Cloud Raising Dragon Cub App
Chapter 3
Ning Chu lowered his head and supported his forehead, and Bligh saw this and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No," Ning Chu tried his best to calm down and shook his head, "I'm fine."
Except for the dead five cubs, the locations of the other rare dragons and cubs are all missing.
None of them are on Dragon Island.
In addition, there are some common dragons of various varieties, most of which are juvenile dragons. Judging by their age, they should not be the first batch of dragons raised by Ning Chu.
The mall is not unlocked, and Ning Chu has no way to buy supplies and put them on the island.
The only consolation is that all dragons are in good condition with normal vital signs.
As for the three cubs...
Restlessness means that it is not in a good mood now, or it has been affected by something.
Ning Chu recalled the back when it left, not sure if it was his fault.
When we part again this time, we don't know when we will find it again.
After returning to school, he didn't know what the situation was. He had a new identity here and needed to adapt as soon as possible.
Ning Chu shifted his gaze to the last frame of the data card, which was Zai Zai's state.
No matter when, it is the most mysterious one.
Suddenly Ning Chu's expression froze, and he realized a problem.
The five magic dragons correspond to five rare dragons, so what about the cubs?
Ning Chu asked Bligh calmly: "Are there only five magic dragons in total? I heard people say...there is one black one?"
"Black dragon?" Bligh shook his head, "I don't know."
Ning Chu said disappointedly: "Okay..."
"However..." Bligh thought about it carefully, "It is rumored that there is still a Dragon King in the Dragon Clan."
"It exists like a god in the dragon clan, and the dragon was created by it. It is the most mysterious, no one has seen its appearance, or..." Bligh shrugged, "Everyone who has seen it is dead."
"..." Ning Chu, who hatched five rare dragons himself, opened his mouth, not sure whether the dragon king that Bligh mentioned was Cub Cub, or himself who had been demonized.
Unable to get any useful information, Ning Chu had no choice but to continue to comfort himself, Zai Zai is also in good condition, there is always a chance to find it.
He opened "Dragon Island" again. In the game interface, the system prompt of whether to revive the five cubs was still there. He folded it and lay quietly in the upper left corner, waiting for Ning Chu to make a decision.
Five purple gold coins were exchanged for ten game coins, and eight of them were used to unlock the data card. Adding the original two remaining, Ning Chu still had four coins in his balance.
Other functions cannot be unlocked, and five hundred coins are needed to revive the dead dragon.
In the past, Ning Chu had recharged directly with krypton gold. He didn't have a mobile phone here, so he had to find another way to get enough money.
He didn't know where to find the other dragon cubs, the only thing he could do now was to revive the five cubs.
Ning Chu checked the data card several times along the way, until San Zai's status changed to [depressed], then to [disappointed], and finally returned to [good].
Seeing the whole process, Ning Chu felt complicated and distressed.
Among the five rare dragons he raised, the eldest cub is the gentle and stable elder sister, the second cub runs around like a husky dog all day long, and the third cub is more like the boss among them.
The other dragon cubs brought food to honor the little black dragon, and they also learned from it.
It usually looks majestic in front of the little dragon cubs. Only Ning Chu, who always opens the data card, knows that its actual mood is capricious and its mind is sensitive.
Now that he's grown up, he's still the same as before.
When Ning Chu recalled the days of raising dragons, he was nostalgic and inevitably depressed.
He walked with his head down, but Bligh didn't notice it, and told him interesting stories about the mercenary regiment along the way, and Ning Chu occasionally echoed him.
They were in the outskirts of the forest, where there were many low-level wild monsters threatening to attack them. Bligh alone could solve them, and helped Ning Chu find the third Soul Returning Grass.
The dry food was lost during the battle, and the two relied on monster meat for maintenance. Seeing Ning Chu scrambling to start a fire and barbecue, Bligh put on a straight face for the first time: "You are like this, how dare you come to Midu Forest alone?"
Ning Chu was so embarrassed, he hesitated: "I...I thought..."
"Forget it, let me do it." Bligh reached out to take the branch, and quickly skewered the meat. "We have to speed up in the afternoon. The Red Flame Dragon frequently appears in the Midu Forest, so we have to go back and inform everyone."
This forest is the main area where the mercenary group captures the dragons. If someone continues to bring the team in without knowing it, they will probably end up in the same fate as his team.
—
Walking out of the forest, Bligh hailed a monster truck and took Ning Chu to the gate of Lance Academy before dark.
The college is located in the suburbs, about 10-[-] minutes' drive from Midu Forest. There are few people along the way, but there is a market-like street next to the college, which looks very lively.
Ning Chu was curious and looked there a few more times.
Bligh still had something to do, so he left after delivering Ning Chu.
There were a few students coming and going at the school gate, wearing the same style of clothes as Ning Chu's, only in different colors.
When Ning Chu stepped into the school gate, he was thinking about asking someone for directions, when a man also wearing a silver-gray school uniform walked towards him quickly, his face full of anxiety.
"Xiu Ning! You're finally back!" This man was a boy about the same age as Ning Chu, slightly shorter in stature, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and said worriedly: "Did you really go to Midu Forest? You didn't come back last night Dormitory, I just heard people say..."
"Going," Ning Chu replied honestly, not knowing the situation, "I just came back."
The little man looked around him nervously. Seeing that he was fine and not injured, but his face was slightly tired, he was relieved and nodded: "Go back first, I have left you dinner."
Ning Chu happened to have not had dinner yet, so he followed behind him: "Okay, thank you."
The little man looked back at him in surprise, Ning Chu asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." The little man shook his head, "It's just... I feel that you are a little different today than before."
"Really?" Ning Chu took the opportunity to find a reason, "Actually, I... had an accident in Mystery Forest, and I don't remember many things."
