Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

"A god-tier skill attribute, is it because this skill was bestowed by the gods?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes. A god-level skill, something that had never appeared before, but it looked more powerful than a high-level skill.

However, according to statistics from Blue Star, most of the skills bestowed by the gods are not even as powerful as low-level or mid-level skills.

"Perhaps it's because the Radiant Fish pleased the gods, it seems there's another way to become stronger in the future."

Soon after, Zhang Xiaoyuan was awakened by the fragrance.

In front of him was a pot of milky white fish soup.

To Zhang Xiaoyuan's surprise, the fish soup was completely stewed until tender, but the fish meat was still fresh, tender, and bouncy.

"How did you do that?" Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask after taking a sip and tasting the delicious fish soup.

“This…” Ishida looked at Ci Nianyun cautiously.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Hmm?"

"Yes, it's me!"

Ci Nianyun smiled broadly, puffing out her chest proudly. She might not know how to cook fish, but she had eaten plenty of delicious fish.

"It's ice! While you were distracted, I took the opportunity to wrap the fish in ice so that it wouldn't fall apart while the soup was cooking, keeping it in its best condition."

"How about it, am I awesome?"

Ci Nianyun stared intently at Zhang Xiaoyuan, pouting her lips, as if asking Zhang Xiaoyuan to praise her.

"Hmm, your cooking is very good."

Zhang Xiaoyuan patted Ishida on the shoulder, ignoring Ci Nianyun standing to the side.

He dared not praise Ci Nianyun. If he did, wouldn't he be in big trouble? What if she created another culinary disaster? That would be disastrous!

"Mmmmmmm!!"

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoyuan remained unmoved, Ci Nianyun was so angry that she jumped up and down.

She wanted to teach Zhang Xiaoyuan a lesson, but then she remembered that Zhang Xiaoyuan was already stronger than her before, and now he was five levels higher. How could she possibly teach him a lesson? Damn it!

After breakfast, Zhang Xiaoyuan called out to the sleeping green turtle, "Let's go, take us to the other side."

Zhang Xiaoyuan found a new route, which deviated a bit from the previously planned route, but was about the same distance from Elf City.

"Oh? You're leaving now? Okay, I'll see you off right away."

The green turtle yawned. It was still a bit grumpy when it woke up, but when it heard that Zhang Xiaoyuan was leaving, it was overjoyed. Its limbs flapped rapidly underwater, just to send Zhang Xiaoyuan away as soon as possible.

Twenty minutes later, after crossing the rushing river, everyone stepped onto solid ground again, feeling a sense of security.

After seeing Zhang Xiaoyuan and the others off, Green Turtle left quickly without saying goodbye.

"This cowardly turtle..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was speechless. It was supposed to be the offspring of a demigod, yet it was so timid.

Through the upgraded data panel, Zhang Xiaoyuan was able to see detailed information about the green-skinned turtle.

[Green-skinned Turtle, Level 44, third-generation offspring of the demigod Azure Turtle of the Lava Lake, Skill: Water Play..., Ability Values: ...]

"The demigod Azure Turtle, judging from its name, should be the strongest being below the gods. But why has it never been recorded before? And why has it never appeared in the human world? Could it be that it is dead?"

He shook his head slightly, clearing these thoughts from his mind. He was only level 16, and all he needed to think about was becoming stronger. No matter how strong others were, it had nothing to do with him.

Drop drop!

The group hadn't gone far from the riverbank when a notification sound suddenly appeared on the map, indicating that another player had appeared nearby.

And judging from the distance, it was not far from them.

"How could players suddenly appear? Do they teleport?!"

Hou Mu was shocked. If the opponent really had such terrifying skills, then what was the point of them fighting? Even Zhang Xiaoyuan would not be a match for them.

"Idiot, it's because we came from the river to the shore, the map changed, and after the refresh, we found other players."

After Ishida finished explaining, he looked at Hou Mu as if he were an idiot, "You didn't even think of that, did you?"

"I, of course I know, I'm just reminding everyone to be careful."

Hou Mu was stubborn and refused to admit that he was a coward, so he spoke up to remind him.

"Look, the map shows that those three red dots are getting closer to us. Shouldn't we prepare in advance? We can't be like last time, where we were tied up and unable to fight back."

"Yes, Hou Mu is right. We must not let ourselves fall into a trap again. We must at least have the ability to protect ourselves."

Thinking about how she almost got killed before, Ci Nianyun felt a sense of resentment.

She started with an intelligence value of 11 points, making her the second most talented person in the world. Yet, she almost fell into the hands of a treacherous ugly woman, which was something she couldn't tolerate.

This time, she was determined to show Zhang Xiaoyuan what she was capable of.

The tactic was simple: last time they were trapped by the enemy while standing together, this time the three of them found a spot and hid behind a tree.

Although their position will still be exposed to the other side, at least they won't be as passive as before.

As for Zhang Xiaoyuan...

Ci Nianyun glanced at Zhang Xiaoyuan, who was lying dead in the grass—no, asleep—and remained silent.

Isn't this too hasty?

Although I know you're strong, this bait is way too obvious. You're practically afraid the other side won't fall for it!

Zhang Xiaoyuan was unaware of Ci Nianyun's thoughts. At this moment, his clone had already arrived on the tree and, based on the map's hints, saw three figures sneaking forward.

"Captain, those four figures just stopped moving. They must have set a trap for us," said the bald-headed boy, Li Ge.

"So what if there's a trap? Does he think he's higher level than us? Die!"

The bespectacled boy, Fang Hui, squinted, making his already small eyes appear as mere slits.

"Wenxiu, now you can start gathering apples. Thank you for your hard work."

The bespectacled boy looked at his other teammate, a girl with the face of a first love, pure and innocent, with more than a dozen delicate-looking dolls dressed in school uniforms hanging from her waist.

However, Fang Hui and Li Ge did not get close to Wen Xiu; instead, they kept their distance.

"Ah."

Wenxiu nodded slightly, and as she moved her hands, purple gas emerged, making a hissing sound. Under Wenxiu's control, it gradually formed four large, purplish-red apples.

"One bite, and they'll become my toys, hahaha..."

Seeing Wenxiu's increasingly sickly pale smile, the two of them couldn't help but tremble.

"They're here, about 200 meters away at the 3 o'clock position."

Zhang Xiaoyuan's sleeping body suddenly spoke, startling the tense Hou Mu.

Ishida remained silent, but the barely suppressed smile in his eyes made Hou Mu's face turn extremely ugly.

"You little brat who's gotten away with this! Once I acquire even stronger skills, I'll definitely teach you a lesson, you worthless cook!" Hou Mu roared inwardly.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

But when the enemy arrived, the expected fight did not happen. Instead, the enemy raised their hands and smiled, indicating that they wanted to negotiate.

"Their behavior in the woods earlier didn't seem like they were looking to negotiate."

Recalling Fang Hui and the other two's actions, Zhang Xiaoyuan's clone whispered a reminder in Ci Nianyun's ear.

Feeling a warm breath on her ear, Ci Nianyun stiffened and blushed. "That rascal, getting so close to me, doesn't he know men and women shouldn't touch each other?!"
