"I've never met anyone like you before," Harold said, sighing deeply. Wu Qingsong was equally frustrated. He was diligently adhering to the rigorous training plan Harold had set for him. Yet a month had passed, and the results were lagging far behind the effort, time, and energy he had invested. He experienced only a smidgen of gains in strength, endurance, speed, agility, and reflexes. That was it, only a smidgen. If his initial attributes could be quantified as a four on a scale that went up to…-

Wu Qingsong and his companions decided to keep a low profile, fortunate that their lodging was situated above a restaurant. Given that facilities for drawing water and disposing of chamber pots were conveniently close, the likelihood of them being discovered was extremely slim. Wu Qingsong meticulously surveyed the area around the restaurant and found the city planning of Umber to be impressive. Almost every street featured semi-open drainage systems, punctuated at intervals by fountains that supplied…

The slightly curved shortsword pierced the beastman's throat, sending back a sensation that defied description. Blood erupted from the wound, splashing across Wu Qingsong's face, pulling him abruptly out of his killing-induced trance. He staggered backward, tripped, and found himself sprawled on the ground. Around him lay four lifeless bodies, their spilled blood pooling into a macabre puddle. The stench of blood mingled with the acrid scent of burning, leaving him no refuge from the harsh reality of…

With a thunderous roar, the remaining bearman charged at them. Without a second thought, Wu Qingsong thrust the foxman in front of himself as a shield. Although the bearman managed to pull back his swipe at the last moment, his claws still left a long, bloody gash on the foxman's body. "Milo! Are you out of your mind?" the foxman shrieked. "He killed my brother," bellowed the bearman. Wu Qingsong tightened his hold on the shortsword he had behind the foxman, causing him to scream out, "Get out…

"It's just up ahead," the man repeated, yet again. This wasn't the first time he had made this claim, and with each repetition, Wu Qingsong's skepticism continued to grow. "Do you frequently dine at that inn we just left?" Wu Qingsong's hand tightened around the shortsword concealed behind his back as he deliberately slowed his walking pace. "Only once in a while. It's quite a distance from here. How could I visit regularly if I didn't live close by?" the man replied defensively. "If it weren't…

Drawing on his experiences from the modern world, Wu Qingsong led the two beastwomen toward what seemed to be a residential area. His past adventures with family vacations had taught him a valuable lesson, high-traffic areas like tourist spots and train stations rarely offered good services at equivalent prices since they had no lack of customers. A tip from a travel guide once advised, "Never eat near tourist attractions, always go where the locals dine." Soon, they discovered several eateries on a…

The two towns were worlds apart. The differences were glaringly obvious, speaking volumes about the disparity in their power and prosperity. The towering white stone walls immediately inspired a sense of security, standing in stark contrast to the modest wooden fences of Karagados. Beyond the city, fields were intricately partitioned, interlaced with numerous stone waterways and imposing windmills. The crops were clearly superior to what they had seen in the smaller town they had left behind. "These…

The first challenge they faced was figuring out under what pretext they should enter the city. Fortunately, this world didn't require documents like passports, nor did it suppress or prohibit commercial activity. Quite the opposite actually. The elves' avid pursuit of wealth had notably fueled the growth of trade, providing opportunities for merchants of all sizes to operate freely across the empire. Liuli had only a marginally better understanding of this world than Wu Qingsong, offering little…

Liuli quickly retreated to a secluded spot in the temporary camp, overwhelmed by shyness and timidity. Wu Qingsong spent a considerable amount of time calming her down. In the process, he gleaned some new information. Nearly half of Rem City had been destroyed. While this might not entirely be attributed directly to Nina and her group, they had set fires at the army camps and warehouses. The upper echelons of Rem City had been, at the time of the attack, inebriated at the banquet celebrating a…

Intense pain surged through Kleine's face, hands, and body, eliciting a horrific scream from him. Stumbling backward, he frantically tore off his flaming clothes in an attempt to put out the fire. But the flames seemed to adhere to him, only extinguishing when a layer of his skin blistered, burst open, and started to bleed. For the mastiff soldiers covered in thick fur, the situation was even graver. Oil from the shattered jugs splashed onto them and caught fire instantly. Their bodies quickly turned…
