Chapter 77

After a short trip to the capital, Jiang Li returned to Dolei City. Except for the appearance of a giant red dragon in the city, Jiang Li's daily life quickly returned to the way it was before. He got up early every day to open the supermarket and receive customers who came to shop.

Serego's figure often ran around the city, and soon, even the residents of Dolei City got used to the existence of a giant dragon in the city. Especially the shop owners in the shopping street, the help information they posted on the notice board was accepted more quickly than before, especially the task of moving goods, which was too heavy for humans, but was incredibly easy for the dragon.

People were originally somewhat afraid of the legend of the dragon, fearing that it would suddenly go mad and destroy human cities in a rage. However, after observing for many days, they found that the terrifying and dangerous dragon in the legend was surprisingly docile.

For example, he always completed the tasks of transporting goods they issued quickly and well, and never bargained for the reward. If he gave an extra gift while paying the reward - an apple, a piece of bread, or anything else, as long as it was not something from a malicious person - of course, no one dared to play a prank on the dragon. After receiving the gift, Serego would always ask in surprise: "Is it for me? Isn't this a commodity? Oh! Are you giving it to me for free?... You are such a generous human being!"

Shopkeepers in the shopping street: "..."

In addition to the shopping street, dragons can often be seen in other places.

For example, the farmland outside the city.

Lord Dean has been recruiting workers for the farmland outside the city on notice boards all year round. It is indeed a vast piece of land. It takes a lot of effort to cultivate it all by manpower alone. Because the reward is not high, magicians and adventurers rarely go to help except when there is an urgent need for manpower.

For the dragon, this is too-too easy!

He has sharp claws, which are harder and sharper than any sword. After changing back to his original form, he can easily turn over a large piece of farmland by using all four claws and swinging his tail back and forth a few times. He also has powerful magic, which is more powerful than ordinary magicians. With a wave of his claws, he can attract a lot of rain for the farmland. With a roar of the dragon, the aphids and caterpillars that are a headache on the crops will also be paralyzed and frightened to death by the terrifying dragon's might, and fall into the soil one after another, turning into fertilizer for the plants.

Wherever there is a job, you can see Serego.

It's not that he has never been to the forest outside the city to catch monsters. Adventurers make a living by hunting monsters, and the reward is more generous than working. But often as soon as it lands in the forest, the monsters run away desperately and hide. The terrain of the forest is not convenient for the huge dragon to move. It has been in the forest for a few days, but it has received complaints from adventurers.

"Ever since the dragons appeared, all the monsters have been hiding, and it has become difficult to catch them!"

"Yes, the monsters have become more violent than before, and sometimes they will break into the safe zone for no reason. Last time, our team was having lunch, and a poisonous rhino suddenly broke in. If we hadn't reacted quickly, we would have almost died there!"

"The dragon is rampaging in the forest, destroying everything, including the original road. Last time, it almost burned down the entire forest."

There is now an obvious scorched earth in the forest where the monsters are entrenched, which is the disaster scene left behind at that time. Fortunately, Messenal was farming nearby, and he attracted a large rain cloud that covered the entire forest, and used magic to create a barrier to extinguish the flames of the dragon's breath.

Unable to catch it, and having received several complaints, Serego angrily ate a large plate of boiled beef. Fortunately, his work efficiency was high, and the total salary was not low.

In addition to working in various places in Dore City, the place where he was most often seen was Levi's restaurant. Occasionally, when business was good, the residents of Dore City would see him standing in the queue in front of the door.

——It was really eye-opening!

"I was very scared at first, after all, it was a legendary dragon." Chris mentioned it to Ginger when they went shopping in the supermarket: "But Mr. Serego has been working everywhere in Dore City and living like a human. Sometimes people forget that he is a dragon."

Irene: "How could I forget? The last time he ate in Levi's restaurant, he ate chili and spit fire! Which human can spit fire?"

Ginger was surprised: "Spit fire? What happened next?"

"There were other magicians in the restaurant who put out the fire in time and no damage was caused." Chris said.

Ginger breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, with dragons living in the city, there are fewer monsters attacking the city." Jiang Li said: "Augustus told me that since the dragons came, the guards at the city gate have never seen monsters attacking, and those monsters don't seem to dare to approach here."

Chris said happily: "Really? That's a good thing!"

"Speaking of which, does this mean that Dore City has been incorporated into the dragon's territory?" Irene muttered: "But this is the first time I've seen a dragon working..."

The group walked out of the supermarket with the things they had just bought, and they happened to see the person mentioned just now coming towards them. Chris took the initiative to say hello: "Mr. Serego, are you helping to deliver the goods?"

