Chapter 167 - WHY LITTLE ANCESTOR TURNED BLACK (1/2)

LUO YAN stared at the big black egg in front of him.  Just what the heck happened?  He was about to poke the egg when his hand was suddenly held by a wide palm.  He inadvertently looked up and saw Shen Ji Yun as expected.

Shen Ji Yun suddenly forgot what he had to say because of the soft feel of Luo Yan's hand.  It almost seemed like he was holding cotton.  He shook his head.  He really should have his priorities straight.

”Don't touch it yet.  It might be dangerous,” he said.  ”I'll contact someone and ask them if they have any idea regarding what just happened.”

After saying that, he let go of the rabbit's hand as if burnt.  He then opened his Status Window and contacted Brother Zhao.  His game account, even this alt one, had a special privilege.  He could directly contact the programming team – particularly Brother Zhao – from inside the game.

He didn't know that they put this kind of function in his account when he started.  When he did, he was only told that his uncle was the one who ordered it.  To make sure that he could immediately contact someone from the game department if something went wrong.  Because he was too lazy to deal with it, he just let it be.  And he found out sooner or later that it was quite useful, especially when he's doing beta testing.  But if he's not doing that, he'd never used it for anything else.

Until now, that is.

He didn't like playing favorites.  Or the fact that he was given special attention just because of who his uncle was.  So he never thought of using that function unless it's something that could directly contribute to the game as a whole.  Like sending data for doing some beta testing for example.

SHEN: [Brother Zhao, I have a situation here that I'm not familiar with.  Could you clarify it, please?]

It took a couple of seconds before he received a reply.

Zhao (Head of Programming Department): [Am I imagining things?  How come young master is sending me a message?]

SHEN: [I already said why.]

Zhao (Head of Programming Department): [You're still so not cute as ever.]

SHEN: [Please, just answer my question.]

Zhao (Head of Programming Department): [Tell me exactly what happened.]

And he proceeded on telling him the situation regarding the beast egg.

SHEN: [Is there something wrong with my friend's beast egg?  Is it dangerous?]

Zhao (Head of Programming Department): [First, tell me, is this the same friend who you requested the land at the Goldcrest City for?]

Although confused why he had to ask that, Shen Ji Yun still answered honestly.

SHEN: [Yes.]

Zhao (Head of Programming Department): [Is young master actually wooing a girl?]

Shen Ji Yun's brows furrowed.  Even if they were only talking via private chat, he could still feel the teasing tone from Brother Zhao's message.  He was suddenly reminded of Bai Ze when he asked his opinion about an idea for a gift.  Why did both of them just assumed that it was for a girl?  For some reason, that simply annoyed him.

SHEN: [Just please tell me the answer.]

Luo Yan, on the other hand, was still staring intently at the egg that now turned all black.  It was so black that it looked like ink would bleed out from it.  He still couldn't think of a reason why this Little Ancestor of his just became like this.

Then he suddenly remembered where he found the egg.  In a cave full of gold coins where a black dragon was sleeping.  Could it be, this egg was really that dragon's egg?
