Lin Chen tossed the potato chips to Fenrir, who became happy again. He even stuck out his tongue, trying to show his concern by licking his fur like a cat.
Lin Chen pushed Fenrir away; taking a bath here was hardly an appropriate occasion.
Even if it were the King of Bronze and Fire, Lin Chen would only accept it if Xia Mi came in person.
Let's just forget about this ordinary Fenrir!
178: It's my brother-in-law! Fenrir is overjoyed! Checking in!
"You're so kind," said Fenrir. "Will you play with me?"
Lin Chen crossed his arms: "What do you usually play?"
"How about playing cards?" Fenrir's eyes lit up with anticipation. "Do you know how to play cards?"
Lin Chen shook his head: "Refuse gambling and drugs, starting with me!"
Fenrir clearly didn't understand what that meant, so he changed his approach.
Let's watch TV!
"Okay!" Lin Chen nodded, realizing that he hadn't watched TV in a long time.
Fenrir actually brought out a television, a very old color TV with a heavy box on the back, smaller than its eyes.
But Fenrir seemed quite serious; he gently placed the television on the ground and carefully plugged it in.
Lin Chen was surprised that this guy's dragon wings could perform such subtle operations, but what was even more surprising was that this godforsaken place actually had electricity.
This is Nibelungen, the signal is terrible, the screen is full of static, but you can still tell that a very old Hong Kong movie is playing.
Fenrir dangled the dragon's head on the platform, a position from which he could better see the content on the television.
Lin Chen leaned against Fenrir's 860 head; its scales were as hard as armor, yet they exuded a chill.
Even if Lin Chen reached out, he couldn't touch Fenrir's head; the behemoth was larger than Lin Chen had imagined.

As the stronger of the Kings of Earth and Mountains, Lin Chen received the most generous rewards for checking in.
The old-fashioned color TV emitted the sounds of dialogue and electrical activity, which Fenrir watched intently.
Lin Chen looked around and roughly understood Fenrir's feeling.
Despite being the Dragon King, Fenrir was like a prisoner.
His lower body was petrified and imprisoned in the rock wall. The almost indefinite imprisonment subjected him to a loneliness that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Fortunately, this guy is an idiot with a low IQ, so his pain is not so obvious.
Moreover, both the potato chips, the playing cards, and the color TV were all things that Xia Mi brought to it.
With family members visiting regularly, Fenrir's days held a glimmer of hope.
However, Fenrir is rather pitiful. According to Xia Mi, his intelligence is only that of a five-year-old human, yet he still watches restricted Hong Kong films with great interest on television.
Next to him were piles of all sorts of odds and ends: bottle caps, cardboard boxes, wrapping paper...
These human world's trash appear here, yet they are all treasures that Fenrir keeps.
Lin Chen sighed, the commotion attracting Fenrir's attention.
"What's wrong? Isn't it fun?" Fenrir asked.
Lin Chen shook his head: "I have some more fun things here, you don't want them!"
Fenrir's eyes lit up; at that moment, his gaze was clear and bright, just like that of an innocent child: "What is it?"
At that moment, Lin Chen suddenly understood that sentence again.
When dragons are born, they are like children just beginning to face this world.
Lin Chen took a few steps back, leaving enough space in front of him.
The newly opened space was revealed at this moment, with countless snacks and toys neatly arranged on the ground.
There are many kinds of snacks, and potato chips are just one representative one.
The toys were even more plentiful, including many excavators and toy cars that Fenrir had never seen before.
More importantly, Lin Chen moved out a large television and installed it directly on the wall of the platform.
Compared to Fenrir's bulky color TV, Lin Chen brought what was practically a movie theater.
Fenrir was completely stunned.
“These…aren’t they amazing!” Fenrir murmured.
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Take a look, these are all for you!"
Fenrir excitedly flapped its dragon wings, then carefully examined the things Lin Chen had brought.
Fenrir carefully put away all sorts of snacks and toys, then turned his gaze to the large television on the wall.
Lin Chen had already adjusted the TV's settings, and even equipped it with a remote control and a portable hard drive full of movies!
When the image on the large television screen appeared, Fenrir shrank back, clearly somewhat startled.
But he quickly looked over, overjoyed and simply unable to contain himself.
The TV was showing an animated cartoon of a pig that looked like a hairdryer, with bright colors reflected in Fenrir's golden pupils.
"Is it pretty?" Lin Chen asked.
"Beautiful!" Fenrir stared in a daze, answering instinctively.
Lin Chen smiled and looked around: "Enjoy your things, these are enough for you to play with for a long time. I'll come back to see you when I have time!"
Fenrir finally realized what was happening. He whistled around, his voice carrying a sharp gust of wind: "You're leaving?"
Lin Chen nodded: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. I'm not here to play with you; I'm here so you can have more fun on your own in the future!"
Fenrir couldn't understand Lin Chen's words, but he panicked a little: "Don't go, don't go, brother!"
Lin Chen gently patted Fenrir's dragon head, and Fenrir affectionately rubbed against Lin Chen's arm.
"That's a nice title, but if we're really going to talk about it, I should call you brother-in-law!" Lin Chen said with a smile. "I'm your sister's friend, and I'll bring you some fun things next time I come!"
Fenrir's enormous dragon head nodded up and down: "Okay, okay, then you'd better come over as soon as possible! Next time you come, I'll have the subway car pick you up!"
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Alright, let's agree on that then!"
Kefinr seemed to have thought of something and asked again.
"You said you're my sister's friend?"
179: The Siblings on the Throne! Xia Mi's Discovery!
“Yes,” Lin Chen said.
Fenrir cheered: "Great, my sister has a friend now."
Lin Chen looked at Fenrir: "Your sister doesn't have any friends?"
“No!” Fenrir shook his huge head. “My sister is always alone. She’s very lonely.”
Lin Chen remained silent. Fenrir was right about that.
For the Dragon King on his throne, loneliness is inevitable.
The saying "the higher you climb, the colder it gets" perfectly illustrates this point.
So Lin Chen asked, "Do you have family? Or rather, are you of the same kind?"
Fenrir blinked his basin-sized eyes: "A long time ago, I think there was one, but they were all bad people. They weren't nice to me and my sister, and they bullied me!"
Lin Chen could roughly guess what those things were.
Those who can bully the king of the earth and mountains are none other than other kings.
This is the most advanced part of the dragon race's history, but unfortunately, Fenrir's intelligence is simply not enough to explain it.
Lin Chen patted Fenrir's huge head: "With your sister taking care of you, you'll be very happy!"
Fenrir nodded: "My sister is so good to me, and you're so good to me too, brother!"
