Chương 234: Reborn as the Dragon — Chapter 234 - Pioneering Players (1)

Looking at the wriggling centipede. Imagining it burrowing through his ear canal. Pain aside, the thought alone made Medraco's skin crawl.

"No! Wait!"

"I already surrendered!"

"I'll share intelligence with you, I'll help you make firearms, please just spare me!"

"And you—you're a Brass Dragon! Good alignment! How is what you're doing any different from that evil Black Dragon?!" Rolls-Royce just grinned at Medraco's hysterical screaming.

"Little snack~ You're my enemy. Against enemies, there is no good or evil. Punishing you is good for my alignment. Sparing you would be evil!" He stuffed the centipede into Medraco's ear as he spoke.

"Besides, I'm only doing this to get you talking more. See? You're saying way more than yesterday."

"That's perfect... hehehe..."

"Now, keep answering my questions!" A night passed. Su Nian had no idea what torment Medraco had endured. He was busy collecting nectar. For a dragon, collecting nectar was an elegant pursuit. Few dragons shared his fondness for it. Dragons were dragons, not bees, after all. And compared to water, nectar's yield was small. Nowhere near enough to quench his thirst. But he savored it anyway. The entire Dark Dungeon was obsidian. Only that one flower existed.

Besides, the nectar tasted sweet and helped his dragon heart recover. Collecting it daily, bit by bit, would save him system points later when he needed to restore it. The flower was delicate, though. He was careful every time. He didn't dare touch the stamens with his tongue, only fed near the petals. Compared to diligent bees, his technique was clumsy. No matter. He had time. Anyone who raises chickens knows not to kill them for a single meal. Su Nian, raising a flower, understood not to drain the pond dry.

Refreshed after tasting the nectar, Su Nian flew to the Black Prison of Pain. He'd barely taken two steps before he spotted the enthusiastic Brass Dragon Rolls-Royce and Medraco, whose nerves were clearly on the verge of collapse. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work. Medraco looked utterly wrecked. His face twisted in agony. Pus and blood leaked from both ears, insect antennae swaying at the canal entrances. His eyeballs were ruined.

A centipede as thick as a pinky finger poked its head from the mangled socket, looking leisurely.

"What are you doing?" The disgusting sight didn't faze Su Nian much. As a cruel, black-hearted Black Dragon, his bloodline carried natural immunity to such scenes. Even worse wouldn't shake him.

"Boss, I'm chatting with this human. We're almost done, though. He agreed to share human intelligence with us going forward and help us make those strange weapons."

"He even happily said he'd dig up the production materials himself from the mines. He already knows where a mineral vein is."

"Oh?" Su Nian was surprised. Moved, even. He truly hadn't expected this. After kicking Rolls-Royce, not only did the dragon hold no grudge, he worked diligently. Staying up all night talking with a client. Even closing a deal happily.

"Rolls-Royce, you're doing great!" Su Nian crawled to Rolls-Royce's side, patting the Brass Dragon's shoulder with his sharp claw. It had been ages since he'd used this gesture to encourage a subordinate. Mainly because with his current size and strength, a casual swipe would leave anyone, Polikli or the Rock Helmet Crocodile leader Rekton, utterly dismembered.

"Our Dark Dungeon has always upheld service first, striving to provide the highest level of service to every guest and make them feel at home!"

"You've done excellent work in this regard."

"Just look at this human. See how happy he is." Su Nian turned his head, looking at the other monsters gathered around, and lectured them loudly:"This teaches us something."

"As long as we monsters improve our service quality, our guests will trade with us. Even become our friends!" The monsters had limited knowledge and culture. They didn't quite understand, but they knew how to copy. The boss meant Third Boss Rolls-Royce did great. Follow his example. Looking at the enlightened eyes of the surrounding monsters, Su Nian was pleased. They were his little brothers, all right. Sharp minds, every one. They understood everything with just a hint.

"Rolls-Royce, have this guest record the mineral vein's location. Then take him to the foundry and have him help us make those long-range firearms." After giving instructions, Su Nian left. He still needed to take the Lightning Archmage Salister to the crime scene, put her mind at ease so she'd follow him. Mainly, he hoped Salister could help Anna learn more magic. Anna's magical talent was reflected mainly in elemental magic. If not properly utilized, the talent would be wasted....

At that moment, at the Silvermoon Forest coast. A group of fully armed Korean players approached the Black Dragon Outpost and successfully triggered the dungeon mechanism. A twisted black hole gate unfolded at the outpost entrance.

"This... when did this building appear! I remember it wasn't here a few days ago when I was catching Blaze Rabbits nearby..." Korean Player A stared blankly at the tall, majestic building before him. He knew this was a Western fantasy world, but seeing a building rise from the ground in just days still filled him with awe.

"Look, the map says [Black Dragon Outpost]. The description says this is the first line of defense for attacking the Dark Lord's dungeon. Only by passing the Black Dragon Outpost's trial can you continue toward the dungeon, slay powerful monsters, and obtain top-tier equipment!" Korean Player B looked excited. Korea was prolific in role-playing online games. Growing up surrounded by them, he knew at a glance what this [Black Dragon Outpost] was. Clearly a dungeon.

Originally, seeing the system prompt, he'd been skeptical. Now he had no doubts.

"This world's becoming more and more like a game. I often can't tell if this is the real world or a game..." Korean Player B murmured.

"You know, the day before yesterday, I killed a pregnant Shining Deer. When it died, it shed tears at me. Its hoof, caught in the trap, was still protecting the fawn in its belly." He shook his head with a sigh.

"Ah, don't think so much. Anyway, to this world, we're invaders. Since we're invaders, we should act like invaders."

"Besides, the more this world's like a game, the better. That way we don't have to carry any psychological burden, right?" Korean Player A patted Player B's shoulder, comforting him softly.

"Cheer up. We're the captain and vice-captain. We need to set a good example for the brothers. The most important thing now is conquering this dungeon!" ➤ Next: Pioneering Players (2)
