I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

He didn't know when, but Wang Xiaoyi had fallen asleep. The amount of information he'd received yesterday was overwhelming; his head felt like a jumbled mess, a jumble of knowledge and images intertwined, leaving his brain barely a moment's rest. When he woke up this morning, his head was buzzing, as if a swarm of bees were buzzing inside.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, watching the sunlight outside the window dappling the ground. He knew a new day had begun, but he felt as if his body was still immersed in yesterday's dream.

Last night, he had all sorts of strange dreams. In his dreams, he became an alchemist, owning his own alchemy workshop. The workshop was filled with all sorts of strange instruments and reagents, as well as huge alchemical furnaces, their flames roaring and emitting mysterious light.

He was busy in his dream, stirring and mixing various ingredients in a large pot every day. Some of these ingredients emitted a rich aroma, while others emitted a pungent odor. With his skillful hands, he mixed the various ingredients together in precise proportions, and then carefully poured them into the alchemical furnace.

As the flames flickered, the materials began to undergo wondrous transformations. Some turned into glittering gems, while others became bottles of precious magical potions. Looking at his creations, he felt a surge of accomplishment and pride.

However, a dream is still a dream. When Wang Xiaoyi woke up, he found himself still lying in bed.

Sunlight streamed through the window into the room, and when Wang Xiaoyi got up, he could already smell the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen.

After washing up, Wang Xiaoyi saw his mother busy at the dining table. The table was laden with various delicious foods: hot fried eggs, golden toast, his mother's special jam, and jianbing (Chinese crepes). Wang Xiaoyi's stomach immediately rumbled, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, delicious!"

When his mother saw Wang Xiaoyi, she scolded him, "Lazybones, you just got up, the sun's already high in the sky." Although her tone was reproachful, Wang Xiaoyi could feel the love and warmth in her mother's words.

The Elf King Dragon (parrot form) also smelled the aroma of breakfast. It flew out of Wang Xiaoyi's room, transformed into human form, and, dressed in an elegant robe, walked to the dining table. Its eyes were fixed on the food on the table, and it excitedly said, "It smells so good! I want to eat too!"

The mother smiled and shook her head, handing the Elf King Dragon a set of cutlery. The Elf King Dragon took the cutlery and immediately began to devour its food. Between bites, it exclaimed, "Delicious, delicious! This fried egg is so tasty, and this toast, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it's simply amazing!" It ate with great relish, completely abandoning its usual haughty demeanor.

Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but laugh as he watched the elven dragon's gluttonous appearance. He felt that although the elven dragon was powerful and mysterious, it had a fatal weakness when faced with delicious food.

After finishing breakfast, Wang Xiaoyi took a deep breath, a determined expression on his face, and told his parents that he had become an adventurer. He said, "Mom and Dad, I'm an adventurer now. I can go to the guild to take on quests and earn money. That way, you won't have to work so hard." As he spoke, he took out all the silver coins he had accumulated during this time and placed them on the dining table.

The parents stared in astonishment at the pile of gleaming silver coins before them. The mother carefully picked up the coins, examining them closely, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She gently stroked them, as if caressing a precious gift. Then, she placed the coins back in Wang Xiaoyi's hand, saying firmly, "We don't want these. Since you've become an adventurer, you definitely need them more than we do. We just need them for daily life; we don't need much money at all."

Looking into his mother's determined eyes, Wang Xiaoyi was deeply moved. He knew his parents had always worked hard for his future, and now he finally had the ability to repay them. Unable to dissuade his mother from her insistence, he reluctantly left behind two silver coins. Seeing that Wang Xiaoyi had agreed, his mother smiled with relief; at least she had accepted the two silver coins.

Although the father didn't speak, his eyes were full of pride and joy. Looking at Wang Xiaoyi, he seemed to see his former self, that young man with dreams and the courage to strive.

Wang Xiaoyi had clear goals: level up, make money, change jobs, build houses, refine medicine, and also manage the game. The first step was leveling up, and taking quests from a guild was a shortcut. He knew that relying on a system error to level up faster was unlikely, and he couldn't count on this unreliable system.

