I'm not just human!

But Xia Fa never expected that on the planet Dark, where the giants lived, the giant grouper that should have been much larger was instead... only the size of a thumb.

Although his figure seemed to be enveloped in an extremely blurry mosaic, Chief Giant still noticed the movement of his head.

The elder patriarch, who was both the most powerful and the wisest among the giants, immediately understood something and quickly gave a look to his companion.

Chief Giant's wife immediately understood, and with a single grab, the dozen or so dried, spicy grouper hanging under the eaves flew into his palm.

He held it respectfully, raising both hands above his head, walked over, squatted down, and placed it into the Slyre crystal plate.

Xia Fa was somewhat taken aback. He had only made one move, yet these giants in suits and ties understood it so well.

Now he really had no choice but to accept it, because he could take it back to Benedict.

I don't even need to think about it to know that this spicy grouper must be delicious!

However, in order to maintain the false identity of the "physical entity," he did not speak, nor did he even nod in appreciation. He simply took the plate from Chief Giant with both hands in a calm motion.

If Chief Giant hadn't been kneeling with his body almost touching the ground, he wouldn't have been able to sit down and pick up the crystal plate.

Seeing that "Gluttony" had accepted the chieftain's gift, all the giant royals in the spacious wooden house, which was as large as a plaza, felt a sudden surge of excitement, as if their chests were about to burst.

If it weren't for Lord Gluttony's presence, some of the giants among them would have jumped up in frustration.

Although the entities are all mysterious in origin and incredibly powerful, each has its own strange rules that absolutely cannot be violated.

However, this does not mean that physical entities are as mentally confused and completely unable to communicate as supernatural beings.

On the contrary, the entities are all intelligent, and some even possess intelligence that surpasses that of humans, such as the most enigmatic and unpredictable story answerer.

The giant royal family once thanked the Poisonous Patriarch Veronica for clearing away all the strange things in the Thorn Abyss.

However, the entity didn't seem very interested. It merely nodded slightly to indicate that it understood before leading the army of Holy Poison Bees away.

And now, the "Glutton," who is also a physical being, has actually accepted a return gift from the Titan remnants. What this means is self-evident!

The next moment, the glutton, whose appearance and figure were so blurred that they could not be seen clearly, and whose body exuded mystery and strangeness, stood up, holding a plate in both hands.

The Slyther crystal disc, once in his hand, also began to blur.

call out!

Another spatial fluctuation, like an electrical malfunction, accompanied by countless frantic murmurs and low, hoarse roars, and the Glutton's figure vanished at a speed no one could see clearly.

Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the faces of every Titan survivor in the wooden cabin, each giant wearing an expression of flattery and surprise.

After only a brief silence, the giant royalty suddenly erupted in excited cheers!

"Is this true? Not only did Lord Glutton bestow upon my race the blood of Titans, but he also accepted our return gift?"

"Good heavens! If this gets out, I'm afraid no one will believe it!"

"Haha, it's fine if they don't believe it, but if they do, they might be jealous of us."

"Could we be considered the first race in history to establish an initial social relationship with a physical being?"

"Once this matter makes the newspapers, it will probably go viral on all the inhabited planets in the Wright Star Region, and it might even spread to other star regions!"

Newspapers are usually quick to report on any event caused by any entity, and they do so without any reservations.

This is to reduce the probability that others will encounter the entity and die due to a lack of understanding of the entity's rules.

This is also because those incredibly powerful and mysterious entities seem to be very happy for their deeds to be published in newspapers, widely known, and even discussed or celebrated.

In fact, every now and then, some entities will deliberately do things that will make it into the newspapers.

They could even wipe out an entire newspaper and all its staff overnight if some newspapers failed to report on it in time.

No one knows why entities always like to make the news in newspapers, but because of this, people have never been afraid of reporting on such events, and are actually quite enthusiastic about it.

After all, news about real entities is one of the many types of news that people love to read.

Whenever news related to physical entities is published, newspaper sales tend to surge, with many people simply treating it as a horror story.

Moreover, since this is a real event, it seems much more thrilling than reading horror stories.

At this moment, Chief Giant suddenly raised his hand and pressed down, and the room immediately fell silent again.

Then, the aged giant king looked up at the magnificent roof made of gold.

The roof is arched, and a golden chain hangs down, with an exquisite spherical cage at the end, woven entirely of gold wire, as delicate as the birdcages that nobles used to keep their precious birds.

Inside the cage was a tiny figure that looked like it was made of cut-and-paste newspapers, wearing a top hat and a suit, sitting on a sofa that was also made of newspapers.

It held a human-shaped cloth doll, only a few centimeters long, in its hands and was reading it with great interest, though it didn't understand what it could possibly glean from the doll.

Look at him, he looks just like someone reading a newspaper.

Chief Giant solemnly began to speak:

"Was everything that just happened recorded?"

The little figure, pieced together from newspaper clippings, raised its head from the reading doll, but its voice was intermittent:

"It's...it's been taken...it's been taken..."

Chief Giant was completely relieved:

"Alright, edit it briefly yourself, and then send this news to all the major newspapers and nobles in the Wright Star Region."

