My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 238, Section 237: Feeding → Evolution; Oh no, am I going to become a perfect being?

When Gu Yuan placed a bear paw drizzled with glistening honey on the table, Ramiris's taut string finally snapped.

Suppressing the saliva gushing from her mouth, Ramiris tried to make her voice sound like a queen: "Visitor from another world, after this meal, shouldn't you—leave?"

Gu Yuan listened without looking up, simply cutting the bear paw meat on his plate, and calmly spoke, his previous casualness gone: "Why the rush, Miss Ramiris?"

"Look, I haven't damaged the environment here, nor have I harmed any elves. I've even helped you solve a big problem."

"Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Hilde beside him.

At that moment, she was holding a jar of honey, her mouth full of glistening honey juice.

Gu Yuan said meaningfully, "Moreover, it seems that the residents here do not reject me."

"Right, Hilde?"

Suddenly called upon, Hilde looked up from the honey jar, blinked her emerald green eyes, and nodded very honestly.

That look seemed to say, "As long as there's good food, anything is negotiable."

Looking at her worthless "subjects" and then at Gu Yuan's matter-of-fact demeanor, Ramiris fell silent.

Gu Yuan, however, conveniently "ignored" Ramiris's silence and put a piece of cut bear paw meat into his mouth.

Immediately.

An indescribable sense of satisfaction exploded on my taste buds, followed by the pure magic essence seeping into my limbs and bones.

Gu Yuan closed his eyes contentedly.

The taste is indeed extraordinary; it truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier ingredient.

He secretly praised it, while carefully sensing the changes in his body.

At first, apart from a slight increase in magical power, I didn't feel anything special.

Until the fourth bite, a declaration was made: "Ingestion of the essence of the high-level magical beast 'Bear Demon King' has been completed." "Physical Strength +1"

。》

The sound of the world's voice brought good news.

Gu Yuan was greatly encouraged.

They're here!

Although it is unclear how much of an improvement this "+1" represents, directly absorbing the physical attributes of monsters by consuming their flesh is precisely the manifestation of the "Evolver's" power.

He chewed while calmly analyzing the situation:

Unfortunately, it's a clumsy bear that relies purely on strength, and the abilities I can learn from it are probably limited to that.

Later, after he had completely devoured the entire bear paw, the Voice of the World returned as scheduled:

Announcement. Continued intake — "Physical Strength" +3.

A faint but clearly perceptible heat flowed through the muscle fibers, and Gu Yuan could clearly feel that his upper limit of strength had been raised slightly.

Little by little, this is the cornerstone of evolution.

"In short, this place is not suitable for human habitation."

Ramiris took a deep breath and forcibly averted her gaze from Hilde, who had "betrayed" her.

Although it is unclear how Gu Yuan "bribed" these elves in the short time she had to handle the aftermath, she still tried to make a final effort: "Firstly, there is no shelter from the wind and rain here, and secondly, there is a lack of essential survival supplies for humans."

Gu Yuan raised his head, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if he had already expected her to say that.

"It's okay, I have all of these."

He pointed to the tent, cooking utensils, and even the dining table behind him, "Right now, I just want to stay here temporarily while I can't go home."

Miss Ramiris, as the Elf Queen, do you—hate humans?

Ramiris was taken aback by the abrupt question and instinctively replied, "—I don't dislike it."

"Then there's no problem."

Gu Yuan shrugged, as if all obstacles had been cleared away. "I want to stay here and hope to learn something about this world from you."

"In exchange, what do the elves need? Anything I have, I can provide."

Upon hearing this, the little elves, who were already itching to get their hands on the aroma and the novel items, instantly erupted in excitement.

"Food! Like that fragrant food we just had!"

"And that glistening honey!"

'

They had lived here for too long, their lives were monotonous and dull, and the things from the outside world that Gu Yuan brought undoubtedly ignited their long-dormant curiosity.

"Quiet!"

Ramirez had to loudly maintain order in the name of the Queen.

But seeing the longing gleaming in the eyes of her "subjects," she felt a headache coming on.

Gu Yuan, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, casually saying "You guys chat," before picking up the second plate of cooked bear paws and continuing his "evolution" project.

Everything was within his expectations.

Unlike the simple-minded fairy in the original story, the most effective way to get this mature queen with responsibilities to agree is undoubtedly to use the "public opinion" of the elves.

As expected, after the elves finally quieted down, Ramiris showed a clear look of difficulty on her face.

Refuse? That seems unreasonable. Agree? That goes against the labyrinth's long-standing rules.

It was at this moment that Gu Yuan gained another boost by eating the second bear paw:

Declaration — Strength +2, Vitality +2, Sense of Smell +1.

A surge of more abundant power flowed into his body, and the improvement in his blood and qi made him feel more energetic, dispelling much of his mental fatigue.

If Qi and blood can continue to improve like this, perhaps in the future we can really break free from the constraints of sleep?

He couldn't help but think of it.

As for the "sense of smell +1", although the improvement was minimal, it made him more clearly perceive the surrounding odor molecules.

It seems that the Bear Demon King's abilities are mainly focused on physical enhancement. If I continue to evolve in this direction, I might gain similar keen senses as an orc.

"We've reached an agreement."

Ramiris's voice pulled Gu Yuan back to reality.

She seemed to have made up her mind, her face showing a resigned resignation. "You can stay here temporarily, but you must abide by two conditions."

"First, you must never harm any elf; second, if other visitors from other worlds appear in the future, you must never try to take them under your wing or interfere with their whereabouts."

She paused, glanced at the elves who were staring at her expectantly, and sighed: "As for what they need—just give them what you think is appropriate, there's no need to overindulge them."

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.

"I see. She was in such a hurry to send me away mainly because she was worried about the uncertainties and potential risks brought by visitors from another world."

Considering the time travelers from Japan who caused trouble in the original work, Ramiris's concerns were not unfounded.

"no problem."

Gu Yuan readily agreed, which did not conflict with his core goal of pursuing the ultimate in individual power.

After the agreement was reached, the atmosphere relaxed considerably. Gu Yuan pushed a plate of delicious-looking bear paws onto the empty seat in front of Ramiris, gesturing for her to sit down.

Ramiris looked at the delicious food so close at hand, struggled with her conscience for a moment, but ultimately could not resist the temptation.

While continuing to eat, Gu Yuan began to subtly probe, asking about everything from the weather and terrain to the surrounding forces, in order to determine the current timeframe.

Ramiris was initially wary, but with the comfort of delicious food and Gu Yuan's skillful guidance, she gradually opened up.

As Gu Yuan listened and swallowed the bear paw meat, which contained abundant magical energy and life essence, he gained more.

But this time, the content suddenly caught his eye: "Announcement. Individual name: Gu Yuan, has successfully acquired the skill 'Brute Force' by meeting specific conditions."

Effect: When actively activated, the power of the next physical attack will be doubled.

A sudden realization about how to instantly mobilize muscle power and unleash a strike beyond the limit flowed through Gu Yuan's consciousness.

Gu Yuan was thrilled.

"Finally—a decent attack skill has arrived."

Although it's simple and crude.

However, the effect of "doubling his strength" will undoubtedly become a very intimidating trump card on top of his already powerful physique!

Gu Yuan let out a long sigh.

The exploration and evolution of the new world are filled with ever-growing anticipation.
