Chapter 93
Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan could only rally their teams to hunt dragons, enlisting several powerful external allies from the rankings to assist them.
Yu Xunge planned to intercept that young dragon ahead of time, as it was the only dragon that had maliciously targeted Yu Xunhuan from start to finish.
Whether it was due to her unwavering will or the dragon's pride, it never lashed out at her, even if it instinctively found her displeasing. If it had, Yu Xunge feared she wouldn’t have survived to see her third year.
How could she possibly withstand the wrath of a dragon, especially given her past life as an ordinary player?
Once, she had quietly asked the dragon why it didn’t attack her. The dragon replied that it didn’t bully the weak, but whenever Yu Xunhuan spoke to it, it would inevitably turn its fury on him. Even though it would suffer double damage due to the contract if it harmed its master, it would still attack Yu Xunhuan without hesitation, never backing down.
After all, Yu Xunhuan hadn’t tamed it through his own abilities; he had relied on a group assault, and he wasn’t even the main force! Despite his stronger magical fluctuations compared to others, he was a coward, hiding in the back the entire time!
The dragon refused to acknowledge Yu Xunhuan as its master, which meant he couldn’t harness its power. Yet every time Yu Xunge met with Yu Xunhuan, he would summon the dragon. At the time, she thought it was because he noticed her fondness for the creature and wanted her to see it more.
Now, Yu Xunge understood Yu Xunhuan’s true intention: he wanted the dragon to vent its anger and calm its emotions.
When Yu Xunge finally escaped, Yu Xunhuan was still grappling with the dragon. However, after a few months of fleeing, she discovered that the Su family had begun selling dragon blood at exorbitant prices...
That dragon had likely been treated like a pig. Although the contract couldn’t force a dragon to fight for him—
—the dragon would rather endure the backlash of the contract than obey Yu Xunhuan’s commands—it was still a master-servant contract, which meant putting the pet into a deep sleep was possible.
More importantly, when she fled the Su family, the dragon, for reasons unknown, had actually helped her by using a random teleportation skill to whisk her away from the encirclement of the Su family—only for her past self to mistakenly believe that Yu Xunhuan had ordered it to assist her.
What a foolish mistake!
She had to get that dragon.
Yu Xunge certainly wouldn’t steal the dragon in front of Yu Xunhuan and the others as an external ally; that would be tantamount to tearing the mask off their faces and would offend the dragon. To truly tame it, she would have to defeat it one-on-one. To avoid any complications, she decided not to suppress her level; she would contract the dragon as soon as possible.
Besides, she could find another opportunity to trick Yu Xunhuan.
In her past life, the most famous pet was Yu Xunhuan’s dragon, followed by a slightly lower-ranked jiao dragon.
That jiao dragon had lived for who knows how many years, possessing exceptional intelligence and a fierce personality.
Unlike the young dragon, which had developed its ferocity over time due to being contracted by a coward it looked down upon, this jiao dragon was born brutal.
Its situation was similar to that of the young dragon; it had also been discovered by a powerful faction. At that time, Yu Xunhuan’s dragon was extremely famous on Blue Star, practically a sensation, with everyone knowing that Yu Xunhuan from Huaxia had a dragon.
Everyone wanted a dragon, and a jiao dragon? That was still half a dragon!
The leader of that faction immediately gathered people to hunt the dragon, hoping to contract it. Little did they know, it had a skill called "Reversal." It feigned weakness step by step, and at the moment of the contract, it reversed the contract, turning from servant to master, while the leader who sought to contract it became its pet.
That leader suffered considerable humiliation and became the subject of many jokes, but since the master would die if the pet died, he couldn’t let his subordinates kill the jiao dragon.
Although that dungeon didn’t belong to the Su family but to another faction, that wasn’t a problem. Yu Xunge had plenty of ways to make Yu Xunhuan interested. What she needed to ensure was that she could become Yu Xunhuan’s ally when the time came. She didn’t trust Yu Xunhuan’s luck; what if the jiao dragon could reverse the contract with others but failed against him?
Of course, she had to stick close to Yu Xunhuan, giving him a lucky buff. If even then the jiao dragon failed to reverse the contract, she would intervene immediately.
Moreover, given the current relationship between Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan, it was uncertain who would end up with the jiao dragon...
During this dungeon run with Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan, she noticed the subtlety in their relationship. Su Yitong was the master, while Yu Xunhuan was the servant. Although their relationship had appeared similar in her past life, it had been more of a playful dynamic of a strong woman and a weak man.
