1942, I lived on hunting

Chapter 3: The Newbie Gift Pack

With excitement in his heart, Li Hao silently read the space, and saw a big gift package for newlyweds that looked like a Christmas gift box lying quietly in the space.

As Li Hao's thought changed, the big gift package seemed to dance, swaying and spinning in the space, and finally bulged in the middle, accompanied by the flashing of small fireworks, and exploded with a "bang".

The exploded packaging gradually disappeared, and pictures of several items were suspended in horizontal rows in the space.

1 roll of thin steel wire rope—1x1mmx200M

1 outdoor axe - with sheath length 30CM

1 multi-function hunting knife - with sheath length 25CM

10 animal traps – 20 cm in diameter

A multifunctional kettle - 1 liter capacity, an external lunch box

1 set of autumn and winter desert camouflage uniforms - suitable for height 170CM

Outdoor hiking boots - size 41, with 10 pairs of thick cotton socks

1 slingshot——with 2 sets of accessories, 500 steel balls

1 single thickened tent

Li Hao looked at them carefully again and again. For a novice hunter, these items are indeed necessary. However, when he put himself in their shoes, he found that this was really a rip-off!

First of all, Li Hao was injured. There was a big cut on his forehead. Although it was no longer bleeding, it still made his head ache from time to time. He didn't know whether it would become infected and inflamed later.

Secondly, Li Hao had no food or water to eat, and he couldn't remember the last time he ate. His mouth was bitter from thirst, and he was anxious from hunger. In addition, he was too frightened and fainted on the cold ground for a night. Now he had to thank God for being alive. Amitabha.

The system only gave him a bunch of equipment, but no medicine or food. In his current state, he might die before he could catch any prey!

"System, I'm very thirsty and hungry now, is there anything I can eat or drink?"

"It's in the system mall, the host can check it out for himself."

Li Hao opened the system mall with a thought. The mall interface was very simple. It was mainly divided into several areas:

Weapons Area

Tool Area

Supplies Area

Pharmaceutical Area

Food Zone

Skill Area

Mission Area

Marketplaces

Li Hao couldn't wait to open the food area. The food area was filled with all kinds of food and drinks. There was nothing you couldn't think of. Even various snacks and specialties from all over the world, and all the famous dishes from the eight major cuisines were included.

Li Hao usually delivers takeout and is most familiar with all kinds of fast food. When he tried to take out a bowl of pork trotter rice, the system prompted that points were needed to redeem it.

"integral?"

"Yes, host, all items produced by the system require points to redeem."

"How many points do I have now?"

"The host's current score is 0."

"So that means I can't exchange anything now?"

"Yes, host, please start hunting as soon as possible and exchange it for points."

"How many points do I need to redeem a bottle of Fatty Happy Water and a serving of pork trotter rice?"

"20 points."

"You won't get any points at the beginning? And don't you say you can get points even if you don't catch any prey?"

"The host needs to start hunting before points will be awarded! Even if no prey is caught, 5 points will be awarded per day."

"That means it takes 4 days to get a serving of pork trotter rice?? I'm afraid I'll die of hunger before I even start eating it!"

"If you just want to maintain your body's needs, the system recommends the basic nutritious liquid meal produced by the system. It only costs 5 points and can meet your body's needs for 24 hours."

"Well, it looks like I need to start hunting soon, or I'm really going to die here!"

Li Hao first received his clothes and shoes, then took off all his clothes except for his underwear. There was a pocket sewn inside his original clothes, which contained a good citizen certificate, a road permit, several house deeds, a roll of dollars and two small gold bars. He did not even bother to check them and threw them directly into the space.

After taking off the clothes, I started to change into the desert camouflage produced by the system. I have to say that the camouflage produced by the system is of good quality, and it is very different from the migrant worker camouflage on the market. I don’t know what material the fabric is made of, but it is strong and scratch-resistant. It is thickened at the elbows and knees, and there are interlayers with protective plates. The lining is down and can be removed with a zipper. There are Velcro on the cuffs and trouser legs to adjust the tightness. Pockets are thoughtfully designed on the outside of the thighs, chest, and waist, etc., which are convenient for storing and carrying items. The pants are also equipped with a canvas belt with plastic buckles to adjust the size. Two pairs of gloves, one full-finger and one half-finger. Two hats, one can be installed on the top with a zipper, and a wide-brimmed fisherman’s hat. A mask with a skull pattern, and windproof lenses can be placed at the eyes of the mask.

He was quite satisfied with the clothes. Apart from being a little big, he couldn't find any fault with them.

