Chapter 4 - Danger and Opportunity

When Su Ce heard his sister's question, his expression became conflicted.

He knew that his sister had always been concerned about his academic performance, be it the usual practical tests or theoretical tests.

She had always been very concerned about his awakening.

But the class he had awakened was Dragon Tamer. It was a class with a very high entry threshold. Not to mention their current conditions, even the bosses of famous corporations in Bo'an City might not be able to nurture a Dragon Tamer with their net worth of tens of millions or even more than a hundred million dollars.

Su Ce didn't want to lie to his sister, who had always been with him, but he was worried that she would be sad after hearing the truth.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he took a deep breath and finally told his sister the truth. "The class I awakened is… Dragon Tamer."

Then he lowered his head and took a bite of rice.

As soon as he finished speaking, his sister's expectant expression froze on the spot. At the same time, the atmosphere in the living room darkened.

Su Ce didn't dare to look up, afraid that he would see his sister's disappointed eyes.

But what awaited him wasn't his sister's dejected complaints but gentle comfort. "Umm… The Dragon Tamer class is quite good. At least you won't have to adventure all day like combat classes and face those ferocious monsters."

Su Lan smiled gently and continued, "There's nothing good about combat classes. It's too dangerous. Didn't Dad and Mom go missing because they explored a mystic realm back then?"

Hearing his sister's comforting words, Su Ce felt very warm.

Outside, he needed to be vigilant at all times. At the same time, he needed to be strong. But at home, he only needed to be a little brother at ease.

All difficulties and storms had his sister to block.

This feeling of having someone to rely on had healed the negative emotions in his heart more than once.

"Alright, have a piece of braised fish. This fish was very troublesome to handle. I hope it suits your taste."

Looking at the piece of fish in his bowl, Su Ce immediately revealed a helpless smile. "Sis, I'm not a child anymore. Why do you have to add food to my bowl all the time?"

Facing her brother's resistance, Su Lan glared at him and then said with a serious expression, "Rest for two days first. After that, learn sewing skills from me.

"Although you don't have the experience of inheriting the sewing class and will learn slower, with your talent, you should be able to learn it without that."

Listening to his sister's suggestion, Su Ce bit his chopsticks and began to think. "Sewing? Wouldn't it be bad for a man to learn this?"

Before he could finish speaking, his sister, who was sitting opposite him, angrily slapped the back of his hand with her chopsticks.

"Ow! Sis, why did you hit me?!" Su Ce's face was full of innocence.

"It's already good enough that you have the chance to learn, yet you're still so picky!"

At the dining table, the siblings chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very jovial.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Su Lan ended her chat with her brother because she needed to do a rush job for a customer's leather armor.

Su Ce looked at his sister sitting in front of the workbench, relying on the light of the table lamp to sew the leather armor seriously, and felt very uncomfortable.

Su Lan looked sideways at Su Ce, who was standing at the door in a daze, and joked, "My good brother, don't look at me. Help me close the door."

After giving a gentlemanly bow, Su Ce imitated his sister's tone. "No problem, my beloved sister."

He closed the door and returned to his room.

Looking at the familiar room that contained many memories, Su Ce sat at his desk in satisfaction.

Looking at the stacks of books on the table that he was already very familiar with, Su Ce wondered if he should pick one out tonight and review it.

But just as he was about to choose a book, a somewhat ethereal mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Prompt: The Eye of the Dragon God has activated. A contractible dragon-type creature has been discovered 140 meters below sea level at 133.27° east longitude, 23.09° north latitude!]

The system interface popped up in front of him, and Su Ce could clearly see the coordinates.

But when he saw that the location was in the high-level area of the mine in the western suburbs, he was shocked. There's actually a dragon-type creature in the western suburbs mine!

In order to confirm whether the location was correct, Su Ce immediately took out his phone and found a map of Bo'an City.

After careful comparison, he confirmed that the coordinates given by the system were in the high-level area of the western suburbs mine.

This area was also the place where the dean had instructed him not to go this afternoon.

Taking out the blue admission card, Su Ce couldn't help struggling in his heart.

There were definitely monsters above Level 10 in the high-level area of the western suburbs mine.

With his current ability, if he really encountered a monster above Level 10, the probability of defeating it was pitifully small.

After successfully awakening, he was only Level 1, and his attributes were pitifully low.

Moreover, unlike other classes, Su Ce didn't have any combat skills at the beginning nor a certain level of combat ability in the early stages.

Other than the three talents, Dragon Tamers didn't have any active skills usable in battle.

In other words, other than his basic attributes being slightly higher than ordinary people's, he had no other means of fighting!

He knew that if he really wanted to enter the dangerous area, with his ability, there was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to come out if he encountered a monster.

But the existence of the dragon was constantly tugging at his nerves.

If he couldn't contract a dragon, his class would never be of any use.

Danger and opportunity were the two paths in front of Su Ce.

Should he really give up on his identity as a combat class and stay by his sister's side to learn sewing?

Or should he be fearless of danger and go to the high-level area to find the dragon?

Perhaps he already had an answer in his heart.

Su Ce opened his character window and silently stared at the data that appeared in front of him.

Name: Su Ce

Class: Dragon Tamer

Level: 1, Experience 0/100, Rank 0

Attack: 15

Defense: Physical Resistance 8, Magic Resistance 5

Health Points: 250

Mana Points: 150

Attributes: Strength 10, Agility 6, Spirit 5, Constitution 15

Equipment: None

Talents: Dragon God Affinity, Eye of the Dragon God, Dragon God's Blessing

Active Skills: None

Passive Skills: None

After closing the system interface, Su Ce began to think.

His only advantage now was his three top-level talents. But they were all related to dragons. Without a contracted dragon, they couldn't provide him with any advantage.

And without any combat skills, if he encountered a monster, the only way was to fight it head-on!

Clenching his fists tightly, Su Ce looked out the window with determination written all over his face. It seems that tomorrow's trip to the western suburbs will be a critical moment that determines my future.
