The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1502 No Points?

Jin tapped his chin as he considered their future. They were clearly growing well enough without experience point bonuses, and their system didnʼt seem to use them.

So, maybe it was more like the Cultivation-based Systems, or natural

progression, where you had to build your power level without the assistance of bonuses?

That could take forever. Some of those Systems needed an eternal lifespan just to reach the Supreme Rank.

His own System was based on clearly defined levels. It was concise, tidy, and predictable. His growth as a dragon was simply a bonus on top of his Class bonuses, reinforcing the supremacy of dragons versus the lesser species at the same level.

”Take your payment sheet to the warehouse manager and exchange for credits, and you can come back later to buy what you need. I will show you the important spots around town once youʼve got the payment recorded.”

Jinʼs urgent tone told Karl that there was a risk of theft if he didnʼt turn it in, though he had it in his inventory.

Presumably, the usual method involved extortion, or a specialized skill. Cara had [Pilfer], but as far as Karl knew, it only worked on things that were physically on the target, not in their inventory.

Karl stepped into the warehouse, and a young woman with bubblegum pink hair waved both hands in greeting. All he could think was that this had to be an Immortal Green Dragon Cleric.

Nobody else had quite that brand of insanity.

But when he got close, he realized he was not quite right. Her name was Min, and could see her System Interface. She was a Druid, not a Cleric.

But she was a Green Dragon.

”Hi! Welcome to the New Home Merchant Clan. Did you have something to exchange for credits?”

Karl smiled at her and nodded. ”Indeed. I traded the Alchemy Elder for some materials, and he gave me a payment sheet to turn in.”

He handed her the sheet, and the dragonʼs eyes got big.

”What did you trade him? Even if you sold an acolyteʼs life savings, you wouldnʼt get half this much.”

Karl laughed at the way she was practically vibrating with excitement.

”I had a rare plant that he needed for his work. It just happened to be worth quite a bit. I take it that I shouldnʼt have any issues buying basic upgrades for the apartment that my Dana Mage and I are staying in with that?”

The dragon nodded repeatedly. ”Yes, you could buy anything you want for your Dana Mage with that. Is she decorative, or is she also planning to reach Immortality?”

Behind him, Dana laughed and waved at the dragon. ”Iʼm already Immortal. Heʼs talking about his wife, not his pet.”

”Oh, I misunderstood. Hello, Dana Mage. I love your ears.”

”Thanks. I love your hair, that colour suits you.”

The dragon vaulted over the counter to give Dana a hug, and Jin had to restrain his laughter as Dana made a new friend.

Whether she wanted one or not.

Then, the dragon waved at Nyan, who was waiting quietly at the door.

”You brought me all the fluffy ears today. And a bird. Is he friendly?”

”Are you fond of water magic?”

The dragon considered that question much more carefully than he had expected, but came to a solid conclusion.

”Water is alright, but I actually prefer a sand scrub to get my scales clean. Nice

hot sand gets you polished clean, and relaxes the muscles.”

Hawk nodded in appreciation. This dragon wasnʼt too bad.

”Why is he a Phoenix, but looks like a Demonic Crow?” She asked.

”Because a Phoenix doesnʼt fit in the room.”

The cashier blinked slowly, then her eyes lit up in understanding.

”Itʼs a skill, he learned a transformation skill so that he could go all the places. That is wonderful. I wish that I had a transformation skill. I could be a bunny and sneak into the dorms and get all the bunny hugs.”

”That sounds like a safety hazard. For them.” Jin noted dryly.

”Bah, when was the last time that a Green Dragon harmed anything fluffy and inedible?”

”The lady makes a good point.” Karl agreed.

Nyan giggled and pointed at Karl. ”You need to make friends with him, not the Dana Mage. Heʼs got some sort of fluff magnetism. Fluffy things canʼt resist him. I saw him give head pats to a dining hall server just this morning.”

The pure envy on the dragonʼs face was unmistakable.

”There is a skill that you can learn if the Clan Hall has it. The name is [If not friend, why friend shaped?] and it will keep the bunnies from running away

from you.”

The green dragon sighed sadly. ”Only clerics can use it. They have it, and I canʼt use it. Not even as a Druid, which is so close that I can normally use Cleric skill

books.”

Then she returned to her desk and entered the information from the payment slip, before filing it away in a cabinet under her desk.

”All done. My name is Min, and I work here from one hour before dawn until

noon every day if you want to come visit me again.”

”We certainly will. We have crafting skills, so your appraisal skills will be

invaluable to us in the future.” Karl agreed.

Min took out a pair of glasses, and stared at Dana for a moment, then smiled. ”I

donʼt know who Lady Rae Bloodbath is, but I can see that all the other gear she

is wearing was made by you at the Mythic Rank.”

”Lady Rae is a bonded partner of mine, an Immortal Spider type beast. Itʼs a specialty of my class.”

”Oh, right. The Chaos Badger is your partner as well, right? I heard that she pulled Amaldorʼs beard in a duel then convinced him to let her take his class, even though sheʼs already a proper Immortal.”

”I think theyʼre actually going to be good friends. Theyʼre both proponents of the {Just punch him in the face} school of negotiation.” Karl agreed. Nyan stuck her head in the door. ”You should go meet her after your shift. I bet her ears are super soft.”

Min laughed at the catgirl. ”I bet they are. But Iʼm a Green Dragon, not stupid. Petting badgers is a tricky proposition.”
