I was kidnapped by a dragon after transmigrating into a book, and the dragon clan adopted me as thei

Even after Long Yan took him to his residence and settled him in, Shen Shu'an was still arguing with the system.

"System, how could you give me a loan without my consent???"

"This is outrageous loan sharking!!!"

Shen Shuan was in extreme pain. This damn system! If this were on Earth, it would get him arrested by the police.

[Host, what do we do now? Didn't you just give yourself away?]

Shen Shu'an: "...Uh, that's still not possible."

[Host, interest-free for the first month.]

Shen Shu'an: "Hiss, really?"

【Okay, host, please repay the loan as soon as possible.】

[If I hadn't urgently applied for a newbie loan for you just now, the source tracing technique would have failed, which you wouldn't have wanted, would you, host?]

Shen Shu'an sat on the edge of the bed, clenched her fist and silently punched the blanket: "Waaah, you're just threatening me!"

As he spoke, Shen Shu'an pulled out a small notebook from his storage ring, gritting his teeth as he said, "The humiliation of borrowing points today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"

【…】

The system fell silent.

Looking at Shen Shuan's sinister expression, it hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, host, is this really necessary?"

Let me see if I can apply for another two months of interest-free financing for you, is that okay?

"That's more like it."

  

Having received a satisfactory reply, Shen Shuan stopped writing in her notebook and carefully put the notebook and pen away.

"Send out some tasks quickly; the thought of being in debt makes me feel terrible."

[No, host, am I the stress system or are you?]

"Never mind that, just issue the task."

As Shen Shuan spoke, she walked to the door, opened it, looked around, and seeing that no one was there, closed the door again.

The place she is in now is Longyan's cave on Dragon Island.

After Old Ancestor Bai left, Long Yan grinned and told Shen Shu'an to call him "Uncle".

Shen Shuan was reluctant at first, but Long Yan waved his hand and gave the small courtyard in the cave to Shen Shuan.

Faced with such a financial offensive, Shen Shuan could not resist and immediately gave in, calling him "uncle" several times.

Long Yan smiled, his eyes crinkling, and then told Shen Shu'an that she had to go to class the next day.

That's right, the Dragon Island Young Dragon Teaching Class is taught by a powerful being. The only two students are Shen Shu'an, who will be enrolling tomorrow, and the Dragon Prince who has already enrolled.

Shen Shu'an closed the door, found a futon, sat cross-legged, and began to practice her internal energy cultivation.

The system watched all this in silence for a long time before speaking to Shen Shu'an—

[Beep, today's task: Circulate the "Mysterious Bright Qi Cultivation Technique" three times.]

[Task Reward: 1 System Point. Task Penalty: Three hours of itching all over your body.]

Shen Shu'an smiled slightly. Hehe, the little system still wants to put pressure on her?

Little system, have you ever seen morning self-study at 6:30 am and evening self-study at 9:30 pm?

How dare you chatter away in front of me, a college student?

"However, you're so stingy! You're even offering a single point!"

Shen Shu'an said unhappily, "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

[Beep, host, your account currently owes fifty points, you're practically a beggar.]

Shen Shu'an remained silent and closed her eyes: "..."

A second later, he opened his eyes and said, "The humiliation I suffered today, I will never forget..."

[Alright, alright, host, stop, stop, stop reading. The mission rewards have no authority to be changed.]

"Alright then."

Shen Shu'an sighed regretfully and stopped chanting the incantation.

Afterwards, Shen Shu calmed her mind and closed her eyes to try out the "Mysterious Brightness Qi Cultivation Technique" from her memory.

She's serious about cultivating immortality, risking 15 years of her academic life from her previous life!

This body has just entered the Holy Bright Sect and currently only has the first level of Qi Refining cultivation.

This "Mysterious Bright Qi Cultivation Technique" is the basic Qi cultivation method of the Holy Bright Sect. Although it is an introductory method, it is by no means an ordinary thing.

This technique is extremely inclusive, allowing anyone with any spiritual root to cultivate it, and its spiritual energy absorption rate far surpasses that of ordinary methods.

Shen Shu'an closed his eyes, silently recited the incantation, and guided the spiritual energy in his dantian to circulate within his body along the cultivation path.

At first, Shen Shuan didn't quite get it, but after patiently trying for half an hour, she gradually began to feel some small white lights appearing in the surrounding darkness.

Shen Shuan immediately realized that this was spiritual energy and immediately tried to capture it.

