The small vegetable moths were numerous, fluttering their wings in the vegetable fields. The orange cat lifted its paw, and a small laser gun shot out a laser. Any small vegetable moth that came close to the laser instantly turned into flying ashes, and above the orange cat’s head floated a constant “Experience +2.”
Although Bo Ge now had a cane, no, a staff, and couldn’t use skills, he could swing the staff to initiate physical attacks. The small vegetable moths were very realistic, with slender legs and claws. Each time one was struck down, scales would fall from its wings. Bo Ge accidentally inhaled some and immediately began to sneeze continuously.
【Congratulations to the player for completing the C-rank mission: Eliminate 100/100 small vegetable moths.
Mission rewards: Star Coins +36, Experience +60.】
A magic array appeared under Bo Ge’s feet, glowing brightly, and then the system prompt sounded.
【Congratulations to the player for reaching level 1, unlocking +1 skill slot, and gaining +5 to maximum health, +5 to attack, and +5 to defense.】
Under the orange cat’s feet, a magic array also appeared, but it was leveling up from level 1 to level 2.
Whether it was gathering, fighting, or competing, there were experience bonuses. Yesterday, the orange cat picked a hundred strands of silk flowers, successfully reaching level 1. Combined with today’s mission completion, it reached level 2.
Bo Ge, holding the orange cat, continued to accept tasks, from collecting Purple Crown Grass to hunting Thorny Antler Beetles. For several consecutive hours, in order to maintain the same progress as Bo Ge, the orange cat deliberately completed one less task. After reaching level 4 together, the orange cat’s mental strength couldn’t keep up, and it was forcibly logged out. Bo Ge took a short break and headed to the milk bar.
When the character information panel was opened again, there were changes in the data.

Opening the equipment section, aside from the “SSS-grade Armor,” there was now an unnamed weapon. Strangely, the staff couldn’t display its level.
The skill slot was open but still empty. Bo Ge learned from the forum that there were three ways to acquire skills in the second world. The first was to buy them in the store, even the lowest-grade D-level skills cost 3000 Star Coins, making it completely unprofitable.
The second method was to obtain them through completing tasks. Generally, tasks that rewarded skill books were A-rank or higher and relatively challenging.
The last method was to acquire skills by defeating monsters, with the highest drop rate from group bosses. The higher the boss level, the better the skill book obtained.
Bo Ge pondered how to find a group boss to defeat while on the way to the milk bar. A man in a black uniform blocked the teenager, wearing a standard professional smile on his face.
“Hello, excuse me for asking, may I inquire if you can provide on-site services?”
These days, does anyone still offer on-site services?
“He, is he unwell?” Bo Ge looked puzzled, envisioning an elderly plush toy leaning on a cane, trembling. “So he can’t leave the house?”
The man’s professional smile stiffened for two seconds. “My Boss just has a more reclusive personality and doesn’t like crowded places.”
Seeing the teenager seeming a bit hesitant, the man opened his wrist brain and entered a number.
“This is your reward.”
5000 Star Coins! Just for a plush toy! It’s an incredible offer, no reason to refuse!
The man piloted the aircraft, and Bo Ge leaned against the window, noticing the aircraft deviating more and more until it reached a deserted area.
“Is this place too remote?” Various unfavorable speculations flashed through Bo Ge’s mind, but on second thought, this is the Second World, and he can escape at any time.
“Boss’s beast form is a leopard,” the man explained with a smile. “Leopard-type beast people have a strong territorial awareness and prefer to live alone. Moreover, my Boss is quite special. If the usual territorial awareness of a leopard-type beast person is 1, his territorial awareness is 10. Except for special circumstances, no other living beings will appear in his territory.”
A solitary leopard? Bo Ge supported his chin with one hand, pondering, “Is he like this in real life too?”
“Basically the same,” the man’s smile didn’t waver. “But you don’t need to worry. Boss has extremely strong combat capabilities. Even without a guard, he can fully ensure his own safety.”
The aircraft landed, and the man led Bo Ge to open an invisible barrier. The originally dense forest began to twist, revealing a mansion that resembled a palace.
“This is too luxurious.” Bo Ge stood on the conveyor belt, admiring the surroundings—fountains, swimming pools, golden decorations everywhere, and some highly artistic sculptures.
“I’ll inform Boss, and the robot butler, Nais, will show you around better.” The man left politely, and a robot butler came to Bo Ge, making a “please” gesture.
“This is the master’s meditation room.” Nais guided Bo Ge through a tour, and Bo Ge saw an indoor aquarium where giant marine creatures swam overhead. It was exclusively for one person to enjoy, a luxury that Bo Ge hadn’t expected.
“This is the master’s hall of honors.” Nais walked ahead, and Bo Ge widened his eyes, scanning various medals, trophies, and plaques. It was a dazzling array, filling the entire room, so golden that it was hard to look directly at. Could this be what they mean by being outstanding from a young age?
“This is the master’s trophy exhibition hall.” Seeing the teenager’s amazed expression, Nais opened another room.
“Trophies?” Bo Ge curiously looked at dozens of blue data streams in front of him, not understanding what these were.
“The master is responsible for safeguarding the stability and safety of the Second World. Some people, after death, upload their consciousness and wreak havoc in the Second World, even affecting the real world. The master deletes or detains these consciousnesses.”
Detaining consciousness? Bo Ge couldn’t quite imagine.
“All that you see here can be considered genius consciousness. Each one is well-known. They have unique ways of thinking and innovative abilities. Although they made mistakes, completely deleting them would be a huge loss to the Alliance. So the master uses this method to let them make amends for their past mistakes and benefit the Alliance.”
Bo Ge nodded thoughtfully.
Nais guided Bo Ge outside, and while passing by a blue data stream, Bo Ge’s light brain made a “ding” sound. The adjacent data stream blinked twice and quickly returned to normal.
Nais turned around, seeing the joy in the teenager’s eyes as he looked at his light brain.
“My subsidy from the Alliance has finally come in.” Bo Ge said happily as he saw the credited 300 Star Coins.
“I noticed that your light brain seems to lack a robust firewall. In this situation, it’s very susceptible to intrusion.” Nais calmly looked at the surrounding data streams and extended his hand to Bo Ge. “Do you mind if I install a firewall for you?”
Although not clear about what just happened, Bo Ge still extended his hand, allowing Nais to proceed with the operation.
