Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

After defeating several more waves of respawning monsters, Xu Hao hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and decided to ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Ziyu, I want to ask you something." Xu Hao's tone turned serious. "Do you have a... system? The kind that can help you level up and acquire skills?"

Zi Yu paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly. "Of course you do. Every player has their own system. Don't you have one?"

Xu Hao was taken aback; he hadn't expected the answer to be so direct. "Yes, I have it. I thought I was the only one who possessed it..."

Zi Yu smiled but didn't say anything. Xu Hao secretly rejoiced, realizing he wasn't the only one, which put him at ease. The two continued chatting and playing games, and Xu Hao, drawing on his years of sales experience, skillfully steered the conversation, trying to extract more information from Zi Yu.

He observed that Zi Yu seemed unfamiliar with this world as well, often appearing bewildered when answering questions. Xu Hao guessed that she might have just arrived, or perhaps she had lost her memory after reincarnation. This situation actually made Xu Hao feel lucky, because he could use this opportunity to learn more about the secrets of this world.

As the conversation deepened, Xu Hao gradually noticed some interesting differences. His system had a lottery function and could also return to the real world, features that Zi Yu's system lacked. Xu Hao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

It seems I do possess some unique characteristics. But why is that?

However, Zi Yu's system wasn't without its advantages. Xu Hao was quite envious of the "guidance from the unseen" she mentioned. He recalled his own initial confusion and helplessness upon arriving; how wonderful it would be to have such a beginner's guide.

Xu Hao also learned from Zi Yu that various life skills actually exist in this world. Tailors, chefs, alchemists, blacksmiths, jewelers... these professions that did not exist in the original game have become a reality here.

You need to go to the village chief's house in the center of town to receive life skills after reaching level 7. Xu Hao didn't have a beginner's guide, and if he hadn't learned it from Zi Yu, he wouldn't know this by now.

Xu Hao couldn't help but start to think that empiricism shouldn't be too dogmatic. This world, although based on the game Legend, is different and seems to be much more complex.

Although I'm an expert at playing games, I can't guarantee that I'll be invincible in the game world. I still need to be careful and avoid arrogance and impatience.

Xu Hao made a decision to build a good relationship with the girl in front of him. He didn't have any beginner's guide, but she did. If they got along well, wouldn't it be the same if she got it too?

Besides, when you're new here, having more friends means having more options.

As he was pondering, a rake cat suddenly darted out of the nearby bushes. Xu Hao swiftly struck, killing it with a few sword strikes.

Zi Yu stepped forward and skillfully began harvesting from the rake cat's corpse. "Look, this is an application of life skills," she said, displaying her spoils. "A pelt; players can use it to make clothes."

Xu Hao looked at this scene in surprise, "I see. Then what are these skills for?"

Zi Yu excitedly explained, "For example, the tailoring skill can change the style of clothing based on the materials used in basic cloth clothes, light armor, and magic robes. It is said that advanced tailors can even enhance the attributes of clothing if they have rare materials! Other life professions have similar functions."

For example, the food prepared by chefs: low-level chefs can only make delicious food that can satisfy one's appetite, but high-level chefs can make food that has a certain chance of increasing the diners' physical attributes!

The same principle applies to alchemists, blacksmiths, and jewelers. With high levels and access to rare materials, they can forge top-tier equipment and weapons.

Xu Hao was listening intently when a question suddenly occurred to him, "Wait, you just said 'players'? Is this really just a game?"

Zi Yu's expression suddenly turned confused. "I...I don't know. We've always called ourselves that, but..." Her voice trailed off.

Seeing Zi Yu's confused expression, Xu Hao felt a strong urge to protect her. He gently patted Zi Yu's shoulder, "It's okay, we'll figure it out someday."

As Zi Yu explained, Xu Hao gradually learned more about the secrets of this world. Night fell, and the campfire illuminated their faces. Xu Hao gazed at the starry sky, his heart filled with anticipation and determination for the future.

As night fell, Xu Hao and Zi Yu finished their day of leveling up. Their excellent teamwork resulted in a fruitful day.

"You've really worked hard today, Ziyu," Xu Hao said with a smile. "Your fireball spell combined with my melee attacks is simply invincible."

Zi Yu smiled slightly, "Likewise. Your swordsmanship is also very impressive." She suddenly frowned, "However, I've run out of magic potions, I need to go back to the starting village to replenish them."

Xu Hao nodded, "Then let's go back together. I'll be level 14 soon, so it's a good opportunity to go back and learn some new skills, and maybe even some life skills too."

As the two walked side by side on the road back to the village, Xu Hao couldn't help but ask, "Ziyu, where do you usually live?"

Zi Yu blinked. "Of course, it's the inn. There are inns in the starting village where you can rent rooms to rest."

Xu Hao suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! I thought we could only camp there."

Zi Yu smiled and shook her head. "Camping is a bit dangerous. The safe zone is already full, and there might be robberies in other places. But if you don't have any money, camping is the only option."

Xu Hao's heart skipped a beat. "Is staying at an inn expensive?"

"It's alright, 100 gold coins a night," Ziyu said. "By the way, do you want to stay here too? We can team up and grind monsters together."

Xu Hao felt a surge of excitement upon hearing Zi Yu's invitation. Teaming up with this lovely girl to fight monsters was tempting. However, reason quickly prevailed. He recalled his unique situation—the ability to travel back to the real world. If he lived with Zi Yu, what if he suddenly disappeared before her eyes? How would he explain it? This was a secret he couldn't easily reveal.

After much hesitation, Xu Hao decided to politely decline Zi Yu's offer. He sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of regret for missing this opportunity to get closer to her. However, safety first—that was his principle for surviving in this unfamiliar world.

On second thought, Xu Hao began to consider the inn's prices. 100 gold coins a night was indeed not cheap for an average player. He was glad he had chosen the Taoist class, which saved him a lot of money on medicine. If he were a mage or warrior, he would probably have to carefully budget even for inn expenses.

The economic system of this world seems quite interesting. Xu Hao secretly made a note of it and decided to pay more attention to various prices in the future, hoping to discover some useful information from them.

So, the two added each other as friends and agreed to level up together next time. Xu Hao went to the bookstore again.
