The sixth-order ferocious beast, finally unable to withstand the psychological and external pressure (being stepped on, no less!), kicked the bucket.

Luca King was still incessantly recounting his glorious history of defeating other dragons in Dragon Valley, completely oblivious to the expired beast beneath his feet.

The dragon mouth kept flapping and blabbering.

Arriving to find Luca King with his eyes closed, blathering on and on, Lin En glanced at the deceased beast and then headed straight for the treasure chest.

A large, epic treasure chest, at that. Time to open it.

[System: Random special furniture blueprint *1]

[System: Instant restoration potion *1]

[System: Greatsword Eighty *1]

[System: Golden Brilliance *1]

Luca King seemed to hear the sound of Lin En opening the treasure chest. He opened his golden dragon eyes and immediately spotted Lin En standing in front of it.

Seeing Lin En, Luca King scratched his chin. Hmm… where have I seen this person before? He stared at Lin En's back, slowly racking his brains.

While Luca King was still lost in thought, Lin En had already begun to examine his loot.

First, he used the special furniture blueprint and obtained a special piece of furniture: a self-generating wine rack.

Name: Self-Generating Wine Rack

Category: Special Furniture

Effect: Place wine in a rack slot, and the adjacent slots in the same row will gradually generate the same wine.

{Anything other than wine will be ejected}

This would be great in a tavern.

Name: Instant Restoration Potion

Category: Potion

Effect: Instantly restores injuries.

{Lost limbs and broken legs? One potion fixes it all!}

Oh, is it really that amazing? I don’t believe it unless I get a few hundred bottles to test the effects. Then, I might believe it.

Name: Greatsword Eighty (Sixth-Order)

Category: Weapon

Effect: On the eightieth consecutive attack, unleashes a powerful strike with the same force as all previous strikes combined.

{Eighty, eighty… this time, I'll definitely make it to the eightieth strike before killing someone!}

It would take equally matched opponents to exchange eighty blows with someone wielding this greatsword. Lin En shook his head and tossed it into his aunt’s personal storage space.

Name: Golden Brilliance

Category: Special Skill

Effect: Creates a large pile of illusory gold coins upon use.

{Fake? Real? Real? Fake?}

??? What’s with the real and fake? It's said to be fake, so it must be fake.

Lin En learned the skill and immediately used it. In the next second, a torrent of gold coins poured from his hands, the clinking sound of the coins echoing around him.

Soon, Lin En was surrounded by gold coins, which even flowed to Luca King’s feet.

Snapping back to reality, Lin En looked at the glittering gold coins, picked one up, and then took out a real gold coin from his backpack for comparison.

They looked almost identical, and even felt the same when he tried to bite it. The weight was the same, too. Lin En was puzzled. These coins are exactly the same as real ones, yet you're telling me they're fake?

Hmm? Something's not right. Lin En put the coin in his mouth again and bit off a piece with force, chewing it. After a moment, he swallowed the entire coin.

Never would he have thought that these coins were edible, and delicious, at that! Mmm… I bet Gourmet Bei would know what these are.

Lin En picked up two more coins of different designs and ate them. Mmm, not bad. The flavors are different, but equally tasty.

Delicious, and with so much variety. Lin En couldn't resist eating a few more coins.

…

Luca King, who had been racking his brains for a long time, suddenly heard the most beautiful sound in the world. He looked down and saw countless gold coins pouring out from that human, flowing to his own feet. He could feel saliva dripping from his jaws.

Luca King {(¯﹃¯)}

Wiping his mouth, Luca King gazed at the gold coins, even more than he had in his own dragon hoard. It would be a waste not to use them to make a bed.

He opened his dragon mouth and grabbed a handful of gold coins, intending to store them away. But then, hmm? This taste? He instinctively began to chew. Wonderful! Luca King closed his eyes, savoring the flavor. He never imagined that gold coins could taste so good!

Luca King looked at the coins below and exclaimed, "I never thought gold coins could be eaten! And they taste so good! No wonder those metal dragons love eating gold coins so much."

Hmm? Wait, why am I eating the gold coins? I should be collecting them! Wouldn't it be nice to have them all glittering and shining just like me?

Looking at the gold coins below, Luca King thought for a moment, then bit off another pile. There are plenty more, so I’ll just have another bite, just one bite, and then I’ll use the rest to make a bed.

For a time, in this cavern, a human and a dragon stood amidst the piles of gold coins, munching away.

As Lin En was eating, a huge tongue suddenly wrapped him up, coins and all.

Lin En was stunned. After realizing what was happening, he broke free from the tongue and flew into the air, staring at Luca King with a dark expression.

Luca King, freed from Lin En's tongue, looked at Lin En in confusion. What happened?

Snapping back to his senses, Luca King shook his head. He glanced at Lin En, then looked down at the pile of gold coins. To his shock, the gold coins were gone!!

After looking around and seeing only a few scattered coins, Luca King immediately turned to Lin En hovering in mid-air and roared, "Did you hide my gold coins? Hand them over now, or I'll throw you into Dragon Breath Valley!"

His huge dragon eyes glared at Lin En, unconsciously emitting dragon might. A drop of golden liquid dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Feeling the dragon might, Lin En looked at Luca King, indicating that he wasn't afraid of such weak pressure. He glanced at the golden liquid residue at the corner of the dragon's mouth.

Lin En stared at Luca King with dead fish eyes and said, "What do you mean, 'your' gold coins? Those are my gold coins! And the coins are gone? Isn't that because you ate them all?"

"Look at the corner of your mouth! It's covered in gold coin crumbs! And you still have the gall to ask me for gold coins? I should be the one asking you!"

After hearing what Lin En said, Luca King wiped the corner of his mouth and saw a lot of gold coin residue. Hmm, didn't I only eat a couple of mouthfuls?

Does this mean my gold coin bed is gone? Luca King couldn't believe it. So many gold coins, my precious gold coins, roarrr~~~.

After a burst of angry roars, Luca King suddenly looked at Lin En and said, "Human, you can create gold coins, right? I saw it! You can't deny it!"

"Now, create a huge pile of gold coins for me immediately, or Dragon Breath Valley awaits you! I don't think you want to know what kind of place Dragon Breath Valley is."

"So, quickly create some gold coins for me! Did you hear me?!"

The deafening roar echoed in his ears. Lin En continued to stare at Luca King with dead fish eyes, then slowly said, "You're dreaming. You ate all my gold coins, and you still dare to be so arrogant?"

Lin En silently used Golden Brilliance. Gold coins poured from his hands again. Then, he stopped and looked at Luca King, saying, "See? Gold coins! I created them! So, do you still dare to say the gold coins are yours?"

The human and the dragon immediately stared at each other. The cavern fell silent, with only the clinking sound of gold coins.
