Chapter 1

The weather was fine, with cloudless sky, and an endless grassland. Lu Yu quietly hid behind a large rock.

He wore a grass ring on his head and a selfmade grass coat tightly wrapped around his body.

This outfit made him sweat profusely even though the weather wasn’t hot. He endured this discomfort just to observe and avoid an incoming large group of beast.

The air trembled slightly, and Lu Yu perked up his ears.

Before long, a rumbling sound approached from afar.

The grasses and sands rose off the ground, accompanied by the intermittent low roars, as a group of gray-brown mammoths, with two sharp tusks and thick fur, leisurely passed by.

Lu Yu silently recited a sentence in his heart.

[Open panel]

As soon as he uttered these words, a light blue transparent electronic screen appeared in front of his eyes, visible only to him.

Lu Yu stared at the largest and strongest mammoth in the distance, and the panel’s light circle keenly captured the target, displaying a series of information.

[Mammoth (Leader): Land Melee]

[Threat Level: B]

[Drop Rate: Grade C Storage Ring]

The dropped item was actually a storage ring!

Lu Yu swallowed his saliva, eagerly examining the words “storage ring” again and again.

With a storage ring, regardless of its size, it was a treasure. With this, he wouldn’t have to laboriously weave baskets or carry things on his back.

However, no matter how good the items were, he could only watch and couldn’t use them with his ordinary human physique.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn’t help but feel resentful.

He had been transported to a primitive society, not knowing if he was still on Earth, and the cheat he received was actually a game panel.

It’s not that the game panel was bad; on the contrary, it was incredibly powerful. It could turn real animals into monsters in the game, and killing them would drop various magical items.

But the problem was—

He was just an ordinary human. The animals here were all real. He couldn’t defeat the large ones, nor could he catch up with the small ones. With his physical qualities, how could he dominate the primitive world?

Lu Yu ground his teeth in frustration. Since he was given a cheat, why not just enhance his physical abilities, damn it!

—

Lu Yu, a Chinese, twenty-four years old this year, was a chef specializing in palace cuisine. Before being suddenly brought to this strange place, he was serving as a judge for a culinary competition.

During the competition, he tasted a piece of extremely strange-tasting beef and was about to educate the timid little chef when he suddenly fainted.

When he woke up, he began his wilderness survival journey.

Lu Yu was a person who believed in accepting what had come his way. Until he figured out how to return, he would temporarily suppress feelings of despair and fear, which would make people weak and vulnerable, and strive to survive.

But reality was reality. He was a giant in thought but unfortunately a dwarf in this situation.

On the twelfth day after crossing over, he felt like he couldn’t go on anymore.

Food was not a problem. As a chef, in the lush jungle, he could always find something edible.

However, safety was completely unguaranteed, with too many dangerous creatures around. He had to carefully consider where to sleep, either in narrow caves or high trees, constantly afraid that his tender white flesh would become someone’s dessert.

Fortunately, he hadn’t encountered any fierce beasts face-to-face yet. Occasionally, he would catch some smaller animals, such as wild rabbits, slug, and fishes, etc.

These small animals, after being searched by the game panel, would drop items such as [Small Healing Pill] and [Antidote]. These two things could forcibly prolong his life.

But luck could run out. Recently, because of the changes in the season, more and more wild beasts were passing through here, and he needed to find some security for himself.

Today, coming to spy on the mammoth parade was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

In this land, not far away, lived a group of lions.

Whether these mammoths, who came from afar, wanted to pass through this area or settle here, they would inevitably encounter the lion family.

As the saying goes, when two tigers meet, one must be injured. And as long as the beasts were searched by the game panel, no matter how they died, they would leave behind treasure chests that only he could see.

Lu Yu’s plan was to be a fisherman after the clam and crane fought.

The lion leader he had stealthily searched using the game panel can dropped a [Grade C Battle Axe].

With this axe, he would have some self-defense ability.

After observing for a while, as he expected, the distant mammoth army encountered the indigenous lion family.

The mammoths were huge, with ivory tusks over a meter long, sharp and curved, capable of easily poking holes in prey and lifting them up. They had formidable combat capabilities. However, this mammoth family had fewer tusks, only five, while their opponents, the lion family, had a full twenty adult lions.

Although lions were not as large as mammoths, they were agile and divided their labor reasonably, with some attracting attention, some biting, and some harassing.

This battle lasted for a full two hours.

Lu Yu was hiding behind the rocks, was almost bitten to death by mosquitoes but he didn’t dared to move, fearing that he would be noticed by some sharp-eyed lion and instead of watching the tribal war, he would become a snack for them instead.

As the sun was about to set, the battle ended with the mammoths abandoning a member of their own and fleeing.

The mammoth’s body was large, and the lions happily feasted on it.

Lu Yu’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the sparkling treasure chest beside the mammoth.

The one that died wasn’t the mammoth leader, but according to the rule he knew, it would generally drop the same item but one level lower.

In other words, inside that chest, there was likely a Grade D or Grade E Storage Ring.

Even if the original plan of the lions didn’t pan out and he couldn’t pick up the axe, Lu Yu remained optimistic.

As long as there was a harvest, he was content. Don’t ask for too much.

Now, he just hoped that these lions would quickly finish their dinner and go to sleep, or the chest would disappear in an hour.

Excited yet anxious, Lu Yu waited.
