Hearing this answer, Mike fell silent.

Second World was essentially a game for players.

It was normal for players to easily get promoted in the game.

However, NPCs, or natives, were also living bodies. They also had thoughts and lives.

They were different from players, who were outsiders. Second World was the real world for them.

It was very difficult for them to improve.

They would not obtain any equipment when they killed monsters.

They could not use skill books to learn new skills.

They did not even have a clear experience progress bar and panel attributes.

They could only improve themselves through constant training.

Most importantly, NPCs died while players could be resurrected.

From this perspective, Second World seemed to be very unfriendly to NPCs.

The players always joked that in Second World, NPCs were more shameless than bosses, because they were too overpowered.

However, in fact, NPCs gained their strength through hard work, and the process was much more painful than what the players had to go through.

Mike did not say anything.

Or rather, he was at a loss for words.

After all, Kordontimus was also a native.

Kordontimus did not intend to delve into this question. He smiled and said,

“Do you intend to continue your cultivation?”

Mike thought for a moment and answered,

“No, teacher. I still have things to do on the continent. If it’s possible, I hope I can learn from you sometime later. Is that okay?”

Kordontimus did not express any dissatisfaction with Mike’s answer. He only nodded.

He knew that adventurers were very busy. It had always been the case from the past until now.

“In that case, I wish you good luck.

“You can come back any time when you feel like learning.”

After saying that, Kordontimus returned to his hut.

Mike glanced at his skill pane. He finally had the time to see the specific effects of the new skill.

[Strong Physique LVL 1 (god-tier passive enhancement): HP increased by 20%]

Looking at this skill, Mike smiled, very satisfied.

Although the 20% increase did not seem very impressive — at least relative to his other skills.

However, this skill is a growth skill.

It was now level 1 and only had a 20% increase in HP.

What about level 2? Level 5? Or even level 99?

At that time, the increase in HP will be huge.

Mike had 10 years to prepare for it, and it would be entirely possible for him to increase this skill to a terrifying level.

Of course, although Mike already seemed completely invincible.

After all, he was immune to all physical and magic damage.

However, Mike still remembered one sentence.

That was, Second World was full of infinite possibilities.

Maybe in this world, there were still other ways that could hurt Mike.

Therefore, it was necessary to improve himself from all aspects.

Confidence was fine, but complete arrogance would only invite disaster.

He took a deep breath and walked down the mountain.

Stone had long returned to Mike’s shoulder. It asked curiously,

“Where are we going now?”

“To the City of Light. Don’t forget that war can break out at any time.”

“Okay, okay, then let’s go to the City of Light!”
