Chapter 324
**Chapter 420: As Long as You Are My Dragon...**
The announcement from Zai Jiu mentioned her, perhaps only because she had signed an equal contract with Yu Xun Ge, and she had previously logged into the Zai Jiu server.
Yu Xun Ge looked at the six golden withered leaves and three Nightmare treasure chests floating in front of her. She reached out to pick up one of the golden leaves.
**[Golden Tree Withered Leaf]: A leaf from the Golden Tree that has dried up due to the loss of most of its energy. Using it will bring about a small miracle.**
Without hesitation, Yu Xun Ge divided three leaves among the eagerly watching Tu Lan. "One for each of us."
Tu Lan's eyes widened in surprise and shock as she accepted the three leaves. After a moment of silence, she said, "I know about this... Li Zhou mentioned it before. It's really good. Actually, you can keep two... one is enough. Li Zhou said that's how everyone divides it."
From the settlement, it was clear that Yu Xun Ge was the main contributor, while the pets were merely accessories.
The Golden Tree Withered Leaves floated before Yu Xun Ge, and only the beings of Zai Jiu would undergo the evolution of their entire race; Tu Lan was not included.
The rewards that pets received for defeating other players on the world battlefield were already a form of blessing.
Moreover, even if the Dragon race was not the one Yu Xun Ge had chosen, as her contracted pet, Tu Lan could still benefit from it.
Not to mention, the Dragon race was already a race favored by the gods.
The earliest Dragon ancestors were beings created by the gods themselves. With their long lifespans, they had witnessed the birth and fall of two worlds. They didn't need to enter the world battlefield to grow stronger with age.
In other words, the Dragon race did not have a world of their own; they were like trees without roots. Even if they wanted to enter the world battlefield for the sake of their evolution, they had no right to do so.
Yu Xun Ge shook her head, "According to contribution, we should split this evenly. Thanks to your driving skills, we deserve a 50-50 split."
She understood that the Golden Tree Withered Leaves were the real prize, far more precious than the Nightmare treasure chests.
But she wasn't the type to say nice things while others suffered for her, only to act oblivious when it came time to share the spoils after they had fought side by side.
She thought this and said it aloud, looking into Tu Lan's eyes with sincerity. "I may never be able to give you my full trust. It's not your fault, nor mine. But as long as you are my dragon, Tu Lan, I will never betray or overlook your efforts."
Tu Lan stared at Yu Xun Ge, momentarily speechless. "What about your determination? You said you wanted to grow stronger, to gain power. This is it."
As she spoke, she anxiously held the three Golden Tree Withered Leaves up to Yu Xun Ge, as if trying to make her see their significance. "This is it!"
Yu Xun Ge gently pushed the leaves into Tu Lan's arms, her fingers brushing over the droplet-shaped white gem atop Tu Lan's head. "You are too."
In that moment, Tu Lan suddenly understood why, whenever she expressed how important Yu Xun Ge was to her, Yu Xun Ge would become flustered and speechless.
At that moment, Tu Lan felt as if her limbs and wings had become weightless.
She cradled the three Golden Tree Withered Leaves in her arms like rare treasures, letting out a soft "Oh" as a silly smile spread across her face.
Yu Xun Ge handed Tu Lan a Nightmare treasure chest. "One for you, two for me. Is that okay?"
Still grinning, Tu Lan replied, "Sure, whatever you say! I want to go back to Dragon Island and tell the Holy Grail about my gains. Is that alright?"
"Of course."
Tu Lan hugged the treasure chest and the Golden Tree Withered Leaves, using her cat-like head to teleport home.
Yu Xun Ge didn't rush to use the Golden Tree Withered Leaves or the treasure chest. She stored them away and walked to the mirror to look at her right eye.
To her surprise, her right eye had turned blood red.
She blinked, noticing nothing unusual. But when she took out the Irritable Moon and brought her right eye close to the lantern to examine the moon trapped in the moon sand, the moon that had been shining brightly recently suddenly extinguished.
Yu Xun Ge: ???
What’s got it riled up again?!
She had only spent 12 hours in **[Run Run Kart]**, but had consumed a staggering 535 points of her essence, leaving her with just 12,241 points. If she hadn’t spent three hundred years in the tower before, she wouldn’t have enough essence to spare.
