Chapter 39: The Temptation of Food
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiao Leng carried the white rabbit with both hands and looked at Lin Yun expectantly.
“Brother, I don’t know how to cook.”
Lin Yun felt helpless. As her Master, he even had to be a nanny. He skillfully skinned and bled the rabbit, took out the relevant cooking utensils and spices from the spatial wristwatch, and began to cook.
Lin Yun’s cooking skills could only be described as average. After all, he and his father didn’t have much money, and the food they had eaten was relatively simple, so he didn’t have the opportunity to practice with advanced ingredients. He simply cooked a pot of rabbit soup.
Xiao Leng gathered around the pot with sparkling eyes and a watering mouth. The rabbit soup was finally ready. She hurriedly scooped out a piece of rabbit meat with a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Ah! It’s so hot!” Xiao Leng covered her mouth and hissed. Then, she shouted happily, “Master, the rabbit you’ve cooked is so delicious! I’ve never eaten anything this delicious before.”
Lin Yun was surprised. Based on his cooking skills, it could still be considered delicious? However, he thought about the environment that Xiao Leng lived in and came to a realization. Given the identity of the Holy Maiden, it was impossible for her to cook. It was really hard to tell the taste of the food cooked by that scar-faced old man.
At the thought of that, Lin Yun couldn’t help but feel sympathetic towards Xiao Leng and slowly said, “Don’t worry, eat it slowly. All this rabbit meat is yours.”
During the mission, Lin Yun belonged to a digitized state, where there was no such thing as hunger and satiety. He was not affected even if he did not eat.
After a short while, Xiao Leng ate the entire pot of rabbit meat and even drank the broth. She touched her small, round belly and burped contentedly.
“Brother, can we always eat rabbit from now on?”
Lin Yun looked at the expectant gaze in Xiao Leng’s eyes and replied with a nod, “No problem. Let’s go kill rabbits!”
“Xiao Leng’s Affection +10.”
The raising of affection was simply too easy. Lin Yun was overjoyed. Together with Xiao Leng, they started wiping out the rabbits in the forest.
As a result, the nearby rabbits suffered a misfortune.
“Killed the Curly Rabbit. Gained 1 EXP. You’ve gained 0 EXP, and Xiao Leng gained 1 EXP.”
“Killed the Curly Rabbit. Gained 1 EXP. You’ve gained 0 EXP, and Xiao Leng gained 1 EXP.”
…
Not long after, they were done killing ten rabbits.
“Xiao Leng’s level up requirements have been met. The character will automatically level up.
Xiao Leng
Level 2
EXP: 0/20
HP: 60/60
Spirit Points: 60/60
Physical Attack: 6
Spiritual Attack: 6
Physical Defense: 6
Spiritual Defense: 6
Speed: 6
Sensory: 6
Luck: 10
Affection: 70″
“It was so easy to level up? This mission is too simple.” Lin Yun discovered that when Xiao Leng had leveled up, each of her stats was added by 1 and her HP and Spirit Points by 10. In other words, if she leveled up another 4 levels, her Physical Strength and Spiritual Strength would be able to reach Level 3. Lin Yun calculated that a total of 300 EXP was needed, which also meant that they still had to kill another 300 rabbits.
“I’m about to become a rabbit terminator.” Lin Yun mocked himself as he watched Xiao Leng kill another rabbit.
“Killed the rabbit. Gained 0 EXP. The creature’s level is below the lowest level of the character in the group. Unable to gain EXP.”
Upon hearing this prompt, Lin Yun sighed.
“Indeed. It really isn’t that simple. It would be too outrageous becoming an expert just by killing rabbits.”
Seeing Xiao Leng looking excited and chasing after a rabbit, Lin Yun said in a loud voice, “Xiao Leng, come back. We’re not killing rabbits anymore.”
Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Xiao Leng stopped and asked curiously, “Then what are we doing?”
Lin Yun chuckled and enticed her. “Come with me to the depths of the forest. There’s something better than rabbits there.”
“Really?”Xiao Leng’s eyes glowed, and Lin Yun’s heart developed a guilty feeling of enticing the little loli.
As a result, Xiao Leng jumped up and down and followed Lin Yun to the depths of the forest. She had no idea that this “Planet Raider” brother was trying to gain EXP to level up by farming monsters.
As they went deeper into the forest, all kinds of fierce beasts appeared one after another. Killing these fierce beasts would yield a small amount of EXP. Of course, as Xiao Leng’s master, how could he do it himself?
“Xiao Leng, kill this snake. Its flesh is very nourishing and especially delicious when grilled!”
“Really?” Xiao Leng was delighted and wrestled with a bowl-thick python with the longsword in her hand, struggling to kill the python with the sword.
“Killed the snake. Gained 1 EXP. You’ve gained 0 EXP, and Xiao Leng gained 1 EXP.”
“Xiao Leng, kill this cow. Dragon meat above is akin to beef here. Have you heard of it?”
“Great!” Xiao Leng jumped onto the bull’s sturdy back and kept stabbing the bull’s neck with her dagger. Soon, the bull bled to death, while she became badly battered.
“Killed the cow. Gained 2 EXP. You’ve gained 1 EXP, and Xiao Leng gained 1 EXP.”
