Original God: Start with Qiuqiu, become stronger with food and beauties

It was a sunny, cloudless day. As King Hao was walking along the road, he suddenly felt a strange sensation—as if someone was secretly following him. A sense of alarm welled up in him, but he pretended to be calm and continued on his way. As he entered a dense forest, the feeling of being followed intensified. So, he decided to turn around and see who was following him.

He turned slowly and scanned the surrounding woods. At this moment, he saw a figure - a girl in simple clothes with a curious look on her face. She was hiding behind a big tree and peeking at him cautiously.

King Hao was astonished. The girl didn't seem afraid of him; she even displayed a curiosity and a desire to explore. He wondered why she acted this way. Didn't she know there was danger here? Or was she simply not afraid of dangerous monsters? For example, since he was a Hilichurl, wasn't she worried about him eating her?

King Hao realized that perhaps the girl had approached him so boldly because he hadn't shown any hostility or threat. He began to think about how to communicate with her and understand her intentions. After all, in this strange world, having a friend is always better than having an enemy.

"Olah!" the little girl said to him and waved.

"Hello." King Hao thought this man looked familiar. He seemed to have seen him before during his daily routine. Was he the Hilichurist? No wonder he dared to talk to a Hilichurl. Any other human would have avoided him long ago.

"Huh?" The little girl was shocked. "It's human language, so you're not a Hilichurl? Why are you dressing up as a Hilichurl?"

"The Hilichurls were also human beings before they became Hilichurls." King Hao turned and left. Since it was her, there was nothing to worry about. The ingredients were almost found, and it was time to go back to the camp.

The girl was very curious. Perhaps, this was a high-level Hilichurl, and perhaps she could become her friend.

"Why are you following me?" asked King Hao.

"I want to make a Hilichurl friend. You are a special Hilichurl. Can you be my friend?" The girl asked worriedly, pointing her finger at him.

King Hao nodded. "Is that so? Well, my camp is just ahead. Do you want to come over and enjoy a feast with me?"

"Okay, by the way, my name is Ella Musk." The girl nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Even though it was our first meeting, this girl wasn't at all alert. This made me a little worried. I hoped she wouldn't say something wrong and upset the other Hilichurls. After all, our language and behavior were very different from humans, and if we accidentally said something wrong, it could cause unnecessary trouble.

When we returned to the camp, the other Hillichul people immediately danced with excitement and shouted, "The leader is back!" Their enthusiasm made me feel relieved, but at the same time it also reminded me to be careful in dealing with what happened next.

"Human cub, little fool, will speak wrongly, don't be angry." I tried to explain to the other hillickles in a gentle tone.

"Yes, we're not angry," they responded in unison, expressing their understanding and tolerance. This made me feel relieved. It seemed that they probably wouldn't be dissatisfied or angry about the girl's mistake, but just to be safe, I still had to keep an eye on her.

"You're their leader? How cool!" Ella exclaimed, her eyes sparkling, her face filled with surprise and excitement. She had never imagined that simply strolling around would lead her to meet and become friends with a Hilichurl leader. This unexpected encounter made her feel incredibly lucky, as if fate had blessed her. She couldn't help but look forward to the adventures ahead, hoping that this wonderful friendship would bring her even more surprises and growth (…).

"Well, you probably want to make friends with more Hilichurls, right?"

"Of course!" Ella nodded. "I think the Hillichuls can also coexist peacefully with humans."

King Hao patted her head and said, "But besides your Musk family, who else could have such an idea?"

"There's a handsome brother on the other side of the snowy mountain. He's very nice to me! Once, we went to play with the Hilichurls together, and he even drew two pictures for me and the Hilichurls!" Ella recalled the scene with a happy smile on her face, as if she could feel the happy time at that time.

"Oh, there's someone like this..." King Hao touched his mask, thinking: Could it be Albedo? I remember there was a plot where he painted for the Hilichurls, but Ella wasn't by his side.

"Hey, can you cook?" Ella watched King Hao prepare the ingredients curiously.

His movements were expertly executed. Though he held a greatsword, he wielded it with the grace of a seasoned chef. Each swing seemed effortless and natural, as if the sword were part of his body. Under his deft control, the sword didn't destroy the surrounding environment or objects, but instead precisely cut ingredients into the desired shapes and sizes.

With the swing of the greatsword, chunks of poultry, fish fillets, sunflower slices, and sweet potato shreds fell one after another, piling neatly onto the cutting board. These ingredients looked incredibly tempting, mouth-watering. They were cut into perfectly proportioned pieces, showcasing the chef's exquisite culinary skills and meticulous attention to detail.

"As expected of the boss, he's so awesome!" the other hillbillies cheered.

"Next, I'll make a fire." The red hill crossbowman shot an arrow at the campfire and lit it.

"Start cooking..." King Hao heated the oil, sautéed the onions, ginger and garlic, put in the poultry and stir-fried for a while, then added the sweet flower... Then put in two bowls of water and put in the fish fillets, asked the red hill crossbowman to increase the heat, and when the sauce was almost reduced, put in the sunset fruit pieces and stir-fry for a while before removing from the pan.

"Come, try it." King Hao poured a bowl for Ella.

"Wow, it smells so good! Thank you." Ella took it with her saliva drooling. This time, the gift she received from her Hillichul friend was no longer the black and slightly burnt happiness.

"The boss is worthy of being the boss. With the boss around, grass tastes as good as meat." A hill man danced with joy.

Congratulations, you, a monster (Hichill), have gained a human partner: Ella Musk, "Hichill Language Researcher." Your partner's favorability is 4, and you have received a reward of 400 experience points.

Oh my goodness, the favorability value increased as fast as an airplane, and it was directly raised to level 4 in one go. This is equivalent to several weeks of hard work for me.
