Ye Xuan carefully observed the skill of Affinity with Beasts and discovered that this skill could not only be used on magical beasts but also greatly enhance the skills of the Beast Control Master himself.
"I don't know how powerful this skill is exactly, so I might as well try it on this dragon egg; let's see if the Dragon Control Technique can succeed."
Ye Xuan made up his mind, immediately opened the system space, and took out the dragon egg.
The dragon egg was about the size of a basketball.
The entire eggshell was fiery red, with some peculiar patterns on it, emitting a faint golden hue.
The whole dragon egg was scorching hot, not just affecting Ye Xuan himself, but the entire room felt its temperature.
The air became somewhat sultry.
The most crucial part was...
Ye Xuan discovered that he could even feel this dragon egg breathing rhythmically.
"Ready to start..."
Ye Xuan kept his spirit highly concentrated.
Then he focused all his attention entirely on the dragon egg, and silently chanted in his mind:
Dragon Control Technique!
"Sorry, failed to tame the target!"
"Sorry, failed to tame the target!"
"Sorry, failed to tame the target!"
"Sorry, failed to tame the target!"
…
"How could it be?"
Ye Xuan was simply dumbfounded. He had almost exhausted his spiritual power but still couldn't tame the dragon egg.
This success rate...
It's utterly maddening.
The thing that angered Ye the most was that he suddenly realized the little dragon inside the dragon egg seemed to be angry!
This little guy seemed to have emotions.
He could even vaguely hear the little guy seemingly saying: I want Fire God jade marrow, I want Fire God jade marrow... I want to eat Fire God jade marrow!
Is this actually a little foodie?
He needed to use Fire God jade marrow to bribe it to tame it?
This made Ye Xuan feel troubled.
Before, when there was no dragon, he was worried about owning a dragon.
Now that he had a dragon egg, he encountered such a foodie?
Fire God jade marrow is a super precious treasure, even a small piece is invaluable.
Ye Xuan estimated that even if he sold himself, he couldn't afford to supply this little guy.
Ding!
As Ye Fan was feeling troubled, the prompt from the Invincible Beast-Taming System finally came again.
[Newbie task issued!]
[Newbie task Phase 1: Go to the Netherworld Forest and kill fifty Netherworld Spirit Cats.]
[Reward: One piece of Fire God jade marrow; 20 attribute points!]
[Failure: No penalty for now.]
[Time limit: Three days.]
[Please don't be lazy, host, and complete the task as soon as possible!]
…
The system is awesome!
Ye Xuan was overjoyed when he saw the system task.
It's really like finding a pillow when you want to sleep!
When he was worried about the Fire God jade marrow, the system thoughtfully prepared it for him.
However, now was not the time to be happy.
After all, this newbie task wasn't that easy either; killing fifty Netherworld Spirit Cats?
With his current ability, this task was also very challenging for him.
Netherworld Forest.
Located in the eastern outskirts of Cloud City.
This forest was formed when a powerful creature died during the world's catastrophic event, and its energy explosion long deterred anyone from entering this area.
Later, it developed into a forest with numerous magical beasts and monsters, and also countless precious materials.
It's a popular area for countless adventurers to explore and hunt for treasures!
Some people go on adventures and look for treasures, while others buy these treasures.
This gave rise to the Adventurer's Guild.
In the Adventurer's Guild, wealthy patrons post tasks, and many adventurers complete the tasks to earn a lot of rewards.
The rewards include money, as well as various items or equipment.
The Adventurer's Guild is an essential institution in every country.
Not only does it improve adventurers' earning efficiency, but most importantly, when adventurers kill monsters in the wild, it indirectly helps to prevent beasts from attacking cities.
This can be considered a contribution to the country!
"The Netherworld Forest may be dangerous; but to tame this dragon egg, I'm going all out!"
Ye Xuan stomped his foot and made the decision.
The Fire God jade marrow is the key to taming this dragon egg!
If he were to earn money on his own to buy it, wouldn't that take forever?
There's less than a month left before the college entrance examination.
There's no time to waste.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan immediately began preparing.
In his hands, he had a set of basic white-grade armor and a level 10 white-grade weapon, which were all basic equipment provided by the academy.
After preparing his equipment, he left a note for the dean and left the orphanage.
However, he didn't go directly to the forest but went to the Adventurer's Guild first.
Although it was already past 3 AM, the Adventurer's Guild was still bustling with activity.
No choice.
The refresh times for the magical beasts in the wild, in the overlapping reality of the Lingyu game, are mostly fixed.
The same is true for those rare treasures.
To find such treasures, one not only needs luck but must also act at the right time.
For adventurers, these are the keys to getting rich quickly and taking off.
They cannot afford not to compete fiercely with each other.
Even to the extent that accepting tasks from the Adventurer's Guild is not easy!
Especially some of the relatively easy tasks, there is always a scramble to take them on.
In contrast, only the relatively difficult tasks have fewer people taking them on.
After all, difficult tasks are not only dangerous, but the most crucial thing is that if they fail, they also have to compensate.
4 AM.
The tasks weren't released yet, but a large number of adventurers were waiting in line there, intending to grab the tasks as soon as they were out.
Ye Xuan discovered that among these adventurers, there were even many students.
"Oh? Isn't that Ye Xuan?"
Soon.
In the crowd, someone recognized Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan turned his head in the direction of the voice and found that it was actually three classmates.
Wang Feng! Zhang Qing! Tang Rou!
Two boys and one girl.
"Are you here to get a task too?"
Wang Feng usually had the look of a little delinquent. Now that he had transferred to being a warrior, he seemed slightly out of sync with his usual demeanor.
Zhang Qing was a very scholarly boy.
He wore glasses, looked gentle and refined, and now he had successfully become a Mage.
Tang Rou was a very graceful and lovely girl, and anyone who saw her couldn't help but want to be tender to her.
She was a Priest.
Warrior, Mage, Priest.
One is responsible for tanking damage, another for long-range attacks, and the last to help heal teammates.
The most basic configuration of an adventure team.
"Yes, I came to take a task, I'm out of pocket money!"
As for the system thing, he naturally wouldn't let anyone know about it; it's his secret.
