Zero Succubus in the Territory: Starting with Apprenticeship to the Yi Xuan Sisters

"Hmm... Is it perfect? ​​But isn't it a bit pricey to sell it for 1000 favor points? Besides, Amby seemed to enjoy the burgers I made before."

[Well, that's generally how it is, but something that everyone finds delicious can be slightly modified to appeal to a different group of people. As the saying goes, to each their own.]

[And Master, you haven't bought anything since you opened the system shop, so Xiao Ai hasn't been able to get anything out of it... (whispering)]

"Huh? What did you just say, Xiao Ai?"

[Ah, it's nothing, it's all a matter of personal taste. Besides, since this is your first time buying from the system store, I can make an exception and give you a random item for free, how about it?]

"Fine, I'll do as you say. Buy the recipe."

Yi sighed with a hint of helplessness, then agreed to Xiao Ai's suggestion. Although he preferred to improve his cooking skills himself, it would be a good thing if it could make Anbi more satisfied. Besides, he had never been able to stand others acting coquettishly towards him.

[As you command, congratulations to the host for obtaining the hamburger recipe (Anbit's version). Random rewards are being distributed... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Fire Dragon Soul Core]

Fire Dragon Soul Core

Description: The soul core, which houses the power of the fire dragon, allows its owner to acquire the power of the fire dragon and gain the ability to manipulate dragon flames.

PS: Legend has it that in ancient times, there existed a glorious and powerful dragon race. They were all different in form, each with their own strengths and magical abilities. But now... only a few descendants with diluted bloodlines remain in the world.

As the system notification disappeared, a tiny, fiery red orb appeared in front of Yi, then slowly merged into his brow.

The boy felt a sudden heat in his body, which then returned to normal. He tentatively opened his mouth, and the next second, flames actually shot out. Fortunately, he didn't use too much force, or he might have burned the kitchen down.

It seems that the myths and legends circulating online are true. However, even if dragons really exist, they only exist in a very distant history and have little to do with him now. He is just Yi from the video store, and even if he happens to have dragon blood, it cannot change that.

After confirming that the fire wouldn't burst out every time he spoke, Yi felt a little relieved and began to focus on preparing breakfast. The recipe was remarkably helpful, with the addition of various ingredients being so precise as to be almost frightening. It was truly perfect and worth learning from.

As he carried the "Ambi Attack Edition" burger out of the kitchen, Ambi was smiling and playing with the babes in the store. The girl's straightforward humor seemed to be especially popular with the babes.

In any case, it's good to get along well with his family. Just then, the two older sisters woke up and changed their clothes. They came downstairs somewhat lazily. With Yi's care, the two sisters, who were already exceptionally beautiful, looked even more stunning, which made Anbi pause for a moment.

Seeing this, the girl wanted to get up and greet the two of them. After all, she had already confirmed her relationship with Yi, and Zhe and Ling were no longer just good friends, but were about to become her "older sister".

This is no longer just a normal visit, but a part that causes headaches for countless young men and women, namely "meeting the parents".

Seeing this, Ling and Zhe smiled slightly, and together they gently pressed Anbi back onto the sofa, speaking softly at the same time.

“Ambi, there’s no need to be so reserved. We all know that.”

"Yes, we're all family now, so let's just get along like before. But if you want to be even closer, Anbi, you can call us 'Big Sister,' that's fine too~"

Seeing that her younger sister had another ill intention, Zhe, feeling a little annoyed, lightly chopped her with a chop. However, seeing the two of them, Anbi's tension eased a bit, and she was also secretly pleased. Zhe and Ling's reaction meant that they did not object to her relationship with Yi.

The girl nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed. Just then, Yi brought out the prepared food: a large hamburger, fully loaded with ingredients, juicy and delicious.

Just smelling the aroma is already a great pleasure.

"Breakfast is ready, everyone, please enjoy."

Yi bowed politely to the group, mimicking the gestures he'd learned from TV. Then he sat down at the coffee table, ready to feast. After all, one of the main reasons he enjoyed studying cooking was that he was a big foodie himself.

