Chapter 37: The Giant-Horned Deer's Trail, A Clever Seal of the Thunder Fruit

The next morning, Xiao Yun found Huang Haoran.

After explaining his purpose, Huang Haoran readily agreed to help sell the surplus resources.

"Don't worry, Brother Yun, I'm a professional in this area. I'll handle it perfectly for you!"

"Okay, you'll get 10% of the profits after it's done."

"That's not necessary, but..."

Seeing his hesitant look, Xiao Yun chuckled:

"What do you want? Just say it."

They've been through thick and thin together, so there's no need to hide anything.

"Hey, Yun-ge, could you sell me the equipment in here first?"

Huang Haoran pointed at the bark arm guards with a longing look on his face.

Although its durability is a bit low, it's still a decent piece of armor that can save your life in a critical moment.

"That's it? I thought it was something more."

Xiao Yun picked up the arm guard and tossed it into his arms.

"The durability is almost gone, just make do with it for now, and we'll replace it with a better one when we have the chance."

Huang Haoran risked his life to save him yesterday, and given their long-standing relationship, Xiao Yun already considers him a brother.

"Hehe! Thanks, Brother Yun, you're so generous!"

Huang Haoran looked delighted and kept thanking him.

Xiao Yun patted his shoulder, turned around and went back to the dormitory to pack his things and prepare to leave.

While tidying up, he glanced at today's preview information.

[Preview 1: The Star Moon Goose leader's old wounds have not healed, and coupled with yesterday's storm and the continuous threat from the Sky Feather Golden Eagle, its condition continues to decline. It is expected to reach its lowest point in five days... The Star Moon Goose is savage and greedy, but it also intimidates other predators in the vicinity. Because of its pain, other predators are eager to make their move...]

[Preview Message 2: 1.8 kilometers to the northwest, a cave entrance has been revealed under a broken giant tree. Inside the cave is an altar. Offering sacrifices will yield a treasure chest.]

[Preview 3: Due to climate change, the giant deer herd is migrating from the alpine meadows in the northwest to the forests in the south. It is expected to pass by the stream 2.3 kilometers west of Xingyue Lake in about 50 hours. Giant deer are gentle in nature and valuable in every part...]

"Today's preview information is pretty good, but the last one... 'every part of him is a treasure'? Isn't that obviously tempting me to go hunting him?"

It's around 8:30 in the morning now. 50 hours from now, that means the giant deer herd will appear at the designated location at 10:30 the day after tomorrow.

Xiao Yun pondered, calculating the potential profits from hunting a deer:

"Giant moose, judging from the description, is similar to moose on Earth. An adult moose can grow to about half a ton. The wild animals in this world must be even stronger, maybe each one weighs more than a ton, and they're in groups. It's definitely impossible for just the people in our dorm to catch them..."

"We can invite Chen Liming and Qin Zhou along. They're not bad either; at least they remained neutral yesterday and didn't kick us when we were down."

After Xiao Yun finished making the plan, the others also took care of a series of daily tasks such as feeding the rabbits and watering the plants. They then set off early with their equipment and food.

The impact of yesterday's extreme weather was enormous. The surrounding forest was in ruins, with rocks and broken branches scattered everywhere, and the roads that had been cleared by people in the past few days were blocked again.

Fortunately, after yesterday's integration, the dormitory building is much more united.

The student council is organizing people to clear away debris and reopen roads in different directions.

As soon as Xiao Yun came downstairs, he saw a group of people working enthusiastically, which surprised him.

"Huh? The student council is so well-organized now?"

Just as I was wondering, a hearty laugh suddenly came from the side:

"Haha, it's all because my classmates gave me face."

Qi Xiaoran walked up to Xiao Yun and warmly invited him:

"Have you had breakfast yet? We've prepared a hot breakfast, let's eat together."

Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, smelling the aroma of porridge wafting from the side, and felt somewhat tempted.

Although it was just plain porridge, steamed buns, and pickled vegetables, it was practically a state banquet for people who hadn't had a proper breakfast in a long time.

Xiao Yun nodded, about to agree, when suddenly, Du Zhaoyan poked her head out.

"Even ministers have to work; those who don't contribute don't get to eat!"

"Ahem... Well, in these extraordinary times, Xiao Du is right."

Qi Xiaoran felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't refute her.

If you take the lead and act specially at a time like this, how can you win people's hearts? The people's hearts that have just been gathered may fall apart.

"Haha, don't worry, we're not the kind of people who like to get something for nothing."

Xiao Yun smiled and chose the northwest direction.

"If we go there to help, we can lighten some of the burden for everyone."

To the northwest are dark, towering mountains, a place rarely visited by people. The roads there are already in poor condition, and today almost no teams chose to clear that area.

But the student council couldn't just ignore it; they wasted a lot of manpower just for this little path.

Now that Xiao Yun has taken the initiative to assume responsibility, it has greatly reduced the burden on the student council.

Qi Xiaoran cupped his hands in greeting, his eyes filled with gratitude:

"Thank you very much, Brother Xiao Yun, you've been a great help!"

Where can you find a classmate like Xiao Yun who is strong, dedicated, and grateful?

"I must make Xiao Yun mine!"

Qi Xiaoran roared inwardly, but wore a warm smile on his face:

"Brother Xiao Yun, thank you for your hard work. I'll add an egg to your breakfast later!"

"Haha, thanks a lot then."

Xiao Yun waved his hand and led his brothers towards the northwest.

