Only I can make them stronger

But at least for now, his value is still quite high, which is probably not a bad thing.

After closing his own file, Xia Ye turned his gaze to the lower right corner of the system.

Just now, after learning Leah's name, a file belonging to her appeared here. Now he had time to open it and take a look at it slowly.

[Name: Liya]

[Bond Mission: None]

In addition to the plump figure visible to the naked eye, the most attention-grabbing thing about Xia Ye in this file is the term "alien" in the race.

He hasn't started playing "SEEK" yet, so he doesn't quite understand many of its settings.

But judging from the terms such as "factor disease" and "factor ability" below, there is no doubt that this is definitely one of the core settings of this game.

"I'll need to ask Leah about this matter tomorrow after she wakes up..." After silently memorizing this in his mind, Xia Ye looked at Leah's numbers a few more times and closed the file.

After coordinating all the information, he still has one thing to do - strengthen himself.

According to what Leah said in the afternoon, Type 1 dogs can be said to be the lowest class in the wilderness, at a level that anyone who passes by can step on them.

He had no power to fight back.

Even though Leah had agreed to take him back to the city, Xia Ye still felt uneasy because she had no ability to protect herself.

So, after thinking it over, he decided to use up once of the enhancements in his original ability.

As for the target of strengthening, it is naturally the crowbar in his hand.

Although it might be a bit of a waste to use it directly now, it is better than losing your life.

Xia Ye never liked to leave money for his own coffin.

Thinking of this, he clicked on the effect ① of [Origin] and aimed at the crowbar.

"Strengthen the current item. The probability of strengthening is 100%. Regardless of success or failure, the number of times you can use the strengthening will be reduced by one. There is no additional special consumption. Do you want to continue?"

"Yes!"

White flames surged out from his hands again, wrapping around the entire crowbar as if it were being tempered.

Soon, the flames dissipated, and the surface of the crowbar had a layer of dark luster. At the same time, the system prompt came:

"Enhancement successful, please name your exclusive enhancement item——"

"Holy Sword of Physics." Xia Ye entered the name without thinking.

"Name completed... This item is bound to the host and will only have a strengthening effect in the host's hands."

"Physics Holy Sword +1: It is harder than the ordinary physics holy sword and has stronger destructive power when used."

Xia Ye frowned and checked the enhanced properties of the crowbar in his hand, then stood up with a smack of his lips and walked out of the container.

The description of the system was too vague, and he needed to give it a simple try to know the specific effect.

Coming to a big tree, Xia Ye kicked it twice to make sure how strong the tree was, then picked up the crowbar and swung it hard.

Under normal circumstances, this blow would probably only crack the outermost layer of bark a little bit.

At this moment, the moment the crowbar touched the tree trunk, Xia Ye felt the change in the feel.

The sense of recoil was reduced a lot, as if it was not hitting the hard surface of a tree, but hitting a softer sandbag.

Then, a feeling of shattering came from the stick, until the force of the blow was completely used up.

Xia Ye widened his eyes and looked at the mark left by the stick just now——

Large pieces of bark fell off the surface of the thick tree, revealing the white trunk underneath;

The tree trunk was cracked with spider web-like patterns centered on the place where the stick had hit.

At first glance, Xia Ye would even think that the tree had just been hit by a bullet.

The enhanced effect of [Origin] ability is more powerful than he thought.

As a result, Xia Ye's heart became hot again.

He has always liked the crowbar, a weapon that is both interesting and practical.

Now that the strengthening effect is so good, why not just use up the other strengthening times and directly create a true physics holy sword?

From now on, this crowbar will be his exclusive weapon!

Xia Ye did it right away. He opened the system again and chose the enhanced effect.

"Strengthen the current item. The probability of strengthening is 99.8%. Regardless of success or failure, the number of times you can use the strengthening will be reduced by one. There is no additional special consumption. Do you want to continue?"

"……Yes!"

Although the success rate dropped by 0.2%, Xia Ye chose to continue after a slight hesitation.

As the white fire passed by, the crowbar became darker and had a more frosted texture.

"Physical Holy Sword +2: Based on +1, it becomes harder and more destructive. It is also easier to use and the swinging speed is slightly faster."

3. Soaring Favorability

"Good morning...Xia Ye." Liya sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes and greeted him.

"Good morning." Xia Ye leaned against the wall of the container and responded weakly.

He didn't sleep all night.

The unfamiliar environment and the attacks he encountered after entering the world made it impossible for him to sleep.