"Then we won't be polite~ Mmm... this is delicious!"

Ling's eyes lit up immediately after taking a bite. Although she knew that her younger brother was already a good cook, this... could really be called a divine dish!

"Mmm...it's really delicious, Yi, your cooking skills have improved again."

Compared to Lingzhe, she was much more reserved, but her slightly trembling pupils betrayed her shock. Anbi was even more exaggerated, with a tear running down her chubby cheek and dripping onto her thigh.

"Anbi, why are you crying? Is it because my cooking wasn't good?"

Seeing the girl shed tears, Yi panicked for the first time and quickly stepped forward to show his concern, while Anbi just shook her head vigorously, still chewing incessantly.

"No... this is really good, this is the best I've ever had, you idiot..."

The girl remained silent, simply continuing to eat her hamburger.

[Ambi's favorability +5, current favorability 95, favorability points +5000, current favorability points 20500]

Yi was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Anbi to react so strongly to the hamburger she made. A recipe that earned 1000 favorability points in exchange for a profit of 5000 was indeed a worthwhile deal. But more importantly... it was good that Anbi liked it.

A doting smile played on Yi's lips as he sat down close to the girl, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. There were plenty of hamburgers in stock today; Anbi could eat as many as she wanted.

"Phew~ I'm full. Although I really want to eat more, it feels a bit wasteful to eat too much of such delicious food in such a short time."

Faced with Ling's culinary theories, Zhe nodded in agreement while stroking his slightly protruding belly. Even she, who often diets to maintain her figure, could eat so much, which speaks volumes about Yi's superb cooking skills.

Yi smiled and silently began clearing away the tableware. Anbi, who was beside him, spontaneously got up to help. After taking the tableware back to the kitchen, the two prepared to head into the void together.

However, just as they were about to leave the video store with Eis, they heard Zhe's slightly amused voice from behind.

"Ambly~ Next time, bring Nicole along~"

Chapter 158 The Hand of the Dawn Dragon

A moment later, Yi and Anbi led Ies into the void. In addition to resolving their respective requests, they also needed to collect as much data about the void as possible in preparation for reclaiming the safe later.

Deathly stillness and decay—this is the consistent impression that emptiness gives to humankind.

But in this hellish predicament, a glimmer of hope occasionally appears.

In a desolate corner of Crete, amidst a cluster of abandoned buildings, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, sending golden flames soaring into the sky. Accompanied by the mournful cries of the dead, the surrounding atmosphere was shattered, becoming eerily quiet.

Amidst the flickering flames, a young figure slowly emerged from the epicenter of the explosion, stepping over the fallen rubble.

Against the blinding golden flames, one could only vaguely discern the boy's slender and upright figure. His clothes and hair fluttered slightly in the heat. Golden ether particles of the same color as the firelight floated around him. With each step he took, a ring of fine golden light would appear on the charred pebbles beneath his feet, as if even the earth was responding to his power.

Only after the flames completely died down were we able to see the boy's slightly disheveled and even comical appearance, a stark contrast to his earlier effortless movement through the fire.

Behind him followed a silver-haired girl and an adorable creature, both of which showed almost no signs of burning, suggesting they had been well protected.

"Cough cough... I accidentally used too much force just now, Ambiya, are you alright?"

Yi raised his hand and gently waved away the slightly pungent, burnt smell in front of him, then turned around to check on the two people behind him.

"We're fine... but Yi, you're the one who's alright, right? And what about that explosion..."

Anbi nodded gently, then leaned closer to check on Yi's condition. She understood that she and Zhe were able to survive the explosion thanks to the boy's protection, and that Yi was much closer to the epicenter of the explosion than they were. Even if Long Xiren was physically strong, he couldn't disregard his own safety like this...

Fortunately, Yi was not injured except for being a little covered in dust, and the two of them were finally relieved.