On the way, Wang Tianyuan asked, puzzled.

"Brother Yun, didn't you say yesterday that there would be good stuff at Star Moon Lake after the thunderstorm? Why didn't we go there? Why did we choose this direction? It would be a pity if someone else took the good stuff."

"There are good things in this area, but with everyone gathered here today, there are too many eyes and ears, so it's not appropriate for us to directly take advantage of the situation."

Xiao Yun explained, stopping Wang Tianyuan's questions.

"Let's get to work first, walk into the forest for a while, and then talk when we're out of sight."

Seeing that Xiao Yun had already made a plan, Wang Tianyuan nodded and said nothing more.

Fearing that it would delay Xiao Yun's plan, the four men swung their stone axes, creating afterimages, and in less than ten minutes, they had already cleared more than 500 meters of road.

"Brother Xiao Yun is truly an honest and kind man!"

Qi Xiaoran exclaimed in admiration as he watched Xiao Yun and the others disappear into the forest.

"Xiao Du, once you have some manpower available, cut down all the trees in the northwest direction."

"Ah, Minister, why is that?"

Qi Xiaoran frowned, gazing northwest, his eyes flashing.

"That grove of trees is too dense; it's blocking my brother Xiao Yun's view..."

"...I'm begging you..."

Du Zhaoyan did not respond and continued working in silence.

I want to quit my job. I'm so fed up with hearing this kind of nonsense every day.

On the other side, after confirming that they would not be seen by others, Xiao Yun and the others stopped what they were doing.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, a dark shadow fell from the sky.

"Croak—"

The invincible Crow King stood on Xiao Yun's shoulder and proudly raised its head.

"Okay, I know you've gotten better."

Yesterday, [Starry Night Omelet] also had a portion of it. Although it was less than one-tenth, it still gave the King a qualitative leap in strength.

skill:

[Shared Vision E+: Consumes 5 mana per minute to share vision with the owner.]

Compared to before, the Crow King is completely different. As a bird, he even has higher attributes than most of the people who have just transmigrated.

Moreover, the addition of the [Shared Vision] skill makes it even more functional.

"Goose eggs are indeed very effective for the king. If we give it more goose eggs, will it evolve? Or should we just feed it goose meat?"

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, having no direction regarding evolution.

Setting things aside for the time being, Xiao Yun began preparing for today's important matters.

Seeing the magical tool Xiao Yun pulled out of his bag, Ji Mingyu suddenly realized:

"So that's why you took down my landing net yesterday?"

"That's right. The Thunder Fruit can't be touched directly, and it's inconvenient for Your Majesty to wear gloves or anything like that, so using a net bag is the best option."

Xiao Yun nodded and hung the net on the Crow King's claws.

"Okay, it won't affect your flight. Go and bring back the Thunder Fruit."

The invincible Crow King nodded, flapped his wings, and flew away.

"As expected of you, Brother Yun, you've made a fortune quietly!"

Zhong Mo gave a thumbs up, and Xiao Yun smiled and said:

"Your Majesty will take a while to fly to your destination, so let's move forward."

The others nodded and continued clearing the way.

A while later, Xiao Yun received a message from the King.

It's in place.

After saying something to the others, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and silently recited in his heart:

"Shared vision".

The next second, Xiao Yun opened his eyes and observed the world from a strange perspective.

"Unfortunately, there was fog over the forest after the storm, making it difficult to see the surroundings..."

Having temporarily abandoned his plan to refine the map, Xiao Yun focused his attention on the present moment.

On the vast, misty lake, an object shimmering with blue and white light stood out conspicuously.

"This is it!"

Xiao Yun locked onto the target and commanded the Great Dynasty to fly towards it with the Thunder Fruit.

The next move was child's play for the exceptionally intelligent King.

Like a harpy eagle catching fish, the king lowered his net beforehand and leaped over the Thunder Fruit as he passed beneath it.

slam-la-

Water splashed onto the lake surface, and looking down, most of the Thunder Fruits were already in his possession.

"This fruit is quite heavy..."

Upon receiving the message from the Great King, Xiao Yun frowned.

"Come back first, give me half, then come back for the rest."

"Croak!"

King Crow turned his head, preparing to return to Xiao Yun's side.

But at that moment, a cacophony of shouts suddenly erupted from the shore not far away.

"Look! There's something glowing on the lake!"

Xiao Yun looked up at the sound and met a pair of astonished eyes.

"This...this crow scooped up the glowing thing!"

"Damn it, that crow is clutching a net on its leg! Someone must have been behind it!"

The crowd was both shocked and furious, and some people took out composite bows, intending to shoot the king down.

But the invincible crow king was agile; with a somersault, he disappeared into the white mist.

"Damn it! That bird got away!"

"What do we do? Look what that bird took—almost half of it! Damn it, someone snatched this treasure right under our noses!"

Everyone looked at Qi Xiaoran with anger on their faces.

"Minister Qi, what should we do?"

Qi Xiaoran remained silent, his face grim.

He knew that thunderstorms would be followed by thunder fruits, otherwise he wouldn't have brought the main force of the student council here.

However, he hadn't expected that a crow would steal what was about to be his.

At the back of the line, someone leaned close to Qin Zhou and whispered:

"Brother Qin, that crow just now looked so much like the one you sold before..."

"How could that be? All crows are black; you must have seen wrong!"

Qin Zhou categorically denied it, but his expression was somewhat complicated.

"No way..."
