Ding! Congratulations, user, your level has increased! Current level: 28! His somewhat exhausted body swayed slightly, and Wu Yan immediately became spirited again. That familiar sensation always left him longing for more—not only because leveling up increased his strength, but also because it brought an exceptionally pleasant rush through his body. Every level-up was a pleasure...
After cutting off a piece of meat from the body of a Third-Order magical beast lying beside him, Wu Yan waved his hand and turned it over to the system, receiving some Item Points and Ability Points. Then he sat down on the spot, skewered the meat in his hand, lit a fire, and began roasting it.
Although he had no seasoning with him, Wu Yan roasted it with great care. With the ability of 'Culinary Arts Proficiency,' even plain roasted meat became exceptionally delicious.

After two months, this was everything Wu Yan had gained!
Over the past two months, Wu Yan had constantly traveled back and forth between the Mercenary Guild and the Giant Beast Forest, endlessly taking quests and killing magical beasts. By all rights, he should have grown sick of it long ago, yet Wu Yan had stubbornly endured.
Though he did not want to admit it, Wu Yan knew that he was still very weak. Ever since coming to this world, he had not met a single person whose level was lower than his. Although others explained that those weaker people did not dare venture into the Giant Beast Forest, Wu Yan did not want to use that as an excuse.
Even a detestable slime—something that could only be used as a beginner monster to grind experience—had been a higher level than he was back then. How could that not have dealt him a blow? Not counting the fact that he had only been in this world for a month at the time, that slime had not even been much older than him...
And then there was Lulu, a seventeen-year-old genius girl. Without the word "genius," she would have been just an ordinary girl, yet she was already level 35—a Fourth-Order Mage!
Then there were those guard uncles. Every one of them was Third-Order, far stronger than he had been at the time...
Even that trash cavalry squad brought by the slime had Second-Order strength across the board. Back then, he had only been level 18. Second-Order...
As the foremost family of the Ai Lu Empire, one of the Three Great Empires, the Luo Li Family could not possibly have only one cavalry squad and one guard unit, could it? That proved there were countless people stronger than him.
And with a first family, there had to be a second family and a third family. Even if they were weaker than the Luo Li Family, they could not be that far behind, right? They were still major families within a great empire...
What was more, this was only one empire. The other two empires also had their own first families and second families.
Most importantly, Fei Fei—the woman whose age Wu Yan had managed to ask about—was only twenty-four!
Only three or four years older than Wu Yan, she was already a Seventh-Order powerhouse. Even in the entire world, she was someone who could stand tall.
All of it cruelly told Wu Yan one thing: he really was weak!
Although he had no grand ambition to conquer the world, before transmigrating, Wu Yan had merely been an ordinary shut-in. What ambitions could he have had? But neither was he someone willing to live beneath others. Wu Yan understood very clearly that in a world like this, strength was everything!
Without strength, in this world filled with superhumans, he could either live as an ordinary person, spend his life in mediocrity, and tremble every day to avoid offending warriors and mages who could crush him with one hand; cautiously guard against those strong people, live "properly," entrust his life and death to others, and then die without anyone caring about an ordinary person...