During this time, he roughly estimated the power of the crowbar and the consumption of using [Origin] for treatment.

Combining last night's test and the previous treatment of Leah, after the healing flame is activated, one's mental strength will be reduced at a rate of 1.5 points per second, and this consumption will not change with the change of target, it is probably a fixed value.

In other words, at most he can now activate the healing flame for 20 seconds.

Once his mental strength drops below 5 points, he will experience dizziness, nausea, palpitations and other symptoms similar to hypoglycemia, which should be similar to the situation of magic overdraft in novels.

"Can we go back to the city today?" Seeing Leah stand up and put away her windbreaker, Xia Ye quickly collected his thoughts and asked.

"I don't know." Liya shook her head.

"I can't read maps. I usually rely on my sense of smell and the strength of the force field to sense the direction when I go out, and I have never made any mistakes."

"But it doesn't feel like we're too close right now, so I don't think we'll be able to make it in time."

"Sense of smell... is it really a dog girl..." Xia Ye thought speechlessly, and quickly said: "Can you show me the map? Maybe I can understand it?"

However, Leah's words shattered the hope that had just risen in his heart.

"But I didn't bring a map because I couldn't understand it."

………………

"What are these creatures...?"

Xia Ye looked at the two Type 1 dogs in Liya's hands and asked in confusion.

The two had been walking in the wilderness for a whole morning. Apart from the desolation everywhere, the two Type 1 dogs were the only creatures they had encountered in the past few hours.

"It's food! There are very few things to eat in the wild, and Deinonychus are an important source of food!" Liya seemed to be in a good mood, and she answered while humming an unknown tune: "This one is mine, and the other one is for you. We will eat it together later!"

"They're called Devil Beasts... How did they come into being?"

"Hmm... I seem like Luo Qi told me... but... I don't remember! As long as it's edible, it's fine!" After hearing this, Leah tilted her head and thought for a while, and gave an answer that was very much in her Leah style.

Xia Ye gave up.

Although the communication time was short, he had completely understood Leah's way of thinking.

In this girl's mind, most things are simple and crude.

So he could only sigh and asked tentatively:

“Are these guys delicious?”

Xia Ye also began to feel hungry.

From yesterday till now, he has hardly eaten anything, not even a sip of water.

At this point, my situation was barely safe, and hunger began to attack my mind.

"Luoqi can cook them deliciously, but I can't cook..." Hearing this, Leah immediately said with a bitter face.

Xia Ye's heart moved, and he suggested:

"Well...how about letting me try it this time? I'm quite good at cooking."

Having been single for many years, Xia Ye would make some delicious food whenever she was alone at home, and she was very confident in her cooking skills.

"Really?" Then, he saw a visibly glowing light in Leah's eyes.

"Really..." Then, before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by Leah and pulled under a tree.

“Do it now!”

"Ah? Now?" The girl's execution ability in some aspects made him feel ashamed.

"It's time for lunch!"

As she spoke, Leah skillfully picked up several stones of similar size and quickly formed a circle, then found some dead branches from the side and placed them in the middle.

Seeing that the other party was about to make a fire and throw the Type 1 dog on it to roast, Xia Ye quickly stopped her.

He saw the whole process of Liya roasting the Type 1 dog yesterday. Xia Ye's evaluation of this was -

There's no way it could taste good.

No bleeding, no removing of internal organs, no seasoning, the whole thing is just dry-roasted and a little burnt.

He couldn't even imagine how terrible the smell would be.

"Well, don't rush to bake it, let me take care of it."

Under the girl's puzzled gaze, he took the bodies of the two Type 1 dogs and poked the flat side of the crowbar into their bodies.

With his vigorous rowing, the dog's corpse was cut in half easily.

I have to say that the +2 crowbar is really useful. It can be used as a blunt weapon or a sharp weapon. In this case, it can also act as a kitchen knife.

After quite skillfully processing the two bodies into several large steaks, he frowned and asked:

"Do you have any seasoning? Something that adds flavor to food."

I don’t know why, but Xia Ye had subconsciously added some incomprehensible explanations when communicating with Leah.

"Seasoning... Yes! This!" Liya rummaged in her bag for a while, and suddenly took out a bottle of black particles and said:

"This is [Luoqi's special magical seasoning that makes food taste better when added to anything], but I don't know how to use it, so I have always..."

While Xia Ye complained about the weird name in his heart, he took the seasoning bottle and smelled it.
