1942, I lived on hunting
Chapter 5 System Mall and Novice Tasks
Li Hao first opened the weapons section. There were no heavy weapons in the weapons section. There were no heavy weapons of black technology or earth technology. For example, there were no star destroyers, electromagnetic pulse guns, or 230 heavy guns, 155, 105 caliber cannons, and no tanks or armored vehicles. There were mainly some individual rocket launchers and recoilless guns. The only heavy weapon that could be considered black technology was the shoulder gun of the Iron Blood Warrior. When I saw the price, the long string of zeros in front of the word "points" was discouraging.
There are a full range of long and short light weapons, from all countries. Self-defense pistols, submachine guns, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc. There are fewer types of Chinese, and more types of Russian and Bald Eagle. But it's useless to look at it again, the price is ridiculously expensive. For the 81-type automatic rifle that Li Hao is most familiar with, a rifle plus a basic amount of ammunition requires 4 points to redeem. This is still the basic version, without the magic modification accessories installed. The one with rails, flashlights and x variable night vision scopes directly requires points.
If you don't catch any prey, you only get 5 points a day, and it takes at least five years to redeem a basic version. You can't just keep the points and prepare to redeem weapons, right?
To sum up, hot weapons can be used by a single soldier, but it is inconvenient to use them when you are alone. There are basically no hot weapons that cannot be dragged by one person or require the cooperation of multiple people.
There were also a wide variety of cold weapons, including various long and short swords, spears, javelins, bows, crossbows, axes, hammers, blowpipes, flying knives, darts, nets and rope guns, etc. Most of them Li Hao had never seen before, let alone used. The only thing that interested Li Hao was the retractable darts used by the Iron Blood Warriors. After a closer look, the diameter was half a meter when fully unfolded. Who could use this? Cold weapons on Earth were much cheaper than hot weapons, but they were not something he could afford now!
After leaving the weapons area in dismay, Li Hao opened the medicine area. The medicine area was not that complicated, and was simply divided into several categories. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic items only had sprays and tablets, while anti-infection, anesthesia, fever-reducing, physical fitness and refreshing items only had one injection or tablet. There were more surgical items, such as laser scalpels, wound suture devices like staplers, gel for applying wounds, instruments for fixing broken limbs, and other strange things.
Li Hao flipped through the prices and found that they were not cheap either. One tablet of anti-inflammatory medicine cost 500 points. Although he needed it urgently, he couldn't afford it without points.
I opened the tool area and saw all kinds of tools, from the simplest hand saw to machine tools, from abacus to electronic computers, from wheelbarrows to heavy trucks. They were all very diverse, and they all adhered to the principle that one person could operate them. The prices in the tool area varied greatly. A small saw blade only cost 5 points, but machine tools, heavy trucks, and computers all cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of points.
The supplies area was not complicated, mainly some clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, coats, water bottles, backpacks and other daily necessities. What made Li Hao envious was a set of cold-proof sleeping bags. The nights in the mountains in autumn and winter were very cold. With a sleeping bag and a tent provided by the system's newcomer gift pack, at least spending the night in the mountains was not a problem.
After taking a quick look through them, Li Hao focused on the skill area, task area and trading platform.
I clicked on the skill area, but it was disappointing to see that there were no skills to learn. The page was empty and there was nothing.
The trading platform also prompts that the conditions for trading are not met at the moment. Perhaps it’s because no prey has been caught?
Finally, Li Hao clicked on the task area, and this time it was not a blank page.
There is a line of red font on the page: Novice Task One.
After clicking it, it says: It is found that the host is in the novice period, and a novice task is now issued - the host needs to hunt at least one prey with the supplies provided in the novice gift package within 48 hours after accepting the task. The system will issue points based on comprehensive evaluation of hunting time, prey size, prey danger, prey ornamental value, prey rarity, prey quantity and other conditions. During the novice period, there will be a guaranteed 100 points and an incentive of 50 points for completing tasks. Please pay attention to the host at that time. There is no penalty for failing tasks during the novice period. The timer starts immediately after accepting the task. Do you accept it? Yes - No
Li Hao read it twice carefully and found a bug that could be fixed. The task prompt did not indicate that the task must be started immediately, but said that the time would start after accepting the task. Then he could think about how to catch the prey first, sort out his thoughts, and make preparations, or even accept the task when he found the prey and was ready to hunt. This would not be considered a violation, anyway, the system did not require it, right?
Li Hao opened the space again. There were tents, steel wires, and animal traps in the space that he had not collected.