"Have you lost your memory?" The little man opened his eyes wide, "What's going on?"
Ning Chu told him about meeting Bligh's team, hiding most of the details.
He was a little embarrassed and said, "I was so excited to see the dragon, so..."
This reason was a bit clumsy, but the little man had an expression of "you are right", sighed and patted Ning Chu on the shoulder: "You say you, why do you trust those people to accept the second-level assignment."
Ning Chu claimed to have amnesia, and the little man didn't doubt it at all. On the way, he told him what happened before, to see if he could remember anything.
His name is Bowen, and he is a classmate and roommate of Ning Chu's body. The two live in the same dormitory, and they usually have a good relationship.
From the blog post, Ning Chu learned that "I" was a first-year student of the Ministry of Magic with a poor family, an introverted and timid personality, and low talent.
When mentioning Ning Chu's magical talent, Bowen said it more euphemistically, but Ning Chu could tell from the expression on his face that he should belong to the bottom category.
Therefore, he is also the favorite target of some students to bully.
When contacting Bligh's team, Ning Chu vaguely sensed that this world seems to advocate absolute strength.
Bligh is the captain and the person with the highest force value in the team. No one dares to disobey his orders, even if they are not necessarily right.
Just a few days ago, some students in the class who often teased Ning Chu said that as long as Ning Chu was willing to take on a second-level assignment and successfully completed it, they would be willing to tell him a trick to quickly practice magic.
This remark seemed to lie to him, but Ning Chu probably wanted to improve his strength so much that he nodded in agreement.
A few students "kindly" accompanied Ning Chu to pick up the assignment, then sent him straight to the entrance of Midu Forest, and then left Ning Chu to go back alone.
Bowen didn't see Ning Chu at night, and only learned the news from other students. His talent is actually not high, so even though he was anxious, he didn't have the ability to find Ning Chu.
If Ning Chu doesn't come back tonight, he will report to his mentor.
Bowen had lingering fears: "Those people are so courageous, they can do anything, aren't they afraid of killing people..."
Ning Chu's face became darker as he listened, and he comforted Bo Wen: "It's okay, I'm not injured, and the soul-returning grass has been found."
Bowen was surprised: "Really?"
Ning Chu showed him the soul-returning grass in his pocket. The three soul-returning grasses were lying on the wide leaves. After so long, the leaves were a little wilted, but it didn't affect the settlement of the assignment.
"That's great!" Bowen's eyes lit up, "The second-level assignment can make a lot of money, let's go back to eat first, and then go to Crow Market to settle the settlement."
Ning Chu asked curiously, "What is Crow Market?"
"You don't even remember this?"
Bowen told him that the crow market is next to the college and belongs to the market for the students of Lance College.
It is a place for receiving assignments, purchasing and exchanging materials, and providing a venue for students to compete and learn from each other.
Ning Chu was very interested. In his opinion, a market is a place where you can earn money.
The two returned to the dormitory, and the two meals that Bowen ordered back from the cafeteria at night were still warm.
The dormitory building of Lance College is in good condition. Students share a dormitory for two. The room is spacious and airy, and has almost all the furniture that should be there.
After eating, Ning Chu went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into a clean school uniform, and left the school gate together with Bo Wen.
Compared with when Ning Chu first came back, Yashi is brightly lit and there are more people inside, all young faces as far as the eye can see.
Bowen led Ning Chu inside and found the place where the settlement was assigned.
Ning Chu took out the commission card and the returning soul grass, and asked the people in the commission station to confirm.
After checking, the man raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Chu's face, nodded: "Okay."
He signed the delegation card and took out three gold coins from the counter to Ning Chu.
Ning Chu accepted the gold coins and charged them into the game immediately.
One gold coin can only be exchanged for one currency. After recharging, Ning Chu currently has a balance of five coins, and six coins are needed to unlock the map function.
The map can see the whole picture of Dragon Island, including where is the wasteland and where is the forest, and you can directly select the area to operate and build from it.
I can't unlock the mall for a while, but I can look at the map and chop trees.
Ning Chu turned to Bowen and asked, "Do you have any money? I want to borrow a gold coin, and I will return it to you in a few days..."
The market was too noisy, Bowen couldn't hear clearly, so he raised his ears and asked loudly: "What?"
At this time, the noisy crowd in front became more excited, and the cheers became louder and louder, as if something happened.
Bowen looked around on tiptoe, and that was the direction of the arena.
He suddenly took a deep breath, tightly grasped Ning Chu's arm, his eyes lit up: "I remembered, it's Wu Si!"
Before Ning Chu could react, Bowen dragged him into the crowd.
"He's here today!" Bowen spoke quickly, his face blushing with excitement, "Do you remember him? The first genius in the Ministry of Magic! The rankings stand in the way of Shura God! Lance Academy school grass!"
The last sentence of the blog post was the loudest, and many people nearby looked sideways. Ning Chu was still thinking about the coin he lacked, and nodded perfunctorily: "Hmm..."
The arena was built in the center of Crow Market, like a huge stadium embedded in the ground, surrounded by viewing stands that were already full of people.
The scene was so spectacular that Ning Chu even wondered if the whole school was here. He struggled to follow Bowen through the crowd.
Bowen led him to a round platform, and took out a few gold coins from his pocket: "Hurry up, buy Wusi!"
There were two transparent boxes on the round platform, and the staff of the arena were in charge of registration. The box with the name of "Wuss" was quickly filled with more than half of it, while the box on the other side was empty.
Ning Chu guessed a little bit, this should be the place to bet, to bet on who will win the battle.
He touched his pocket, a little embarrassed.
Seeing that he was not moving at all, Bo Wen urged, "Hurry up! Wu Si won't lose!"
Ning Chu said calmly, "I... lost the money."
