Crack, crack, crack.
The Dragon ate your brain.
————————————
“Boss, how much for an all-nighter?”
A lazy young man with dead fish eyes, carrying a box of grilled cold noodles, entered the Blue Dot Internet Cafe.
“25.”
The middle-aged boss with glasses was scrolling through “Doushou,” watching a female streamer dance provocatively, not even glancing at the young man.
“What? 25? Your old, broken setup dares to charge 25? Why don’t you just rob people?”
The young man’s name was Li Zhu. He lived in an 18th-tier small county town, earned 2800 a month, and always had a smile on his face.
His only spiritual comfort each day was going to the internet cafe after work. The one he usually went to was closed today.
“Oh, 25 is too expensive? If you’re not playing, then leave!”
Damn it! Li Zhu was furious upon hearing that, and in his anger, he just got a little angry.
He pulled out 25 yuan: “Turn on the machine, turn on the machine.”
There were only a few internet cafes in this small county town, and Li Zhu relied on his internet addiction to survive.
“Don’t bully a poor youth, you bastard!”
He then found a machine and opened a game called 【Aier Ruia Continent】.
This was a Western fantasy game with races like Dragons, Elves, and Orcs, where the protagonist could choose any race to embark on an adventure.
As Li Zhu, a rat-person, he naturally chose the Dragon, which could overpower everything; the Dragon race was simply brainlessly strong.
A legendary stat-monster, just brainlessly awesome!
However, that wasn’t satisfying enough. Although this game was single-player, it had a top-up portal.
To obtain the strongest initial Dragon God template, it only cost 9999, but honestly, rich people had their ways, and rat-people had their ways of playing.
“Can’t I just use a cheat?”
Li Zhu smiled faintly, opened a cheat website, and downloaded a MOD called classic of mountains and seas.
It could attach the abilities of mythical beasts from the classic of mountains and seas to the character.
There was just one small drawback: if discovered, all account information in the entire internet cafe would be banned.
You ask if this is immoral?
“So what!”
This broken internet cafe is old and expensive, and there aren’t many people anyway. Plus, the boss has this kind of service attitude; it deserves to go out of business!
Ding! A notification sound of Xunlei download completion came from the headphones.
Li Zhu, without a word or any psychological burden, directly installed the game patch.
“Aier Ruia, launch!”
Suddenly, he felt something wrapped around his feet. He looked down and saw a pair of black wires.
Damn it, these wires in this broken internet cafe are all over the place! Just as he was complaining, a blue spark came from the wires.
“Buhao!”
Crack!
The 220-volt voltage instantly taught this cheater a lesson, and Li Zhu was “straight” for life.
Don’t bully a poor youth, because the deceased is to be respected.
The end… that’s impossible.
Aier Ruia Continent, Black Dragon Territory, Rotten Scale Swamp.
Li Zhu opened his eyes again and found himself encased in a hard shell, surrounded by a mixture of red, yellow, and white viscous fluid.
“So uncomfortable.”
Li Zhu began to struggle, but at this moment, he felt something was wrong. His body became weak, and his fingers were very inflexible.
He remembered the second before he lost consciousness.
“Oh no! Did it paralyze me? This damn boss, never mind the greasy keyboard and mouse, at least eliminate the safety hazards!”
Crack!
The hard shell encasing him shattered during his struggle, and immediately a foul stench permeated from outside the shell.
“Oh my god, it stinks so much. Did they put me in the morgue?”
Li Zhu wanted to live! He indicated that he could still be rescued.
“Damn it, someone help!”
However, he suddenly realized that the sound he made was very strange, like an infant’s cry.
Then a huge yellow light enveloped him. Li Zhu was stunned and slowly looked up.
What yellow lantern was this? It was clearly a huge, cold, vertical pupil.
The creature in front of him had a layer of jet-black scales on its surface, and when it spread its wings, dark red patterns like flowing lava adorned its wing membranes.
White, bony spikes grew from its lizard-like joints, and two rows of sharp teeth hung with disgusting, putrid scraps of meat.
“Oh, for crying out loud, where the hell did this take me? Is it even still China?”
Unfortunately, this was no longer China, and the huge Black Dragon in front of him was Li Zhu’s mother.
Kartaxis Omniros Rotten Scale.
This massive Black Dragon stared at Li Zhu with two chilling pupils.
Li Zhu’s new body had no wings, and unlike the Black Dragon’s broad skeleton and muscles, his body was dark red and very thin.
Not all Dragon eggs can hatch into Dragons; sometimes, the Dragon Bloodline in the egg is too thin, causing mutations.
For example, the wyvern terrain of the Sub-Dragon race, sea dragons, and some mutated Dragon species based on their environment.
For example, the Rotten Swamp Dragon Crocodile, and even some completely unrelated insects that also have Dragon blood in their bodies.
Clearly, Li Zhu was either a deformed creature or a Dragon Beast.
The Dragon Mother spoke, using Dragon Language, which every hatchling naturally learns.
“True Name!”
Li Zhu was already terrified; how could a 20th-century person have seen such a situation?
However, a name appeared in his mind, and in his stunned state, it slipped out.
“Nai… Naisade.”
The Dragon Mother snorted white mist from her nose, clearly seeing that the hatchling before her was a complete defective product.
For defective Dragon Bloodlines like Li Zhu, mother Dragons usually let them die or throw them into dangerous areas to fend for themselves.
However, fortunately, there is a Dragon law that forbids cannibalism.
【All Dragons shall not feed on the flesh and blood of their own kind. Violators shall be judged by the court, stripped of their scales and tendons, and their true name burned in the Dragon Heart Furnace.】
Li Zhu also realized his predicament. Clearly, he had transmigrated, and he had transmigrated into the most rubbish Dragon template, a Dragon Beast.
“System, help me! Come out quickly, don’t make me kneel and beg you!”
Transmigrating to another world, you have to give me a cheat, right? With such a trash template, I won’t survive three chapters!
Ding! The Xunlei download completion notification suddenly rang out.
“Damn it, now is not the time for this! Uh, no…”
Here it comes!
Before Li Zhu’s eyes, an ancient scroll appeared, with four grand, flying characters written on its front.
【classic of mountains and seas】
“Isn’t this the cheat I opened? Haha, I’m finally going to become a superior being!”
Li Zhu burst into laughter. Although I am the most humble, the lowest Dragon Beast.
But isn’t there a saying, don’t bully a poor youth! No, it should be changed now.
“Don’t bully a poor young Dragon!”
Li Zhu had been chattering from the beginning, and his self-amusement angered the Dragon Mother, who immediately let out a low growl.
“Noisy!”
The huge claw directly swatted Li Zhu away, and he fell to the ground, covered in scrapes and spitting blood.
He almost became a deceased person again.
Kartaxis was a 170-year-old young Dragon. A young Dragon can grow up to 20 meters long and weigh up to 5000 tons!
Many people have no concept of this; 20 meters is equivalent to the height of a five or six-story building.
Of course, the tail length accounts for half, but even so, being slapped by such a massive behemoth, Li Zhu almost died.
He lay on the ground convulsing, clearly on the verge of death.
“System big brother, save my dog life!”
