Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

To ease the awkwardness, Bell picked up the two bone spikes again and wrestled with the swollen poisonous toad in front of him.

As expected, the poisonous toad, lacking other means of attack and excellent defense, quickly fell to Bell's bone spikes.

Bell, who attacked with bone spikes, did not get venom secreted from the toad's skin.

Although Bale's fall during his first attack was a bit embarrassing, let's just say he killed the enemy or not.

[Experience +4]

With his experience now in hand, Bear Grylls said he was having an amazing time.

But after killing the poisonous toad, Bell didn't rest. There were still many poisonous toads living in the bamboo streams and mudflats. With tools like bone spurs, the poisonous toads were Bell's best experience points.

When threatened, poisonous toads that are not in water will either inflate their bodies or play dead.

After all, their movement speed on land is quite slow; even a short-legged bamboo rat like Bell can easily outrun them.

Although the struggle had caused all the toads within a meter radius to jump into the water, after swimming a few meters further upstream, Bell blocked the poisonous toads that hadn't entered the water in a grass cage.

With a flick of his two bone spurs, Bell felt as if he were a martial arts master locked in a duel at the Forbidden City. He narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but hum a line from a movie he remembered.

"Bell, when are you going to become the number one in the bamboo forest? Today, today!"

Chapter 5: How can you survive without an inventory?

"Though the enemy is numerous, they will all be slain in a single strike."

Reciting his cool lines, Bear Grylls walked briskly, completely ignoring the poisonous toad behind him that he had stabbed dozens of times before finally hitting its vital spot.

Four more points of experience were injected into Bell's body, making him feel unbearably hot.

Bell knew this was a sign of his impending transformation, and he needed to return to his cave to quietly complete his metamorphosis.

"puff!"

With a soft sound, Belle's body slid into the hole as if she had eaten two pounds of Dove chocolate.

Night had fallen, and Bell didn't waste any more effort looking for a new place to stay. His own cave, with its dangerous neighbor living above him, was actually the safest place.

"The mimic snake is still full, so it doesn't have time to pay attention to me. It can even keep watch for me. However, its digestion speed is a bit too fast..."

Peeking out, it took one last look at the outside world. The mimic snake clinging to the bamboo was just as camouflaged as it had been during the day, except that its belly was now smaller than it had been during the day.

This guy digests very quickly, and should eat every two to five days.

Bell calculated in his mind that he could outsmart this guy by observing the feeding frequency of the mimic snake.

After all, his neighbor was far too dangerous; nobody likes having a ticking time bomb living on their roof that could kill them at any moment.

"But now I need to rest. My experience accumulation has reached its limit, and the upgrade is about to begin."

After quickly recalling what had happened that day, Bell, deep inside the cave, tightened his body and turned into a white fur ball.

The experience gained from hunting came alive at this moment, coursing through Bell's limbs and bones.

Bones, muscles, digestive ability, sensory abilities...

As his experience points rapidly decreased to zero, Bell's physical body underwent a comprehensive enhancement.

At the same time, an unseen force seeped into Bell's soul, plunging him into a state of lucid slumber.

Bell's consciousness appeared in an extremely dreamlike space, with cotton candy-like clouds slowly drifting out around him, and a soft bridge made of rainbows extending from an unknown distance to Bell's feet.

The moment the thought of moving forward crossed his mind, Bell's body transformed into a streak of light, instantly appearing at the other end of the Rainbow Bridge.

After all, this is a dream world, and Bell can escape the frail body of the real world. Flight and teleportation are just a thought away for him.

At the other end of the rainbow bridge, there is a hastily constructed thatched hut that looks like it would fall apart with a gust of wind.

A wooden sign with a cartoon version of Bear Grylls' face stands at the entrance of the thatched hut, signifying that this is Bear Grylls' spiritual territory.

"This house and the sign look like something a child just built on the spot. It looks like a chicken coop or duck cage."

The thatched hut looked extremely shabby, and its condition was directly linked to Bell's mental state. The dilapidated thatched hut in front of him represented Bell's dwindling human rationality.

Bell knew that this was due to the bamboo rat's extremely low level of intelligence, making it unable to support its own human wisdom.

When he returned to his lair and fell asleep, he noticed that his thinking speed was not as fast as during the day. He felt as if he had stayed up for a long time, and his mind was filled with thoughts of...

