I was so scared that I put all my points into health.
Chapter 6 The Elf King Dragon's Obsession with Food
Wang Xiaoyi's trip was truly fruitful, far more than simply successfully becoming an Elf Envoy. He was like a little bear who had fallen into a honey pot and then been fished out and thrown into a treasure trove, his heart and eyes brimming with surprise and excitement. Moreover, he had obtained a precious item, which emitted a faint glow and in his hand was like a star imbued with endless mysterious power.
He sat beside the treasure chest, overwhelmed with excitement, like a child who had just received a beloved toy and suddenly discovered a priceless treasure hidden inside—a mixture of laughter and tears. He reached out a slightly trembling hand and gently stroked the chest, as if touching the door to another wondrous world. A surging power seemed to flow through his body, like a mighty river, coursing through his veins. Each surge brought him an unprecedented sense of strength, and his heart was filled with anticipation for the future, as if he saw a path paved with glory and miracles slowly unfolding before him.
Just then, the spirit of the Elf King Dragon reappeared, like a cloud suddenly drifting into view. Seeing Wang Xiaoyi's excited, unrestrained state, even its majestic spirit felt somewhat helpless, like an old man watching a mischievous child, unsure what to do. It couldn't help but cough twice, the coughs echoing in Wang Xiaoyi's mind like muffled thunder, forcefully interrupting Wang Xiaoyi's outburst.
"Young man, young man!" The voice of the Elf King Dragon rang in Wang Xiaoyi's mind, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction, just like a teacher correcting a student's mistake.
Wang Xiaoyi was startled by the sudden sound. His body trembled violently, and his eyes widened like copper bells. He looked at the spirit dragon king in the form of a spirit and asked in surprise, "You...you weren't defeated? How did you come back to life?" His voice was filled with doubt and a hint of awe.
The Elf Dragon King sighed, the sigh like an invisible wind blowing through Wang Xiaoyi's heart. It began to grumble, "Hmph, you're truly ignorant. I am the Elf Dragon King, possessing the ability to resurrect infinitely. Those heroes were utterly despicable! I was enjoying a nap, my soft, comfortable little nest like the warmest harbor, immersed in sweet dreams, when they suddenly barged in, moving as fast as a pack of out-of-control wild beasts. They attacked me without asking any questions. I was still somewhat dazed at the time; such a sudden attack caught me completely off guard. Before I could even cast my defensive magic, they shattered my soul, my poor soul scattered like a leaf swept away by a whirlwind."
"They not only attacked me, but also stole all my treasures. Although they were all worthless things, each one had special meaning to me. They were trinkets I had collected over the long years, little things I used to decorate my little home. They were my hard work, and that made me especially angry, it really made me furious!" The Elf King Dragon became more and more agitated as it spoke, its soul trembling slightly with anger, like a leaf violently shaking in the wind.
Looking at the Elf King Dragon, Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but think: "Worthless stuff? If you don't like it, just give it to me. I think it's very valuable and I really need it." However, he dared not show it on his face and could only continue to comfort and berate the hero and his teammates, following the Elf King Dragon's words: "Yes, yes, they really went too far. They attacked you for no reason and stole your treasure. They're really greedy, country bumpkins who've never seen the world. Those people are like a pack of greedy jackals, their eyes are only on treasure, they don't care about other people's feelings at all. They must pay the price!"
Hearing Wang Xiaoyi's insults, the Elf King Dragon seemed to calm down a bit. It looked at Wang Xiaoyi, a hint of approval flashing in its eyes, like a subtle light flickering deep in its soul.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoyi continued, "However, as you now know, there are still many righteous people in this world. Like me, although I am still very weak, like a newly sprouted sapling, fragile in the face of storms, I have a brave heart. I will strive to grow, absorb nutrients every day, become strong, and fight for justice with you. I will protect this world like a valiant knight."
Upon hearing this, the Elf King Dragon suddenly chuckled in exasperation. Its massive soul form trembled slightly, as if it felt a sense of pleasure from Wang Xiaoyi's words. It said, "Not bad, not bad, I'm quite pleased with what you said. You've got a sweet tongue, haven't you? You're truly a promising talent I've always had. You've met the Elf Queen, haven't you? She's my prized disciple. I specifically had her change your class. How will you thank me?"
The Elf King Dragon seemed satisfied with Wang Xiaoyi's attitude. Just then, the system notification sounded: "Ding, mission complete, reconciliation reached with the Elf King Dragon." Hearing this notification, Wang Xiaoyi was overjoyed. His eyes lit up like two bright stars. So the mission was just to listen to the Elf King Dragon complain and provide him with emotional value. This mission was too easy to complete, and he eagerly awaited the reward.
However, what followed greatly disappointed him: "Mission Reward: None." His mouth gaped slightly, like a child who had lost his candy. "What the hell? If there's no reward, don't make a notification sound. What a waste of my excitement," he muttered discontentedly, like a wronged little animal.
