He is not a good person.

Although Lu Chuan's words were a reminder, his voice carried the malicious pleasure of scaring a child.

He would have long since made a move to snatch the treasure if it weren't for maintaining the prestige of a great creator.

He didn't expect this child to dare to walk straight into danger.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yimo nodded repeatedly, "I know, but I'm different."

"I can eat a lot!"

Lu Chuan felt that the child might not realize the consequences of a rash attempt, so he casually threw over two bottles of nutrient solution.

"Drink this."

He had just plundered three advanced spatial devices and many valuable items from those three people.

He was quite wealthy now.

One bottle of nutrient solution was enough to keep a Transcendent below the third rank from feeling hungry for a day.

But seeing the child still looking at him expectantly after downing two bottles of nutrient solution,

Lu Chuan's mouth twitched imperceptibly, "Forget it, eat barbecue with me."

"But this demonic wolf doesn't taste good. I'll hunt a few Qingyuan Deer first."

The demonic wolf's meat had a putrid smell.

Unless food was extremely scarce, no creature other than the Corrosive Fluid Vulture would willingly eat a demonic wolf.

"Is that so..."

Bai Yimo looked at the demonic wolf's corpse with reluctance.

Except for the most valuable crystal core, fur, teeth, and leg bones, the remaining parts were ruthlessly discarded on the spot.

Lu Chuan wasn't worried about attracting other Transcendent Creatures.

He had the strength and the confidence.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, these things were just a pile of useless waste.

But in Bai Yimo's eyes, these were rare foods.

"If you eat my food, you have to work for me," Lu Chuan threw a few blood collection devices over, "Help me collect blood later."

Bai Yimo's eyes brightened a bit, "Okay!"

...With a "whoosh," flames ignited at the moment of day and night's alternation.

A whole, cleaned Qingyuan Deer was roasted, sizzling with oil.

"So fragrant!"

To Lu Chuan's shocked gaze, Bai Yimo almost ate more than twice his own body weight in food!

Is... is this child really human?

Even if Lu Chuan was slow, he realized the child's uniqueness.

"What's your name?"

"Bai Yimo."

Full and satisfied, Bai Yimo was completely revitalized.

His small face was flushed red from the firelight.

"You're not a Transcendent, how did you get here?"

Bai Yimo fell silent for a moment, ultimately choosing not to conceal it, "I snuck in."

"Snuck in?" Of course, Lu Chuan wouldn't believe it.

The guards outside the Rift weren't fools; how could they let a child slip in right under their noses?

Meeting Lu Chuan's gaze, Bai Yimo's already weak demeanor grew even weaker, and he finally decided to reveal everything:

"It... it was those three people just now..."

"They wanted to kill me to get the treasure map my father left behind, but killing outside the Rift is illegal."

Lu Chuan understood.

The Alliance's laws were no joke.

Theoretically, killing was not allowed inside the Rift either, but this was a place where Transcendent Creatures ran rampant.

Once inside, who could say if it was murder, suicide, or an accident?

And this was why Lu Chuan dared to directly kill those three guys.

In a place like this, only the survivors had a say.

"But for my father's last wish, I must come in,"

Lu Chuan looked at the overly thin boy in front of him with some surprise:

He certainly had some courage.

"So the so-called treasure is in the Endless Forest?"

"I'm not sure..." Bai Yimo lowered his head, "I can't read."

"Ah?"

Illiterate?

It was hard to imagine that in the Alliance, which highly valued basic education, there would still be such an uneducated person?

"Since I can remember, I've grown up under the surveillance of those people. They wouldn't let me learn anything, nor would they let me practice cultivation."

"I could meet my father once a month."

That bloodied man imprisoned in the dungeon... "Only before my father died did he secretly give me the thing those people wanted most."

"But I can't read, and I have no access to any books or electronic devices."

"I could only copy a small part of the text, scramble the order, and ask my captors to identify it. From them, I learned that the map's location is most likely here."

Lu Chuan was silent for a moment, "In that case, wouldn't it be easy for people to guess the real content?"

Bai Yimo's voice was muffled, "Yes, but if they hadn't guessed useful information, I wouldn't have had the chance to come in."

"Although I can't read, my memory is very good. The entire treasure map is in my head!"

"Benefactor, can you help me? Help me fulfill my father's last wish!" Bai Yimo's eyes shone with hope.

