Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Inside a black wooden box lay five round, small stone bottles.

Tang Wen reached out and picked up a bottle, his expression immediately turning surprised.

The liquid inside the bottle was jumping.

It felt like a carbonated drink that had been shaken vigorously, constantly bubbling.

Recalling Old Crow's explanation, this should be a sign of the potion's vitality.

The potion's name was Body Tempering Potion.

As the name suggests, it strengthens the body after use.

How to use it?

Old Crow had also explained: "You are still young, your physique is not strong, and you are still developing. It is not advisable to take this secret medicine internally. You can divide a bottle into ten portions. Soak in hot water for an hour each time. This will waste some of the potion's power, but it is safer."

Tang Wen hesitated, not because he was worried about the potion being poisonous. The people at the camp had already tested the medicine.

He was willing to listen to Old Crow's instructions.

But how did he determine that his physique was not strong and not suitable for internal use?

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the half-bottle with the least amount of potion, opened the wooden stopper, and smelled it.

A faint fishy smell and an indescribable spicy taste.

The two scents mixed together, smelling very pungent.

Tang Wen poured a mouthful into a cup, picked up the cup, and without savoring it, directly tilted his head back and drank it all.

A fiery sensation burned down his throat and into his stomach.

Then, it spread from his stomach throughout his entire body.

Good medicine tastes bitter.

If it can make me stronger, it's okay if it doesn't taste good.

He consoled himself.

The burning sensation came quickly, but it subsided slowly.

It gradually weakened after a quarter of an hour.

It slowly disappeared after half an hour.

But the attribute panel showed no reaction.

"Looks like I need to increase the dosage," Tang Wen shook his head, picked up the remaining half of the small bottle, and poured it all into his mouth.

The fiery burning sensation felt like drinking 95-proof water of life.

After enduring it for almost an hour, he finally felt better and waited for what he wanted:

[Body: 8.75 → 8.8]

Half a bottle of potion, increased by 0.05?

Is that it?

Tang Wen was stunned.

It was like "spending 1699 to go to the third floor and turn right, there's an exciting project, one-on-three", but after going up, he found out that three masseuses were giving him a scrub!

A deep sense of being cheated arose spontaneously.

The secret medicine extracted from the essence of high-level alien beasts shouldn't be this bad, right?

Could it be that my physique is too strong?

Let's try again!

He first picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of herbal tea, and drank it all to suppress the taste in his mouth.

Then, he turned around, opened an entire bottle of potion, and drank it down.

Hoo hoo!

His throat felt like it was about to breathe fire.

Glug glug!

Tang Wen tilted his head back and drank the tea in the pot in one gulp, but it still couldn't suppress the fiery sensation.

"Brew two pots of tea."

Before long, Xiao Liu came in with a teapot, also carrying a plate of millet cakes in her hand.

She placed them on the table, the little girl secretly glanced at Tang Wen a few times, and left without lingering.

It was now the time for the three maids to practice their martial arts.

Their lives now had a purpose and a goal, which was to become martial artists as soon as possible!

Two hours passed, and Tang Wen's muscles felt a burst of numbness.

[Body: 8.8 → 8.88]

Only 0.08?

Shouldn't it be 0.1?

The dosage was doubled compared to before, but the attribute increase was only sixty percent more.

"Gurgle gurgle"

A sense of hunger came, and Tang Wen, who was already prepared, asked Xiao Liu to bring in the stewed meat from the stove again.

The little girl was very thoughtful, putting down the food and taking out a handkerchief from her chest, placing it next to Tang Wen's hand.

Unfortunately, the latter only cared about eating meat and didn't notice.

After eating two pounds of lamb chops, his stomach felt warm, and the burning sensation completely dissipated.

Comfortably letting out a satisfied burp, Tang Wen picked up the fragrant handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "Black rock mutton, the meat is really good."

The meat of low-level magical beasts tasted delicious and was very filling. He only ate two pounds and it filled his stomach.

Continue drinking the potion.

Glug!

Tang Wen drank the secret medicine for the third time.

After drinking it, before the taste surged up, he quickly picked up the broth from the stewed meat and swallowed it in large gulps.

The aroma of the lamb soup made him feel much better.

The potion's effect took a long time to manifest.

It wasn't until night that the effect showed.

[Body: 8.88 → 8.93]

Only increased by 0.05.

"The resistance is coming too fast!"

He had expected the potion's effect to diminish, but this decrease was too exaggerated.

Tang Wen frowned and drank the second to last bottle.

This time the effect was even worse.

[Body: 8.93 → 8.94]

Only a pitiful 0.01.

There was still the last bottle left, but Tang Wen didn't touch it.

The next day, he gave the secret medicine to Tang Tang.

