After dreaming about his future plans for the castle, Gale came back to his senses.
He suddenly realized that he had received many friend request notifications.
Towards all these requests, however, he rejected them without hesitation.
Gale reopened the [World Chat] interface.
He did not know that by placing his food up for trade, he had caused a commotion, and now the channel was filled with comments about him.
Naturally, they were all chatting to find out more about him.
[I want food, big boss please show up!]
[I want it too. If there's any food on the shelves, I won't hesitate anymore. I'll beg Big Boss Gale to appear!]
[I can't take it anymore. I'm willing to exchange 25 units of wood for Gale's food!]
[If the one above doesn't work, I'll use 30 units of wood!]
[Wow, the price is even inflating?]
However, Gale was not focusing on the conversations.
He could feel that the energy in his body had increased again, and there was a notification of an Origin Edge being dropped as loot.
He knew that Cicely should have gained a lot from this trip.
In the [World Chat], Gale edited his announcement, before sending it out as a message instead.
"The next batch of food will be up for sale in two hours. The rates will remain the same."
He used his quota to post a message on the World Chat channel today to promote himself.
[Gosh! I finally saw Big Boss Gale!]
[Think fast, be the first to capture Gale!]
[Front row, front row!]
[Big Boss Gale, how many will there be this time?]
[What's the use of asking? You might as well prepare the materials needed.]
[I'm very curious, what is Big Boss Gale's initial battle unit that can kill so many wild monsters?]
[I'm very curious too!]
[+1, previously there was a Perfect Form Tier 7 Mountain Rock Bear battle unit. Such a powerful battle unit was attacked by a wild monster and lost a paw, almost being killed…]
[Big Boss Gale's battle unit is definitely very strong. I guess that after reaching the Perfect Form, it might reach Tier 9!]
[It's not impossible!]
These people would never have thought that Gail's initial battle unit would actually be a unique unit — the Elven Empress.
Just reaching maturity alone was enough for her to possess the strength of a God Tier.
It was unknown what her Perfect Form would reach.
[Boss Gale, food is so expensive. I only have three units of stones now, can it be cheaper… I'm just a cute little loli!]
[Yeah, yeah, Big Brother Gale, I'm also a sweet and delicious Lolita. Can you give me a discount?]
[I'm not a Lolita, but a youthful girl. If Gale can give me a discount, perhaps other stories can happen…]
[A teenage girl? I'm afraid you're actually Her Highness Qiao right…]
(Note: Her Highness Qiao is a slang, originating from a China BJ who had a sweet and youthful voice but turned out to be an old woman)
[I've completed my appraisal. Those upstairs have junk bigger than mine.]
[66666, sharp sword, sharp eyes!]
[I'm afraid that if Big Boss Gale goes to meet them, the next day, he will be singing Jay Chou's Chrysanthemum Terrace, hehe…]
(Note: Chrysanthemums are slang for the an*s since the flower looks like it)
[Oh man, oh man…]
"…"
Gale involuntarily shuddered at the comments.
What kind of chatty geniuses were they? Their minds were totally flying off the cliff.
Moreover, the World Chat was fully virtualized, thus he really did not believe the words of those self-proclaimed lolitas.
They should all be ugly catfishers…
"Achoo!"
In a certain underground area, a petite little Lolita was hard at work digging rocks with a shovel. There were a few Dwarf soldiers around her helping out with her work.
Suddenly, she sneezed violently.
The little loli's face was dirty, but one could vaguely see her exquisite and cute appearance.
She was the first person to write the comment saying that she was a little loli.
Clad in a dress that was full of dust and dirt, she stopped working momentarily to rub her nose.
She lightly puffed up her cheeks and glared angrily at the 'imagination geniuses' in [World Chat].
"These baddies actually said such bad things about me. How infuriating!"
The little loli mistakenly believed that the culprits behind her sneezing were these people.
"I wonder if Gale will agree to my request. He did not accept my friend request either…."
What the little loli didn't know was that the person who caused her to sneeze was the 'Gale' she was talking about.
At this moment, the perpetrator was relaxing in the castle.
"Master, these are the spoils of my hunt." After returning to the castle, Cicely handed over the loot to Gale.
"It's been hard on you, Cicely. Rest here for a while," Gale spoke as he put everything into the castle warehouse.
"I'm not tired. It's my honor to serve my master. I never get tired of it." Cicely shook her head.
"Even if your body isn't tired, your mind will also experience fatigue. Rest for a while before you resume." Gale's tone became more forceful.
"All right, then." Cicely finally nodded.
Gale took the chance to observe Cicely more, before he asked, "Cicelyecily, did you encounter any danger during the hunts?"
"No. Currently, I've only encountered Tier 1 and 2 wild monsters.There was in fact only one Tier 2 monster, the rest are all Tier 1. They are of no threat to me at all."
"I see."
"…"
After chatting with Cicely for a while longer, she took the initiative to go hunting again.
Gale did not stop her.
Her loyalty meter was full, and it would not drop, thus he did not need to deliberately make a good impression on Cicely in order to increase her favorability.
He was really just having a normal conversation to let Cicely relax.
Labor and rest often went hand in hand.
While Cicely was hunting wild monsters, she would also increase Gale's strength.
Gail was very pleased with this. Cicely's work attitude was positive, and she was strong. She was simply his perfect support.
Just like that, with Cicely's extremely high hunting efficiency, Gale obtained more and more energy points.
After about an hour and a half, a dazzling golden light shone from Gale's body.
Streams of warmth flowed through his body, enhancing his physique.
This feeling was extremely comfortable.
However, before he could enjoy it, the feeling and the golden light disappeared at the same time.
It came and went quickly.
"I should have leveled up…"
Gale slowly clenched his fists as he came to his senses.
An abundance of energy filled his body, and his constitution felt several times stronger than before.
He opened his personal interface and realized that his level had indeed increased from Lv 0 to Lv 1.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his mood brightened.
"This way, I've finally broken away from the ranks of the Lv 0. I could be considered as having some strength now."