"Oh?" Lu Chuan looked at the young boy in front of him with interest, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Bai Yimo's voice was firm, "You are the strongest person I've ever met, and the only one willing to help me. Benefactor, you must be a good person."

Anyway, he wouldn't survive long in the Rift by himself, and as for leaving the Rift... there were wolves ahead and tigers behind.

Even if he made the wrong gamble, he would consider it repayment to his Benefactor for avenging his father.

Hmm, just like Dad said, when dealing with people, judge by actions, not intentions.

The amusement in Lu Chuan's eyes grew deeper.

He wanted to say, 'Child, you've seen too little of the world.'

Many bad people are born from a single misguided thought.

"You're putting a lot of pressure on me."

What to do?

He, Lu Chuan, was not a benevolent do-gooder... "Shocking! '"miracle of creation"' players encounter a rat tide invasion, two major guilds cooperate for the first time to overcome the crisis!"

"Excited heart, trembling hands! Your favorite 'Divine Miracle' intelligence officer, Wooden Head, is back!"

"Latest battle report! Player spawn point attacked by two Transcendent Creatures, Giant Gnawing Rat and Steel-Toothed Rock-Crushing Rat."

"Yes, you heard right, these two creatures are original creations of '"miracle of creation"'. Head here gives a thumbs up to the game studio's dedication."

"Getting back to the topic, in this crisis, the two major guilds, originally at odds, cooperated for the first time. Father Can Rival a Nation of the Dragon Flame Guild even sacrificed himself to buy time for Sorrowful Sword Elegy to absorb crystal cores (it's said that even the yuan energy for Sorrowful Sword Elegy's crystal core purchase came from our Brother Fu). Who wouldn't say Brother Fu is righteous!?"

"Although this crisis caused nearly seventy percent of players to die on the spot, it also brought opportunities for many big shots to break through to Transcendent (Level 10)."

"Among them, the first Transcendent player is naturally our universally recognized server's number one, Sorrowful Sword Elegy!"

"In addition, there are My Cat Can Do Backflips of Sword Intent Riding the Wind, Rose with Leg Hair, Pancake Doggy, and My Deepest Affection, four players, as well as Golden Lion, Silver Lion, Mad Lion, and Wind Lion, four warrior big shots of the Dragon Flame Guild."

"In terms of the number of players above level 10, the Dragon Flame Guild is still temporarily at a disadvantage~ (To be honest, the Dragon Flame Guild, with thirteen warriors, having fewer Transcendent than Sword Intent Riding the Wind was unexpected by Head.)"

"Although our Brother Fu unfortunately died and couldn't break through to Transcendent, Head believes that with Brother Fu's money-power, he will soon catch up!"

"As for the cause of this rat tide outbreak, according to My Cat Can Do Backflips's analysis, it's very likely that the Steel-Toothed Rock-Crushing Rat swarm invaded by controlling the Giant Gnawing Rats to obtain the dark energy crystal ore vein near the player spawn point."

"And Cat Master's guess is Head's view!"

"Looking at the current sequence ability chart for Transcendent Creatures like Steel-Toothed Rock-Crushing Rats, their First Sequence ability is an elemental skill that can control earth elements to generate earth spikes and allow themselves to move freely underground. Their Second Sequence ability, however, is a light-based skill with penetrating and corrosive power..."

"From this, it's not surprising that third or fourth-rank Steel-Toothed Rock-Crushing Rats would master abilities similar to control or deterrence."

"Although the true 'mastermind' has not yet surfaced, we believe that with the strength of all the big shots, eliminating the Steel-Toothed Rock-Crushing Rats is only a matter of time!"

"Finally, Head has something extremely serious to say!"

"The poster's name is Wooden Head, not Wooden Head or Wooden Block! (Slams table)"

"That's all, meeting adjourned!"

...In an extremely luxurious room.

A non-mainstream youth with yellow highlights opened Wooden Head's post, his face instantly turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Sorry, Brother Long, we've disgraced you!"

"Brother Long, rest assured, we will redouble our efforts in the future and definitely help you get your reputation back!"

...Group chat messages kept popping up on the phone, and veins pulsed on the youth's forehead:

"Enough! A group of warriors' combat performance can't even compare to a bunch of commoners, aren't you ashamed?"

"From now on, you are only responsible for leveling up yourselves. I'll grind my own level!"

...
