Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

Ishida screamed in terror, hugging himself tightly, trying to find a sense of security.

"It's no big deal. I've already filed a report with the traffic police, and they've given me permission to drive on the road."

The taxi driver grinned, and at that moment, flames burst from the rear of the taxi, propelling it forward and allowing it to ignore traffic lights, weave through the crowds, and reach the wide road.

"Hehe, perfectly done."

The taxi driver smiled smugly and patted Ishida's thigh.

"Brother, calm down."

Ishida rolled his eyes at the taxi driver. "One leg and dangerous driving, how can you expect me to believe you?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan's expression remained unchanged. Even if the car crashed, he could get out of the car before it exploded on the ground.

Moreover, whether the energy from the car explosion could harm him is another matter.

"Sit tight, I'm about to accelerate."

The taxi driver kindly reminded him, but just two and a half seconds later, Ishida felt a strong push against his back. The seatbelt tightened around his neck, making it difficult to breathe, and he almost passed out on the spot.

Fortunately, my body had been strengthened by the earth's energy, which allowed me to gradually adapt.

"Wow! Is this a human-made beast-drawn chariot? It's really fast!"

Feeling the taxi speeding at 120 mph and watching the surrounding scenery rush by, Julia screamed excitedly.

"Hmph! Drive carefully, don't disturb my sleep."

The scruffy cat burrowed into Zhang Xiaoyuan's coat pocket, found a comfortable position, and continued to snore.

As Zhang Xiaoyuan watched the distance to Hemiao Town gradually shorten, her feelings became somewhat complicated.

I spent all three years of high school in the city and basically never went back.

Influenced by the original owner of the body, Zhang Xiaoyuan's mood also underwent some changes.

"This is probably what they mean by 'the closer you get to home, the more timid you become.'"

Zhang Xiaoyuan sighed, "In this world, only the strong can survive."

If it weren't for the divine blessing that allowed him to take over the body and receive the blessing of the God of Sleep, the original owner would probably have truly died.

His frail body could not withstand the blessings of the gods and wanted to receive more energy, which ultimately cost him his life.

With the taxi driver speeding along, the town of Hemiao quickly came into Zhang Xiaoyuan's view.

The town looks much the same as it did three years ago, except that some shops in familiar locations have closed down and been replaced by new ones.

The road was not easy to drive on, full of potholes, so the taxi driver had to slow down.

"Where do we go next?" the taxi driver asked.

"there."

Based on her memory, Zhang Xiaoyuan gave the taxi driver a route.

That was a rural road leading to the village.

The road is covered with asphalt, but several sections are damaged, with large gaps in the road. The soil underneath was also added later, and it doesn't match the surrounding asphalt at all.

This was unfamiliar to Zhang Xiaoyuan, and she felt a vague sense of nervousness.

"Just stop here."

Zhang Xiaoyuan spoke softly, preparing to get out of the car and pay the fare.

"Excuse me, could I take a picture with you? My son really admires people like you with special abilities, and you're the champion. If I take a picture and show it to him, he'll be very happy," the taxi driver pleaded.

"of course can."

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't refuse; it was just taking a photo.

"Hey hey, thanks, dark-faced little brother, take a picture of me and the champion."

The taxi driver chuckled and tossed his phone to Ishida, asking him to take a picture.

"Hey, who are you calling dark-skinned? I'm perfectly healthy!"

Ishida glared at the taxi driver, but considering that the driver had brought him here, he decided to forgive his rudeness.

Ishida pursed his lips and told the taxi driver to get into position so he could start filming.

"eggplant!"

The taxi driver put his arm around Zhang Xiaoyuan's shoulder and grinned, showing his two front teeth.

"All right."

Ishida handed the phone back to the taxi driver and said calmly.

This person didn't even recognize him as the champion; that's incredibly disrespectful.

Since that's the case, let him miss the chance to be on par with a champion like himself!

"Humph!"

Ishida pouted and followed Zhang Xiaoyuan toward the village.

As soon as Zhang Xiaoyuan arrived at the village entrance, she saw a banner that looked very similar to the banners held by the people at the station. Both banners were celebrating Zhang Xiaoyuan's victory in the championship.

However, there were not many people on the main street of the village; only a few figures hurried by.

"Little Yuan, where do you live?"

Julia looked around the village with curiosity. Was this a primitive human village? It didn't look like the villages of her elven race at all.

"It's just at the other end of the village."

Zhang Xiaoyuan pointed.

Looking from one end of the village to the other, the village that seemed so big when I was a child doesn't seem so big now.

When I was a child, I thought it would take half a day to walk around the village, but now I can walk around it in just a short while.

"I am back."

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but say this, her gaze fixed in one direction, and she took a step forward, walking quickly towards it.

Yulia and Ishida followed closely behind.

The two of them were completely unfamiliar with this place, so they followed Zhang Xiaoyuan wherever she went.

Zhang Xiaoyuan did not go to the village, but instead went to the farmland outside the village.

There are small mounds of earth on the land, with broken bamboo wreaths and tombstones that are about to be buried by the soil.

Zhang Xiaoyuan paused briefly before walking toward the two adjacent graves.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back to see you."

Zhang Xiaoyuan said in a deep voice, wiped the inscription on the tombstone that had been covered by wind and sand, and took out some offerings from her backpack and placed them on it.

His parents were around the time the original owner was six years old. In order to protect the original owner, they fought against the monsters with their own bodies, buying time for the original owner to escape.

Although the original owner survived, her parents died at the hands of the monsters.

The monster was later killed by the arriving forces, but his parents never came back to life.

After kneeling down and kowtowing three times, Zhang Xiaoyuan remained silent, then got up and left.

I came across a figure, one arm, slightly hunched over, with graying hair, who looked quite old.

"Grandpa Village Chief?"

When Zhang Xiaoyuan saw the old man opposite her, she instinctively called out to him.

"You are... Xiaoyuan?"

The old man's squinting eyes widened in disbelief as he hurried toward Zhang Xiaoyuan, scrutinizing her closely.

"It's you, it really is you, child! You haven't been back for three years!"

The old man excitedly grabbed Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand, his face turning bright red as he spoke.

"It's me, Grandpa Village Chief! I'm back!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan smiled and gave the old man a big hug.

"Hehe, it's good to come back and visit."

My child, you've been gone for three years. Nobody knows if you're doing well or if you're suffering.

However, we saw a news report about you on TV the day before yesterday. They said you won first place in the assessment. My child, you've really succeeded! Your parents, if they could see this from heaven, would be so proud!

The old man held Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand tightly and said happily.

"Grandpa Village Chief, how are you feeling? I'm looking at your arm..."
