Chapter 166 Meeting
"How are you feeling now?"
At Alex's question, Borong smiled, "I'm still feeling weak right now. But this is just temporary. I will get better after a few days."
Borong stretched out his hand and placed it on Alex's shoulder and said, "Really, I can't express my gratitude to you with just words."
Azul and Paula also looked at Alex with eyes filled with gratitude.
This time, Alex just accepted their words without saying anything.
After a while, Borong retracted his hands and said, "Since it can be said that you gave me a second life, I will of course reward you well for that."
Immediately, an expectantly look appeared in Alex's eyes.
Borong snapped his finger and a green colored item the size of a fist appeared in his hand.
A strong fruity and refreshing scent bombarded the place they were in the moment that item appeared.
Sniff~
Involuntarily, Alex took a deep breath to smell it more.
It wasn't just Alex who's like that.
Everyone in the room can't help but take in a few more breaths because of it.
Not bothered by their reactions, Borong said,
"At the moment, this is the most valuable item that I have in me. As thanks for saving me, I will give it to you now."
With a fascinated look, Alex eyed the fruit and asked, "Can you tell me what that is?"
Borong turned his eyes at the item in his hand and smiled, "This thing is called [Golden Apple]."
Hearing that, Alex tilted his head in confusion.
"[Golden Apple]? Why is it called golden when it's clearly green?"
At his words, Borong chuckled, "That was the same thought I had when I first got my hands on this thing."
"However, it didn't take long for me to learn why it is called that."
After saying that, Borong handed the [Golden Apple] to Alex.
"Anyway, you will know why it's called [Golden Apple] when you eat it."
Alex looked into the apple on his hand and thought, 'This thing is the most precious thing he has? He's not fooling me, right?'
Alex glanced at Borong and shook his head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Well, coming here has already brought me a lot of benefits. If this thing isn't really a good item, then it doesn't matter.'
With that mindset, Alex accepted the [Golden Apple] with a light heart.
"Then I will take it. Thank you, Mr. Borong."
After saying that, Alex threw the [Golden Apple] into his inventory.
Seeing that, Borong smiled and said, "This is just my token of appreciation, Mr. Zero. As for the real reward, I will give it to you after I fully recover."
Hearing that, of course, Alex is happy.
However, on the outside, Alex just keeps a calm look with a light smile.
"Then I'll thank you in advance for that as well."
After that, they chatted for a bit before Paula stood up and said, "Since Mr. Zero has come to our house even though it's far just to help our father, it's just right that we should treat you well."
"Please wait here for a bit, I will prepare some food made with dragon meat for everyone to eat!"
Saying that, Paula left and headed to the kitchen.
Alex can't help but get excited.
"Wow, I'm finally getting a taste of the dragon cuisine that I ate last time!"
Azul smiled at his words, "I'm glad you liked my sister's food."
"Since she was young, my sister already likes cooking, so I can say that she is really good at what she does."
From her words, Alex can feel how proud Azul is for her sister.
And from the looks on Borong's face, he also feels the same.
Alex can't help but look at this picture for a moment.
Then he thought, 'It looks like having a family is a great thing… huh.'
Alex fell into silence for a moment and Angelica noticed the sudden change in his mood.
Poking at him, she asked, "Brother Zero, why do you look sad?"
Alex turned to look at her and said, "Sad? Am I making a sad face right now?"
Saying that, Alex touched his face, as if trying to feel the expression he's making.
At this time, Azul and Borong have also turned their eyes at him with curious and concerned faces.
To answer his question, Angelica nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zero."
As she said that, a hesitant look appeared on Angelica's face before she suddenly hugged him with her small hands.
Then she said, "I don't know why you're sad. But I remember when my mom was still alive, she said that hugs can get rid of the sad feeling."
"I hope your sadness goes away too with my hug, Brother Zero."
Alex was stunned, looking down at Angelica who's hugging him, Alex suddenly felt warm in his heart.
A smile gradually formed in his mouth and he touched Angelica's head, saying, "You're right, the sad feeling has indeed disappeared now. Thank you, Angelica!"
At the same time, Alex felt like he was able to take a glimpse at the childish side of Angelica.
Usually, Angelica tries to act mature and responsible as the eldest of all the kids.
However, right now, Alex saw that even though she tries to act like an adult, she's still a child at heart and mind.
The father and daughter, Borong and Azul also saw this scene and a warm smile crept up their faces.
After that, Alex, Borong, and Azul chatted for a while before Paula came back.
"I am back~!"
Paula's voice is powerful and energetic, obviously full of enthusiasm.
As she approached, she placed down a tray in her hand to the table in front of Alex and the others.
Everyone looked at the tray before Borong asked, "So, what did you prepare for us today, my daughter?"
Hearing his words, a proud smile appeared on Paula's face as she introduce.
"This dish is the one where I poured all my heart into making. As a thanks to Mr. Zero for saving father."
"An hour? I only had around 3 thousand luck points when I arrived here. That means, it could only last for around 50 minutes or so."
"So, that's why all my luck points have vanished, huh…"
After learning the reason, Alex could only let out a sigh.
Those luck points could be said to be the fruit of his hard work when he was in the Trial Tower.
For them to all disappear right after he leaves the tower, Alex felt a bit depressed.
Shaking his head, Alex stopped thinking about it.
'Since it's gone, then it's gone, at least it went to good use.' He thought.
Alex recovered his calm and turned his attention back to Paula and said, "Well, I just checked for new skills and I found three."
Hearing that, Paula said, "Can you tell me their names?"
Alex nodded, "Sure. I got [Dragon Tongue], [Transformation], and [Dragon Life]."
After he read out the names of his new skills, Alex's eyes looked back to Paula and waited for her to say something.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Paula and Azul heard the new skills that Alex acquired, both of their eyes lit up.
""[Dragon Life]!""
They exclaimed at the same time.
This is because [Dragon Life] is the skill that they needed in order to awaken their father.
It took them a long time of searching from books in various places just to learn this.
Anyway, now that they finally found someone who possesses the skill [Dragon Life] the two could only be happy at the thought of finally curing their father.
Seeing their reaction, Alex raised an eyebrow and guessed, "So, that must be it, [Dragon Life] is the skill that you need."
The two nodded at the same time.
Azul, who's still unfamiliar with Alex, stepped forward and walked closer to him, saying, "This is great, please immediately save our father!"
Paula also went closer and looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Seeing that, Alex shrugged and said, "That's why I'm here to begin with."
"Anyway, you guys will reward me for this, right?"
The two nodded repeatedly, as if to assure Alex.
Alex approached the bed where Borong Leonel was lying.
Before he did anything, Alex first looked at the skill description of [Dragon Life].
[Dragon Life]
[Rank: SS]
[Effects: Pull out vitality from the Dragon realm and imbue it to your mana to heal a target from any wounds or curses. Can be used to revive someone who died for less than 10 minutes.]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Consumption: None]
…
Alex looked at the skill effect and his eyes immediately widened in surprise.
"Wait, I can revive the dead with this skill?!"
Alex murmured, feeling shock in his whole being.
Reviving a dead person is nothing but a dream to anyone in the real world.
Such a thing that defies the laws of life and death can only exist in the imaginations of the people in the past.
Even after Alex came to this world, he never imagined that he would someday possess such a miraculous power!
