Alternate world at night.

Wisps of mist danced like enchantresses. In the distant forest, countless tiny lights traversed between the trees like rivers, embellishing the place with a mysterious allure.

The alternate world has no moon, no starlight.

Only these tiny insects emitting a faint glow brought a dim light to the night here.

Chen Shouyi, bare-chested and wearing only shorts, held a war bow, swiftly nocking and drawing arrows.

Bang, bang, bang...

In a mere two seconds, a quiver was emptied.

When the second quiver was emptied, a large tree half a meter in diameter in the distance finally cracked and slowly fell.

"Ten arrows per second," Chen Shouyi thought to himself, his chest heaving like a bellows.

Having drawn the bow forty times consecutively, even he was a little out of breath, his arm muscles trembling uncontrollably.

He exhaled and opened the attribute panel.

Strength: 16.4

Agility: 16.3

Constitution: 16.5

Intelligence: 14.5

Perception: 14.2

Willpower: 15.3

Energy Accumulation: 4.65

Through daily diligent practice during this period, his attributes have had an all-round increase: strength, agility, constitution, and perception all rose by 0.1, while willpower increased by 0.2.

The progress is significant.

He took a glance and immediately closed it.

"Still far from enough, much worse compared to the God of Hunting possessing Xiao Changming!"

If quantified by attribute points,

The God of Hunting possessing Xiao Changming has strength and agility over eighteen.

Chen Shouyi's strength after his Giant Transformation naturally far surpasses Him, now even reaching twenty points, but his agility has not increased—instead decreased by 0.2 points from the original data.

The difference between the two is simply two to three times.

If it wasn't for his thick skin and high resistance, coupled with terrifying attack power making each of the opponent's attack hit-and-run, he would have died countless times.

"The best way to kill Him is with the bow!"

The two-thousand-pound heavy bow is truly a terrifying killing device, with arrow speeds reaching an astonishing five times the speed of sound, much more powerful than machine guns. And with fast successive shots, even with eighteen agility, the opponent would probably have a hard time.

At this moment, Chen Shouyi felt a familiar oddness.

He suddenly raised his head.

He saw that serpent-bodied, winged creature hovering again in mid-air, its silvery body emitting a mystical glow in the night sky, giving a shocking, terrifying feeling.

Since Chen Shouyi became a giant and inexplicably fought with it, it came to patrol here almost every few days.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" His face turned cold.

He suddenly pulled out an arrow and swiftly drew the war bow.

In the next moment, the arrow flashed like a stream of light.

Before it hit, a second and a third arrow had already been shot successively.

The roar in the air merged into a continuous sound.

"Roar!" The snake-like creature let out a shrill howl. Blood bursts continuously erupted on its body, painfully twisting its slender body, blue-white flames spewing chaotically in the air.

It immediately reacted, its wings flapping violently, flying higher and higher, turning into a small dot and disappearing instantly.

"Lucky you," Chen Shouyi retrieved his bow and said.

He watched the creature flee in distress and felt refreshed as he finally let out a breath of anger.

He picked up the briefcase placed beside him, unzipped it, and fished out the dormant Shell Lady.

"Wake up!"

Chen Shouyi shook the Shell Lady.

The Shell Lady struggled to open her eyes, looked around at the darkness, and muttered, "It's still sundown!"

Sundown, my foot.

You've slept for thirty hours already.

Fortunately, she soon gradually woke up, flew off Chen Shouyi's palm to the nearby flower bush. As winter gradually approached, the flowers here had started to wither.

In the flower bush, the Shell Lady flew up and down, working busily for a long time but finding little nectar.

Finally, she flew disappointedly to Chen Shouyi's shoulder and sighed, "Oh, Giant, there are no flowers here."

"Isn't honey enough?" Chen Shouyi said.

"But honey doesn't taste good!" the Shell Lady replied.

"As long as you can get full, it's the same!" Chen Shouyi casually said.

The Shell Lady tilted her head, pondered seriously, and felt the dumb giant made a lot of sense.

"Then I want honey!"

"I'll get it for you right away!"

Chen Shouyi said as he took out honey and a thermos from the briefcase, quickly preparing it for her.

The Shell Lady frowned as she ate, then flew down, squatting on the ground, playing by herself. There were still many fun things here, such as good bugs, with which she could play all day.

The Shell Lady's hibernation instinct is gradually reversing.

Now every time she wakes up, she can stay awake for five hours.

Chen Shouyi estimates it won't take long before she fully returns to her once lively and bouncing self.

...

Evening.

The streets were bustling with traffic.

Earlier this afternoon, a thunderstorm had brought a bit of coolness to the hot summer day.

Chen Shouyi was riding a bicycle, carefully avoiding puddles.

He suddenly saw a familiar figure, pressed the brake, and stopped.

A girl, around fourteen or fifteen, with a backpack, was walking alone in this direction with her head down. Her once rosy complexion now seemed gloomy.

"It's Xiao Changming's daughter!"

He waved to her, and Xiao Feifei seemed to sense it, looked up, and upon seeing Chen Shouyi, timidly greeted, "Chen... Uncle Chen!"

"Don't call me uncle, I'm not much older than you!" Chen Shouyi said, "Where are you going?"

"Going... going home!" Xiao Feifei said, her head lowered.

"Isn't your home..." Chen Shouyi stopped midway, realizing that her home was severely damaged in the previous battle and was obviously uninhabitable now: "Where are you living now?"

"In the Garden District, at my uncle's house," Xiao Feifei said.

"Are you facing any difficulties?" Chen Shouyi asked.

"No, my... my parents left me lots of money!" Xiao Feifei felt a pang in her heart when she mentioned her parents, tears welling up, and she looked up imploringly, "Brother Chen, was my dad really a barbarian spy? Did he really kill a lot of people?"

"Don't think too much, your dad... was a hero!" Chen Shouyi comforted.

Is Xiao Changming a hero? Certainly.

The Xiao Changming possessed by the God of Hunting was no longer truly Xiao Changming, and all sins should be attributed to the Barbarian God, not Xiao Changming.

In Ningzhou, the real Xiao Changming was already deceased while performing his duties.

"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Xiao Feifei quickly wiped her tears and forced a smile, "I should go home now."

"Hmm!"

Chen Shouyi turned his head, watched the girl walk away while wiping her tears, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

After a long while, he finally mounted his bicycle and headed home.