Dizzy.

"I hope that before I completely turn into a mindless beast, I can acquire enough mental strength to support human reason."

It shook its body, and two bundles of straw flew out of Bell's fur, representing the increased mental power it gained after its upgrade.

Bell picked up the two bundles of thatch and slowly flew to the top of the drafty thatched hut that represented his spiritual power. He spread some straw here and some there, barely managing to repair the roof of the haphazard thatched hut.

Although the thatched hut still looks dilapidated, at least it doesn't seem to leak anymore.

Between a dilapidated house and a leaky dilapidated house, Nabel still thinks the dilapidated house is better.

After the thatch was laid down, the rickety thatched hut became much more stable. A bubble emitting a faint glow floated out of the thatched hut and entered Bell's body.

A warm feeling filled Bell's body, and the five squares gradually became clear in his eyes. They were four small squares stacked together to form a '田' shape, and there was another small square behind the large '田' shape.

Below the five boxes, there is a line of small text.

'Gather resources? Or craft items? No, you should chop down trees first.' — Cube Man Steve

After reading this sentence, the five squares were fully formed, and the dream world in Bell's eyes slowly dissipated.

To get back in here, you'll have to wait until Bell's next upgrade.

Inside the cave, Bell opened his tightly closed eyes. The exhilarating feeling he had experienced during the upgrade had subsided, and it was already bright daylight outside the cave.

At this moment, Bell felt his whole body was full of power. The twenty-centimeter distance that he couldn't jump when hunting poisonous toads before, he could now easily cross.

Lucky:

Skill: [Information Insight]

Inventory: [Empty]

Additional characteristic: [Vibrant body color]

After the upgrade, Bell's physical and mental strength both improved slightly. Although the improvement was not much, it was still a good thing to become stronger.

Moreover, improving individual attributes is not the main purpose of this upgrade.

The real treasures were the items that had suddenly appeared in Bell's inventory.

"The inventory is an essential design element in survival games. Resources collected during the survival process are stored in the inventory, which brings great convenience to the survivors."

As a die-hard fan of survival games, Bear shrugged and confidently declared that no one knows more about the inventory than him.

Storage is the most basic function of the inventory. Bell placed his short paws on the sand in the cave and, with a thought, stored a large clump of sand, almost as heavy as himself, into his inventory, expelling all the small insects hidden in the sand.

To store items, as long as physical contact is allowed, inanimate objects can be stored in the inventory.

The storage capacity of one item compartment is the same as Bell's weight. Perhaps after he eats himself into a true giant Fibonacci, the storage capacity of the item compartment will increase.

"Yes, this is a question worth studying."

Scratching his butt, Bell turned his attention to the second function of the inventory. After all, the inventory had the rating of 'Block Man Steve', so how could the most basic crafting function be missing?

Four clods of earth were collected and placed in four squares shaped like the Chinese character "田" (field).

As Bell had this thought, the four dirt blocks disappeared from the inventory, and a new block appeared in the separate inventory slot behind them.

Chapter 6 Go Eat Dirt

The four dirt blocks in the inventory combined into a mud-colored cube, and with a thought, Bell dragged it from the inventory into the real world.

[Compressed soil blocks]

Item description: Ah, this isn't a cookie, it's our compressed clay block! It gets bigger and taller when it gets wet.

The cube-shaped block of earth, slightly larger than Bell, occupied most of Bell's cave the moment it was released, squeezing him against the wall.

"This is the most realistic physical collision effect, much better than those trash games where you get knocked dozens of meters away after a single collision."

To prevent himself from being crushed to death in the cave by the compressed dirt, Bell put the compressed dirt back into his inventory.

This inventory, which includes both storage and crafting functions, fueled Bell's survivalist instincts, and countless ways to use the inventory came to mind.

Ultimately, the most important thing is Steve's message at the bottom of the inventory.

As the saying goes, "To get rich, start by chopping down trees." After learning that the four-slot inventory could be broken down into materials to craft items, how could Bell not think of the most important block in the entire Minecraft world?

The workbench is a super block that can be created with just four wooden blocks. It is essential for block creation in the game.

"I only need to collect a log to make a workbench. Then I will be free to fly in the sky and fish in the sea, no longer bound by any constraints."
