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

In the afternoon, I was subjected to a "stormy" training session by President Winnie, and then that other thing happened in the evening. At first, Alpha and Allen were like fully charged little motors, full of energy, and didn't feel anything was wrong. But after they finished working and that energy relaxed, hey, they felt like they had been beaten up, and their bodies ached a lot.

President Winnie's three-day "babysitting" mission was finally complete. But who could have imagined that tonight they would be suddenly attacked by a dark cult? This dark cult, like demons emerging from the ground, suddenly appeared in the food street. Fortunately, Lord Leon made a dazzling appearance at this moment, like a ray of sunlight piercing through the darkness. He quickly scared away the man in black robes and even unexpectedly obtained a box that emitted a faint dark aura.

This is like a large stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, instantly disrupting the peaceful adventure. Everyone knows that a bloody storm is inevitable. They were originally planning to comfortably begin their adventure in 15 days as originally intended, but now it seems they'll have to move it up. They need to find the Time Hand fragments and the remaining equipment of the Time Guardian before the dark forces arrive.

Alpha and Allen were like two limp noodles, completely drained of energy, collapsing to the ground like rag dolls. Dragging their weary bodies back to their lodgings, they didn't even have the strength to change their clothes before falling into a deep sleep.

After returning to his room, Wang Xiaoyi showed no intention of resting. He sat quietly on the edge of the bed and began to silently chat with the Elf King Dragon in his mind. The Elf King Dragon, through sharing its senses with Wang Xiaoyi, quickly detected the aura of the hero Leon. Upon sensing this aura, its initial wariness instantly dissipated, and it thought that this encounter should be temporarily safe.

Speaking of this hero, Leon, the Elf King Dragon still had some impression of him. In its memory, Leon was a very humble, quiet, and exceptionally polite fellow. Unlike some other heroes, whose eyes were glued to Leon as soon as they saw him, staring only at the treasures he guarded; their greedy appearance was truly unpleasant.

As for the Elf King Dragon now, it's a complete shut-in. As soon as it hears there's no danger, it's like a snail with its feet glued to the door, unwilling to even step out. All it wants is to stay peacefully at home, comfortably playing its favorite games and reading interesting comics.

This elven dragon king has recently become obsessed with Sailor Moon manga. One moment its eyes are shining, and it's chanting, "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" It even imitates the tone perfectly, like an innocent child mimicking an adult. It's both infuriating and utterly hilarious.

With nothing else to do, Wang Xiaoyi felt like a light, floating feather, utterly exhausted from the day's busyness. All he wanted to do was sink into his warm bed and drift into a sweet dream. Just as he was about to close his eyes, a system notification suddenly rang out. The sound, like a crisp bolt of lightning, exploded in the silent room, followed by an ethereal voice in his mind: "Gratitude points +1000."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoyi was overjoyed, like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert suddenly seeing an oasis. His lips unconsciously curled into a smile, and his eyes gleamed with excitement. He couldn't help but think to himself, "Could it be that as long as it's related to me, benefits just fall from the sky like manna from heaven? This is unbelievable! I've really struck gold today! I didn't do anything and yet I got a wave of gratitude points for free. This feeling is absolutely amazing!" As he thought this, his mind began to concoct all sorts of wonderful plans.

He thought, "I can't be as foolish as before. From now on, I'll get involved in everything, no matter how strange or interesting it is. I don't need to be like those brave adventurers, charging into battle and showing my face. Even just being a quiet bystander would be fine. As long as I can stay around the events, I might be able to earn gratitude points like harvesting radishes, one wave after another."

Before he could even recover from this unexpected little moment of happiness, the system notification sound, like a mischievous child, started bothering him again: "Ding, please draw from the rare prize pool once." Hearing this, Wang Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat, as if a feather had gently tickled it. He instantly realized that this was likely his goddess trying to send him a message in this way.

However, this goddess's thoughts are as unpredictable as the clouds in the sky. What will she say to him this time? Has she discovered something interesting, or does she have something very important to entrust to him? Wang Xiaoyi's curiosity burned brightly like a small flame that had been lit.

