Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, human needs can be roughly divided into five levels, namely physiological (food and clothing), safety (job security), social needs (friendship), respect and self-actualization.

These five needs are innate needs of human beings, and the lower-level needs are directly related to the survival of the individual.

Although the number of categories was gradually increased to eight later, the basic physiological and safety needs have never changed.

“So we have to find a way to make money!”

Although he is an ancient dragon from another world, Ritsu Narose's behavior at this time is somewhat similar to those evil dragons in fairy tales who are greedy for treasure.

But his need for gold coins was by no means due to his own morbid pursuit of wealth.

To him, so-called "wealth" is like the air that one inhales into the body when flying. It is a source of power that exists to propel oneself forward.

"If you don't have money, just go back and get some gold nuggets." Ming Bolong opened a bag of shredded squid and said incoherently while chewing.

She was somewhat uninterested in the subject.

Leaving the gold of Xuanhuilong scattered throughout the mountain unused - she couldn't understand what she thought was meaningless behavior of Ritsu Narose.

"After all, that's my wedding fund. It would be weird if Xuan Hui Long had to pay for it all!"

Indeed, if Xuan Huilong were asked for help, she would surely be happy to do so. However, Naruse Ritsu could not accept the idea of ​​relying entirely on others for success or failure.

There are always some creatures in the world that cannot give up the challenge to themselves.

Whether human or monster.

All human technological progress is inseparable from challenging the status quo. The same is true for monsters from another world.

Take the example of the Smashing Dragon, which lives in symbiosis with explosive slime mold. This creature faces challenges from the moment it is born. If it cannot withstand the slime mold's explosion, it will either be blown to death in its infancy or become prey to other creatures.

What's more, some Broken Dragons will go to the lava zone specifically to accept the life-and-death challenge of the critical slime mold, trying to transform into a more powerful critical Broken Dragon.

The stronger you are, the more confident you are, and the less likely you are to accept shortcuts to avoid difficulties.

This kind of thinking can be called "pride," "arrogance," or "reservation." The difference is that the former mostly describes losers, while the latter is a compliment to winners.

The action of gnawing on the squid was forced to stop, and Ming Bolong looked at him with a strange look as if to say "You finally got this far".

Swallowing the snack in her mouth, she asked weakly, "But even if you say you want to make money...what are you going to do?"

“How about starting a church?”

Before Narose Ritsu could speak, Tenkai Ryu, who had been sitting next to him in silence, suddenly made a suggestion.

"Based on my observations, this country's control over faith is very lax. As long as I spread the scale powder, I can easily control the people in an area, and then establish a new religion and start raising funds."

The smile on her face never changed, and her tone was so sweet.

But when the other ancient dragons present heard Tianhuilong's unbridled plan, they all fell silent.

Even the most lawless among them, Nergigante, didn't expect this guy to be so bold.

"Let me remind you that there are other unknown creatures in this world." After a moment of silence, Mingse Ritsu took the initiative to tell the other party some precautions.

For example, there are monsters in this country.

Although I don’t know how to measure the fighting power between monsters and ancient dragons, according to the records in "Yin Fu Jing·Part 1", I can know what the consequences will be if I don’t follow objective laws.

The saying goes, "When the sky is filled with murderous intent, the stars will move and their positions will change; when the earth is filled with murderous intent, dragons and snakes will emerge from the land" - although ancient dragons are also part of nature, it does not mean that they can act recklessly.

"If you act recklessly, be careful that the situation gets worse and worse. In the end, a monster like the Renlong might suddenly appear and crush you to death."

Even though he didn't have much affection for Tenkai Ryu, Naruse Ritsu still warned her. After all, he still lived here, and if she caused trouble, he would suffer as well.

"is it?"

Hearing news she hadn't understood, Tenkai Ryuu's eyes, which had been narrowed, opened slightly. Her expression brightened slightly, as if she felt her relationship with Naruse Ritsu had improved.

