Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Outside the cafeteria, Su Muqing watched the black and red flame flash by, and sighed with relief.

"it's over."

The student council's exploration team, standing to the side, paused, looking puzzled.

"What's over?"

Seeing the joyful expression on her face, the leading soldier realized what was happening:

"You don't mean that kid has already killed the dragon, do you?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Su Muqing's matter-of-fact expression made him shake his head helplessly.

"Ha, no offense, but sis, your guy is somewhat capable, but he's still a ways off from slaying a dragon, especially considering how little time has passed."

Only a dozen minutes have passed; even slaughtering a pig wouldn't be this fast.

"Heh, I'm afraid the dragon has already been fed."

Someone chuckled softly, glancing at Su Muqing, their eyes flashing:

"Hey beautiful, if you ask me, you shouldn't wait any longer, come back with us."

Su Muqing gave him a cold glance and saw through his intentions at a glance.

"Is everyone in the student council a piece of trash like you?"

"you!"

The man's face flushed red, and his eyes were filled with coldness as he looked at Su Muqing and the others.

I was originally going to be gentle, but since he doesn't know how to appreciate it, I won't blame him.

"Heh, stop pretending. Wait until the 24-hour safe house ends, then I'll make you pay!"

A cold glint flashed in Su Muqing's eyes, but before she could speak, a sharp sword beam pierced through the air.

scoff-

Blood splattered, and a headless corpse fell to the ground.

[Defeat Swann, 100% combat contribution, gain +4 Strength, +4 Agility, +4 Constitution, and +1 Intelligence.]

"I knew it, he's just a moron with an IQ of less than 10."

Xiao Yun chuckled, kicked the corpse aside, and looked at Su Muqing.

"Besides him, has anyone else ever barked at you like a dog?"

Su Muqing shook her head, and just then, a roar sounded behind her.

"You've gone too far!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun turned around, casually slapped away the spear aimed at him, and kicked the other person, along with his riot shield, flying away.

clang--

He swung his sword to deflect the warrior's giant axe, then lifted him by the neck like a chick.

"I had just started to change my opinion of the student council, but I didn't expect it to be just as bad as it is now."

Xiao Yun shook his head, lifted his body, blocked the arrow that came from the right, and then used him as a sandbag to throw at the mage who was casting a spell.

"It's one thing for your character to be rotten, but your skills are just as bad. Your guild leader might as well just kill himself."

"Ahem... I agree with the second half of that statement."

Wei Shoucheng hurriedly interrupted, preventing the situation from escalating further.

"Boss, this guy killed Swan!"

"Yes, boss, you've come at the right time! Let's avenge Swann together!"

Before the person who was shouting could finish speaking, Wei Shoucheng slapped him across the face.

"What a load of rubbish! He insulted others first, he deserved to die."

Wei Shoucheng's face was grim as he coldly swept his gaze over the crowd:

"I told you before you joined that you are not allowed to bully unfamiliar classmates or insult girls by taking advantage of your strength. Today, Brother Xiao Yun killed this scoundrel. Otherwise, I would have killed him with my own hands."

Everyone lowered their heads and fell silent, their eyes filled with displeasure.

The boss is really something. Even though Swan made a mistake, he's still family. Why should he scold his own family for an outsider?

Just then, a huge shadow loomed over them.

Everyone looked up in astonishment, only to meet the enormous eyes of the Star-Eating Dragon.

"Dragon... Dragon!"

"What are you yelling about? They're all dead."

Ji Mingyu sneered and threw the massive body of the Star-Eating Dragon to the ground.

Fortunately, the open space was large enough, otherwise this body, which was as big as a medium-sized truck, would not have been able to fit.

Hearing the trembling sound of the corpse hitting the ground, everyone came to their senses and looked at Xiao Yun in disbelief.

"He...did he really kill the dragon?"

"Goodness gracious... This is too much! I must be dreaming."

The soldier wiped his neck, his eyes filled with relief:

"I'm still alive even with a dragon's hand gripping my neck after I've been chopped down. I'm awesome."

Under the shock of the dragon corpse, everyone completely forgot about the death of their companion, and their eyes were filled with deep awe as they looked at Xiao Yun.

Wei Shoucheng rolled his eyes at them, then looked at Xiao Yun and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Brother Xiao Yun, this dragon is so big, it's difficult for you to divide it. Why don't we help you?"

