I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 98

Chapter 95: Certificate of Kingship

Back at the mansion, Karl began packing his things in preparation to join Robert on the expedition.

To take down the dragon tribe, it was essential to strike swiftly and gather top-tier Extraordinary Beings for a decapitation mission. Otherwise, the longer they delayed, the more dragonlings would spawn under the head dragon’s call, dragging the kingdom into an endless quagmire.

Only the head dragon had mating rights; once the head dragon fell, the Extraordinary Power of the dragonlings would significantly weaken, and reproduction would halt, tipping the battle overwhelmingly in favor of the kingdom.

Roy had no objections to this plan. After all, according to the original storyline, Karl and Robert’s journey would go smoothly without a hitch, so there was nothing to worry about.

Rather, it was himself who felt a bit precarious on this journey.

With dragonlings flying around everywhere and without Karl’s protection, relying solely on the griffin wouldn’t be enough.

The griffin could scare off ordinary magical beasts but couldn’t deter wildly flying dragons.

So while Karl packed his bags, Roy busied himself with the panel in the room.

【Reputation Lottery Area】: Spend reputation points for a lottery; items are legendary Extraordinary materials and magic potions from ancient times, with lesser tiers than those in the 【Favor Exchange Area】.

Compared to the “lost” high-tier potions and Extraordinary gear from the 【Favor Exchange Area】, items in the 【Reputation Lottery Area】 were mostly consumables, thus worth significantly less.

For instance, there were 【Blue Healing Potions】, which could heal injuries, and 【Yellow Defense Potions】, which could enhance defense—such things weren’t rare in this age.

But these common consumables were exactly what Roy needed.

Favor points could be exchanged for items when crises occurred, but these consumables were the more the merrier—better safe than sorry.

Moreover, compared to similar products currently on the market, the efficacy of the items in the 【Reputation Lottery Area】 was much stronger.

For example, a healing potion on the market would cost ten gold coins, only restoring surface-level injuries, while its effect on internal bleeding and fractures would be significantly reduced.

The 【Blue Healing Potion】 had none of these issues; unless it was a serious injury, like severing an arm, it could generally heal well.

【Ten Consecutive Draws 1000 Reputation Points】

【Note: Items are rated in four qualities: White, Blue, Purple, Gold. A ten-draw must yield at least one Purple; a hundred-draw must yield at least one Gold. Please consider your points wisely.】

Hey, there’s even a safety net!

Old lucky guy was truly grateful for the user-friendly safety net mechanism.

Roy checked and found that, unbeknownst to him, he had over three thousand reputation points.

It seemed his performance in the griffin selection after Lord Raymond’s birthday banquet earned him quite a few points.

With substantial resources at hand, he didn’t need to hesitate.

Draw, let’s go for it!

【Thirty Consecutive Draws 3000 Reputation Points spent】

As the panel flickered with light, a bunch of random little items fell from the void.

【Blue Healing Potion5】【Yellow Defense Potion3】【Red Defense Potion2】【Elemental Flame3】【Perfect Bread*5】…

【Purple Item Platinum Magic Rings*3】

Oh oh oh! It’s purple… wait, why’d I get three of the same?

That’s just lazy, isn’t it?!

Getting identical items always felt disappointing.

Fortunately, the effect of the 【Platinum Magic Ring】 didn’t let him down.

【Platinum Magic Ring】

【Description】: Crafted by the Dwarven Master Greido of the Second Era using the highest quality platinum, combined with eight rare gemstones, there are a total of eight. Thus, they are also called the 【Eight Legendary Magic Rings】. In the following eras, they have been considered symbols of love and power, sought after by countless factions, all of which have been lost to time. Each magic ring has a storage space of 500m³, making it the largest Extraordinary item since the ancient era.

Roy realized that the items in both the 【Exchange Area】 and the 【Lottery Area】 seemed to be legendary treasures that had already been lost to time.

If he could directly obtain contemporary items, wouldn’t that be like instantly teleporting treasures right from someone’s hands?!

Though getting three identical things was a bit strange, the quality of the items didn’t disappoint him.

In this era, storage items were rare and expensive, and their storage space was extremely limited.

Even Charlotte, the princess of a kingdom, didn’t have any storage items, highlighting their scarcity.

Only magical potions, which symbolized the foundation of Extraordinary power, were specifically stored in these storage tools.

Meanwhile, Roy stuffed a bunch of random tidbits into his storage; after all, he had plenty of space.

The three rings were set with rubies, emeralds, and a black diamond.

Roy wore the one with the black diamond and stored the other two away.

With a pile of strategic resources, Roy’s sense of security increased significantly.

Not to mention he had a bunch of guards; even if he found himself isolated, he wouldn’t be stranded without supplies.

…Ugh, why was he thinking such ominous thoughts?!

Shaking his head to clear out those weird ideas, Roy pulled out the dark golden dragon scale and began to study it.

In “Angel’s Wheel Dance,” the dragon tribe was the absolute villain, and ‘Nefarious Roy’ would join different cults depending on the storyline of various female leads. In Charlotte’s storyline, ‘Nefarious Roy’ immersed himself in the faith of the dragon tribe’s 【Cult of the Dragon】.

Roy was actually a bit wary of this dragon scale in his hand.

But it was said to be from the First Era, left by a dragon that was friendly to humans; it was also entrusted to him by the mysterious Rolyn to confirm his potential before being handed over, and the power it contained should not be underestimated.

How could he know its secrets without trying?

This world wasn’t safe; before Alice matured, he needed to become stronger.

Besides, there was Charlotte to consider.

Roy wanted to help relieve some of the pressure from that proud princess.

With only a Silver Bloodline of 【Iron Blood】, if he did nothing, he’d only end up lagging far behind Charlotte in the future.

And the opportunity to become stronger was right in front of him—what was there to hesitate about?

【Warning, Certificate of Kingship detected! Would you like to consume a Reversal Point to activate it?】

【1 Reversal Point consumed, activation confirmed!】

In an instant, the dark golden dragon scale erupted with dazzling golden light, as if the very sound of dragon roaring echoed in the air!

Roy felt an ancient, heavy, and regal gaze pierce through the dust of history, casting a glance at him!

Just as Roy prepared to withstand that ancient presence’s gaze, unexpectedly, the golden dragon scale surged toward him.

Before Roy could even scream, he found the scale fused directly into his body, disappearing without a trace.

With the dragon scale gone, the ancient pressure and shock, along with the echo of the dragon’s roar, vanished as well.

The room fell silent; Roy sat there dumbfounded, his expression akin to someone who just swallowed something unpleasant.

What if one day your old man pulled out an heirloom and told you it was worth a fortune, enough to make you rich if sold, but you ended up losing it that very day? What would you do?!

Roy patted himself down all over and couldn’t find the dragon scale; he could confirm it was absorbed by him!

Fortunately, the panel reacted immediately.

【Certificate of Kingship has been triggered, beginning projection of the path to kingship.】

Before he could even think about what the path to kingship entailed, Roy suddenly felt darkness engulf him, and he collapsed onto the bed.