The three gold coins that were used to settle the task were put into Ning Chu’s hands not long ago, and now he said that he lost them, and the corner of Bowen’s mouth twitched: "You..."
There were too many people tonight, and it was impossible to go back and look for it. Bowen lowered his head and took three gold coins from his hand to Ning Chu: "Lend it to you first, and return it to me after winning."
From everyone's point of view, this match is almost a sure win for one side, and everyone buys Wusi, resulting in very low odds.
But a little bit is a little bit, Ning Chu held three gold coins and put them into Wu Si's box.
There were no seats left in the viewing stand, and the two could only squeeze in the periphery, waiting for the start of the battle. Bowen explained to Ning Chu the arena and the standings in Yashi.
Discussion duels are very common among students, from the initial verbal engagements, to the establishment of Crow Market later, to provide a special place for discussion, so as to prevent students from fighting and damaging the college facilities.
After a long time, someone made a scoreboard to count the wins and losses of all the students who participated in the competition.
The more you win, the higher your points.
As soon as the scoreboard came out, it was like a roll of honor among students. More people were eager to try and challenge those who ranked high on the scoreboard to prove their strength.
There were more people watching the excitement, and everyone began to place bets on who would win.
Up to now, in addition to taking the initiative to choose people to challenge, Yashi will randomly draw two people from the leaderboard to fight against each other every day. The winner will get points and a huge reward, and points will be deducted for failure or abstention.
When Ning Chu heard that there was money to take, his eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly darkened again.
In his situation, he could only lose if he played.
Bowen was still talking to Ning Chu enthusiastically: "Wus is the undefeated god of the standings! Do you know what his contract beast is? A dragon!"
Ning Chu turned his head in surprise: "Dragon?"
"Cough," Bowen touched the tip of his nose, "Yarong."
He did not forget to emphasize: "The sub-dragon is also very powerful! No one in the academy has been able to tame a sub-dragon!"
While speaking, the two people involved in the battle entered the arena.
The cheers at the scene reached the highest level, Ning Chu covered his ears and looked down from the gap in the crowd.
The distance was too far, and he could only see two figures, one in a light blue school uniform and the other in black, standing in their respective positions.
The staff asked the two to shake hands and bow to each other before the fight officially began.
The contracted beasts of both sides were released first, and when the gray-brown dragon appeared on the field, the audience cheered again.
The man in black was the Wu Si mentioned in Bowen's mouth. When Ning Chu saw the contracted beast beside him, he was puzzled: "Huh?"
Why does he feel that this sub-dragon looks familiar...it seems to be a kind of ordinary dragon.
Ning Chu wasn't sure if he remembered it wrong, he opened "Dragon Island" and searched for the illustrations one by one.
Ning Chu was dazzled by the pictures of ordinary dragons. After turning over half of them, he saw a familiar gray-brown ordinary dragon.
Just at this time, Wu Si stepped on the dragon's back and flew into the sky, and Ning Chu took the opportunity to compare with the portrait in the illustrated book.
— exactly the same.
As the name suggests, it has short and thick hind legs, its front paws are retracted under the abdomen, and there is a hard carapace extending from the back to the tip of the tail, which is good at short-distance sprinting.
Just looking at its appearance, people who don't know it may really recognize it as a dragon.
When Ning Chu compared the illustrated books, the battle had ended quickly, and there was no doubt that Wu Si would win.
Bowen excitedly took Ning Chu to collect the money, Ning Chu looked sideways in the direction of Wu Si, and looked at him a few more times.
The black-haired boy put away the contracted beast and left indifferently, turning a blind eye to everything outside the arena.
The three gold coins bet will be returned, and there will be only two more gold coins, which is the reward for winning.
Ning Chu returned the three gold coins to Bowen, charged the remaining one into the game, and kept the other on him as a spare.
It was already very late when the two returned to the dormitory. There was a theoretical class the next morning. The blog post reminded Ning Chu to get up early tomorrow, then turn off the lights and go to sleep.
Ning Chu lay on the bed and opened "Dragon Island".
The map has been unlocked. From the overall view, the island is covered by a large area of green.
The green places are full of woods and vegetation. The darker the color, the more vegetation there is. The once-established residential area is also green.
Ning Chu tried to enter the area on the map, and found that his original character in the game was gone, but he could still use tools to chop trees, but he couldn't see the character.
According to the approximate location shown on the data card, he found the sleeping ordinary dragon cubs in several caves.
They clung to each other, lying on the ground covered with a thin layer of hay, not aware of Ning Chu's arrival at all.
Ning Chu wanted to reach out and touch them, but there were no characters and he couldn't do any interactive actions.
He left the cave and found the playground repaired before crossing in the back mountain.
The inside and surroundings of the playground have been covered by thick bushes. The brand-new dragon climbing frame in memory has lost its paint, and the mahogany carefully selected by Ning Chu is cracked and tilted, looking extremely desolate.
He sighed, cleaned up the weeds in the playground, and went to the residential area to cut trees.
After the time travel, the time in the game seemed to be synchronized with the reality. Ning Chu was busy until midnight, went hunting and caught a few rabbits, and put them at the entrance of the cave together with some soft fresh grass.
After finishing all this, Ning Chu went offline to sleep.
After he left, a shadow appeared above Long Island.
Shadows flew down through the clouds, and a dragon stopped outside the cave.
Its body is smooth and fit, most of its body is covered by purple scales, which shine softly under the moonlight, and some silvery white scales fall on its side and the end of dragon wings, the dragon horns on both sides of its forehead are short, and there is a most The long ones are between the eyebrows, and the sharp tops are upward.
The purple dragon saw the dry grass and rabbit meat at the entrance of the cave, as well as the obviously cleaned area around it, with a puzzled look in its eyes.
—
Early the next morning, Bowen opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that Ning Chu had already woken up and was sitting by the bed in a daze.
