Part-time Boss
Chapter 28 - 28 28 Ancient Black Dragon

28: Chapter 28 Ancient Black Dragon 28: Chapter 28 Ancient Black Dragon Watching as Shadowfang’s profile went dark, Mo Fei also silently turned off QQ.

The communication with Shadowfang had made his mood heavier, and he even started to feel a bit paranoid.

No way, it can’t really have been an unlucky prediction come true, can it?

Morphis wouldn’t really exist in some unseen corner, silently observing him and devising some evil plot, would he?

If that were true, it would be terrible; he definitely didn’t want to wake up one day to find someone had taken over his body.

“Morphis?” he suddenly called out into the air, and as expected, nothing happened.

Mo Fei sighed, and for a moment, thought he was being silly.

But there was one thing he could be certain of: this was not an isolated case affecting only him, meaning it was caused by the game.

Mo Fei thought about it, and then searched Baidu for information on the Starshine Company.

The information about Starshine Company online was scarce, barely a page or two in content.

The company was established half a year ago, and its chairman was a person named Zhao Donglai, who, astonishingly, was a recent college graduate.

Mo Fei frowned as he read; this was too absurd.

A college student?

Unfortunately, he was neither a hacker nor a detective, so this was as far as he could go in investigating the hidden truth behind everything.

The most crucial thing now was deciding what to do next.

According to Shadowfang, as long as his character died, there wouldn’t be a problem.

But how could he possibly bear to let it die?

It was a world-class BOSS, a unique existence in the whole game, a top-tier account worth tens of millions.

If someone could take over, he could consider selling it.

Mo Fei suddenly remembered Wang Ziheng’s suggestion.

A million was definitely not enough, but ten million was worth considering.

If it really came down to it, he would just have to wait until the contract expired and then sell the account to the tycoon who had made the initial offer.

But there were still a few months left, and he hoped nothing unexpected would happen.

It would be best to sell to the company.

After all, ten million wasn’t much for the entire live-streaming industry; the company should be able to accept it, right?

Mo Fei hadn’t made up his mind immediately; he still harbored some hope.

What if things weren’t as serious as he imagined?

According to Shadowfang, the changes should be gradual and subtle—so far, he hadn’t started getting up in the middle of the night craving raw meat.

What if this change wasn’t a bad thing, but a good one?

Maybe if he continued to develop, he might even awaken some kind of superpower.

That would be incredible.

Regardless, Mo Fei decided to wait and see and finish evolving the BOSS first.

He still didn’t know what it felt like to be a World BOSS.

If the situation didn’t become serious later on, he would observe for some time and then make a decision.

If it ever came to the point where he started going crazy, he could still delete his account in time.

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

It was already evening by then.

As he passed the bun shop, he couldn’t help but glance inside.

The girl selling buns was sitting at the door on a chair, listlessly scrolling through her phone, but she greeted Mo Fei with enthusiasm when she saw him.

“Hey, good evening.”

Seeing the person’s enthusiastic demeanor, Mo Fei felt a sense of undue relief in his heart, and then he found it somewhat amusing, as it was clearly just a dream.

“Good evening, you haven’t closed up shop yet?”

“There’s still half a basket of buns left, the boss told me to wait until seven before leaving.”

Mo Fei hadn’t had dinner yet.

“Then give me a few, I’ll have them as a late-night snack.”

The girl was packing the buns and suddenly asked, “You’re a streamer, aren’t you?”

“Oh, how do you know?” Mo Fei was somewhat surprised, as he never showed his face during his streams.

“There are a lot of streamers around here, all from Starshine Company.

People often come here to buy buns.

By the way, I heard you had a fight with someone called Lan Yu, and there was someone named Dragon Bro who killed two heroes or something.

It sounded pretty awesome.”

“Haha, good to hear.

Do you also watch game broadcasts?”

“Occasionally, but I don’t really like staring at a computer all day.

I prefer reading books,” the girl said, looking a bit embarrassed.

“I don’t like staring at a computer all day either, but it’s work, you know…”

Mo Fei took the buns, smiled, and walked away.

When he arrived at the company, he felt somewhat apprehensive.

The manager had previously discussed contract renewal with him, which he’d evaded, but obviously, that wasn’t something he could keep avoiding.

In fact, he didn’t plan to renew.

Although being a streamer made good money, it was really tiring and often involved staying up late.

Especially for streamers with high viewership, there were also a lot of trolls.

Although Mo Fei could ignore them due to work, even a clay Buddha has a touch of earthiness; being trolled frequently was truly bothersome.

And since he had already made quite a bit of money, why should he continue to put himself in such an uncomfortable position?

Mo Fei planned to leave Starshine Company when his contract expired.

Afterwards, he could earn a decent amount of money just by playing games, living freely without anyone telling him what to do.

He was relieved to find that the manager wasn’t there, and he went straight to his streaming room.

There was still half an hour before the broadcast, but Mo Fei decided not to wait.

It was a good opportunity to take care of his character’s advancement.

On the way there, he had come up with a concrete plan.

Since he intended to quit, he wouldn’t be able to access the company’s resources.

Therefore, following the path of a high-tier Black Dragon Lord seemed pointless.

No matter how many minions you have in a dungeon, it’s wave after wave, and in the end, you still rely on yourself.

Being a scion of the Dragon God wasn’t too bad either, but Mo Fei never really cared for deities.

Relying on oneself was always better than relying on others.

After considering all options, the path of the Ancient Black Dragon seemed to suit him best.

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

Mo Fei first got accustomed to the black dragon’s body and stretched out his wings.

His movements immediately awoke Katherine, who was curled up in a corner.

She looked at him listlessly as if quite irritated at having her wonderful dream disturbed.

Mo Fei ignored her and went straight to opening the BOSS advancement interface, choosing to advance to – Ancient Black Dragon.

The instant he clicked, Mo Fei felt a terrifying power surging through his body.

His bones emitted loud creaking noises as if they were growing and evolving in an instant.

His dragon scales rapidly crystallized, becoming thicker and darker, with a translucent coating on the surface that made them look as though they had an additional layer of composite armor.

His size grew larger and his muscles became more robust and powerful.

The dragonfire heart within him also burned more fiercely.

In his mind, new information about the Dragon Race materialized out of nowhere.

Aoow!

Mo Fei let out a long roar that even caused the cave to tremble.
