Yalin stood at the classroom door, taking a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter given to him by his mother. The creature that once existed only in legends now stood right before him, within reach!
A giant white dragon!
Its body, estimated to be over 100 meters long, resembled a small hill. Its scales were as white as the finest jade, exquisitely beautiful and incredibly hard. The dragon's forehead, raised high, bore a dragon horn as beautiful as crystal, pointing straight to the sky. The white dragon flapped its powerful wings, and a cold, icy aura surged out, freezing the air.
When the dragon noticed the small figure below, it slowly lowered its head and spoke in a mechanical, cold voice: "My master, please give your command."
Yalin gently stroked the dragon's forehead. This was his first creation, a loyal subject. Yalin felt a deep sense of satisfaction and asked, "Name... Do you have a name?"
The white dragon shook its head gently.
Yalin patted the dragon's forehead and said, "Can you transform into my current form? It's a bit inconvenient to talk like this."
The giant white dragon raised its head again, and with a burst of white light, its massive body disappeared. A tall man in silver armor now knelt before Yalin.
Yalin took a deep breath and gazed at the distant mountains covered in snow and ice. Through the memories of the King of White Dragons, images of the mountains' past slowly emerged in his mind. The ruins stood tall once more, displaying their former grandeur and splendor. White dragons flew in the sky, their deep roars adding to the epic scene.
This was not something any CG or human imagination could achieve. Yalin could bring this past scene back to reality!
"Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!" Yalin laughed aloud, looking up at the sky. "I really have to thank you, 'Panda.' This is the best surprise you've ever given me!"
One day, he would bring this scenery back to life, not just as a fleeting image in his mind. Yalin clenched his fists and said to the white dragon behind him, "Klafelrig! From today, this is your name."
Klafelrig nodded and said, "I understand, my master. Klafelrig swears loyalty to you."
"Very good!" Yalin rubbed his hands together, excited. "To restore the glory of the White Dragon Clan, we need more than just the two of us. System! Summon three adult white dragons!"
<System Prompt: Summoning 3 adult white dragons requires 144,000 soul energy points! Confirm?>
"Of course, summon them here!"
Three giant white dragons appeared before Yalin, each swearing loyalty in the same mechanical, cold tone...
Yalin, now somewhat in a frenzy, was about to summon more white dragons when a voice with an electronic tone interrupted him: "I have kept you waiting, my master. The summoning system assistant greets you!"
Summoning system assistant? Right! Yalin remembered that 'Panda' had mentioned a helpful assistant. Yalin's main consciousness returned to the sealed sanctuary inside the mountain, and a Q-version of a very cute white dragon appeared, bowing respectfully to Yalin.
"Are you the assistant 'Panda' mentioned?"
"Yes, my master. From now on, I will answer any questions you have about this system."
Yalin tilted his head, somewhat sarcastically, and said, "I've been using this system for almost half an hour now..."
"I apologize, my master. The system contains a vast amount of data, so it takes some time to load."
"Alright!" Yalin said nonchalantly. "No problem. If you need to explain the summoning system, start now, but try to be concise. I don't like long-winded explanations."
The Q-version white dragon flapped its wings and said, "As you wish, my master! I will begin the explanation..."
Just as the white dragon was about to start, Yalin gestured for it to wait and said, "Can you change your tone? Your electronic voice makes me uncomfortable."
"Of course, my master. What kind of tone would you prefer?"
Hmm... After a moment's thought, Yalin grinned and said, "A cuter, more adorable voice!"
"Yes, my master!" A sweet, girlish voice came from the Q-version white dragon.
Oh my... Yalin shivered. He realized that the so-called "cute" voices he had heard before were nothing compared to this. This was truly the epitome of a cute voice, with no sense of artificiality, completely immersing him in its charm.
"Master! Is this satisfactory?"
Well! Yalin had to admit that if this voice appeared in his previous world, it would immediately attract a large number of voice enthusiasts. Unfortunately, he was not one of them. As the ancient King of White Dragons, having an assistant with a sweet, girlish voice would feel strange.
"Change your voice again, preferably to a deeper, more stable tone, like that of an ancient sage, with the dignity of a dragon. Also, change your appearance to match this tone."
"Yes, my respected master!" The Q-version white dragon disappeared, replaced by a young man in a splendid mage's robe, with a calm and composed face and wise eyes, wearing a pair of delicate gold-rimmed glasses, inspiring respect.
Yalin nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Do you have a name?"
"Nemo!" The young man nodded respectfully. "You can call me that."
"Very good! Nemo, you can start explaining now."