Now, however, it was genuinely Su Yitong as the master and Yu Xunhuan as the servant. At this point, Yu Xunhuan couldn’t even sit at the table, let alone enjoy the benefits of being a kept man.
As a good sister, she had to help Yu Xunhuan find another master.
**Chapter 120: How is this not a win-win?**
In the latter half of May, Yu Xunge, through Zhao Shuying’s connections, found several more professional combat instructors. The tuition was equivalent to the rent for the dungeon; the longer she studied, the longer her rent was waived. Classes were held every afternoon from 2 PM to 5 PM. Now, she attended classes on Zelan Star every morning, plus two hours of dungeon runs, and then went to her lessons.
With everyone’s physical data digitized, while not everyone was a superhero, those on the rankings were no longer ordinary people. After adding points to strength, agility, and constitution, anyone exceeding 10 points could easily defeat former Olympic champions. Consequently, many training methods were being updated, pushing the limits of human capability.
The Special Affairs Bureau didn’t refuse Yu Xunge’s request. If she were an ordinary player, she would have to join the Bureau to enjoy such privileges. However, for someone like Yu Xunge, who was on the rankings and leaned towards the official side, the Bureau’s attitude was one of friendly cooperation.
Utilizing such a lone wolf was highly cost-effective; it required no significant resources for training, yet could be used as combat power through transactions when needed—of course, such lone wolves had to undergo scrutiny, and those who were greedy would gradually be excluded from the list.
However, the precious opportunities to enhance attribute points couldn’t be traded to Yu Xunge for now, but finding coaches for training was entirely feasible. After all, relationships are built through interaction, right? If the lead instructor taught her a lesson, they might not become friends, but future encounters would surely be more amicable.
One-on-one training was out of the question; resources were tight, and good instructors were like dungeons—impossible to serve just one person. Yu Xunge was directly placed into a small team of ten, and unlike the combat coach she had found before, this one taught lethal techniques.
Moreover, there were many specialized equipment here that couldn’t be found outside, including devices for training reaction time, impact resistance, and footwork.
Her favorite was the modified tennis ball launcher. There was a designated area for training reaction and evasion skills, with a launcher in each corner. Once activated, the machines would shoot tennis balls at her from various angles and heights. By inputting her agility score, the speed would be adjusted accordingly, pushing her to her limits.
The tennis balls came in red and white; she had to hit back the red ones while dodging the white ones. With all four machines running simultaneously, there was even a tracking and locking feature.
Unfortunately, the Bureau didn’t sell this machine, so Yu Xunge couldn’t train freely here.
Such training was hard to hide; if she held back, she wouldn’t achieve her training goals. To ensure she could train freely in the future, she thought about customizing some weights to wear.
After just one class, Yu Xunge decided she would stay in this training camp for as long as possible!
She also signed up for close combat and shooting classes. If she weren’t worried about biting off more than she could chew, she would have signed up for everything.
Just as the Special Affairs Bureau wanted to build a good relationship with her, Yu Xunge also wanted to establish more visible connections with the Bureau. This would help her avoid being tied down by the Su family; she didn’t want to be labeled as part of the Su family.
It was a mutual pursuit.
Clearly, other lone wolves training there thought the same way. Those who could be lone wolves were likely intelligent individuals, not fools.
At least, those who could participate in the Bureau’s training programs through deep cooperation were no idiots. While everyone might not be overly enthusiastic, they certainly wouldn’t stir up trouble, creating a pleasant atmosphere in the class.
Moreover, Yu Xunge noticed that most of the participants were on the rankings; even those who weren’t were rising stars in the later stages.
In less than two months, Yu Xunge not only significantly improved her combat abilities but also added twelve new friends to her list: nine classmates and three instructors.
These individuals would be valuable connections for future boss raids or trading equipment, blueprints, and skills.
However, she was certain that her information had leaked quite a bit.
Even when she returned to the training camp for the second time with weights strapped to her, she sometimes revealed a hint of her true strength. The instructors training her were at her level, yet their strength and agility were nowhere near hers… Even when she held back, some things couldn’t be hidden from professionals.
Thus, she was sure that the Bureau’s data on her indicated her attribute points were above normal levels. But there was no need to worry; she could easily attribute her high attribute points to good equipment. After all, she was lucky—what was wrong with having some good gear? Moreover, this was something she had intentionally revealed to the Bureau.
