“They bullied you, roar~!” The fat dragon’s muffled voice came from his shoulders.
Feng Lianzhu was truly at his wit’s end to have resorted to such a measure.
Initially, he hadn’t anticipated the need for a parent to accompany their child to a physical location for the exam, which led him to create two accounts, serving as his own uncle. If only he had thought to have Dog 16 hide his tail and pose as his brother, he wouldn’t be in this predicament.
He needed someone who looked very similar to himself to accompany him to the exam. Neither the atavists nor the interstellar pirates qualified, leaving only the Fat Dragon, who had once adopted Feng Lianzhu’s appearance in the game. Perhaps the system could offer some solution.
The bold idea struck Feng Lianzhu when he saw the Fat Dragon return to the primitive star wearing the golden scale armor.
As Pang Kirates played with the spaceship like a ball, Feng Lianzhu, hidden within the golden scale armor, inquired with the system whether the Fat Dragon had brought back Feng Lianzhu’s skin. The answer was affirmative.
However, using Feng Lianzhu’s skin in the game cost 100 points per day. At that time, Feng Lianzhu thought the expenditure was too high. Now, considering their combined debt to the system, he found it surprisingly affordableโjust 100 points!
This must be what feeling indifferent about a large debt feels like, Feng Lianzhu mused, experiencing a new human emotion.
Pang Kirates, who was playing with his tail, perked up at Feng Lianzhu’s request, his blue eyes reflecting the brilliance of the gold coins.
“The situation is like this: you can use my skin in the game. Once we arrive at the examination site, Brother Pang, you don’t need to speak. Just wait outside the exam venue for me. I’m somewhat familiar with the Alliance’s education system. They mainly assess and inquire about the child’s parents as a reference, but it doesn’t solely determine a student’s character. I’ll be the one taking the moral education exam, and Teacher Green Dragon has already taught me all the primary and junior high moral education content. I’ve memorized how to answer, so there won’t be any issues with the exam!” Feng Lianzhu explained in detail.
The emphasis was on Pang Kirates remaining silent and not speaking while waiting for him during the exam.
The little golden dragon flapped its wings, rising to Feng Lianzhu’s height, and circled around him, seemingly lost in thought.
Feng Lianzhu continued, “After this exam, my primary school studies will be complete. The system mentioned that the reward for completing the study missions is the energy needed for Kirates to reach adulthood. Successfully graduating will allow Brother Pang to mature sooner.
“My account on the Star Network is named ‘Feng Yuansi,’ and my uncle is Feng Lianzhu, which is also me in disguise. You just need to pretend to be my uncle.”
“Uncle, roar?” the little golden dragon finally spoke.
“Yes, that’s right.” Feng Lianzhu wasn’t sure why he was interested in this title; the Fat Dragon hadn’t even reacted when he mentioned the evolution energy before.
“Uncle.” The little golden dragon lifted its chin, repeating the title.
Feng Lianzhu, puzzled, repeated, “Uncle.”
With a satisfied roar, the plump little golden dragon transformed into a figure as tall as Feng Lianzhu with a buzz cut.
Feng Lianzhu: “…You don’t need to transform now; it costs 100 points a day!”
Aside from his obsession with gold coins, the Fat Dragon’s approach to spending was indeed too lavish!
Feng Lianzhu, who had been worrying about money since arriving in the interstellar world, realized he was becoming increasingly frugal, cherishing any form of exchangeable value.
However, since the transformation had already occurred, Feng Lianzhu felt it was best to act swiftly. He asked Pang Kirates to wait and logged into the Star Network device to see if he could schedule for today. The armor left by Pang Kirates’s mother allowed for incredibly fast interstellar travel, reaching the nearest network spot in just 6 hours.
Upon arriving at the school’s exam registration, Feng Lianzhu immediately sought out Ms. Jenny, who was in charge of him, and inquired if the exam could be arranged immediately since his uncle was now available within the next two days.
“I’m currently at the exam site,” said Ms. Jenny, “but today is not possible. We can only schedule for 24 hours later.”
So, it would cost an additional 100 points. Feng Lianzhu was troubled but had no choice. He arranged with Ms. Jenny to take the exam in 24 hours and then logged off the Star Network.
After removing the Star Network device, the buzz-cut figure who had been sitting on the pile of gold coins watching him was gone.
Had he turned back into the little golden dragon? Feng Lianzhu searched through the gold coins. The dragon’s color matched the gold coins exactly, making it almost impossible to find the Fat Dragon if he was sleeping within.
“Brother Pang?” Feng Lianzhu searched but didn’t find the drowsy little golden dragon and called out in the cave.
Still, there was no response.
“System, is Pang Kirates in the lair?” Feng Lianzhu inquired.
**[No, Pang Kirates has left the lair and is currently heading towards the atavist base at a speed of 5000km/h, having arrived a second ago.]**
Feng Lianzhu: “!!!”
What was the Fat Dragon doing at the base!
“Did he go as a golden dragon, or in my skin?” Feng Lianzhu asked, holding onto his last hope.
**[In Feng Lianzhu’s skin.]**
Feng Lianzhu: “…”
He quickly boarded his armor and sped towards the base at the maximum speed of 2000km/h. Although he would arrive in 15 minutes, who knew what the Fat Dragon could get up to in that time!
While piloting his armor, Feng Lianzhu requested the system to replay what the Fat Dragon had done during the time he was logged into the Star Network. Being in the interstellar world, Feng Lianzhu had the privilege to review these moments as both he and the Fat Dragon were present there.
Due to driving, the system didn’t project a holographic image but instead directly played the footage in Feng Lianzhu’s mind at four times the speed.
