Lin Mo felt a chill in his heart. He turned his head, and the dragon flute he took out earlier was lying quietly not far away on the television cabinet like a piece of art. If he were still in the other world, he could have forcefully ignited his battle aura and scrambled to grab the dragon flute, and then he would not have to be worried about Gold Coin. But now, he was only slightly stronger than ordinary people and could not resist Gold Coin, who had transformed into a metal beast. Its weight alone made him unable to move.

“Hehe! Dragon flute?!” Gold Coin followed Lin Mo’s gaze and saw that the dragon flute, which had restrained it for so long, was now out of Lin Mo’s reach. It sneered complacently. “Molin, do you know that I’ve waited for this moment for a long time?” Gold Coin suddenly lowered its head and looked at its body. It was no longer its original Giant Dragon body but a strange beast body that it could not even recognize. It stared angrily at Moling and roared viciously, “Look at me! What have I become because of you? Damn it, Molin, it’s all your fault. Because of you, an ant-like human, I almost lost my life. I am from the proud Dragon clan, a mighty Metal-Attribute Giant Dragon, and you’ve caused me to become like this. I’m going to kill you!”

Lin Mo seemed to accept it. He relaxed his body, no longer attempting to fight back, and smiled bitterly. “You’re right, Gold Coin. I’ve already said my life is yours, so I’ll give it back to you!”

“Molin, I’ll be free after I kill you. Hahaha! I’m so excited!” Gold Coin let out a long roar and tightened its four claws. Lin Mo could not bear but groan in pain, obviously suffering a heavy injury.

The fierce beast head looked at Lin Mo with cruelty and brutality in its eyes. The savage nature of Metal-Attribute Giant Dragons was in plain sight. Lin Mo closed his eyes silently and waited for his Giant Dragon mount to tear him into pieces. He was just like those metal-attribute Dragon Knights who had not believed that their own Giant Dragons would attack them. Although Metal-Attribute Giant Dragons were extremely powerful and one of the strongest Giant Dragon mounts, they were also like a curse of misfortune, and Lin Mo could not escape this disastrous fate that was long cast in stone.

Hoho! Gold Coin, who looked vastly different from its original Giant Dragon appearance, was not excited for too long. Its body suddenly tightened, its soul seemed to be restricted strongly, and it started to tremble uncontrollably.

“No, no, no, don’t!” Gold Coin could not control its body, shaking its head and roaring intensely. Its entire body was trembling and then shrank. It continued to break down and become smaller and smaller until it shrank into a metal egg the size of a chicken egg, just like at the beginning.

“Molin, just you wait. I’ll be back! I want more mithril~!!”

Gold Coin’s final roar was still echoing in the room, but it had already transformed into a metal egg before Lin Mo’s chest. Lin Mo widened his eyes, having an expression of obtaining a new lease on life.

Dong dong dong! Loud knocks came from Lin Mo’s room door.

“Lin Mo! Are you okay?” Chen Haiqing, who was assigned the room next door, seemed to have heard the commotion in Lin Mo’s room.

“I’m okay! It’s nothing! Watching the TV! I’ll wash up and sleep soon!” Lin Mo hurriedly replied, not daring to open the door. The entire building probably heard the commotion in the room just now.

“Oh! What show? Share it with some brothers next time. Your TV’s volume was too loud, and I thought there was a monster in your room!” Chen Haiqing’s voice came from the outside, frightening Lin Mo into breaking out in cold sweat. This boss was just too sharp. He actually guessed almost everything that had happened, and Lin Mo had nearly died.

“Okay! My remote control doesn’t seem to be working too well. I’ll adjust it right away!” Lin Mo replied loudly.

“Hey, I didn’t expect the sound system of the TVs on the base to be so good! These are indeed military goods!” Chen Haiqing muttered to himself and shook his head as he returned to his room. The commotion he had heard next door had shocked him, as though the main actor’s name was just the opposite of Lin Mo’s, and he had mistaken that Lin Mo was in danger.

Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He did not even have the energy to lay on the floor and was unable to move. He did not want the others to see his secrets, which would probably cause big trouble. It took a long time before he had the strength to struggle to get up, find gauze, and bandage himself. Thankfully, he only had skin trauma and bruises. Although his battle aura was weak, it played a role to some extent and saved him from looking too beat up.

