Chapter 103
Su Yitong stared at the dragon. She had liked this dragon ever since she saw its avatar on the pet leaderboard, and now that she was face to face with it, her affection only deepened. She truly wanted to acquire it. Just yesterday, she had privately messaged Yu Xunge, expressing her desire to buy the dragon, offering any terms she could think of, but Yu Xunge hadn’t even bothered to respond to her.
Before coming here, she had planned to discuss it face to face one more time. She would have offered not just money and gold, but even suggested that after signing a contract, she could have Yu Xunge listen to the "Hymn of Hope" every day.
But she didn’t dare to say that in front of the dragon. Even though this ice dragon named Tulang had shrunk to the size of a smartphone, the aura of a dragon still radiated from it. Su Yitong couldn’t gamble on whether discussing its sale in front of it would provoke its wrath.
Moreover, after seeing Tulang’s divine talent level and attributes, her mind cleared up…
She couldn’t afford it—not even if she sold the Su family.
As for Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, the latter was busy taking pictures of the dragon to post on social media, while the former looked at Yu Xunge with a loving and proud expression.
**Chapter 132: The Sister Who Shines at Critical Moments**
This morning, Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong arrived first at the Yu family villa. Yu Xunhuan even hinted to Yu Qingshan if he could somehow persuade Yu Xunge to give him the dragon. Yu Qingshan was so amused he almost laughed; in the past, he could manage to scrape together some money, but this was a dragon!
If he had a dragon, he could take it to the grave—there would be no way he could sell it! And give it away?
Such a blatantly offensive suggestion was something Yu Qingshan would never voice. Not only that, but he also needed to find ways to cultivate his relationship with his daughter!
He simply replied, “You don’t really think your sister is generous, do you?”
Yu Xunhuan fell silent immediately. In the past, they had to go through hoops to scheme for Yu Xunge’s money; a dragon? Unless they killed Yu Xunge, but even then, he couldn’t possibly defeat a level 14 dragon.
He had been asking Yu Xunge in private messages how she got the dragon, hoping for a lucky break or a fortuitous encounter. When he asked for the third time, Yu Xunge replied, “Maybe I’m just the legendary lucky charm.”
That left Yu Xunhuan speechless.
As soon as Yu Xunhuan walked in this morning, Yu Xunge noticed his trust level had dropped to 83. No need to ask; it was definitely because she hadn’t told him how she got the dragon yesterday.
But Yu Xunge didn’t mind; 83 was fine as long as it was usable.
The four of them chatted about the dragon for a while on the first floor, but Yu Xunge grew impatient with all the questions and asked if they wanted to go play in the rooftop dungeon. The morning was hers, and they could grind whenever they wanted.
Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong had long wanted to see the self-service vending machines that Yu Xunge was known for, so they set down their teacups and headed upstairs.
Feeling bored, Tulang flew off Yu Xunge’s shoulder and went downstairs to continue playing games and snacking.
Tulang acted this way because after Yu Xunge brought her home yesterday, she had seriously told her that this would be her home from now on, and she could do whatever she wanted—she was the little master of the house.
Tulang could sense that Yu Xunge meant what she said, so now she felt free to do as she pleased.
But to Yu Xunhuan and the others, this behavior indicated that the dragon wouldn’t completely obey Yu Xunge.
Yu Xunge pretended not to notice the looks exchanged among them as she led them to the ten self-service vending machines on the top floor. She busily restocked them, and the advantage of her place over the auction house was that she had a wider variety of rare items at reasonable prices, comparable to the Ze Lan Star auction house.
Most people from the Special Affairs Bureau had been to Ze Lan Star and understood the value of goods.
Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan fiddled with the vending machine that Zhao Shuying had placed there for a while, bought a few items, and when they saw Yu Xunge’s goods, Su Yitong directly asked, “Are you taking orders?”
Yu Xunge replied, “Of course! What do you want?”
Most of the items she had listed were niche and complex, specifically chosen for her to practice her skills in alchemy, engineering, and cooking. If someone was willing to pay for her to practice, why wouldn’t she accept?
She pulled out a booklet and a custom order form from the side of the vending machine and handed them to Su Yitong.
“This lists everything I can currently craft or find connections to buy. It includes prices, delivery times, and maximum purchase quantities. Just fill in what you want and how many, put it in the basket, and if I can fulfill it, I’ll email you. Then you can send me a deposit, and I’ll ship the items along with my reply.”
As she spoke, Yu Xunge pointed to a basket hanging under the chandelier by the door, filled with dozens of folded papers. “That’s how everyone who comes here places their orders.”
