Chapter 1206: Distribution

It was only barter, but with Fenglong City’s support, they had still earned a great deal of rare metals, which were then exchanged—specifically for resources that the Douluo Federation and Shrek Academy were short on. That too yielded no small harvest.

And this was still under the condition that Lan Xuanyu himself hadn’t focused his attention on this area.

Beyond these two major parts, there was also the most precious part—the corpses of the dragon clan members they had hunted. These things were the real treasures!

Elder Shu said solemnly, “All the data can be handed over to the Federation. Once the Federation obtains this data, it will naturally be made public to the academy as well. As for the mineral resources, I think half for each. You also need to accumulate merit in the Federation. That way, there will be enough to account for the Federation. Especially the data. As for the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that can be eaten, it’s better to bring them back to the academy. It’s not that we’re reluctant to give them to the Federation—it’s that we’re worried someone with ill intentions will discover these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures aren’t produced within the Federation and become suspicious of their origins. Once that leaks out, it will threaten your identities. At the academy, the academy will naturally handle them cautiously. As for the dragon clan corpses, I also suggest not giving them to the Federation—give them all to our academy, to secretly manufacture Biological Warships. Again, to conceal your identities.”

“Alright, no problem for me. We’ll do as you say.” Lan Xuanyu said with a chuckle.

Elder Shu suddenly sighed.

Lan Xuanyu gave him a questioning look.

Elder Shu looked at him with somewhat complex eyes. “Xuanyu, our gains this time are simply too plentiful. But at the same time, have you noticed—because there’s a resource trove like Celestial Dragon Planet, even the academy no longer has anything presentable to reward you with. The Inner Court’s resources are certainly good, but compared to the cultivation resources you can obtain on Celestial Dragon Planet, they truly amount to nothing. You need to be mentally prepared for this.”

Lan Xuanyu blinked. “No, Elder Shu, that’s not it. First of all, everything I’ve done and everything I’ve obtained on Celestial Dragon Planet, I obtained as an infiltrator. To me, the academy is my home. So even if I can’t obtain cultivation resources suited to me from the academy, it doesn’t matter. And there’s another point—you’re wrong. The academy does still have rewards I very much like, even though those rewards are in the Tang Sect.”

Elder Shu asked doubtfully, “What reward could still interest you?”

Elder Shu also knew about the dragon marrow and dragon crystals. He didn’t think there was anything better than those.

Lan Xuanyu chuckled and lowered his voice. “The Tang Sect’s forbidden arsenal!”

Elder Shu’s expression stiffened. “Let me tell you, among the academy and Tang Sect’s assessments of you, one item is severe violent tendencies. I expect access to the forbidden arsenal will also be restricted for you. Also, what are you planning? Blow up Celestial Dragon Planet?”

Lan Xuanyu shook his head. “That, no. But having powerful weapons for self-defense is always a good thing, right? Speaking of which, I really am interested in the forbidden arsenal. I really want to know just what degree of destructive power our current highest technology can achieve. In terms of resources, the Federation definitely can’t match the Dragon Horse galaxy, but in terms of technology, the Dragon Horse galaxy is far inferior to the Federation. They’ve never truly entered the technological age. They’ve only barely managed to produce warships by piling up resources. But in fact, they have no real fleet organization. From the data we collected this time, you can see—for them to catch up to us in technology is simply a fantasy.”

“In the Dragon Horse galaxy, even some relatively weaker races are superior to Celestial Dragon Planet and Celestial Steed Planet in technology. Celestial Dragon Planet and Celestial Steed Planet, relying on powerful individual combat strength, fundamentally don’t need any warships. I think that in a one-on-one situation, a Super God-level Dragon Knight riding a Dragon Mount and attacking with full force—our Dragon King-class escort ships might not even be a match. What truly makes the other side wary is none other than the mothership’s main cannon. So if I’m requesting rewards from the Federation or the academy, I’ll definitely want technological rewards. To arm our Thirty-Three Sky Wings better and make everyone safer.”

“Mm.” Elder Shu nodded. “Technological rewards are indeed possible. Your thinking is very clear.”

“Then you see, regarding the forbidden arsenal… I’m also doing it for my own safety!” Lan Xuanyu chuckled.

“We’ll see. This isn’t something I can decide anyway. After we get back, I’ll put in a word for you with the Pavilion Master. The Pavilion Master still has a strong voice. Plus you yourself are now an eight-level Skyfighter. The things you’ve brought back this time will probably raise everyone’s military ranks. But you’re already a major general—raising you further will be a bit difficult, and raising your Skyfighter level will also be hard. I expect the Federation will be even more troubled, not knowing how best to reward you.”

Lan Xuanyu laughed. “No rush. Rewards can be accumulated. I’ll use them when I need them.”

Elder Shu gave the young man before him a deep look. He knew that from the moment Lan Xuanyu successfully infiltrated Celestial Dragon Planet, his status in the Federation had been rising in a straight line. He had truly stepped onto the stage of high-level warfare. Regarding the confrontation between the Federation and the Dragon Horse galaxy, his importance now even exceeded that of a cosmic fleet!

Flying at full speed regardless of fuel consumption, it took less than three days for the Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship to return to the vicinity of the Seventh Fleet. They dropped stealth and reported in.

Soon, Lan Xuanyu saw the face of Dragon Three Warship’s commander, Yan Xinghe, on the screen.

“You brat, you’re finally back. Return to our warship immediately. A guide ship is on its way.” Leaving behind those words, the screen closed before Lan Xuanyu could even speak. But from Yan Xinghe’s excited expression, it was clear that the Dragon Three Warship captain had very much been looking forward to his return.

Lan Xuanyu changed into his major general’s uniform and looked at his male body, feeling very much like bursting into tears of joy. Finally, he no longer had to be Princess Golden Dragon!

Led by the guide warship, the Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship silently slipped into the belly channel of the Dragon Three Warship.

When Lan Xuanyu led his companions down from the warship, Yan Xinghe was already personally waiting outside. Apart from him, there were only a few personal guards—no other officers.

“Captain, why did you come personally?” Lan Xuanyu hurried forward and gave Yan Xinghe a military salute.

Yan Xinghe returned the salute, his gaze toward Lan Xuanyu clearly somewhat strange, and he deliberately looked him up and down once. Only then did his gaze shift to the others. He said nothing, just nodded. “Let’s head back to the station first. The rest of you get some rest. You, come with me.”

As he spoke, Yan Xinghe brought Lan Xuanyu to his vehicle.

The door closed, autopilot engaged. Only Yan Xinghe and Lan Xuanyu were in the vehicle.

“Captain, why so mysterious? Did something happen in the fleet?” Lan Xuanyu asked doubtfully.

Yan Xinghe looked at him again, the strangeness in his gaze deepening. “Xuanyu, there’s no one else here. Tell your martial uncle—are you a woman disguised as a man?”

“Huh?” Lan Xuanyu stared at Yan Xinghe, dumbfounded. “What do you mean?”

Yan Xinghe said, “Not long ago, the Federation obtained a piece of video footage through a secret channel, bought from Paradise Planet at great cost. It was said to be from a competition battle on Celestial Dragon Planet. In the footage, two women faced off against one man. Based on the data you sent back, those should all be Higher Dragons from Celestial Dragon Planet.”

Hearing this, Lan Xuanyu was greatly alarmed. “The Federation got footage of the Rising Dragon Competition finals? Quick, lock down the information! It absolutely must not spread—if someone recognizes me, it’ll be a huge problem!”