Ning Chu rummaged through Yuan's belongings just now, except for school uniforms and some books, he didn't find a penny.
Seeing Bowen wake up, Ning Chu asked him aloud: "Bowen, I want to make money, is there a faster way?"
Bowen yawned: "Appointment, arena."
In the academy, they can only rely on these two ways to make money.
Bowen sat up slowly and took his coat: "Those are not easy things... What do you want to make money for?"
Ning Chu was silent for a while, then said vaguely, "It's nothing, just asking."
The two went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then went to the teaching building together for class.
Food and lodging are included in the college, so Ning Chu doesn't have to worry about food.
When I came to the classroom, there were very few people inside, and it was not full until the class bell rang.
The teacher in charge of the lecture walked in, glanced down, and opened the textbook.
Sitting next to Ning Chu, Bowen leaned over and said in a low voice, "Many people don't like to take theoretical courses...they only need credits for practical courses."
The implication is that only useless people like them need to take theory classes.
Ning Chu found a schedule in the textbook. Today, there is only one class for the whole day, and the rest of the time is arranged by the students themselves. They can ask the tutor to answer questions or practice magic by themselves.
Ning Chu stared at the textbook and was distracted, planning to go to Yashi.
In the afternoon, Bowen took a nap in the dormitory, and Ning Chu quietly left alone, and came to the Yashi Police Office.
Ning Chu stood in front of the stage and asked, "Is there any assignment suitable for the first grade?"
The staff member was still the same person from yesterday, and he took out a booklet full of cards: "Look for it yourself."
The address that the delegation needs to go to was written on the card. Ning Chu looked through it carefully, and his eyes stayed on a card that said "Mystery Forest".
"First-level assignment: Thirty pieces of Sumu fruit. Location: Outer side of Midu Forest. Reward: One gold coin."
There are generally no monsters in the periphery, which is safer than when Ning Chu went there last time.
He pulled out the card: "This..."
The staff glanced at it: "The price has increased, thirty two gold coins."
Ning Chu's eyes lit up, and he heard him say again: "Recently, a magic dragon appeared in Midu Forest, and no one is willing to accept the order there...you can go if you are not afraid of death."
"I'll take this," Ning Chu signed the card while saying, "I'm lucky, I won't be able to touch it."
He said this with his mouth, but he thought the exact opposite in his heart.
Ning Chu had no contracted beasts, and it would take a long time to walk to Midu Forest. He struggled for a while, and finally spent a copper coin to ride the magic beast car in pain.
When there was still a short distance to the forest, the driver said nothing and stopped moving, so Ning Chu had no choice but to get out of the car and walk there alone.
Before he came, he made some preparations. He took a small knife he found from the dormitory, and hurriedly read half of the magic book, although he didn't understand anything.
The appearance of Sumu fruit is very recognizable, it is a small orange fruit, and there are many outside Midu Forest. Ning Chu just walked two steps into the forest and saw a Sumu fruit tree.
He took out the cloth bag he had prepared in advance, and looked around while picking the fruit.
The surroundings are very quiet, with the occasional chirping of birds and insects passing by, or the sound of leaves being blown by the wind.
After Ning Chu collected the fruit on the tree, he yelled into the air, "San San."
He knew it was probably not there, and he couldn't hear him.
Anyway, there was no one around, so Ning Chu simply raised the volume and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Old—three—!"
"--are you still there!"
The sparrows in the forest were scared away by Ning Chu, the breeze was still blowing, and no dragon responded to Ning Chu.
He didn't dare to go deeper for fear of disturbing the monsters in the forest, so he only shouted a few times while picking the fruit.
He felt like the owner who kept calling the dog to go home for dinner, but he didn't know whether San Zai would remember him or not.
After picking thirty Sumu fruits one after another, Ning Chu stood there holding the bag for a while.
If he didn't find it today, he will come back to see it next time. There is always a chance.
Ning Chu was about to turn back along the road when suddenly a shadow was cast under his feet.
The scorching wind blew past, and the heavy breath slowly approached behind, and at the same time, the sound of branches being crushed sounded.
Ning Chu turned around and opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
The red dragon folded its wings, its huge body squeezed into the woods, its black eyes stared at Ning Chu indifferently.
Ning Chu put down the Su Mu Guo in his arms, and tried to get closer: "Cub, it's me, I'm Dad."
His tone was sour: "Do you remember me?"
"I had an accident that day, so I didn't come back on purpose," Ning Chu said incoherently at this moment, "Did you see the playground I built at the foot of the mountain? The first time I saw you, I walked through it..."
When mentioning the playground, Sanzai flicked his tail slightly.
It lowered its head and approached Ning Chu, sniffing him.
The impact of such a giant dragon being so close at hand made Ning Chu's heart beat wildly, and he reached out to touch the tip of its nose.
However, he had just stretched out his hand over it, and before it really touched its scales, it suddenly retreated.
San Zai straightened his back and glanced into the distance.
It turned its head to look at Ning Chu again, then set off to fly away.
The hot wind made Ning Chu unable to open his eyes, he raised his hand to block it, and asked with difficulty: "Where are you going?"
When he tried to chase after him, San Zai's figure had disappeared.
Feeling lost and puzzled, Ning Chu opened the game to check San Zai's current state.
【Status: Uneasy】
In the blink of an eye, the anxiety in the status bar turned into "excited" again.
Such an emotional reaction should be because he recognized himself... But why did it leave again?
Ning Chu waited on the spot for a while, but before the third cub turned back, seeing that it was getting dark, he left the forest step by step.
—
After leaving Ningchu, San Zai flew all the way to the depths of the forest and came to a lake.
There is another person by the lake, wearing a black robe, sitting on a stone sharpening a knife, and a gray-brown dragon lies quietly at his feet.
