Chapter 58: It’s My Turn to Develop You

On the way back, Xia Li took Lucia to eat at a roadside stall.

Originally, they planned to find a popular restaurant nearby, but halfway through the journey, Lucia, who was already hungry, pointed to a sign by the roadside and said, “It’s too late, let’s just eat here!”

…She’s a dragon who eats and sleeps all day, but she’s surprisingly punctual when it cos to eating.

This roadside stall mainly sold fried noodles. Lucia wandered around in front of the stall owner for a few tis, and finally pointed at the rice in his pot and said she wanted fried rice.

Xia Li knew why the dragon changed the noodles to rice, purely because her chopstick skills were too poor, and the fried noodles were too slippery for her to eat.

“Stop inspecting the work and co sit down.”

Lucia was still wandering around the stall. The three-wheeled cart, half the height of a person, was cramd full of ingredients and seasonings that Lucia had never seen before.

Her reaction was normal. Xia Li rembered that when he first went to Azure Continent, he wished he could tear down the entire palace to see if there was a film crew hiding inside.

“The owner who gave us the little sheep for twenty yuan was very generous.”

Lucia finished her inspection, ca back holding the sheep, and sat down on the small stool next to Xia Li with a thud.

“That wasn’t a gift,” Xia Li corrected, “I won it from him.”

“Those kinds of stalls are ant to rip off tourists, but he t .”

“Oh, so he’s a bad guy, but he was punished by the Brave Hero.”

Lucia seed to understand, but not completely.

Xia Li smiled, “We can’t say he’s a bad guy. After all, it’s just a way to make money. Twenty yuan isn’t much. The main thing about playing these gas is to enjoy the process.”

Xia Li was quite happy anyway.

If he wanted to, he could even win the grand prize of a ten-day trip to Europe for the owner, but that was completely unattractive to soone like Lucia who didn’t have an ID card, so in the end, he only took the doll.

Xia Li didn’t expect that the skills he learned in the other world could actually be used in this kind of place?

If his ntor knew about this, he would be furious.

The Brave Hero they carefully cultivated, using his maxed-out archery skills, won a doll, and even gave the doll to the dragon…

“…Well, the way humans define good and bad is very strange.”

Lucia had a hard ti distinguishing between ‘good’ and ‘bad’.

From her current point of view, she only knew that what made her happy was ‘good’, and vice versa.

For example, Xia Li was quite good.

Lucia recalled the scene of Xia Li shooting arrows just now. His eyes were determined, and his face was serious.

If she had seen this face in Azure Continent, Lucia would have flown away.

That kind of look, the next second he would be drawing his sword and killing her…

But today, Lucia saw Xia Li’s focus from a new perspective.

Although her heart still beat a little faster because of nervousness.

But this ti, the accelerated heartbeat seed different.

“Xia Li…”

Lucia said sincerely.

“You look a bit good when you shoot arrows.”

Xia Li asked the owner for a bottle of soda. Just as he was about to pry it open, the bottle opener in his hand paused.

“Good-looking? What do you an by a bit good-looking??”

Xia Li was confused by this sentence.

Thinking that Lucia was probably praising him, but couldn’t find the right words, Xia Li thought for a mont and said cheekily.

“‘Good-looking’ is not a word used to describe boys. You should say ‘handso’ and ‘cool’ to praise .

“Then you are handso and cool today.”

Lucia answered imdiately, her eyes as sincere as an angel’s.

“……”

Xia Li put the straw into the bottle and took a sip, pretending to be casual.

Of course he was handso. He even made the owner’s face turn red, how could he not be handso??

◈◈◈

Damn.

The dragon’s way of complinting people was too straightforward.

Whenever Xia Li looked at her sincere eyes, he felt like he was being electrocuted.

It made him feel a little embarrassed.

At this ti, he wanted to say sothing witty, but his mind went blank.

If it were Chen Tao and his gang, Xia Li would have replied with ‘Your dad should be this handso’?

The two were silent for a mont. The sound of fried noodles tossing in the hot pan behind them was very tempting. Lucia’s nose twitched, and she secretly took a sniff of the aroma.

“Xia Li, you are so good at archery, you could teach people how to shoot arrows.” Lucia said seriously.

She didn’t understand many human professions, but teacher was definitely a common one.

In her previous world, humans who taught swordsmanship and archery had a high status.

“That profession is too niche,” Xia Li said, “And even if I work at an archery range, I have to get an instructor’s certificate at the very least. It’s too much trouble, not worth it.”

Xia Li directly rejected Lucia’s suggestion.

Raising people was fine, but teaching people, forget it. Even if Xia Li had to go out and find a job, he had to find one he liked. Archery was sothing he was forced to learn by his ntor, and he couldn’t say he liked it.

“Xia Li, you always want to develop , but I think you can be developed too.”

Lucia’s dragon brain didn’t know what she was thinking again, and the words she blurted out almost choked Xia Li.

“…Please add the word ‘potential’ after ‘develop’.”

Xia Li said, “I develop… I tap into your potential so that you can integrate into this society. Why do you want to tap into my potential in return?”

“Because the skills you learned in Azure Continent are quite useful.” Lucia whispered.

“Here you go, one fried rice and one fried noodles for you~”

At this ti, the owner brought up two plates of steaming food.

Lucia held the sheep with one hand, her eyes already locked on the food.

“It’s just winning a doll, it’s not really useful.”

Xia Li said as he casually picked up two pairs of disposable chopsticks and broke them apart.

“What I learned there, like fighting, archery, swordsmanship… These things are only good for self-defense in this peaceful era on Earth.

But if we could bring back a magic from Azure Continent, even a short-range X-ray vision magic, we could use scratch-off lottery tickets to buy a house in Shanghai…”

Xia Li muttered. He wanted to tell Lucia that physical strength could at most be used as a construction worker on Earth, and only magic could be a dinsional reduction attack.

However, when Xia Li looked up, he found that Lucia wasn’t listening at all.

This guy had already put the sheep on another chair and was staring intently at the fried rice in front of her.

She looked at the fried rice, then at Xia Li who was still talking.

Her eyes seed to be saying ‘Alright, alright, Master Xia, stop chanting’.

Xia Li: “…”

From now on, any dragon who doesn’t listen to people will be thrown out!

“Here are your chopsticks.”

Lucia, who had gotten her eating utensils, imdiately started to inhale the food like a storm. Xia Li was afraid that she would choke, so he quickly asked the owner for another bottle of mango juice.

Lucia looked at the glass bottle in front of her, then at Xia Li’s bottle.

Without any hesitation, she stole the straw from Xia Li’s soda, stuck it in her own bottle, and then held it up to drink slowly.

Xia Li fell silent when he saw this.

There were so many clean straws, was it necessary to deliberately waste his?
