《Online Game: I Possess a Monster Merging Simulator!》Chapter 169: Growth of Divine Power!
Advertisement
From the words of the dragon soul, Lorne learned that there were many gems and crystals in the warehouse of Cold Desolate Dragon City, but they had all been spent by the dragons.
Fortunately, one of the dragons liked to collect treasures, and before he died, he did not sell the gems he had collected.
However, in order to hide from the other dragons, he hid all his treasures. If Lorne searched carefully, there was still hope of finding them.
Hearing this, Lorne finally felt better.
The dragon also lay weakly on the dragon skeleton, "Thank you, human adventurer. Please accept my reward."
With that, a white light spread from the dragon soul and sprinkled on Lorne.
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining the blessing of the Dragon Soul: Divine Power+2."
"Congratulations on obtaining the gift of the Dragon Soul: Water Dragon Crystal (Fragment) x1."
"Congratulations on obtaining the gift of the Dragon Soul: Dragon's Skeleton (Fragment) x1."
"Congratulations on obtaining the recognition of the Dragon Soul: Dragon Race of Order Reputation Points+100."
Fortunately, he was not so poor that he was penniless. He finally gave some rewards.
With this blessing, Lorne's total divine power had reached 50 points!
This could allow the [Angel's Descent] skill to last for 50 seconds, and in this state, Lorne was basically invincible.
"Human adventurer, please inform the Dragon of Light, Lord Hamut, of the news of the Cold Desolate Dragon City. I believe that the Dragon God will definitely reward you handsomely!" The dragon soul said weakly.
"Yes, I will."
Lorne activated the Dragon's Treasure Vault and took in the dragon soul and skeleton that had reached the end of its life.
The next second, the corners of his mouth curled up into a sly smile.
These dragons really thought that he would pass on the information of the Cold Desolate Dragon City. They were joking. He would not be foolish enough to give away such a huge treasure that even the Dragon of Light cared about.

After dealing with the dragon's remains, Lorne continued forward.
There were other dragons in this underground dragon tomb. He had to find them properly. He could not let go of any of them!
Lorne began to search the cave carefully. Soon, he found a large pile of dragon corpses.
Unfortunately, the corpses of these dragons had existed for too long. The bones had long lost their spirituality. They were now a pile of useless bones.
Not to mention a Mutated Bone Dragon, even stepping on it would shatter the bones into pieces.
Lorne tried to use the Dragon's Treasure Vault to collect a more complete dragon skeleton, but the mission panel did not change.
Therefore, these were all true trash and were useless.
…
"How long is this tomb?"
After traveling for more than ten minutes, Lorne realized that the space here was astonishing. It was like an underground kingdom.
No wonder that greedy dragon could not be robbed as long as it entered this dragon tomb.
Lorne slowly checked the time.
It was nine in the morning. More than nine hours had passed since the updated version started.
There were still three hours before the event ended.
If he could not find the dragon with the treasure within three hours, then Lorne could only leave first.
As he thought, he discovered a new dragon ahead.
Lorne immediately stepped forward to speak.
Soon, white light poured over him.
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining the blessing of the Dragon Soul: Divine Power+2."
"..."
"..."
He had obtained another two points of divine power, and there was also the Water Dragon Crystal fragment.
These were all wealth. He would definitely need them to build his territory in the future.
In addition, Lorne obtained another dragon skeleton.
This was the fourth dragon skeleton he had obtained.

In the Dragon of Light's mission, the dragon skeleton was an additional mission requirement. The reward could be higher with every additional one.
Thinking of this, Lorne became even more excited.
This was because he was basically certain that as long as he discovered the soul of a dragon in this dragon tomb, he would definitely be able to obtain a dragon skeleton!
Therefore, Lorne explored even faster.
In this dragon tomb, although the scene was strange, there were no monsters, so there was no need to worry too much. All he needed to do was speed up.
…
Ding!
"Congratulations on collecting: Dragon Soul!"
"Congratulations on collecting: Dragon Skeleton!"
"Congratulations…"
"..."
As the exploration time increased, the number of dragon souls and dragon skeletons gathered increased. In just two hours, he had already collected 11 dragon souls and 11 dragon skeletons in this tomb.
These dragon souls brought him 22 points of divine power, causing his current divine power to reach 70 points.
In addition, there were many water dragon crystal fragments accumulated on Lorne's body.
Ding!
"Congratulations on collecting 10 water dragon crystal fragments. You can merge them into a complete water dragon crystal. Would you like to merge?"
"Merge."
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Water Dragon Crystal x1."
A complete Water Dragon Crystal appeared in Lorne's bag. Although he did not know its value for the time being, he could still sense that this gem should be very precious from the harsh conditions to merge it.
Putting the gem away, Lorne did not continue exploring the dragon tomb. He did not have much time. He had to return to Iron Skull City to submit his mission.
Lorne was about to take out the teleportation circle of Iron Skull City when he saw a small light.
He looked over in surprise and quickly went up to check. He realized that there was also the skeleton of a dragon here, but unlike other dragons, there was a large pile of gems in the abdomen of this corpse that was piled up like a small mountain.
Seeing this, Lorne was enlightened.
No wonder those dragons said that they could not find the treasure hidden by a dragon. It turned out that it had eaten the treasures. The dragon's corpse corroded very slowly. When the treasure was exposed, the other dragons were basically on the verge of death.
Therefore, these treasures were preserved.
Lorne quickly ran up and put the gems and gold coins into his bag.
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining the Dragon Race's Night Pearl x5,000!"
"Congratulations on obtaining the Ancient Crystal x3500!"
"Congratulations on obtaining the Ancient Ruby x4000!"
"Congratulations…"
Lorne collected resources crazily. The tens of thousands of different gem materials in front of him were all taken away by him.
After collecting them, he immediately took out the teleportation scroll. There was no longer any time to waste. He had to hurry back to Iron Skull City to submit the mission, or else the mission would expire.
Without hesitation, Lorne crushed the teleportation scroll.
In the next moment, an indigo light rose from his body, and he instantly vanished on the spot.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

The Wandering Scholar
Zhou Mingzie, A young Chinese American is suddenly brought into a mythical land, similar to China in many ways, but is most definitely not. This new world appears to contain cultivation elements like the Wuxia and Xanxia stories he read throughout highschool, but he can also gain Levels and Skills, I mean Paths and Techniques. Sure he is Chinese, but he grew up in America, so he doesn't want to ascend to the heavens and fight spirit beasts, does he? But Mom wants him to embrace his heritage more...jk...unless? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Inspired heavily by The Wandering Inn and Beware of the Chicken, as well as cultivation novels in general, this story hopes to take a Westernish approach to the standard Cultivation approach, being more subtle and changing how it approaches the standard tropes of the genre, without abandoning them entirely.
