Chapter 25
Creak!
Just as Ye Xuan took Lil Wan and ventured in the direction in which the Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus had left…
1
Outside the secret realm, Lin Shiru, who hadn’t been seen for a few days, drove to the entrance of the secret realm in the northern suburbs .
“Miss Lin . ” Seeing Lin Shiru, Nong Lejia hurriedly greeted her .
“So, has Ye Xuan not come out yet?” Lin Shiru asked faintly .
“Nope,” Nong Lejia answered . “Before he went in, I told him that he should first train his combat skills at the outer periphery, and he promised me that he would . Since that’s the case, I guess it shouldn’t be a problem if he stays inside for four or five days . ”
“Four or five days, huh?” Lin Shiru nodded .
The Amber Secret Realm only remained open for a short period of time .
A person could remain in the realm for at most one week .
Moreover, in the last two days, due to the place being fairly unstable, the monsters in the secret realm would riot on a large scale .
Hence, only a very few would be able to stay in there for a full seven days .
“By the way, Miss Lin, do you think Ye Xuan stands a chance at forming a contract with that four-star Amber Dragon in there?”
All of a sudden, as if Nong Lejia had thought of something, he said, “Before he went in, I could see that he seemed a little un-resigned . ”
“How is that even possible? He’s very talented, but he awakened too late,” Lin Shiru said decidedly .
“With his current abilities, he may not even be able to defeat a three-star Amber Dragon, let alone a four-star Amber Dragon . And if he can’t defeat it, how can he contract it?
“Besides, even if he is able to defeat it, at his current level, he probably wouldn’t be able to form a contract with it . ”
“True . ”
Nong Lejia felt that he was still so overwhelmed by Ye Xuan’s talents that he was thinking a little irrationally .

Ye Xuan’s talent was great .
But even so, it had only been a few days since he’d awakened his Beast Taming Aptitude, so how could he contract a four-star Amber Dragon all by himself?
One must know that back then, when he’d formed a contract with his Dual-Winged Amber Dragon, he’d expended a large amount of his family’s fortune to acquire the help of dozens of his classmates before finally succeeding .
…
“This guy, he can’t truly be the king of the Amber Secret Realm and the Amber Dragons, right?”
Ye Xuan and Xiao Wan cautiously followed behind the Dual-Winged Tricolor Amber Tyrannosaurus .
3
It walked around the mountains and plains as if it were patrolling its own territory .
Along the way, any birds that encountered the dragon, especially those that were at a higher elevation than him, would treat the dragon as if he were their mighty emperor .
1
They’d either fall down or ramble towards a low-lying region .
And each time this happened, an obvious, contented smile would surface in the bulky guy’s chilling eyes, which were very different from human eyes .
At the same time, as Ye Xuan followed behind it, he didn’t encounter any danger along the way .
Lil Wan levitated beside Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, I still feel that this is too dangerous . Besides, that big blockhead is very powerful . It seems kind of useless for us to keep following behind it like this . ”
Lil Wan felt invigorated .
Though she and the dragon were both at three stars, in terms of power, the gap between her and this Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus was too immense . This filled her with the desire to continue her training as soon as possible .
“Wait a while longer,” Ye Xuan said in a low guttural voice . It’s been so long . It can’t just keep on walking forever . Let’s see what exactly it’s going to do . ”
From his perspective, this Dual-Winged Amber Dragon was simply a perfect machine for close combat .
For that reason, he really wanted to take it down .
“F-I-N-E . ” Lil Wan pouted her lips .
1
Then, seeing that they weren’t in danger for the time being, she sat on Ye Xuan’s shoulder, leaned on his head, and picked up a lollipop to supplement herself with some nutrition .