Although Wang Xiaoyi had previously obtained numerous titles, achievements, and passive skills through the Priest class change dungeon and the Nightmare difficulty dungeon of the Elf King Dragon, these had not helped him at this stage; the bonuses were still zero. He only reached level 6 by passively using his damage reflection skill to kill monsters, and he didn't receive any experience or gold rewards from the Nightmare difficulty dungeon.

Wang Xiaoyi's current health is quite high, but his other attributes are abysmal. He possesses a plethora of passive skills and various buffs, yet his combat power is pathetic. Therefore, Wang Xiaoyi first went to the guild to see what quests suited him. In a corner of the guild, Wang Xiaoyi noticed a level 1 newbie who had just become an adventurer. This newbie seemed somewhat nervous and hesitant, staring blankly at the quest board. Finally, hesitantly, he accepted a quest involving herding ducks. This quest required two people, and the timid newbie was too embarrassed to ask to team up. Wang Xiaoyi found his hesitation amusing and proactively offered to team up with him to complete the quest.

A system notification suddenly sounded: "Ding, the duck herding task has been issued."

Task Description: The farmer needs to herd a flock of ducks into a designated enclosure, but there is a large goose in the duck pen that is very aggressive. The farmer must handle the situation carefully and avoid harming the goose.

The mission location is a spacious farm surrounded by a fence, with a large pond in the center. Ducks are playing in the pond, while a large goose guards the entrance to the duck pen, vigilantly watching its surroundings.

System notification: The goose has very strong attack power; do not attempt to confront it head-on.

Several attempts to approach the duck pen were thwarted by the geese's fierce counterattacks. Wang Xiaoyi and the newcomer had to carefully devise a plan. They divided the work: Wang Xiaoyi would distract the geese while the newcomer herded the ducks into the enclosure. After several attempts, they finally found the right moment. In the instant Wang Xiaoyi successfully distracted the geese, the newcomer swiftly moved, safely herding the ducks into the enclosure. Although the geese chased after them angrily, they ultimately failed to stop them.

A system notification rang crisply in Wang Xiaoyi's ears: "Ding, mission complete. Mission rewards: 20 experience points and 20 copper coins."

After much hard work, Wang Xiaoyi and the newcomer finally completed the task successfully. The farm owner expressed his heartfelt gratitude to them.

The newcomer's name was Alpha, the son of a hunter, who also dreamed of adventure and registered as an adventurer as soon as he reached the required age. Wang Xiaoyi and Alpha had just finished their duck-herding task, which was also Wang Xiaoyi's first officially completed mission. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, but it couldn't hide the mud covering their bodies. Alpha looked down at his dirty clothes, a hint of embarrassment and helplessness on his face.

Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Alpha's appearance. He gently patted Alpha's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we'll go back now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiaoyi raised his right hand, palm up, and muttered incantations. Suddenly, a soft light emanated from his palm, enveloping the two of them. After the light gradually dissipated, Wang Xiaoyi and Alpha's clothes and trousers were completely renewed, as if they had just been pulled out of the water.

Alpha stared in astonishment at his clothes, then at Wang Xiaoyi, his eyes gleaming with admiration. "Brother Renn, you're amazing! What kind of magic is that?"

With a smile, Raine explained, "This is a magic cleansing spell I just learned. It can remove dirt from the body in a short time." Actually, this was also Wang Xiaoyi's first time casting magic, and he was quite nervous. In the past, when playing games, he would just set a hotkey, a number, or something like F. This time, he had to mumble some incantations. Luckily, he had marked the pinyin, otherwise he really wouldn't understand it.

The two chatted as they walked back. Suddenly, Wang Xiaoyi seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Alpha, did you do the job change quest?"

Alpha shook his head, a hint of hesitation on his face. "I'm still undecided; I don't know which career to choose."

Wang Xiaoyi looked at Alpha thoughtfully and said, "Actually, I think your personality is very suitable for becoming a thief."

Alpha looked at Wang Xiaoyi with some surprise and asked in confusion, "A thief? I think I'm a coward and not suited for fighting." Alpha's voice grew softer and softer, his cowardice even greater than that of Renn.

Wang Xiaoyi patiently explained, "It's precisely because you're timid that you're better suited to hiding and ambushing from the shadows. The thief profession perfectly suits your characteristics. Moreover, if you're lucky, you can even change your profession to the mysterious hidden profession of the East—the ninja."