“Xiao Leng, kill this big spider. Burning fire with this spider can make you a particularly delicious meal!”
“Alright!” Xiao Leng rushed towards the basin-sized spotted spider and pinned it to the tree with her sword. Her body was suddenly tangled with white spider webs.
“Killed the spider. Gained 2 EXP. You’ve gained 1 EXP, and Xiao Leng gained 1 EXP.”
“Level up requirement has been met. Character will automatically level up.
Lin Yun

He had leveled up! Xiao Leng had killed a few small animals, while he hadn’t done anything and he had actually leveled up. Lin Yun’s heart was filled with joy as if he had drunk honey. He couldn’t wait to kill all the animals in the entire forest.
Thus, Lin Yun’s excited cries became even louder.
“Xiao Leng, kill this wolf. Wolf meat is much tastier than dog meat!”
“No problem!” Xiao Leng raised her longsword and bravely charged towards the huge bull-sized, green-eyed wolf. She raised her longsword high before she swung and slashed the huge wolf’s head.
“Clatter!”
Xiao Leng’s longsword instantly broke into two, and the huge wolf was enraged by her. It leaped and pounced towards Xiao Leng. Before she could react, the huge wolf pushed her to the ground and opened its mouth, revealing its sharp white teeth, with stinky saliva dripping down its teeth. The next moment, it was about to bite off Xiao Leng’s fair neck.
“Whoa! Save me, Brother!” Xiao Leng had never experienced such a frightening scene before and cried out in fear.
At this moment, Lin Yun had quickly rushed to the side of the huge wolf. He ran at full speed and slammed its side with his shoulder.
“Boom!”
Lin Yun collided with the huge wolf at full speed just like two cars that were running at high speed colliding with each other, creating a loud sound. The huge wolf tumbled a few times by Lin Yun’s collision and quickly climbed up, staring at Lin Yun cautiously.
“Xiao Leng, stand up. There’s no point in crying except to make you even weaker!”
Under Lin Yun’s guidance, Xiao Leng quickly wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand, dirtying her milky white face. With the dagger in hand, she stared nervously at the huge wolf.
Suddenly, the red light in Xiao Leng’s eyes flashed brightly and the huge wolf’s message appeared in Lin Yun’s visual interface.
“Xiao Leng has used Level 1 Probe on the huge wolf. Obtained the following information:
Huge Mutant Wolf, Level 4
HP: 100/100
Spirit: 10/10
EXP: 10
Skill: Flamethrower”
Lin Yun was delighted that Xiao Leng actually had such an ability. Digitizing the stats of the huge wolf would make it even easier to kill. He took out a longsword from his spatial wristwatch and charged at it.
This huge wolf did the same old moves and jumped up high, trying to pummel Lin Yun to the ground.
However, how could Lin Yun fall for that? He took advantage of its exposed abdomen when it leaped up and plunged his sword into its white belly.
“Vital Attack, Huge Wolf’s HP -60.”
With one strike, it had inflicted damage to more than half of its HP. The huge wolf would die under another strike from the sword.
The huge wolf was hit by Lin Yun’s sword and let out a scream. A lot of blood flowed onto the ground from the wound on its abdomen. The wolf’s face had a vicious expression. Suddenly, the huge wolf opened its mouth and a ball of flame flew out from its mouth, which actually flew towards Xiao Leng!
Without hesitation, Lin Yun threw himself to block Xiao Leng’s body. The ball of flame quickly struck his back and burned his skin pitch-black. However, the flame seemed to have an astonishing power, but it was not very powerful.
“You have been attacked. HP -10, Current HP: 242.”
The huge wolf spewed out flames and turned around to escape. It turned out that it wanted to flee as it saw that it was not a match. Its ball of flames spewed at the weakest Xiao Leng, which was to trick Lin Yun into turning his back to defend her. When Lin Yun reacted, the huge wolf was already more than 100 meters away from him.
How could Lin Yun let the wolf with 10 EXP escape? He carried Xiao Leng and chased after it, and he wouldn’t stop until he killed the huge wolf!
Therefore, such a scene emerged in the forest. A huge wolf with a longsword in its belly fled in disarray. A man wearing a silver mask, carrying a little girl in his arms, kept chasing after it.
Finally, the huge wolf was exhausted from its severe injuries and was caught up by Lin Yun. Lin Yun bravely jumped onto its back and punched it in the head.
Stacked Punch, Double Attack!
“The Stacking Skill’s Double Effect has been activated. The huge wolf’s HP -60.”
“Killed the Huge Mutant Wolf. Gained 10 EXP. You’ve gained 5 EXP, and Xiao Leng gained 5 EXP.”
Hearing this voice, Lin Yun felt delighted. Only then did he notice that Xiao Leng was pulling his sleeve constantly.
“Xiao Leng, what’s wrong?’ Lin Yun asked in confusion.
Xiao Leng’s face was tense, and she pointed with her little finger at the surrounding dense forest. Based on the direction of her finger, Lin Yun saw many green lights appear in the dense forest. Those green lights were getting closer and closer, finally showing themselves before Lin Yun.
It was actually a pack of huge green-eyed wolves!
