God Has No Form wasn’t exaggerating at all—this bowl of meat soup tasted exceptionally delicious. 

Not only was it delicious, but the moment the soup touched his tongue, it instantly transformed into warm energy that flowed through his entire body.

His body warmed up instantly, and his stamina recovered visibly—it was far more effective than eating several large bowls of food earlier.

Clearly, this was something special. Qiyu held the bowl and sipped it carefully, savoring every mouthful until it was finished.

【I Love Survival Game: Finished drinking.】

He really wanted to ask where these wings came from, and he also wanted to explain what had happened over the past few days. It was clear that God Has No Form was truly worried about him.

【God Has No Form: Hurry.】

【God Has No Form: Why don’t you take a shower and relax first? If you’re really tired, go take a nap.】

Although he understood what had happened to Qiyu—he knew his friend’s personality well—if Qiyu said he’d run into a bit of trouble and hadn’t replied for several days, then he must truly have been in a bind.

Whatever the situation was, if he had to resort to using a survival board, it must have been extremely tense or dangerous. Now that he knew the person was safe, he was naturally worried.

Qiyu was a beat slow to react before he finally said slowly:

【Okay.】

He had regained some strength now; after lying on the cold floor for several days, it was time to wash up. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, and as the hot water poured over him, Qiyu realized just how cold his body had become. He stayed under the shower a little longer, then came out and changed into a pair of fluffy, very warm pajamas.

Remembering something, he took the brocade flame feather X10 out of his backpack and transformed it into a brocade flame ornament.

The brocade flame ornament was a red, feather-shaped decoration that matched the color of the small house’s floor perfectly. It raised the indoor temperature by 5°C.

As soon as he placed the ornament, the effect was immediate—the air around him grew chilly.

【I Love Survival Game: I’ve taken care of myself.】 

【God Has No Form: Want to get some more rest?】

Qiyu hesitated for a moment; after all, being unconscious for four days for that reason didn’t exactly seem like something to be proud of. But then he remembered the messages God Has No Form had sent him—his friend was very worried about him.

More importantly, chatting with him felt just like chatting with any of his other friends in the zone.

When he chatted with the Civil Engineering Brother and the others, even though they get along really well now and trust each other, he seemed to come across as a bit of a mystery to them.

Qiyu could sense that every time they spoke with him, they treated him with a certain degree of cautious deference. 

This was evident from the fact that, with the exception of Tranquility Yields Transcendence—a very elderly gentleman—everyone else referred to him as “Game Expert” or something else.

Qiyu thought it might be because of his status as the number one player on the regional leaderboard.

He didn’t think there was anything particularly good about this attitude, and naturally, there were certain things he wouldn’t let them say out loud. It was as if they were invisible.

Although this person would blurt out all sorts of random titles like “godfather,” “real dad,” and “big brother” at the drop of a hat, Qiyu could sense that these were purely playful nicknames. 

He didn’t fear him, nor did he ever display the slightest hint of caution.

Perhaps it was because they weren’t in the same major region, or perhaps because God Has No Form himself was also number one on the 88th region’s leaderboard. Whatever the reason, when interacting with him, Qiyu felt a bit more at ease.

A kind of… strange sense of equality? 

【Love Survival Game: I’m not sleepy—I just woke up after sleeping for four days.】

【God Has No Form: ?】 

Qiyu told him that the reason he hadn’t replied in time this time was because he’d gotten too absorbed in engraving magic scrolls, completely draining his magic and energy, and ended up sleeping for four days before waking up. 

【God Has No Form: …】

【God Has No Form: You call that sleeping for four days? That’s called being in a coma.】

He was speechless, yet also amused and exasperated. Still, once he understood why Qiyu hadn’t been able to reply, he felt much more at ease.

Thank goodness, he didn’t stumble into a secret realm or face a life-or-death predicament.

【God Has No Form: So, are you feeling okay now? Will there be any aftereffects?】 Qiyu pulled out a bottle of healing potion he’d just retrieved and tilted his head back to drink it.

【I Love Survival Game: I’m okay—just completely drained of stamina and mana, with a slight headache and some weakness. I feel much better after drinking the potion.】

The healing potion took effect immediately; the pain on his scalp gradually faded. He reached up to touch it—it still hurt. 

So he could say with confidence:

【I Love Survival Game: I hit my head when I fell, but I’m all better after drinking the healing potion.】

God Has No Form could guess that he must have collapsed and lost consciousness right away. Such a clever old stick-in-the-mud. He added a prefix to his message. 

【God Has No Form: So you were lying on the ground for four days? You said earlier that it’s been raining and getting colder where you are—don’t catch a cold.】

Huh, that’s strange. He was clearly tired—his whole body felt sluggish, and all he wanted to do was collapse like a pancake. His brain didn’t seem to be working properly either. 

Looks like he’ll have to be more careful from now on. He feels weak—my brain seems to have gone dull.

【I Love Survival Games: Took a hot shower, changed into some really warm pajamas, and even made a little ornament.】

【Love Survival Game: It’s raining really hard over here, and the temperature has dropped to 0 degrees.】 

【God Has No Form: So it sounds like the bad weather where you are is just cold temperatures and rain. It’s the complete opposite here—the temperature has already reached 45 degrees today.】

Qiyu stared at those words and remembered something he’d wanted to do before losing consciousness.

