Gao Jing rummaged through his backpack.

Then, using the backpack as cover, he took out all the supplies from Copper Anchor's storage space.

A total of seventy-five chocolate energy bars.

He gave them all to Shan Guo'er.

Although all those energy bars combined were nowhere near enough to fill the cracks between this little giant girl's teeth.

They still barely let her taste the real sweetness.

Gao Jing possessed the attribute of "never getting fat no matter how much he ate." Before coming to the Great World this time, his daily physical consumption had been enormous, so he had specifically bought a batch of so-called super energy bars high in sugar and purity.

In this world, Shan Guo'er was undoubtedly the first native to taste such a flavor.

She narrowed her eyes in delight, her round little face blooming like a flower of happiness.

"So sweet!"

If Gao Jing had system support, he would definitely have seen strings of numbers constantly popping up above the little girl's head.

+5, +5, +5!

These were continuously rising favorability points!

Gao Jing had no system, but he could clearly feel that after firing off this chocolate cannonball, Shan Guo'er's friendliness and intimacy toward him had greatly increased.

Her original vigilance and wariness were gone.

No wonder American soldiers patrolling occupied territories always carried candy to coax children.

The power of candy cannonballs really was nothing to scoff at!

Unfortunately, even after Gao Jing took out all his supplies, there was only enough for Shan Guo'er to savor for a short while.

After she finished eating, she rested her chin on the table and gazed at Gao Jing pitifully.

Her large, bright eyes blinked and blinked.

Gao Jing did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Had he known this would happen, he would have stuffed dozens of boxes of sweet chocolate into his storage space before coming.

Now there really was none left.

Gao Jing gestured to Shan Guo'er that he truly had no more.

The little girl understood. Pursing her lips, she said, "Thank you for giving me something so tasty. Um..."

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to see our tribe."

Actually, this was something the old wizard had instructed her to do before going to sleep, but she treated it as her thanks to Gao Jing.

But there was nothing wrong with that.

Gao Jing nodded and smiled. "Thank you. Don't mention it."

He said the first two words in the Great Wilderness Language.

Putting what he had just learned to use.

With the ability to understand their conversation, if he still could not even learn a few everyday words, Gao Jing might as well smash himself to death with a block of tofu.

Of course, he did not know how to say the latter four words.

Still, that surprised Shan Guo'er a little.

The little girl froze for a moment, then said, "Then, see you tomorrow."

"See you."

Gao Jing smiled and waved at her. "Sweet dreams."

Shan Guo'er left with the little yellow dog in her arms.

Before leaving, she even helped Gao Jing close the window and door.

Gao Jing was left alone in the enormous wooden house.

Only the oil lamp beside him kept him company.

Thinking back on everything he had experienced today, Gao Jing still felt as though his heart had been shaken to its core.

Only now had this Great World lifted a corner of its mysterious veil before him.

Letting him see an entirely different new world!

It was not until very late that Gao Jing finally felt sleepy.

He took out his sleeping bag, intending to sleep directly on the tabletop, but after looking at the bird's nest beside him, he still leaped into it.

The bowl-shaped bird's nest unexpectedly did not smell bad at all. Instead, it carried a faint fragrance of grass and wood. The bottom was solid and springy, and lying on it was much like sleeping on a firm spring mattress.

Climbing into his sleeping bag, Gao Jing looked up at the enormous red sandalwood roof and thought, How many little goals would this be worth?

As he thought, sleep quietly stole over him, and before he knew it, he had fallen into a dream.

Gao Jing slept exceptionally soundly that night and was not startled awake even once.

Until the next morning, when the sound of the door opening woke him.

Gao Jing hurriedly crawled out of his sleeping bag, hastily put on his clothes, and jumped out of the bird's nest.

The one who had just entered was Shan Guo'er.

She was not carrying the little yellow dog.

"You're awake."

Seeing Gao Jing standing beside the bird's nest, she asked, "Want some roasted meat?"