The red dragon fell slowly, Wu Si blew on the polished silver blade, and looked up at it: "Why is it so late?"
"No," Ning Chu tried his best to calm down and shook his head, "I'm fine."
Except for the dead five cubs, the locations of the other rare dragons and cubs are all missing.
None of them are on Dragon Island.
In addition, there are some common dragons of various varieties, most of which are juvenile dragons. Judging by their age, they should not be the first batch of dragons raised by Ning Chu.
The mall is not unlocked, and Ning Chu has no way to buy supplies and put them on the island.
The only consolation is that all dragons are in good condition with normal vital signs.
As for the three cubs...
Restlessness means that it is not in a good mood now, or it has been affected by something.
Ning Chu recalled the back when it left, not sure if it was his fault.
When we part again this time, we don't know when we will find it again.
After returning to school, he didn't know what the situation was. He had a new identity here and needed to adapt as soon as possible.
Ning Chu shifted his gaze to the last frame of the data card, which was Zai Zai's state.
No matter when, it is the most mysterious one.
Suddenly Ning Chu's expression froze, and he realized a problem.
The five magic dragons correspond to five rare dragons, so what about the cubs?
Ning Chu asked Bligh calmly: "Are there only five magic dragons in total? I heard people say...there is one black one?"
"Black dragon?" Bligh shook his head, "I don't know."
Ning Chu said disappointedly: "Okay..."
"However..." Bligh thought about it carefully, "It is rumored that there is still a Dragon King in the Dragon Clan."
"It exists like a god in the dragon clan, and the dragon was created by it. It is the most mysterious, no one has seen its appearance, or..." Bligh shrugged, "Everyone who has seen it is dead."
"..." Ning Chu, who hatched five rare dragons himself, opened his mouth, not sure whether the dragon king that Bligh mentioned was Cub Cub, or himself who had been demonized.
Unable to get any useful information, Ning Chu had no choice but to continue to comfort himself, Zai Zai is also in good condition, there is always a chance to find it.
He opened "Dragon Island" again. In the game interface, the system prompt of whether to revive the five cubs was still there. He folded it and lay quietly in the upper left corner, waiting for Ning Chu to make a decision.
Five purple gold coins were exchanged for ten game coins, and eight of them were used to unlock the data card. Adding the original two remaining, Ning Chu still had four coins in his balance.
Other functions cannot be unlocked, and five hundred coins are needed to revive the dead dragon.
In the past, Ning Chu had recharged directly with krypton gold. He didn't have a mobile phone here, so he had to find another way to get enough money.
He didn't know where to find the other dragon cubs, the only thing he could do now was to revive the five cubs.
Ning Chu checked the data card several times along the way, until San Zai's status changed to [depressed], then to [disappointed], and finally returned to [good].
Seeing the whole process, Ning Chu felt complicated and distressed.
Among the five rare dragons he raised, the eldest cub is the gentle and stable elder sister, the second cub runs around like a husky dog all day long, and the third cub is more like the boss among them.
The other dragon cubs brought food to honor the little black dragon, and they also learned from it.
It usually looks majestic in front of the little dragon cubs. Only Ning Chu, who always opens the data card, knows that its actual mood is capricious and its mind is sensitive.
Now that he's grown up, he's still the same as before.
When Ning Chu recalled the days of raising dragons, he was nostalgic and inevitably depressed.
He walked with his head down, but Bligh didn't notice it, and told him interesting stories about the mercenary regiment along the way, and Ning Chu occasionally echoed him.
They were in the outskirts of the forest, where there were many low-level wild monsters threatening to attack them. Bligh alone could solve them, and helped Ning Chu find the third Soul Returning Grass.
The dry food was lost during the battle, and the two relied on monster meat for maintenance. Seeing Ning Chu scrambling to start a fire and barbecue, Bligh put on a straight face for the first time: "You are like this, how dare you come to Midu Forest alone?"
Ning Chu was so embarrassed, he hesitated: "I...I thought..."
"Forget it, let me do it." Bligh reached out to take the branch, and quickly skewered the meat. "We have to speed up in the afternoon. The Red Flame Dragon frequently appears in the Midu Forest, so we have to go back and inform everyone."
This forest is the main area where the mercenary group captures the dragons. If someone continues to bring the team in without knowing it, they will probably end up in the same fate as his team.
—
Walking out of the forest, Bligh hailed a monster truck and took Ning Chu to the gate of Lance Academy before dark.
The college is located in the suburbs, about 10-[-] minutes' drive from Midu Forest. There are few people along the way, but there is a market-like street next to the college, which looks very lively.
Ning Chu was curious and looked there a few more times.
Bligh still had something to do, so he left after delivering Ning Chu.
There were a few students coming and going at the school gate, wearing the same style of clothes as Ning Chu's, only in different colors.
When Ning Chu stepped into the school gate, he was thinking about asking someone for directions, when a man also wearing a silver-gray school uniform walked towards him quickly, his face full of anxiety.
"Xiu Ning! You're finally back!" This man was a boy about the same age as Ning Chu, slightly shorter in stature, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and said worriedly: "Did you really go to Midu Forest? You didn't come back last night Dormitory, I just heard people say..."
"Going," Ning Chu replied honestly, not knowing the situation, "I just came back."
The little man looked around him nervously. Seeing that he was fine and not injured, but his face was slightly tired, he was relieved and nodded: "Go back first, I have left you dinner."
Ning Chu happened to have not had dinner yet, so he followed behind him: "Okay, thank you."
The little man looked back at him in surprise, Ning Chu asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." The little man shook his head, "It's just... I feel that you are a little different today than before."
"Really?" Ning Chu took the opportunity to find a reason, "Actually, I... had an accident in Mystery Forest, and I don't remember many things."
"Have you lost your memory?" The little man opened his eyes wide, "What's going on?"
