Starting with summoning the succubus

"Dengdengdeng."

Qi Lin then climbed the ladder upstairs and came to the small living room, looking at the dining table.

On the table, there was a glass jar containing several praying mantises. The other mantises were green, but one was purple and much larger than the others. Its two arms were like real blades and reflected light.

This was caught by the original owner of this body a few days ago on the roadside.

Those few small, bluish-green mantises were all native to the region.

The large purple mantis, however, was from another world and possessed a faint "magic power."

Today, 30 years into the Extraordinary Era, Earth has many species from other worlds, not just animals, but also plants. Many crops have seen a significant increase in yield after being hybridized with plants from other worlds.

"See if you can offer any experience."

Qi Lin opened the glass jar, used chopsticks to pick out a green native praying mantis, then casually grabbed a book from the side and swatted it to death on the spot.

The system is not responding.

Then, he took out the purple-armored mantis from another world and continued to kill it with the book.

You have killed the Purple-Armored Mantis (Tier 0), experience +1.

Experience points: 1/100

"Um?!"

Qi Lin's eyes lit up immediately.

So killing monsters really does give you experience!

And this "strange" is defined as a creature from another world? Or a special creature with extraordinary energy within its body?

"I knew it, God wouldn't let me travel through time empty-handed."

Qi Lin stood up excitedly and began to plan his monster-slaying spree.

Otherworldly mantises are hard to find. It is precisely because they are rare that the original owner caught one and kept it at home for display. He was lucky to encounter one a few days ago. He can't spend all his time trying his luck.

We need to find a stable monster spawn point.

Qi Lin quickly came up with the best solution.

Help people kill fish!

Two streets away in the vegetable market, there's a fishmonger named Mr. Gao. But he doesn't sell local fish; instead, he sells boneless fish from another world.

Because this alien fish doesn't require removing bones, it has been widely praised by Earthlings and is now being artificially bred on a large scale.

The original owner used to work for Boss Gao, but because the boss was too greedy and paid too little, the original owner ran away after only a few days and went to work as a cashier at a convenience store. Before leaving, the original owner even said a few words to Boss Gao.

"I'll go check it out tomorrow."

After cleaning up the mantis's corpse and washing up, Qi Lin turned off the lights and went to bed to sleep.

Tomorrow is Sunday, no school.

Soon after, the sound of snoring filled the darkness.

Qi Lin had a dream.

He dreamt that he stood atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, roaring to the heavens, "The reason I, Qi Lin, became the strongest in all realms is entirely due to my hard work... System, give me some points!!!"

……

"What are you striving for?"

"Of course, we should grind monsters! Or should we focus on training?"

The next day, early morning.

Qi Lin excitedly left home and headed to the bustling vegetable market to find Boss Gao, who sold fish.

From afar, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a black waterproof apron standing next to the fish stall, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, chopping fish one slice after another with a fish-cleaning knife in his right hand. The fish bones were translucent, like plastic, and were completely connected, with not a single small bone hidden in the fish meat.

Boneless fish from another world.

This fish isn't actually boneless; rather, it has a whole string of bones, like ribs, so you don't have to worry about picking them out when you eat it.

"Boss Gao!"

Qi Lin approached the stall, a fawning smile on his face: "Um, last time I was young and didn't know any better, I..."

"how?"

Before he could finish speaking, Boss Gao interrupted him, saying, "Changed your mind? Too bad, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I offered you 50 yuan a day before, but you refused. Now that you're here, it'll only be 30 yuan a day, no meals included. You'll have half an hour to go out and find something to eat yourself at mealtimes."

"..."

Qi Lin's smile froze.

Damn, this thing is really dark-skinned.

What can you do with 30 yuan?

I don't know about other parts of the Federation, but in Dawn City, which he lives in, one dollar can only buy one steamed bun, and that's the vegetarian kind. Any bun with a little bit of meat in it costs one dollar and fifty cents.

I worked for this guy all day and he only paid me 30 yuan, and he didn't even provide meals. Even the worst electronics factories in my past life weren't this greedy.

Never mind.

His goal wasn't to make money, but to level up by defeating monsters.

In this world where the extraordinary reign supreme, the strong can obtain large sums of money with just a snap of their fingers. Once they level up and become stronger, will they still have to worry about not having money?!

"Boss Gao, how about 35 a day?"

"It's 30, take it or leave it!"

"Alright then, 30 it is..."

"Take it! Let's get started!"

Boss Gao took off his apron and threw it on Qi Lin's head. Then he stuck the fish-killing knife into the chopping board, turned around and walked towards the shop next door, chatting and laughing with Aunt Zhao, who sold meat.

Qi Lin put on his apron, took out his knife, and finished cutting the fish that Boss Gao had already cut in half.

He was an orphan in his previous life and had been independent since childhood. Cooking was a given for him, so he knew how to kill fish and such.

In fact, he and the original owner of this body are quite similar.

They were both orphans, both named Qi Lin, and both were rather introverted, or rather... timid, during their school days.

However, Qi Lin in his previous life gradually changed after entering society. First, he worked out to improve his body, and then he worked hard to face life and change his personality. Finally, at the age of 28, he became the general manager of a large company and lived a relatively wealthy life.

Unfortunately, a dump truck running a red light caused him to say goodbye to his past forever.

Of course, since he's already here, he might as well make the best of it. Besides, he has a cheat code, so Qi Lin has no reason to be a slacker.

"Hey! Kill two more fish!"

At this moment, Boss Gao came over, packed up the fish that Qi Lin had cut, and handed it to the customer across the table while giving instructions to Qi Lin.

"understand!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Lin became excited and quickly scooped a large, plump, lively fish from the bucket next to the fish stall.

"Bah!"

With one slash, he opened her up!

You have killed a boneless grass carp (Tier 0), experience +1.

Experience points: 2/100

I still have a little experience.

The mantis and the fish are very different in size, but they only give 1 point of experience. So, is the experience given based on the life level?

As Qi Lin pondered, he skillfully emptied the fish's internal organs.

Then they continued catching fish and slaughtering them.

You have killed a boneless grass carp (Tier 0), experience +1.

Experience points: 3/100

Time just passed by, little by little.

……

Boss Gao's fish stall can sell more than fifty fish a day. Qi Lin's hands are numb from chopping fish, but seeing his experience points rising rapidly, he feels that it's all worth it.

Of course, this isn't the only way to reliably kill otherworldly creatures.

However, for now, this is indeed the only method Qi Lin can use; he cannot yet meet the conditions required for other methods.

So, let's just stick to killing the fish properly.

At 7:30 p.m., after dark, Boss Gao closed his stall, and Qi Lin also left work shortly afterward.

Experience points: 58/100

At this rate, he can level up after killing fish for another day.

"Hey, you brat."

As Boss Gao packed up his food, he glanced at Qi Lin and asked, "By the way, what did you have for lunch? I don't think I saw you eating."

"I didn't eat."

Qi Lin, who was standing to the side waiting to collect his wages, gently shook his head.

"..."

Boss Gao was taken aback.

Qi Lin didn't have money for lunch.

After leaving the orphanage, the original owner worked odd jobs while studying, and had no savings whatsoever. He basically earned his living expenses by working a day's job. Last night, after being robbed of his daily convenience store wages by those thugs, he was completely penniless.

Because he had no savings, Qi Lin had been hungry since last night, and after a day's work, he was both hungry and thirsty.

However, he was already used to this feeling; he often felt the same way when he first entered university in his previous life.

"Here's your pay for today!"

Boss Gao pulled a folded light purple banknote from his pocket, tossed it to Qi Lin, and added, "Whatever you give me is what I give you, stop chattering."