The Elf King Dragon looked at the newly promoted Elf Messenger before him, a hint of mockery flashing in its eyes. It spoke softly, its voice echoing in Wang Xiaoyi's ears like the tolling of an ancient bell: "Your name is Rein, right? Not bad, little fellow, you've got a clever edge. Do you know what kind of wondrous profession you've become, the Elf Messenger? Its power and abilities are probably like a fog to you, leaving you bewildered for now, aren't they?"
Upon hearing these words, Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He considered his current situation: what could a mere newbie offer to thank such a mysterious and powerful figure? Would he really be devoured in one bite? This absurd thought involuntarily popped into his mind, leaving him feeling both amused and exasperated.
Seeing Wang Xiaoyi standing there silently, looking conflicted, the Elf Dragon King seemed to guess his thoughts. It gently shook its head and continued, "Think about it, someone like me is the ultimate boss in Nightmare-level dungeons. Few dare to challenge me normally. Sometimes, it's rare for anyone to disturb my peace for a year or two. But last time, an arrogant adventurer came to challenge me, and naturally, he failed. However, he did drop a rather interesting item—a delicious food made by humans. The taste, wow, wow, it drove my taste buds crazy. Since then, I've been thinking about that wonderful taste and longing to go to the human world to taste more delicious food."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoyi's eyes lit up instantly, and the gloom in his heart vanished. He thought to himself, "Haha, other transmigrators either have a reliable system to help them, or they have some super powerful old man or mysterious teacher protecting them. I never thought I would be so lucky to have such a master-level teacher guiding me! This is truly incredible luck!"
Just then, a crisp system notification sounded in my ear: "Ding! Congratulations on receiving the permanent blessing of the Elemental King Dragon! Your maximum health is increased by 10%, and you have a certain chance to activate the Elemental Barrier effect, the duration of which increases with your level. You will also gain immunity to magic damage and recover 5% of your health every 10 seconds. Furthermore, your luck, equipment drop rate, and item drop rate will be significantly increased. The blessing status can be upgraded based on proficiency, adding passive skill proficiency functionality. Additionally, you have obtained a juvenile Elemental King Dragon pet!"
Wang Xiaoyi was overjoyed and quickly opened the pet interface to check. A small, adorable baby Elf King Dragon appeared on the screen; its innocent appearance was instantly endearing. Wang Xiaoyi carefully examined the pet's information:
Pet Name: Baby Elf King Dragon
Rating: 1
Race: Dragon
Attributes: Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Lightning
Skills: Elven Breath (Level 1), Dragon Scale Shield (Level 1), Magic Resistance Increase (Level 1)
The Elf Dragon has always been a symbol of mysterious power. Its enormous and majestic body seems capable of blotting out the sky, its scales shimmering with iridescent light like the most dazzling jewels, and each flap of its massive wings stirs up a gale, its long whiskers fluttering in the wind like the most magnificent ribbons. However, such a form is too awe-inspiring in this land; if it were to appear in dragon form in this way, it would inevitably cause endless panic among the people.
After careful consideration, the resourceful Wang Xiaoyi offered his suggestion to the Elf King Dragon. With a wise glint in his eyes, he earnestly said, "Your esteemed Elf King Dragon, your dragon might is too overwhelming, and it may be difficult for ordinary people to accept you openly. Why don't you transform into a more common form? This way, you can communicate more easily with the people and avoid unnecessary panic."
The enormous eyes of the Elf King Dragon gleamed with a lively light, as if it were pondering the feasibility of the proposal. After a moment, its massive soul began to undergo a wondrous transformation, the power that had once been enough to change the very fabric of the world gradually receding. In a flash of light, its soul seemed to transform into a dazzling cloud of light, which rapidly twisted and shaped.
Gradually, a brand new body appeared before everyone's eyes. It was the body of a parrot, its multicolored feathers as vibrant as the sunset, each feather like a meticulously crafted work of art, shimmering with a captivating luster. Its little head turned cleverly, its beady black eyes sparkling with intelligence and wit, its curved beak cute and playful. The powerful soul that should have been imposing now appeared harmonious and amusing within this small parrot's body. Wang Xiaoyi was initially taken aback by the sudden appearance of the parrot, but was then captivated by its adorable appearance.
The parrot-like body, formed from the enormous soul of the Elf King Dragon, was as satisfied as a child who had received countless candies. Its head bobbed wildly like a runaway propeller, its multicolored feathers suddenly swelling as if to burst through the sky and rival the sun. Every feather seemed to be cheering and leaping, its shimmering light as dazzling as a cosmic explosion. "Very good, very good! I firmly believe that you, little one, will not disappoint this great Elf King Dragon. From now on, we will embark hand in hand on this journey filled with challenges that will shake the entire Elf Continent and be utterly wondrous!" Its voice boomed like thunder in Wang Xiaoyi's ears, making his eardrums ring, as if a herd of elephants were stampeding past him.
