The Legendary Dinosaur

"Triggered limited-time achievement quest 'Legendary Dinosaur - Cool Cool!', help Nobi Bear subdue 'Cool Cool Dragon' before dawn. Quest reward: [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg]!"

"Please note! Achievement points for limited-time achievement quests are doubled. If failed, this achievement quest will disappear permanently!"

Never-ending Dinosaur Leg? Li Shu was a bit confused by the reward. Did it grant the superpower to conjure dinosaur legs out of thin air? That seemed rather useless.

Li Shu was only slightly disappointed but still full of drive. After all, double achievement points were the real prize.

Through Nobi Bear's explanation, Li Shu got a general idea of what 'Cool Cool Dragon' was.

This was a creature not present in the original work, an animal-person with superpowers, just like Oolong.

Nobi Bear didn't know it was a dragon. In his description, this legendary dinosaur was actually a giant rat that gave him immense trouble.

It often stole the ingredients he prepared, and he couldn't get rid of the darned rat no matter how hard he tried.

Especially the dinosaur meat he bought from Li Shu at great expense; the giant rat loved it.

"Its speed is incredible, we can't catch it at all, and it's extremely cunning. All rat traps are useless against it. It toyed with us for a whole month, which was agonizing."

"Fortunately, Li Shu-kun has arrived. You can even subdue dinosaurs, so you must be an excellent martial artist. I hope you can help me catch this rat. I'm willing to pay a generous reward."

Li Shu waved his hand and said, "Nobi Bear-kun, we're already good friends. I'll help you catch this rat. No need for a reward."

"Haha, how can I impose? How about this: regardless of whether you can help me catch the rat or not, all your food at my shop will be free from now on."

An hour later, Nobi Bear closed his shop and said to Li Shu, "It's very cunning and only appears when there are few people around. It often steals food when we're not paying attention."

Li Shu nodded and smiled, "I already know where it's hiding."

"Really?" Nobi Bear was overjoyed.

"You guys just clean up as usual. Leave it to me," Li Shu said confidently.

In his sight, a combat power value floated in the corner of the kitchen.

[Combat Power: 8]

"Is this your superpower, [Invisibility Technique]?" Li Shu looked with interest at the empty corner of the kitchen. If not for his Battle Eye, he probably wouldn't have been able to complete this quest.

Li Shu didn't act rashly. There were still a few hours until dawn, and he needed to think carefully and devise a proper plan.

After all, the quest required him to help Nobi Bear subdue 'Cool Cool Dragon'; merely catching it wouldn't complete the mission.

"He can see me?" At this moment, Cool Cool Dragon, hidden in the corner, looked at the monkey-person with confusion.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! No one can detect my [Invisibility Technique]," Cool Cool Dragon reassured himself internally.

He had roamed the city for over a decade, living comfortably without working, and had never been caught. Such experience gave him ample confidence.

Even so, being cautious, he decided not to take any risks and planned to leave the shop and find another place to continue his carefree life.

He was smart and wouldn't plague one shop for too long, as he understood a principle that was better understood than explained, his secret to survival.

Meanwhile, Li Shu frowned. He hadn't come up with a good plan, and Cool Cool Dragon seemed to be showing signs of leaving.

The floating combat power value was moving bit by bit towards the door.

"He really can see me!" Cool Cool Dragon kept an eye on Li Shu and noticed the latter's gaze following his movements, which startled him.

He could feel the powerful aura emanating from the monkey-person, which terrified him. No longer moving cautiously, he quickly ran towards the door.

As he moved at high speed, his [Invisibility Technique] immediately failed.

Clearly, his actions were restricted while in the [Invisible] state.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect a dinosaur to look like a rat." The moment he saw Cool Cool Dragon, Li Shu was taken aback.

Cool Cool Dragon wasn't large, about the size of an adult female cat. He had a shifty, rat-like appearance, with a small, pointed snout that couldn't quite cover his two protruding front teeth.

His panicked expression looked quite amusing.

If the system hadn't said he was a dinosaur, Li Shu would have thought he was a giant rat.

"You can't escape." Li Shu flicked his finger, and a blue energy wave shot out, hitting Cool Cool Dragon's abdomen and severely wounding him, causing him to collapse.

Since he couldn't think of a plan, he decided to forcibly subdue the creature and compel it to submit to his might.

Under Cool Cool Dragon's terrified gaze, Li Shu grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up.

"You look quite tasty," Li Shu grinned.

"No! Don't eat me! I'm sick, I'm very sick, don't eat me!" Cool Cool Dragon was timid and pleaded repeatedly.

At this moment, Nobi Bear came over, full of praise for Li Shu.

Li Shu smiled, "Nobi Bear-kun, how do you plan to deal with this fellow? I have a good suggestion."

"What suggestion?" Nobi Bear asked curiously.

"He caused you quite a bit of loss, didn't he? Why not let him stay here and work to compensate for your losses?"

"Work? Impossible! I'll never work in my life! You might as well eat me!" Before Nobi Bear could react, Cool Cool Dragon shouted in terror.

He seemed to have a very strong aversion to working.

"Why would you rather die than work?" Li Shu asked him curiously.

Cool Cool Dragon didn't explain, shouting, "There's no why! I will not work! Killing me would be better than making me work!"

"Oh?" Cool Cool Dragon's intense reaction made Li Shu feel a hint of trouble.

Li Shu then said, "If you tell me why, I won't make you work."

"Really?" Cool Cool Dragon was overjoyed and hurriedly explained the reason.

It turned out that this guy had worked before, but because of his ugly and comical appearance, his short stature, and his clumsy nature that led to frequent mistakes, he was often mocked by customers and colleagues and scolded by his bosses, which caused him great psychological trauma and torment.

Therefore, he swore that he would never work again in this life.

"Fine, I'm not an unreasonable person." Li Shu felt great sympathy for Cool Cool Dragon's plight and said, "But you did do something wrong and caused losses to my friend, so you must compensate for these losses."
