Looking at the remaining luck points that he has, Alex's mouth hangs open.
"How come I don't have anymore luck points?!"
Alex turned his head to Paula and asked, "Hey, how long was I out when I drank the essence blood?"
Paula was confused by Alex's sudden question but she still answered.
"I think that lasted for about roughly an hour or more."
Alex was dumbfounded after hearing that.
"An hour? I only had around 3 thousand luck points when I arrived here. That means, it could only last for around 50 minutes or so."
"So, that's why all my luck points have vanished, huh…"
After learning the reason, Alex could only let out a sigh.
Those luck points could be said to be the fruit of his hard work when he was in the Trial Tower.
For them to all disappear right after he leaves the tower, Alex felt a bit depressed.
Shaking his head, Alex stopped thinking about it.
'Since it's gone, then it's gone, at least it went to good use.' He thought.
Alex recovered his calm and turned his attention back to Paula and said, "Well, I just checked for new skills and I found three."
Hearing that, Paula said, "Can you tell me their names?"
Alex nodded, "Sure. I got [Dragon Tongue], [Transformation], and [Dragon Life]."
After he read out the names of his new skills, Alex's eyes looked back to Paula and waited for her to say something.
When Paula and Azul heard the new skills that Alex acquired, both of their eyes lit up.
""[Dragon Life]!""
They exclaimed at the same time.
This is because [Dragon Life] is the skill that they needed in order to awaken their father.
It took them a long time of searching from books in various places just to learn this.
Anyway, now that they finally found someone who possesses the skill [Dragon Life] the two could only be happy at the thought of finally curing their father.
Seeing their reaction, Alex raised an eyebrow and guessed, "So, that must be it, [Dragon Life] is the skill that you need."
The two nodded at the same time.
Azul, who's still unfamiliar with Alex, stepped forward and walked closer to him, saying, "This is great, please immediately save our father!"
Paula also went closer and looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Seeing that, Alex shrugged and said, "That's why I'm here to begin with."
"Anyway, you guys will reward me for this, right?"
The two nodded repeatedly, as if to assure Alex.
Alex approached the bed where Borong Leonel was lying.
Before he did anything, Alex first looked at the skill description of [Dragon Life].
[Dragon Life]
[Rank: SS]
[Effects: Pull out vitality from the Dragon realm and imbue it to your mana to heal a target from any wounds or curses. Can be used to revive someone who died for less than 10 minutes.]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Consumption: None]
…
Alex looked at the skill effect and his eyes immediately widened in surprise.
"Wait, I can revive the dead with this skill?!"
Alex murmured, feeling shock in his whole being.
Reviving a dead person is nothing but a dream to anyone in the real world.
Such a thing that defies the laws of life and death can only exist in the imaginations of the people in the past.
Even after Alex came to this world, he never imagined that he would someday possess such a miraculous power!
Alex took a deep breath to calm himself.
"Calm down, calm down. This is nothing, just relax."
After some self-talk, Alex's face became serious and focused his thoughts on the man on the bed.
Taking a deep breath, Alex raised his hand, faced his palm at Borong and casted the skill.
"[Dragon Life]!"
The next moment, a milky white light started shining from Alex's palm.
Then, white strings started stretching out, heading towards Borong.
When Paula recovered, she immediately saw Alex staring at her.
She was startled, "Ah! Why are you staring at me?"
Scratching his head, Alex replied, "I was just wondering what's the matter with you all."
"What do you mean?"
Alex pointed at Angelica and the three boys who still have their eyes closed as if they are experiencing comfort.
Paula followed Alex's finger and saw the faces of the four kids.
Then, she realized what Alex was talking about.
pandasnovel.com "Ah! Was I also acting like them earlier?"
Alex nodded, "Yeah, that's why I can't help but become curious as to what happened to you all."
Paula nodded in understanding.
Organizing her words, Paula explained to Alex what just happened and the golden light from his eyes.
"What? There was really something like that?"
Alex was baffled after hearing it.
Paula nodded again to confirm.
Sighing, Alex shook his head and got rid of those thoughts.
"Well, that's not important right now."
Hearing Alex's words, Paula remembered what they were doing here.
"Right, that's not important right now. So, tell me, did you get the skill?"
Paula impatiently asked Alex.
To her question, Alex calmly shook his head, "No, I didn't get the skill."
Immediately, Paula's mood fell to the bottom and disappointment was all over her face.
When Alex saw that, he was silent for a second before sighing and saying, "Why are you already like that? I'm not finished talking yet."
Hearing his words, Paula slowly raised her head and there's a questioning look in her eyes.
Seeing her appearance, Alex can't help but let out another sigh.
Alex didn't beat around the bushes any longer and said, "What I mean is, it's true that I didn't get the skill."
"Because, I was able to get the Draconian Bloodline!"
Paula remained still for a while as if she didn't hear Alex's words.
But when it finally synced in, she snapped her head in Alex's direction and jumped out of her seat.
"What?! Are you serious?!"
With wide eyes, Paula appeared in front of Alex and held both of his shoulders.
Seeing Paula's intense reaction, Alex nodded.
"Yeah, it's real. I told you, didn't I, my luck is pretty extraordinary." Alex said casually.
Paula looked at Alex in disbelief.
There was only 0.01% probability of successfully obtaining the bloodline when the essence blood is taken.
The chance of dying from it has thousands times higher the probability of occuring than getting that bloodline.
For one to really get it, their luck has already passed being just extraordinary, it could only be described as monstrous!
Paula looked at Alex with astonished eyes.
After a couple of seconds, Paula calmed down and went back to her seat.
However, her eyes were fixed on Alex the whole time, as if afraid that she'll miss something if she looks away for even a second.
Her behavior could only make Alex let out a sigh.
Shaking his head, Alex looked at her and said, "Anyway, now that I already consumed the [Pureblood Dragon's Essence Blood] and survived, that means I completed the quest, right?"
"Ah, that's right. Wait, I'll just confirm."
Saying that, Paula started fiddling her system interface.
After a few seconds, a new notification appeared in front of Alex.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations for completing the quest 'Suicidal Task'.]
[Your reward, Upgrade Card, has been placed in your inventory.]
…
Seeing that, Alex smiled happily.
After looking at it for a while, Alex dismissed the interface and turned his gaze back to Paula.
Playing with his fingers, he said, "Now that I managed to obtain the 'Draconian' Bloodline, I guess it's time for us to talk about your real purpose, right?"
Immediately, Paula's face became serious.
Paula didn't say anything for a while and the two of them stared at each other, making the room eerily silent.
On the side, Angelica and the three other kids, who already recovered from their daze, pursed their mouths and also kept silent.
After a while, Paula stood up and said, "Follow me."
Without waiting for Alex to respond, Paula already went ahead, heading toward one of the few rooms in this hut.
Alex didn't immediately follow Paula, but looked at Angelica and her brothers first.
He said, "You four should just stay here and behave until we come back, okay? I just need to finish this, then we'll continue our journey."
Nodding their heads like good kids, the four replied in unison, "Okay, Brother Zero!"
Alex smiled at them gently before he stood up and followed Paula.
At this time, Paula is already standing in front of the door of the room, waiting for Alex.
When Alex finally came, Paula seriously said, "Behind this door, my dad, who's been in a coma, is resting."
Alex nodded in understanding.
Paula continued, "Since you have successfully obtained what needs to be obtained, it is now time I tell you why we needed that."
Saying that, Paula started narrating to Alex about what happened to her father, why they started Dragon Diner, and the search for someone who can successfully acquire the necessary skill to cure their father.
