Chapter 101
“Ahhh! I want a dragon too! I want to be a dragon rider!”
“Sis! Let’s hold a meet-and-greet! One silver coin for a handshake with the dragon, two silver coins for a photo, and three silver coins for an autograph! I guarantee you’ll make it to the top three on the wealth leaderboard!”
“Right, right! Let’s get the dragon out there! Now! Immediately!”
“What’s a pet contract? Where did you get it?”
Yu Xunge’s agility and intelligence had both improved, allowing her to process the flood of information on her screen with remarkable speed.
After seeing the message, she quickly listed the basic pet contract scroll she had bought for 498 gold on the market anonymously for 588 gold.
With the impact of her dragon, there was no doubt someone would buy it.
Sure enough, just a few minutes after posting, it was snapped up at a fixed price—most likely by some powerful faction.
Yu Xunge wiped away tears of joy as she made a profit of 19 gold.
“Someone just auctioned a pet contract scroll, and it was gone in seconds…”
“Yu Xunge, ah, my beautiful ex-wife!”
“Gone in two minutes! I was still trying to gather money for it…”
“Is it some kind of lucky encounter? Like, the dragon was about to die and she just happened to find it?”
“What? Yu Xunge got married? You’re her husband?”
“A level 14 dragon? It can only appear in dungeons above level 13, right? Who has access to high-level dungeons? Let’s team up and check it out!”
“…She’s not married… That’s just their way of fangirling. She used to be a celebrity and retired, so they call her ex-wife.”
“Huh? Who’s her husband?”
“Does she have kids?”
“Wait, she’s married now?”
“Is her ex-husband in the industry? Who gets the kids, her or her husband?”
“Boy or girl? What surname will they have?”
Yu Xunge: “……………………”
She switched to the S City channel.
“Wow, the light of S City!”
“If only she could share how she got that pet! It would help so many people.”
“Here we go again! It’s been years, and they still think moral coercion works? People are just rebelling against it now; the more you push, the more they resist.”
“Exactly! It’s hilarious! Look at how many people on the leaderboard even care about regular players?”
“Just a casual attempt, you never know, right?”
“True, haha, just a casual try—if it works, it’s a win.”
“The only one…”
“Do you think she’ll sell that dragon? I’ll offer 10 billion!”
“I’ll offer 15 billion for one.”
“Then I’ll go 20 billion.”
“Do you think it’s too late for me to get a divorce and pursue her?”
“She might just have that dragon kick your ass.”
After enjoying the lively chat, Yu Xunge finally opened her private messages.
First, she checked Zhao Shuying’s message.
[Zhao Shuying]: ∠(°ゝ°)! Sis, do you need a humanoid pet?
[Yu Xunge]: Speak properly, I’m busy.
[Zhao Shuying]: Are you selling the dungeon location? How much?
Zhao Shuying was clearly convinced that Yu Xunge wouldn’t sell the dragon, so she didn’t even ask about it and went straight for the dungeon location, obviously hoping to have the Special Affairs Bureau contract a new dragon once the dungeon refreshed.
In her previous life, the Su family had tightly guarded this dungeon. Even if the dragon had been contracted by Yu Xunhuan, Yu Xunge had never been to this dungeon, so she had no idea what had happened after the dragon was taken away.
But one thing was certain: no new dragons would appear. Otherwise, Su Yitong would have definitely gotten one for herself.
Still, she needed to confirm. Yu Xunge turned to Tulan, who was pouring wine into the dragon’s mouth: “If I take you out, will new dragons come when this dungeon refreshes?”
Tulan let out a loud roar: “No, our dragons are already scarce. The Twelve Holy Clans forced us to send out a dragon to battle on Blue Star, so we had no choice but to give up one slot. As long as I don’t die, no other dragons will come.”
Yu Xunge felt relieved. She planned to wait until Tulan was full before going out and then returning to check things out herself.
However, she had no intention of selling the dungeon location to Zhao Shuying.
As she always said, she couldn’t trust anyone. This was the Su family’s dungeon; even a tiny leak of information could lead to disaster.
[Yu Xunge]: Let’s collaborate next time; not this time.
[Zhao Shuying]: Okay.
Yu Xunge appreciated Zhao Shuying’s straightforwardness. They often joked and bantered, but whenever Yu Xunge seriously declined, she never pressed the issue.
**Chapter 130: “Akaspanda Chihuahua”**
After dealing with Zhao Shuying, she opened her private chat with Yu Xunhuan.
