Ancient Black Dragon

As Shadow Fang's avatar went dark, Mo Fei silently closed QQ as well.

His conversation with Shadow Fang made his mood even heavier, and he even began to grow paranoid.

No way... could that unlucky guess really have come true?

Could Murphys really exist somewhere he couldn't see, silently watching him and plotting some evil scheme?

If that were true, it would be disastrous. He had no desire to wake up one day and find his body stolen.

"Murphys?" he suddenly called out into the air. As expected, nothing happened. Mo Fei sighed, feeling foolish for a moment.

Still, there was one thing he could be sure of: this wasn't an isolated case involving him alone. In other words, the game had caused this.

With that thought, Mo Fei searched up information on Firmament Group.

There was very little information about Firmament Group online, barely one or two pages. The company had been established half a year ago, and its chairman was a man named Zhao Donglai. According to the introduction, he was even a recent college graduate.

Mo Fei frowned deeply. That was too absurd. A college student?

Unfortunately, he was neither a hacker nor a detective. Investigating the secrets behind the truth was as far as he could go.

The most important question now was what he should do next. According to Shadow Fang, as long as the character died, everything would be fine.

But how could he possibly bear to let it die? This was a World Tier boss, a one-of-a-kind existence in the entire game, a top-tier account worth tens of millions.

If someone could take it over, he could sell it. Mo Fei suddenly remembered Wang Ziheng's earlier offer. One million definitely wouldn't do, but ten million... that was worth considering.

If that didn't work, then he could only wait until the contract expired and sell the account to that rich guy who had made the offer before.

But there were still several months left. Nothing better go wrong during that time.

It would be best to sell it to the company. Ten million wasn't really a huge sum for the entire livestreaming industry. The company should be able to accept it, right?

Mo Fei didn't make up his mind immediately. He still held out a little hope. What if things weren't as serious as he imagined? According to Shadow Fang, this kind of change should happen gradually. At the very least, he hadn't started getting up in the middle of the night to eat raw meat yet.

What if this change wasn't a bad thing at all, but a good one?

Maybe if it continued developing, he could even awaken some kind of superpower. That would be incredible.

No matter what, Mo Fei decided to wait and see. He would finish the boss advancement first. Even now, he still didn't know what being a World Tier boss actually felt like.

If things didn't get worse later, he would observe for a while longer and decide after seeing how things went.

If the day really came when he started going insane, it still wouldn't be too late to delete the account.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Fei left the dormitory and headed toward the company.

By then, it was already evening. As he passed the bun shop, he couldn't help glancing inside.

The young girl selling buns was sitting listlessly in a chair by the entrance, scrolling through her phone. When she saw Mo Fei, she warmly greeted him.

"Hey, good evening."

Seeing her enthusiasm, Mo Fei inexplicably felt relieved, then found it somewhat amusing. That had only been a dream, after all.

"Good evening. You're still open?"

"There's still half a steamer of buns left. The boss told me to wait until seven before leaving."

Mo Fei hadn't eaten dinner yet. "Then give me a few. I'll have them as a late-night snack."

As the girl packed the buns, she suddenly asked, "You're a streamer, right?"

"Oh? How did you know?" Mo Fei was a little surprised. He never showed his face when he streamed.

"There are lots of streamers around here, all from Starlight Company. People often come here to buy buns. Oh, right, I heard you guys fought some battle against Lan Yu, and there was some Dragon Bro who killed two heroes or something. He sounded pretty impressive."

"Haha, nothing much. Do you watch game streams too?"

"Only sometimes. I don't really like staring at a computer all day. I prefer reading books." The girl looked a little embarrassed.

"I don't like staring at a computer all day either, but work is work..."

Mo Fei took the buns, smiled, and turned to leave.

When he arrived at the company, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Earlier, his supervisor had talked to him about renewing his contract, and he had brushed it off, but he obviously couldn't keep dodging the matter forever. He didn't actually plan to renew. Being a streamer earned a lot of money, but it was truly exhausting, and he often had to stay up late.

Especially for a streamer with such high visibility, there were also plenty of trolls. Mo Fei could ignore them because of his job, but even a clay figurine had some temper. Being insulted too much was still an unpleasant thing.

Besides, he had already made plenty of money. Why keep making himself suffer like this? So Mo Fei planned to leave Starlight Company when his contract expired. He could make plenty of money just by playing games afterward, living freely and comfortably. Why let others control him?

To his relief, his supervisor wasn't there. Mo Fei went straight into his streaming room. There was still half an hour before his stream was due to begin, but Mo Fei decided not to wait. He could settle the advancement first.

He had already formed a concrete plan on the way over. Since he intended to resign, he definitely wouldn't be able to obtain the company's resources afterward. That meant there was no point in taking the High Black Dragon Lord route. No matter how many underlings he had, they would still enter dungeons wave after wave. In the end, he would still have to rely on himself.

Dragon God's Kin was decent too, but Mo Fei had never cared much for gods. Relying on anyone else was worse than relying on himself. After thinking it over, the Ancient Black Dragon path suited him best.

Once he entered the game, the black dragon sleeping in the cave slowly opened its eyes.

Mo Fei first familiarized himself with the black dragon's body and stretched his wings. The movement immediately woke Catherine, who was curled up in the corner.

She looked at him listlessly, seemingly quite annoyed that her sweet dream had been disturbed.

Mo Fei ignored her and opened the boss advancement interface on his own. Advancement selection—Ancient Black Dragon.

The instant he clicked it, Mo Fei immediately felt a terrifying power surge through his body. His bones let out intense cracking sounds, as though they were growing and evolving in an instant. His dragon scales rapidly crystallized, becoming thicker and darker, while a clear, gleaming coating formed over their surfaces, making them look as though they had been fitted with an extra layer of composite armor.

His body grew larger and larger, his muscles becoming even stronger and more powerful. The Dragonfire Heart within him burned more fiercely, and a great deal of hidden information about dragonkind appeared in his mind out of nowhere.

Awooo! Mo Fei let out a long roar, and even the cave trembled with it.
