After Xia Yuan logged out, Ying Wuji also left the casual mode.

However, Gu Yunxi and the others refused to give up.

Perhaps the challenge of survival had sparked their fighting spirit!

"I heard you can make fire by rubbing sticks together!" someone suggested.

"Yeah! I remember hearing that villagers in the wilderness do that!" Another student's eyes lit up.

"In that case, let's try it!"

The group of seven quickly divided tasks.

Some gathered firewood, while others prepared to start the fire.

Xiao Cheng held a wooden stick, staring at the dry wood in front of him, unsure of how to begin.

Gu Yunxi frowned. "Xiao Cheng, do you even know what you're doing?"

"Of course I do!" Xiao Cheng snapped back, his eyes narrowing.

As a man, there was no greater insult than questioning his capability!

Determined, he pressed the stick against the dry wood and began rubbing furiously.

Jiang Wanshang, watching from the side, raised an eyebrow. "Is this actually going to work?"

"Of course it will!" Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, but he could almost smell the fire already.

At that moment, the others gathered around.

"It's smoking! It's smoking!"

"Quick! Get the dry grass!"

"Careful! Don't smother it!"

Everyone rushed to help.

Soon, a thin wisp of smoke curled into the air.

Moments later, a tiny flame flickered to life.

Xiao Cheng stared at it in awe.

This was his fire.

A wave of pride washed over him.

The admiring looks from his peers made it even better.

Now, it was time for the real reward.

Grilled fish.

The students cheered and laughed as the flames crackled.

The rich aroma of roasting fish filled the air, a scent of victory.

Meanwhile, after exiting casual mode, Xia Yuan found himself back in the main space.

This time, he had a new goal.

"I need to check out the cooking tutorial," he muttered, clicking on the option.

In an instant, the world around him shifted.

A fully stocked kitchen appeared before him.

Xia Yuan blinked. "So... it's really just a kitchen?"

He opened the menu and selected an option at random.

Suddenly, his perspective changed.

He was now inside another person's body.

Xia Yuan tensed.

Was this... some kind of first-person experience?

He took a deep breath and looked around.

A vast mountain range stretched beneath him.

And right below, staring straight at him—

A massive, jet-black bull.

Its muscles rippled, its breath heavy with power.

Xia Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

"Wait a minute... isn't this—"

An Azure Yak.

A powerful beast, rumored to carry the blood of an ancient qilin.

From the aura it emitted, its strength had to be beyond Pathseeker level.

Xia Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Is this a battle?"

Before he could react, a calm voice spoke—

"Step one for making whole roasted beef: slaughter an Azure Yak."

Xia Yuan froze.

"What? Roast whole beef?"

Reality hit him like a brick.

This was a cooking tutorial.

And apparently, step one was hunting the ingredients.

Xia Yuan took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm.

"Alright... let's see how this plays out."

In his hand, he saw "himself" slowly lift a blade.

A gleaming silver kitchen knife.
