Chapter 2: Is it People Playing Games or Games Playing People
Hehe!
After eating my fill, a warm flow surged from within, so comfortable that I just wanted to lay down and sleep.
But the rookie coach Big Stick came over carrying a big stick, and everyone immediately picked up stones to start training obediently.
The body hadn't even recovered from fatigue, so this time it was particularly difficult to endure, feeling regretful and on the verge of collapse, and vision even started to blur. But finally, it was over, and upon relaxing, Han Xiaodao immediately lay on the ground, unable to get up.
Very quickly, Han Xiaodao fell asleep.
The rookie coach Big Stick glanced at him with a sinister smile on his lips.
Beep: Rookie Coach Big Stick's favorability +1.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Han Xiaodao jumped straight out of bed.
Ouch.
The helmet was still on his head.
Took it off.
Was it just a dream?
Upon sensing.
Apart from his usual items, several large chunks of rotten beast meat were floating in his personal space.
Immediately, a burst of maniacal laughter echoed from the house.
"Crazy man, can't you let people sleep early in the morning?"
...!
Han Xiaodao took out a bowl, retrieved a piece of meat, still steaming hot.
In his personal space, time might be stopped.
The aroma wafted out, and he couldn't help but take a bite, the taste was really good.
With one bite, a warm stream surged from his stomach, causing his whole body to tremble, feeling extremely comfortable.
It seemed, much more intense than in the game.
Looking at himself again, his thin arms and legs, not even weighing two pounds, couldn't even beat the six-year-old muscle kids in the game.
Too delicious, he blissfully took another two big bites, feeling like a fire was burning inside.
Uh oh, hope I didn't overdo it?
Soon there was a drowsy feeling.
Looking at himself, his skin was slightly red, as if he was in a sauna.
Han Xiaodao bit his tongue, felt the pain, endured it and dashed outside.
The sprinting started with the speed of a hundred meters.
Huff huff!
Huff huff!
Running for his life, exhausted like a dead dog.
Returned covered in sweat, yet despite the fatigue, felt extremely comfortable.
Sweat was a bit stinky, purging impurities, of course.
Took a shower, and felt rejuvenated.
Even the fatigue was completely swept away, this fierce beast meat definitely has the effect of recovering fatigue.
So, Han Xiaodao took out the fierce beast meat again.
Keep pushing forward.
In the evening, set the time and put on the game helmet.
Opened his eyes, already under the totem pole, a strong hunger assaulted him, and seeing others quickly getting up.
Turned his head to see, sure enough, the coach was here.
Han Xiaodao quickly got up too, sniffed around, and dashed without thinking towards the big pot.
I'm starving.
Another round of crazy eating and drinking, most importantly, secretly storing some meat in his personal space.
After eating, he noticed two people still lying there motionless, but the coach ignored them.
Han Xiaodao seemed to realize something.
Started physical training.
After training, everyone lay down in a disorganized manner.
Beep: Congratulations, through hard training, experience +1.
Beep: Congratulations, through intense exercise, digested the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within beast meat, experience +2.
Experience was already nine points.
After training ended, the coach left directly.
Han Xiaodao lay for a while, recovered some strength, and then went to a secluded place to start eating secretly.
Obviously, yesterday with two meals and two training sessions, you could normally gain six points of experience. But since I trained one more time yesterday, I only gained one extra point, because I hadn't eaten well.
Han Xiaodao, who was full and satisfied, began training alone.
Beep: Congratulations, through hard training, experience +1.
Beep: Congratulations, through intense exercise, digested the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within fierce beast meat, experience +2.
Beep: Congratulations, you can level up now.
Lying on the ground, glanced around, the coach was carrying the stick heading this way.
Level up!
Suddenly, a surge of strength poured inside his body, filling every part of him.
Wow, even grew a bit taller, fatigue completely disappeared.
"Huh?" A kid not far away looked over in shock.
The rejuvenated Han Xiaodao was even hungrier, as the coach waved the big stick, he charged towards the pot full of meat, howling.
Eating and taking.
Well, it's all the tribe's, of course, we take it, no need to use the word steal.
After being full, began the primitive physical training, which was carrying stones for exercise.
Ended smoothly, no more life-threatening feeling like last night.
This is the benefit of leveling up.
Han Xiaodao: Black Bone Tribe Strong Child: Level 2. Experience: 16|20. Life: 97%
Skills: Strong: You are far stronger than the average person your age.
Status: Beast Meat, regenerating 1% life per hour.
Not bad, got nine points of experience today. More importantly, if upgrading still needs ten points in the future, as long as this continues, completing the newbie tasks is possible.
But normally, more experience is required for later upgrades.
Leveling up enhances power, getting good things can be brought back to reality.
So Han Xiaodao rested for a while, then bowed his head, a small piece of meat appeared in his mouth, secretly eating it.
After being full, began training again.
From afar, a pair of eyes glanced over.
Beep: Rookie Coach Big Stick's favorability +1.
Suddenly, everything halted, the screen went black.
When it lit up again, he was already lying on his bed, wearing the game helmet.
It was already morning.
Like he was on a stimulant shot, jumped up, washed up, ate meat, and trained.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Han Xiaodao felt much stronger.
Took some time to browse the network, all complaining, all saying the Second World is too insane, strongly demanding changes, saying it's not playing a game, the game is playing them, and refuse to play if there's no change. But also, there's awe at the game's realism, but too much complaint completely overshadowed everything.
Opening his eyes again, he appeared in the Black Bone Tribe.
Already the third day.
Quickly checked.
Beep: Due to terminating training, no experience was gained.
Not even had time to feel disappointed, found another message.
Beep: You took a nap, spirit restored, digested the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within beast meat, experience +2.
Good, it was already equivalent to gaining eleven points of experience yesterday.
This seems to be his limit.
Eating meat, hiding meat, training.
With gaining three points of experience, was able to level up again.
Level up.
Upon reaching Level 3, fatigue was completely swept away, immediately turned head, and in a moment when no one was watching, ate meat.
Yesterday in reality, already divided the meat into small pieces, just needed it to appear in his mouth.
On this third day, smoothly gained experience: 11 points. Level 3.
The fourth day, experience: 11 points, combined with accumulated experience, finally reached Level 5.
Han Xiaodao: Black Bone Tribe Strong Child: Level 5. Experience: 40|40. Life: 98%
Skills: Strong: You are far stronger than the average person your age.
Status: Beast Meat, regenerating 1% life per hour.
Seeing the task completed, Han Xiaodao breathed a sigh of relief, but did not submit it, planning to blend in for two more days, collecting more beast meat first.
In the blink of an eye, the sixth day ended.
Originally thought he could reach Level 7, but it was still Level 5, with an accumulated 19 points of experience.
The early morning of the seventh day.
Upon opening his eyes, saw the coach, who surprisingly was not holding that big stick, nor smelling the meat from the big pot, rather there were various rough stone rods, thick and thin, short and long, while the coach examined everyone closely.
"Little brats, today is the test day, only the strong have the qualification to become hunters, the weak can only become slaves, humble slaves."
The rookie coach Big Stick reached into the animal skin, pulling out some grayish-white powder, sprinkled it on the ground.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the powder transformed into a lot of bones, and these bones seemed to have a life of their own, hopping around to form skeletons.