Hearing this, Alpha's eyes lit up. He exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Can I really do it? Is it even possible to become a ninja?"

Wang Xiaoyi smiled and nodded: "Of course. However, it will require a lot of effort and time. You need to learn how to hide yourself and how to launch attacks quickly and accurately. It is a challenging path, but as long as you persevere, you will definitely become an outstanding adventurer."

Alpha took a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination. He said firmly, "Brother Renn, thank you for all your advice. I've decided, I want to become a thief, and in the future, I'll strive to become a ninja to protect my family and friends!"

Wang Xiaoyi looked intently at Alpha, his eyes filled with expectation and anticipation. He said slowly, "Alpha, I have very high expectations for your future. I believe that as long as you maintain your current enthusiasm and perseverance, you will definitely become an outstanding adventurer."

After a pause, Wang Xiaoyi continued, "I hope you can constantly challenge yourself, explore those unknown territories, and conquer those seemingly insurmountable difficulties. Every adventure is an opportunity for growth, and every challenge is a process of training. I believe that through these adventures and challenges, you will continuously improve your strength and become stronger and braver. Of course, I am very willing to face these adventures and challenges with you." Wang Xiaoyi's magic of praise had begun again, unstoppable.

Wang Xiaoyi's eyes brightened, and he said, "I also hope that you can become a responsible and accountable adventurer. During your adventures, you should not only focus on your own growth, but also on your companions and those who need help. You should learn to use your strength to protect them, your courage to inspire them, and your wisdom to guide them."

Wang Xiaoyi gently patted Alpha's shoulder, his tone gentle yet powerful: "Alpha, I believe you can become a legendary adventurer. Your future is full of infinite possibilities. As long as you are willing to pursue and work hard, you will definitely be able to realize your dreams."

Alpha listened to Wang Xiaoyi's words, his heart filled with gratitude and determination. He knew that Wang Xiaoyi's expectations for him were not only that he become a powerful adventurer, but also that he become a responsible and dependable person. He said firmly, "Thank you, Brother Renn. I will strive to meet your expectations and become an adventurer you can be proud of."

Wang Xiaoyi smiled and nodded. He knew his praise had worked; Alpha had become a devoted fan of his. Alpha fully understood Wang Xiaoyi's expectations and was ready to face future challenges. He believed that as long as they worked together and took risks together, the future would surely bring even more surprises and rewards.

A crisp system notification sounded in Wang Xiaoyi's ears: "Ding, gratitude points +50." This simple notification filled Wang Xiaoyi with immense satisfaction. He felt secretly pleased, as if he were hearing the system's affirmation of his achievement: "A promising student, a promising student indeed." This large sum of gratitude points made him feel incredibly content.

Wang Xiaoyi was eagerly anticipating what treasure he could obtain from this large sum of gratitude points. He hadn't had time to look at all the information he needed to process yesterday, and his heart was filled with anticipation; he was determined to investigate it thoroughly tonight.

Just then, he realized he absolutely had to keep Alpha, this little fanboy, firmly in his grasp. Alpha's adoration and trust were like a reliable gratitude generator, constantly bringing him rich rewards. Looking into Alpha's fervent gaze, he felt secretly smug.

Alpha thought Wang Xiaoyi was encouraging him, and his gaze became even more fervent, as if he wanted to pour all his passion and admiration into Wang Xiaoyi. He gripped Wang Xiaoyi's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Brother Ren, I will definitely work harder and won't let you down!"

Wang Xiaoyi smiled and patted Alpha on the shoulder, his heart filled with satisfaction and contentment. He knew that Alpha's loyalty and trust were his most precious assets. Their friendship and cooperative relationship would be a powerful driving force for his adventures in this fantastical world.

At the same time, he also thought of the Elf King Dragon. That proud and mysterious elf, though sometimes unpredictable, possessed undeniable strength and wisdom. He was also a reliable gratitude generator, capable of bringing him generous rewards whenever he wished.

Wang Xiaoyi thought of Alpha and the Elf King Dragon, his heart filled with anticipation and longing. He knew that with their support and help, his adventure would be smoother and more exciting. The three of them were like a sturdy ship, sailing bravely and forging ahead in the ocean of this fantasy world.
