After walking a few steps, Host discovered a strange plant.
Host sped over on his short legs.
He walked up to it and, without a word, pulled the plant out.
“Gamer, what’s this plant called?”
Host stared at the strange plant for a long time but couldn’t figure out what it was.
He gave up trying to think, scratched his little head, and asked the Gamer.
“Host, I am merely a skill, not an encyclopedia.
There is only one way to find out what this plant is.”
The Gamer replied.
“What way?”
Hearing that there was a way, Host’s eyes immediately lit up, and he asked impatiently.
It was no wonder Host was so eager; after all, his most pressing task now was to find every clue to confirm his guess.
If it truly was the world Host imagined, then he could prepare in advance, as it’s always better to be overprepared.
“I can only analyze the substances within your body.”
The Gamer said, hinting at something.
“I can only analyze the substances within my body.
Oh my, you’re not trying to make me eat this unknown plant, are you?
What if it’s poisonous?”
Host thought for a moment before realizing the problem.
Oh my, wasn’t this a trap for him?
“Gamer, we don’t have any grudges, do we?
What’s going on?
Are you so eager to get rid of me and find the next Host?
Tell me, how many Hosts have you tricked to their deaths?”
Host’s words were full of resentment.
“Host, we have no grudges, and I will not harm you.
Because you are a being formed from Rock Element, although you appear to be True Dragon, you are essentially a manifestation of the Rock Element.
You are immune to all poisons.
This herb will not take your life, please rest assured, Host.
Furthermore, please remember, you are my first and last Host.
If you die, I will also disappear.
Please do not overthink things, Host.”
The Gamer replied in her mechanical female voice.
“So that’s how it is.
My apologies.”
Host scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.
Newly arrived in this other world, Host was indeed a bit sensitive.
But then again, his life was a bonus anyway.
Instead of overthinking, it was better to live in the present and take things one step at a time.
With that, Host opened his mouth wide and swallowed the plant in one gulp.
“Hmm… not very tasty, the flavor is strange.” Host carefully savored the taste of the strange plant he had eaten, and his body involuntarily shivered.
“Alright, Gamer, I’ve eaten it.
Hurry up and analyze what this plant is.
It really doesn’t taste good.”
The plant was slowly decomposed within Host’s body, transforming into tiny bits of magicules that permeated his entire being.
Host’s body also emitted a faint glow.
“Analysis complete.
The name of this plant is Hipokute Grass.
It only grows in areas with high magicules concentration and is an extremely valuable medicinal material.
It can be used to formulate healing potions, beauty potions, and many other beneficial concoctions.”
The Gamer analyzed.
Upon hearing the Gamer’s reply, Host’s eyes immediately lit up.
Hipokute Grass!
It really was that world!
That’s right, Host’s initial guess was not wrong.
This world was precisely an anime he had watched in his previous life, “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.” This anime from Japan was incredibly popular back then.
As an old-school otaku, how could he not have heard of Rimuru’s great name?
However, this world was not so easy to navigate.
The early stages were fine; a Demon Lord Seed could dominate.
But by the later stages, no, even by the mid-to-late stages, the combat power would skyrocket.
Especially the big boss, even if all the Demon Lords and the four great True Dragons teamed up, they couldn’t defeat it.
If it weren’t for Rimuru’s protagonist halo, temporarily bursting with power and cheating, the protagonist group would have been completely wiped out.
Moreover, the characters in this anime are all incredibly intelligent, with no one being of low intelligence (of course, with a few exceptions, which the author won’t name, as readers surely know).
“Forget it, I won’t think about it.
With the old man’s skills, how could I lose?
The old man’s sense of security is not a false reputation.”
Host encouraged himself.
“The most pressing task now is to quickly familiarize myself with the environment and develop myself.
In this world, lacking strength simply won’t do.”
Host didn’t dawdle.
He picked up the Magic Ore and put it into his mouth.
With previous experiences, Host was now increasingly skilled at absorbing magic.
A large amount of magic was extracted from the Magic Ore, and the Magic Ore within Host’s body slowly decomposed and gradually disappeared.
Looking at his increased magic power, a faint smile appeared on Host’s lips, “Good, keep it up.
Strive to become a man like the Rock King someday.”
Host continued to move forward.
Magic Ores and rare herbs were sent into Host’s stomach one by one.
Everywhere Host passed, not a blade of grass remained; he almost ate the very earth.
These days, Host not only ate minerals and herbs but also studied his skills.

The “Gamer” skill was Host’s favorite, without a doubt.
It could be said to be the most comprehensive skill, essentially a low-end version of a system.
“Appraisal, analysis, replication, devouring, perception, and even killing enemies to level up—all were available.
When Host found out, he almost soared to the heavens with joy.
And that wasn’t even the most abnormal part.”
There was also the ability to plunder everything from an opponent after killing them.
Host called it abnormal when he learned about it.
And the “Martial Refiner” skill was also quite powerful.
It could be said that with this skill, Host no longer had to fear close-quarters combat.
Martial Refiner has three abilities:
Martial Arts Space: Can form a space and create corresponding opponents to spar with, thereby increasing one’s combat experience.
Even death in the Martial Arts Space will not cause harm, only mental fatigue for a period of time.
Martial Arts Eye: Can analyze an opponent’s attack weaknesses during close combat and promptly formulate countermeasures.
Frenzied Martial Arts: Can enter a berserk state for a short period, increasing strength, speed, defense, magic, and all other aspects by 300% for a duration of 20 minutes.
As for the “Contractor” skill, it made Host wonder if he was the old man’s reincarnation.
Equal Contract: Can sign a contract with an opponent, with both parties having equal rights.
Those who defy it will receive the Punishment of Rock Devouring.
Life-and-Death Soul Contract: After signing with an opponent, strength will be synchronized to the other party, even if an ant and a True Dragon sign the contract, it will be the same.
All-Things Contract: Can be signed with any object, be it a living being, an item, or even a faction.
As for the “Rationalist” skill, it was simple.
It can make Host immune to any mental damage, such as lust, anger, arrogance, etc.
It also allows Host to maintain a state of absolute rationality at all times, an essential skill for leaders when speaking… His current overall self-assessment is:
He’s only slightly stronger than a total weakling.
