LBRDI Chapter 23

Violent but Cute

Bonus ko-fi chapter

The three cubs fit together surprisingly well, with Lu Yuan delivering a passionate speech about his ambition to conquer the stars and sea, then went off with his two buddies to toss the Conqueror that had already been repaired once by He Xing.

Shen Mian watched as the three little dragon cubs rush out one after the other and fell into a subtle confusion – so was the non-reflective little Yan Tan afraid of strangers or not?

The question had not been figured out even when Shen Mian started today’s broadcast, so he put it aside and focused on the live broadcast first.

For breakfast, was roasted red pork with nutrient solutions. Slices of the pre-marinated red and white pork were laid out on a hot pan, the sound of the fat exploding from the heat made the audience salivate. As the blood evaporated, the edges of the slices of meat curled up, the aroma of the meat filling the entire live room.

After cutting the pieces of meat and then dividing them onto several plates, Shen Mian took out the delivery that arrived in the morning from the cabinet. Labels that would’ve revealed personal information had been torn off beforehand.

A small, palm-sized box. He had no idea what was inside.

[Lion’s Head: Now when I see a delivery I think of the robot that the dean’s friend bought hahahaha.]

[Strawberry flavoured nutrient solution: Pfft, that robot has a name already, the Conqueror. Baby Gian scourges the Conqueror every day.]

[Xue Lulu: The delivery opened in the kitchen should be ingredients. I’m sucking in my saliva, I really want to eat the red pork wu wu wu.]

The express delivery in Shen Mian’s hands can indeed be counted as ingredients, but only one dragon cub, Gian, can eat it – This is an ore bar.

Ore bars are compressed cylinders made from various types of ore powder, which can explode during transportation, so they are compressed into bars for ease of transport and to reduce the risk.

Young gem dragon’s during their growth period have a greater need for intake of ore elements than adult gem dragons, otherwise, they will not be able to synthesis fuel or replace scales. Special nutrient solutions, while containing moderate amounts of ore elements, are clearly labelled in the ingredient list as containing ore powder according to the intake standards of adult gem dragons but are not exclusive to young dragons.

Shen Mian had spotted a fancy ore bar in the virtual store when the last few of Gian’s special nutrient solutions were almost finished. 3900 star coins for 2000 grams, bought during the promotion period.

Shen Mian opened the delivery. After many compressions, the ore bars are extremely dense, with a hardness almost comparable to that of naturally occurring ores and usually need to be re-crushed by large crushers.

The one-kilogram ore bar was a cylinder that was only about ten centimetres tall. A small hammer was also included from the store and a note that said, “Although I sent a hammer, I don’t recommend you smash it yourself. The ore bar is very hard and you may hurt yourself.”

Shen Mian glanced at the note and then threw it into the bin. He picked up the small hammer that the shop owner gave and examined it: Although it was a metal hammer, the size was the size of a hammer used for carving and did not seem suitable for violently dismantling the ore bars.

Shen Mian suspected that the store had sent the wrong hammer. Was it a kids toy?

[The Passage of Time: What did I just see on the not? You could hurt yourself? (Horrified expression) The dean isn’t going to smash it himself, is he?]

[Death Rays: I could see the doubt in the dean’s eyes.]

[A little fence: Dean – very capable of hitting – Shen: This is a kids toy, right?]

[Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs: What’s that, can a dragon explain to me why the dean bought a rock? Did the dean’s little brother piss off the dean and now he is feeding him the rock to choke the little brother to death?]

[Writing a thesis!: What is the person in front thinking about, the dean would not do this kind of thing, because they’re usually killed on the spot, why bother to look for rocks?]

[Strawberry flavoured nutrient solution: I actually believe what you said is right??? After all, he is violent but cute, super alpha!]

Seeing that the barrage has begun to be covered in ‘violent but cute’, Shen Mian had to interrupt this group of cute and confused humans and dragons, “The gem dragon needs to be supplemented with ore elements. This is an ore bar for Gian, but it needs to be crushed when you buy it.” The gem dragon also doesn’t need to chew the whole ore, but swallow it whole.

However, since the appearance of blended ore powders, the gem dragons rarely consume a whole piece of ore.

Shen Mian weighed the small hammer in his hands and added a sentence before starting, “The following actions are dangerous, please do not imitate.”

He then raised his hand and slammed the hammer down on the ore bar,

The metal hammer collided with the ore and made a somewhat sharp buzzing sound. The small hammer really lived up to Shen Mian’s doubts- The ore bar was intact after the smash and the hammer had gained a crack.

Shen Mian, “…”

[Death Rays: !!! Is the dean’s hand alright?!]

[Lao Tzu is the cutest int he interstellar: %*&￥% The hammer cracked? How is the dean’s hand?]

[I want to resign: They’re fine, the hammer didn’t shake much and the dean’s hand was steady.]

Of course Shen Mian’s hand was okay. When he saw the worried barrage covering the screen densely, he spread his hand in front of the quantum computer’s camera, “I’m fine.” He was tall and lean, his fingers were long and slender, pleasing and elegant, completely unable to see the violence just unleashed that damages the hammer.

“Although it was sent, the quality is too poor.”

Shen Mian picked up the mineral bar, the small thing in his hand reflecting all kinds of light, looking fragile and innocent.

[Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs: Nice hands, but that’s the same hand that just swung and broke a metal hammer (I’m going crazy)]

[Golden Blue: … I finally understand why you guys send ‘violent but cute’, he really is violent.]

[The dean is mine: Today is another day I like the dean!]

[Death Rays: Please marry me dean, thank you! I’ll like the dean for a lifetime!]

Shen Mian cushioned the ore bar in his hand, even with a little bit of effort, it’s not of much use- The new body, even after being transformed by abilities, was unable to catch up with the strength of his original body in just a few months. He would have to wait for abilities to fully return to their original state if he wanted to crush the highly compressed ore bars with his bare hands.

Shen Mian walked out of the kitchen with the quantum computer, “I should just leave it to Gian.”

Gian was very conspicuous under the sunlight. The glowing super-large baby was standing in the open, covering his eyes and counting, “Five, four, three, two, one… I’m going to start seeking.”

“Gian.”

Shen Mian spoke.

The little gem dragon immediately ran to Shen Mian’s side.

Shen Mian patted Gian’s forehead, “Sorry I interrupted, can Gian do me a favour?”

Little Gian nodded hard.

Gian was a dragon cub who wants to prove his worth and he certainly wanted to give the dean a hand.

Shen Mian handed the ore bar over.

He had already wrapped the ore bar in clingwrap, “Can you break this for me?”

Gian took the ore bar, found a flat place to put it down and aimed for a moment with his back to it, raising his tail high!

The jagged crystal spines of the gem dragon’s tail hit the ore bar and the sound of cracking and shattering clearly reached the ears of the audience in the live room.

Live Room Barrage: 

[Death Rays: Does anyone have a problem with me saying a full-on violent but cute?]

[Golden Blue: New fans are trembling, afraid to have an opinion.]

The author has something to say:

Gi – Super cute but super capable – An.

Quick note: I’ll be changing the barrage from quotation marks to brackets because it’s less confusing lol. I’ll change it for the other ones too but it’ll take a while.