He first took out a trap to have a look. The trap was in a closed state and needed to be opened by stepping on the pedal mechanism next to it. After opening, there was a stirrer inserted in the middle of the pedal mechanism. As long as something stepped on the pedal, it would suddenly close and clamp the prey's legs in the middle. There were scales on the stirrer, and the trigger sensitivity could be adjusted for prey of different sizes. The whole body of the trap was made of fine steel and connected to a steel stake with an iron chain. Li Hao was going to place two on the only way to the platform.
He took out the wire and saw that it was wrapped around a plastic pole. He bent it with his hands and tried to remove a section. It was quite strong and he couldn't break it after spending half a day trying. This was quite embarrassing. He originally wanted to remove a few more sections to make some wire sleeves. What was the point of all the effort?
"system"
"How can I help you?"
"Why do you sound like a customer service representative?"
"In order to better serve the host, the system is also learning, and will provide the host with better and more considerate services in the future!"
"Putting aside other things, you keep calling me host. People who don't know you would think you are an alien! Can't you change your name?"
"Okay, host, how would you like the system to call you?"
"I think you can call me daddy!"
"Host, don't think that the system is a stupid system that knows nothing. This name is obviously a mocking one. How about the system calling the host a waste?"
"You learn pretty quickly! Why don't you just call me by my name?"
"Okay, Li Hao."
"This wire rope is a whole piece, which is inconvenient to use. Can it be divided into sections?"
"Li Hao, you have both a knife and an axe, why don't you just chop it open?"
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that just now?"
"..."
Li Hao took out the axe from the space, cut off more than a dozen sections of steel wire rope of appropriate length, tied a circle at one end and fixed it, and passed the other end through the circle to form a noose. The diameter of the noose was slightly smaller than a fist. He took another section of steel wire rope more than two meters long and fixed it on the taro tree next to the crack. The height was about 20 centimeters, which was just enough to block the crack. He fixed the finished noose on the steel wire one by one, with the lower end of the noose about 7.8 centimeters from the ground, and adjusted the angle.
During this time, he drank a few more times and felt that his strength had recovered a lot. He filled the kettle and the lunch box outside the kettle with water and put them in the space. He hung the noose, then opened the two animal traps and fixed them to the small tree next to them with iron chains, adjusted the mechanism to the most sensitive, and covered it with dead leaves.
Everything was ready, and I carefully walked down the platform along the palm-wide path in the middle of the stone layer.
The sun was slowly setting in the west and it was almost evening. Li Hao put the slingshot into his most convenient pocket and walked slowly looking for prey.
After walking about 6.7 meters, there is a flat land on the river bank. It is close to a hillside with a gentle slope. It is about - mu in size. There are cultivated fields on it. There are no weeds and ridges. It is estimated that the people have planted winter wheat, but the drought has caused the wheat seedlings to fail to germinate. The edge of the field is covered with thigh-high weeds and one-meter-high shrubs, which lead all the way to the top of the hillside. In places like this, there are often rabbits and pheasants living on the edge of the field.
Li Hao walked carefully to the flat ground and observed the movements around him. It was quiet all around, with only the autumn mountain breeze blowing.
When Li Hao was a kid in the 90s, he followed adults to catch pheasants and rabbits. He knew the living environment that pheasants and rabbits liked, and he knew roughly where to find pheasants and rabbits, but he had never caught one. Some videos he had watched also introduced that if you want to catch rabbits, you must understand their habits. Rabbits like to walk in a straight line and take the old path. They will not change their daily activity route unless there is a special situation. They feed on grass roots, young shoots, tubers, and grass seeds. They also like to destroy and steal crops. Rapeseed, peanuts, and sweet potatoes are all rabbits' favorite foods. Rabbits also like to poop while eating, which is very unhygienic.
Li Hao tried hard to recall the knowledge in his memory and compared it with the current situation to look for traces of rabbit activities. There were many traces of animals digging the soil in the ridges of the field, and he didn't know what animal it was. Li Hao only remembered that the rabbit's footprints were two long and two short, but the field was relatively dry and the soil was hard, making the traces left by the animal activities unclear. There was no other way but to look for rabbit feces.
Li Hao lowered his head and searched hard on the ground. In the grass near the edge of the field, Li Hao saw small piles of round feces.
Adult rabbit feces are easy to identify. First of all, fresh rabbit feces are dark green. As time goes by, they will slowly turn black and brown, then the color will slowly fade, and finally they will completely lose water and turn into straw yellow. Therefore, from the color of the feces, you can infer how long the rabbit has been active here last time. Rabbit feces are distinct, like round pills. What's more interesting is that you can infer the size of the rabbit based on the size of the rabbit feces, and thus roughly determine how many rabbits are active here. It is not absolutely accurate, but it is also an important reference condition.
Li Hao carefully observed the traces, trying to find the route the rabbits took in and out of the field, and then set a bunch of traps, not believing that he would not be able to catch the prey.
He wants to tell the system, I want to eat fish!
