Chapter 7

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

His spiritual power returned to 5 points and the sequelae of the soul cutting had healed. In addition, his body had been in a deep sleep while playing games during the day.

Ning Shi, who had returned to the real world, was not sleepy at all.

He simply ordered a spicy crayfish takeaway. While eating supper, he watched variety shows.

Not to mention, iQiyi’s self-made variety show, the “Annual Comedy Competition”, was not bad. It was full of jokes.

Ning Shi watched four episodes in one go until 4 a.m. His body was still not sleepy but he felt mentally tired.

He took a shower and lay on the bed, falling asleep in a daze.

When he slept until 8 am, his working biological clock woke Ning Shi up.

He went downstairs and ate more than a dozen fried buns. When Ning Shi returned home, he cancelled the automatic synchronization at 10 a.m. every day.

[Avatar meditates for 10 hours, spiritual power +1.]

After meditating for 10 hours last night, he could only increase his spiritual power by one point. He estimated that the amount of time needed to increase his spiritual power by one point would be longer and longer in the future

He directly pressed the synchronization button manually.

In an instant, his main body’s physique also reached 10 points. The change that happened to his avatar last night had happened to his main body again today.

Ning Shi was extremely excited. Last night was, after all, in the game. It was an illusion, but today was in real life.

Opening the game panel, Ning Shi saw his current attributes.

Game Avatar: Ning Shi

Physique: 10 (ordinary human limit)

Spiritual Power: 6 (slightly intelligent)

Appearance: 6 (quite handsome)

Family Background: 5 (normal)

Bloodline: Ordinary human

Profession: Hunter

Skills: Archery skill Level 2, trap making Level 1, forest running Level 1.

Talent: Learning (white)

Achievements: None

The game system was very intelligent. After Ning Shi resigned, the programmer profession disappeared and the related skills were no longer listed.

Ning Shi raised the sofa in the room, feeling his powerful strength.

“I need to hurry up and enter the game to complete the mission. I still want to become stronger!”

Ning Shi entered the game from his first perspective and found that his avatar was already shooting at monkeys with a bow and arrow on the mountain, but the hit rate was not high.

The arrow was bought by the avatar at the blacksmith’s shop. It had an iron arrowhead. As long as it could hit, the damage was very high.

Unfortunately, the monkeys were very agile. They jumped around and it was very difficult to hit them.

Considering the upcoming mission, Ning Shi directly added the remaining two skill points to his archery skill.

His archery skill instantly rose to Level 3. According to the system notification, Level 3 archery skill was the highest level for the hunter profession.

After another burst of enlightenment, Ning Shi drew his bow to shoot. An iron arrow directly pierced through the monkey jumping around on the tree branch.

Level 3 archery skill was the pinnacle of archery for ordinary humans. Against a group of jumping monkeys, Ning Shi was still able to hit every target.

With Ning Shi’s 10 points of physique, in just one morning, he had killed 100 monkeys. He went deep into the forest where the monkeys lived and successfully collected a large vat of monkey wine.

Ning Shi planned to return to the village to hand in his mission.

He found Village Chief Grimm and gave him the vat of monkey wine.

The village chief looked at Ning Shi with a kind expression. “Young man, you’re very good. Do your best. I have high hopes for you!”

The village chief’s words were somewhat inexplicable.

[Completed mission “Village Chief’s Thirst”, experience points +200, Lena’s intimacy +5, current character’s intimacy: 81.]

Ning Shi was dumbfounded. Village Chief, are you selling your daughter? Completing your mission and the reward is to increase intimacy with your daughter Lena?

Game world version of “Dealing with the Parents”?

Ning Shi was speechless as he found the guard. Fortunately, the guard’s mission reward had calmed his nerves.

[Completed mission “Guard’s Request”, experience points +200, obtained a forest longbow.]

[Forest longbow: Legendary longbow made by a forest elf. Under its light exterior, it conceals an astonishing power. Special effect: Swift, powerful.]

An exquisite longbow appeared in Ning Shi’s hand. The body of the bow was wrapped with unknown vines. The bowstring was as thin as a strand of hair as if it would break if one exerted force.

The longbow in his hand was as light as if it was nothing. He pulled the bow to its full length without any effort, making it look ordinary. However, with the two special effects of swift and powerful, the effect of this longbow was very overbearing.

Ning Shi tried it out. Using the forest longbow, the speed of his bow and arrow shot was doubled, and the strength of the shot was also doubled. After the strength was increased, the effective range was also increased, reaching 200 meters.

With the forest longbow and armor-piercing arrow, Ning Shi was confident that he could kill the tiger on the mountain.

After having a meal in the tavern and recovering his strength, Ning Shi bought some potions and arrows and entered the forest again.

According to the map’s instructions, he first found the gathering place of the goats and killed 20 goats to warm up.

Then he walked to the top of the mountain. The tiger was the king of the forest and lived in the cave on the top of the mountain.

“Roar!”

A few hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, Ning Shi heard the sound of a tiger roaring in the forest. As expected of a top-notch hunter with an imperial engine. With a roar, leaves flew in all directions and all beasts fled.

The timid squirrel hid in the tree and shivered. Ning Shi also felt a little flustered. This was the suppression of his bloodline.

After taking a few more steps, a huge tiger appeared in Ning Shi’s field of vision.

Its muscles bulged, and its eyes were cold and bloodthirsty. It gave off an invisible murderous aura. When it sensed Ning Shi, the tiger stood up.

This was not a tiger that was kept in captivity in the zoo in real life, but a top-notch hunter who had conquered a mountain forest through killing.