Nemo elegantly bowed and said, "I will first explain the methods for obtaining the energy needed to summon life and resources. Master, you may have noticed that when you opened the system, it displayed your current energy. The initial resource energy is 1,000,000 (one million), and the initial soul energy is 8,000..."
Nemo's voice suddenly stopped, and after a brief pause, he asked softly, "My respected master, have you already used the system to summon?"
Yalin numbly nodded and said, "I summoned four adult white dragons..."
As he said this, Yalin slowly calmed down from his frenzy and realized he might have made a rookie mistake. Nemo's next words confirmed his suspicions.
"Actually, my respected master, resource energy can be used to exchange for food, weapons, armor, and any other necessities you need. Resource energy can be obtained by mining various minerals in this world. Soul energy, on the other hand, is used to create life forms and cannot be obtained by converting other life forms. Soul energy is restored automatically, a little at a time, and each point is very precious."
Yalin was stunned, standing there for a long time before asking, "How much energy is restored per day?"
"Currently, soul energy is restored at a rate of 5 points per hour, 120 points per day."
Damn! Yalin couldn't help but curse 'Panda' for playing a trick on him. 120 points per day! A dragon required how much? Each adult white dragon he summoned consumed 48,000 soul energy points, meaning he would need to save for over a year to summon another dragon.
Currently... Yalin recalled Nemo's words, "Currently, 5 points per hour... So there are ways to increase the soul energy recovery rate, right?"
"Of course," Nemo said, adjusting his glasses. "As your level increases, the soul energy recovery rate will improve. The Creator has also scattered many soul stones throughout the world, and finding these soul stones can also increase the recovery rate."
"But I'm in a bit of trouble now..." Yalin sighed, thinking of another pressing issue.
Nemo nodded, somewhat helplessly but also with relief, and said, "Yes, my noble master. Although you used a lot of soul energy at the beginning, the remaining energy is still sufficient for the development of your territory, though the process may be slower."
It was like playing a real-time strategy game. Yalin had started by using his resources to summon high-level units instead of miners, and now he realized he didn't have the resources to create the most basic miners. However, he still had enough resources to build miners... though only 8,000 soul energy points remained.
With Nemo's help, Yalin learned how to check his own attributes:
Name: Yalin
Race: White Dragon
Class: King of White Dragons
Level: LV1
Experience: 1920/2000
Mana: 34000/34000
Strength: ???
Agility: ???
Spirit: ???
Wisdom: ???
Constitution: ???
Elemental Creature Control: 0/3000
Special Skills: Immunity to Water and Frost Spells, Immunity to Mind Control, Increased Poison Resistance (40% resistance to low-level poisons), Immunity to 1-17 Level Spells, Deathly Cold (permanently emits a deadly cold), Extreme Resilience (400% increased health), Elemental Mastery (100% increased casting speed and effect), Soul Freeze (can freeze and seal the soul of an opponent), Mastery of all Frost Spells, Frost Domain (covers the area with wind and snow), Summon Elemental Creatures
He had a level? For a pseudo-otaku who had played many RPG games, Yalin wasn't surprised. However, the King of White Dragons was indeed a formidable being, with a plethora of special abilities. He was immune to 17-level spells, and according to the King of White Dragons' memories, 30-level spells were the pinnacle of this world. For most humans, 17-level spells were the limit of a high-level mage. Only a few grand mages could cast spells above 17 levels, and anything above 21 levels was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Only legendary beings from ancient tales could use spells above 20 levels.
The King of White Dragons—Yalin believed he could now eliminate most mages, making him a true mage-killer.
"I have 1920 experience points, 80 points away from leveling up... Where did this experience come from? And why are all my attributes marked with question marks?" Yalin asked directly.
"The 1920 experience points are from the four adult white dragons you summoned. In the future, you will gain experience from summoning creatures or resources, as well as from battles, territory development, and completing tasks set by the Creator. As for the second question, since you are still in a sealed state, all attributes are hidden. The seal has 13 chains, and once it is broken, you will be able to see them."
Nemo continued, "Each time you level up, you will gain a talent point. As the King of White Dragons, you possess many powerful abilities, and each talent point can enhance these abilities."
Ha! Yalin was surprised to find he had hidden abilities. He quickly opened his talent panel and saw numerous skill branches glowing with a faint blue light, showing he currently had 1 talent point.
The talent skills were mainly divided into offensive, defensive, and support categories. Yalin, overwhelmed by the variety of skills, looked to Nemo for help.
"My noble master, what strategy are you planning to adopt?"
"Stay hidden and focus on development... for now," Yalin thought and said, recalling a strategy from a great man of
