[Ding!]
[You ate the meat of a Dragon and acquired the skill 'Dragon Scales'.]
Hearing the notification, Alex was ecstatic.
This is one of the benefits brought by eating a dragon.
Being able to gain their skills when they're still alive.
Of course, this is not 100 percent.
There's only a small probability for someone to acquire a skill.
It's a very rare occurrence!
However, even though it's rare, it is still called miraculous because every dragon's skills are really strong!
Earlier, he was doubtful whether those foods are really made with dragon meat so he didn't turn on 'Fortune'.
Fortunately, Alex is really lucky even without turning on the heaven defying 'Fortune' state.
Alex hurriedly looked at his newly acquired skill.
[Dragon Scales]
[Details: Use mana to simulate the scale of a dragon to form a layer of defensive shield on your skin that can withstand five time of your current constitution stat.]
[Duration: 10 minutes]
[Consumption: 500 Mana]
[Cooldown: 1 hour]
…
After seeing the skill's details, Alex eyes shone brightly.
"Yes, I got a strong defensive skill!"
Alex is genuinely happy getting this skill.
Even though currently, there hasn't been an enemy that can deal damage to him, having a defensive skill is never a loss.
Also, Alex saw just how strong this skill is.
Especially with him who can increase any of his stats to an unimaginable level.
At the moment, as long as he doesn't meet anyone with strength stat higher than 2500, no one can break Alex's defense whenever he's using this skill.
Of course, we can't leave the possibility of some skill causing damage equal to 2500 strength.
However, just thinking of it, anyone who can have 2500 strength stat should be someone on a super high level such as Tier-4 to Tier-5 players.
So currently, at the same level, Alex's defense can be called unbreakable.
As Alex is still looking at his new skill, the cat ears of the beastman girl twitched before her eyes suddenly snap open.
Looking at Alex with focused eyes, she asked, "Did you just say that you got a new skill?"
Alex glanced at her and casually said, "Huh? Oh, you're done."
"Yeah, I got a new skill. It's an incredible defensive skill in my opinion."
The beastman girl suddenly stood up from her seat and with wide eyes, she said, "You really got a Dragon Skill?!"
Because of her loud voice, everyone in the diner heard her and turned their eyes in Alex's direction.
The previously lively place suddenly became quiet.
Alex looked at the little girl and complained in his heart.
'Damn it, people in this River City really like yelling, don't they?!'
As if realizing her mistake, the beastman girl immediately covered her mouth.

She hurriedly left the table, heading towards the manager's office.
Seeing that, Alex felt like he's going to have a headache.
Feeling the eyes gathering at him, Alex finally made a decision.
"Sigh, I don't want to be bothered by anyone right now so, I guess I have to leave River City now."
Just like what was mentioned earlier, the probability of getting a skill from eating dragon meat is very low to the point that it's been labeled impossible by many people.
So, what would happen if someone acquired a skill like that?
You can guess it by thinking a little.
Looking around, Alex stood up and calmly walked towards the comfort room.
His movements were seen by everyone in the diner but Alex didn't care.
Finally, when he entered the comfort room, Alex immediately used [Stealth] on himself and silently came out of the comfort room.
This time, no one noticed him and he hurriedly walked out of the restaurant while trying to remain as quiet as he could.
Once outside, Alex looked back at the entrance of Dragon Diner and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing no one noticed him.
Next, Alex went to the stable where Ferri is currently resting with a satisfied face.
When Alex arrived on the stable, he was still using [Stealth].
With that, no one noticed him.
Of course, except Ferri.
The moment that he appeared, Ferri started looking around while sniffing the air.
Then, when he finally pinpointed where the scent was coming, he looked at Alex's direction without doing anything.
Realizing that Ferri already noticed him, Alex undid the [Stealth] and looked at him with a smile.
He said, "Ferri, something happened so we have to leave River City now."
Hearing that, Ferri approached Alex and gently rubbed his head on him.
Alex's smile can't help but widen by seeing Ferri acting so affectionately.
After all, Ferri was just a wild wind wolf in the past and was only controlled by Alex with the help of [Monster Manipulation].
But now, even without the [Monster Manipulation] skill, Alex can feel that Ferri is already so close to him.
That Ferri has been successfully 'tamed' by him.
Anyway, Alex rode on Ferri's back before casting [Stealth] again to make the both of them disappear from other people's eyes.
Then, just like that, the two of them headed towards the city gate.
Once they were near the gate, Alex considerately removed the [Stealth] when passing through an alley to not startle the people by their sudden appearance.
Since there was no line when leaving the city, Alex and Ferri just walked out without attracting attention.
After passing through the gate, Alex sighed and said, "It was unfortunate that I didn't get to enjoy a lot of things in River City."
But when he thought about his new skill [Dragon Scales], his mood immediately became better.
Then, he patted Ferri, saying, "Let's hurry up.Those people might follow us if we dilly dally, that'll be annoying."
Ferri moved with haste and they soon disappeared within the forest path ahead of them.
At the city gate where Alex passed through, 2 women who looked to be around the age of 20 to 25 came running accompanied by the beastman girl who ate with Alex earlier.
Their purpose, unknown.