"Wait a minute - why is this guy still here?" Ming Bolong slammed the table and stood up, staring at an unconscious ancient dragon next to him.

"Well~ I stayed because the atmosphere was suitable~"

“How shameless!”

Although he was extremely unhappy about this guy staying here, Ming Bolong could not use force to drive him out.

This is her happy little nest. She would be very sad if something was broken here!

She no longer paid attention to the other party and chose to continue the unfinished topic.

"So what are you going to do, go back to your old ways?"

"you mean……"

"Hmm...hunter, goldsmith, or something like that?"

The professions she mentioned were all those that Ritsu Narose had worked in before.

However, it is really unrealistic for these professions to start over in this world.

First of all, "hunters" can be ruled out - except for certain areas in this world, there is no place for hunters to operate. And if you want to grab a lot of wealth, poaching is almost the only way.

Although the endangered species in this world are not Mingse Riku's business, he doesn't want to engage in such a low-efficiency, low-return and potentially risky business.

As for "gold carving", he learned this craft from the warrior of light who traveled through the world.

The little mute who was somewhat similar to Canglanxing possessed astonishing craftsmanship, and under his guidance, Mingse Ritsu also learned how to use precious metals and gemstones to make jewelry.

That's why he was able to carve and polish his own scales, and finally make them into picks of suitable sizes to give to others.

Just like him now, this craft is more of a pleasure for him to adjust his life.

If you want to make a living from this, you must meet several prerequisites.

One is the raw materials.

Although the supply source and cost of raw materials can be purchased for free through Xuanhuilong, it is not realistic to carry out mass production after the scale of personal workshops is expanded.

The second is reputation.

Nowadays, "even good wine needs no bush", if you fail to gain fame, no matter how beautiful your jewelry is, it will be difficult to be sought after, become a pop star... uh, it will be difficult to lead fashion trends.

The last and more important point is -

Naruse Ritsu isn't very confident about her own aesthetics...

After all, there are not many people in the world who like Moai statues.

Besides, carefully making jewelry takes a lot of time, and Ritsu Narose doesn't want to waste time with the girls because of this.

"You are such a troublesome guy. Do you know that the current employment rate is in jeopardy?" He usually only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, but now Melo acted like an elder and taught him a lesson.

Treating it as the distant barking of a defeated dog, Ritsu Narose pushed his sunglasses on his nose again and slowly told him his plan.

In short, it is to transplant plants from the original world and extract their ingredients to make medicine.

Medicine - countless people throughout history have made huge profits from it.

As long as there are patients in the world, the demand for medicine will continue to exist. Surely this industry will continue to thrive in the future?

"Wait... I remember you just told Qilin something like 'beware of the invasion of alien species'?" Ming Bolong gestured for him to stop, and said to Mingse Ritsu with an indescribable expression.

"This is for research, not to satisfy my own appetite, so it can't be generalized."

After hearing this far-fetched explanation, she immediately said to Qilin, "See? This is a double standard dog!"

As for the young Kirin, she is trying to adapt to Ritsu Narusha after her filter was shattered.

"It's not that easy to say, is it?" Nergigante, who was listening nearby, suddenly spoke up.

Before entering combat mode, she was not affected by hormones and was obviously much more rational.

Nodding to her, Naruse Ritsu didn't shy away from the difficulties he faced. "Difficulties do exist. Assuming we succeed in extracting and analyzing the components in the plants, large-scale cultivation or direct synthesis of medicinal ingredients are both issues that must be addressed."

"Are you actually considering this seriously?" Ming Bolong widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

I thought this was a plan he came up with on the spur of the moment, but now it seems like it was planned for a long time.

"Of course I'm seriously considering it. I've done a lot of research on tax exemption policies and support for businesses in various regions."

According to his initial idea, the initial start-up capital will be based on the savings from his own two worlds, and additional investment can be made through Xuanhuilong's channels at any time.

The technical aspects are managed by Jue Yinlong, a company specializing in this research and located in Europe, after acquiring several research institutes.

