Gavin Maud took the map from David Jones’s hand and examined it carefully. “So it’s here. You’ve drawn this map very well,” Gavin Maud admitted, smiling. David Jones gave an awkward smile.

The map was actually drawn by Rainbow; he only added the reference lines for the Dungeon location.

After musing for a while, Gavin Maud said quietly: “Do you plan to use this dragon scale for yourself or sell it? If you choose to sell, I can offer a price you’ll be satisfied with.”

As he said this, he glanced at his old classmate seated opposite him.

Michelle Roger, sitting to the side, didn’t add any words, only nodding slightly.

Gavin Maud’s brow furrowed as he watched David Jones leave.

“What’s wrong?” Although Michelle Roger was asking, his gaze remained fixed on the dragon scale lying on the table.

After a long moment, Gavin seemed to think of something, “Do you think a Flood Dragon could forcibly suppress its species level?” he asked, slightly puzzled.

Michelle Roger was stunned for a moment and his face suddenly changed as a shocking thought occurred to him, “You mean, this Frost Wyvern could reach the King species level but ultimately chose to suppress it?”

“Exactly, nothing else makes sense. Considering the density of its lineage shown now, how could it possibly be a mere Commander!” Gavin laughed, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

Though he was only speculating, it was a plausible theory.

The one thing he couldn’t figure out was how the Frost Wyvern managed to suppress its species level!

“That’s impossible, it’s absolutely impossible!” Michelle Roger refuted right away.

How could a beast with great potential possibly choose to surrender the leap in species level, especially a Flood Dragon which is an untamed pet!

“Who knows.” Gavin still wore a smile, not agreeing or disagreeing.

“I want to enter the Dungeon.” Michelle Roger suddenly announced, evidently eager.

If David Jones could find a dragon scale that could serve as evolutionary material in the Dungeon, he wanted to try his luck too.

There was a chance his Flame Dragon might finally break through the species potential bottleneck.

“Let’s wait for the Trainers currently in the Dungeon to come out first, probably another fifteen minutes. No need to rush,” Gavin replied with a smile. The meat might be rotten, but it’s still in his pot.

As the president of the Trainer Guild, he had high hopes for the new trainers in Waterland City.

How much they could gain from the Dungeon depended on their abilities.

Until it was over, he wouldn’t let his old classmate join in and spoil the fun.

Gavin was not as persistent in pursuing a True Dragon as Michelle. The resources from this Class III Dungeon wouldn’t be enough to upgrade him to an Epic Trainer either.

Touching the frost-white dragon scale on the table, there was anticipation in Gavin’s eyes, along with a glint of fervor, “David Jones, don’t let me down!”

After leaving the lounge, David Jones couldn’t help but release a sigh of relief.

He had thought the True Dragon Relic he put up for sale would be in high demand. He hadn’t expected to underestimate the senior members of the Trainer Guild.

They were cunning!

Fortunately, Guildmaster Maud seemed to have seen through his hidden worries and had repeatedly stated the Guild’s standing during the conversation.

Thinking of this, David Jones looked at the Primary Trainer Badge in his hand, a cheerful smile on his face.

Just now, he had received 500 Contribution Points and a transfer of 5 million Star coins from the Guild.

In return, he had left the dragon scale in the lounge.

David was quite pleased with this outcome.

Contribution Points are the rewards given by the Trainer Guild to Trainers with substantial contributions. They were quite valuable.

Generally, only Trainers who have made contributions to the Guild could earn them.

Contribution Points are not Star coins and cannot be converted into Star coins, but they have the purchasing power of currency. Trainers can use them to exchange for from the Guild, rare Trainer resources, and even those high-value resources that cannot be purchased with Star coins.

To some powerhouses, Contribution Points are much more valuable than Star coins.

With one Contribution Point, you could exchange resources worth ten thousand Star coins in the Guild. Just these 500 Contribution Points were enough for David Jones to exchange for a Pet with a species level equal to a Superior.

Unfortunately, David Jones was not yet able to Contract with a second pet.

While it was fine when Rainbow first evolved, as time passed, David Jones could clearly feel the increasing pressure from the Arcane Star in his mind.

Perhaps he could only Contract a second pet after his Arcane Star advanced to Class III.

While he was thinking, David Jones arrived at the entrance of the base.

On the way, he encountered a few Trainers with fatigue and haggard faces.

Clearly, their life in the Dungeon had not been easy.

David checked his phone for the time, almost forgetting about his debt.

He was really lucky that Margaret Yule sold him the Primary Star Ring, otherwise it would have been difficult to bring Lolo out.

Thinking of this, David added Margaret as a friend on QChat, and also opened the Trainer’s marketplace app to check the price of the Void stone.

“2, 4, 6, 8!” David couldn’t believe the price displayed on his phone.

He counted again, then suddenly took in a sharp breath. He could only feel that poverty limited his imagination!

Kind girl, how could she simply give this away?!

What audacity!

An undamaged Void stone could be worth tens of millions of Star coins, but Margaret said she would give it away as a gift!!!

David’s face suddenly turned somber; he originally thought that Margaret merely owed him a big favor, he hadn’t expected her to practically sell him out. This large amount was not inconsiderable in Waterland City!

Tens of millions of Star coins could even afford the service of a Master-tier Trainer once, but he was merely a Primary-tier Trainer at present.

“Phew, with my current wealth, I should be able to pay it back!” Exhaled David.

Should he sell all the herbs acquired in the Dungeon, that would be enough to amount to this figure.

It had to be said, Margaret’s foresight was very accurate. David indeed was not capable of accepting such a favor and running away!

He’ll deal with the challenges as they come. When the time comes, he’ll find a way to return this favor.

Regardless of whether this could be considered as a favor, he was still grateful.

Dumbfounded, David could not help scratching his head. After all the compliments, he now had a very positive impression of Margaret. David quickly shook his head.

However, he owed her a favor. His Arcane Star level was significantly slowing down Rainbow’s progress.

The most important thing now was to push his Arcane Star to Class III.

Thinking of this, a sense of expectation and excitement sprang up from David’s heart.

“Just one more crucial step, and I can break the Arcane Star record among the Trainers in the Flowery Kingdom!”
