After walking a few steps, Nolee discovered a strange plant.
Nolee moved his little short legs and ran over.
Walking up to it, without a second word, he pulled the plant out.
"Gamer, what's this plant called?"
Nolee looked at this strange plant for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only give up thinking on his own. Scratching his little head, he asked Gamer.
"Host, I'm just a skill, not an encyclopedia. If you want to know what this plant is, there's only one method."
Gamer answered.
"What method?"
Hearing there was a method, Nolee's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked impatiently.
It wasn't strange for Nolee to be so eager—after all, Nolee's current priority was to find any clues to confirm his speculation. If it really was the world he was thinking of, then Nolee could prepare in advance. After all, more preparation was always better.
"I can only analyze substances within your body."
Gamer said meaningfully.
"I can only analyze substances in my body. Holy crap, you don't want me to eat this unknown plant, do you? What if it's poisonous?"
Nolee first thought for a while, then discovered the problem. What the hell, isn't this trying to screw him over?
"Gamer, we don't have any grudges, right? What, you want to finish me off this badly? To find the next host? Tell me, how many hosts have you screwed over already?"
Nolee's words were full of resentment.
"Host, we have no grudges, and I would never harm you. Because you are a being formed from Geo elements, although you appear to be a dragon race on the surface, you are equivalent to a type of Geo element taking form. You are essentially immune to all poisons. This medicinal herb won't take your life, please rest assured, Host. Also, please remember, Host, you are my first host and also my last. If you die, I will disappear too. Please don't overthink things, Host."
Gamer answered with her mechanical female voice.
"So that's how it is, I'm sorry."
Nolee awkwardly scratched his head and laughed.
Having just arrived in another world, Nolee was indeed a bit sensitive. But that was normal—after all, this life of his was picked up anyway. Rather than overthinking, he might as well live in the present and take it one step at a time.
With that said, Nolee opened his mouth wide and swallowed that strange plant in one gulp.
"Mmm... doesn't taste very good, the flavor is weird." Nolee carefully savored the taste of that strange plant he had swallowed down, and his body involuntarily shuddered.
"Alright, Gamer, I've eaten it, hurry up and analyze what this plant is. It doesn't taste good at all."
The plant was decomposed bit by bit in Nolee's body, transforming into points of magic that filled Nolee's entire body. Nolee's body also emitted a faint glow.
"Confirmation complete. This plant is named Hipokute Grass. It only grows in regions with high magic density and is an extremely precious medicinal material. It can be used to prepare healing potions, beauty potions... and many other effects."
Gamer analyzed.
Hearing Gamer's answer, Nolee's eyes immediately lit up. Hipokute Grass—it really was that world.
That's right, Nolee's previous speculation wasn't wrong. This world was precisely an anime he had watched in his previous life, "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime," an anime from Japan that was super popular at the time. As an old otaku, how could he not have heard of the great name of theTensura?
However, this world wasn't so easy to get by in. The early period was fine—a Demon Lord Seed could dominate. But in the later period, no—not even needing to reach the late period, in the mid-to-late period the power levels started skyrocketing. Especially the big BOSS—even all the Demon Lords plus the four great dragon species together couldn't beat him. If it weren't for theTensura having protagonist's halo and temporarily powering up with cheats, it would have been a total wipeout for the protagonist's group.
Moreover, every character in this show had their intelligence intact—not a single one with low IQ. Of course, there were a few exceptions. The author won't name names, but readers surely know who they are.
"Forget it, I won't think about it. With the old man's skills, how could I lose? The old man's sense of security isn't just empty talk."
Nolee encouraged himself.
"Right now, the priority is to quickly familiarize myself with the environment and develop myself. In this world, having no strength absolutely won't do."
Nolee didn't dally and grabbed magic ore to stuff into his mouth.
With experience from the previous times, Nolee was now absorbing magic power more and more proficiently. Large amounts of magic power were extracted from the magic ore, and the magic ore in Nolee's body was slowly decomposed and gradually disappeared.
Looking at his increasing magic power, the corners of Nolee's mouth curved into a smile. "Good, keep up the good work. One day I'll strive to become a man like the Geo Archon."
Nolee continued moving forward.
Chunks of magic ore and rare medicinal herbs were sent into Nolee's stomach. Wherever Nolee passed, nothing grew—he nearly ate even the ground itself.
During these days, Nolee not only ate ore and herbs but also researched his skills.

"Gamer" was Nolee's favorite skill, bar none.
It could be said to be the most comprehensive skill—equivalent to a low-spec version of a system.
"Appraisal, analysis, copy, devour, perception, even leveling up by killing enemies"—when Nolee learned about these, he nearly ascended to heaven with joy. But this wasn't even the most overpowered part.
There was also an ability to plunder everything from an opponent after killing them. When Nolee learned about this, he directly exclaimed it was overpowered.
And the "Martial Arts Practitioner" skill was also quite powerful. It could be said that with this skill, Nolee never had to fear close combat again.
Martial Arts Practitioner had three abilities:
Martial Arts Space: Can form a space and create corresponding opponents to spar with, thereby increasing one's combat experience.
Even if one dies in the Martial Arts Space, no harm is caused—only mental fatigue for a period of time.
Martial Arts Eye: Can analyze the opponent's attack weaknesses during close combat and promptly formulate response plans.
Berserker: Can enter a berserker state for a short time, increasing strength, speed, defense, magic power, and other aspects by 300%, lasting for 20 minutes.
As for the Contractor skill, it made Nolee wonder if he was the old man's reincarnation.
Equal Contract: Can sign a contract with another party with equal rights. Those who violate it will receive the Punishment of Stone-Eating.
Life-and-Death Soul Contract: After signing with another party, strength will be synchronized to the other party. Even if an ant signs a contract with a dragon species, it would be the same.
Universal Contract: Can sign contracts with any object—whether it's a living being, an item, or even a faction, etc.
As for the Rational Mind skill, it was simple.
It could make the host immune to any mental damage, such as: lust, anger, pride, etc.
It could also keep the host in an absolutely rational state at all times. It was an essential skill for leaders giving speeches.

Now, his comprehensive self-evaluation was:
Just slightly stronger than trash.