Filled with a mixture of anticipation and curiosity, Wang Xiaoyi, like a devout believer approaching a sacred temple, solemnly opened the gratitude point lottery interface. His eyes were fixed on the screen, his fingers trembling slightly, as if he were about to open a mysterious treasure chest filled with riches. Then, without hesitation, he drew a rare item. In an instant, a faint light, like a veil, drifted across the screen, and a small slip of paper, like a mysterious elf, appeared in his hand.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the note to examine it closely. The note read, "Beware of him." These two simple words appeared before him like two mysterious symbols. Wang Xiaoyi's brows furrowed slightly, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, his heart filled with doubt. These two words, seemingly simple, were like a huge enigma, making him feel as if he were standing in a fog, unable to find his way. Who was "he"? Why would the goddess specifically warn him to be wary of him? Was there some unknown secret hidden behind this? Countless questions bubbled and churned in his mind like boiling water.

Looking further down the note, there was a dazzlingly complex magic circle. This circle resembled a mysterious labyrinth constructed from countless lines, crisscrossing and intricately intertwined like a giant, enigmatic spiderweb extending from the paper. Each line seemed to possess its own soul, meandering and weaving together as if performing an ancient and mysterious dance. The colors of the lines were extremely peculiar: the deep blue lines, like cold stars twinkling in the deep night sky, exuded a mysterious and chilling aura; the deep purplish-black lines, like black holes in the cosmos, concealed endless unknowns and mysteries. They intertwined and crisscrossed, like two mysterious dancers performing a silent legend on the paper, seemingly whispering ancient and mysterious stories sealed away by time.

Beside the complex magic circle, a line of words was neatly written: "I am very clever to have researched this magic circle. In the future, there will be no need to go to the temple to worship. You can send your offerings to me through this magic circle." As soon as Wang Xiaoyi's eyes swept over these words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. A mischievous little monkey seemed to be leaping and bounding through his mind, one thought after another popping up: "What a foodie goddess! How could she have such peculiar ideas? She has the time and energy to meticulously research this teleportation magic circle, just to conveniently get delicious food and fun things, without ever considering the effort to save the world." This thought was like a tiny bubble just emerging, which he forcibly suppressed as soon as it appeared. Then he quickly adjusted his thoughts, re-imagining this goddess as incredibly great and noble. He silently praised the goddess in his heart, thinking that she truly knew how to enjoy life. No matter what, she could always find a way to make herself happy in every corner of life. Even such a small trick reflected her love for life and her indescribable love for food. He felt that the goddess was like the most beautiful flower blooming in a lush garden, always elegantly displaying her charm in the most unique way, attracting the attention of those around her.

Wang Xiaoyi's gaze refocused on the three words "Beware of him" on the note. His expression turned serious. The character had the radical for "person," clearly indicating a male. However, clues about this man were pitifully scarce, as difficult as searching for a needle on a vast, boundless ocean. This situation was like a huge, invisible mystery, its jaws gaping wide before him, seemingly taunting him and waiting for him to muster the courage to find the key to unlock it. He knew perfectly well that this seemingly simple request might conceal a profound intention from the goddess, perhaps a crucial turning point in the entire story. Thinking of this, a resolute light shone in his eyes. He secretly resolved to keep a close watch on this mysterious "him," and to find this enigmatic figure lurking in the shadows no matter what.

Wang Xiaoyi gently picked up the note and laid it flat on the bed. Then, he opened his backpack and took out all the food and items he had won through the gratitude points lottery system. The colorful food and oddly shaped items instantly filled a corner of the bed. Next, he carefully took out the three divinely bestowed items the goddess had given him: a nail clipper as exquisite as a work of art, an eyebrow pencil with a subtle sheen, and an antique-style dressing mirror. He neatly arranged these three items in a triangle, silently reciting some tips the goddess had mentioned about using the magic circle. With his movements, the magic circle seemed to flicker slightly, as if responding to his teleportation attempt. He then looked at the offerings. Besides the usual items he had prepared, there were some interesting comic books, such as the popular Sailor Moon, Detective Conan, and the fantastical Cardcaptor Sakura. He wondered if the goddess would like them.
