That bolt of night was lightning; it had just been catching fish and playing in the lake with White Feather.

Seeing Xu Yi and Lu Ke walking on the lake surface, Lightning carried White Feather and flew to them.

Lightning is still not familiar with telekinesis control; it can’t freely walk on water and often falls in.

But it’s having a great time playing.

White Feather just lies on Lightning’s back, also very happy.

"Lu Ke, let’s have a duel." Xu Yi suddenly suggested.

Lu Ke nodded, wanting to know just how strong Xu Yi really was.

"Let’s use daggers, switch them up." Xu Yi said, then took out his dagger.

After all, their daggers wouldn’t hurt them, so swapping ensures they won’t harm each other.

Thus, the two began attacking each other on the lake.

"So cool, even martial arts films wouldn’t dare film it like this."

"0 special effects, but fiercer than any effects movie, I’ve recorded this, it’ll absolutely blow up online!"

"Being this strong at Level 4, won’t Level 5 allow you to soar in the sky?"

"I really want to go to Spirit Blue Star now, running on the water is just too cool."

"Show, show, show; Xu Yi and Lu Ke fighting is too graceful, doesn’t feel threatening at all."

"That’s because Loli Ke is pretty, and Xu Yi is quite handsome too. Try it with two unattractive ones, bet the comments would be full of criticism."

"Xu Yi is too strong, Lu Ke can’t beat him at all, isn’t he just Level 3?"

"Can Divine Masters and Mages be the same? If they were, Xu Yi wouldn’t be rare. Do you know what Xu Yi’s nickname is now?"

"I know, National Treasure."

"Wow, Xu Yi went heavy-handed, kicked Lu Ke right into the lake."

After Xu Yi kicked Lu Ke into the lake, the battle ended.

In twenty-odd minutes, Lu Ke’s defense was breached by Xu Yi, meaning Xu Yi could hurt her. Meanwhile, she hadn’t breached Xu Yi’s defense at all.

Lu Ke simply swam a bit, thoroughly relaxing herself.

Xu Yi didn’t do that; he returned to the lakeshore and picked up a fishing rod.

This morning, he doesn’t plan to go out; he’ll head out in the afternoon.

Even though Xu Yi defeated Lu Ke, he doesn’t think he can beat a Level 4 fierce beast like he did Lu Ke.

He hasn’t seen how strong Level 4 fierce beasts are, but he knows they must be tougher than Lu Ke.

Despite Xu Yi being able to use spiritual power to pull fish from the lake, it would lose the fun of fishing that way.

Sometimes, people are just so contradictory.

After catching a few fish, Xu Yi headed back to camp with a handful of fishing rods.

Picked a few small ones, Xu Yi started grilling them.

Lightning squatted next to Xu Yi, seemed wanting to taste the grilled fish, while White Feather played with Lightning’s tail.

Soon, the fish were grilled.

"Smells amazing." Lu Ke walked up behind Xu Yi, couldn’t help but say.

"Just in time." Xu Yi smiled slightly, passed a fish to Lu Ke using spiritual power, didn’t even need to move.

Then, Xu Yi gave one to Lightning.

Because it wasn’t mealtime yet, Xu Yi didn’t grill for others, only for himself and Lu Ke.

Lightning ate one but wasn’t satisfied, scratched Xu Yi’s leg, then snatched another from him.

Lu Ke also asked for one for White Feather, realizing it really loved eating after feeding some.

After a full meal, Xu Yi and Lu Ke left the campsite together.

Lu Ke said that she’s now a Level 4 Mage and should be able to help Xu Yi, won’t be a burden anymore, wanted to go with him.

So, Xu Yi brought Lu Ke along.

The two rode on Huskies, with Lu Ke carrying White Feather.

Along the way, Xu Yi’s attention was on the plants.

"Xu Yi, is this a pepper? Looks like a finger, all red, has a spicy smell." Lu Ke curiously asked, looking at finger-like plant fruits.

Xu Yi nodded, somewhat pleased, saying: "Yes, indeed like peppers."

As he spoke, Xu Yi picked one, then bit into it.

"Hmm, good, definitely pepper, just not very spicy, mildly spicy. I smelled it and thought it’d be scorching." Saying this, Xu Yi finished the pepper off entirely, as it wasn’t too spicy to eat like that.

Lu Ke tasted one too, then immediately she and Xu Yi gathered all the ’finger peppers’.

Finger peppers were named by Lu Ke, as they do resemble fingers; their tails aren’t pointy but rounded like fingertips.

This patch of finger peppers weighs fifty-six pounds, should be some ten pounds when dried.

Spicy — it’s a primary seasoning ingredient.

Compared to black pepper, it’s more beloved by the masses.

For foodies like Xu Yi and Lu Ke, discovering peppers was akin to winning a prize.

After harvesting the finger peppers, the two scouted the surroundings, hoping to find more. Unfortunately, only this small patch grew.

However, Xu Yi picked up some rotten finger peppers, extracted seeds, and put them in a small bottle.

In 500 days, once they have a stable camp, they can start planting.

By then, nearby fierce beasts may be very strong, daily movements would be quite challenging.

Moreover, by that time, the Spirit Race will have departed, leaving Spirit Blue Star to humans.

Naturally, a suitable place for establishing a home must be found.

If mankind acquires the Spirit Race’s space teleportation technology, there’s no need to construct roads, railways, and such.

Aircraft and space teleportation could entirely change transport.

Cars and trains, as ground-moving vehicles, would be completely obsolete.

Thus, the residential models may significantly change.

Big cities might cease to exist.

After all, to enhance one’s abilities continuously requires being near lush plant areas. Destroying vegetation equates to self-destruction.

Therefore, chances of massive vegetation destruction for constructing houses and large cities should be slim.

Yet, specifics still await all humanity to reach Spirit Blue Star to be clear.

Now, it’s just Xu Yi’s little imagination.

Having packed the finger peppers, the two continued exploring ahead.

After all, the two fear not the dark; Lu Ke also possesses perception ability. Though different from Xu Yi’s, she can ’see’ thirty to forty meters at night.

Along with Star Chart’s map feature, they won’t be troubled returning even after dark.

Had it not been unmentioned when heading out today, Xu Yi wouldn’t have thought of returning.
