Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

Upon entering Xinglin Residence, the first thing you see is a huge indoor garden with a large pool in the center and many beehives hanging above it.

This beautiful garden seems a bit busy.

Tourists of different ethnicities are visiting the flowerbeds.

In the beehive above, little fairies were going in and out, and in the pool, several Nagas were basking in the sun shining through the transparent roof, while a few goblins emerged from what looked like a flower garden.

"This is the Garden District, mainly inhabited by small ethnic groups."

"Don't step into the flowerbeds, don't go into the pond, and definitely don't fly into the sky. Those areas are the residents' private property. If you enter them and get attacked, we won't be responsible."

Crossing the garden, they entered the main building, where they saw rows of strange rooms with large doors leading to smaller doors.

"This is a stockade house, built for races accustomed to living in stockades. Don't be fooled by its unusual layout; it's all meticulously designed to perfectly accommodate different races, provided you don't go into the wrong house."

"This is a forest house...don't climb the wrong tree."

"...Don't go into the wrong hole."

......

The design of Xinglin Residence was quite complex. The doorman led the two of them on a quick tour for half an hour, showing them all the different room types, which broadened Li Ming's horizons.

In the end, the two rented two rooms on the 20th floor, which had a great view and nice scenery.

On the third day, Li Ming received a message from Ailiya that the goods had arrived.

Arriving at the entrance of Arya's shop, before even entering, Arya greeted him.

"Welcome, bosses. The dragon scales and blood from Dragon Island have arrived. Please come in and have a seat. I'll go get the samples."

"No, I don't want to see the samples. Take me to your warehouse where you store the goods, and I'll do a random inspection. How about that?"

Arya hesitated, "This...this isn't appropriate, boss."

"Why is it inappropriate?" Li Ming retorted. "Your brothers have been stationed in the East Market these past few days. They've bought up all the new goods that come out, leaving me with absolutely no business these past few days."

"How do I know if the samples you showed me came from Long Island or were collected from Dongshi?"

Arya turned around and saw her three younger brothers awkwardly backing away when they saw Li Ming. She immediately understood what had happened.

"Hey boss, we've become friends through a misunderstanding, haven't we? Since we're all so familiar with each other, let's go take a look. But the warehouse isn't in Dragon's Breath Town, so if you're worried about that..."

"Outside Dragonbreath Town? Wait for me a moment, I'll call a few bodyguards with me, safety first."

"Yes, that's fine. Safety first, safety first!"

After that, Lina went to call two members of the patrol team.

"The boss is so generous, he can even afford elven bodyguards!" Arya complimented.

Arya closed the shop door and led her three younger brothers ahead to clear the way.

"Big sister, why are we taking them along?" Dill asked in a low voice. "Those two elves, judging by their attire, are definitely from the royal patrol. Our shipment..."

"Shut up, just do your own thing and don't worry about anything else," Arya snapped. "We just need to deliver the goods on time. Whatever problems arise afterward is none of our business!"

......

After wandering around for a while, the group arrived at a warehouse that was neither too close nor too far from Dragon's Breath Town.

Arya walked into the warehouse, opened the crates, and a dragon's aura emanated from them.

Li Ming stepped forward, casually took out a dragon scale, and channeled energy into it. The dragon scale immediately emitted a golden light.

"Hmm~ Golden dragon scales, not bad!"

He put it down and picked up a few more dragon scales. "There are also green dragon scales and red dragon scales. Not bad, not bad, they really are from Dragon Island."

He then examined the dragon blood and confirmed that it was all material that the system could absorb.

That makes sense, as there are still quite a few Dragon hero templates in Dota that haven't been unlocked yet.

Although the five-colored dragons of Dragon Island don't match the dragons that haven't been unlocked yet, they are still dragons, so the concept is the same.

Li Ming threw the dragon scales he had prepared into the box, mixing them with the goods, and then continued to bargain: "You guys have some connections, but although these things have been preserved, many of the properties I need have been lost."

"Therefore, I cannot pay for fresh materials, and I will wait until the goods arrive before making payment."

"Boss, it's very expensive to transport materials from Dragon Island. What if you don't buy them after they arrive? I'll lose a lot of money!"

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll definitely buy them all and pay in full."

"Boss, how about we pay a deposit?"

After a brief struggle, Arya finally gave in.

After Li Ming and his group left, Dill finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Sis, are we really going to buy the goods without taking a deposit?"

"What are you going to stock? Are you stupid?" Arya angrily smacked Dill on the head, making him squat on the ground, covering his head. "You haven't even paid the deposit, what kind of goods do I need to stock?"

"These dragon materials are not rare to begin with. The reason why they are in short supply recently is for a reason. After this period, the market will return to normal."

The third brother, Kellervan, asked, puzzled, "But if we don't order any more goods, won't that human boss...?"

Arya rolled her eyes. "Now that the royal patrol has arrived, they're bound to fight those rats in the gutter. We can't stay here any longer. We'll leave immediately after this shipment is handed over."

Meanwhile, after confirming that the positioning dragon scales placed in the box were functioning normally outside the warehouse, Li Ming and Lina returned to Dragon's Breath Town with peace of mind.

On the way, Lina finally voiced the question that had been on her mind: "Li Ming, why didn't you give them a deposit to keep them on their toes?"

"It's no use."

"It didn't work?"

Li Ming chuckled: "Yeah, it's useless. If I told you that Aria and the others were leaving Dragonbreath Town today, do you think I'd still give her a deposit?"

"Of course we won't give it to them, that would be giving money away for nothing! But how can you be sure they're leaving today?"

"Because Arya is a smart person. A wise person doesn't stand under a crumbling wall!"

"Then, shall we go and catch them?"

"Arrest? Why?"

"Because they're collecting materials for the cult. I just checked, and besides the dragon materials, there were some boxes in that warehouse containing Moon Spring Crystals. They must have been collecting them for the cult."

"Forget it. If we arrest them now, where will we find the cult's trail? If we deal with the cult today and they're still in Dragonbreath Town, then we can go after them."

A gentle breeze wafts through the woods, carrying the fragrant scent of flowers.

In Dragonbreath Town, the dragonborn worked exceptionally hard today. Even the dragonborn cleaning up were extra meticulous, quickly cleaning up any litter on the ground.
