——

"What do you mean by our country? Aren't you German?"

His eyes were a little confused.

"Do as the Romans do! In fact, I have always felt that this is my spiritual motherland. Only the Yangtze River and the Yellow River can nurture a handsome and upright soul like mine!"

Fingel's voice was very contagious.

"..."

Caesar was speechless.

Why do you suddenly feel that the "Two Rivers" basin review has been harmed? If the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers had reputational rights, they would definitely seek huge compensation from Fingel.

If you continue to be entangled like this, there is a high probability that Fingel will be taken to the ditch. With Fingel, he has already experienced a lot about what it means to be invincible when a person is humble, so Caesar ignored his weird answer and gave another answer. Bring up the topic.

“Since this method doesn’t work, what method should be used?”

Fingel was a little puzzled when he heard Caesar's questioning to this extent.

"Caesar, I really want to ask you something. Dragon slaying is such a big deal, why do you ask me such a waste?!"

No matter how you look at him, he is an unreliable type. Why did Caesar pursue him and even follow his advice? How virtuous and capable he is!

Although Fingel felt a sense of relief at the beginning, as time went by he felt a little guilty.

The great cause of slaying the dragon asked him a little transparent, what did Caesar think?

Could it be that he is attracted to his own body and wants to bathe himself?

"I heard that your ability to find people is first-rate, and you are a member of the student union, and you took the initiative to apply to join the Norton Project. You must have a very strong passion for slaying dragons. Aren't these reasons enough?"

Caesar replied seriously.

Although with the final efforts of the Gattuso family, he successfully gained dominance and became the captain of the B unit, he did not have many talents available.

Angers had no intention of extending the political struggle to the students, but there was no special care. Schneider, who was in charge of the executive department, refused to allow the Gattuso family the opportunity to get involved in the executive department, so Caesar's most reliable subordinates were actually members of the student union. member.

Fortunately, the student union family has a big business. Although he didn't know that he still had a department of news and a subordinate named Fingel, he immediately discovered this talent after being mentioned by a kind person.

Based on his principle of trusting people without trusting them and employing them without trusting others, Caesar directly entrusted Fingel with important tasks, which led to the previous situation.

"My ability to find people is top-notch?"

Fingel was slightly startled when he heard Caesar's words.

If it were other people, they might be surprised at this moment who discovered their own strengths, and they would proudly say that they do have all the advantages.

However, at this moment, Fingel cursed directly.

"Whoever has a grudge against me wants to harm me like this!"

He originally wanted to go on vacation, but who knew that he would be treated like a donkey by Caesar? No wonder Caesar always looked at him so strangely. It turned out that there was a villain who was snitching on him behind his back!

"Harm you?"

Seeing Fingel's angry look, Caesar was a little confused.

"Of course it's to harm me! What I'm good at is washing coal briquettes, and finding people is just a side job! And Dragon King Norton doesn't count as a person, so how can I find him!"

Fingel said something indignantly, and then asked Caesar forcefully.

"Who said such bad things about me? Doesn't his conscience hurt?"

He will never let go of that bastard who spreads rumors!

Hearing Fingel's question, Caesar recalled that the person who told him this at the time did not intend to keep it secret. There were also people around him who heard it, so it should be possible to say it.

Then Caesar answered.

"It was S-class freshman Su Mo who recommended you to me."

If it weren't for Su Mo, he wouldn't even know that he still had Fingel as his subordinate.

"Su Mo? I don't seem to have offended him!"

Hearing this, Fingel was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.

"Wait! I understand! It must be Xia Mi, that guy is taking revenge on me!"

After the last news of embezzlement of the Night Watchman's wallet to pay off debts came to light, Fingel needed to get money immediately to make up for the hole, so he needed a certain amount of topic and popularity of the post.

Just at this time, my little brother captured a photo of Su Mo and Eriki going out alone.

If it were in the past, Fingel would never have dared to offend Xia Mi so openly or shine a green light on Xia Mi's head.

But this time, Fingel, who was forced to the edge of the cliff, ignored Xia Mi's aftermath and directly acted as the driving force behind the scenes to spread the rumor that Xia Mi was devastated and dumped.

If she had to offend someone to suffer such revenge, Xia Mi was undoubtedly the most suspect. It didn’t take much evidence to confirm that it was her!

With his S-level personality, there is a high probability that he will not care about him, but Xia Mi is different. This mediocre girl is very petty.

Although it was Su Mo who snitched, it was definitely Xia Mi who blew the whistle!

"This is not considered revenge. After all, your mathematical skills are indeed admirable. The plan you proposed before has also verified many possibilities, but the Dragon King has not been found yet."

Caesar said sincerely.

Although Fingel seemed like a loser, after spending most of the day together, Caesar had actually seen that this guy was actually quite reliable in his professional field, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for his opinion.

"Instead of thinking about why Xia Mi recommended you, it is better to continue thinking about the search plan for Dragon King Norton. We are very pressed for time."

"Plan? There's nothing to say."

Fingel shrugged at Caesar's urging.

"Look for it slowly. If the Gattuso family can mobilize an entire fleet that is exactly the same as the current one, or get a formation of submarines to search, you can easily shorten the search time to less than two days. Anyway, you guys The Gattuso family is very wealthy, so even if they go bankrupt, it shouldn’t be difficult to build a fleet, right?”

Caesar was dumbfounded when he heard Fingel's request.

"It shouldn't be difficult, right? This is simply impossible! This is not the high seas, but the Yangtze River Reservoir. If we really dare to do this, the troops stationed nearby will turn us into fireworks on the spot!"

Within this range, let alone a cruiser, even an aircraft carrier is not powerful enough for missile bombing.