"Haha... The new weapon used some 'experimental' technology, and I couldn't control the power for a moment, but I'm fine, don't worry."

As he spoke, Yi scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly, while Zhe and Anbi's gazes naturally shifted to the weapon he was wearing on his right hand, which was a gauntlet... no, it might be more accurate to call it a gauntlet.

The cage-like hand was pure white, adorned with several pieces of shimmering gold dragon scale-like ornaments. It extended from the fingertips to the forearm, its texture dense yet extremely lightweight, enough to withstand his immense strength without changing its shape.

The joints, palm edges, and nail plates are covered with fine golden lines resembling dragon scales, with gold and white inlaid in an alternating pattern. The white nail plates are extremely tough and serve as the main load-bearing structure, while the golden scale edges guide ethereal energy. The layers are neat and distinct. A warm-colored core, like the sun, is inlaid on the back of the hand, radiating a warm yet intense aura.

This was the alternative weapon the system had prepared for him, the Dawn Dragon Hand. As its name suggests, it was a weapon related to dragons, and its design was incredibly imposing. So much so that he couldn't control his playful nature while using it and went a little overboard. Moreover, it seemed that there were a large number of abandoned gas cylinders stored in that ruin, which caused such a violent explosion. Fortunately, no one was injured.

"Seriously, that shop manager actually took out weapons that were still in the experimental stage and let the customers use them. I'll see what I say to him later."

Zhe, possessing Bangbu, crossed her arms, looking adorably sulky. But before she could continue to sulk, a series of wild beast roars echoed from all around. Needless to say, it was Ikumi who had been attracted by the earlier explosion.

"Ambi, prepare for battle."

"Ah."

The gauntlet covering his right arm trembled slightly, as if he was excited about the upcoming battle. However, he was sure he would use it carefully this time and not let it affect the people around him.

Yi stepped to a stop, his hands hanging at his sides slowly clenching into fists, the scorching ether transforming into a blazing fireball through the precious jade.

With a flick of the boy's finger, a fireball shot out with a golden-white tail, instantly engulfing the charging skeletons. Skeleton limbs flew up along with earth and stones. Although its power was not as domineering as before, it was still enough to subdue the enemy.

The remaining skeletons, stepping over the remains of their companions, pounced even more fiercely. It seemed the explosion had been quite loud, attracting all the monsters.

Leading the charge was a second-tier skeleton called Fabuti. This skeleton was known for its strength and had a burly build, about the height of two adults. Its hammer-like fists could easily block damage and also unleash devastating combos.

Back when I first entered the Void, I got beaten up by this guy quite a few times.

Facing his old rival, Yi was naturally aroused in his fighting spirit.

Facing the massive fist that was about to fall from Fabuti, he neither dodged nor avoided it. With a loud bang, the muscles in his right arm bulged up noticeably. The gauntlet felt its master's fighting spirit tremble in response, and its right fist, wrapped in golden-white flames, went straight to meet the monster's heavy blow. He actually wanted to directly confront the monster's heavy blow head-on.

“Zheng-”

The sound was like the collision of metal and stone. Yi stood still in the same punching stance, while Fabuti was shaken by the punch and staggered, as if a hollow core produced a noticeable fluctuation.

The skeletons have no intelligence and act only by the most basic instincts. The more advanced the skeleton, the more likely it is to retain a trace of its original obsession before being corrupted, or to have some ability to judge danger.

At that moment, Fabuti sensed a hint of danger from the little creature in front of it, but its instinct as a superior predator made it unwilling to retreat.

The giant fist fell again, and Yi also threw a punch to meet it. The two fists collided many times, and in the end, the one who threw both fists fell into a disadvantageous position.

Fabuti let out a deafening wail before being completely overturned by the seemingly tiny figure. The monster's arm armor shattered inch by inch, and the sun's flames seeped into its body through the cracks, instantly burning through its core from the inside.

