Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 733: Chapter 336: Sudden Attack (Part 2)

“Exactly.” Lu Wenwu nodded, sincerely saying, “It’s really not a difficult thing, just need to increase the amount on the existing basis, this egg can still be saved.”

“Nonsense!” Schneider sharply retorted, “Do you think we haven’t tried such a simple method before? The result will only lead the dragon egg to rot into a pool of sludge in the venom! Or it will be directly exploded by magic power!”

“Okay, then how many experiments have you done?” Lu Wenwu calmly asked.

“At least a hundred times! Do you think you’re the only clever dragon?” Schneider, clearly impatient and irritated, responded.

“Alright, then how did you set up the control group? Is the experiment record preserved?” Lu Wenwu asked again, “And, did you control the variables and ensure the basic data of each egg was consistent before the experiment?”

“What kind of gibberish? Can you say something I can understand?”

Schneider’s expression showed a fleeting moment of bewilderment upon hearing Lu Wenwu’s words, followed by a frown.

“What are control groups and experiment records? What’s controlling variables? And what does it mean to ensure consistent basic data?”

“Let me tell you, young one, in order to save the dragon egg, we have been supplying unlimited forbidden curses and top magical materials! What are you actually trying to say?”

Lu Wenwu: “…”

He probably knew why a not-so-difficult matter had troubled these dragons for so many years.

In summary: Simple things made complicated.

There’s really no need for top-level magical materials, and forbidden curses are even more abstract.

Just hatching an egg, breeding offspring.

Why is it so flamboyant, buddy?

Lu Wenwu, somewhat speechless, said: “You should know that each giant dragon has different talents, and their strength and physique are also different, right?”

“Take you and Grandpa Felix for example, both of you are elderly Ancient Red Dragons. Do you eat the same amount?”

“Of course not, I’m much younger than Felix, how could he eat more than me!” Schneider answered without a second thought.

“There you go.” Lu Wenwu spread his hands, “Haven’t you considered all these years that dragon eggs are also different? You and Grandpa Felix eat differently, why would these dragon eggs need the exact same amount of food?”

Schneider: “???”

Honestly, Schneider’s brain froze for a full ten seconds.

Then he slowly started to realize.

Hiss…

Seems to be the case?

Differences exist between dragons, why would the conditions for hatching dragon eggs be completely the same?

Lu Wenwu continued with a sigh: “Take this egg I mentioned earlier, it is naturally stronger than other eggs, which might mean the young dragon inside has better talents, so it needs more nutrients to develop. You haven’t given it enough, it can’t get full.”

“Just like the Silver Dragon egg next to it, it was slightly weaker at birth. Over-nourishment leads to deficiency, and excess causes harm. This egg has been fed too much, you should feed it less in the future.”

“Not only these dragon eggs that have yet to develop full Spiritual Wisdom, but even newborn young dragons often have no real concept of hunger or satiety, and frequently starve or gorge themselves. These dragon eggs accept without refusal!”

“If you keep stuffing them, they won’t stop eating.”

“See, it’s already almost full to bursting but keeps eating, it’s on the verge of dying.”

Hungry!? Full!? Schneider broke out in a cold sweat.

Upon recalling those few successful cases that escaped the stuck egg situation in history, it seemed to be exactly this reason.

Because the dragon egg itself was “hungry,” the infusion of nourishing magic potions inadvertently compensated for nutritional deficits, leading to successful pregnancy.

Watching his increasingly sweaty state, Lu Wenwu didn’t even need to use the Eye of True Sight to know he was right.

If you say the dragon race is indifferent to dragon eggs… they drown them in treasures valuable enough to make Truth Powerhouses and Legendary Powerhouses fight to the death, without fearing waste.

If you say the dragon race cares for dragon eggs… It seems to be excessively attentive!

If only a bit more indifferent, conducting several control group experiments with a few dragon eggs of the same kind, some problems would likely emerge.

Unfortunately, there’s no such “if only.”

“So… Grandpa Schneider, do you think what I said makes sense? If it does, could you try the method I suggested?” Lu Wenwu inquired.

Schneider came back to his senses, firmly staring at Lu Wenwu: “Can you determine what dragon eggs need for hatching? Or can you discern the exact state of dragon eggs?”

“Yes.” Lu Wenwu nodded, “Most of the eggs here can be saved, but some are completely dead, and others are too frail to recover.”

“I admit what you said makes sense, your theory has convinced me.”

Schneider nodded in agreement but quickly changed his tune, his gaze becoming sharp.

“But how do I know that what you said is true? Convincing me alone isn’t enough; you must provide enough evidence to convince all the guards, all the elders, and the Dragon King.”

“Evidence?”

Lu Wenwu was a bit dumbfounded.

What evidence does he have?

After a few seconds of silence, he began to speak: “I have no evidence; it’s my talent ability that allows me to gather certain information about the objects I wish to understand. If you don’t believe, I can swear to the Dragon God or any other deity.”

Unexpectedly, Schneider firmly shook his head: “Sorry Xiaowu, if you can’t provide convincing evidence to prove your statements, the guards and elders will never agree to your rescue method; we’d rather do nothing.”

This left Lu Wenwu truly without a solution.

Alright then… At least he tried his best.

If they don’t accept it, there’s nothing he can do.

Lu Wenwu actually understood Schneider’s perspective.

For these dragons, these are Schrödinger’s dragon eggs.

Doing nothing leaves them in a potential state, either possible or impossible.

If they wait, a miracle might happen like in history, leaving a glimmer of hope.

Using his method to rescue, if something goes wrong, it would truly mean losing a young dragon.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

Just as the atmosphere in the room grew more solemn, suddenly, the entire ground of the Ancestral Dragon Nest abruptly trembled without any apparent reason.

What followed was an earth-shaking sound.

“Boom!”

Even though the hatchery was located in the deepest part of the Ancestral Dragon Nest, protected by an enormous amount of magic arrays, Lu Wenwu felt a noticeable tremor beneath his feet.

He sensed something was wrong, his Divine Sense rapidly expanded, spreading outwards.

When his Divine Sense broke through to the outside of the Ancestral Dragon Nest, Lu Wenwu’s face showed an expression of astonishment.

A gigantic fissure almost stretching across the entire heavens and earth cut diagonally through the night sky.

The fissure was at least several thousand meters wide, emitting a strong holy aura, the golden Holy Light was blinding, almost turning the dark night into daylight.

This scene, it was as if the sky was torn apart, countless dragons awakening from their warm nests, roaring as they flew into the sky, stunned by the sight before them.

Looking at a formation and battle banner matching exactly those in the Dragon Bone Celestial Tower, gazing upon priests and knights with faces full of devotion and fervor, Lu Wenwu was utterly taken aback.

What the… The Holy Light Court has attacked?
