Chương 226: Reborn as the Dragon — Chapter 226 - Black Dragon Outpost (3)

Open the Platinum Treasure Chest? Li Chen blinked, a little stunned. Then he wondered if monsters were interested in what was inside treasure chests too. Or maybe the things inside treasure chests could also be used by monsters. They just didn't have the ability to open them? That was very important intelligence.

"Great Black Dragon, I don't have the ability to open a Platinum Treasure Chest, I..." Li Chen was planning to drag things out a little longer, but the Black Dragon in front of him rudely cut him off.

"Lowly insect. My patience is limited. You have the ability to open treasure chests. I already know that. Don't spout any more nonsense!" The Black Dragon roared. Black smoke billowed, and Dragon Flame was already building in its maw. Even from this distance, Li Chen could still feel the searing heat.

"Alright, great dragon. But if you want me to help you open the chest, then afterward you can't kill me in any form!" Li Chen had already made up his mind. Player equipment could all be dismantled. If this dragon didn't kill him, then after he opened the chest, he'd go down and collect all the equipment dropped by these players, then dismantle it all. That way, this trip wouldn't be a loss.

"Agreed. The great dragon grants your request." Su Nian answered very readily, without the slightest hesitation. But Li Chen wasn't stupid either. Dragonkind, especially the Five Chromatic Dragons, were all vicious and cunning to the extreme. Black Dragons in particular. It was said that Black Dragon depravity went bone-deep. They could even backstab their own teammates.

"Great dragon, you must swear by your bloodline and by the god you believe in that after the chest is opened, you will not harm me in any way!" Li Chen said with a serious expression, refusing to yield.

"Fine, no problem. I can even sign a contract with you~" The Black Dragon was very straightforward. It immediately used its bloodline power to draft up a contract. Mysterious rows of black Dragon Speech appeared before Li Chen. His system's built-in translation function helped him decipher the information in those dragon words. Surprisingly, there were no tricks or traps. The contents of this Black Dragon's contract were completely clean.

If not for the evil aura on the Black Dragon and that big black face, Li Chen would have even thought he was signing a contract with a Metallic Dragon. Strange. Very strange... Li Chen didn't understand it at all, but since the Black Dragon was being so forthright, he didn't hesitate either. He bit his finger and signed his name at the very bottom of the contract. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

The guarantor on this contract was Tiamat, the Five-Colored Dragon Mother. Although she was the god of evil dragons, she still had a decent sense of contractual integrity. Li Chen felt very reassured. The contract was formed to the faint sound of dragon roars, then turned into black smoke and scattered. Li Chen let out a breath and didn't dawdle. He directly exchanged for a Platinum key from the System Store. As long as he helped the Black Dragon open the chest, that would be the end of it.

However, the very moment he took out the Platinum key— A chilling killing intent suddenly surged from behind him. Li Chen went cold all over. Damn it!

"Damn you, shameless Black Dragon, you cheated! You tricked me!" Li Chen let out an unwilling roar. That sound was no less tragic than a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered for New Year's.

"Heh heh heh..." Su Nian grinned viciously. With a boom, the dragon claw slammed savagely into the cliff face in front of him. The force was so great, the movement so fast, that it instantly shattered a huge stretch of cliff. Broken rocks shot through the air. Dust and debris rose everywhere. It was like finding a cockroach in the kitchen. Maybe you didn't need much force to step on it and kill it. But you just had to use all your strength.

After crushing the human player to death, the Platinum key and the chest were also knocked flying. But with the help of the System, Su Nian found both of them in no time. [You have come into contact with a Huaxia player. Reading Huaxia player data...] [Current faction traits of Huaxia players: Ancient Martial Physique, Efficient Infrastructure, Food Above All]"Oh, not bad." Su Nian had expected as much. After all, the players' world was a parallel world to the one he came from in his previous life.

There would definitely be a lot of similarities to Huaxia. Just like how many things about the Sakura players were similar to the Japanese from his previous life. Understanding the innate abilities of each country in advance was extremely important. It affected how long he could keep lying low in the future, and how he should lie low. When picking persimmons, you always pick the soft ones.

Clearly, compared to those husky-like Sakura players, Huaxia players had much stronger abilities, and they were also very suitable for development.

"Maybe in the future, I can specifically catch some Huaxia players to cook for the dragon nest?" Su Nian had a sudden thought. Kobolds could cook, but only in the most basic sense. If you wanted them to come up with variety and make the dishes more refined, that was still asking a bit too much of dogs. Those things were still far off. Su Nian decided to focus on the present first, starting with inserting the Platinum key into the lock of the Platinum Treasure Chest. Click. The Platinum Treasure Chest opened.

[Congratulations, host. You have opened a Platinum Treasure Chest and obtained a fortification blueprint: Black Dragon Outpost, a hidden profession Dragon Knight job-change scroll, a Town Establishment Token (automatically converted into a Building Upgrade Scroll), and a pair of Master-grade Spatial Rings] [Rewards distributed] Looking at the purple glow packed inside the Platinum Treasure Chest, Su Nian was overjoyed. He started examining each reward carefully with Insight.

[Black Dragon Outpost] Fortification building: constructed outside the dungeon. Possesses the rule-based ability "Sole Passage." After the Black Dragon Outpost is established, enemies must attack and destroy the Black Dragon Outpost before they can continue their assault on the dungeon. Enemies cannot bypass the Black Dragon Outpost. The outpost can be upgraded. The rule's effective range for a level one Black Dragon Outpost is a radius of 3 kilometers.

[Hidden Profession: Dragon Knight] In ancient legends, there was a group of people who were different from birth. They could hear dragon roars in wind and rain. They could learn Dragon Speech in their dreams. They could grasp dragon techniques in the midst of life and death. Once they reached adulthood, these people would often hear the shriek of giant dragons. That was the call of true dragons. If they never encountered a dragon in their entire lives, at most they would become powerful warriors.

But if one day they found the dragon that belonged to them, they would become the legendary profession, Dragon Knight. Dragon Knight: when fighting side by side with a dragon, all physical attributes increase by 20 percent, and one can learn a series of support skills that enhance dragons through dreams. The first generation of Dragon Knights, the Conquering Emperor, Sivi Goldenlion, once said: "Dragons create Dragon Knights, and Dragon Knights will also forge the glory of dragons."

[Building Upgrade Scroll] Can be used to upgrade any ordinary building other than the main city, removing prerequisite conditions, but the materials for the upgrade must be provided by the user. [Master-grade Spatial Ring] The premium tier among spatial rings. Although it only has 10 cubic meters of space, the space inside is extremely stable, the risk of item loss is guaranteed to be low, and time inside the ring is completely frozen. Its preservation ability is extremely strong.

Note: Do not place living creatures inside the spatial ring. Otherwise, the consequences are yours alone to bear. ➤ Next: Black Dragon Outpost (4)
