Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

"Oh, that's alright."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was the world's number one gamer in his previous life, but he knew nothing about cooking. He could even mess up food that only needed to be heated.

In contrast, the smelt is naturally delicious and tastes amazing, so the slightly burnt taste is completely negligible to him.

Really? I'm glad you like it!

Ci Nianyun laughed out loud, thinking that Zhang Xiaoyuan had accepted her apology. Little did she know that Zhang Xiaoyuan had not taken her misunderstanding to heart at all.

After all, girls are strange creatures with peculiar thought processes. As long as they're not the "version T0" from their past lives, it's fine.

The pot of fish soup was quickly finished, and the green turtle also got its share of the shimmering fish skeleton.

"hateful!"

The green turtle got angry and then vented its frustration on the shimmering fish bones, intending to chew them up one by one!

It's definitely not that it's reluctant to eat it so quickly!

Having gained experience from her first attempt at catching swirlfish, Zhang Xiaoyuan's subsequent fishing trips went much more smoothly. She understood the stamina limits of swirlfish and could easily lift the fish up after playing it.

An hour has passed, and there are 26 luminous fish on the back of the green turtle, after deducting the one given to the turtle.

There were only two or three glitterfish left in the baited area, as Zhang Xiaoyuan had caught most of them.

"26 items, that doesn't seem like a lot."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xiaoyuan decided to catch 100 Flowing Fish based on the activation of the encyclopedia and the reward exchange conditions of the open-world game.

One hundred may seem like a lot, but compared to this lake that stretches for thousands of meters, it's not that many.

Therefore, although the gliding fish is a rare species, Zhang Xiaoyuan finally caught 100 gliding fish, as well as hundreds of other types of fish.

Moreover, because they were monsters, although their levels were low, their large numbers provided Zhang Xiaoyuan with experience, allowing her to level up to 14 and become the highest-level member of the team.

Name: Zhang Xiaoyuan (18 years old, male)

Level: 14 (132 experience points are needed to level up).

Strength:99.

Defense: 79.

Speed: 94.

Wisdom: 54.

Stamina: 79.

Skills: Sleep Combat, Berserk 2 (Advanced), Execute 3 (Intermediate).

Characteristic: Armor Penetration (Ignores one-tenth of the enemy's defense).

It's only 1 point away from breaking the 100 mark in strength, but it's still far behind the Green-skinned Turtle.

As darkness fell, Zhang Xiaoyuan noticed a pair of bright green lanterns nearby, which were the longing eyes of the green-skinned turtle.

Zhang Xiaoyuan saw greed, hesitation, and murderous intent in it...

Sensing that the green-skinned turtle was about to burst, Zhang Xiaoyuan spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Great God of Sleep, your divinely bestowed one Zhang Xiaoyuan calls upon you, offering you the most delicious fish in the world, please enjoy."

"Roar!"

The green turtle let out a low growl. Damn it, it was just one step away from eating so many delicious glittering fish!

Now it can only watch helplessly as Zhang Xiaoyuan commands these shimmering fish.

But after waiting for a while, the green turtle found that there was nothing unusual in the sky, and the fish on its back was still there.

"The gods ignored this human?!"

The green turtle was overjoyed but didn't react. Does this mean the gods weren't paying attention to this human at all, and that it can enjoy a feast today?

Thinking of this, the green turtle roared excitedly, raised its head, and looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan and the others with a mocking expression. It exuded a powerful aura, trying to see a look of fear on Zhang Xiaoyuan's face.

But the green turtle found that things were not as it had expected. Apart from Zhang Xiaoyuan, everyone else knelt down with pious expressions.

This left the green-skinned turtle somewhat bewildered; was it really that powerful?

The green turtle was so happy it wanted to laugh out loud, but suddenly it found it couldn't move its mouth.

"Wait, what happened?"

The dark night suddenly brightened, and colorful clouds appeared on the horizon.

"This phenomenon... how is this possible! How could such a powerful being emerge from a mere shimmering fish?!"

The green-skinned turtle was terrified.

In the frozen vision of the green-skinned tortoise, he saw a huge purple magical beast emerge from a rainbow of colors.

"The God of Sleep—Baku!"

It has an elephant trunk, rhinoceros eyes, an ox tail, tiger feet, and its ivory gleams with a white light.

With a sniff of its long, narrow nose, the Dream Eater sucked up all the shimmering fish around Zhang Xiaoyuan, rolled them into its mouth, and chewed them up.

Having tasted the deliciousness of the Flowing Light Fish, the Dream Eater let out a joyful roar, its eyes filled with satisfaction as it looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"Not bad, the shimmering fish you gave me is much tastier than the 'Stargazing' fish from last time."

"Speak, what reward do you want?"

"I want to upgrade the data panel to make it more powerful," Zhang Xiaoyuan said.

Upgrading the data panel was something Zhang Xiaoyuan had planned long ago.

The data panel function has been upgraded, allowing Zhang Xiaoyuan to look at items more carefully and avoid missing treasures that the data panel cannot recognize.

This will make it easier to complete the encyclopedia and obtain more item rewards.

"That's it? Simple."

With a flick of its trunk, the Dream Eater sent something flying out, hurtling straight toward him.

call out!

Zhang Xiaoyuan's body instinctively resisted, but the sticky feeling she had imagined did not appear. Instead, she felt a cool sensation similar to jelly.

Ten seconds passed quickly, the transparent jelly dissipated, and Zhang Xiaoyuan opened the data panel. After checking, the observed item data indeed became more detailed.

Just like the Radiant Fish, the previous description was "Born in the windy grasslands along the riverbanks and lakes, with a delicious taste". After the upgrade, in addition to these descriptions, you can also see the Radiant Fish's various stats and skills.

The aquatic plants on the turtle's back have also changed. The previous description was "Ordinary aquatic plants, which can restore 1 point of stamina after consumption," but now the entry "Low-level resource" has been added.

"It seems that these items are also graded. In the future, we should pick and choose to collect medium-grade or even high-grade resources, and the effects of the items obtained will be better."

Zhang Xiaoyuan suppressed the urge to collect the items immediately and looked up to express her gratitude to the God of Sleep, Dream Eater, only to find that Dream Eater had already disappeared without a trace.

However, Zhang Xiaoyuan heard the mysterious voice of the Dream Eater again:

"After you fall asleep, experience the new ability carefully; it will give you a surprise."

"Does it have other abilities?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan opened the data panel again and found that all of his abilities had increased by 10 points, and new skills had appeared in the skill bar.

[Skill: Dream Clone. Blessed by the god of sleep, the Dream Eater, this ability allows the user to create a separate, illusory clone while asleep. This clone possesses all the abilities of the original body and does not affect the original. If the original body dies during sleep, the clone can be reborn as the original body.]

"If I were to be resurrected in my sleep after death, wouldn't I be immortal?!"