Ning Chu told him about meeting Bligh's team, hiding most of the details.
He was a little embarrassed and said, "I was so excited to see the dragon, so..."
This reason was a bit clumsy, but the little man had an expression of "you are right", sighed and patted Ning Chu on the shoulder: "You say you, why do you trust those people to accept the second-level assignment."
Ning Chu claimed to have amnesia, and the little man didn't doubt it at all. On the way, he told him what happened before, to see if he could remember anything.
His name is Bowen, and he is a classmate and roommate of Ning Chu's body. The two live in the same dormitory, and they usually have a good relationship.
From the blog post, Ning Chu learned that "I" was a first-year student of the Ministry of Magic with a poor family, an introverted and timid personality, and low talent.
When mentioning Ning Chu's magical talent, Bowen said it more euphemistically, but Ning Chu could tell from the expression on his face that he should belong to the bottom category.
Therefore, he is also the favorite target of some students to bully.
When contacting Bligh's team, Ning Chu vaguely sensed that this world seems to advocate absolute strength.
Bligh is the captain and the person with the highest force value in the team. No one dares to disobey his orders, even if they are not necessarily right.
Just a few days ago, some students in the class who often teased Ning Chu said that as long as Ning Chu was willing to take on a second-level assignment and successfully completed it, they would be willing to tell him a trick to quickly practice magic.
This remark seemed to lie to him, but Ning Chu probably wanted to improve his strength so much that he nodded in agreement.
A few students "kindly" accompanied Ning Chu to pick up the assignment, then sent him straight to the entrance of Midu Forest, and then left Ning Chu to go back alone.
Bowen didn't see Ning Chu at night, and only learned the news from other students. His talent is actually not high, so even though he was anxious, he didn't have the ability to find Ning Chu.
If Ning Chu doesn't come back tonight, he will report to his mentor.
Bowen had lingering fears: "Those people are so courageous, they can do anything, aren't they afraid of killing people..."
Ning Chu's face became darker as he listened, and he comforted Bo Wen: "It's okay, I'm not injured, and the soul-returning grass has been found."
Bowen was surprised: "Really?"
Ning Chu showed him the soul-returning grass in his pocket. The three soul-returning grasses were lying on the wide leaves. After so long, the leaves were a little wilted, but it didn't affect the settlement of the assignment.
"That's great!" Bowen's eyes lit up, "The second-level assignment can make a lot of money, let's go back to eat first, and then go to Crow Market to settle the settlement."
Ning Chu asked curiously, "What is Crow Market?"
"You don't even remember this?"
Bowen told him that the crow market is next to the college and belongs to the market for the students of Lance College.
It is a place for receiving assignments, purchasing and exchanging materials, and providing a venue for students to compete and learn from each other.
Ning Chu was very interested. In his opinion, a market is a place where you can earn money.
The two returned to the dormitory, and the two meals that Bowen ordered back from the cafeteria at night were still warm.
The dormitory building of Lance College is in good condition. Students share a dormitory for two. The room is spacious and airy, and has almost all the furniture that should be there.
After eating, Ning Chu went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into a clean school uniform, and left the school gate together with Bo Wen.
Compared with when Ning Chu first came back, Yashi is brightly lit and there are more people inside, all young faces as far as the eye can see.
Bowen led Ning Chu inside and found the place where the settlement was assigned.
Ning Chu took out the commission card and the returning soul grass, and asked the people in the commission station to confirm.
After checking, the man raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Chu's face, nodded: "Okay."
He signed the delegation card and took out three gold coins from the counter to Ning Chu.
Ning Chu accepted the gold coins and charged them into the game immediately.
One gold coin can only be exchanged for one currency. After recharging, Ning Chu currently has a balance of five coins, and six coins are needed to unlock the map function.
The map can see the whole picture of Dragon Island, including where is the wasteland and where is the forest, and you can directly select the area to operate and build from it.
I can't unlock the mall for a while, but I can look at the map and chop trees.
Ning Chu turned to Bowen and asked, "Do you have any money? I want to borrow a gold coin, and I will return it to you in a few days..."
The market was too noisy, Bowen couldn't hear clearly, so he raised his ears and asked loudly: "What?"
At this time, the noisy crowd in front became more excited, and the cheers became louder and louder, as if something happened.
Bowen looked around on tiptoe, and that was the direction of the arena.
He suddenly took a deep breath, tightly grasped Ning Chu's arm, his eyes lit up: "I remembered, it's Wu Si!"
Before Ning Chu could react, Bowen dragged him into the crowd.
"He's here today!" Bowen spoke quickly, his face blushing with excitement, "Do you remember him? The first genius in the Ministry of Magic! The rankings stand in the way of Shura God! Lance Academy school grass!"
The last sentence of the blog post was the loudest, and many people nearby looked sideways. Ning Chu was still thinking about the coin he lacked, and nodded perfunctorily: "Hmm..."
The arena was built in the center of Crow Market, like a huge stadium embedded in the ground, surrounded by viewing stands that were already full of people.
The scene was so spectacular that Ning Chu even wondered if the whole school was here. He struggled to follow Bowen through the crowd.
Bowen led him to a round platform, and took out a few gold coins from his pocket: "Hurry up, buy Wusi!"
There were two transparent boxes on the round platform, and the staff of the arena were in charge of registration. The box with the name of "Wuss" was quickly filled with more than half of it, while the box on the other side was empty.
Ning Chu guessed a little bit, this should be the place to bet, to bet on who will win the battle.
He touched his pocket, a little embarrassed.
Seeing that he was not moving at all, Bo Wen urged, "Hurry up! Wu Si won't lose!"
Ning Chu said calmly, "I... lost the money."
The three gold coins that were used to settle the task were put into Ning Chu’s hands not long ago, and now he said that he lost them, and the corner of Bowen’s mouth twitched: "You..."