Unexpectedly, without much effort, the spiritual energy was smoothly absorbed into Shen Shu'an's body, and the absorption speed was getting faster and faster.

Upon seeing this, both the system in Shen Shu'an's mind and Shen Shu'an himself sighed inwardly.

"Could it be that I'm a cultivation genius?!"

"Could it be that the host is truly a genius?!"

……

In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed. Shen Shuan slowly opened his eyes, slightly raised his chin, displaying the demeanor of a master.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in her dantian was abundant, much stronger than it had been three hours ago.

"Is this what it feels like to cultivate immortality?"

Shen Shu'an sighed, a tiny white fluorescent point appearing on her fingertip.

She possesses a mutated ice spirit root, and it is also a top-grade heavenly spirit root.

Therefore, the spiritual power she transformed, after being converted by the spiritual root within her body, naturally also carried the power of ice.

The system responded enthusiastically to this.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing today's task one!]

[However, it has been detected that the host still has some energy remaining. Therefore, today's second task is issued: Please attempt to comprehend the Dragon Breath Technique.]

[Task Reward: 5 System Points]

[The Dragon Breath Technique is available in the system shop as a new player benefit; it can be purchased with just one point.]

The smile that had just appeared on Shen Shu'an's face slowly faded away.

Something's wrong. This system is extremely, extremely wrong.

What does it mean to "detect that the host still has spare strength"? And this "Dragon Breath Technique" that just requires one point.

She's only earned one point, and now she's already being planned to spend it all?

Shen Shu'an narrowed her eyes warily and said, "System, after I complete Task Two, will I be faced with a Task Three that requires five points?"

[Host, no, you still need to save those five points to pay off your loan.]

Shen Shu'an laughed in exasperation: "So I have to say thank you?"

[Host, this is what cultivating immortality is all about.]

Compete with others, compete with fate, compete with yourself; one step ahead, and you'll always be ahead.

[If you calculate one step, calculate two steps, you'll be calculated at every step. If you don't want to be calculated, then calculate others!]

Shen Shu'an was speechless: "You're so insidious."

[Host, this is the true principle of cultivation.]

Alternatively, if you become so powerful that others cannot scheme against you, then you will not be schemed against by others.

[However, host, please note that practicing the Dragon Breath Technique will be a bit difficult.]

Shen Shu'an: "?"

Shen Shu'an raised an eyebrow, suddenly intrigued. "This is a bit difficult?"

I play high-level games, so what's wrong with suffering a little?

Shen Shuan smiled confidently and immediately began searching for "Dragon Breath Technique" in the system's marketplace.

"No need to say more, System, I'm serious about cultivating immortality."

"As for repaying the loan, there's no rush."

"Didn't you already apply for two more months of interest-free financing for me?"

Shen Shuan found the "Dragon Breath Technique" and clicked to purchase it directly.

Now, it was the system's turn to fall silent.

No, is this host really that brave?

The system looked at the application report it had just submitted, which already displayed the words "approved".

And wait, that's not right.

This isn't right. Has it fallen into a trap? Has it been outmaneuvered by its host?

hateful.

"Oh, by the way, System, is there no penalty for Task Two?"

The system replied listlessly, "[Host, once the daily task is completed, subsequent tasks are advanced tasks and have no penalty.]"

"Oh, I see."

Shen Shuan responded, "That's understandable."

As a result, all the tasks after the first basic task became bonus questions. Although there was pressure, it was not without its challenges.

Phew, I almost got really stressed out by this damn system.

Shen Shuan breathed a sigh of relief, opened the book she had just bought, and felt a little heartache.

There's nothing else to it, she's just incredibly stingy.

【Dragon Breath Technique: The foundation of dragon breathing exercises, it strengthens muscles and bones, cleanses the meridians, and condenses the dragon's imposing aura.】

Looking at this concise introduction, which didn't waste a single word, Shen Shu'an opened the cultivation technique in her mind.

Let's go!

As for whether I can successfully grasp it today, we'll find out by trying.

Shen Shuan closed his eyes, and the spiritual energy in his dantian slowly circulated along the path of the "Dragon Breath Technique" in his mind.

But in the next second, the spiritual energy of the entire cave seemed to be suddenly pulled by something, and then rushed towards her all at once.

Long Yan, who was standing at the entrance of his cave showing off to the other dragons, suddenly glared at them: "?"

[Beep! Dragon Rock Shock detected. Gained 50 Emotion Points.]