…
In the depths of the Amber Secret Realm, one of the many students who’d entered the secret realm with Ye Xuan looked at the Amber Dragons in the distant valley, a hideous expression on his face . “Cao Qing, this won’t cut it,” he said . “It doesn’t match up with the information we received at all .
“According to the experiences of our elders who came here in the past, within six years, Amber Dragons will give birth to at most five or six dragons .
“But there are already almost 20 Amber Dragons in this place, not including the four-star Amber Dragon . Even if all of us attacked together, we might not be able to beat them, let alone capture that big guy!”
Standing in the middle of the team, Cao Qing frowned .
This time, the situation inside the realm was very special .
In the Dragon Valley, there were only supposed to be five or six Amber Dragons, but in actual fact, there were three times as many .
This completely disrupted their plans .
“I know . We’re gonna wait for their decision now . ” Cao Qing sighed and looked at the two groups of people tens of meters away .
Coincidently, at that moment, both Xu Jing and Qiao Kaijie turned to look at him .
In the past three days, the three of them had thought of countless ways to capture the four-star Amber Dragon .
However, for some unknown reason, the Amber Dragons in this Dragon Valley were on very high alert . And despite their valiant efforts, they couldn’t lure even a single Amber Dragon out of the valley .
1
If this continued, they would remain powerless against this group of Amber Dragons .
In order to take down that four-star Amber Dragon, the three groups needed to work together .
Cao Qing opened his mouth and asked, “Xu Jing, Qiao Kaijie, have you decided yet?”
“I’m up for joining hands . By then, capturing that four-star Amber Dragon will still depend on our own capabilities!”
Xu Jing and Qiao Kaijie looked at each other and nodded .
“Roar!”
But just when they’d decided to join forces, a thunder-like roar abruptly sounded from the depths of the valley .
“What’s going on?”
Hearing this roar, everyone looked up into the depths of the valley .
It was just that, after they looked towards the valley, they saw the Amber Dragons in the valley turn around at the same time .
And all of them raised their heads and looked at the peak of the cliff at the end of the valley where they were located .
Over there, there was another Amber Dragon .
“What’s wrong with that guy? Why did it go so high and roar so loudly? This place is that four-star Amber Dragon’s territory! Is it seeking death or what?”
The students outside the valley also discovered the big guy standing alone at the highest peak in the entire Amber Secret Realm .
They saw its enormous body, which was seemingly cast from tricolor amber .
“This is absurd!”
“What is that thing doing? Is it trying to challenge the whole group of Amber Dragons?”
At the same time, over a hundred meters away from the big guy, Ye Xuan took Lil Wan and hid behind a rock . Looking at this scene, both were equally dumbfounded .
Didn’t it know that it was just a tricolor Amber Dragon?
A Tricolor Amber Dragon challenging an entire group of Amber Dragons, which included a four-star Amber Dragon . If that wasn’t absurd, what was?
Ye Xuan’s face was full of disbelief . He felt that this tricolor Amber Dragon beast was asking for death .
Even though he’d seen along the way that almost every monster in the secret realm would submit to him when they saw him .
How could a grade gap be bridged so easily?
“Roar!”
All of a sudden, as Ye Xuan was thinking about all this, he saw the Amber Dragon, whose whole body was seemingly cast from four-color amber, abruptly raise its head, open its huge mouth, and unleash an even louder roar throughout the valley below .
In the next moment, the four-color Amber Dragon beast in the valley made a leap…
And agilely charged along the stone ridges of the cliff to the very top .

8 192Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

8 109Chromesight
After three centuries, post-industrial civilization threatens to shatter. Megacorporations accrue enormous power by linking together nations turned insular in the aftermath of yesterday's global multilateralism; a reinvigorated United Nations threatens the crumbling sovereignty of state by enforcing human rights independently of member nations, and the UN and others patrol for mass destruction technologies in the ever-accelerating, ever-democratizing arms race. Another environmental collapse looms, visions of the last haunting memories and consciences of the lower and middle classes around the globe. That is the reality that virtual child Colton is rehabilitated into. A system shock, a brave new world and above all a regurgitation. Rescued from being a tool in cyberspace and grown a new body, Colton couldn't care less about the new meatspace world. He wants to go back, back to the electronic glow that was his home. - - - - This is a MyNoWriMo entry. Lesser known than NaNoWriMo, MyNoWriMo takes place in January and is otherwise exactly the same. The goal is to finish this as quickly as possible and then possibly circle back and tidy things up. In the meantime there'll be no editing and helter-skelter story planning since I didn't do it beforehand :/
