Chapter 20: Archer Zhang Zhiling
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Eight o’clock in the evening…
A doorman led Su Ce into a four-star hotel.
The entire hotel lobby was luxuriously decorated and very splendid. The crystal chandelier above their heads was also very eye-catching.
This was his first time entering such a high-end hotel. Even though his wallet was bulging, he was still more or less nervous.
He took out his ID, paid, and took the keycard.
Then Su Ce took the guest elevator to Room 301, where he was going to stay tonight.
He swiped the card and entered the room.
The soft wool carpet gave him a very comfortable feeling. When he walked into the living room, he found that the sofa, LCD television, and other high-end furniture were all complete.
He sank into the soft sofa, looked up at the softly lit chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and sighed from the bottom of his heart. “Ah, the luxurious enjoyment of the damn rich is really hard to extricate yourself from.”
He got up and toured the bedroom.
The bedroom was decorated in a similar style as the living room, but most of the area was occupied by a soft white bed.
Su Ce was considering whether he should take a shower first.
Some of Alexis’s emotions appeared in his mind.
While taking out a set of clothes from his inventory, he said, “You want to come out after only staying in there for less than three hours?”
Soon, he received another protest from Alexis.
“Alright, I really can’t do anything about you. But you can only appear in your young form.”
Unable to resist her protests, Su Ce could only immediately cast the summoning spell to release Alexis from the contract space.
This time, he only used about a third of his mana.
Because Alexis had agreed to appear in her young form, the summoning didn’t consume much MP and spiritual power.
A purple magic circle rose in front of him, and then a light spread out from the magic circle.
The next second, Alexis, who was still a child with a curious expression, appeared in the bedroom out of thin air. “Woo!”
As soon as she was summoned, Alexis immediately bounced toward her master.
Alexis was only slightly bigger than when she first came out of the egg, and she weighed less than five kilograms.
Su Ce picked her up easily. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to the bathroom to take a bath.”
Carrying his change of clothes in one arm, he held Alexis in the other and pushed open the door to the bathroom.
Alexis tilted her head and looked at the unfamiliar environment. She had no idea what the bathroom her master was talking about was!
Su Ce placed Alexis beside the sink and started testing the temperature of the bathtub’s water.
Little Alexis looked at herself in the mirror. She, who had scales all over her body and two small horns on her head, was playing very happily.
Su Ce filled the bathtub with warm water, took off his shirt, and prepared to enter.
Looking at her master completely ignoring her, Alexis immediately cried out in dissatisfaction. “Waaah!”
Fortunately, she was still a young dragon, so her voice wasn’t loud and wouldn’t disturb other guests.
“Don’t you have wings? Fly in yourself,” Su Ce said with a relaxed expression while slowly lying in the bathtub.
Alexis immediately spread her wings and flew over angrily.
When Su Ce saw Alexis standing at the corner of the bathtub with an angry expression, his lips curled up slightly. He immediately took out a piece of bloody beast meat from his inventory and threw it to her. “Don’t be angry. Have some food.”
She was originally angry with her back facing him, but after smelling the fragrance of meat in the air, she immediately became excited. She held more than one kilogram of beast meat and ate it in satisfaction.
Looking at Alexis eating very happily, Su Ce grinned and closed his eyes to relax. “This dragon is really lovable.”
After a day of adventure, although he had hardly participated in battles, he had truly experienced the cruelty of the dungeon.
In various mystic realms, the law of the jungle was even more vividly reflected.
On the contrary, because of the law, this kind of situation was much rarer in the city.
If one didn’t have enough strength, they were destined to be exploited and become an existence at the mercy of others.
He let the warm water slowly touch his neck, chin, and nose.
He experienced the feeling of being wrapped up, and the fatigue and heaviness in his heart were washed away by the water, melting bit by bit.
It wasn’t until all the oxygen in his chest was exhausted that Su Ce suddenly surfaced and gasped for fresh air.
Lying at the side, Alexis looked at her master in puzzlement. Then she continued to eat happily.