There were too many people tonight, and it was impossible to go back and look for it. Bowen lowered his head and took three gold coins from his hand to Ning Chu: "Lend it to you first, and return it to me after winning."
From everyone's point of view, this match is almost a sure win for one side, and everyone buys Wusi, resulting in very low odds.
But a little bit is a little bit, Ning Chu held three gold coins and put them into Wu Si's box.
There were no seats left in the viewing stand, and the two could only squeeze in the periphery, waiting for the start of the battle. Bowen explained to Ning Chu the arena and the standings in Yashi.
Discussion duels are very common among students, from the initial verbal engagements, to the establishment of Crow Market later, to provide a special place for discussion, so as to prevent students from fighting and damaging the college facilities.
After a long time, someone made a scoreboard to count the wins and losses of all the students who participated in the competition.
The more you win, the higher your points.
As soon as the scoreboard came out, it was like a roll of honor among students. More people were eager to try and challenge those who ranked high on the scoreboard to prove their strength.
There were more people watching the excitement, and everyone began to place bets on who would win.
Up to now, in addition to taking the initiative to choose people to challenge, Yashi will randomly draw two people from the leaderboard to fight against each other every day. The winner will get points and a huge reward, and points will be deducted for failure or abstention.
When Ning Chu heard that there was money to take, his eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly darkened again.
In his situation, he could only lose if he played.
Bowen was still talking to Ning Chu enthusiastically: "Wus is the undefeated god of the standings! Do you know what his contract beast is? A dragon!"
Ning Chu turned his head in surprise: "Dragon?"
"Cough," Bowen touched the tip of his nose, "Yarong."
He did not forget to emphasize: "The sub-dragon is also very powerful! No one in the academy has been able to tame a sub-dragon!"
While speaking, the two people involved in the battle entered the arena.
The cheers at the scene reached the highest level, Ning Chu covered his ears and looked down from the gap in the crowd.
The distance was too far, and he could only see two figures, one in a light blue school uniform and the other in black, standing in their respective positions.
The staff asked the two to shake hands and bow to each other before the fight officially began.
The contracted beasts of both sides were released first, and when the gray-brown dragon appeared on the field, the audience cheered again.
The man in black was the Wu Si mentioned in Bowen's mouth. When Ning Chu saw the contracted beast beside him, he was puzzled: "Huh?"
Why does he feel that this sub-dragon looks familiar...it seems to be a kind of ordinary dragon.
Ning Chu wasn't sure if he remembered it wrong, he opened "Dragon Island" and searched for the illustrations one by one.
Ning Chu was dazzled by the pictures of ordinary dragons. After turning over half of them, he saw a familiar gray-brown ordinary dragon.
Just at this time, Wu Si stepped on the dragon's back and flew into the sky, and Ning Chu took the opportunity to compare with the portrait in the illustrated book.
— exactly the same.
As the name suggests, it has short and thick hind legs, its front paws are retracted under the abdomen, and there is a hard carapace extending from the back to the tip of the tail, which is good at short-distance sprinting.
Just looking at its appearance, people who don't know it may really recognize it as a dragon.
When Ning Chu compared the illustrated books, the battle had ended quickly, and there was no doubt that Wu Si would win.
Bowen excitedly took Ning Chu to collect the money, Ning Chu looked sideways in the direction of Wu Si, and looked at him a few more times.
The black-haired boy put away the contracted beast and left indifferently, turning a blind eye to everything outside the arena.
The three gold coins bet will be returned, and there will be only two more gold coins, which is the reward for winning.
Ning Chu returned the three gold coins to Bowen, charged the remaining one into the game, and kept the other on him as a spare.
It was already very late when the two returned to the dormitory. There was a theoretical class the next morning. The blog post reminded Ning Chu to get up early tomorrow, then turn off the lights and go to sleep.
Ning Chu lay on the bed and opened "Dragon Island".
The map has been unlocked. From the overall view, the island is covered by a large area of green.
The green places are full of woods and vegetation. The darker the color, the more vegetation there is. The once-established residential area is also green.
Ning Chu tried to enter the area on the map, and found that his original character in the game was gone, but he could still use tools to chop trees, but he couldn't see the character.
According to the approximate location shown on the data card, he found the sleeping ordinary dragon cubs in several caves.
They clung to each other, lying on the ground covered with a thin layer of hay, not aware of Ning Chu's arrival at all.
Ning Chu wanted to reach out and touch them, but there were no characters and he couldn't do any interactive actions.
He left the cave and found the playground repaired before crossing in the back mountain.
The inside and surroundings of the playground have been covered by thick bushes. The brand-new dragon climbing frame in memory has lost its paint, and the mahogany carefully selected by Ning Chu is cracked and tilted, looking extremely desolate.
He sighed, cleaned up the weeds in the playground, and went to the residential area to cut trees.
After the time travel, the time in the game seemed to be synchronized with the reality. Ning Chu was busy until midnight, went hunting and caught a few rabbits, and put them at the entrance of the cave together with some soft fresh grass.
After finishing all this, Ning Chu went offline to sleep.
After he left, a shadow appeared above Long Island.
Shadows flew down through the clouds, and a dragon stopped outside the cave.
Its body is smooth and fit, most of its body is covered by purple scales, which shine softly under the moonlight, and some silvery white scales fall on its side and the end of dragon wings, the dragon horns on both sides of its forehead are short, and there is a most The long ones are between the eyebrows, and the sharp tops are upward.
The purple dragon saw the dry grass and rabbit meat at the entrance of the cave, as well as the obviously cleaned area around it, with a puzzled look in its eyes.
—
Early the next morning, Bowen opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that Ning Chu had already woken up and was sitting by the bed in a daze.
Ning Chu rummaged through Yuan's belongings just now, except for school uniforms and some books, he didn't find a penny.