Su Yitong glanced at the nearly overflowing basket and sighed inwardly, regretting not having tied Yu Xunge to her ship before the game invasion…
She hadn’t taken Yu Xunge seriously back then, and perhaps that attitude had pushed her away.
Thinking back to when Yu Xunge participated in the second game beta test, she not only informed Yu Xunhuan about it but also invited her, wanting to share that news with her…
Su Yitong truly regretted it.
In the past, she had ignored Yu Xunge, but now she found herself needing her attention.
What a tragic pursuit of a sister.
Although she and Yu Xunhuan would privately call Yu Xunge stingy and selfish, not caring about the bigger picture or her family, they both knew deep down that when it came to significant matters, Yu Xunge would always think of her family and protect them. After all, when Yu Xunhuan offended the Lin family, didn’t Yu Xunge step in to help him?
That kind of person who constantly subsidizes their brother, practically sleeping under his bed, is what they call a “brother-supporting demon.” But Yu Xunge, who rarely showed up but shone brightly at critical moments, should be called “sister”!
The more Su Yitong thought about it, the more regretful she felt.
Well, even if she couldn’t get the dragon for now, if something happened to the Su family, she should be able to call on Yu Xunge for help.
With that thought, Su Yitong hoped that the dragon would listen to Yu Xunge a little more.
After spending the morning at Yu Xunge’s place, the four of them left.
As soon as they were gone, Yu Xunge prepared to go back to sleep. She was utterly exhausted after battling with Tulang for a full eight hours, unable to relax for even a moment. Even when Tulang started making mistakes and losing focus, she couldn’t afford to let her guard down.
The consequences of Tulang losing focus were merely a scratch from her, but for her, it could mean death at the dragon’s jaws.
If it hadn’t been for Tulang insisting on taking breaks for meals, she wouldn’t have made it through.
But before sleeping, she disguised herself as a goblin and went to the Ze Lan Star restaurant to buy a dish for 10 gold coins. She also crafted three gold coins worth of food for the day, dividing it between the dragon and the cats in the backyard. After that, Yu Xunge didn’t even touch the cat bed; she simply washed up and collapsed onto her bed.
She slept straight through until the next day.
When she woke up, Yu Xunge felt a bit dazed. After extreme fatigue followed by a full night’s sleep, she felt both comfortable and exhausted. She didn’t rush to get up but instead opened the game system.
A day and night had passed, and she was surprised to still see her name in the chat channel.
Yu Xunge browsed the game forum for a while but didn’t find any useful information, so she closed it.
She had a lot to do today. She needed to prepare a large quantity of food because starting today, she would be raising a dragon.
In addition, she had classes at Ze Lan Star, training camp sessions, and alchemy and cooking practice to attend to…
Even though Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong were in a dire situation because of her, she didn’t dare to slow down; getting stronger had become her habit.
As she stepped out, she asked Tulang if she wanted to go play at Ze Lan Star, but Tulang, engrossed in her game, waved her wings and said she would stay behind to guard the house.
Yu Xunge didn’t press the issue; having someone to watch over the place was great, and she wasn’t worried about anyone coming to slay the dragon while she was away.
Not to mention that the current players needed a significant number of people to slay a dragon. Even if the dragon were in danger, she could sense its status through their contract and could summon Tulang back to the pet space at any time.
Not to mention that this dragon had its own teleportation and survival skills.
With an SS-level skill like the **Frozen Throne**, combined with its terrifying attributes, even if this dragon’s combat awareness wasn’t strong, it wouldn’t be easily killed. She had fought for eight hours with all her cooking potions and S-level skills, and it had taken everything she had to wear it down.
After leaving the dragon at the villa, she confidently used her disguise skill to head to Ze Lan Star.
It wasn’t that she was particularly passionate about alchemy; she just hadn’t seen Heqipa in a long time and wanted to chat with her… talk about literature… discuss books… and the sun of Ze Lan Star…
As she crawled under the bed, she felt like she had forgotten something important… Hadn’t she promised to do something after finishing the dragon fight?
**Chapter 133: Little Maki, do you know how the sun of Ze Lan was born?**
Considering that Heqipa might be overwhelmed with conversation, before leaving, Yu Xunge took all the drinks, cigarettes, and snacks from home, many of which were rare items she had specially posted about and had people buy from all over the world.
For this, Tulang had caused a scene, and Yu Xunge had to buy half the store’s stock of drinks and snacks in front of her. The store would pack it up and send it directly to Yu Xunge through the game, and when the time came, she would notify Tulang, who could come to pick it up anytime.
When she walked into the alchemy shop, Heqipa was just as she remembered, standing in the corner in a long robe embroidered with magical patterns, brewing potions.
