[Skills: Belphegor's Approval (Passive) (Upgradeable): After standing still for three seconds without moving, recover 10% of HP and MP cap per second.]

"Hmm... In the end, all I got was a passive skill like this?"

As the reward for the first stage, and also the first skill for the hidden class, it was the approval from the Demon King of 'Sloth'...

This ability, it had to be said, was terrifying.

The unremarkable description couldn't hide its extraordinary nature... All it took was standing still without moving to gain a terrifying recovery effect.

Moreover, such an ability seemed like it could be further enhanced...

[Belphegor's Approval] can be upgraded to -- [Sloth]: Obtained after assisting Belphegor in breaking the seal.

"Awesome..."

While he really wanted to say that.

But...

Why was there still no damage-dealing ability?

Spreading his hands, the young man slumped on the chair let out a long sigh, his entire demeanor somewhat dejected.

As for defense, he was already sufficient relying on blocks alone.

Combined with such a passive, at most, he could withstand some magical bombardment.

But... he wanted output!

Taking out the blue longsword dropped by the previous elite Demonic Energy Villager, Xuan Sheng sighed mournfully.

When would he be able to slaughter monsters at will like Yi Qing...?

"Mmm... How long did I sleep?"

While Xuan Sheng was lost in thought, Yi Qing, slowly opening her eyes, got up, looked around, and asked in confusion.

"Huh? Not long, only an hour or two. If your body feels tired, it's best to rest for a while longer."

Unlike Xuan Sheng, Yi Qing had already reached level ten and her job change quest was almost at its final step, so there was no need to rush.

"Mmm..."

Nodding blankly, under Xuan Sheng's gaze, the girl shrunk back into the covers and slightly closed her eyes.

Wait, this seems to be my bedroom...

The young man, whose mind had just caught up, reached out his hand, only to reluctantly put it down.

Xuan Sheng, who had intended to ask if she wanted to switch rooms, saw that Yi Qing had fallen asleep almost instantly and helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth.

Forget it. If she doesn't mind, then so be it.

[Beep beep beep~]

A notification sound came from the friend page. Xuan Sheng raised his hand and opened the communication panel.

[Po Jun (Lv.7): Big Brother Li, can we meet? I apologize for the trouble before. If it's convenient, my comrades and I would like to come and thank you.]

[Golden Shovel: Ah, sure. But I don't like crowds, and remember to keep my messages and gamer tag confidential. If you really want to thank me, don't bring your bunch of comrades. Just bring some pretty young ladies.]

On the other end of the communication panel, the man toiling away in the wilderness, painstakingly grinding monsters, almost couldn't hold back his laughter upon seeing this.

No way, are the lives of big shots this leisurely? At a time like this, he's still thinking about young ladies?

Eh, forget it. People are indeed different.

[Po Jun: Alright then, Big Brother Li, please wait a moment. The platoon leader and I will come see you later. Is it still the same tavern as before?]

[Golden Shovel: That's right.]

Closing the communication panel, the young man mumbled, "Tsk, trouble again..."

Sitting in the shop that hadn't been open for years, looking at Mo Rui's smiling face, Xuan Sheng felt a prickle of unease...

"Boss, did I pick up something bad?"

"No~"

Leaning on the table, Mo Rui propped her chin with one hand, tilting her head as she stared intently at the man before her.

"Then why are you looking at me like that."

Whether it was his imagination or not, Xuan Sheng felt that the way this Succubus lady was looking at him was a little off...

Before, she used to look at him like an indifferent companion. Although Xuan Sheng knew she had her own little schemes, outwardly, she had shown no unusual behavior.

But now, it had changed.

Her previously peaceful gaze had suddenly become quite aggressive... forcing him to take it seriously.

That kind of look... was like a ferocious wolf staring at a plump lamb...

Am I being targeted???

"Big shot Li? Long time no see!"

"We meet again, shield guy."

Two familiar figures appeared at the shop entrance, interrupting the young man's thoughts.

"It seems our popular little shop assistant has more friends visiting. I won't disturb you~"

Gracefully standing up, Mo Rui, having thought of something, suddenly bent down and leaned towards the man.

A gust of floral scent wafted over, and her warm, soft hand occasionally brushed against him, startling Xuan Sheng slightly.

Mo Rui very naturally reached out and tidied his collar, even carefully dusting off his shoulders in front of him.

"We'll talk about our business later."

Blinking, Mo Rui smiled meaningfully and turned to walk into her room.

Approaching one's prey... is truly delightful...

"Haha, your relationship with the boss lady is as good as ever, Boss Li~"

Upon entering the shop, Zhao Jun couldn't help but tease them when he saw the affectionate scene between the "couple."

"Tch, you sure know how to pick your timing..."

Muttering casually, Li Xunsheng put on a stern face and looked at the three people before him.

"So, have you run into more trouble and come to me for help? And, is this the platoon leader?"

Zhao Jun and Zhao Min were old acquaintances, but beside them stood a man in a military uniform with a buzz cut and a square face.

"Hello, Big shot Li. My name is Zhang Zhan."

This platoon leader had no airs about him. With a smile all over his face, he approached Xuan Sheng and, in a humble manner, grasped the young man's hand.

"Hello."

The newcomer's face was full of smiles, and even Zhao Min surprisingly didn't say anything sarcastic. Xuan Sheng couldn't refuse their overtures and could only engage in polite pretense and subtle maneuvering.

"Ahem, actually, Big shot Li has probably guessed our intention."

Seeing that Xuan Sheng's expression wasn't very pleasant and his attitude was strictly business, Zhao Jun could only shamelessly take the initiative to speak.

"Ran out of food?"

Xuan Sheng's expression was calm, but his words hit the nail on the head.

"Yes..."

With a crestfallen expression, Zhao Jun hadn't expected that after owing a significant favor to pull his comrades out of the hellish newbie village, they would arrive at Lone Star City only to find that even Lone Star City was experiencing food shortages...

"After all, we have an entire platoon, over forty brothers who need to consume a considerable amount of food. And those who arrived late are not as capable as the first batch of players, making the survival environment even more difficult..."

The areas near Lone Star City that produced a substantial amount of food were already occupied... In this world where strength is everything, they could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything...

Looking at the earnest gazes of the three, Xuan Sheng was momentarily speechless.

In the world where his dependents resided, he was a deity, responsible for the survival of an entire race.

Here, he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Demon Race, tasked with leading the broken Demon Race towards revival single-handedly.

And now, three more people had come, saying they were short on food and needed help.

Alright! Am I a full-time dad now? Is everyone relying on me to live???

Heh, I'm not someone who can be easily persuaded...
