"Ninja, I'm already a ninja working, biu~ biubiubiu~"
"Ugh! Mommy ugh..."
"Taoda-chan, is that you? I miss you so much... ugh... let's, let's always be together..."
...
These players seemed to have become mentally unstable. Although their eyes were vacant, they were mumbling some incomprehensible words.
Su Nian glanced at the status panels of these Sakura players and found they had accumulated a bunch of debuffs.
[Dizzy], [Nausea], [Tear Gland Irritation], [Mental Confusion], [Hallucination]
Obviously, these were the effects brought by the little red dung pellets.
Though part of the reason was that these players were more stimulated in this enclosed environment, the actual effects shouldn't be this severe when used in normal conditions.
But it had to be said.
This mutated dung pellet was incredibly powerful.
Comparable to a poison gas bomb!
Su Nian was very satisfied. He decided to give Little Red a chance for redemption.
"Banana Wolf, bring Little Red over here."
"Ah! Great, master, you, you finally noticed, Little Red!?"
Banana Wolf was overjoyed upon hearing Su Nian's order.
Indeed, a good bug will always shine no matter where it is.
But then Banana Wolf felt somewhat sad, because if the master took a liking to Little Red, Little Red might have to leave him.
However, following the master would certainly give Little Red a brighter future.
He was just a small gnoll.
While the master was a powerful legendary creature.
A dragon!!
A small gnoll couldn't give Little Red happiness, but the master surely could.
So, what Banana Wolf needed to do now.
Was to bless Little Red!
If you care about her, you must learn to let go!
"Master, Little Red, is a, good bug!"
"You must, treat her, with sincerity!"
Banana Wolf held the unconscious Little Red, crying and sniffling, which made Su Nian's eyebrows twitch.
He felt that this subordinate named Banana Wolf was somewhat mentally abnormal too. He just wasn't sure if it was from being constantly exposed to the stench or if he was born this way.
"What are you thinking!"
Su Nian roared, startling Banana Wolf so much that he almost threw Little Red away.
"This bug will follow you from now on. I'm going to give it a dragon blood baptism to help it gain intelligence and enhance its abilities!"
Su Nian spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with anger, his dragon claws "bang bang bang" hitting Banana Wolf's big head.
Fortunately, he was physically weakened now; if he had been at full strength, one hit would have killed Banana Wolf.
Although being hit on the head by the master was painful, upon hearing that Little Red wouldn't leave him, Banana Wolf's heart was immediately filled with excitement and relief.
Of course, there was also admiration and reverence for his black dragon boss.
[Banana Wolf's favorability toward you has increased by 7, current favorability: 100 (Super Bootlicker)]
Su Nian: "...(?_? )"
Actually, this kind of mentally challenged super bootlicker was dispensable.
Too embarrassing for a dragon.
Without further ado, looking at Little Red before him, Su Nian directly applied a drop of blood from his heart.
Since the bloodline of the Stinky Bug was extremely inferior, once it accepted dragon blood, the changes were earth-shattering.
The previously listless Little Red immediately let out a spirited "squeak" and jumped up from the ground with a backflip rotating three and a half times.
Then, its body grew larger at a visible speed.
The power of dragon blood was rapidly expanding the flesh tissues in its body.
In less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.
Little Red had grown from its previous face-sized form to the size of a round table.
Two ferocious horns grew from its head.
The compound eyes on its face flashed with red light, looking murderous. Even the chitinous shell on its back had grown some fine black scales.
Su Nian cast an insight spell on it.
[Dragon Tyrant Stink Bug - Little Red]
Its bloodline was too weak, so under the effect of dragon blood, it had evolved into a completely new species.
"Squeak squeak!"
Now Little Red had decent intelligence. It crawled in front of the black dragon, prostrating itself on the ground, doing push-ups, its bug head knocking against the ground, showing gratitude and submission to the black dragon.
And its favorability could now be detected by the system, starting at 95 points.
Su Nian had initially felt that using a drop of heart blood to transform a garbage Stinky Bug was a bit wasteful.
Now it seemed not wasteful at all.
Little Red being the first to undergo dragonification also proved its extraordinary talent.
Just look at those nasty skills on Little Red's information panel:
[Rapid Production] Create a large number of spicy dung balls in a short time (requires feeding)
[Stench Spray] Little Red aims its butt at enemies, spraying out fiery stench-filled farts.
[Toxic Shell] Little Red's shell is highly toxic; anyone who touches it will enter abnormal states of nausea, dizziness, and vomiting and diarrhea.
[Flourishing Reproduction] Dragon blood transformation has enhanced Little Red's reproductive ability; now it can produce dragon-blooded stink bug offspring more quickly.
[Flame Projection] Little Red wiggles its butt, throwing newly produced spicy dung balls, and this throw will carry a burning effect.
Although its level was low, with poor defense and health, and any player above level 10 could kill the weak Little Red if they got close.
But as long as Little Red was hidden in the rear, it would be a very fierce stench artillery, especially against players with relatively low levels.
By the time players learned various blocking arrays and shields, Little Red might need to retire.
But that wasn't certain.
After all, following this black dragon, it would eventually continue to evolve various strange abilities. In the future, a single dung ball might even rival a stench nuclear bomb.
Life should always be full of hope and imagination.
"From now on, you'll be called Little Red."
"This is Banana Wolf, you should know him. You two will be partners."
Little Red "squeaked" twice.
Its red compound eyes were full of intense emotion, a dependence and love for Banana Wolf.
And Banana Wolf felt the same way. He just silently looked at Little Red, one glance lasting ten thousand years.
If this were in modern times, such a beautiful scene would surely attract a crowd of young men and women nearby, loudly cheering and shouting phrases like "get together" or "kiss."
But Su Nian couldn't take it anymore.
He needed to find his little loli to cleanse his eyes.
Then, he instructed Little Red and Banana Wolf to produce more spicy dung balls, store them in advance as war resources, and left the dungeon without looking back as the atmosphere gradually became heated and strange.
"Seems like I forgot to remind Banana Wolf about something?"
After leaving the dungeon, Su Nian recalled everything and felt he had forgotten to remind them of something, but suddenly couldn't remember what it was.
"I must be mistaken."
Su Nian reassured himself, shook his dragon head, and spread his wings to fly toward the Dragon's Nest.
Meanwhile, in the dungeon, Banana Wolf, holding one of Little Red's front legs, lay on the ground foaming at the mouth, with a bunch of poisoning debuffs under his health bar. Little Red crouched on Banana Wolf's chest, its bug face filled with anxiety. """
