Chapter 100
But this dragon seemed to have an addiction to unleashing its ultimate moves... As they fought on, the bond between the human and the dragon grew—perhaps it was because its skills always missed Yu Xunge, and to ease the awkwardness, it would loudly announce the name of its skill before using it.
Dragon: "Aurora Veil!"
Yu Xunge instinctively replied, "What kind of attribute is that skill?"
The dragon closed its mouth and stopped charging its attack, introducing in a deep voice, "Ice type, my strongest ice skill." Then it resumed charging.
Yu Xunge: "Thanks..."
Bringing this creature back as a pet... I hope this mind-numbing battle instinct doesn’t rub off on its owner.
The battle raged from 5 PM until 1 AM, a full eight hours!
During this time, the dragon's health had once dropped to 30%, but then it used a skill from its divine talent, instantly restoring its health...
And this happened twice!
Even though Yu Xunge had mentally prepared herself, she nearly spat blood at that moment.
There were also little interludes; occasionally, Yu Xunge would take a few bites of her cooking to give herself a buff. She was well-fed, but the dragon was drooling. By the third hour, it could no longer hold back and roared, "You’re eating again! You’re cheating! I don’t care; we’re taking a ten-minute break, and I want to eat too!"
Yu Xunge quickly retorted, "But you heal when you eat!"
Dragon: "You heal too when you eat!"
Yu Xunge: "But this is my food."
Dragon: "…Then how about this? You treat me to a meal, and after that, we can fight again. If my health drops below 15%, I’ll consider myself defeated."
What was there to disagree with? Yu Xunge needed a break too... Besides, the dragon had just used a healing skill and was currently at 93% health, so taking a break wouldn’t hurt her.
Two hours later...
Dragon: "How about a little more? If I drop below 20%, I’ll consider myself defeated."
Two hours later...
Dragon: "How about a bit more? 25%?"
Yu Xunge: "..."
After eight hours, the two of them had eaten three meals... Fortunately, Yu Xunge had been practicing cooking for a long time, so her bag was filled with food. She had even planned to sell the leftovers to Zhao Shuying for some trust from her homeland, but now she had run into a bottomless pit.
When the dragon's health dropped to 25% again, Yu Xunge, panting and dodging skills, asked, "Are you willing to sign a contract with me? I promise to treat you as a friend, providing food and shelter! I’ll take you out to play; don’t you find it boring here?"
Unlike the otherworldly beings from Zelanxing, dragons were extremely rare and not keen on invading Blue Star. In her previous life, Yu Xunge had only seen this one dragon in three years.
The young dragon was already tired and had long realized she couldn’t defeat this human—she was just too difficult to deal with!
What she needed was a way out. Her attacks began to slow, and she opened her mouth to let out a dragon's roar.
Fortunately, Yu Xunge's translator was top-notch and could translate the dragon language.
—"Hmph, really? I don’t believe you."
From the dragon's noticeably slowed attacks, it was clear she was looking for an out.
Seeing the dragon's desire, Yu Xunge immediately offered, "Really, I promise, we’re signing an equal contract."
"I won’t harm you or force you to do anything you dislike; you just need to protect me. I’m too weak and need a strong and beautiful dragon to guard me."
This was no mere out!
It was a red carpet rolled out with fireworks and a soundtrack playing in the background.
The dragon felt flattered and sat down with a huff, exhausted. She had never fought for so long in her life!!!
Damn it, she was still a child!
The dragon raised her chin and lifted a claw, "Bring the contract; I find you somewhat agreeable. I can protect you."
To be honest, she didn’t want to stay on this mountain forever. Had she known it would be this boring, she wouldn’t have seized this opportunity. She thought Blue Star would be fun, but now she realized she couldn’t go anywhere.
Most importantly, this human was strong enough. Despite having inferior attributes and levels, she had truly defeated the dragon through her own abilities.
The dragon sensed that if she didn’t concede, this Blue Star human would keep dragging things out.
Yu Xunge stepped forward, though she didn’t fully let her guard down. She was ready to use her shadow shift to dodge at any moment. The dragon had pride, and her character was straightforward, but Yu Xunge had grown accustomed to being vigilant. She laid the contract on the ground, saying, "You can check it."
The dragon used her claw to lift the contract and carefully examined it. After confirming that the human wasn’t lying, she pricked her claw and drew a bit of dragon blood, signing her name on the contract with two complex yet elegant symbols.
Yu Xunge also pricked her finger and signed her name in blood, three characters: Yu, Xun, Ge.
