Whether in his past life or this one, he’d grown up poor—had to grow up fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing fish, slaughtering chickens—those were things he actually enjoyed, because only then could he eat meat in large bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy crap, I totally misjudged this guy.

Holy shit—those splashes mean it’s at least fifty jin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re rich! Rich! The contestant in Live Stream #6 is going to strike it big!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought Wang Tingwei was the chosen one—but now it’s clear Xiao Yi in Live Stream #6 is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined—who knows if this is luck? Look at Xiao Yi’s movements—the line looks like it’s about to snap. If he loses the fish and his only fishing tool, he’ll really be crying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy crap, that’s true—but seriously, how strong is this Xiao Yi? You’d never guess such a thin guy could generate that kind of power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comment section buzzed with debate, and Xiao Yi was anxious too—he could clearly see the line was about to give out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Show my personal panel!” Xiao Yi silently shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System personal panel displayed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name: Xiao Yi\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Age: Twenty-two\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Height: 181cm\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weight: 70kg\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intelligence: 6.9 (IQ test range 110–120, approximately 117)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endurance: 5 (Mild subhealth!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength: 10 (Bull’s Might)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speed: 7 (second-class athlete level)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vision: 6 (average human level)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing: 5 (minimum normal human level)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smell: 6 (normal human level)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skills:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wilderness Knowledge:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic Zoology Lv3 (result of intensive tutoring these past two months)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic Botany Lv4 (better than just knowing staple crops—also from intensive tutoring)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life Skills:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cooking Lv6 (above home-cooking level)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving Lv5 (holds a C1 license, but dares not drive on roads)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swimming Lv3 (three months of doggy-paddle training)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting Lv3 (hit a family chicken with a stone, hit a sparrow with a slingshot)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fishing Lv7 (professional level)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diving Lv1 (can hold breath for one minute only)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat Lv3 (fought three times in life, two ended with black eyes and swollen face)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Available free attributes: 0\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>100,000 fan points can be exchanged for 1 free attribute point!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current available fan points: 423,576.
