Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 4 0004 Market Hut
The surrounding environment changed again, and a musty smell rushed into my nose and mouth.

It is said to be a thatched house, but the layout inside is more like a shabby little shop.

In a room of about 20 square meters, an old counter one meter wide takes up one third of the room.

Behind the counter, on the left, is a tattered cabinet with three compartments, and on the right is a vertical blackboard.

There are words written on it, but it doesn't look like they were written.

From my memory, I know that this thatched house was a functional hut called the market hut.

Some transactions can be carried out and tasks can be released.

Outside the counter, where he was sitting, on the left was a long stool with one leg missing.

On the right is a single wooden bed that looks like it will collapse at any moment.

Wooden benches can restore physical strength.

Wooden beds can heal injuries.

He knew that the reason why this place was so dilapidated was because the stone ring had recognized its master.

It has been so many years since anyone recognized the owner of this thatched hut that everything in it is naturally in tatters.

Of course, using everything here requires points.

Points are gained from two sources: hunting prey and completing tasks.

These functional descriptions all come from the stone ring.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the old cabinet, and there were faint flickering lights in the three compartments on it.

Looking closely, three grids displayed information:

【Ironwood Bow】

Introduction: It is made of century-old ironwood from the wilderness world and the tendons of horn pythons that are more than ten years old.

[Note: Fifty ironwood arrows are given as a gift]

Looking at the information about this bow and arrow, Cheng Zongyang's eyes lit up!
nice one!
As a hunter, he always wanted a good bow, which would greatly improve his hunting efficiency.

It’s not that the county didn’t sell it, but the price was as high as thirty or forty taels. This amount of money was completely unimaginable for an ordinary farmer.

Not to mention that he doesn't have it, even if he does, he can't take it out all at once.

Hunting, as his father said, is useless even if you have perfect archery skills without prey.

Therefore, you won't get anything as soon as you enter the mountains. Especially in the past two years, when everyone is short of food, the mountains are naturally the best choice for many nearby villages.

There is no absolute guarantee of making a profit every day, so it is naturally impossible to spend money lavishly.

As for the bow and arrow in his hand, it was a family heirloom. Although it was easy to use, it was still a little lacking in power.

"I need points. It seems I have to go hunting." Cheng Zongyang murmured to himself and continued to look at the next item.

【Medical bandage】

Introduction: It is made by soaking in medicine and can be used to stop bleeding quickly.

Quantity: 10 (rolls)

Points: 10 points

-

【apple】

Introduction: A plant fruit with a sweet taste and rich juice. It can satisfy hunger and quench thirst.

Quantity: 10 (pieces)

Points: 1 points

-

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly.

【For Sale】Place these three types in three grids.

The [Purchase] column lists the names of ten animals.

The only thing that attracted him on the sales column was the iron and wooden bow and arrow.

As for apples... Think about it, the last time I ate an apple was in my previous life.

Well, two lifetimes.

"The wild apples in the mountains outside are so unpalatable. I wonder if they can be grown."

Cheng Zongyang was thinking wildly.

He has no points now, and can only gain points by hunting creatures.

According to the information, as long as you hunt creatures, you can get different points according to the different energy in the prey unit. For example, a unit of ordinary chicken and a unit of ordinary beef provide similar energy, so the points obtained after hunting are the same.

Points are not awarded based on body size.

Although there are some pitfalls. In addition, if you sell prey, you can also earn points. The premise is that the prey purchased at the market is designated.

However, the items in the [Sell] and [Purchase] lists of this cabinet will not always exist. If they are not completed or sold out, they will be refreshed every three days.

He then moved his gaze to the vertical blackboard on the right.

【Task】

①: Purchase two bear paws.

Points: 100 points

Time limit: 36 hours
②: Collect ten wolf skins.

Points: 100 points

Time limit: unlimited

④: Collect snake gallbladder

Points: 1 points/piece

"This task is neither difficult nor easy."

Cheng Zongyang frowned.

Hunting bears is not a difficult task if you are well prepared.

But wolves are different.

They are social creatures, and killing one will affect the entire group, which can easily lead to accidents.

Similarly, the task bar, like the inventory, is refreshed every three days.

He tightened the hatchet in his hand and looked outside the thatched hut.

It was pitch black.

There is no moonlight.

Time is the same as the outside world.

"Hunting at night is a taboo, let's come back tomorrow." He had no plan to go hunting now.

What Shijie gave him was a simple introduction to the wilderness world, which initially had a forest area of ​​only five square kilometers.

The focus is on the introduction of the functions of the thatched house, and you have to study more functions by yourself.

What made him speechless was that the land area of ​​this world could only be expanded with silver! Increasing the number of grids in the inventory required gold!
Points can be used to purchase items, restore physical strength, treat injuries, etc.

Again, these are just the initial introduction. More features will be revealed later.

With a rough overall understanding, Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Get ready tonight and go outside tomorrow.

After coming out of the wilderness, Cheng Zongyang looked around and returned home. Only Cheng's father was left sitting in the main room.

Cheng Zhou took her little daughter back to the room to sleep.

As for Cheng Zongliang, he shared a room with Cheng Zongyang and had also gone back to sleep.

Rural people have no entertainment activities, so they go to bed early. In addition, these years are difficult, so they go to bed even earlier, perhaps this way they can resist hunger a little.

Cheng Zongyang placed the hatchet on the firewood pile in the corner of the yard and walked towards the main room.

The faint candlelight swayed in the breeze, and the reflected shadows of people shook on the wall, sometimes big and sometimes small.

Seeing his father sitting quietly without saying anything, Cheng Zongyang also sat on the other side and asked in a low voice:
"Dad, what's wrong?"

Cheng Guanghai was silent for a while, and said in a low voice:
"Your mother still doesn't agree with us going into the inner mountains. Recently, many villagers have gone into the inner mountains, but most of them came back dead or injured. It's normal for her to have this concern."

Cheng Zongyang heard this, thought about it, and said in a low voice:

"Jinqiao Village is close to the mountains. Although the drought is severe, people can go into the mountains to hunt, so the villagers can still survive. No one will starve to death.

Our family is doing fine, but given the situation this year, and once my second uncle pays us back next month, our savings will be used up.

Dad, I understand Mom's worries, so listen to me, I will go there by myself tomorrow, and you can tell Mom that we are in the outer mountains."

"Do not…"

"father!"

Cheng Zongyang interrupted his father, looked at his frowning father with burning eyes, and said slowly:

“There can’t be no one at home, so we can’t go together.

To put it bluntly, if something goes wrong with us, in these difficult years, this family will be gone. So, we have to keep one child.

First of all, I learned archery from you, but you also admit that I am better than you.

Secondly, I am younger and can run faster, so if there is any danger, the wolf cannot outrun me. You have also seen this.

Third, I am strong, and if I kill a wild boar or something, I can handle it by myself. This is not the first time I have done this.

Fourth, I’m just going to explore the way first and won’t go deeper.

Fifth, you are the head of the family, and you need to make decisions on many things. I am a person without hair on my lips, and everyone wants to bully me. "