Seeing Bowen wake up, Ning Chu asked him aloud: "Bowen, I want to make money, is there a faster way?"
Bowen yawned: "Appointment, arena."
In the academy, they can only rely on these two ways to make money.
Bowen sat up slowly and took his coat: "Those are not easy things... What do you want to make money for?"
Ning Chu was silent for a while, then said vaguely, "It's nothing, just asking."
The two went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then went to the teaching building together for class.
Food and lodging are included in the college, so Ning Chu doesn't have to worry about food.
When I came to the classroom, there were very few people inside, and it was not full until the class bell rang.
The teacher in charge of the lecture walked in, glanced down, and opened the textbook.
Sitting next to Ning Chu, Bowen leaned over and said in a low voice, "Many people don't like to take theoretical courses...they only need credits for practical courses."
The implication is that only useless people like them need to take theory classes.
Ning Chu found a schedule in the textbook. Today, there is only one class for the whole day, and the rest of the time is arranged by the students themselves. They can ask the tutor to answer questions or practice magic by themselves.
Ning Chu stared at the textbook and was distracted, planning to go to Yashi.
In the afternoon, Bowen took a nap in the dormitory, and Ning Chu quietly left alone, and came to the Yashi Police Office.
Ning Chu stood in front of the stage and asked, "Is there any assignment suitable for the first grade?"
The staff member was still the same person from yesterday, and he took out a booklet full of cards: "Look for it yourself."
The address that the delegation needs to go to was written on the card. Ning Chu looked through it carefully, and his eyes stayed on a card that said "Mystery Forest".
"First-level assignment: Thirty pieces of Sumu fruit. Location: Outer side of Midu Forest. Reward: One gold coin."
There are generally no monsters in the periphery, which is safer than when Ning Chu went there last time.
He pulled out the card: "This..."
The staff glanced at it: "The price has increased, thirty two gold coins."
Ning Chu's eyes lit up, and he heard him say again: "Recently, a magic dragon appeared in Midu Forest, and no one is willing to accept the order there...you can go if you are not afraid of death."
"I'll take this," Ning Chu signed the card while saying, "I'm lucky, I won't be able to touch it."
He said this with his mouth, but he thought the exact opposite in his heart.
Ning Chu had no contracted beasts, and it would take a long time to walk to Midu Forest. He struggled for a while, and finally spent a copper coin to ride the magic beast car in pain.
When there was still a short distance to the forest, the driver said nothing and stopped moving, so Ning Chu had no choice but to get out of the car and walk there alone.
Before he came, he made some preparations. He took a small knife he found from the dormitory, and hurriedly read half of the magic book, although he didn't understand anything.
The appearance of Sumu fruit is very recognizable, it is a small orange fruit, and there are many outside Midu Forest. Ning Chu just walked two steps into the forest and saw a Sumu fruit tree.
He took out the cloth bag he had prepared in advance, and looked around while picking the fruit.
The surroundings are very quiet, with the occasional chirping of birds and insects passing by, or the sound of leaves being blown by the wind.
After Ning Chu collected the fruit on the tree, he yelled into the air, "San San."
He knew it was probably not there, and he couldn't hear him.
Anyway, there was no one around, so Ning Chu simply raised the volume and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Old—three—!"
"--are you still there!"
The sparrows in the forest were scared away by Ning Chu, the breeze was still blowing, and no dragon responded to Ning Chu.
He didn't dare to go deeper for fear of disturbing the monsters in the forest, so he only shouted a few times while picking the fruit.
He felt like the owner who kept calling the dog to go home for dinner, but he didn't know whether San Zai would remember him or not.
After picking thirty Sumu fruits one after another, Ning Chu stood there holding the bag for a while.
If he didn't find it today, he will come back to see it next time. There is always a chance.
Ning Chu was about to turn back along the road when suddenly a shadow was cast under his feet.
The scorching wind blew past, and the heavy breath slowly approached behind, and at the same time, the sound of branches being crushed sounded.
Ning Chu turned around and opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
The red dragon folded its wings, its huge body squeezed into the woods, its black eyes stared at Ning Chu indifferently.
Ning Chu put down the Su Mu Guo in his arms, and tried to get closer: "Cub, it's me, I'm Dad."
His tone was sour: "Do you remember me?"
"I had an accident that day, so I didn't come back on purpose," Ning Chu said incoherently at this moment, "Did you see the playground I built at the foot of the mountain? The first time I saw you, I walked through it..."
When mentioning the playground, Sanzai flicked his tail slightly.
It lowered its head and approached Ning Chu, sniffing him.
The impact of such a giant dragon being so close at hand made Ning Chu's heart beat wildly, and he reached out to touch the tip of its nose.
However, he had just stretched out his hand over it, and before it really touched its scales, it suddenly retreated.
San Zai straightened his back and glanced into the distance.
It turned its head to look at Ning Chu again, then set off to fly away.
The hot wind made Ning Chu unable to open his eyes, he raised his hand to block it, and asked with difficulty: "Where are you going?"
When he tried to chase after him, San Zai's figure had disappeared.
Feeling lost and puzzled, Ning Chu opened the game to check San Zai's current state.
【Status: Uneasy】
In the blink of an eye, the anxiety in the status bar turned into "excited" again.
Such an emotional reaction should be because he recognized himself... But why did it leave again?
Ning Chu waited on the spot for a while, but before the third cub turned back, seeing that it was getting dark, he left the forest step by step.
—
After leaving Ningchu, San Zai flew all the way to the depths of the forest and came to a lake.
There is another person by the lake, wearing a black robe, sitting on a stone sharpening a knife, and a gray-brown dragon lies quietly at his feet.
The red dragon fell slowly, Wu Si blew on the polished silver blade, and looked up at it: "Why is it so late?"
