Chapter 2: Raising a space dragon in the beginning
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Li Yang did not know what the space dragon could produce, it would not be a small thing as long as it was a dragon.
Many magical beasts looked very powerful, but their output could be the opposite. For example, the Golden Slime King, which looked awesome, but its output was only slime.
It could not be eaten as well, so it was basically useless. It could be said that other than how much it ate, you should not have any hope other than for the slime.
Thinking of this, Li Yang was suddenly attracted by the dragon's urgent cry.
At that moment, the dragon flapped its wings continuously and flapped its body as it circled around the smoked weed.
Seeing this, Li Yang immediately ran over. Did the dragon have a special interest in the smoked grass?
Li Yang grabbed a handful of smoked grass and handed it over. However, no one knew that the dragon was even more impatient when it saw the smoked grass in Li Yang's hand. It was as if Li Yang had spoiled some rare treasure.
Tears kept flowing in the dragon's big, watery eyes. It was as if it was going to fall at any moment.
Seeing this, Li Yang did not know that he had fed it wrongly. Thus, he prepared to find a large iron pot and stew the smoked grass.
However, the dragon was even more anxious. It kept jumping up and down, but the dragon could not speak.
As time passed, the smell of the smoked grass caused the dragon to lose control. Its big nose suddenly inhaled and revealed a satisfied expression.
After reading it, Li Yang instantly understood. It seemed that he had made a mistake. The dragon seemed to have a special liking for the smell of the smoked grass. Hence, Li Yang found firewood and grabbed a bunch of smoked grass to roast.
However, in an instant, the smoked grass emitted a purple smoke. The dragon immediately jumped up happily and stretched out its head to suck on it.
"Woo!"
The dragon sucked hard, and the purple smoke that was instantly emitted was completely sucked away. Li Yang cut another one as he saw that.
The dragon jumped up excitedly when it saw this. Moreover, its two small wings continuously flapped its huge body. Therefore, if this dragon could perform a talent for Li Yang, it would be able to do so.
Otherwise, the dragon would not feel at ease about the smoked grass. Seeing this, Li Yang also shook his head with a bitter smile. This smoked grass seemed to be the dragon's poison. If it did not suck, it would not eat.
After roasting it three times, the dragon was finally high. Its entire body then fell to the ground as if it was at the mercy of Li Yang.
After eating, the dragon was charmingly naïve. It laid on the grass and rolled around non-stop, revealing its white belly. It seemed like it wanted Li Yang to play with it.
However, Li Yang was not free. Today, the dragon ate 1% of the smoked grass in one meal. If it ate three meals a day, it would be finished in about a month.
Of course, three meals a day was for the children of the landlords. He could only eat one meal since he was new here. This way, he could feed it for three months. However, he still had to get some smoked grass seeds before that.
However, he did not know where to exchange for the smoked grass seeds. Moreover, it seemed that the dimensional exchange machine did not sell it.
However, when one was poor, one would think of changes. Thinking of this, Li Yang trotted to the side of the dragon. As he stroked the white belly of the dragon, he thought, what could this dragon produce?
Thinking of this, Li Yang could not help but look at the dragon. Could it be that he should treat it as his mount?
At this moment, the dragon saw that Li Yang was looking at it in the wrong way. It immediately got up and looked at the human in front of it with a pair of big, watery eyes.
It was as if it was saying, "Bah, scumbag!"
"Hehe, Dragon, let's discuss something. I would cook for you and play with you. Shouldn't you return the favor?"
The dragon looked at the human in front of it in confusion. However, the dragon could not understand what the human in front of it was trying to say.
Seeing this, Li Yang had no choice but to take out a handful of smoked grass and show it to the space dragon. Finally, after much effort, the dragon seemed to understand.
"Peng!"
With a crisp sound, the dragon spat out a colorful gem that looked like a glass bead.
Li Yang wanted to thank it, but the space dragon disappeared in a flash.
Li Yang could do nothing about it. After all, it was a space dragon that could come and go as it pleased. However, Li Yang was not discouraged. After all, he had obtained the gem, and he was sure that this smoked grass had a fatal attraction to the space dragon.
Li Yang grabbed the gem on the ground and allowed the dimensional exchange machine to authenticate it.
[Do you want to appraise it?]
"Yes!"
[Appraising. Appraising completed. Obtained: Space Gemstone!]
It was a space gemstone!
Space gemstones were the most valuable materials used to make space rings or other space storage items which depended on the size of the space ring made.
At the same time, after possessing a space ring, one could directly bypass the dimensional exchange machine to transport resources back to Blue Planet. This way, one could avoid the fees.
It was because of this that the lowest-grade space gemstones were sold for 10,000 gold coins each.
Hence, the space gemstone was very expensive. As for the use of the space ring, it was extremely huge.
First of all, there was no need to mention storage. Although it could only store inanimate items and could not store living items, it had a unique function: it could travel between two worlds.
If there were no space ring, transporting goods directly to the Blue Planet would cost 50% of the goods.
Moreover, the role of the dimensional exchange machine was to trade with all the farmers, although the transaction fee was as high as 10%.
Therefore, this resulted in the high price of the space ring. No one knew what kind of magical beast would produce the space gemstone on the market, and no one would tell you, resulting in the rarity of the space gemstone.
[Do you wish to sell the space gemstone?]
"Yes!"
[Evaluating the value.]
[Evaluation completed. Low-level space gemstone, worth 10,000 gold coins!]
[Deducting 10% of the usage fee!]
[Obtaining 9,000 gold coins!]
Gold coins were the common currency of the two-dimensional world.
Li Yang's heart ached when he looked at the 9,000 gold coins in his account. After all, this service fee was really underhanded.
He was only doing the transaction. When he returned to Blue Planet to transport the materials, the 50% service fee was really too much.
However, Li Yang was slightly stunned.
He had the space dragon, so he could continuously obtain space gemstone.
As a raw material, he could make the space ring as long as he had the technology. When that time came, he could completely avoid the service fee.
Currently, he is still focused on developing the farm.
When the resources were large enough, he could even transport between the two worlds and obtain a huge amount of wealth with the space ring.
However, the prerequisite was to ensure the development of the farm.
If he lost his identity as a farmer, the space dragon would also disappear.
Thinking of this, Li Yang had a clear direction for the future of the farm.
