The Legend of Fangren

Fang Shi's mind instantly conjured up numerous scenes from wish-fulfillment novels, like how he could subdue all beasts with a mere wave of his hand, leaving everyone in awe...

Without further ado, let's get to work. We've already hunted three deer, a very good haul. We'll conduct an experiment and then head back.

Descending to the base of the tree, Fang Shi picked up the spiritual fruit from the trap, intending to test the magic himself.

Sure enough, a deer head emerged from the bushes shortly afterward. Upon seeing the spiritual fruit in his hand, it charged forward without hesitation, unleashing a deer-head strike.

"Wow——!!!"

The force was so great that he was knocked back into the tree, and the fruit in his hand fell to the ground, where it was picked up by the deer.

"..."

Fang Shi, who was hanging on the tree, wondered if he had misunderstood something.

Once those functional blocks are placed, they lose their additional powers. Could it be that fruit foods are the same?

But in the game, you have to hold the fruit in your hand.

Oh right... I'm holding it in my hand.

He wondered if the fruit had been separated from him for too long, causing it to lose its corresponding powers and only retain its natural attraction to mystical beasts.

With a rigorous experimental attitude, Fang Shi immediately went to the nearby woods and picked a few fruits, holding them in his hand.

Come out, Azure Branch Deer!

With a whoosh, the same Azure Branch Deer from before appeared, eyeing the spiritual fruit in her hand once again. But this time it was different; the fruit's allure seemed to have increased several levels, causing the Azure Branch Deer to stare intently, not moving its head or bumping into her. Instead, it simply pulled her over and brought her close.

"Hehe~ Just as I thought, my little deer, submit to me..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cangzhi Lu swallowed the spiritual fruit, he turned around and used the same trick on the other party.

"Sizzle—!!!" Fang Shi felt another powerful impact in his abdomen and was thrown back to the tree.

It seems that... some animals cannot be tamed. Just like in the game, the power of food for most animals is only to [attract] and [reproduce]. If no other animal nearby eats the fruit and enters a reproductive state, then the animal will naturally do whatever it wants... like the Creator.

These are the mythical beasts. Just like in the game, they are simply world elements, not intelligent animals like the players.

This repeated emphasis was Fang Shi's way of telling himself that the extraterrestrial beings in the Xuan Realm were different from the wild animals in his previous life. The Xuan beasts and monsters here were a kind of natural disaster, belonging to the world and nature, not to humans.

Domesticated warhorses can be tamed because they are bound by order from the time they are young, making them easy to control. Even so, it takes two or three generations to tame an obedient warhorse into a qualified one. But this still cannot guarantee that the warhorse will completely obey commands, because the imbalance of the mixed spirits is the foundation, and chaotic forces are always difficult to control.

But Fang Shi is a man with dreams. Although he can only be considered a boy at present, which boy can resist the temptation of controlling all beasts?

No!

To be fair, he was indeed a bit injured after being hit twice. He should eat first, as everyone is almost finished with their training and he can't stay behind.

Roasted spirit meat ~ Roasted spirit meat ~

With the thought of meat on his mind, Fang Shi filled in the traps he had dug out but never used, to prevent innocent people from getting hurt, and then returned to the meeting place.

"Fangzi, where did you run off to?"

When Fang Shi returned, the two beautiful elders were already arranging the group. It was past one o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of day. The group of beauties, young and old, had just finished their practice and were covered in sweat. Fang Shi could smell the hot sweat as he approached.

He swore to God that even the most beautiful young girl's sweat smelled the same, completely different from the gentlemanly descriptions he'd heard online in his previous life.

Even so, being surrounded by young women in the prime of his life still made his heart flutter.

In the words of my past life, after exercising, boys and girls always have a strong smell of hormones on their bodies.

Suddenly, Fang Shi felt even hungrier.

He has to admit that although he is a virgin in both his past and present lives, he is absolutely certain that he is a carnivore, not a lamb that only eats grass.

He wants to eat meat; ordinary spiritual fruits are no longer enough for him.

The training team set off again, and Fang Shi quietly lagged behind, thinking about cooking some meat. However, he didn't want to cook meat in front of everyone, since even Luo He and Qu Mei didn't really know his current strength. When he rescued people in Qumu City, the two of them were already unconscious, and he didn't let them see the digging process in the cave outside the city. Not to mention the other elders, teachers, and junior sisters, it was better to keep a low profile and try to maintain his image as a person of good fortune rather than suddenly becoming a big shot.

I've got it! I'll just say it's stock from the Heaven and Earth Pavilion. Anyway, as the master's eldest disciple, he can make excuses and empty the Heaven and Earth Pavilion without any problem.

When you're out in the world, your status and position are determined by yourself.

"Let's think about how to cook the meat. We can't very well eat raw meat; that's too primitive."

The meat of this deer is not tender; if you were to bite it raw, you might break your tongue and still not be able to swallow it.

If the function blocks were placed outside, they would also work.

Why can food exert its power even when held in hand, but function blocks can't?

Does he have to "hold" that entire cubic meter-sized block in his hand?

Bored, he casually changed the objects in his hands, the wooden stick instantly moving from his right hand to his left and back to his right. He was now quite adept at using his hands to quickly move around space.

Especially the nine quick spaces on the right hand, which can be rotated and switched at will, making the fighting style ever-changing. More importantly, the maximum number of items that can be placed in these quick spaces is 64.

In other words, tools that cannot be stacked in the game can be placed in this quick space up to 64 times, even if they have different remaining durability.

This demonstrates the versatility of real-world rules, making it far more compatible than games.

However, compared to the versatility of the right-hand shortcut slots, the single shortcut slot on the left hand is rather monotonous.

Just because it's a switch with the right hand, does that mean the off-hand, which was only added in a later version of the game, is still just an accessory in reality?

He still remembered that day when he had a sudden enlightenment, realizing that the power of dissolution was actually hidden in his hands: dissolution with his right hand and dissolution with his left.

However, after the Spirit Building Platform space, he never managed to study the so-called "transformation" power again. Why was that?

Why is this a mystery?

His only experimental result so far is that carrying the cube in the left hand allows the cube to be prepared in the palm of the hand, and to be placed more quickly during action. He has always felt that this is the so-called "transformation" force, which means that if the right hand can knock the cube faster, the left hand can naturally place the cube faster.

However, just like the right hand, the functional blocks placed on the left hand lose all their associated powers once they are outside.

If only it could be like some Minecraft mods, with portable crafting tables and portable furnaces. Many of the items and blocks already have functions that are in no way inferior to those of mods, so why can't it be a little more unrestrained?

With that thought in mind, Fang Shi casually placed a furnace in his left-hand space, intending to swap it with the raw meat steak in his right-hand space.

Having no hope whatsoever, the reality unfolded in a very bizarre way.

The raw meat steak, which was supposed to have swapped slots with the furnace, was thrown into the furnace in the left-hand space...

Wow, reality is definitely more unrestrained than I imagined.