After saying that, he looked away and stopped paying attention to the little figure made of newspaper cutouts.

This is the secret treasure "Photographic Newspaper," which can simultaneously function as a camera, video camera, telegraph machine, typewriter, printing press, and other tools for the press. It integrates all these functions and is an essential treasure for wealthy human and demi-human nobles.

Chief Giant clenched his fist slightly, his heart truly and thoroughly invigorated.

The fact that the Titan survivors he led had managed to establish a connection with a real entity is truly big news!

He eagerly awaited the nobles' reaction upon seeing this, especially those nobles who harbored grudges against the Titan remnants...

Chapter 39 Initial Results of Physical Exercise!

The attic was completely renovated, with clean and bright furniture, though it showed some signs of wear and tear from prolonged use.

Through the fine gaps of the wooden blinds above the desk, one can see the figures of people coming and going outside.

The temperature dropped slightly today, but the sun was still shining brightly.

The men mostly changed into thin double-breasted coats, mostly indigo or black, while the women also wore warm cloth skirts, some of which were specially fitted with petticoats, giving them a rather luxurious look.

The noisy but not irritating sounds of hawking, conversation, and even children's laughter drifted in from the street, carrying the aroma of cheap snacks such as fried oysters and roasted potatoes.

Xia Fa stood in the room, holding the white crystal plate, still feeling a sense of unreality.

He only went to the Titan remnants in the Abyss Ridge of Dax Star to freeload a meal, and he actually... earned a full 10,000 gold pounds.

Moreover, it also comes with more than a dozen spicy grouper!

That's such a great deal!

In particular, this spicy grouper... can probably be considered a kind of dried fish, which is perfect for Benedict!

Fortunately, the wooden blinds had been closed when he demonstrated his ability to freeload to Bennett, so he could vaguely see people outside the window, but the pedestrians on the street couldn't see him.

Otherwise, just seeing the ten thousand pounds he was carrying would probably have triggered a bloodbath.

"Benise, look what I brought you... oh?"

Xia Fa turned his head as he spoke, but then stopped talking.

The doll-like girl was fast asleep, lying on the dining table, clutching two palm-sized wooden puppets in her hands. One of them looked somewhat like her, while the other was a vicious wolf.

"She actually fell asleep..."

Xia Fa smiled and shook his head. After thinking for a moment, fearing that Benedict would catch a cold, he gently picked her up and placed her on the dark red leather sofa.

Then he picked up the sheepskin coat beside him and prepared to cover her with it.

When he held her, he only felt that her body was a little light, but her skin was as smooth as silk. However, Xia Fa did not pay attention to these things. His gaze only swept over the ball joints on the doll girl's elbows before he looked away and instead focused on her small face.

Speaking of which, after Beneath left the cave with him yesterday afternoon, she rushed to the Endless Realm without stopping, and spent almost a whole day and night trying to help him find the Mithril Emblem.

She must have spent the whole night trying to break that ritual array, but unfortunately, she's not very good at breaking ritual arrays. She was probably exhausted, which is why she fell asleep.

Xia Fa looked at Benedictine, who was breathing peacefully as she slept, especially at her gently trembling eyelashes and her delicate and quiet face. After a while, he gently covered her with a wool coat, using it as a blanket.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa decided to go to the second floor.

The reason he went to the second floor was because after eating that meal, a bellyful of transparent meat strips rich in extraordinary power... he felt that the soreness in his body had almost disappeared.

So, it's time to exercise!

Now, after experiencing all the strange things that have happened to him, he still doesn't know what he is.

But Xia Fa vaguely understood that exercising would definitely have significant benefits for him!

After all, all those miraculous changes only gradually appeared after he started exercising.

Whether it's the burning sensation throughout his body when facing danger, the occasional electric current surging through his spine to help him stay awake, or even his ability to randomly freeload meals...

In the first three days after he transmigrated, when he wasn't exercising, none of these abilities had appeared.

On the other hand, Xia Fa suspected that even if he became a fungal-level superhuman, he would still find it difficult to complete the full training plan after doing 100 push-ups, which would be to do another 100 pull-ups and run 1,000 meters.

It seems that a complete exercise plan has become a very difficult challenge for him.

However, even the slightest progress should lead to a significant improvement!

For example... gaining the next weird but very useful ability?

Or... could he take control of that burning sensation?

That burning feeling only surges from my heart when facing a life-or-death crisis, which is rather inconvenient.

He is currently only a fungus-level superhuman, which is far too weak. Even though he has signed a high-level secret contract and can be compared to an insect-level superhuman, he is still somewhat weak.

Xia Fa was immediately confronted with an elephant-level anomaly, and behind it all was a dangerous individual who possessed the technology to cause the anomaly to lose control a second time, which filled Xia Fa with a sense of crisis.

If we could actively control the feeling of burning, it would be much safer.

"Speaking of which, the 'fungus' in 'fungus-level superhuman' sounds rather weak, whether it refers to bacteria or fungi like mushrooms..."

Xia Fa made a sarcastic remark, then took a few deep breaths, his eyes filled with excitement, and immediately began exercising.

First, he did the push-ups that he was most familiar with.

"One, two, three... fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two... ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!!!"
