This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

[Affection level detected: 10, current level: 15]

[Phase 1 Personal Side Quest Now Available]

[Do you want to view available side quests?]

"Um?"

Thor did recall that the game featured unique side quests for each character, and included a variety of rewards.

He immediately chose to check out the side quests.

The panel changed quickly.

[Yulia - Stage 1 Personal Side Quest (Affection Level 10)]

[The Trustworthiness Behind Task One]

[Description: In the midst of fierce battle, you have completed your meeting with Julia. Under the relentless onslaught of the Zerg, you gradually shrink your defensive perimeter until you are back-to-back. You will protect each other's backs and defeat the omnipresent Zerg.]

Fierce fighting?

Thor was somewhat bewildered upon seeing this.

And where did the Zerg offensive come from?

【Task success conditions:】

【1. Destroy the insect swarm (Required)】

2. Protect Yulia's back from attacks by monsters on your side (optional)

3. Kill 0/100 enemy Zerg Engineers (Tier 4) (Optional)

[4. Personally kill 0/1 enemy Zerg leaders (optional)]

【award:???】

Thor stared at the panel, dumbfounded.

Where the hell did this Zerg offensive come from?

Moreover, they were fourth-tier enemies.

He's only at the second tier of strength right now, and his cultivation talent is a pitifully weak D+ level.

Even if he diligently trains for another year, he still won't be able to beat him.

He suddenly realized.

"The Zerg offensive..."

Isn't this the first part of the third chapter?

Thor understood what had happened.

Yulia's personal side quests are the fixed quests built into the game.

Yulia's appearance and highlight all begin in the third chapter.

In other words, this was originally the task of the third chapter.

It was just that my current self triggered it prematurely in the first chapter.

"No, system."

"Is this task still possible to complete?"

Failure to complete the prerequisite side quests may affect the triggering of subsequent side quests.

Thor lay on his bed with a dark expression on his face.

"Failure to complete this task will affect subsequent steps..."

In other words, this task must be completed.

To complete this task, you must complete the mandatory step 1: Destroy the swarm.

"To crush the swarm...?"

The system didn't seem to specify what kind of swarm it was.

......

The next morning, Thor got up on time.

He noticed that Yulia's favorability rating had increased by 2 points last night.

Current favorability rating: 19/100

Why does this favorability rating keep increasing for no apparent reason?

Thor simply couldn't understand the principle.

He instinctively checked his room to see if Yulia was hiding there.

It was obvious that Julia was not hiding in the corner of her room.

"Although I don't know the principle behind it, the fact that favorability can grow like chives is indeed a good thing."

With that in mind, he changed his clothes and finished washing up.

Thor clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly.

"Thank the God of Leeks for protecting us!"

After thanking the God of Leeks, he went to the restaurant and saw Julia waiting for him in her seat.

After a night's rest, the red welts on Yulia's body had faded, and her malnutrition had disappeared.

Now, Yulia has beautiful short brown hair, a vibrant face, and fair, delicate skin, showing no signs of the torture she has suffered.

Thor couldn't help but marvel, "This is the legendary bloodline talent!"

It's indeed durable.

As he passed by, he noticed Julia sniffing the surroundings.

After confirming Thor's scent, Yulia actually relaxed.

Thor didn't understand the significance of this action.

He interpreted this behavior as Yulia genuinely liking cosplay dogs, or as a habit she had at church.

[Yulia's favorability increased by 1]

"Great!" Thor abandoned his thoughts and thanked the God of Leeks for the gift.

"Good morning, Julia," the follower of the Leek God greeted her in a good mood.

"Good morning, young master."

Although Yulia was still a little reserved, she seemed to be in a good mood.

Thor chose a seat a bit away from Julia and sat down to enjoy his breakfast.

Seeing that Thor was starting to eat, Julia then grabbed a piece of bread.

Today's breakfast is dark bread with honey.

Yulia liked it very much.

She finished her portion and gazed longingly at the portion left for the housekeeper in the kitchen.

She's so hungry.

Thor had anticipated this.

After all, Yulia's bloodline is special.

A good car needs good fuel.

You need to eat a lot in order to awaken your extraordinary powers sooner.

He handed the food that originally belonged to the butler to Julia and asked the butler to make another portion for himself.

"Eat," Thor said.

Even Yulia felt a little embarrassed at the thought of being served food by someone she was supposed to be serving.

He looked at the food on the plate, feeling a bit tempted but not daring to eat it.

"Eat up, you're going to be my battle maid, aren't you?" Thor said calmly.

"A battle maid?"

The butler and Yulia, who were present, were both taken aback.

The butler suppressed the smile on his lips and didn't laugh.

Yulia blinked, then touched her head.

She couldn't understand how the words "maid" and "battle" were connected.

"Since you can't figure it out..."

At times like this, all you need to do is eat something.

To hide her embarrassment, she picked up the bread and ate it in small bites, trying to act like a lady.

Thor shook his head at the sight of the poorly executed ladylike performance.

Could it get any more fake?

Thor waited until Julia finished eating before speaking:

"Yulia, today we're going out to fight."

The tasks issued by the system are the focus.

The butler stood behind him, looking helpless. He knew Thor's habits well and understood the meaning of the battle Thor was talking about.

The young master is still the same young master. He didn't make a move last night because he wanted to save the best for enjoying in the wild.

Yulia's expression grew even more serious, and the dragon tail beneath her skirt curled up into a ball.

Could it be that this man treated her so well just so that she could be used as a punching bag today?

She has not yet awakened her extraordinary powers, nor has the dragon bloodline within her.

Aside from being slightly stronger than others, she didn't think she could be of any help.

According to her speculation.

Thor probably used her as bait to lure his enemy, or he used her beauty to seduce his opponent and then ambushed him from the shadows.

Sure enough, the humans gave themselves away...

[Yulia: Affection level decreased by 1]

Current favorability rating: 19/100

Thor's expression darkened upon seeing the system's notification.

The favorability rating rose absurdly, and it dropped absurdly as well.

However, the system's task must be completed.

The mission in the third chapter will definitely provide him with a great deal of wealth.

He has to do it.

Yulia's expression was already unpleasant.

Even more strangely, the butler, who had always unconditionally supported him, looked even more unpleasant.

"What's wrong? You two both want me to go out and fight alone?"

Upon hearing that Thor was going to fight alone in the wilderness, the butler was shocked and rushed forward to stop him.

"Young master, you mustn't!"

"You're fighting alone in the wilderness... what if someone sees you? What will you do for the rest of your life then?!"

The butler was terrified; if his young master were caught performing in public in the wild, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, given the young master's ability to have seven times a day.

If in the wild seven times in a row...

After thinking about it for a moment, the butler was terrified.

At that time, their entire family may be nailed to the pillar of shame.

The butler felt a pang of sorrow.

Thor sighed helplessly, not understanding what he was saying, nor why they were all reacting so strongly.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The butler dared not speak out of turn and could only shake his head.

Thor didn't want to deal with these things anymore.

He genuinely needs to address the problem of media poisoning.

We must not miss any possible clues or progress.

"Let's go, Julia, together."
