Chương 291: The Easily Fooled Little Dragon

"You cunning fox, how dare you speak to me, the dragon, in such a commanding tone!"

Augusta raised her head, looking displeased.

However, she still flapped her wings and landed on the edge of the field.

The oak flooring ridges in the greenhouse actually conceal irrigation and winter heating pipes buried underneath, and maintenance space has been reserved, so they are not cramped at all.

With the addition of glow-in-the-dark plants providing supplementary lighting on both sides, it looks more like a corridor in a natural scenic area.

The red dragon, like a human, can stand on its hind legs and barely manage to stand on the oak ridge.

Seeing that the red dragon was relatively obedient, Roland breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Previously, Red Dragon's behavior was too much like that of a spoiled nobleman of the Empire, and Roland was worried that she wouldn't be able to reason with him.

"Mr. Tata, it's not that I'm being rude, but this greenhouse is extremely important to the group, and you shouldn't be allowed to enter."

"Why should I?!"

"Lord Augusta may go wherever she wishes; neither cricket beastmen nor mortals can stop this dragon!"

The red dragon spread its wings and stomped its feet left and right triumphantly, completely unaware of its mistake.

Roland was a little worried. Judging from the current situation, she was afraid that the red dragon might come and wreak havoc on the wheat fields again.

At that moment, she noticed the spicy snack bag on Honglong's waist. A thought flashed through her mind, and a smile appeared on her lips as she spoke insincerely.

"Oh dear, I don't mean to restrict you, it's just that the greenhouse's production capacity is crucial for feeding Longlajie."

"If you step on it, you'll probably destroy all of Sanma Che's spicy strips!"

"What?!"

Honglong immediately covered her snack bag, which contained a large quantity of new spicy snacks she had just received from the group's spicy snack factory, and she was treasuring them.

Especially since it was fresh out of the oven and hadn't been sealed, its fresh and fluffy texture made her happy for a long time yesterday.

Now, upon hearing that her trampling would lead to a reduction in spicy snack production, she truly realized that she had made a mistake.

But to avoid losing face, she still looked away and stubbornly insisted.

"You're talking nonsense. This is just ordinary wheat, used for making bread. You're just trying to scare me."

"How did I scare you? I'm just stating the facts."

Roland noticed the fat dragon's guilty conscience, and a smile appeared on her lips as she spread her hands, revealing an innocent expression.

"When you visited the factory, you must have seen the workers carrying flour, right? The main ingredient of spicy strips is flour, but we have a special puffing technology that allows us to make spicy strips."

"If you don't believe me, I can take you on a tour of the greenhouse's transport line!"

Seeing that Roland had said this much, the red dragon's face showed a conflicted expression.

After a long pause, she reluctantly turned her head away, deliberately raised her chin, and answered in a tone that seemed indifferent.

"No need for any tours or anything like that, I'm very busy."

"Hmph! I'm never coming to this shabby greenhouse again. There's nothing to see here anyway."

The red dragon's eyes shifted slightly downwards, glancing at Roland before adding an emphasis.

"Also, this isn't me admitting defeat; it's just that I, the dragon, am giving you, the big fox, face."

Hearing the red dragon's awkward tone, Roland covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that her suppressed laughter would be discovered.

Just as Koolin said, this red dragon is really easy to fool.

Dealing with them is much simpler than dealing with the imperial nobles.

And that clear, girlish voice... If you didn't see the red dragon's enormous stomach and terrible appearance, Roland would even think it was a tsundere loser.

Dragons can transform into human form, right?

Who knows, after Augusta transforms, she might turn into a red-haired, arrogant, and spoiled girl?

Oh, I might have to bring a big stomach too.

Roland grew happier the more she thought about it, and couldn't resist the urge to tease the red dragon.

"I am very grateful for Your Excellency Tata's cooperation. This wheat is not only the raw material for spicy strips, but also the staple food for the workers in the spicy strip factory. It is really precious."

She forced a compassionate expression, reached out to stroke the orange hair of her cat Coco beside her, and spoke in a plaintive tone.

"Your Excellency has no idea, but the beast girls were once just like the pictures in your book, emaciated and miserable, teetering on the brink of starvation and death."

"Many of them were disabled due to the hardships of life, but they were able to eat their fill because of the wheat grown in the greenhouse, and they passed on the craft of making spicy strips."

"Every spicy snack you're eating now represents the hard work of those poor beast girls."

"But every wheat seedling you trampled was once their daily ration. They survived until the greenhouse was built by relying on just a handful of wheat."

Roland recited the poem with great emotion, clutching her chest, and also slyly activated a certain system skill.

[Incendiary Speech]

"Are you aware of the great famine that occurred in the old port area?"

"It's about certain commercial nobles in that empire hoarding grain, causing hundreds of thousands of people to starve."

"On a cold, rainy night in the capital, several disabled catgirls set up a tattered tent. Ignoring their wet fur, they huddled together trying to resist the cold winter."

As Roland spoke, she raised her voice, which became hoarse and choked, and reached out her hand as if to grasp.

"At that time, they only had this small handful of wheat in their hands, and they had to count the grains to eat, for fear that they would not see the sun rise the next day."

"Every grain of rice on your plate is the result of hard work!"

For a moment, even Coco the cat couldn't help but bite her lower lip, looking like she understood what was happening.

As if Roland's words had transported her back to that harsh winter when she had worked odd jobs and struggled to survive, her large eyes welled up with tears.

Red Dragon was even worse; she was easily fooled.

When Roland started playing the victim, she felt goosebumps all over her skin, as if she had committed a heinous crime by rolling around in the field a few times.

Especially after learning that the spicy strips came from the beast girl workers, she couldn't bear it and lowered her dragon head.

"Stop talking, stop talking."

"At worst, I'll compensate you. Don't use that tone to play the victim."

Red Dragon's tone was tinged with grievance as he gritted his teeth and activated his spatial ring, fumbling around for a long time.

Then he took out a shiny gold coin and placed it in Roland's hand as if cutting off a piece of his own flesh.

The dragon's huge mouth was wide open, as if it were clicking its teeth, as if it were giving away not a gold coin, but its dream lover.

Roland was also a little confused, staring blankly at the gold coin that had fallen into her palm.

To be fair, if the crushed wheat were only used to make bread, the profit would definitely not be equivalent to a gold coin.

But that's not the key point.

The key point is that she actually managed to spout a few empty words and fool people.

He just pried a whole gold coin out of the red dragon's hand?!

Wow, this Red Dragon is not only easy to fool, but also so soft-hearted.

In the game, the red dragon is supposed to be evil and violent, right?
