Dragon Raja's Number One Player

………………

Lin Zhiying pushed open the metal door to the basement.

There was no smell of decay in the air, only a slight earthy smell and a damp feeling from not seeing the sun for a long time.

The small house was quite clean, though a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the wooden furniture.

Even ten years ago, this place looked so shabby that it didn't seem like anyone lived here.

However, that is indeed the case; Chu Tianjiao does not live here.

Lin Zhiying couldn't help but laugh at the thought that Chu Tianjiao pretended to live here every day, but actually secretly went down to give her special treatment.

He walked to the bedside table, where a photograph was displayed—a family portrait.

The woman was beautiful, wearing a white lace dress with fair skin. The man, wearing a black shirt and with slicked-back hair, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

The boy was held in their arms by their intertwined fingers.

[Family Photo]

[Effect: Giving this gift to a specific target will slightly increase their affinity with the recipient.]

[Description: Beautiful memories are always in the past; photos capture that moment.]

Lin Zhiying, with the mindset of taking advantage of any opportunity, put it into his schoolbag.

This is good stuff.

The little boy in the picture is Chu Zihang, and the props will naturally increase his favorability.

As a member of the main characters, he not only possesses top-notch Word Power but also numerous combat skills. Increasing his favorability rating brings countless benefits.

Lin Zhiying focused her gaze on the mattress.

Someone who loves braised pork and spicy chicken wings would definitely want to sleep in a comfortable bed, but the bed in front of me is too hard.

He pulled back the mattress to reveal a hidden door underneath. The door was welded together with sheet metal and a frame, and it looked like a manhole cover.

Perhaps confident that they wouldn't be discovered, the hidden door wasn't locked where it should have been.

Without hesitation, he opened the hidden door and climbed down. Below was a steel pipe with a diameter of half a meter, and a thin thread could be vaguely seen.

As Lin Zhiying descended the steel pipe and felt the ground beneath his feet again, a huge space appeared before him.

This basement was originally designed to have three floors, but for some reason, the completed third floor was completely sealed off.

After the tunnel was opened up, it became Chu Tianjiao's secret base, covering an entire floor.

Golden Eyes' night vision ability allowed Lin Zhiying to see things around him in general, although some shadows were too far away to see clearly.

His field of vision was filled with countless item prompts!

Chu Tianjiao knew how to enjoy life. His room was neatly arranged with vinyl records, cigars, whiskey, and an old-fashioned camera as a collection.

And now they have all become Lin Zhiying's spoils of war.

3. With the help of special film, shooting can be carried out.

[Introduction: Nikon's first camera, launched in 1948, with a production run of no more than 1000 units]

I'm going to get rich!

Lin Zhiying's eyes lit up, and this was the only thought in her mind.

Without hesitation, he opened the alchemical backpack and began stuffing it full.

These things are quite fragile, so he dared not pile them up carelessly.

Therefore, the five cubic meter space was quickly filled, and two-thirds of the collection on the table remained.

Lin Zhiying now regrets not exchanging for an extra alchemical backpack.

However, even without any other gains, this trip wouldn't have been in vain, based solely on what we've gathered so far.

The things won't run away if I leave them here; I'll just have to come back another time.

With that thought in mind, Lin Zhiying packed up her backpack and began exploring the house.

Various fitness equipment were placed in the corner, and some things were pasted on the wall not far away.

Lin Zhiying walked over and turned on her phone's flashlight, revealing countless photos, news clippings, and handwritten notes.

The drawn red lines pass through it, some parallel to each other, and some intersecting.

On June 30, 1908, the Tunguska event occurred, with a mushroom cloud rising from the blast center…

On August 30, 1900, a mysterious ancient corpse awoke, and the Kassel estate near Hamburg was destroyed…

On the night of December 25, 1991, a violent explosion occurred in a frozen port in the permafrost zone of the Arctic Circle…

All major events related to the dragon race over the past two hundred years have been marked and displayed in it.

These red threads are woven into a complex web, and eventually all the red threads converge together, forming a circle drawn in red pen, with the English letters "Nidhogg" written in the middle of the circle.

Nidhogg, also known by a more familiar name—the Black King!

Compared to this intelligence, the collectibles were merely an add-on.

Many years ago, Chu Tianjiao wrote these things here.

As an S-class hybrid, he concealed his past and infiltrated this place, spending countless days and nights here watching the intelligence reports on the walls.

His disguise was almost perfect; the only flaw that was exposed was Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang performed so well that he was more like a ruthless award-printing machine than a person.

With each event read, Lin Zhiying would hear a pleasant system notification.

[Ding! You have learned a secret history related to the Dragon Clan and gained 1000 experience points.]

[Ding! You have obtained a piece of secret history related to the dragon race...]

In just a short while, he leveled up twice, reaching level thirteen!

I love reading so much!

Lin Zhiying estimated that if he read all the contents above, even if his experience bar increased, leveling up two more times should not be a problem.

However, he did not do that, because the most important thing now was to find the box left behind by Chu Tianjiao.

He was determined to obtain the dragon blood potion inside.

This is currently the easiest A-grade bloodline enhancement item to obtain in City A.

With this in mind, Lin Zhiying searched back and forth in the room.

There was no fitness equipment in the corner.

There was no water basin for developing photos, nor a worktable filled with Chu Zihang's photos secured with thumbtacks.

He even lifted the Australian sheepskin covering the large bed in the center of the room to take a look.

nothing.

The box that should have been here seemed to have evaporated.

Could it be that someone beat me to it? Lin Zhiying wondered.

But it's only the second day since the game launched, so it's impossible for anyone to get here faster than him.

Lin Zhiying had a feeling that she had overlooked some important detail.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

A lazy voice came from behind him.

Someone had somehow gotten behind him without him even realizing it.

He slowly pushed a silver-white box with a World Tree pattern in front of Lin Zhiying.
