Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 272 - 10: Fighting the Dragon_2
["You might not be human, but you’re definitely not a creature of our world!"]
The script is all wrong!
Tang Xian’s pupils narrowed.
The golden liquid that had been forming slowly suddenly turned into a tidal wave, surrounding him completely.
He could even feel the super high temperature of the liquid gold.
The Sea Dragon’s words carried a lot of information.
Could Orderers disguise themselves as other creatures?
In this situation, why did he feel even more like an Orderer?
If he had met the Sea Dragon first instead of the steles on the eighth level, he might have more easily accepted the claim that he was an Orderer.

Who am I, this philosophical question had suddenly become a matter of life and death.
Tang Xian said:
"You’ve been here for hundreds of years too, right?"
["So what, even though my Dragon Clan is scarce, we live for thousands of years!"]
"The steles on the island, did you write them?" Tang Xian said.
["Understand your place, you lowly Orderer lackey—you don’t deserve to ask questions."]
"So no matter what I say, you won’t believe me?" Tang Xian said with a bitter smile.
["Of course, I am a clever dragon! You, a lowly Orderer lackey, don’t even think of deceiving me!"]
Feeling the information contained in the Sea Dragon’s panel, Tang Xian was certain that there was no need to continue this conversation.

Current needs analysis:
["Kill the Orderer lackey (35%)"]
["Torture the Orderer lackey (35%)"]
["Count treasures (25%)"]
["Other (5%)"].
With a bit of organization, these data points allowed Tang Xian to easily analyze the vile nature of this Sea Dragon.
Arrogant and pompous, cruel and brutal, with an extreme craving for wealth. It loved treasures but feared the Sea God, showing it was not loyal to the Sea God.
But to it, the Sea God represented an insurmountable and supreme fear.
In short... this evil dragon was not amenable to reason.
Its values differed fundamentally from Jin Lu, Bai Mansheng, and Qing JiuYu—their moral values.
The lower the morality value, the more unreasonable the person.
This was extremely problematic.
Tang Xian considered himself a weak ordinary person; facing a cataclysmic creature, if reason was not an option, then he had no choice but to resort to a feigned masochistic plot.
Tang Xian frowned and said:
"You really are a stupid dragon."
["You dare insult me, scorn the noble Dragon Clan?"]
The Sea Dragon raised its head, its eyes looking down maliciously and contemptuously at Tang Xian.
"With so many white scales, harder to chew than a little white snake, but luckily you have those antler-like things, which are nourishing and enhancing. Do you know what ’enhancing’ means? Oh, sorry, you’re just a dragon who’s been single at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years. Pitiable."
Feeling the increasingly violent liquid gold around him and the anger swirling above him, Tang Xian said:
"Anyway, it’s a death either way, you’d better not get caught by me, or I’ll torture you bit by bit, deliberately not killing you, making you wish you were dead and begging in agony. You stupid, greedy dragon who’s only fit to be a miser for the Sea God."
The Soul Crystals in this palace could drive the Human World mad, and even if the top three families combined their resources, they could not match the number of Soul Crystals present here.
Yet, unusually, this dragon’s wealth assessment read as penniless.
Tang Xian boldly speculated that this dragon dared only to look at the Soul Crystals, not to possess them.
Powerful creatures evolve by devouring Soul Crystals, but the Sea Dragon dared not do so.
Perhaps it all stemmed from the Sea Dragon’s fear of the Sea God.
The roar of the dragon shook the heavens!
The entire palace echoed with the unwilling and angry roar of the dragon.
Watching the Sea Dragon’s expression, Tang Xian was sure he had hit a sore spot for the dragon.
The Sea God had tasked it with guarding this palace, which was also a torture for it.
A greed and lechery index of 77. This category belonged to those who would commit all types of atrocities for the sake of treasure.
Along with a morality value far below that of a normal person, Tang Xian concluded this was indeed a malevolent creature.
Yet it still didn’t dare overstep its bounds, which indirectly demonstrated the immense power of an apocalyptic creature.
["You foolish and despicable human, why provoke me! Very well, I shall make you beg for death, endure endless torture! The things you want to do to me, I will repay tenfold!"]
The gold instantly encased most of Tang Xian’s body, and the scalding liquid gold caused his skin to blister and peel.
The Sea Dragon purposely left his head unsealed to hear Tang Xian’s cries of pain.
As Tang Xian began to wail in agony, the dragon thought of an even better idea, and the sound abruptly stopped!
That was because Tang Xian’s head was instantly frozen, his pained expression captured in ice.
["Interesting, indeed you are an Orderer’s lackey; in such conditions, you can still survive."]
The Sea Dragon let out a delighted laugh; torturing its prey was always a source of great pleasure for it.
Tang Xian’s consciousness was overwhelmed by a series of blurs.
Intense pain from the burning and cold threw him into complete disarray. Experience exclusive tales on novelbuddy
And yet, he couldn’t move his body at all.
All sorts of things popped up in his mind sea.
["Successfully resisted the Town Sea Canglong’s freezing attack, Town Sea Canglong resistance +1."]
["Successfully resisted the Town Sea Canglong’s golden flame attack, Town Sea Canglong resistance +1."]
["Warning, current maximum health damage, six percent."]
