'The last is this thing...'
[Level 5 Novice Gift Package]
'Hopefully, I get more good items... OPEN!'
[Gained: 1x2 Times Exp Card(1 hour), 5xRecovery Pill, 5xStamina Pill, 1xGreater Lucky Sticker, 1xSilver Lottery Ticket, 250 Deity Coins, Level 10 Beginner Gift Package]
'OOOOOWWWWOOOOO... GOD BLESS ME! I... I got 1 more lucky sticker and there is 'Greater' word on it so it must be more powerful?!'
There was nothing new other than [Stamina Pill], just from its name Tang Li Xue could already guess its effect was to restore stamina but do not look down on it since this pill will be extremely useful like if she got chased and did not have any time to rest.
As for [Silver Lottery Ticket], Tang Li Xue knew that her luck has never been good so she decided to use it at the same time when she activated [Greater Lucky Sticker] later for optimum result.
However, Tang Li Xue already determined to only use [Greater Lucky Sticker] if she was really in critical condition and she has no other way out.
'Okay, that's it for my items... Now for my evolution... No... No... No... Not now! Not here!'
In whether novel, anime, or movie, evolution always accompanied by the large commotion and ended up with great exhaustion then passed out so the first thing she must do was to find a safe place to undergo her evolution process!
'I should find a safe place first but this big baggage is a really huge burden on my shoulders... Sigh...'
Tang Li Xue kicked the black-robed man lightly in annoyance.
What made her the most frustrated was that she did not have enough strength to move the black-robed man away so she cannot bring him to the safe place with her and could only guard by his side like this.
'Don't have enough strength?! Should I really use my remaining free stat points and put it into... Wait... Strength!'
'Isn't [Seven-Colored Star Grass] could increase strength?! That's it!'
Tang Li Xue checked the black-robed man once more, after making sure that he was recovering well, she dashed back toward the deeper part of Moonlight Forest where the hole was.

'Handsome, please hang on for a few minutes! Please don't get eaten by a lion before I come back! Well, if the lion really comes, it would be futile even if I guarding by your side...Nyahahaha!'
More or less one hour has already passed from when the black-robed man deathly battle and there was a chance for the lion that ran scared earlier would come back.
Tang Li Xue met with several small animals on her ways like squirrels or snake but she did not waste any time with them and quickly entered back in the dark small hole.
'[Seven-Colored Star Grass], where are you? Come to mommy Tang!'
The hole was dark and quite small only at the size of the palm but there're many branches like complicated tunnels; after searching up and down for half an hour, Tang Li Xue only manage to find several stalks of [Seven-Colored Star Grass].
Tang Li Xue sat near the hole entrance while staring at the several stalks of [Seven-Colored Star Grass] and sighed in disappointment.
'Only this pitiful amount?! Sigh... I really expect it too much. Well, I found a hole, not a herb garden after all. Haha...'
However, Tang Li Xue did not know how hard to grow [Seven-Colored Star Grass] was.
[Seven-Colored Star Grass] was a unique miracle herb; the method to raise it was to bath it with starlight at night DAILY every day without miss it even one day.
Moreover, [Seven-Colored Star Grass] cannot be touched by sunlight even once or it would instantly wilt and die!
So the chance of finding the wild [Seven-Colored Star Grass] was actually extremely minuscule.
It was unknown how many luck that Tang Li Xue's have to find these several stalks of [Seven-Colored Star Grass].
Well, actually if [Lucky Sticker]'s buff was still in effect maybe she would really find a lot more of it.
Tang Li Xue started eating [Seven-Colored Star Grass] slowly one by one while carefully savoring its taste.
The [Seven-Colored Star Grass] was actually tasteless but the cooling sensation that entered her mouth to her throat really made Tang Li Xue addicted.
Her body started to feel warm as a numb sensation began to spread around her limbs.

