The Fire-Drilling Method was the crystallization of human wisdom, a symbol of humanity kindling the flames of civilization.

In the dim forest, Su Li used the Fire-Drilling Method to make a fire.

After quite some time, Su Li held a Secret Tail thigh in one hand and dug in with both hands, taking huge bites of the charred meat with great satisfaction.

Because of Talent: Eat, Su Li had been hungry for a long time. It was the same even in the Virtual Universe. Now that he finally had a chance to feast, how could he not be happy?

In truth, Su Li's grilling skills were terrible. The roasted thigh tasted awful, but that was fine. Su Li was now a man who could eat a stainless-steel dinner plate without changing expression. What were two burnt thighs?

If he were not afraid of feeling sick, Su Li thought he could eat them raw without any problem.

Although getting full in the Virtual Universe could not affect his real stomach, it was still nice to satisfy his cravings!

While he ate, Su Li also checked his Resource Points.

Name: Su Li Location: Virtual Universe - Primal Star - Savage Land Rank: F- (1%) Talent: Eat (Everything you can see is your food) Shop: Unlocked (The Shop can be unlocked by spending 1 Resource Point) Resource Points: 1.5 PS: Population, land, wealth—everything you possess can be converted into Resource Points. Missions: "Grolar Chapter"—Become a Superhuman and keep advancing along the Path of Superpowers. You can earn some Resource Points at every stage of the mission. "Primal Chapter"—Kill. The meaning of life lies in killing. Through endless slaughter, you will continuously gain Resource Points.

Perhaps because of its size, Su Li had gained more Resource Points from killing this Secret Tail than from killing the Miasma Beetle. More precisely, he had gained 0.5 more.

"Very good. I'll work hard tonight and pile up my Resource Points!"

After muttering to himself, Su Li immediately sped up his eating. In just a short while, the two plump thighs vanished into his stomach at an outrageous speed.

Eleven o'clock at night, Room 414 of Donghai University.

At that moment, a young man with a bowl cut and a fat man were hunched over a computer playing games. On the other side, a bespectacled young man was frowning at the messages on his phone, seemingly deep in thought.

Though the three were each busy with their own things, none of them spoke. For a time, the dorm room was utterly silent.

"Ahhh?"

Suddenly, an incomparably miserable scream shattered the silence.

Su Li abruptly sat up and stared blankly at the Naruto cartoon portrait stuck to the head of his bed.

Only after a long while did some life return to Su Li's eyes.

As if recalling something, Su Li suddenly turned his head. Sure enough, three pairs of curious eyes were staring straight at him.

Su Li: "..."

"Sorry, I had a nightmare!" Su Li finally came to his senses and explained.

"Great Sleeping God, you're amazing!"

Zheng Hongyu gave him a thumbs-up from below, his eyes full of admiration.

On the other side, Zhang Yu said nothing, but his face was also full of agreement.

"Ahem, it was nothing!"

"Excessive sleepiness is actually an illness. Hypersomnia can cause symptoms such as memory loss and slower thinking, and it has a considerable impact on studying!"

"If you have nightmares while suffering from hypersomnia, that's even worse..."

Su Li: "..."

The last person to speak was Zhao Shengkai, the final roommate in Su Li's dorm. He and Su Li were known as the two top students of Room 414. This guy loved to quote classics and act serious no matter what he did, but in reality, he was outrageously lewd—lewd beyond anyone else!

"Su Li, want to play a round? It's specially made to cure hypersomnia!" Zheng Hongyu pointed at the computer and asked.

Looking at Zheng Hongyu and Zhang Yu, who were having a blast, Su Li silently nodded.

Come to think of it, aside from studying, gaming used to be his only hobby. After what had happened on Primal Star, playing for a while to relax was not a bad idea!

"OK! Bro, sit over here!" Zhang Yu gestured as he spoke.

"Mm!"

Su Li nodded, climbed down from his bed, went to his computer, powered it on, and logged in in one smooth motion.

A moment later—

"Fuck, Su Li, you useless bastard! Don't go in! All five of them are there!"

"..."

"Holy shit, Brother Su, awesome!"

"Hehe, just normal plays!"

A little while later—

"Brother Su, did you take steroids tonight? How are you this awesome?"

"Brother Su, carry me! I want to reach Diamond!"

"Brother Su—"

Because Su Li had gone on a rampage, Zhang Yu and Zheng Hongyu were especially excited that night. They kept playing with Su Li until after two in the morning before finally stopping and hurriedly going to sleep.

As for Su Li... he had no desire to sleep at all!

Lying in bed, Su Li stared at his palm in the darkness, his eyes full of bewilderment.

Of course, Su Li knew that he had not taken steroids tonight, nor had he simply been lucky. The reason he had pulled off those explosive plays was entirely because his reaction speed had undergone a qualitative improvement compared to a few days ago.

With reaction speed far beyond that of ordinary people, it would have been strange if he were not awesome!

"A Superhuman? How incredible!"

He murmured softly, a trace of longing flashing through his eyes. Then he opened the Blue Screen.

Name: Cloud-Devouring Python Level: D+ Traits: Strength, Endurance Evaluation: This is an enemy you currently cannot contend with.

Su Li fell silent as he looked at the information on the Blue Screen.

In fact, on Primal Star earlier, Su Li had been happily grinding monsters, gathering Resource Points, and quietly developing himself. Everything had been going smoothly. His Resource Points had even surpassed ten again, but an accident had made him take a GG!

Su Li only remembered a pitch-black, pipe-like thing that stretched beyond sight. It seemed to appear out of thin air, then mercilessly crushed down from the air. After that, he was dead!

That feeling of being utterly unable to resist was engraved deeply in Su Li's memory.

His instincts told him that it might have been some kind of creature, but subconsciously, Su Li did not dare believe it.

So he had played games for several hours to calm himself down.

Now, after seeing the information on the Blue Screen, Su Li finally confirmed it. That "black pipe" really was a creature—more precisely, a python with a level as high as D+.

"So it was just taking a normal walk, and I was unlucky enough to get stepped on and crushed to death?" Having figured everything out, Su Li was speechless.

"Can something at D+ really be that powerful? That's practically heaven-defying!" Su Li murmured, a light called ambition shining in his eyes.

A moment later, as if he had remembered something, Su Li suddenly opened the Shop and scrolled down.

Very quickly, his gaze landed on the third image in the Shop.

"'Infinite Star Sea, Volume One.' Ten Resource Points. The Path of Superpowers is long, and this can serve as an aid!" After reading the note beneath the third image, Su Li thought for a moment before using his thoughts to tap it.

In an instant, the Resource Points Su Li had painstakingly earned over half the night were nearly depleted again.

However, Su Li had no mind to worry about that now!

At that instant, countless pieces of information seemed to cross time and space, appearing in Su Li's mind without warning.

And because his mind had suddenly been stuffed with countless things, Su Li became dazed as well.
