Chapter 21: Dragon? What dragon? Isn’t this yours?

Su Chen’s response to this question was unexpected.

Liu Mengyue seriously considered the matter.

Dragons were extremely rare.

No one knew exactly how they came into existence.

Perhaps they had been hidden away for a long time.

Their combat power was almost unparalleled.

Humans could not possibly be a match for dragons.

Therefore, wanting a dragon was essentially impossible.

Moreover, Su Chen had just recently awakened.

It was impossible for him to ride a dragon relying solely on his own strength.

From the information available, Su Chen was an orphan, with his parents’ cause of death unknown.

It was impossible for him to receive any help.

He also had no other family members.

This was all information from the Night Bureau.

It could not be wrong.

Considering all these factors, What Su Chen said should be true.

“Now I understand!”

Liu Mengyue chose to believe Su Chen’s words.

Because apart from this situation, Liu Mengyue truly could not think of why Su Chen would lie.

Although it was just a small dragon, It was still beyond what he could achieve.

“Let me formally introduce myself, I am Liu Mengyue from the Night Bureau.”

Liu Mengyue introduced herself.

Su Chen was somewhat surprised.

He had heard of this name before.

Liu Mengyue was the highest leader of the entire Night Bureau.

What surprised Su Chen was that Liu Mengyue was so young.

“Su Chen, Baiyue High School student!”

Su Chen casually stated.

“Do you want to know why I brought you here?”

Liu Mengyue asked.

Su Chen shook his head, “I don’t want to.”

He thought, “Heh, trying to trap me? I won’t fall for it.”

What a bad woman.

Liu Mengyue was left speechless.

It seemed that the shadow cast over Su Chen was quite significant.

“Do you really not want to know at all? Perhaps there are many secrets in the Night Bureau that you would like to know!”

Liu Mengyue said lightly.

Su Chen remained silent.

He had no interest in any secrets!

They had just fabricated a baseless accusation to bring him in.

Although Su Chen knew it was a test, He was still unhappy!

“Then I don’t want to know either; I don’t want to be sentenced to death!”

Su Chen deliberately emphasized the words “death sentence”!

He wanted to let Liu Mengyue know that he was quite petty!

Hmph!

“Regarding what just happened, I think any smart person would know it was merely a test. You can also consider it a performance for others, after all, there are many eyes watching here!”

Liu Mengyue said softly, her tone seemingly carrying some apology.

Su Chen could understand this, as anyone could enter the Night Bureau without issue.

However, if an Awakened individual was present, their status would plummet!

After a pause, Liu Mengyue looked at Su Chen, “Joining the Night Bureau would allow you to know many things about it.”

“I’m still a student; it’s better for me not to know!”

Su Chen replied.

Alright!

Su Chen was still quite interested!

Moreover, he had his own considerations!

Although joining the Night Bureau was the dream of almost all Awakened individuals, with the support of such a large organization behind him, He could learn many things that ordinary Awakened individuals could not access, such as various methods of enhancing abilities controlled by the state.

Various Secret Realms, and some even said that the state had conducted research on them.

Of course!

These opportunities would not be given to idle Awakened individuals, as they were like ticking time bombs, unpredictable in when they might explode.

Not all Awakened individuals were good people.

However, Su Chen did not want anyone to know that his dragon was Chu Muxue.

If that were the case, it could pose a danger to Chu Muxue.

“It’s just a nominal membership; when there are missions, they will find you. If there’s no time, you can choose not to go. Also…”

Liu Mengyue said, taking out a spirit bead, “Joining the Night Bureau allows you to receive five rank 1 spirit beads each month. Completing missions can even earn you higher-ranked spirit beads or those carried by others.”

“Spirit beads!”

When Su Chen saw the spirit bead, He felt somewhat tempted.

Currently, he could only receive one rank 1 spirit bead per month from school.

If he joined the Night Bureau, he would receive five in a month.

That added up to

Su Chen would have six rank 1 spirit beads.

That was already more than enough for cultivation.

However…

Su Chen currently had the System.

If the System opened a bronze treasure chest, It would at least yield a Rank 4 spirit bead.

This meant that the five spirit beads offered now were not very enticing to Su Chen.

“I really am still a student.”

Su Chen declined.

If he didn’t have the System, He would have definitely accepted.

But now that he had the System, Su Chen could negotiate.

“Too little?”

Liu Mengyue asked in response.