Yi leaped high over Fabti's corpse, his wrist flipping to transform his palm into a blade. Golden-white flames transformed into crescent-shaped blades that swept across half the field. Several skeletons that were close by were shattered and burned to ashes before they could even roar.

Anbi, carrying Zhe in her arms, moved nimbly behind Ze, her long sword precisely piercing and slaying any remaining enemies. Her gaze occasionally swept over the golden and white gauntlets on Yi's hands, secretly marveling at the power of this new equipment.

In a short while, the two of them cleared away all the remains around them.

"Yi, you've become stronger."

Ambition, her face slightly flushed, leaned closer, a hint of joy on her face.

Seeing her beloved display such power as the characters in the movie made the girl's heart flutter even more.

Chapter 159 "Green Earphones" and "Bahamut"

Despite this minor hiccup, the two managed to clear out all the surrounding remains, so the subsequent mission was quickly completed.

Just as the two were about to leave, a group of tunnel raiders suddenly appeared in front of them.

There weren't many of them, and their equipment was rather rudimentary. They didn't look like vicious people; they were probably just trying to make a living in the cave.

Both cave raiders and rope craftsmen are on the same legal level, having committed the crime of "illegally stealing resources from the cave," just like there are good and bad people among ordinary people.

There are good and bad among the tomb raiders. People like Faetong and Cunning Rabbit House are rare good people, so as long as they don't do anything that endangers the lives of others, he won't stop them.

However, the group of tunnel raiders opposite them all looked like they were in danger, especially the young man in the lead, who was anxiously fiddling with the exploration equipment in his hand.

"Is it their rope maker? It looks like 'Radish' is rotten, Amby, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, the girl grabbed his sleeve, looking somewhat timid.

"Yi... let's go around that..."

The girl pleaded in a low voice, as if she had a secret she didn't want to tell.

"But... if there are no 'radishes,' they will definitely..."

After saying that, Yi paused for a moment, deliberately avoiding that word, but he was more curious about Anbi's reaction at this moment. Since he had known Anbi until now, he seemed to have never seen the other party look scared.

The group of cave raiders in front of us were at most ordinary citizens, not even thugs. If they hadn't dealt with the nearby Yi Hai, they would probably still be hiding somewhere.

However, since Ambition is unwilling, he will not force her.

“Well, Anbi, wait here for a moment, I’ll be right back.”

Yi smiled and kissed the girl's cheek, then prepared to go forward to check on the situation. However, as soon as he took a step, the girl behind him tugged at his clothes again.

"I...I'll go with you."

Seeing that Anbi still looked somewhat timid, Yi couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He gently squeezed the girl's soft hand, offering her a silent comfort.

Caught between the two, Zhe couldn't help but purse his lips. Tsk, the stench of romance...

The two continued forward until they stopped a few meters away from the group of cave raiders.

"Hello, what kind of trouble have you encountered?"

The lead tomb raider, dressed as a rope maker, was startled upon hearing this. He immediately adopted a wary stance and instinctively reached for his weapon. However, seeing that the two men were not hostile, he lowered his guard slightly.

"You're cave raiders too? Then you must have radishes, right? I wonder if we can..."

Before he could finish speaking, the young man spotted Anbi hiding behind Yi and said with some uncertainty.

"Green earphones?"

Yi felt Anbi tremble behind him, as if her weakness had been exposed, and her actions only made the young man more certain.

"Ambi, do you know her?"

"No...no, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not 'Green Earphone,' and my earphones aren't green either."

Ambition turned her head away, and began to make a guilty excuse, deliberately emphasizing the second half of her sentence, clearly hoping that the young man would stop asking questions. Unfortunately, the other party did not understand what she meant.

"No...you're Green Earphones, right? I have a good memory, I won't be wrong. We did a job together before."

"You... sigh, no, it's... I am the green earphone."

Anbi hadn't expected the other person to have such low emotional intelligence. Seeing that arguing was useless, the girl had no choice but to admit her "secret identity" with some dejection.

"Ambi...you wouldn't be taking on jobs behind Nico's back, would you?"