【I Love Survival Game: Here, take a look at this.】

【Information: Swift meat.】

【Love Survival Game: I think you’ll need this over there.】

After reading Swift Meat’s description, Dan Xingyu was stunned—this was practically a godsend for desert regions. Compressed water, right?

【God Has No Form: It really is a great item.】

【Your friend “I Love Survival Game” has sent you a gift.】

【Received 3,300g of Swallow Meat.】

According to the Survival Game’s description, 1g of Swift Meat is equivalent to 500ml of water. 

That’s equivalent to over 3,000 500ml bottles of mineral water! And it’s water for the desert!

God Has No Form took a deep breath, relieved that his days of staking out the area had finally paid off when he successfully bagged that Sky-Splitter.

He’d often joked with his friends in the small group chat, saying he hoped to meet a benefactor who’d let him live off him. But when he actually encountered a genuinely kind friend, he found himself struggling to accept it.

He couldn’t accept I Love Survival Game’s gift, nor could he bring himself to accept this sincere gesture with a clear conscience.

Among friends, if one person is always giving more, then the relationship between the two is still equal. He wanted his relationship with I Love Survival Game to be like that. 

God Has No Form analyzed it and concluded that this mindset stems from his natural competitive drive. 

As for the title “godfather,” it’s fine to just say it out loud. Since they’re both number one on their respective servers, he absolutely can’t accept the idea of living off “I Love Survival Game”!

【I Love Survival Game: Swifts are mutant creatures born from rainwater; killing a swift may drop Swift Meat. Swifts are actually quite abundant. If you need some over there, you can buy some from our region.】

【God Has No Form: We really need it, and if the temperature here keeps rising, the demand will only get bigger. But let’s not rush—we still need to carefully consider the price.】

Qiyu didn’t feel particularly rushed either, because his mind felt as if it were filled with mud—it was struggling to function properly. 

He thought about it for a moment.

He decided to set this matter aside for now and focus on things that interested him, such as how God Has No Form had managed to create those wings. 

【Love Survival Game: Are You an Artifact Forger, Too?】

By the way, Teacher Tranquility Yields Transcendence, it seems you’ve managed to craft such powerful items as well.

【God Has No Form: No, I’m just an ordinary swordsman.】

He showed Qiyu his character profile; under “Class,” it clearly read “Swordsman (Level 3).” 

Swordsman？

Qiyu recalled that in Gold Hole City, Guild Master Sean had just explained this to him.

So he sent the swordsman’s level details to God Has No Form.

Dan Xingyu: Shocked.jpg.

【God Has No Form: ??? How do you know this so well! Seriously, are you a pro gamer or something?】

【I Love Survival Game: No, I just happened to see the swordsman’s level breakdown.】

【God Has No Form: Whoa, I actually thought I’d run into a cheater.】 

【Love Survival Games: What do you mean?】 

【God Has No Form: Ahem, it just means you’re really good.】

Dan Xingyu knows the swordsman tier system. 

【God Has No Form: To be honest, if I ran into you, I’d really feel like I was one of those “chosen” protagonists in novels who’s constantly favored by fate—you know what I mean.】

He told Qiyu that on his second day in the survival game, while exploring the safe zone, he accidentally stepped into a sand pit, rolled around for several minutes, and fell into a hole in the ground.

【God Has No Form: When I finally got back up, I found myself in a cave, with a skeleton sitting on the ground in front of me, along with a book and a jade box.】 

【God Has No Form: That combination was just too classic. Right then, I felt like I had this in the bag.】 

He didn’t tell Qiyu that he’d even wondered at the time: Could it be that all the suffering he’d endured in his first eighteen years of life was just setting the stage for him to become the protagonist in this survival game? 

There, he received a legacy—a cultivation manual and a set of herbs to improve his physical constitution.

【God Has No Form: I also learned about the Sky-Ripper Beast from that legacy, as well as the formula for crafting the Azure Sky Wings. Plus, with the blueprints and workbench in the survival game, it’s even easier to put together.】

The real challenge, however, was hunting down the Sky-Ripper, a Level 5 mutated creature. He had spent nearly half of his life savings.

But if he succeeded, it would not be a loss.

He crafted the Blue Sky Wings and gave them to Qiyu; he had plenty of uses for the remaining materials himself.

【I Love Survival Game: Was the soup you just gave me also made from Sky-Ripper meat?】

【God Has No Form: Yes, is there something wrong with that?】

Qiyu thought back to that bowl of soup—how, the moment he swallowed it, he felt his qi and blood surge through his body. None of the mutant beast meat he’d ever eaten had that effect.

【I Love Survival Game: The Sky-Ripper must be a high-level beast, right? Since you were able to kill it, it must not have been easy.】

No wonder God Has No Form had said earlier that he’d be away for a while, might not have time to cook, but would definitely reply to messages in a timely manner. He’d known all along that this journey would be perilous.

【I Love Survival Game: God Has No Form, you’re really impressive.】 

It took a while before he replied: 

【God Has No Form: Hmph, I know.】
