Dragon Raja's Number One Player

..........................................

Chu Zihang found "Odin", but he was unable to defeat Him.

He saw the letter his father had left behind, but it told him not to seek revenge and not to join Kassel College, yet he seemed to have done both.

Chu Zihang was somewhat lost. If he had been fighting for revenge before, the fire that had been burning in his heart had now been extinguished.

Chu Zihang felt as if he had lost his goal in life.

He looked down at his toes and suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder from behind.

He turned around and saw it was Lin Zhiying.

"Remember to reimburse me for the travel expenses."

Hearing Lin Zhiying say that, he felt a little better for some reason.

Lin Zhiying had noticed that Chu Zihang was acting strangely a long time ago.

Although this guy has a poker face, you can still tell some of his emotions.

For example, a cold face and a cold aura indicate anger; a cold face but occasional small gestures indicate concern.

Now, Chu Zihang stood there with a cold face, but seemed to have shrunk into a ball.

Lin Zhiying knew that he was heartbroken.

Because he himself felt that way when he was sad, as if he had been rejected by the whole world and was all alone.

Feeling a little lost?

As Lin Zhiying spoke, she magically pulled two cans of beer out of her backpack, opened one for herself, and handed the other over.

Don't ask how I got it, it didn't cost me any money.

Chu Zihang rarely drinks alcohol, as it makes his hands unsteady, but he really wants to numb himself with alcohol right now.

He took the can from Lin Zhiying and gulped down a mouthful.

The bitter taste danced on the tip of my tongue, but the sorrow in my heart seemed to have faded a little.

Lin Zhiying took a sip herself and pointed to a corner of the wall.

He walked over first, squatted down against the wall, and a moment later Chu Zihang also squatted down next to him.

Neither of them spoke.

The two A-grade mixed-race individuals, like street thugs, squatted by the wall, drinking beer can after can.

Until the aluminum cans in front of me were scattered all over the ground.

Lin Zhiying didn't care about being dirty anymore and plopped down on the ground.

He pointed to the brightly lit CDB in the distance, "Do you know what my childhood dream was?"

Before Chu Zihang could speak, Lin Zhiying continued, "When I was a child, I wanted to be a doctor."

"Later, I developed a fever, and they pulled down my pants and gave me several injections. I felt the doctor was very fierce, and I didn't want to be a doctor anymore."

"When I was in junior high school, I thought it would be nice to be a teacher in the future."

Chu Zihang also sat down on the ground.

His eyes were perfectly clear; this amount of alcohol was nothing to a mixed-race person.

However, his thoughts were drawn into Lin Zhiying's conversation.

What did you want to do when you were little?

When Chu Tianjiao was still alive, he had actually thought about becoming a scientist in the future.

After his divorce from his mother, he wanted to become a policeman so he could protect her.

Then, after facing "Odin" and learning the truth about the world, he stopped talking about dreams.

Because the only meaning of his life was revenge.

"Are you saying that people change, so we should look forward?"

Chu Zihang felt he roughly understood why Lin Zhiying had said those things.

The future is long, so he will gradually find new meaning in life.

"No, what I meant was that I've definitely been a womanizer since I was a child."

Lin Zhiying said with a smile.

"I want to be a doctor because I can see pretty nurses every day; I want to be a teacher because I read 'The Young Woman' when I was in junior high..."

He then downed the glass of wine in one gulp and threw it forcefully to the ground.

"And what about you? All your previous revenge was for others, but have you ever thought about yourself?"

After saying this, Lin Zhiying turned her head and looked at Chu Zihang, her dark golden eyes equally clear.

Yourself?

Chu Zihang was slightly stunned when he heard Lin Zhiying's words.

It was referred to by the executive branch as "the sharpest sword" because a sword is a tool.

It seems he really hasn't known what he wants to do for a long time.

"The promises I made before still stand."

Lin Zhiying spoke up.

"But this time, it's for ourselves."

He had finished speaking; the rest was up to Chu Zihang.

Helping others is never simply about pointing out their mistakes.

This is just like a noblewoman holding a peasant woman's hand and weeping bitterly—it has no real meaning whatsoever.

The important thing is to point him in a new direction and tell him what to do next.

Only at this moment was his change of Chu Zihang's fate truly complete.

[System notification: You have successfully changed the fate of "Chu Zihang", increasing his favorability by 40 points.]

Current favorability rating: 45 points

Successfully triggered the hidden quest: "The Lion's Metamorphosis" (Rank A)

[Task Description: Hatred can drive people forward, but it cannot help them live. Chu Zihang has come to this realization after your persuasion, but he will probably need your help to truly achieve all of this.]

[Task Requirements: None]

No task requirements?

Looking at the task prompts on the panel, Lin Zhiying had a rough idea in mind.

Do you have anything else to do tomorrow?

Lin Zhiying asked.

"no."

Chu Zihang didn't know why Lin Zhiying said that, but he still answered truthfully.

"Alright, then tell me, do you want to practice your sword with me tomorrow?"

Lin Zhiying spoke up.

"What do you mean?"

Chu Zihang listened to Lin Zhiying's words with some confusion.

If you're going to practice swordsmanship together, then practice swordsmanship together. Why make me ask him again? Isn't that redundant?

"Just say it, it's part of the plan."

Lin Zhiying spoke up.

"Then, can you practice your sword with me tomorrow?"

[Unexpected Mission: Swordsmanship Sparring (Rank C)]

[Mission Description: Recent events have made Chu Zihang even more eager to become stronger. He needs someone to hone his swordsmanship with him, and you, who have sparred with him, would be a very good candidate.]

[Task requirement: To spar with Chu Zihang at the agreed time tomorrow.]

[Task Rewards: 100,000 experience points, 10,000 swordsmanship proficiency points]

[Note: This is part of the "The Lion's Metamorphosis" quest series; it is mandatory and cannot be refused.]

As expected, Lin Zhiying was overjoyed when she saw the pop-up notification on the panel.

The task requirements are none, which means the task is triggered completely randomly!

Adding to that the 45 points of favorability between himself and Chu Zihang, this creates a lot of room for manipulation.

I'm assigning myself this task!

I happened to die, and my level dropped by 18.

He has an interview with "Kassel College" the day after tomorrow, and since he can't level up by grinding, he needs to raise his level in this area.