"Uh..."

Gao Jing shook his head.

He had not even brushed his teeth after getting up!

Shan Guo'er did not care whether Gao Jing had brushed his teeth. Thinking he had already eaten breakfast, she held out her hand to him.

"Come on, I'll take you to tour our tribe!"

Gao Jing looked at the "little" hand held out before him. After hesitating for a moment, he still sat on it.

Shan Guo'er effortlessly lifted Gao Jing and placed him on her right shoulder.

"Sit tight. Don't fall off."

Gao Jing: "..."

"Let's go."

The little girl turned around and skipped toward the door.

Gao Jing hurriedly gripped her beast-hide skirt tightly, lest he accidentally fall.

Though falling would not kill him, it certainly would not be pleasant!

The moment they left the wooden house, brilliant sunlight shone down upon Gao Jing.

He could not help narrowing his eyes.

After adjusting to the change in light, Gao Jing looked around and, for the first time, saw the sight of the Mountain Tribe!

The Mountain Tribe's settlement had been built within an enormous valley, with sheer cliffs soaring into the clouds on both sides.

Far behind him, beyond a vast stretch of dense forest, stood another gigantic cliff.

A waterfall like a silver dragon hung from the summit of the cliff, plunging thousands of meters. Clouds and mist obscured parts of it, and the sight was so magnificent it hardly seemed of this world.

Even from so far away, Gao Jing could faintly hear the thunderous roar of the waterfall striking the rocks.

A clear stream wound out from the far end of that valley. It passed through the forest and flowed along rugged mountain terrain toward the mouth of the valley.

The mountain stream babbled, barely more than ten meters away from Gao Jing.

The wooden house Gao Jing had stayed in last night was already at the deepest part of the valley, with two more similar houses beside it.

Looking in the direction of the water flow, he saw wooden houses forty or fifty meters tall scattered throughout different parts of the valley, packed densely together in the hundreds!

It was called a settlement, but in Gao Jing's eyes, it was no different from a city.

Only, the architectural style was exceptionally primitive and rugged.

The reason he could see the valley's full panorama was that he was high enough up.

That made Gao Jing think of something.

Was it because Shan Yan, the great wizard, held the highest status in the tribe that his home was located at the highest point?

"Shan Guo'er!"

Just as Gao Jing was admiring the tribal settlement's scenery, more than a dozen "little giants" rushed up along the mountain path.

They looked about the same age as Shan Guo'er, surging over in a dark mass like a group of frolicking brown bears!

"Shan Guo'er..."

One particularly robust brat was the first to run up to the little girl. Unable to wait, he shouted, "I heard Shan Hu found a little person at your house yesterday..."

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes fixed straight on Gao Jing sitting on Shan Guo'er's shoulder.

As though he had spotted some fresh and interesting toy!

The brat's voice was loud, forcing Gao Jing to control his ear canals and weaken the sound waves entering them.

After constant practice, his control over his own body had reached a level ordinary people could scarcely imagine.

But compared to the roaring noise, Gao Jing feared that gaze more.

The brat's burning stare made his hair stand on end.

He could not help recalling the ants he had burned to death with mosquito coils as a child, the scarab beetles he had tied to strings and played with, the stag beetles he had caught and made fight...

Could this be the retribution of legend?

Compared to them, Shan Guo'er really was far too well-behaved and adorable.

"Get lost!"

Bang!

Before Gao Jing's astonished eyes, Shan Guo'er swung her fist and heavily slammed it into the brat's chest.

She actually sent this brat, far taller and stronger than herself, flying fiercely away.

The large brat crashed into the other brats behind him, instantly knocking down a whole field of little calabash brothers!

Th-This...

Gao Jing simply could not believe his eyes.

This was way too violent!

The second update is here. Please support me with your votes.

P.S. Some people really left me speechless. Their ideas are bizarre. Shan Guo'er is indeed the female lead—the female in daughter!!