Ning Shi did not dare to be careless. He took out an armor-piercing arrow and put it on the bow. He held it in his mouth but did not fire.

If he shot the arrow in such a daze, the tiger would definitely dodge it. He had to create an opportunity.

Ning Shi deliberately turned his back and pretended to run away. The tiger was indeed fooled and pounced down.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

The tiger was in mid-air and there was no room for it to turn around.

Ning Shi suddenly turned around and shot an arrow quickly. Without waiting for the result of the first arrow, another arrow was shot!

Puff! Puff!

Along with the sound of two arrows piercing through flesh and blood, the armor-piercing arrow accurately pierced into the tiger’s left and right eyes. The power of the arrow was extremely strong. With the effect of armor-piercing, it pierced deeply into the tiger’s head.

The tiger fell to the ground and struggled for a while before it died.

[Killed one tiger, experience points +100, hunter Level 6 (600/1000).]

After killing the tiger and the goats, he was short of 400 experience points before his hunter level could increase again.

Ning Shi’s face flushed with joy. This time, killing the tiger was very smooth. Not only could he complete Blacksmith Kobe’s mission, but the tiger’s fur was completely intact. If he sold it to the tailor, he could also complete the mission.

With this, the remaining three missions were all completed.

After putting the tiger’s corpse into his backpack, Ning Shi returned to Black Bear Village and handed in the missions.

[Completed mission “Blacksmith’s Hatred”, experience points + 500.]

[Completed mission “Tailor’s Long Cherished Wish”, experience points +200, obtained a cool cape. Cool cape: After equipping, appearance +2.]

[Completed mission “Tavern’s Delicacies”, experience points +200, obtained a special fruit wine recipe. Fruit wine recipe: A recipe that has been treasured by the tavern for many years and can be brewed into a bottle of particularly delicious fruit wine.]

The mission reward was very generous. Ning Shi was very happy. The cool cape only needed the system to click on the equipment. It did not have to be worn. Who would not like to become more handsome?

There was also the fruit wine recipe. With the example of the five-grain juice, Ning Shi knew that the recipe was equally effective in the real world. If it was really delicious, it would be another lucrative business.

[Hunter’s level has been upgraded to Level 7 (500/1800), skill points +1, potential points +1.]

His level had also been upgraded. This time, he had accumulated potential points and skill points.

After the tiger and the goats were sold, Ning Shi’s treasury was once again filled. He already had three gold coins in savings. He felt that he was already the richest person in the novice village.

He swaggered into the pharmacy and asked about the price of the bloodline potion.

“Beginner bloodline potion: 10 gold coins per bottle.”

“Intermediate bloodline potion: 500 gold coins per bottle.”

“Advanced bloodline potion: 6000 gold coins per bottle.”

The higher the level of the bloodline potion, the better the effect of the bloodline fusion and the higher the success rate.

Moreover, to fuse with a magical beast bloodline with great potential, one must use intermediate and advanced bloodline potions.

Seeing the price of the potions, Ning Shi retreated in defeat and the illusion of being a rich man dissipated.

“So I’m a poor person.”

Ning Shi mocked himself for a moment and prepared to go to the tavern to eat and drink to soothe his wounded heart.

Just as he walked into the tavern, he saw Lena sitting in the same seat as last night.

Behind her, there were two long and narrow scimitars crossed on her back, and beside her was a black bear that was more than two meters long.

“Ning Shi, sit here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

His intimacy level with Lena had reached 81, which meant that they were lovers. She looked at Ning Shi with love in her eyes.

“In less than a day, why do I feel that you’ve become more handsome? As expected of the man that I, Lena, have taken a fancy to!”

Lena’s straightforwardness caught Ning Shi off guard. Although it was a game, it was too real. Lena’s passion was like fire.

Ning Shi changed the topic. “You’re carrying a weapon. Are you ready to start the hunt?”

Speaking of hunting, Lena’s body leaned forward slightly and her eyes became sharp.

“That’s right. We’ll start the hunt tonight. The wind-patterned python’s characteristic is that it’s nocturnal. We can only find it at night.”

Lena took out a transparent potion and continued, “I’ve prepared the bloodline potion. We can kill the wind-patterned python on the spot. I’ll take the potion directly and fuse with its bloodline.”

Ning Shi nodded. The difficulty of killing it on the spot was much less than capturing it. This was the best plan.

Lena handed the potion to Ning Shi. “You have a piece of spatial equipment. You can help me keep the potion in case the potion is destroyed during the battle.”

Ning Shi took the potion and the system gave a notification.

[You have received an intermediate bloodline potion. After consuming it, you can fuse with the bloodline of a magical beast of an intermediate level or below.]

It was actually an intermediate bloodline potion! Lena’s background was not simple.

It could be seen that Lena already had a lot of trust in Ning Shi. She was willing to give him such a precious potion just like that. She was not afraid that Ning Shi would take the potion and leave.

Seeing Ning Shi put away the potion, Lena pointed at the black bear on the ground. “I’ll go to your place later and settle the black bear. I can’t let it run away again.”

After the discussion, Ning Shi shouted, “Uncle Henry, two steaks, one leg of mutton, two cups of fruit wine and two servings of bread.”

Seeing that Ning Shi had ordered so many dishes, Lena reminded him, “Don’t eat too much before the battle. It will affect your movements and nervous reactions.”

Lena was right, but Ning Shi was a character in the game, so he didn’t care about these details.

“It’s okay, I’m a big eater. You eat less later, I can eat more.”

Lena, “…”