When it came time to change shoes, there was a problem. He had lost one of his original thousand-layer cloth shoes and could no longer wear them. The shoes the system issued now did not fit his feet well. Although the quality looked good, they were obviously two sizes larger than the feet of this body. He had no choice but to wear two more pairs of socks and cut the original owner's autumn trousers into strips with a knife and tied them around his feet. This finally solved the problem.

After changing into this set of clothes and shoes, he was already out of breath. It seemed that there was really something wrong with this body and he had to find a solution as soon as possible.

He stood up with great effort and looked around. He saw no trace of other humans, nor anything that could be used. He looked up at the family still hanging on, spat and cursed them, saying they deserved it. He didn't feel any of the bullshit "the death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn" for this body. He could only feel the nausea rising from the bottom of his heart. He turned around and slowly walked out of the village.

I will never come to this damn place again!!!

Outside the village, the autumn morning sun shines on the hillside. Terraces are stacked from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, like a ladder built by a naughty child, crooked left and right. Winter wheat should have sprouted by now, but now there is no green in the fields. The two-finger-wide cracks caused by drought are densely spread in the fields, like cracked mouths, praying to the sky for rain irrigation. The wild grass is not so afraid of drought, and it grows sparsely all over the fields. It's a pity that people are not cattle or horses, otherwise they can survive by eating grass.

Li Hao took a slingshot and some steel balls from the space and put them in his waist pocket, ready to see if there are any small birds or something he can try to shoot. Fortunately, it is 1942 and there is no animal and plant protection law, otherwise you can't use your great ability unless you like to pedal a sewing machine. However, given Li Hao's current situation, I don't know if it can be considered as an emergency avoidance as Zhang Sanke popularized.

Li Hao was born in the countryside. There is no country boy who can't play with a slingshot, it's just a matter of how well he plays. Li Hao did play with a slingshot when he was a child, but he wasn't very good at it. The bullets he fired were like the faith shots of an African black uncle, and where they flew depended on fate.

The weeds caused by the drought did not grow very well. There were many of them, but the quality was much worse than in previous years. Many of them did not produce seeds, and the birds that lived on the seeds had to forage more diligently.

In the gaps between the terraces, some are planted with persimmon trees and jujube trees. Magpies, which wake up at dawn, are basking in the sun on the sunny branches. They chirp and call their friends, while a few are busy competing for status on the branches.

Li Hao quickly bent down to reduce the exposure of his body, took out his slingshot, loaded it with steel balls, and moved towards that direction with low footsteps.

Desert camouflage is not suitable for use in mountainous areas in late autumn, but it is still much better than no camouflage at all. The tan stripes provide good concealment when stationary, but once moving, it is not in harmony with the surrounding environment, and it is not easy to deceive animals with good eyesight.

It was probably because the magpies here had never been shot by anyone and were completely unaware of the danger. It was not until Li Hao slowly got to about 15 meters away from a few magpies that he stopped and slowly raised the slingshot in his hand.

After getting the slingshot, Li Hao did not practice shooting but hurriedly looked for prey to catch. Not long after he walked out, he encountered these magpies. When he pulled the slingshot, he was dumbfounded.

The rubber band of the slingshot was short and thick, and the tension was too great. When he stretched it halfway, his hand began to shake like a convulsion. This body was still young, had a comfortable life and had never worked, and was hungry and injured. It seemed impossible to control this slingshot with such a high tension.

Anyway, I couldn't stop and change the rubber band now, so I had to rely on my luck. I relaxed a little to make my hands less trembling, roughly aimed at the branches where several magpies were gathered, and shot out.

The steel ball flew past a magpie's tail. The magpies were completely unaware of the danger and continued to chirp.

Li Hao replaced another steel ball, took rough aim and shot it out.

This time the steel ball was farther away and hit a small branch directly. With a snap, the branch broke. Several magpies were startled and jumped to other branches, observing the situation curiously.

Li Hao replaced another steel ball and was about to aim again when the magpies seemed to have finally discovered the danger. They chirped and flew away.

Li Hao watched the magpie fly away in disappointment, sighed, and began to look through the slingshot accessories in the space to see if there were any thinner rubber bands. After looking, he was a little disappointed, because the rubber bands in the accessories were the same as those installed on the slingshot.

And just like that, his first bird hunting attempt ended in failure.

This result is expected, but I don’t know if I can get 5 points from the system.

Feeling a little dizzy, Li Hao took a breath and then slowly walked away to look for other prey.
