"When I saw you yesterday, you seemed so familiar!"

Xu Zhiyuan was excited and delighted. "I often watch your videos, especially that one that went viral online yesterday... darts! Your darts skills were absolutely amazing!"

Xu Zhiyi never expected that she would be recognized.

During the day at school, he wondered if any teachers or classmates had seen his videos and recognized him as the "Darts Guy" who had recently become a minor internet sensation.

But the truth is, no one mentioned it all day.

He removed the harpoon from the cleaner fish, rinsed it clean with river water, and then asked Xu Zhiyuan, "I don't think I've seen many cleaner fish along the way?"

"Then you've come to the right person," Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile. "Cleaners like to live in places where the current is relatively calm and there are shelters. You can go and take a look near that bridge pier over there; there should be quite a few cleaners there."

"Oh, thanks."

Xu Zhiyi thanked him and then continued searching for the cleaner.

Xu Zhiyuan quickly followed, "Wait for me, master! I want to go with you and take a look! Don't worry, I promise I won't bother you, I'll just learn from you!"

Xu Zhiyi did not refuse.

The two walked along the riverbank for two or three hundred meters and came to the area under a large bridge.

The river here is much wider and the current is much gentler. The bridge piers are covered with moss and aquatic plants, which is exactly the kind of habitat that cleaner fish like best.

Xu Zhiyi treaded lightly, carefully searching the underwater area by the dim light from the streetlights on the shore.

He quickly spotted his target on the side of a bridge pier.

And there's more than one.

He stared intently and saw three cleaner fish clinging to the bridge pier closest to the riverbank. They were very close to each other, and the largest of them was about 25 centimeters long!

"Wow, that's huge!"

Xu Zhiyuan also saw the cleaner fish, clicked his tongue, and then sighed, "This one must have been released by someone else before. None of the cleaner fish that the aunties released yesterday were this big."

Xu Zhiyi nodded and raised the slingshot directly.

"Whoosh!"

The harpoon pierced the air and entered the water.

It accurately hit the biggest scavenger.

As the waves surged, the fishing line taut instantly.

Xu Zhiyuan watched in amazement.

That's accurate!

That speed!

Truly a master!

This pleco was much bigger than before, and it struggled very powerfully, stirring up waves that scared away the fish nearby, and they wouldn't be back for a while.

This is also what troubles Xu Zhiyi the most.

While the experience gained from scavengers is high, they are not a quick way to hunt them down.

We can only search slowly along the riverbank.

Shoot them one by one.

"Splash!"

Xu Zhiyi quickly reeled in the line and pulled the still struggling scavenger ashore. He had originally intended to smash its head with a rock.

But Xu Zhiyuan said that would be too troublesome.

Finally, on his advice, he easily pierced the cleaner's head with a screwdriver.

Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating one Outland Water Sprite.

[Experience points +50]

[Current Quest Progress: Outland Water Sprite (3/20)]

Xu Zhiyuan helped dig a deep pit under the tree and buried the cleaner fish in it.

The two then continued their patrol along the river, searching for their next target.

Xu Zhiyuan truly lived up to his reputation as a top student in the biology department; he had an excellent understanding of the habits of various fish.

On his advice, Xu Zhiyi quickly identified eight or nine bodies of water where the cleaner fish liked to stay, and they were able to find something in almost every place.

Over an hour later, Xu Zhiyi shot and killed eight more cleaners.

The experience bar also increases accordingly.

[Current Quest Progress: Outland Water Sprite (11/20)]

[Current Experience Points: Lv.4 (1630/2800)]

Nine more are needed.

Xu Zhiyi glanced at the time; it was almost 1 a.m.

He has to go to school tomorrow, so he can't stay up too late.

That's all for today.

Xu Zhiyi buried the cleaner's body in the pit she had dug beforehand, and then said goodbye to Xu Zhiyuan.

"Will you come again tomorrow?"

Xu Zhiyuan asked with a look of anticipation.

In the past hour or so, he witnessed firsthand what it meant to hit the bullseye every time, with every harpoon shot, a scavenger would inevitably be pulled up.

Not a single mistake!

"Come."

Xu Zhiyi nodded.

I'll be free around 10:30 p.m.

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

The two parted ways at the intersection.

Xu Zhiyi rode her bike home, took a quick shower, then climbed up to the attic, imported the footage from her camera to her phone, and did some simple editing.

He's not in a hurry to release new videos.

