Frankly, the half chunk of titanium-containing alloy rough ingot was quite tempting to Chen Fei.
Not sure about its tenderness but it smelled pretty good.
Chen Fei didn't have the abilities of the Metallic Giant Dragons, who could identify the composition and approximate content of metal materials just by smell.
Facing Yilan's enthusiasm, he still hesitated.
"This doesn't seem quite right!"
The female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan, however, said menacingly, "If you don't eat, it means you're not giving face, I'll kill you!"
No sooner said than done, she was ready to rampage—her straightforwardness was lethal.

A few people were forcefully heading back to the junkyard.
Leading with a puffed chest and belly was Takar, the HR manager of Aircrew Base 911, who was saying with a stern face to another person lagging half a step behind him, "Sanjani, this is the last time I'm helping you, you should be aware, Chen Fei's boss, the chief mechanic Xiao Ming, is not easy to mess with. When he gets mad, even Chekhov gets pinned to the ground and beaten up.
How many hits do you think you can take?"
The bruised Sanjani pleaded with Takar, hands clasped, "Uncle Takar, just help me this once, please, I really can't swallow this insult. Why should that kid get to make a fortune? That money should be ours."
Although Takar's fellow villagers were cheap laborers, they were not resigned to watching others eat meat while they could only miserably lick the soup. They might not have much ability, but they certainly weren't lacking in ambition.
Especially when it came to a rare opportunity for some extra cash, how could these arrogant, low-skilled individuals just stand by and watch a newcomer, who had been at the Aircrew Base for only a month, snap it up?
Exactly, snap it up!
If he didn't leave the opponent with a face full of mandrake blooms, then all his years of drinking Heng River water had been in vain.
Thinking that as a middle management staff of the aircrew base, he should not be afraid to handle a newbie who had been on the job for only a month, the fully charged HR manager Takar, accompanied by Sanjani and a few other locals had just reached the recycling station, when he saw that female Metallic Giant Dragon violently threatening the young man named Chen Fei.
"If you don't eat, it means you're not giving face, I'll kill you!"
Eat what?
The metal ingot with tooth marks was still lying there on the ground!
The next second, HR manager Takar turned his head without hesitation and walked away, farewell!
Eh?!!! Sanjani and the others, confused, quickly followed him.
"Uncle, uncle, why are you leaving?"
A big slap flew his way.
Smack!~
It hit him squarely.
"Ouch, uncle why are you hitting me?"
Sanjani covered his face, feeling utterly baffled.
"Hitting you? Hitting you is the least I could do. Are you blind or deaf?"
After hurrying out a dozen meters or so, Takar finally slowed down, turned back, and glared angrily at these good-for-nothing rascals, truly a disgrace.
"Ah?"
Sanjani still hadn't caught on, continuing to look dazed and confused.
He felt that the slap was somewhat unjust.
Takar said angrily, "So you guys really want to court death?"
Being one of the mid-level managers at Aircrew Base, he naturally had some skills, even if not capable, his perceptiveness was definitely not lacking.
Due to the short melting time and the internal convection movement of the molten metal, the quality of the Alloy Ingot was uneven, with each bite altering the composition slightly.
Metallic Dragons: Crunch, crunch...
Chen Fei: Crunch, crunch...

Unable to refuse Yilan's generous hospitality, Chen Fei had to reluctantly sit together, each holding half a Metal Ingot and munching away. .net
Neither the man nor the dragon found anything unusual.
But from a distance, the sneakily spying Sanjani looked ashen-faced.
This isn't right, not right at all.
He wanted to burst out and righteously challenge Chen, questioning why he could eat Metal Ingots—it was entirely unscientific.
Even with Pica, you can't just treat hard Alloy Ingots like chocolate!
That's brutal!
Just being able to bite into them was baffling enough.
"Sanjani, is that guy still human?"
"My god, is that a chunk of iron? He bit it right off."
"Terrifying, truly!!!"
The few who had come along turned pale, almost mistaking it for two Metallic Dragons at the recycling center.
Those teeth, that appetite, clearly not human!
"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me, I know nothing..."
The distraught Sanjani sat down with a thump, but the next second he jumped up as if his pants were on fire and started running.
All thoughts of confronting Chen Fei had vanished in a whiff.
He had no courage to also grab a piece of metal and gnaw on it.
"Hey, Sanjani, what's wrong?"
"Hurry up, don't be rash!"
The few underlings quickly chased after him, soon disappearing without a trace.

Ding! Devoured 1 ton of metal, earned Energy Points +1, Current Energy Points: 12/5000
Ding! New mission acquired!
1. Kill a good person within seventy-two hours to earn Energy Points +100 (Failure to complete on time, death!)
Bang!~
The small chunk of Alloy Ingot that Chen Fei had been holding fell to the ground, creating a small crater.
Damn... this system is toxic!!!