"You bribed that guy!?"

Reacquainted with Ritsu Narose's connections once again, Ryu Minami, who had been staying at home for years at the Sakuseiji family, felt as if he had been hit in the face by a high-flying flash bomb.

"'Bribed' is too harsh a word... I was simply 'bribing'."

"It sounds even worse!"

Not interested in continuing to join in the jokes with Ming Bolong, they all went their separate ways after giving a brief account of their own affairs.

Except for Tianhuilong.

The previous unpleasantness seemed to have no effect on her, and her face still had an incomprehensible expression.

Without saying a word, she disappeared after turning a corner, as if she had never appeared.

Not caring about her plan, Narose Ritsu looked through the messages on Line and walked towards the place where Wakaba Mutsu had agreed to meet him.

As soon as he got out of the station, Ritsu Narose saw a girl standing alone at the exit.

She was wearing a white casual dress, and her long light green hair, which usually hung down, was carefully styled into a single ponytail similar to a princess braid.

He raised his hand to greet her, and Ruoye Mu's expression relaxed. It was as if the aura of another world suddenly dissipated, and she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, like a child who had escaped from "Kami-sama".

"I told Su Shi," Wakaba Mu took the initiative to say when Naruse Ritsu came closer, "I was the one who asked Xiangzi to meet you."

"That's it..."

Although he had discussed this matter with Wakaba Mu before, Ritsu Narose didn't expect her to make a decision so quickly.

But it's a good thing to cut the Gordian knot quickly. At least I won't have to wait until Su Shi's mood improves before digging this matter up and making her sad.

"By the way, is it okay for you to come out this late?"

Although it is not clear whether the two celebrities are strict with their daughter, most parents in the world would not feel comfortable letting their children wander around alone for too long, right?

Besides, it's still night.

"I'm going to see a live performance, so it's okay."

Why is it okay if it's a live show? Could it be that there are people your family knows among the performers?

As if sensing Naruse Ritsu's doubts, Wakaba Mu quietly added, "Because I've been there a few times... and it's still early."

Checking the time, it was only a little after seven in the evening. It seemed that Ritsu Narushe was being overly worried.

As they approached the planetarium they had seen before, Ruoye Mu suddenly slowed down. Her gaze focused on the glowing sign not far away, the color of the light reflected in her light-gold pupils.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Naruse Ritsu repeated what he had said before.

Staring at the lights over there, Ruo Yemu fell into hesitation.

"I remember that the planetarium's explanations are different every day and every time period. Even if we've been there this time, we might see a brand new video next time we come."

After revealing this key point, Ritsu Narose saw that Wakaba Mu's eyes wavered again.

Looking at the starry sky can make one’s heart clear—the doll girl remembered what Ritsu Naruse had said to her before.

The first bubble appeared from the bottom of the water, and the words that were engraved in his heart in the past gradually floated up one by one. Ruo Yemu tried hard to salvage his true thoughts from the water.

Looking at the planetarium over there, she pursed her lips, then looked at Narose Ritsu and whispered, "I...I want to go in and take a look."

With an encouraging smile, Ritsu Narose walked with her to the entrance of the planetarium and prepared to leave.

However, when he said goodbye and prepared to leave, he suddenly heard a weak voice from behind:

"Aren't you coming?"

"……I?"

Turning around, seeing Wakaba Mu's suddenly somewhat lost expression, Mingse Ritsu could only rub his brows and swallow his intention to refuse.

He walked into the planetarium with Wakaba Mutsu, and a few minutes before the image started, he decided to notify Nagasaki Suyo.

22. Topics among men (two in one)

Making up a random excuse, Ritsu Naruse temporarily pulled himself away from Ophiuchus' story.

Walking out of the holographic cinema with its lacquer flags flickering, he stood in the empty passage and dialed Nagasaki Suyo's phone number.

As soon as the emotionless notification tone ended, the girl's voice, as cold as the frozen water of a winter lake, rang in my ears.