His account now has over 40 followers, so he needs to post some interesting videos to capitalize on this surge in popularity. Otherwise, once the hype dies down, he'll be back to square one.

Before going to sleep, he lay in bed and opened the character panel.

[Player]: Xu Zhiyi

[Level]: Lv.4 (1630/2800)

[Realm Level]: First Level of Qi Refining (0/100)

[Spiritual Qi]: 800/800

【property】:

Intelligence: 7

Physical fitness: 7

Root: 6

Spirit: 9

[Free attribute points]: 0

[Quest]: Outland Water Sprite (11/20)

I'm still a little over a thousand experience points away from reaching level 5.

However, that wasn't what he was focused on; rather, it was the [Spiritual Qi] that he hadn't paid attention to for a long time.

He discovered that once his [Spiritual Qi] reached 800 points, it stopped increasing. No matter how many times he practiced the [Primordial Breathing Technique], his [Spiritual Qi] would not increase.

It seems to have reached its limit.

Xu Zhiyi understood.

【Spiritual Qi】 and 【Realm】 are closely related.

Perhaps this is the upper limit of the first level of Qi Refining.

Unfortunately, his level was too low; this cultivation game clearly has many features that haven't been unlocked yet.

I wonder if this situation will change after upgrading to Lv.5.

He's now just one step away from being upgraded.

If all goes well, I should be able to complete the "Slay the Outer Realm Water Sprite" quest by tomorrow night, which will give me 800 experience points. Adding that to the 450 experience points from hunting the Scavenger, that should be enough to level up.

Oh right, there's also the monthly exam tomorrow.

He didn't take Wang Kai and Zhou Mingyu's argument to heart at all, but since this matter involved the mission, he had to take it seriously.

After all, in addition to experience points, the mission reward also includes a "random blueprint"!

Anyone who has played games knows that blueprints in games, whether they are equipment blueprints or weapon blueprints, are extremely important and valuable items!

Xu Zhiyi thought of the two rat teeth in her backpack and felt a sense of anticipation.

I wonder if the weapon crafting function will be available after reaching Lv.5?

……

The next morning, Xu Zhiyi got up as usual and exercised for more than half an hour.

Tang Qingxi didn't show up today; she probably slept in.

The monthly exams are today and tomorrow.

While claiming to simulate the atmosphere of the college entrance examination, the school, in order to save time, compressed all six subjects, totaling 10 hours of exams, into a single day and a half.

I have four exams to take today.

During morning self-study, everyone was very focused on reviewing.

As the saying goes, even last-minute sharpening can be effective!

Don't underestimate the importance of early morning study sessions before exams. Often, the knowledge points you memorize before the exam will be the ones that come on the test!

Xu Zhiyi also crammed on her English.

Morning self-study ended, and the exams began soon.

The first exam was in English.

After trying out the curls, Xu Zhiyi quickly glanced through them and felt that her thinking was clearer than before, and her problem-solving speed was much faster.

After finishing the English exam, I took a chemistry exam next.

After lunch and a rest, the math and physics exams will continue in the afternoon.

After finishing the four exams, Xu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He could tell that he had done well on the exam.

It's hard to say exactly how many points I'll get, but it will definitely be much higher than last time!

As soon as the exam ended, Wang Kai came over.

"How are you feeling?"

"good."

Xu Zhiyi got up and walked towards the cafeteria, asking as she went, "How are you?"

"Let me not even mention it." Wang Kai gave a wry smile. "I only wrote 'Solution' on the last big math problem, and I also didn't know how to do a few physics and chemistry problems, so I just wrote down some random answers!"

Sigh, I'm probably going to be at the bottom of the class again this time!

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi didn't know what else to say.

At this moment, Wang Kai seemed to remember something and lowered his voice, saying, "Zhou Mingyu seems to have done well on the test this time too. He's been bragging ever since the math exam, saying he'll at least be in the top ten of the class!"

Xu Zhiyi glanced at Zhou Mingyu at the other end of the classroom. He was surrounded by several classmates, talking loudly about something. Their faces were full of joy and pride, probably because they had done well on the exam.

"Look at how smug he is!" Wang Kai was already in a bad mood, and seeing this made him even more upset. He couldn't help but spit on the ground, "Damn it, he's really annoying!"

Xu Zhiyi didn't respond.

He wasn't really interested in this to begin with.

What he's concerned about now is whether he can get promoted smoothly tonight.