Ah! Lin Mo suddenly straightened up from his bed while gasping for breath and looked around with his dim eyes. He realized that he had a nightmare just now. In his dream, he was struggling fiercely, and Gold Coin, who had transformed into a metal beast, was tearing him into bits and pieces, slowly devouring his flesh, blood, and bones one bite at a time. In the end, it caused massive disasters everywhere in this world, went on a killing rampage, and was finally destroyed by the high-end weapons of this world. The nuclear weapons that could destroy a city were comparable to forbidden spells, shrouding the entire sky in the color of blood and fire, and no one was able to escape.

The early morning light shone through the curtains onto the bed in the room. The roars of planes in the distance were getting nearer, which was a characteristic of the Air Force base. From morning until night, the sounds of fighters taking-off and landing enveloped the entire airport.

It was the beginning of a new day.

Lin Mo looked at the metal egg that he had thrown onto the chest of drawers in the corner and the dragon flute that lay nearby with lingering fear and his heart palpitating. He did not expect that Gold Coin would escape from the Spatial Hell forbidden spell’s spatial tearing force in this form and had mysteriously come into this world with him in the chaotic spatial flows. Its sudden awakening yesterday was due to him feeding it large amounts of metal, especially the mithril chain called titanium in this world. This fellow clamored for more mithril before turning back into the metal egg.

“Gold Coin, I will definitely make you submit to me and have you truly become my Giant Dragon mount!” Lin Mo clenched his hand tightly. He did not plan to throw this metal egg, which was extremely dangerous and hated him, away easily. With this world’s metal smelting technology, metal items were readily available everywhere here. If he were to leave it alone, this metal egg transformed from the Metal-Attribute Giant Dragon would restore to its original body and come to trouble him sooner or later. Besides, leaving this danger beside him would act as a reminder to himself.

A faint, almost unnoticeable wisp of battle aura flowed slowly through his veins. Lin Mo relaxed his breathing. Since he came to this world, he had made the right decision to join the military again. Regardless of which world he was in, the nature of the military would not change. Through disciplined military life, he would continue to sharpen himself so that he would not easily let his guard down and live a peaceful and comfortable life. From beginning to end, he regarded himself as a warrior who lived for honor and not a commoner pleased with the status quo.

Danger and opportunity coexisted. Lin Mo was not afraid of this crazy Giant Dragon. This Giant Dragon probably did not know that there was a saying in this world: “Dragons in shallow waters are sport for shrimps, and tigers on flat plains are easily harassed by dogs.” Gold Coin was probably unaware that it was not in the original world but had come to a brand new world that Lin Mo was more familiar with.

With this experience, as long as the opportunity arose, he would wake Gold Coin again and make this disobedient fellow submit. Lin Mo smiled confidently. A proud Dragon Knight did not back off and only kept moving forward.

Although he was now a full-fledged pilot, Lin Mo still trained with the cadets who had yet to obtain the qualifications. Passing through the qualifications assessment was just the beginning of preparations to have their own Chengdu J-10. Lin Mo and Chen Haiqing, and Deng Zhen, Yang Luo, and Wang Jihan, who came from other aviation schools, these five had passed the assessment to become new pilots. Compared to the cadets still at the learning stage, they had their own official military ranks and qualifications to take-off and land independently. But they still needed to continue flying the L-15 Falcon for flight training, which was more inclined toward formations and attack flights. Those who were still at the cadet stage still had to perform basic operations training.

The airport flight line was divided into two groups of people. The five new pilots each had an airplane model and were practicing flight formations and simulating flight maneuvers while listening to the instructor’s piloting experience, combining theory with practice. From time to time, the instructor would ask them questions.

The instructor guiding them was Weichi Song, a major. He was dark and thin and had two thousand hours of flight experience. He was very experienced and specifically responsible for leading the newcomers. He had also gone on multiple special missions and had actual combat experience.

In peace times, there were not many Air Force pilots with actual combat experience. Usually, only a very small number of special military operations would use jet fighters, and they were all classified missions. Once China deployed the jet fighters, it meant that it was no longer intending to reason with its opponents but directly using force to fight it out.

From the corner of Lin Mo’s eyes, he could feel that among the cadets standing not far away, Lei Dong, his roommate from the aviation school, was giving him bitter glances from time to time. This fellow had failed the assessment and was still squeezing in the dormitory with the rest.

Of course, this fellow had got himself into quite a bit of trouble and was still continuing to learn now. Regardless of whether it was the cadets or instructors, none of them could feel at ease with him! Lin Mo could not help but raise the corner of his mouth.
