Alice's Conditions

Alexander was not mentally prepared for this situation.

He forced himself to remain calm.

He threw the item back to Alice and said, "You're already my wife, so why bother about these details?"

The next second.

"Go to hell!"

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shadowless Kick!

Soul Hooking Leg!

Descendants-ending Kick!

Black Tiger Heart-extracting Fist!

...

The scene was too bloody, omitting 10,000 words here.

...

Ten minutes later, a new species with several bumps on its head, looking a bit like Alexander, crawled up from the ground.

Alexander pinched his nose and said, "What kind of trash SSS-level skill is this? It ruins my integrity and reputation!"

Alexander's skill had no usage time restrictions.

The only trouble was that, like opening a blind box, anything could be stolen.

This was his only means of possibly subduing Alice.

Of course, it could also fail and result in a beating.

Like the situation right now...

"Alice, just you wait..."

Alexander didn't dare say it out loud, only muttering to himself.

He was still only level 1 after all.

Without Alice's help, he might never reach the Dragon's Lair.

Even if he wasn't going to slay dragons.

Because the highest level monsters in the beginner village exceeded level 20, and the level of the evil dragon was even higher, being a level 100 hidden boss, no one dared to offend the majesty of the dragon clan, not even Alice.

Many monsters along the way were actively aggressive, posing a threat to human life.

For Alexander to enter the Dragon's Lair was an extremely difficult feat.

When under someone's roof, one had no choice but to bow their head.

"Can we go now?" Alexander asked Alice, looking back.

After some venting, Alice had calmed down quite a bit.

She twirled her finger, tidying up her hair, which had become disheveled due to excessive violence.

The head can be broken, but the hairstyle must remain intact.

Blood can flow, but the temperament must not be lost.

From any angle, Alice was undoubtedly the kawaii goddess.

"First, you have to promise to provide meals."

Alice proposed her final condition.

"No problem, just get me to the Dragon's Lair."

Alexander's thoughts were clear and steady with a hint of cheekiness.

"Deal!"

Alice flew over and kicked Alexander's head with her little foot, sealing the deal.

"I mean, can't you be gentler?" Alexander touched the back of his head.

"What's 'gentle'? I don't know how."

"You're an angel, after all!"

"Ah, that's their business, not mine!"

"With your attitude, you'll never get married!"

"None of your business!"

"..."

A human and an angel.

One walked on the ground, the other flew in the sky.

They chatted about various topics while gradually leaving the beginner village, moving farther and farther away...

Half a day passed in a blink of an eye.

A huge cliff was slowly rising from the horizon.

Alexander stopped and began to study his game map.

He didn't actually know the exact location of the Dragon's Lair.

Because the maps of each beginner village were different.

To find the Dragon's Lair, he had to explore the map and narrow down the area.

The originally pitch-black map was gradually showing new names as he explored deeper.

Green Wind Prairie—Butterfly Plain—Sakura Lake—Rabbit Demon Cave—Hungry Wolf Mountain—Bat Ridge—Abandoned Mine—Thousand Leaf Forest...

With the acceleration of the Silver Running Shoes.

The speed of exploring the map greatly increased.

The places Alexander was looking for were cliffs and...hidden terrain!

"Plains, hills, mines..."

Alexander stared at the map, deep in thought.

Alice was not far away, killing spiders.

"I stomp, stomp, stomp!"

"I stomp, stomp, stomp!"

Alice's method of killing spiders was unique. She didn't burn them or electrocute them but stomped on them with her feet.

She wouldn't be satisfied until the spiders were stomped into a pulp.

"What's the hold-up? How do we get there?" She stomped on spiders while asking Alexander for directions.

"What's the rush? Men can't be too hasty."

Alexander picked up a small stick from the ground and drew an approximate map trajectory.

Then, he drew a circle on a spot without any markings.

"This should be the main city." Alexander looked up into the distance, muttering to himself.

According to the map's monster attributes, the higher the level of the monsters, the closer to the main city.

After reaching level 10, players could go to the main city to change their class, but they would usually use a teleportation circle to get there, not walk through the mountains and valleys.

Alexander could roughly determine the positions of the main city and the beginner village by the monster distribution, further narrowing down the location of the Dragon's Lair.

The Dragon's Lair would be far away from both the beginner village and the main city.

Only in the later stages of the game would players venture into high-level maps to find the top dragons dominating their territory.

At this stage, the dragons had just spawned, and they were still laying eggs and reproducing.

"First, let's rule out this cliff in front of us. Then, the Dragon's Lair must be in...Thousand Leaf Forest!"

Alexander slapped his forehead, suddenly enlightened.

No one knows dragons better than I do!

"What are we waiting for? Let's get going!" Alice shouted.

"Alright."

Alexander looked at the spider corpses scattered all over the ground, hesitated no more, and hurried towards Thousand Leaf Forest.

Three hours later...

Alexander returned to the spider-killing spot.

At this point, his appearance had changed significantly.

His lips, cheeks, and the corners of his eyes were swollen like buns.

His eyes could hardly be seen anymore.

His entire face looked like it had a "hip-hop" special effect.

Alice roared in anger, "What dragon? Where is the dragon? They're all bees!"

"Little bees, big bees, killer bees, hornets, all kinds of bees!"

"I'm so mad! You're even dumber than me, you directionally-challenged idiot!"

"Can you even lead the way? Weren't you the one who knows dragons the best?"

"I don't believe you at all! You're a genuine directionally-challenged idiot!"

...

Alexander studied the map on the ground again.

Under his swollen eyes, he could vaguely see the contours of the map.

"If it's not Thousand Leaf Forest, could it be...the mine?"

"No, that's not right. The mine only spawns skeletons and zombies."

"It could also be Ghosts."

"Dragons definitely wouldn't be in the mine."

Alexander was sure that dragons absolutely would not be in the mine.

"Do you know or not?" Alice asked, exasperated.

"I do know, why wouldn't I? Men can't not know!" Alexander stubbornly tried to save face.

Alice grabbed Alexander's ear, pointing to a cave on a distant cliff.

"Open your eyes and take a look. What's that?"

On the cliff, a shadow swept by, and something flew out.

"Are you sure you want to rule out this cliff first, rather than ruling out the correct answer?"

High on the cliff, the shadow circled in the sky, letting out dragon roars.

These weren't majestic roars but very angry growls.

It was also a warning to other creatures.

Beware of the dragon inside, trespassers stay away!

After circling for a while, the dragon flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

"See, I told you. The dragon's lair must be on the cliff. What do you say?" Alexander grabbed Alice's wing.

One pulled an ear, and the other pulled a wing.

After a round of in-depth and superficial emotional exchanges.

Alice snorted.

Alexander held his swollen face, and they both let go.

Without further delay, Alexander headed quickly towards the location of the Dragon's Lair.