"Not to mention, the current Gattuso family cannot build such a fleet! The Vidal you see is the last property left by my cheap dad. It is the last one."

Caesar reluctantly spread his hands and broke Fingel's fantasy.

The Gattuso family is really in decline, not just pretending.

This Vidal was an asset of Pompeii. It was originally kept in the Yangtze River for fishing and fun. It was never used once after it was bought. Instead, many weapon adaptation systems were made to satisfy his desire for modification.

Although these systems can be used in the Norton plan, in fact, the ship does not strictly belong to the Gattuso family, but has been put up for auction as an asset mortgage.

The reason why they can still use it is because the boat has not been sold yet, and they only have the right to maintain it and the obligation to keep it temporarily.

"Then there's no other way. We can't conduct a wide-area search with just one ship, otherwise we'll just focus on the Bronze City!"

Fingel spread his hands and said.

If they couldn't actively search for the Dragon King, all they could do was wait and see.

"Okay, that's all."

Caesar nodded, then patted Fingel on the shoulder.

"If we don't find any clues tomorrow, we will go directly to the Bronze City to find out the news. You have a good rest today!"

With that said, he was ready to leave.

But before he took two steps, he was stopped by Fingel.

"Wait, wait! What did you say? Did you just say 'we'? Did you say 'we' went to Bronze City to investigate the news together?"

He asked with disbelief on his face, his eyes widening like cattle.

"Yes! I see that you have good diving scores and excellent bloodline. You are more suitable to be my partner than others!"

Caesar nodded naturally.

Both he and Fingel have learned practical lessons and people, and can achieve mutual coordination without additional training.

"Mom, I'm not going!"

Fingel was not at all affected by Caesar's high hat and immediately expressed his resistance.

"Shouldn't things like slaying dragons be left to you A-level and B-level masters? Why am I, an E-level, joining in the fun? Why don't you just let me, a loser, fend for myself?"

"But your bloodline is A-level, isn't it?"

Caesar asked rhetorically.

Fingel's student rights have only been reduced, not that his bloodline has deteriorated. Even though he is E-level, in fact, there are not many people in the entire school with better bloodlines than him.

"But I'm a loser!"

Fingel still refused to obey with a sad face.

"If I had known, I would have gone to Su Mo's place. I heard that the S-class guys have been playing all day today. It would be great to hang out with them, but here I have to face the danger of my life!"

Seeing Fingel calling himself a waste without any grudge, Caesar was at a rare loss.

The most harsh words he scolded were that he thought the other person was a loser, but Fingel actually admitted this to himself, so that he couldn't even use the provoking method.

Seeing Fingel's appearance, Caesar believed that if he asked anything - "Do you want to be a coward for a lifetime or a hero for five minutes?" - Fingel would definitely choose to be a coward without even thinking about it.

Fingel's lower limit is so low that it's like chewing gum stuck to the bottom of his feet, which can't be picked out at all.

After a few seconds of silence, Caesar asked doubtfully.

"If you don't want to carry out the mission, then why did you actively apply to join the Norton Project in the first place?"

"Because I have offended someone! I originally wanted to avoid it, but who knew that this secret plan is related to dragon slaying!"

Fingel said with a sad and angry look.

Because of the confidentiality agreement, when he knew that he was participating in the dragon-slaying plan, he could no longer withdraw.

There is no doubt that the person he offended was Xia Mi, but he didn't expect that he could not escape the other party's revenge in the end.

"..."

Caesar was speechless.

Fortunately, he had thought that although Fingel looked carefree on the outside, he was actually just like him, with a strong fighting spirit to slay dragons. Who would have thought that the reason why he participated in the Norton Project was just to avoid trouble?

Not knowing how to evaluate it, he could only change the topic.

"You just said that S-class people have been playing all day today. Didn't they carry out their mission?"

Caesar was very curious about this.

Whether he wanted it or not, Groups A and B were in a competitive relationship when it came to slaying the dragon. He originally thought that Su Mo would launch an investigation as quickly as he did, but he didn't expect that they had been having fun?

Is this because he is confident or has another plan? You can't give up looking for the Dragon King, right?

Hearing Caesar's question, Fingel nodded with envy and jealousy.

"Yes! I heard that they are still fishing during the day, grilling fish directly on the deck, and accompanied by beautiful girls. How can we be so miserable?"

"...Didn't you lie here all day?"

Caesar asked speechlessly.

You've done almost nothing this day, so what's wrong with you?

"I'm so tired!"

Fingel said confidently.

After speaking, he muttered again.

"However, it is understandable that there is no movement from Su Mo. The equipment on the Monyach is not as complete as our Vidal. They do not have infrared detectors, and the equipment is not accurate enough. If the Dragon King does not take the initiative to reveal its traces, they will not be able to find it. .”

Hearing this, Caesar turned his gaze to the empty river, which was the direction of the Monyach.

"What are you thinking about? How to defeat Su Mo and become the new dragon-slaying hero? Or are you afraid of being intercepted by them in the end?"

Fingel asked curiously.

"No!"

Caesar shook his head.

"I was just thinking, we are in the dragon-slaying team, but my equipment is much better than Su Mo's. Is this unfair to Su Mo and the others?"

Since it is a competition, what he wants is to win under fair conditions.

"...I think you're thinking a little too much."

Fingel said politely.

"I don't mean to give up my advantage, I just think this kind of treatment is a bit cheating."

Caesar shook his head.

This asymmetric advantage made him feel that even if he won, there would be no glory to speak of.

What Caesar didn't know was that at this time, Su Mo, who they thought was standing still, had actually taken a small step in the Norton plan.

For example - they were at the bottom of the river, chatting with Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire himself.