She looked at the moon sand in the lantern, hesitated for a moment, and decided to replenish some essence, boosting it back up to 15,000 while keeping two-thirds of the moon sand as a reserve.
After checking her game panel again, she found no changes related to moonlight.
However, the experience rewards she gained from the world battlefield had leveled her up to level 85, and she noticed that her personal panel now indicated that her **[Human Race]** was **[Evolving]**.
It seemed that the rewards from the Golden Tree Withered Leaves and the treasure chest did not conflict with this life-level evolution.
As she wrapped a healing bandage around her right eye, the evolution was completed.
**[Player's Maximum Base Attributes +1%]**
**[Player's All Advanced Attributes +1%]**
**[Human Lifespan Limit +10 Years]**
**[All Players Can Allocate +10 Attribute Points]**
**[Player Yu Xun Ge has received the blessing of Zai Jiu, doubling all evolution rewards]**
Yu Xun Ge looked at her agility, which had indeed increased by 35, the decimal point rounded off completely...
She allocated the 20 attribute points she had just received to her currently lowest attribute, intelligence, bringing it back above 200.
At that moment, chaos erupted outside.
Her phone and private messages were buzzing incessantly, as if they wouldn’t stop until she answered.
Yu Xun Ge had no choice but to push the Golden Tree Withered Leaves and the Nightmare treasure chest aside again. She glanced at the lit-up phone screen; it was Zhao Shuying.
She opened the game chat interface directly.
**[Zhao Shuying]: Sis, are you there?**
**[Zhao Shuying]: Sis, it’s your little Zhao! Don’t you remember? The one who fought alongside you in the tower.**
**[Zhao Shuying]: Are you there? Sis? Just asking, is it convenient for me to drop by?**
**[Zhao Shuying]: If it’s not convenient, that’s fine too. Little Zhao is always at your service.**
**[Zhao Shuying]: It’s just a pity about the New Year gift I was supposed to bring you from Ding Hai.**
**[Zhao Shuying]: 555 gold coin gift pack, a piece of purple gear boots, a cauldron developed by the research department, and 50 various skill crystals.**
**[Zhao Shuying]: These things, I can’t find their owner anymore. Sigh.**
Yu Xun Ge: “………………”
**[Yu Xun Ge]: I remember we celebrated the New Year in February.**
**[Zhao Shuying]: Just a belated New Year greeting.**
Yu Xun Ge couldn’t help but admire Zhao Shuying. She knew that if she didn’t give a clear answer, Ding Hai wouldn’t let it go.
She stepped outside the villa, walked through the lightning barrier, and opened the outer iron gate.
**[Yu Xun Ge]: I’ve opened the door.**
In less than two seconds, a portal opened outside her villa, and Zhao Shuying stepped out, carrying a large bag of goodies. The most alarming part was a long string of small boxes that looked like firecrackers.
Haha, Ding Hai wouldn’t have wrapped each skill crystal, would he...
Behind the portal, she could vaguely see several of Ding Hai’s colleagues, rubbing their hands together with expressions like they had just hit the jackpot.
Yu Xun Ge parted the lightning barrier to let her in.
She poured Zhao Shuying a cup of coffee and said frankly, “I won’t say anything about this. If you want to know something, go investigate it yourself. Even if we went there, we wouldn’t be able to team up. Like I said, I can’t guarantee my own safety. It’s tough for both me and Tu Lan to survive in there.”
With her current strength, she didn’t need to make any excuses. If she said no, no one could force her to say yes.
And what she said was from the heart.
With her essence, she could use all skills without restriction, and these skills were greatly enhanced by her essence.
She possessed several top-tier talents: **[Midnight Exile]**, **[One-Person Party]**, **[Sharpshooter]**, and talents like **[God of Food]** and **[Immortal]** that could play crucial roles alongside **[Sharpshooter]**.
Her agility was nearing two thousand, and the other three main attributes had also surpassed 200.
She still had three two-star keys with skills to enter the world battlefield!
Thanks to her orange-red wings, she had flying capabilities, and with Tu Lan’s help, she could speak over six hundred languages of various races.
Under all these conditions, she was still struggling. This success was entirely because the game happened to suit her and Tu Lan.
Otherwise, it would have been a miracle for her to survive until the end.
Now, any player entering Zai Jiu would be nothing but easy prey.