Seeing Xiao Yun raise his eyelids, he hurriedly explained:

"We don't need the important materials, just give me some dragon meat as food. If that's not possible, we can buy it with money."

"I'll pass on the money; I don't like taking advantage of others."

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment and said:

"You help with the division; each person can get 10 catties of dragon meat, but you have to exchange things for materials like dragon scales and dragon blood."

Wei Shoucheng was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Yun."

"You're welcome. Now that we've settled on the payment for the work, let's talk about something else."

Xiao Yun pointed to Shi Wang's corpse, and Wei Shouhuan couldn't help but shudder.

Although the culprit is dead, the compensation cannot be less...

Finally, Wei Shoucheng offered all the spoils they had gathered on this trip as an apology.

Aside from some fruits and beast materials that could enhance attributes, Xiao Yun was only interested in three things.

【Materials: Starlight Rice Seeds】

[Grade: D-]

[Special Effect 1: Long-term consumption enhances adaptability to stellar power]

【Special Effect 2: Can be ripened with starlight, maturing in as little as 72 hours】

[Description: Rice that has mutated after being influenced by the power of stars has a much greater feeling of fullness than ordinary rice, making it a good food.]

【Ingredients: Starlight Tomatoes】

[Grade: D+]

[Special Effect 1: Long-term consumption enhances adaptability to stellar power]

【Special Effect 2: Can be ripened with starlight, maturing in as little as 48 hours】

[Description: Tomatoes mutated after being influenced by the power of stars have an excellent taste and are rich in trace elements, making them a great food.]

【Ingredients: Starry Garlic】

[Grade: D+]

[Special Effect 1: Long-term consumption enhances adaptability to stellar power]

【Special Effect 2: Can be ripened with starlight, maturing in as little as 24 hours】

[Description: Garlic that has mutated after being influenced by the power of the stars. It is extremely rich in allicin and is a good food and seasoning.]

According to Wei Shoucheng, it was found in a refrigerator at one of the stalls; it's unknown whether other stalls have any left.

It was getting late, and Xiao Yun planned to take a look along the way when he went to collect meteorites the next day.

"Even without other things, these are enough for the short term. Besides, there is no other way to obtain this 'Starlight' except for Star Fragments."

Star fragments are a very valuable resource that needs to be used to charge the [Star Power]. This can be done once or twice, but it's not feasible to use them for planting in the long term.

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, but did not use the last opportunity of the preview to search for "Starlight".

"The Light-Stealing Bug, I wonder if the ancestral bug will be able to unleash the Light of the Stars after evolving with the power of the stars..."

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yun took out a lunchbox from his bag.

Open the box, and inside, the insect ancestor lies fast asleep among a shard of leaf.

"Hey, wake up, get up and evolve!"

Xiao Yun picked it up and shoved a piece of meteorite fragment into its hand.

"Well……"

The Light-Stealing Bug opened its drowsy eyes and looked at the [Meteorite Fragment] in front of it, its tiny eyes gleaming with a hungry wolf-like gleam.

Without any hesitation, it climbed onto the [Star Fragment] and began to gnaw on it.

Click—click—

It made a crunching sound like gnawing on sugarcane, and in no time at all, it had devoured a piece of meteorite the size of a fingertip.

"It's truly worthy of the name I gave you."

Xiao Yun smiled, looking at the starlight flowing like a galaxy around the Insect Ancestor, and quickly opened the follower panel.

Sure enough, the words "in the process of evolution" were added.

"It really works!"

Xiao Yun was overjoyed. Sensing the longing conveyed by the insect ancestor, he handed it another fragment of a meteorite.

He casually knocked down a few kilograms when he left; that should be enough for the Light-Stealing Bug to evolve... right?

Click—click—

An hour later, Xiao Yun's lips twitched slightly as he watched the insect ancestor still gnawing on the meteorite fragments.

"Alright, alright, it's normal for them to be able to eat after all, since it's a case of atavism."

If it's edible, it must be useful. Anyway, that meteorite is as tall as a one-story building, which should be enough for the worm ancestor to eat.

After placing enough meteorite fragments and pouring out half a box of Star-Eating Dragon Blood, Xiao Yun went outside the safe house, chatting with everyone while waiting for dinner.