The moment she finished the last stroke of "Ge," all the words and symbols on the contract began to emit a golden glow. Seconds later, the scroll transformed into two golden orbs of light, flying into the foreheads of Yu Xunge and the young dragon.
The dragon wrote her name again on the ground, introducing herself to Yu Xunge, "I’m Tu Lan."
This time, even without the translator, Yu Xunge could understand her language.
Looking up at the beautiful young dragon, Yu Xunge smiled brightly, "Hello, Tu Lan, I’m Yu Xunge."
At that moment, the game system chimed with a notification.
【World Announcement: A player has officially signed a pet contract with an otherworldly beast; the pet leaderboard function is now activated.】
【Ding—Player Yu Xunge and her pet Tu Lan have entered the pet leaderboard; you can choose to hide your information.】
Without hesitation, Yu Xunge selected 【No】.
Unless she planned to keep Tu Lan in the pet space for life, there was no way to hide this.
Since it couldn’t be hidden, why bother with anonymity?
Opening the leaderboard interface, the pet leaderboard displayed only a lonely line beneath the top directory.
【Pet】【Level】【Race】【Contractor】
Tu Lan 14 Level Dragon Yu Xunge
Yu Xunge’s private messages exploded instantly—even with her settings to only accept messages from friends.
Zhao Shuying, Yu Xunhuan, Su Yitong, Yu Qingshan, Yu Bi... her coach... nearly everyone in her contact list messaged her.
Even her email was flooded, reaching over 990,000 in the blink of an eye.
If only she could receive phone signals in the dungeon; otherwise, her phone would probably be ringing off the hook.
At 1 AM, was no one sleeping?
【Chapter 129: Pet Leaderboard Activated! The Only One Listed!】
She pulled out a large tablecloth and laid out all the food and wine from her bag, gently saying to Tu Lan, "Eat up~"
Tu Lan was already starving and didn’t hold back, grabbing a piece of meat with her claw and starting to munch. Seeing Tu Lan enjoying her meal, Yu Xunge quickly got up, first erasing Tu Lan’s name from the ground, then began collecting the dragon blood that had spilled during the fight.
She collected the still-liquid blood from the leaves into glass vials; dragon blood was an extremely valuable alchemical material, practically priceless on Zelanxing.
For the blood that had dripped into the soil or solidified on the leaves, she scooped it up along with the soil and leaves into a container. While these couldn’t be used for alchemy, they could be sold for money or exchanged with the Special Affairs Bureau for trust from her homeland!
When she found a small hill of dragon dung behind the dragon’s nest, Yu Xunge immediately pulled out her storage box and shovel to start collecting it. What a treasure!!
Even if it couldn’t be sold on Zelanxing, she was sure Zhao Shuying would want it. Not only would she take it, but after buying it, she might even boast, "As expected of dragon dung, it smells amazing!"
Tu Lan watched without getting angry. After all, Yu Xunge had defeated her in a one-on-one battle, and she was convinced that these were all Yu Xunge’s achievements.
However, when she saw Yu Xunge shoveling dragon dung, she fell silent for a moment. It seemed this Blue Star human truly admired and liked her... She couldn’t help but say, "If you like it, from now on, all my dung is yours, whether solid or liquid."
Yu Xunge paused her shoveling, turned back, and smiled at Tu Lan, "Thanks, just the solid stuff is fine."
Tu Lan: "What about the shape? Do you like it…"
Yu Xunge quickly interrupted, "Anything is fine!!! Anything is fine! Hurry up and eat; you must be starving!" Please stop talking, don’t make me beg you!
Tu Lan: She cares about me.
While shoveling dragon dung, Yu Xunge opened the chat channel to check her messages.
At this moment, the speed of the chat channel’s scrolling was comparable to the night of February 22, when the game officially invaded.
World channel, Huaxia channel, regional channel—all were buzzing about Yu Xunge and her dragon.
This was a dragon!!
The world channel was filled with various languages, making Yu Xunge’s eyes hurt, so she switched directly to Huaxia.
【Huaxia】
"How did she manage to get a level 14 dragon to be her pet?! Isn’t she only level 7?"
"She was quiet for a few days and dropped to 87th place, but last night her experience skyrocketed, and she shot back into the top three. The data forum is discussing this; didn’t anyone see?"
"Did she find a dragon’s nest?? Can we have one dragon per household?!"
"Ah, look at the dragon’s avatar; it’s a light blue dragon, so beautiful, like a gemstone!"
"Wait, how did she find a dragon? Can dragons be contracted? Can I contract an otherworldly being? I want a blood elf! I want to be stepped on by a blood elf!"