Seeing Feng Lianzhu don the Star Network device, the buzz-cut figure couldn’t help but reach out a finger to gently poke Feng Lianzhu’s face.
He watched Feng Lianzhu intently for a long while, pondering something.
After observing for a bit, he ran to a pile of miscellaneous items in the cave and pulled out a huge mirrorโmassive by human standards but probably not even big enough to reflect a single eye of Kirates.
The mirror placed in front of them showed both their reflections. Despite sharing the same face, the golden-clad Feng Lianzhu maintained his upright and noble demeanor, whereas the buzz-cut figure appeared childish and domineering. The buzz-cut figure tried mimicking Feng Lianzhu’s expressions, aiming for a composed look, but couldn’t quite match it.
Similar in appearance but not in essence, they seemed fine separately, but together, the difference was clear.
It wasn’t that Feng Lianzhu was necessarily more mature or handsome than the buzz-cut figure, but it was evident they were entirely different individuals.
After failing to match Feng Lianzhu’s presence, the buzz-cut figure put down the mirror and turned his head to look at Feng Lianzhu again.
After a long gaze, he somehow ended up wearing another Star Network device that Feng Lianzhu had previously used, placing it on his head.
The playback reached this point, and Feng Lianzhu broke out in a cold sweat. The Feng Lianzhu account on the Star Network was still outside the underground arena, equipped with a quantum bracelet capable of accessing his combat records in the arena! Although the arena had sent people to kill him on the primitive star and all were captured, preventing any information from being relayed back, those at the arena’s headquarters were still unaware of the events on the primitive star.
Feng Lianzhu dared not imagine what would happen next!
The system couldn’t see what transpired in the Star Network world. Five minutes later, the device the buzz-cut figure wore exploded, leaving him unharmed. He looked sternly at the shattered device on the ground, glanced at Feng Lianzhu, and darted out of the lair at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
With the playback over, Feng Lianzhu’s hands, gripping the armor’s controls, trembled.
He took a moment to ask, “Just one question: how much did the points for summoning Pang Kirates to the interstellar world increase by?”
**[In full-power mode, Pang Kirates consumes 500 points per minute. The points just surged by 1000.]**
Feng Lianzhu: “…”
Feng Lianzhu was driving his armor while having the system replay what the Fat Dragon had been up to during the time he was logged into the Star Network. Given the Fat Dragon’s full-power state for 2 minutes, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say he could demolish a city, let alone a planet.
The underground arena’s outpost was doomed.
With his armor only capable of reaching speeds up to 2000km/h, Feng Lianzhu worried that by the time he arrived at the base, it would be reduced to ruins. He halted his armor, relieved to see the base still intact.
The base was lined with trees for greening, and knowing he couldn’t be spotted, Feng Lianzhu used “Attach to Bamboo” to move stealthily among the trees.
Finally, in the central plaza of the base, he located the buzz-cut figure.
The figure, clad in Feng Lianzhu’s skin, was seen stepping on a lizard and holding the person in charge sent by the underground arena this time.
The lizard looked even more miserable than when it first arrived, indicating the Fat Dragon’s severe handling in just fifteen minutes.
Major General Laurie, with a swollen face resembling a pig’s, pleaded incoherently on his knees before the buzz-cut figure, begging him not to kill the person in charge, as he could still be useful in the future.
The lizard, spitting out blood, still managed to speak cheerfully, “It’s good this way; now I can hate you without restraint. It would have been great if it had been like this from the start, saving me from almost admiring you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the buzz-cut figure’s foot rose high and then forcefully stomped on the lizard’s chest. Feng Lianzhu, witnessing the strength of that stomp, felt his heart almost leap out of his chest.
He couldn’t just make an appearance like that, even if it meant revealing that there were two Feng Lianzhus, he had to keep the number of people in the know limited.
Seeing Dolphin 66 anxiously pacing, Feng Lianzhu concentrated and thought, “Dolphin 66! I’m Feng Lianzhu, quickly disperse everyone; we can’t let so many people stay here.”
Dolphin 66 had already suspected that the person before them, who had undergone a drastic change in personality and cut his long hair, was not Lord Feng Lianzhu. Dog 16, witnessing Lord Kirates’s irritable behavior and the haircut, was already showing signs of a shattered faith.
Hearing Feng Lianzhu’s voice, Dolphin 66 immediately felt reassured and hastily ordered, “No more onlookers, everyone go back to your duties!”
Following his command, the crowd dispersed, leaving only the unconscious person in charge from the underground arena, swollen-faced Laurie, the lizard, Dolphin 66, and Dog 16.
With everyone gone, Feng Lianzhu emerged from the trees. He walked over, amidst the shocked gazes, and took the buzz-cut figure’s hand, speaking as gently as possible, “That’s enough, stop fighting.”
Seemingly cautious not to hurt Feng Lianzhu, the buzz-cut figure immediately eased his grip, dropping the half-dead person in charge from the underground arena, kicking the lizard away, and then, with open arms, embraced Feng Lianzhu, nuzzling his head against Feng Lianzhu’s shoulder.
“What’s wrong?” Feng Lianzhu, seeing him act this way, couldn’t help but soften his voice and ask.
“They bullied you, roar!” came a muffled voice from the Fat Dragon resting on Feng Lianzhu’s shoulder.
Feng Lianzhu felt a sudden tenderness and an indescribable sensation in his heart.
Author’s Note:
Fat Dragon: Do you know, such a good-looking person is under my Kirates’ protection!
Feng Lianzhu: Alright, alright, let’s not be upset, okay, Uncle?
Fat Dragon (with a flushed belly): Call me Uncle again.

Fat Dragon looking at Feng Lianzhu in the mirror: We have the same face, how come he looks better than me?
