The system was silent.

A sudden disappearance of sound.

Xi Yu closed her eyes, feeling the gentle breeze around her.

The rustling of leaves, along with subtle sounds.

Xi Yu opened her eyes and looked toward the south.

Soon after, the system’s timid voice came through, “Well, actually the items in the store are cheap, but there’s no guarantee at all. The agency fee is a form of guarantee, but it ensures the host can get a 100% refund.”

Xi Yu sneered, “A 100% refund? Just return the part you embezzled, right?”

The system was stunned.

The virtual screen quivered slightly.

Then, the system’s voice stabilized, “The system can be upgraded, and the minimum agency fee is only 1%.”

It resolutely avoided mentioning its embezzled portion.

Xi Yu nodded and then looked back toward the direction she had been watching.

A quarter of an hour later, a stone-toothed beast appeared before Xi Yu.

Gray and three meters tall, it was a wild beast with extremely sharp teeth. Its ears were soft, but anyone entangled by them would find it nearly impossible to escape.

Yes, it was a tier-one star beast.

Not a massive body, but quick.

In an instant, it was right in front of Xi Yu.

The system looked at the star beast ahead in frustration. Just now… perhaps its host wasn’t angry but had sensed the star beast instead!

Could it be that it didn’t notice the star beast because it had just been threatened by the host?

Xi Yu’s gaze was fixed on the star beast before her, her grip on the blade trembling slightly.

The boiling blood surged within her. It was her first time facing a star beast alone, and the excitement surged from her very veins.

Xi Yu’s hand gradually tightened as the claws of the stone-toothed beast came rushing in.

“Boom, boom.”

The short arms of the stone-toothed beast lifted, and a whirlpool of force surged toward her.

A tree beside Xi Yu was shattered, and the debris began to float.

The residual force made the surrounding leaves tremble violently.

Xi Yu had just dodged when the stone-toothed beast followed.

Rolling, she managed to get behind the beast.

But it was of no use. The speed of the stone-toothed beast was recognized across the galaxy.

Xi Yu looked at the massive stone-toothed beast, raised the blade in her hand, and struck fiercely at the beast’s leg.

Its hide was too thick!

It only caused the beast some pain, but it enraged it.

The system’s voice came to her ears.

“I suggest the host keep a distance from…” the cave.

Before the system could finish, Xi Yu had already moved a good distance away from the cave where she had just rested.

Xi Yu took a deep breath and switched to a new weapon, a white blade from her space.

It was entirely white, resembling a low-quality plastic toy, but it was made of the hardest white metal in the empire.

Raising the white blade, she swung down, and the stone-toothed beast was chopped in half.

The white blade seemed to have no blood on it, yet blood flowed continuously from the wound.

The system had been holding back for a while before finally saying, “Host, it looks so simple to deal with this star beast. Why all the fuss just now?”

Xi Yu raised her beautiful eyes slightly, “What a rubbish system.”

The system: “…”

But the great curiosity to uncover the truth was right in front of them!

“Host, host.”

The voice suddenly turned into that of a weak little girl.

Xi Yu ignored the system and simply sat under a tree to rest.

Her body now was a bit weaker than before arriving on this planet.

But she had recovered reasonably well.

After all, she hadn’t taken any healing agents.

Xi Yu looked at the stone-toothed beast and instinctively reached into her space for a destruction tool.

But upon retrieving it, she was stunned.

This destruction method involved using the planet’s external transmission system to throw the star beast directly into a black hole.

However, Planet D6218 was completely sealed off. The entire planet’s map had been downloaded before the sealing.

Xi Yu looked at the star beast before her, her eyes flickering faintly.

If she just left it there, other star beasts would eat it, and the energy contained within the star beast would greatly enhance their strength.

It was equivalent to planting a hidden bomb for herself.

Perhaps Xi Yu had been staring at the stone-toothed beast for too long, prompting the system to raise a question.

“Host, leaving this star beast here will not only attract other star beasts, but its remains seem to enhance their abilities. I just wonder if there are any star beasts on this planet that can inherit abilities.”

Xi Yu asked, “Inherited abilities?”

The system suddenly went silent, as if grasped by fate and was strangled by its throat.

It quickly realized where they were. Why did this place seem so backward?

Xi Yu’s eyes flickered slightly. It seemed this system had many secrets!

“Forget it, how are regular star beasts usually handled?”

Without hesitation, the system replied, “Star beasts, can’t they be directly enjoyed?”

Then it questioned, “Haven’t you all tried eating star beasts?”

Xi Yu hesitated. How could that be possible?

The cannibalism among star beasts could significantly enhance their abilities. Humans, too, wished to enhance their strength to resist the star beasts’ attacks.

From the beginning, humans had targeted star beasts.

But the conversion rate was too low!

Currently, only one or two types of star beasts had been found to be harmless to eat, and even those were only a part. Most of them were harmful to humans.

System: “Star beasts have always been regarded as food on our planet.”

Xi Yu : “Aren’t star beasts poisonous?”

“Very few star beasts are toxic. However, our Great Federal Empire can simply remove the toxic parts. Everything is edible, particularly some gluttonous foodies who prefer slightly toxic star beasts because such beasts must have their own unique flavors.”

The system suddenly realized, “Don’t you all eat star beasts? Only the legendary nutrient solutions? Is the taste of nutrient solutions really good? How can you survive for so many years just drinking nutrient solutions?”

Inheritance of the star beasts was still unknown, and they also had no idea about the edible parts of star beasts.

How far were they from its planet?

Xi Yu asked, “??? Why don’t you explain inheritance of star beasts first?”

A familiar feeling arose in her body.

Xi Yu silently pulled out a nutrient solution from her space wristband. It was a murky white liquid that looked unappetizing.

The system suddenly grew curious. Often, things that seemed unimpressive might taste unexpectedly good.

“Can I analyze it?”

After attempting to analyze the nutrient structure, the results were normal. It shouldn’t be a dark cuisine.

Then it tried to analyze the taste.

Xi Yu could clearly see the taste analysis floating on the system’s interface, remaining at the initial spot before the entire interface crashed.

[Encountered Unknown Attack]

TN: The difference in price is due to agency fee, so it directly doubled the price. This is also the explanation for chapter 1 and 2. Happy reading!