"Secret medicine?"

"Yes, don't go to the martial arts hall today. Soak in this medicine first."

"I'll do it after practicing martial arts. I can eat two pounds of millet cakes in one meal now." Tang Tang was reluctant because the martial arts hall provided meals.

Tang Wen laughed and said, "Secret medicine is more valuable, it can be exchanged for hundreds of meals. The sooner you use it, the better, the longer you leave it, the worse the effect."

"Hundreds of meals? Doesn't that mean it's worth thousands of pounds of millet? Okay!" Tang Tang stood up with a whoosh.

Tang Wen was puzzled: "Where are you going?"

The newest novel is first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

"Heating water! I'll soak now!"

Watching her back, Tang Wen quickly instructed: "The water should be a little hotter, the effect will be better."

Xiao Liu, Peach Blossom, and Emerald Lotus quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks to help Tang Tang.

After several months of training, Tang Tang, who had a good talent, had already touched the threshold of a second-class martial apprentice.

The secret medicine should be able to help her go further.

Tang Wen was eating, hearing his sister saying in the bathroom: "Add some more boiling water, it's okay, I should be able to bear it. Uh, you three also take off your clothes. In case I can't bear it, Xiao Liu, you jump in, then Peach Blossom, Emerald Lotus! In short, we can't waste the medicinal effect."

Tang Wen's face was full of black lines, and he quickly shouted: "Don't make it too hot, it's not worth it."

"Got it!"

Okay, she should have a sense of proportion, right?

An hour later, Tang Wen saw Tang Tang with red skin all over her body.

Her steps were weak, Peach Blossom and Emerald Lotus supported her on the left and right, and Xiao Liu was preparing her bathwater.

Tang Tang was weak and powerless, eating and not forgetting to summarize her experience: "Tomorrow, I must take a bath in the morning, and go to the martial arts hall to eat after the bath. I paid the tuition, they must provide me with enough food."

Tang Wen: …

His own sister is definitely an expert in terms of utilizing resources.

Tang Wen didn't say anything, and went back to his room to study.

Martial arts is not a matter of overnight, just hone it every day, no need to retreat every day.

But the ice cellar must be filled first.

After thinking about it, he took out a map from his book box.

This was given by Captain Liu of the hunting team.

The map was crude, but it was accurate.

Centered on the location of the Flame Camp.

The northwest and southwest are large areas of farmland.

In the valley in the southwest direction, there are also two large-scale breeding farms. They raise pigs and sheep inside.

Going out of the west gate, more than ten miles away, first is the scavenger camp, and then the lake.

Going northwest from the lake for a day's distance is an open-pit coal mine.

It is now in the hands of the Black Mountain Camp.

The Black Mountain Camp is north of the coal mine.

The distance between the two is hundreds of miles, and in the middle are forests and mountains.

The distance between the two camps is even greater. Normally speaking, it takes a caravan four or five days to reach by horse and cart.

In the mountains southwest of the lake lies Peach Blossom Spring Village.

It is now a branch base of the camp.

These are all shown on the map.

The entire west side is not suitable for hunting.

The east side of the camp is a forest swamp formed by the Blackwater River.

Scavengers here fish for food, and are eaten here.

Injuries in the swamp occur frequently, every day, sometimes it is poisonous snakes, sometimes it is alien beasts, never ceasing.

But scavengers have no choice.

Dozens of miles south of the camp is the wilderness.

Their physical strength to go to the wilderness is tantamount to suicide.

In the forests to the north, there are many wild beasts, and even more alien beasts.

Especially, whether it is wild beasts or alien beasts, their recipes include scavengers.

They have terrible hygiene habits, and the hunters in the forest can smell them from kilometers away.

Often after scavengers enter the forest, before a clumsy trap is set up, the hunter has already arrived behind them.

This is not hunting, this is delivering food to the door.

Ordinary people in the camp basically don't go into the forest to hunt either.

Ordinary people, except for a few wealthy families like Li Daniu, don't care much about hygiene.

If they come out to hunt, they have to face the threat of scavengers.

Scavengers can't deal with wild beasts, but they can deal with them.

Imagine, you risk your life to hunt, finally catch some prey and go home, and are fantasizing about the good life after returning home.

Suddenly, scavengers with hungry red eyes, holding sharpened bamboo poles, rush over in droves.

You have almost no choice but to drop the prey and run away.

Moreover, the millet fields have three harvests a year, and there is endless work all year round.

Instead of going out hunting, it's better to find a way to water the millet fields one more time, and fertilize them more.

Those who are strong and healthy can become guards, isn't it good to have a guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood?

Why go out hunting?

Tang Wen shook his head and put aside these distracting thoughts, turning his attention to the north and south of the map.
