Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

"This magical beast can actually speak human language; it must be quite something."

Robin was drawn by the commotion and exclaimed in surprise when she saw the green turtle.

"Oh, you know him?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at Robin, who was also a native of the battlefield of the gods and might know something.

"I don't know him." Robin shook his head.

"..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan's expression turned hostile.

“Well, this monster must have had some powerful ancestors, otherwise it wouldn’t have developed intelligence at this stage.” Robin quickly explained, “Don’t be fooled by its large size, it’s actually in its juvenile stage, which makes it even more powerful.”

"Hmph, you little fox know what's good for you."

The green-skinned turtle, with its nostrils pointing upwards, adopted an arrogant posture.

"So what if they're gods? They still can't do anything to me!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan glanced indifferently at the arrogant green turtle, opened her mouth as if to shout, "God..."

The green turtle was so frightened that it quickly slapped the surface of the river, splashing water all over Zhang Xiaoyuan and interrupting her shouts.

"Look at you, what's the rush? The gods are so busy, don't disturb their rest."

The green turtle said somewhat anxiously, a hint of embarrassment flashing across its face. "Damn humans, are they so direct?"

A divine oath is the most legally binding verbal agreement.

Once it is sent out, it will be noticed by the gods.

Although the gods don't care about ants like them, what if they happen to notice them on a whim? Then they're doomed!

Therefore, the Green-skinned Turtle Monster dared not gamble.

"Alright, the gods are indeed quite busy. How about this, you do me a favor, and once you've done it, I won't tell the gods."

Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes darted around, as if she was plotting something.

"Human, are you threatening me?"

The green turtle's anger flared up again, and it stretched out its head to bite Zhang Xiaoyuan. But when its head got close to the riverbank, there was a "thump" as if it had hit something, and its head was knocked back. The green turtle grimaced in pain.

“You can choose to refuse.” Zhang Xiaoyuan shrugged and opened her mouth wide again.

"...Okay, I promise you!"

The green-skinned turtle gritted its teeth and spoke each word clearly.

Although the green-skinned tortoise did not believe that the gods would pay attention to Zhang Xiaoyuan, there were three other humans present who had participated in the oath to the gods, and two of them even entered their own stomachs not long afterward.

So the green turtle chickened out and didn't dare to try.

"Hehe, it's a pleasure to do business with you."

Zhang Xiaoyuan smiled and stated her conditions.

"First, take us across the river."

"Crossing the river? Can't we just use the bridge? Is that even a condition?" the green turtle wondered.

"Don't rush, let me finish. Besides crossing the river, you also need to take us to a place with delicious fish. I want to fish there until I'm satisfied," Zhang Xiaoyuan stated her second condition.

Fishing is a feature of every open-world game and a popular activity that many players want to participate in.

Sometimes you can catch extremely rare fish and exchange them for high-value items.

In the Battlefield of Gods, you can exchange for items that permanently increase your stats.

As for the bait, Zhang Xiaoyuan had collected over a hundred kinds of materials before, but they were no longer useful after the encyclopedia was lit up. Now it's time to put them to good use.

"Fishing for delicious fish?"

The green turtle was taken aback. What kind of strange hobby was this?

"Wait, you mean you want to sit on my back and have me take you fishing? Hahaha, human, aren't you afraid I'll break my promise and eat you?!"

"Then you can eat now."

Zhang Xiaoyuan remained calm as she passed through the invisible barrier on the riverbank, truly entering the attack range of the green-skinned turtle.

At the same time, he looked up at the sky with his mouth open.

The invisible barrier is a barrier set up by the gods to prevent more powerful monsters from leaving the riverbank, thus protecting the players and families living on the shore.

The protection becomes ineffective once a human player crosses the barrier.

"..."

The green turtle's lips twitched. This human really isn't afraid of death!

It's one thing if they didn't know about the divine oath, but the Green-skinned Turtle had witnessed Zhang Xiaoyuan and the others making the oath. After being threatened and intimidated by Zhang Xiaoyuan, it no longer had any intention to kill her and only wanted to separate from her as soon as possible.

"Okay, I agree to both of your conditions. Let's set off now!"

"The green-skinned turtle said bitterly."

"Wait a moment, I need a fishing rod."

Zhang Xiaoyuan ignored the impatient green turtle and turned to look at Robin.

"Give me the sturdiest fishing rod."

Zhang Xiaoyuan initially thought Robin's backpack was just an ordinary backpack.

But it wasn't until the last time she opened the backpack and the contents fell out that Zhang Xiaoyuan realized that the backpack was somewhat similar to the backpack on the data panel, and could also hold a lot of things.

It can even carry living creatures, something the backpack in the data panel can't match.

"what?"

Upon hearing that he wanted a fishing rod, Robin scratched his head awkwardly.

"Isn't it in your backpack?" Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned.

"No, it's just a regular fishing rod, not that sturdy," Robin explained. "Nobody usually buys these, so we didn't prepare one specifically."

Robin took out a wooden fishing rod, which was just an ordinary bamboo rod, with silk thread spun by a silkworm and an iron fishhook.

Zhang Xiaoyuan gripped it and shook it; it felt pretty good.

"This is it. I'll borrow it for now and return it to you when I'm done."

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't pay much attention. After all, when you're actually fishing, the rod is just a tool, not the main tool.

Robin: "?? Are you just robbing me outright now and not going to pay?"

Robin felt wronged, but he didn't dare to say it. Zhang Xiaoyuan had already said she would lend him the money, so how could he ask for it back?

Zhang Xiaoyuan walked back to the other side and found that Ci Nianyun was still standing in the same place, her pretty face flushed.

"I need to cross the river to fish. Do you want to come along?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan put away a pile of materials and asked in a calm voice.

"Ah, let's go, let's go now."

Having been a lackey so many times, Hou Mu was the first to react. He gave Ishida a push, then went to Ci Nianyun's side and said with a smile.

"Captain, let's pack up these materials and set off."

Hou Mu really wanted to leave with Zhang Xiaoyuan, but Ci Nianyun was his captain and had helped him a lot before. Moreover, Ci Nianyun was so beautiful, so Hou Mu came over to persuade Ci Nianyun to leave.

Based on his years of experience interacting with girls, Hou Mu knew that Ci Nianyun agreed in her heart, but she was too proud to admit it and needed a way to back down. He was willing to be that way, letting Ci Nianyun trample on it.

"Oh."

Ci Nianyun nodded gently, glanced at Zhang Xiaoyuan, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but her stubbornness over the years prevented her from speaking.

"Um, I can't fit all these materials in my backpack, Zhang Xiaoyuan, you can carry them."

These materials are not of high value, but they are the only things Ci Nianyun can offer.

As for the remaining favors, we'll owe them for now; she'll definitely repay them later!

Especially when Ci Nianyun thought about their first meeting, when she arrogantly said she would protect Zhang Xiaoyuan and take her to town, her cheeks flushed even more.

"He's clearly so strong, yet he pretends to be weak. What a villain!"