.....
...
.
'Good Stuff!' Tang Li Xue said in satisfaction after eating all [Seven-Colored Star Grass] cleanly.
She lied down lazily with her bloating stomach while started to daydreaming.
'Now I know why Uncle Sun likes to steal food from Celestial Palace... The food there... Sssss... must be much more delicious and contain tons of EXP...'
Tang Li Xue started to drool again while imagining...
'All of those Xi Wang Mu's peaches of immortality, Lao Tzu's pills of longevity, and the Jade Emperor's royal wine are certainly very delicious and rich of EXP...'
Suddenly hit by a realization, Tang Li Xue suddenly sat and put her tiny paw on her chin to ponder.
'What if... Just what if Uncle Sun was actually a normal monkey at first and he used this system to evolve into an almighty stone monkey in the end?! Not impossible, right?'
'That's why he always stole and ate all the good stuff in Celestial Palace... If I can go to Celestial Palace, I too would probably do the same thing and jump to reach Deity rank faster!'
'And... Since Uncle Sun already stood at the peak now, he did not need this system anymore so that was why he gave it to me as compensation?'
Tang Li Xue shook her furry head and decided to forget it since it did not matter anymore now; her first aim was to get her human form back first. As for Celestial Palace and Deity rank, it was still too far from her for now.
After digested her food, Tang Li Xue decided to check her current status first.

'Dayum... I am a lot stronger now!' Even her strength surpassed her main stat, agility...
Some of her skills even leveled up without her realizing it before!
Tang Li Xue decided to save all her stat points and skill points for later use.
Tang Li Xue dashed out from the small hole and headed back to where the black-robed man was.
She realized that 'toughness' status actually affected not only her HP amount and her defense but also her stamina endurance.
While 'agility' was actually affected her movement speed, attack speed, reflexes, and body flexibility.
Then 'strength'? Is it only affected her power? She still did not know much about it but there is still a lot of time, she could research it slowly later.
After arriving at the place where the black-robed man was, Tang Li Xue did not drop her vigilance and started to scan her surroundings.
Tang Li Xue bit the black-robed man's collar and started to drag him toward the cave where she first woke up.
'So heaaaavy... Urrrrgghhhh! Handsome, if you regain your consciousness later, the first thing you must do is to thank me! Really, if not I would bite your neck off! And also don't forget to reimburse my kindness to you later!'
Fortunately, the black-robed man's clothes were really resilient. Tang Li Xue did not know what it was made from, but she was really sure that his clothes are very expensive.
Tang Li Xue was dragging black-robed man really roughly and his head hits the stones on the way several times. Fortunately, black-robed man has very high cultivation so his body was really sturdy if not, the black-robed man's head would already bleeding furiously on the way and died.
'SHUT UP! I am a fox baby, okay?! It's already a miracle I can save him! Well... I just hope he doesn't have amnesia later...'
Tang Li Xue did not know to whom she was angry but she managed to drag the black-robed man into the cave in the end after a lot of effort.
Tang Li Xue lied down on the cave's cold floor and panted crazily.
Even with her enhanced 'toughness', it was still a too difficult task for her to drag an adult human with her tiny palm-sized body.
'Ssssssh... Dayum... Now the long-awaited EVOLUTION TIME HAS FINALLY COME!'
Tang Li Xue impatiently rubbed her tiny furry paws then opened the evolution window.

8 156A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!

8 182The Half Interesting Life of A Blood Angel.
Brought to you by 2 lazy idiots comes a story so whimsical that it literally took the authors a minute and a half to decide if they were gonna write it or not. Discover the wonders of sarcastic comments and run on sentence as a German and an American struggle to write a story with a bit of depth. Watch as the MC says retarded things because we couldn't think of anything for him to say. Actual description: A story about a guy who dies in a way so cliche its almost not cliche at all. Meets an arrogant god and is reincarnated as his angel. This story is somewhat of a comedy however it has a serious vibe to it. This story will have some blood and gore in it however Ima give it a 15+ because we don't know actually if we use u know what scenes.But hey anythings possible :)Arc 1:Minimal Effort Required- OngoingArc 2:Dammit Who Noscoped Grandma- What do you think

T.W for the entire story violence and gay shitVirgilBroken was probably the best way to describe him, during the day at least. At night he was the one doing the breaking.LoganHe was the biggest nerd at school and although he didn't fully understand emotions he knew his best/only friend Virgil was hiding something and he was going to figure out what.PattonEveryone's best friend but he was hiding something big. RomanHe may or may not admire Virgil but he can't stand how secretive the kid is, he is determined to find out what is up with him. For better or for worse.Together they could be an amazing team, the only problem is that sometimes it is too hard to let someone in even if they are trying to save you.