After washing away his fatigue, Su Ce felt relaxed all over. He got out of the water and changed into a set of clean clothes.
“I’m going to sleep. When you’re done playing, sleep on the sofa.” Su Ce waved his hand, turned around, and returned to the bedroom.
He left the door ajar and drew the curtains.
Then he crawled into the bed and closed his eyes in relaxation.
In just a few minutes, Su Ce fell asleep.
Alexis, who had just finished eating the beast meat and was wiping her mouth with her forefeet, seemed to realize this and immediately snuck out.
She first walked around the living room before entering the bedroom through the gap.
She spread her wings and jumped onto the soft bed. Imitating her master, she folded her wings and lay on her side on a pillow.
In this way, the human and the dragon slept until seven the next morning.
At seven o’clock, the sky outside the curtains gradually brightened.
Because he had to go to the Class Temple to advance his rank today, Su Ce woke up early.
Seeing Alexis still sleeping soundly on the side of the pillow, he cast the contract spell cunningly and put her into the contract space. “Little one, your imitation ability is quite strong.”
…
At 7:30 in the morning, many Professionals had already arrived on the sidewalks of the bustling commercial district on Jianye East Road.
The entire Jianye East Road was a new commercial district built by the government decades ago to serve Professionals.
Not only were there various well-known companies here, but there were also large chain stores that attracted the attention of many Professionals.
Various businesses related to Professionals, such as equipment sales, potion sales, equipment repair and enhancement, awakening, and class advancements, could be found in this commercial district.
Even the famous Carrie Auction House in Bo’an City was located here.
The abundant distribution of resources caused an endless stream of Professionals to come here every day.
As for Zhang Zhiling, he was one of the few Professionals in Leyton Academy who had obtained two combat skills upon awakening.
He was one of the Professionals who had rushed over from dozens of kilometers away early in the morning.
As an Archer with a high starting line, he was naturally very concerned about high-level materials and equipment related to his class.
The Archer advanced skill that had suddenly appeared at Carrie Auction House last night was his main goal in coming to the commercial district early in the morning.
Before coming, he had already done his homework.
He had a sufficient understanding of the effect of the Powerful Shooting skill.
Therefore, in order to ensure that he could obtain this skill book, he had prepared more than 100,000 dollars in cash before coming.
Even though this skill book could only be learned after becoming Rank 1, Zhang Zhiling was still very fanatical about it.
After all, a good combination of skills greatly affected a Professional’s combat ability.
Moreover, he had a century-old family backing him. A hundred thousand dollars wasn’t too much for him.
Passing through the busy streets, Zhang Zhiling quickened his pace, afraid that the skill book he was longing for would be bought by someone else.
But at this moment, he noticed an extremely familiar face among the oncoming crowd. “Su Ce? Why are you here?!”
Su Ce didn’t expect to meet a classmate in the commercial district in the morning, but he didn’t want to reveal his current strength, so he casually found an excuse to brush him off. “Uh… I’m here to do something.”
With that, he prepared to leave. But before he could take a few steps, the other party followed him.
“Hey, what a coincidence. We actually met here.
“I’m planning to buy something at Carrie Auction House. Do you want to come with me? I have a silver membership there.
“I went to the Ice Field Forest yesterday and killed a few monsters with my classmates. I’ve already reached Level 2. Where did you go yesterday? You didn’t participate in morning class.”
Hearing Zhang Zhiling’s voice next to his ear, Su Ce frowned slightly and only responded perfunctorily. “I went to learn sewing with my sister yesterday. I plan to buy some satin and go back to make clothes for myself.”
Hearing his explanation, Zhang Zhiling immediately became energetic. “Haha, aren’t you a Dragon Tamer? Why are you working as a life class? You’re not a girl!”
The laughter in his ears was a little harsh, but Su Ce didn’t care.
He was in a hurry to advance ranks, so he had no time to waste with the silkpants beside him.
But when Zhang Zhiling saw that Su Ce didn’t speak, he thought that he had hit his sore spot.
He immediately became even more energetic.
