In his slumber, David Jones had no idea that when he fell asleep, the naive Rainbow mustered the courage to initiate her attack and greatly increased her affection for him.

At this moment, in the brightly-lit warm room, on the soft, neat bed, lay an adorable little snake with eyes like crystals, seemingly worried and anxious.

Her petite, slender tail followed David Jones’s breathing, gently wiping the sweat off his face.

For the first time, David Jones felt that his eyelids were so heavy. He frowned and struggled to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Rainbow’s crystal-clear eyes.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, “Did I faint from exhaustion?” David Jones immediately snapped back into reality.

“Eeeek!” <(• ‘v ‘ •) (You’re awake!)

Seeing her Trainer awake, Rainbow cheerfully raised her head.

Moved by her affection, David Jones couldn’t help but smile, his eyes filled with gratitude. He even forgot to check the Dragon Crystal in his hand.

Feeling David Jones’s gaze, Rainbow tensed up. When she realized what was happening, she quickly curled up her body.

“It’s okay, don’t hide. I didn’t expect you to care about me so much!”

“Yah!”(T^v#) (No!)

Rainbow’s eyes suddenly filled with panic, unsure of how to face it. Instead of responding, she hid her head under the quilt like an ostrich, with her back facing David Jones.

“What a dishonest child, only acting spoiled when being strengthened.” David Jones sighed helplessly in his heart.

Although clear about the situation, David Jones did not expose her insincerity.

After all, seeing Rainbow’s exhausted appearance, she must have guarded him all night. He decided to let her rest for now.

Gently rubbing his sore forehead and feeling the aches of his muscles, David Jones couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He had been completely drained of his strength!

Raising his left hand, David Jones stared at the small Primary Dragon Crystal in his palm, frowning in confusion.

“Why did the creation of the Dragon Crystal last night consume so much energy? I clearly reserved enough strength to strengthen once.”

With his brain still aching, David Jones gave up on pondering and put the Dragon Crystal into a close-fitting jade box. Unable to resist the overwhelming fatigue, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

He slept straight through until late afternoon the next day.

If it hadn’t been for his rumbling stomach, David Jones even thought that he could sleep for another day and night.

When he finally regained his strength, David Jones filled his stomach before feeding Rainbow.

After the meal, David Jones didn’t start cultivating but decided to study his new Second Talent first.

The accident from the previous night could only happen once. He didn’t want the same thing to happen when he made Dragon Crystals in the future.

He couldn’t afford another such experience; one more would cost him his life.

“Rainbow, come here for a moment.”

David Jones recorded the process of making the Dragon Crystal from the night before with a pen in his hand, and called out to Rainbow, who was engrossed in watching television.

“Eh.” Hearing him, Rainbow propelled herself next to David Jones with force from her tail.

Writing sloppily with a ballpoint pen in the language from his previous life, David Jones patted the curious Rainbow’s head. He looked at the finished data with a slight frown.

When awakening his talent, the first time he made a Dragon Crystal, it took a minute and consumed nearly half of his strength. Subsequent enhancements to the Dragon Crystal also took a minute and would use up the rest of his strength.

During this year, day after day of strengthening Dragon Crystals had continuously improved David Jones’s physical fitness, with the number of enhancements per day increasing from two to five, lasting a total of five minutes.

Especially after advancing to Class II of the Arcane Star, his dragon-wielding power had greatly increased, but unfortunately, his current strength could still only sustain him for five minutes of enhancement. It seemed as if the increase in power from leveling up was merely compensating for the consumption of the enhanced Dragon Force.

David shook his head, as the process of making the Dragon Crystal last night had not changed at all. Knowledge could only come from practice, so it seemed that it was time to make another Dragon Crystal.

However, before condensing the Dragon Crystal, he needed to strengthen Rainbow first as a reference, which would also provide a clear understanding of the strength he needed to consume when making a Dragon Crystal at this point.

David gently stroked Rainbow’s body and activated his talent with a thought.

Feeling her strength gradually increasing, Rainbow opened her mouth slightly in a contented manner.

After completing the enhancement, David closed his eyes and carefully checked his consumption of strength.

Once he was sure he still had enough strength, he restarted the process of making the Dragon Crystal.

A minute later, David stared intently at the gleaming Primary Dragon Crystal in his palm, his face showing a hint of confusion and surprise.

“Everything is normal, was last night just an accident?”

David took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil inside him. After all, this Dragon Crystal was only the third one he had made, which didn’t necessarily mean anything.

Comparing the newly made Dragon Crystal with the one from last night, both were the size of rice grains. The only difference was that the latter’s color was slightly darker.

Unwilling to believe, David used his Identification talent. His eyes were filled with doubt as he looked at the two Primary Dragon Crystals’ effects, which were almost identical.

If the two Dragon Crystals had any difference, perhaps it was that the darker one had been strengthened one more time?

David scratched his head; with his heart full of confusion, he decided to continue making Dragon Crystals. He would not rest until he solved this problem today.

Three minutes later, a drained David stared blankly at the four crystal-clear Primary Dragon Crystals in front of him.

The process of making the Dragon Crystals tonight went very smoothly, so smoothly that he couldn’t believe it.

Overwhelmed by the situation, David didn’t know that Rainbow was looking at him with shocked eyes, as he produced Dragon Crystals as easily as drinking water.

”???”

Shock filled Rainbow’s eyes as she unconsciously raised her upper body, her little snake mouth slightly open, and a huge question mark hidden in her little head, her face full of surprise.

Last night, just to make one tasty treat, the Trainer in front of her had exhausted himself and passed out for a day. Why is it that tonight, he casually made three tasty treats? Was this what the humans called getting stronger?

David, who was never able to figure out the reason, let out a helpless sigh. He shook his head, then saw Rainbow standing upright.

His pupils suddenly shrank, remembering that Rainbow’s enhancement had only been done once tonight due to the experiment.

Left with no choice, a powerless David gave Rainbow a guilty smile.

“I still owe you three enhancements today, can I pay them later?”

“Yi ya!” (-” – angry) (Not allowed)

Rainbow’s eyes immediately glared at David, her vivid imagination running wild.

This dragon-wielding Trainer was something else; today, he could give up on the enhancement agreement with her, tomorrow, he could give up on their Beast Taming Contract!

“Yi ya, yi yi ya!” (▼ ▼ #) (No, absolutely not!)
