"Yeah, Gu Dage, you're right!"
Lin Youyu slapped her forehead and stuck out her tongue. She had been so focused on crafting the tiger hide armor when she saw the prey that she completely forgot about how she would take the contents of the Bronze Treasure Chest back after dismantling it.
Since she couldn't craft the tiger hide armor for now, Lin Youyu put away the survival handbook in her hand.
Then;
The two of them looked at the other items in the treasure chest together.
10 bottles of mineral water were placed at the very bottom, neatly arranged in two rows.
Above them were 6 beef burgers.
Lin Youyu picked one up and opened it, finding that it was still warm.
Perfect, neither she nor Gu Shao Shang had eaten lunch yet.
Each of these 6 beef burgers was packed with two large beef patties inside. Lin Youyu suspected she wouldn't be able to finish one of them.
"Gu Dage, here!"
Lin Youyu handed a beef burger to Gu Shao Shang, then picked up a bag of lollipops next to her.
There were 5 bags of lollipops, each weighing 150 grams.
Each bag contained 10 lollipops.
So, 5 bags meant 50 lollipops.
Enough to last for quite a while.
"Gu Dage, do you want a candy?"
Lin Youyu opened a bag, took out a lollipop, and held it in her hand, looking up to ask Gu Shao Shang if he wanted one.
"No, you eat it."
Gu Shao Shang shook his head; he wasn't very interested in lollipops.
In contrast;
The hot beef burger in his hand looked quite delicious.
The ingredients for the beef burger weren't complicated: two beef patties, cheese slices, lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles, that was all.
Of course!
The two soft and fluffy buns on the outside were quite large.
With one bite, the juice flowed out, and the rich taste of sour, sweet, salty, and savory greatly increased his appetite.
At this moment, Lin Youyu also picked up a short knife from the treasure chest.
The short knife was about forty centimeters long.
It was a straight knife with a white sheath.
It looked much more advanced than the one Lin Youyu had in her hand.
—
【Quality Short Knife】
【Quality: Green】
【Strength +2】
【Agility +1】
—
As expected of a Green quality weapon.
The attributes were indeed much better than the White quality Inferior Short Knife.
"Gu Dage, is this knife useful to you?"
Lin Youyu held the short knife and handed it to Gu Shao Shang, asking.
Gu Shao Shang felt it, but the Black Sheath Longsword had no reaction.
Clearly, it wasn't interested in this knife.
So he shook his head.
"My sword should only react to similar types of swords. You keep this knife for self-defense."
Gu Shao Shang said.
"Is that so~! It's quite picky."
Lin Youyu chuckled and nodded, then happily took the new short knife and started practicing with it.
Like a child who had just received a new toy.
After playing for a while;
Lin Youyu also put the short knife aside and then picked up the most inconspicuous item in the treasure chest.
A stone;
A blue stone with white patterns.
The stone was about the size of a quail egg.
It was left in the corner of the treasure chest and could easily be overlooked.

【Beginner Skill Upgrade Stone】
【Quality: Green】
【Can upgrade skills below Green quality!】
—
"Huh? A stone that can upgrade skills."
Lin Youyu curiously examined the Skill Upgrade Stone. The small stone didn't look special, a bit like those ubiquitous pebbles.
"Gu Dage, this is for you too."
Lin Youyu handed the Skill Upgrade Stone in her hand to Gu Shao Shang. She hadn't learned any skills, so this stone was useless to her.
Gu Shao Shang didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Youyu either.
Their relationship was one where if one flourished, the other would too, and if one fell, the other would as well. Gu Shao Shang becoming stronger was also a form of strength improvement for Lin Youyu.
He took the Skill Upgrade Stone.
As soon as the stone was in his hand, Gu Shao Shang opened his character panel.
In the skill section of the panel, his only skill, Two-Stage Slash, was currently flashing with bright golden light, and a golden plus sign appeared next to the skill.
He mentally tapped the flashing golden plus sign.
The next second, the Beginner Skill Upgrade Stone in Gu Shao Shang's hand instantly turned into a green light and disappeared.
Ding~!
【Your skill has been upgraded!】
—
【Two-Stage Slash (White) Lv.2: Consumes 10 mana points, attacks the target twice at extremely fast speed, dealing 70% of your attack power as physical damage each time!】
—
After upgrading, the Two-Stage Slash skill's damage increased by 20%, while the mana cost remained the same.
Overall, the change wasn't significant.
After all, it was just a White quality skill.
Couldn't expect too much.
...
In the small forest;
Gu Shao Shang took Lin Youyu and walked around the entire area, and only after confirming that there was nothing else did the two of them leave the small forest.
"Gu Dage, I can't eat any more."
Lin Youyu held the half-eaten beef burger in her hand, looking pitifully at Gu Shao Shang.
"Give it to me."
Gu Shao Shang reached out and took the half-eaten beef burger from her hand.
It was perfect, as he had just eaten one beef burger but was still a little hungry.
After finishing this half, he would probably be full.
As for whether Lin Youyu had eaten the burger?
Gu Shao Shang didn't really mind.
In the afternoon;
The two continued to head east.
Around 12:30 PM, Gu Shao Shang discovered another pack of Prairie Wolves.
A total of 7 gathered together.
He had Lin Youyu stay where she was, and then he charged forward alone.
With the experience of fighting the Forest Tiger before, when facing these Prairie Wolves, Gu Shao Shang suddenly felt like he was bullying the weak.
Although this didn't make him stop and let the pack of Prairie Wolves go.
Killing all 7 Prairie Wolves could bring Gu Shao Shang 21 experience points.
But in fact, Gu Shao Shang only got 19 points.
Because Gu Shao Shang had already leveled up when the seventh Prairie Wolf died.
Then killing these Prairie Wolves again would only give 1 experience point.

After reaching level 6, the experience required to level up again increased by another 100 points.
The good news was that it didn't double.
The bad news was;
Killing Prairie Wolves was already very inefficient.
Each one only gave 1 experience point.
Gu Shao Shang needed to kill another 299 Prairie Wolves to reach level 7.
This was too slow!
Fortunately;
Gu Shao Shang's Blood Drain talent also advanced to A-rank talent with the level increase.
One sword strike drains 10% of health!
And it drained 10% of Gu Shao Shang's *maximum* health!
It was just that his current health bar was low.
If he had tens or hundreds of thousands of health.
Then one sword strike would drain thousands or tens of thousands!
Full of security.
