C1 Dragon Nurturing System
Timber Village was located in the Heavenly Star Empire of the Holy Dragon Continent.
At the border of Old Man Lee's fruit garden in Timber Village, a certain old man shouted, "Stop right there! Don't run!"
The voice of an agry old man sounded through the air, followed by the sound of a crutch falling on the ground.
"You naughty child! If you dare to steal my Devil Flower Fruit again, I'll make sure to break your legs next time!"
The Devil Flower Fruit is the lowest quality fruit widely consumed by ordinary people. But since it's a cheap product, it can only be sold for no more than a few copper coins on the market.
Sprinting away mischievously, Zhang Xing shouted, "Old Man Lee, aren't these simply a few worthless fruits? When I get rich in the future, I'll build you an even larger fruit garden for you to plant the best quality fruits within!"
Seeing Zhang Xing running away with a smiling expression, Old Man Lee really couldn't find it in himself to get angry at the child. Instead, he silently sighed in his heart as he pitied Zhang Xing for being a poor child.
Originally, Zhang Xing was not an ordinary dweller of this world, for he was once a supervisor for a famous anime network back on Earth.
The most recent memory he had of his time back on Earth was how he went to pull out a plug sparking with electricity when he was working overtime. The next thing he knew, he had been transported into a foreign world.
In other words, he had transmigrated to another world and turned into the body of a six-year-old child.
Looking through the memories of the body's original host, he discovered that this child, Zhang Xing, actually had decent aptitude and talent for magic. As such, his grandfather lived a frugal life with the intention to send him to the Magic Academy, wishing for him to become a capable person in the future.
Unfortunately, on their way to the Magic Academy, they were ambushed by some wild wolves, and his grandfather even sacrificed himself to protect him. Wandering around the woods with nothing in his possession, he encountered many difficulties before ultimately starving to death on the outskirts of Timber Village.
In this mystical world filled with all kinds of magic, there exists both powerful warriors and the most respected of wizards.
Naturally, only the strong who were good at fighting would receive any sort of respect in this world.
Staggering in the midst of his sprint, Zhang Xing accidentally tripped and injured his leg. After all, he was still quite young. His steps were still rather unsteady and lacked balance.
Munching down on the Devil Flower Fruit, he turned around to look behind. With his chin covered with the sticky purple paste from the fruit, his appearance seemed to be rather amusing in the eyes of others.
"Everyone else possesses a golden finger, yet why don't I have anything?"
"If the villagers of Timber Village weren't kind enough to take me in, I would have long since starved to death three days ago. To think I had almost starved to death as the first person to transmigrate into this world. How laughable!"
In the midst of his thoughts, a sweet-sounding voice jolted through his mind.
In the next instant, he suddenly disappeared from his initial position and entered some sort of unknown domain.
Before him appeared a vast island overgrown with countless trees.
[Congratulations on summoning the Divine Dragon Island!"]
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Divine Dragon Nurturing System!]
Zhang Xing stared blankly at the sight before him and asked in confusion, "Why would I need to raise a dragon?"
[You can treat the dragons as your pet!]
Shouting in his heart, Zhang Xing's confused expression immediately turned into that of distress.
While the others possessed some sort of ancestor in their rings or various kinds of magical systems, he, on the other hand, was given a system for raising pets. Hearing that, his eyes turned red as tears welled up within.
Could it be that he would have to store a bunch of pet dragons in cages and squat down at his store every day, waiting for the nobles and lords to buy his dragons? Was he forced to walk down such a path in the future?
Zhang Xing was instantly filled with sorrow as he thought back to the pet shops selling all kinds of kittens and puppies back on Earth.
However, the next thing that the system mentioned erased all his initial thoughts and caused him to burst with joy instead.
[Pet dragons can be raised into a divine dragon. It will stand by your side no matter where you go and fight alongside you in your domination of this world!]
[Please enter the Divine Dragon Island and begin working on the system quests.]
As soon as the system's voice faded, Zhang Xing could feel his feet stepping on the ground again.
The island was certainly not small as he estimated it to be about the same size as Hainan Island back on Earth.
[Beginner mission will start now. You will be given 2000 gold coins to start with.]
Looking at the notification, he instantly felt as if he had hit the jackpot! After all, everyone in Timber Village usually used and traded with copper coins. Even silver coins were rarely seen, let alone gold coins.
First, he took a handful of gold coins and put them in his pocket.
Zhang Xing opened his hand and saw that he had only grabbed out five gold coins.
No, he wanted to grab out even more.
Despite his greatest efforts, he could only hold so much in his small hands.
[Island Master, you don't have to go through so much trouble. The gold coins can be transported into your pocket at will.]
Zhang Xing was slightly taken aback and rendered speechless.
"My first mission is to construct a base camp, which requires 200 gold coins. It'll serve as an essential building for constructing the dragon's nest."
With that, Zhang Xing opened up the control panel and scanned through the interface. Noticing the option for "Construction," he then activated it in his mind.
In the next instant, an illuminating white light shone on the island as a building similar in design to that of the medieval buildings in Europe back on Earth appeared from thin air.
[Congratulations on completing the mission. You have received 10 experience points and 100 gold coins.]
[Congratulations on leveling up. Your current rank is that of the Apprentice Fighter.]
Zhang Xing really did level up just like that. Now, he felt as if he possessed the strength similar to that of a 20-year-old young adult.
He then looked at his status bar, which showed that he currently possessed 1900 gold coins while his experience points were now 0/20..