Meanwhile, the Elf Dragon King was overjoyed, his mind racing like a wild horse galloping across a field of delicious food. "Hahaha, this dim-witted little fellow has actually plunged headlong into the food trap I've meticulously set! This world, in my eyes, is a giant food paradise, overflowing with countless delicacies, like stars in the Milky Way. The delicious food the hero mentioned from the human world—just thinking about it makes my taste buds feel like a pack of hungry wolves eyeing a fat sheep, howling and ready to pounce! If this little novice can cook something that satisfies my soul to the point of dancing, then I'll be like God descending to earth, unhesitatingly offering him all the treasures of the world; if he can't, well, I'll just blow him away with my dragon breath!" "Let him go to space, let him drift around like a speck of dust lost in the universe, let him know how serious the consequences are for offending this gluttonous dragon king, hehehe." The Elf King Dragon drooled as he pretended to be serious, preening his feathers with his claws. His eyes were like those of a glutton who hadn't eaten for three days and three nights, staring at a table full of delicacies. The light in his eyes was a hundred times brighter than the brightest star. In his mind, a dream castle built of food had already appeared. There were huge roasted meats with an aroma that could circle the earth, and cakes as tall as small mountains that were so sweet they could make your teeth fall out. He couldn't wait to start this culinary journey.
What it didn't know was that Wang Xiaoyi was a true Northeasterner, and when it came to Northeastern specialties and noodles, he could talk endlessly about them. Take Northeastern cuisine, for example: Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork) is golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and with one bite, the sweet and sour sauce instantly bursts in your mouth; Xiao Ji Dun Hazel Mushroom Stew has tender chicken and the aroma of hazel mushrooms permeates every crevice; and there's also Pork Stew with Vermicelli, where the vermicelli soaks up the aroma of the meat and the rich broth, the vermicelli is soft and chewy, and the pork is fatty but not greasy.
The noodles in Northeast China also have a unique flavor. The steaming dumplings are large and generously filled, and every bite is full of happiness; there are also chewy cold noodles, which are refreshing and delicious in the hot summer. Paired with spicy sesame sauce or refreshing pickled vegetables, they are simply delightful.
Wang Xiaoyi lives in a coastal city, where the seafood is unforgettable. Small but incredibly flavorful bighead carp, with its delicate flesh, releases an irresistible aroma after steaming; small yellow croaker is also a frequent guest at the table, fried until golden and crispy, each bite bursting with the bounty of the sea. Flower crabs, brimming with roe and crab fat, have an irresistible rich aroma; large prawns with firm, springy meat, simply blanched to bring out their original flavor. Sea cucumbers are crisp and chewy, their unique aroma always filling the kitchen during cooking; small sea cucumbers, when cleaned and used in soups, immediately infuse their flavor into the broth. Conch meat has a unique texture, and short-sided whelks also have a distinctive taste. Especially Wang Xiaoyi's mother, whose life was full of hardship, worked as a child laborer for her grandmother from a young age, shouldering the burden of life. But precisely because of this, she reached a master level in the professions of cooking and washing clothes. Whenever Wang Xiaoyi had free time, he would go home for a meal; his mother's cooking was incredibly delicious. Take the simplest stir-fried potato shreds, for example. The shreds were cut to a uniform thickness, and after being stir-fried in the pan, they were crisp and delicious. The tomato and egg stir-fry was a beautiful mix of red and yellow, with a perfectly balanced sweet and sour flavor that instantly whetted the appetite. The sweet and sour lotus root slices were coated in a glistening sweet and sour sauce; one bite and the sweet and sour flavors danced on the tongue. The various soups were also exceptional. The tomato and egg drop soup was vibrant in color, with tender egg flowers, and the sweet and sour tomato juice infused into the soup—a truly comforting drink. The cucumber and egg soup was refreshing and delicious, with the crispness of cucumber and the richness of egg blending perfectly. The potato and egg soup was rich and flavorful, with the softness of potato and the delicacy of egg complementing each other perfectly. The spinach, vermicelli, tofu, and meat soup was a delightful combination of ingredients, offering a different texture and flavor experience with every bite. There are also soups with complex and challenging processes, such as radish meatballs, where finely chopped radish is mixed with minced meat to make meatballs, resulting in a delicious and flavorful broth; eggplant boxes, lotus root boxes, and chive boxes, with crispy outer skin and savory fillings, offering a multi-layered flavor in every bite; fried pork belly, with its perfect balance of lean and fat, fried to a golden-brown and crispy exterior while remaining tender and juicy inside; and braised beef, with its firm cuts carefully braised to a rich, savory flavor and a satisfying chew.
In the real world, Wang Xiaoyi is just an ordinary citizen. He doesn't have the chance to soar through the sky in a helicopter or cruise the ocean in a yacht. His daily life revolves around hobbies like eating and drinking, singing, playing games, reading comics, and watching dramas. Now that he's in this other world, even if the Elf King Dragon doesn't say anything, Wang Xiaoyi wants to replicate some of his real-world hobbies here. He's never been one for fighting and killing, and when he first played this game, it wasn't for showing off. He was attracted by the ability to interact with NPCs, leisurely complete daily tasks, and enjoyably progress through the story. Spending money on in-game purchases is out of the question for him; he's played for quite a while and has always remained free-to-play. Right now, he's too poor and too weak, so in this world, it's best to play cautiously and develop his strength without taking unnecessary risks. Just like in the real world, the life of a shut-in seems simple, but every little moment filled with hobbies makes him feel fulfilled and happy.