[Yu Xunhuan]: Sis!!! Where did you get that dragon? How did you do it? I want one too! Sis! Sis! Sis~! How much? I’ll gather the money!
[Yu Xunge]: It’s not the kind of pet you’re thinking of. I signed an equal contract with this dragon; I can’t command it.
Yu Xunhuan frowned and repeated this to Su Yitong and the others, but unfortunately, the game interface was only visible to her, so the butler of the Su family couldn’t verify the truth with skills.
On the other side, Su Yitong also received Yu Xunge’s reply.
The content was similar: the dragon and she had an equal contract. She did indeed possess the dragon, but she couldn’t force it to obey her for now.
Regardless of whether the information was true or not, it certainly made Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong feel better.
See? Yu Xunge was only level 7; how could she contract a level 14 dragon?
Yu Xunge then played along with Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiu, promising to let them see the dragon later, before checking in with those she met at the training camp.
She needed to gauge their reactions to determine if it was worth continuing to interact with them.
It was no surprise that they were all lone wolves, preferring straightforward transactions over using friendship and social niceties as an excuse to get free information.
Their messages were either congratulatory or directly inquiring if she was selling information about the pet.
Yu Xunge replied to each one, thanking those who congratulated her, while for the inquiries, she uniformly responded: “If you want to contract a pet, prepare a pet contract first. Just weaken the beast to low health, and you can contract it.” Of course, there was no need to charge for that.
She also shared this information with Zhao Shuying, Yu Xunhuan, and Su Yitong.
Tulan had cleared out all the dishes Yu Xunge had practiced making over the past six months, as well as the wine she had bought to give to Hufflepuff.
Yu Xunge patiently waited. Each time Tulan snatched something from Yu Xunhuan, her mood would lift, as if she had received a mental massage, her thoughts flowing freely, and her entire being felt at ease.
Once Tulan was full, Yu Xunge put Tulan back into the pet space.
The pet space was a different-dimensional area that changed its environment according to the preferences of different pets.
However, Tulan didn’t like it much; after a few seconds inside, it came back out.
Yu Xunge coaxed, “Just stay in there for a bit, and I’ll let you out when I get home, okay? You’re too big; it’s not convenient.”
Tulan huffed, then, to Yu Xunge’s astonishment, began to shrink until it was the size of a smartphone.
Yu Xunge crouched down, looking at the light blue baby dragon on the ground, which had a round, white belly. Its cute, plump, and miniature form combined with its “I’m super cool” dragon face was just too adorable! She screamed internally—this was too cute!!!
Every generation has its own magical creatures!
Yu Xunge lifted the little blue dragon high and sang a tune from The Lion King: “Akaspanda Chihuahua!”
Tulan looked bewildered: “??o((⊙﹏⊙))o”
After her moment of excitement, Yu Xunge casually placed Tulan on her shoulder and said seriously, “Celebration ceremony.” Don’t ask!
Tulan: “Alright then.”
Yu Xunge went up the mountain to find a sheep, set it on fire, and roasted it whole for Tulan, then cut it into small pieces, just the right size for Tulan to hold and nibble on.
She packed the pieces into a food box and handed it to Tulan. Tulan had its own dimensional pocket and could store it away, taking it out whenever it wanted to eat.
Tulan sat on Yu Xunge’s shoulder, happily munching on a small piece of lamb.
This human friend is really great!!
Yu Xunge asked, “If I use a teleportation skill, will you come with me?”
Tulan replied, “Yes, we have a contract. As long as I touch you, I count as part of you.”
Yu Xunge felt reassured and used Phantom Shift to arrive at the dungeon entrance. She drank an invisibility potion, only to regretfully discover that the little blue dragon was still floating in the air, gnawing on a lamb chop. It seemed the potion couldn’t affect living beings, nor could it allow contracted partners to share the potion’s effects.
She noted this down and took out a bottle of juice, mixing it with a bottle of invisibility potion before handing it to Tulan.
Once Tulan was invisible too, she stepped out of the dungeon to refresh and reset it.
…
Five minutes later, the person and dragon returned to the hillside, spotting a massive level 15 lizard lying on the mountaintop from a distance.
No wonder the main characters didn’t add any more pets after getting the dragon; it was indeed a bit ugly. If a pet’s rarity didn’t reach the level of a dragon, and there was a chance it might resist even at the cost of punishment, it certainly wasn’t worth expending too many resources.