Dinner was tomato stewed dragon meat rice. It was a rare treat to eat in the cafeteria, and I had so many ingredients that it was inconvenient to carry them around, so I decided to splurge a little.

In the large pot, the sweetness of the tomatoes and the garlic stir-fried in hot oil blended together perfectly, while the rich aroma of the Star-Eating Dragon meat added a touch of magnificence. Even with only salt added for seasoning, the sizzling fragrance was enough to make anyone's mouth water.

Served with firewood-cooked rice steamed in an iron pot, the sweet and sour meat broth perfectly complements the plump rice grains. As you chew a piece of tender dragon meat, the sweet and sour tomato flavor and the rich juices of the meat explode in your mouth, making it impossible to stop eating.

Xiao Yun ate two large bowls of food, and only stopped when his belly was round and full, still feeling unsatisfied.

[Ding! Consuming 'Star-Eating Dragon' meat, Strength +3, Constitution +3, Intelligence +3]

"No wonder it's dragon meat from heaven!"

Xiao Yun sighed. Although Zhong Mo mocked the Star-Eating Dragon as just a lizard, it was still a lizard stained with dragon blood, making it extremely extraordinary.

Of course, it was a bit ugly to look at. Fortunately, the student council members took on the task of cutting it up. Otherwise, if they had to cut off that hideous flesh with their own hands, it would have been really hard to eat this meal tonight.

After dinner, while everyone was chatting, Xiao Yun opened the system panel and used the last message of the day.

[Ding! Specified information—'Nightwing Crow' 'Evolution Method', information retrieval in progress...]

[Ding! Message has been refreshed...]

[Preview Information - Nightwing Raven: An ordinary raven living in the wilderness, seemingly unremarkable, but in the First Age, they were hailed as "divine birds," having close ties with many gods, and some even possessing the authority of "fire" and "death" among their ancestors]

"There are so many evolutionary paths."

Looking at the numerous evolution paths, Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

"Ancestor Insect has already evolved with the power of stars, so let's go for the Shadow route for King Raven. I happen to have some materials here."

After making the decision, Xiao Yun took out a [Shadow Stone] and summoned the Crow King.

"quack!"

The Crow King flapped its wings and curiously circled the Shadow Stone a few times.

"Are we going to eat the Shadow Stone like the Insect Ancestor?"

Just as I was wondering, suddenly, the cry of the Crow King echoed in my mind.

"Master... spirit... spirituality."

Xiao Yun suddenly understood and channeled his mana into the Shadow Stone.

hum - hum - hum -

The Shadow Stone flickered, floated in the air, and exploded into a cloud of dark mist.

"quack!"

King Crow nodded to Xiao Yun, flapped his wings, and soared into the mist.

The moment it disappeared, the mist vanished, and it turned back into a stone.

[Shadow Stone - Nightwing Raven is evolving]

Seeing the words appear before him, and with the message from the Crow King, Xiao Yun nodded:

"It seems that absorbing the power inside will also take some time."

Tell the Crow King to call him when fighting the Shadow Monster, Xiao Yun put away the Shadow Stone and returned to the safe house.

"Are you done with your work?"

Su Muqing looked over with a smile, and Xiao Yun nodded:

"I'm finally done with all the work, I can finally get some rest."

Xiao Yun stretched and lay down in the sleeping bag, leaning against Su Muqing.

"The dragon-slaying team is still active today. Considering all the other scores, you should have enough. Call me when it's time to settle the job change."

"it is good."

Su Muqing's gentle voice rang in his ears. Today's battle had taken its toll, and before he knew it, Xiao Yun had drifted off to sleep.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving one day. Today's rewards are being calculated.]

Today, you explored the dormitory area, collecting numerous potions and monster materials as rewards, and obtaining the Golden Shovel, an Easter egg item. You also defeated the Star-Eating Worms and rescued the student council members, leaving a deep impression on them with your formidable strength...

"Xiao Yun, I..."

Su Muqing held the job change card and was about to call out to Xiao Yun, but seeing the exhaustion on his face, she swallowed the words she was about to say.

"Sleep peacefully, my dragon-slaying hero..."

With a smile, she leaned down and placed a kiss on Xiao Yun's forehead.

The brave deserve this reward.