Serego poked his head out from behind a tall bag of flour. He looked a little familiar, and he couldn't help but think of who he was. He nodded when he saw who it was. "Yeah."

He carried the flour bag to the nearby bakery. The chubby bakery owner came out to receive the goods. After confirming that everything was correct, she said distressedly, "This is too much. Can you help me move it into the kitchen? I can increase the reward by one third."

Serego unloaded the flour in the kitchen easily. After receiving the reward, he also got an extra jam bread as a thank-you gift. He

counted the money in his pocket and came to the supermarket happily: "I want a bag of spicy strips!"

"Okay."

Jiang Li accepted the handful of copper coins and watched the red-haired young man sit at the door with the spicy strips contentedly, then tore open the package and carefully took out a spicy strip from it.

Serego opened his mouth wide and took small bites, eating one after another with great care.

He didn't know what it was made of, but it was very tasty, spicy with a hint of sweetness. In the whole supermarket, Serego's favorite snack was the spicy strips. What surprised him most was that spicy strips were just a general term. There were countless types of peppers, each with a slightly different taste, and the price was very low, so he could buy them easily.

The only drawback was that for the dragon's appetite, a bag of spicy strips was too little, not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. After

eating the spicy strips with great care, he still felt a little unsatisfied, but the change in his pocket was not enough. The bulk of his daily wages were used to eat at Levi's restaurant, and the rest was used to buy snacks in the supermarket.

Come back tomorrow, tomorrow he will eat another kind of spicy strips on the shelf.

Just as Serego was about to get up, suddenly, another bag of spicy strips he had been thinking about appeared in front of him and shook.

Serego's eyes lit up, and he looked along the spicy strips and saw the owner of the supermarket standing next to him.

Jiang Li handed it over: "For you."

"For, for me?" Serego said in surprise: "Is it free?"

Jiang Li: "Yes, it's free."

Wow! Serego took it without hesitation.

He tore open the package, and the spicy and slightly sweet taste passed to the tip of his tongue. It was indeed another kind of deliciousness. He looked at Jiang Li warily and said vaguely: "You said it was free, I won't pay for it."

Jiang Li: "...It's for you."

Serego ate it with more peace of mind.

Seeing him eating spicy noodles happily, with flour still on his body from delivering goods, if he hadn't known that he was a dragon, Jiang Li wouldn't have been able to connect his human form with the majestic and domineering dragon form.

The second bag of spicy noodles was also quickly eaten.

Staring at Jiang Li with golden eyes, and making sure that he would not take out a third bag, Serego clapped his hands and stood up.

Jiang Li asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Of course I'll continue to work." The red-haired young man said confidently, "Levi's restaurant has new dishes, and I need to earn enough money for dinner in the afternoon."

Jiang Li encouraged, "Come on."

"Isn't it too hard for you humans to earn gold coins?" Serego complained, "I work every day, and I can only earn money for lunch and dinner. I can't even order a few more dishes. Robbery is not allowed in human laws. You humans are really troublesome."

Jiang Li thought to himself: There's no way, working is that difficult.

Even if you're a working dragon, it's the same.

However, it was beyond his expectation that this Mr. Dragon would honestly act in accordance with human laws.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "Can you please deliver something for me?"

Serego looked at him doubtfully and said, "Sure."

Jiang Li took out a box of electrical appliances from the warehouse and said, "Please deliver it to my house. If the teacher is not at home, just leave it at the door. As for the reward... I don't know the market price, so I'll use the supermarket's goods as compensation. You can pick anything you want, okay?"

Pick anything you want?

Serego responded loudly, "No problem!!!"

...

After running errands for the owner of the supermarket, Serego returned to the central square with a bag of spicy strips and continued to look for the next suitable job opportunity on the bulletin board.

After working for this period of time, Serego already has rich work experience. Most of the errands are not paid much, while moving goods is a bit higher. The pay varies depending on the weight of the goods, and the highest value is for some tasks with special conditions.

Scanning the notice board, he soon found a new task marked with gold coins.

And there are a full hundred gold coins, which is really a big task!

Serego's eyes lit up, and the invisible tail behind him swung happily. He hurried to look at the task requirements. Generally, the higher the pay, the more stringent the requirements for special tasks.

Requirements: Dragon... Huh? Dragon?

Oh oh oh! Isn't he a dragon? !

It's simply tailor-made for him!

Serego took off the request for help and took a close look at the address on it.

Morton's Pharmacy?

When he was moving goods, he seemed to have passed by. If I remember correctly, it should be in the shopping street.

Serego stuffed the task into his pocket and walked towards the shopping street with a swagger.

Wow, one hundred gold coins are his now!
