[Ding! The quest is complete.]
[Ding! Host has received 100 System EXP, 100 Cultivation EXP, and an Origin Dragon Bloodline (Incomplete) card. Host can find the card in the inventory.]
[Ding! System has leveled up.]
[Ding! System Intelligence has been unlocked.]
[Ding! Cultivation EXP failed to be allocated. Reason: Host still hasn't started cultivation yet.]
[Ding! Cultivation EXP will be stored for now and will be allocated once Host has started cultivation.]
A series of notifications popped up.
'Origin Dragon Bloodline? System Intelligence?'
As two questions flashed through his mind, the system greeted him.
[Hello, Host. The system is now at your service.]
"Hmm?" his eyes widened in shock.
'You can talk now?'
He had tried to communicate with his system three times before, but he always got no response.
[Yes, Host. The system can assist you in everything directly now.]
'Then, tell me. Who teleported us to this world?'
This was the most important question, so he asked it immediately.
[The system has no authority to answer that question, Host. But Host will find the answer when you are among the top of this world hierarchy.]
'Among the top? Does that mean someone from this world summoned us?'
He touched his chin.
'If so, why are we in the forest instead of the summoning site?'
He suddenly thought of another possibility.
'Is it a Divine being?'
[The system suggests Host focus on getting stronger first. Everything will naturally be revealed one by one.]
'System, where am I?'
[You are currently on the Aetherion planet, Host.]
'Aetherion?'
He suddenly wondered if Aetherion was still in the same universe as Earth because he had never heard of it before.
[The system can't provide more information than that. For now, the system can only assist Host in decision-making and answering system-related questions. The data will only be updated once the system reaches a certain level.]
'System-related questions? Then, tell me about the quest.'
He was curious about it because Shen Yueyan's system seemed to have no quest.
[Host, a quest will be triggered when you are in a certain situation.]
The system began explaining the rewards.
His system said System EXP was used to level up his system, while Cultivation EXP was to help him break through to the next rank faster.
As for the card, it would give him a random reward such as a skill book, a magical item, or something else.
[The harder the quest, the better the rewards. However, not all problems or difficult situations will trigger a quest, Host.]
'What about the system feature?'
This was really important as it could help him and his binding partner in cultivation.
[System feature will be unlocked at a certain level, not every level.]
'I see.'
He was a little disappointed because there was no guarantee that he would get a new feature after leveling up his system.
But even so, he didn't complain, as not everyone was given a cheat like him.
'Oh, right! Nurse Shen!'
He stopped asking questions the moment he remembered Shen Yueyan because she was alone.
At the same time, Shen Yueyan was waiting for him with anxious feelings. She remained in the same place because this way, he could find her immediately.
'I'm sure he is fine! I'm sure he can survive.'
She kept saying positive things in her mind because it was the only way to suppress her fear of losing him.
'If only I had learned martial arts… if only my system were fighting type…'
They had promised to return home together, so she felt sad every time they were in danger because she could only rely on him to survive.
Sure, Healing System was useful, but she preferred to stand by his side because, this way, she could lessen his burden.
As her heart was pounding with anxiety, the sound of footsteps reached her ears.
The moment she knew who it was, she rushed to that person right away.
"Student Ling!" She embraced him and buried her face in his chest.
At this moment, she was both happy and relieved because he was still alive.
Ling Tian's eyes widened in shock.
But in the next second, his surprised face turned into a smile. "I'm back, Nurse Shen."
She stopped the hug and circled him slowly, checking his body carefully. The moment she saw blood on his back, she immediately told him to take off his T-shirt and sit on the ground.
Ling Tian listened without saying a single word because he knew how worried she was.
"Nurse Shen, my system has unlocked the System Intelligence feature. It can talk to me now." He informed her.
She stopped treating him for a second before continuing. "Do you get any information about this world or who teleported us?"
"We are on the Aetherion planet." He began telling her about his conversation with his system.
He knew some people would call him stupid for revealing everything, but everyone had a different perspective.
They were alone in the unknown world and could only rely on each other, so he would not hide something as important as the quest and the rewards because it could help them greatly.
He also didn't need to lie when he suddenly had magical items in the future, so it was also good for him.
"It seems like our only choice to return home is to grow stronger." Actually, she had already guessed that the rule in this world was completely different from Earth. "So, what will you do with that card?"
Instead of answering immediately, he asked, "What do you think?"
"Ask your system about the advantages and disadvantages first," she replied. "After that, you can decide."
Ling Tian nodded and asked his system a few questions.
"How is it?" she inquired.
"My system said there is no disadvantage," he gave an honest answer. "But it will change my race from human to half-human, half-dragon."
"Will your body change later?" she threw another question at him.
"It's an incomplete bloodline, so it only makes my body stronger and heals faster than normal." He told her that all innate abilities of the dragon race were sealed.
He needed to awaken his bloodline completely to unlock them.
"If so, then activate the card once your wounds heal completely." She didn't recommend that he use the card right away because she was afraid that something bad would happen when his body was transformed.
"I will activate the card tomorrow then." His injuries were not serious, so he believed he would heal completely tomorrow.
"Good!" she nodded.
After treating him and giving him an elixir, they began looking for something edible.
Maybe it was because the gods took pity on them, or perhaps because they were lucky. At that time, they managed to catch two small deer and found several fruits.
On their way to the house, they also looked for firewood. They decided to stay in the wooden house because he was still injured.
After lighting the fire pit, they had dinner together. When they were sleepy, they immediately rested on the bamboo bed.
"Ouch!" he felt pain when he lay on his back.
He tried to sleep sideways, but it was still the same because his hands were also injured.
Shen Yueyan turned to him and tapped her chest gently. "Student Ling, come here and sleep on my chest."
His eyes widened for a second.
'What?!'
He was startled by her words.
"Your wounds will get worse if you sleep on your back." He was injured because he protected her, so she didn't mind it.
"Ehm! Since you insist, then I will accept it." He lay on top of her and placed his head between her breasts.
Shen Yueyan was a gorgeous lady with big breasts and a flawless body. Only fools would refuse her offer.
Ling Tian was not a fool, so he agreed right away.
"It seems like I will have a good dream tonight." He knew that he looked like a pervert, but he didn't care about it.
"Hehe." She giggled softly.
When he was closing his eyes, Shen Yueyan caressed his hair gently and looked at him lovingly.
'Good night, student Ling. Have a nice dream.'
