Chapter 300: Chapter 219: Your Dream
Jiuyue had long anticipated the pool party, but with the arrival of an egg, it had taken on a bizarre air. Several people moved chairs to the center, surrounding the over two-ter tall giant egg. When everyone learned that the price of the egg exceeded 4.9 billion Bei, they all looked upon it with newfound respect.
Duan Mingyuan hadn’t expected He Ya to be so efficient. She had called him in the middle of the night to tell him the express delivery was en route, and this morning, the airdrop from outer space had arrived.
According to Earth Wolf Twelve’s description, the nature of the egg was quite miraculous: it had fallen from a height of ten thousand ters, smashing onto the rooftop terrace of the Gear Hotel like a teorite with not a single crack on its shell, and without causing any damage to the hotel.
The shell felt ice-cold to the touch, and from the other end, a faint tremor could be felt.
"I have a question!"
Tang Qianqian raised her hand to ask, "What is a Leviathan?"
Ultimately, she couldn’t contain her curiosity. She noticed that everyone showed a look of admiration upon hearing that this was the egg of a Leviathan, and even the Third Prince had instructed them in the group chat to stay put and not to wander off, promising to co and admire the legendary creature’s giant egg as soon as the morning eting was over.
Could it be that among those present, she was the only one ignorant of such knowledge?
"A Leviathan is currently known as the largest creature in the universe. It’s said that an adult Leviathan is much larger than our company’s Battleship Cruiser. They are the war machines of the Bug Swarm, wielding a power known as ’Spiritual Energy.’ In a state of war, Leviathans are capable of performing fold jumps, instantly covering half a Star Zone to reach the battlefield," Earth Wolf Twelve recounted the information he had seen while at Universe Company. The Leviathans and Bug Swarm were defined by the company as one of the most dangerous groups in the universe, their Star Zone marked by the company as forbidden territory.
It was a pity that there were only a few people left who had actually seen a Leviathan.
"About a century ago, the Iron Guard Consortium sent a fleet towards the Star Zone where the Bug Swarm resided. The war went on and off for nearly twenty years, with almost the entire main fleet perishing. The survivors returned disgracefully, and after that, the Star Zone beca forbidden land."
And it was that war that severely weakened the Iron Guard Consortium.
Earth Wolf Twelve opened two bottles of chilled beer, enjoying this mont of sitting in the sun with his crewmates, sharing stories that even he couldn’t be certain were true.
Even the companies and Chambers of Comrce couldn’t explore every corner of the universe.
And now, the arrival of this egg had proven the reality of that war.
He handed one of the chilled beer bottles to the giant egg, a joking gesture. However, when the beer bottle touched the eggshell, it sunk in. Startled, Earth Wolf Twelve’s hand trembled, and by the ti he regained his senses, the beer bottle had vanished without a trace, seemingly swallowed by the egg.
"Whoa, did you see that?"
He sat up straight, "This egg eats things!"
"Let
try."
Tang Qianqian’s interest was instantly piqued. She used a pair of tongs to pick up a piece of grilled pork belly and reached towards the giant egg.
Just like before, the pork belly embedded itself into the egg and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The egg was very pleased.
Although it sounded unbelievable, everyone had the sa impression—a wave of joy flowed into their minds, as if the egg was expressing its gratitude to them.
"This is Spiritual Energy!"
The Mocking Pigeon blurted out, "I’ve heard that the Bug Swarm communicates this way. Their communication efficiency is much higher than that of humans, theoretically making them the most suitable group for warfare in the entire universe."
Nurous in numbers, fearless in battle, and loyal in executing any command passed down from above.
She had seen experts analyze that, fortunately, for so unknown reason, the Bug Swarm mostly stayed within their own Star Zone and never ventured out; otherwise, it’s likely that they would have taken over a significant portion of the universe.
"If we keep feeding it, will it hatch soon?"
Among all those present, Jiuyue had the most experience with hatching eggs.
Back when she was at the Cloud Sea Academy, she had completed the hatching of the super Bai Yu chickens and watching the Bai Yu chicken population at the back mountain grow each day filled her heart with a sense of achievent.
However, she had so doubts about Earth Wolf Twelve’s description of Leviathan because the egg only seed to be a little more than two ters high, not much bigger than those laid by the super Bai Yu chickens. Could it really grow to be larger than a battleship cruiser as an adult?
Mocking Pigeon had just enlightened them with many details about flagships, and in reality, Fortress Number, which they acquired through trade with Mr. Actus, the great pirate, was only diocre among battleships, sothing the company would deploy only during actual outbreaks of interstellar wars.
First of all, it was hard for Jiuyue to imagine any creature being bigger than Fortress Number.
Those seated around the giant egg exchanged glances.
Good question, but did any of them look like they had experience hatching a Leviathan?
Seeing no one respond, Jiuyue said, "Then I will take care of the egg. After the party is over, I’ll bring it back to Fortress Number."
They should also do so territorial planning on Fortress Number since their current utilization rate of the ship was pathetically low.
To make Fortress Number a bit livelier, Jiuyue decided to designate an ecological park area. After returning to Blue Star, she would invite other Monsters to nest on their ship, and naturally, the Bai Yu chickens she hatched would also beco crew mbers.
"Since it’s rare for us all to be gathered here, let’s plan out the different areas on the ship."
