"Alright, don't forget your things," she said, as if she were more than willing to be their teacher.

The two of them grabbed the gifts from the kang (a heated brick bed), and ran off without even taking off their shoes, their heels still showing. Qian Xiao shook his head helplessly.

Shuangdan appeared beside Qian Xiao: "Host, do you think these two are idiots? How come they can't even learn something so simple?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You still don't like it, otherwise you wouldn't be doing so poorly in your studies. Everyone has different ideas, and we can't expect everyone to live according to our own ideas."

"You're right."

"Oh, Sun Kaicheng is back."

Qian Xiao sat up: "So fast? What are you doing here?"

Before Qian Xiao could even get out of bed, Sun Kaicheng knocked on the door and came in: "Your room is quite warm."

"That's right. Didn't you see how small my room is? The kang (heated brick bed) takes up almost the entire space. The larger the kang, the warmer the room will be. Did you really borrow it back?"

Sun Kaicheng pulled a gun from behind him: "Right, I just realized you don't know how to shoot. I'll come and teach you. Do you want to learn?"

Qian Xiao... "Who are you looking down on? I learned from my dad before school started, okay? I may not be a sharpshooter, but my aim is pretty good."

"Really? How come I didn't know that? I've never heard you mention it."

"What are you saying? You didn't even ask. But let me see if it's the same as what I learned."

Sun Kaicheng handed the gun to Qian Xiao, not worried about it going off accidentally, since there were no bullets in it at all.

Qian Xiao fiddled with it for a while, just like the one she learned, which is probably what people usually use now: "Borrowed a few?"

Sun Kaicheng raised a hand: "Impressive! If we could borrow all the hunting rifles from the nearby villages, we'd have a real chance of winning this time. Do you want to come along?"

"Together, my shooting accuracy is still pretty good."

"Will Grandma Qian let you come along?"

Qian Xiao nodded: "No problem. I often go into the mountains, and there are a lot of people this time."

"Would you like to take off your shoes and get on the kang (heated brick bed) to warm up?" Why does Sun Kaicheng seem a little reserved?

Sun Kaicheng thought for a moment, took off his shoes, and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed). The two sat facing each other across a small table. Qian Xiao suddenly remembered Qian Wangcai's matter and told Sun Kaicheng about it.

Sun Kaicheng replied, "Do you think that system escaped? Otherwise, Qian Wangcai, whom you mentioned, wouldn't have been released."

"Probably. What if that system could keep changing hosts? Wouldn't that create chaos?"

"The key is to know what the real purpose of that so-called system is."

"Does it really have the ability to absorb people's luck?" It feels too fantastical.

Her situation was different from Sun Kaicheng's. Both of their situations could be explained by science, but that system seemed to lean more towards metaphysics, making it difficult to understand.

Sun Kaicheng rubbed Qian Xiao's head: "Alright, stop thinking about it. This isn't something we can worry about. Since the higher-ups have already discovered it, they'll find a way to catch him."

Sun Kaicheng was absolutely right. That so-called system really couldn't break away from its host and find another one. It was now trapped inside Shao Yifang's body.

Saying it's a self-destruction is just a threat to prevent Shao Yifang from revealing it. How could a system that's not so serious possibly sacrifice itself to destroy everything?

They've been forced to bring out all sorts of things lately, as researchers want to test the system's functions. However, these are secrets that Sun Kaicheng and Qian Xiaoneng don't know.

The two of them were just discussing it; they were genuinely worried, but not overly nervous, since there were countless people smarter than them.

The next day, all the able-bodied men in the village came out to prepare. Some stayed down the mountain to guard against the wild boars scattering and running away, and then taking advantage of the chaos to go down the mountain and wreak havoc on the villagers.

Some skilled hunters followed along up the mountain. Sun Kaicheng tried to get one of them and Erdan each a gun, since not everyone has the opportunity to learn how to use a gun, and it would be good to let someone with poor aim use a gun.

It would be better if the two of them did it. At least they can guarantee that every shot hits the prey, and they can also prevent those who are not very familiar with guns from making mistakes in the chaos and hurting their own people.

Including the few guns in the village, they brought a total of fifteen guns up the mountain this time, which can be considered a large-scale hunting operation.

Sun Kaicheng stayed by Qian Xiao's side. After they both learned each other's secrets, they would often practice sparring with each other in the virtual space, laying a foundation for any potential real-world battles they might encounter in the future.

Feeling they were almost there, Qian Xiao raised his hand to signal everyone to stop: "It's not far ahead. Sun Kaicheng and I will hide in the nearby trees first. We have guns that can attack from a distance."

Uncle Xiong, the old hunter in the village, began to direct the subsequent battle. Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng only needed to find a good hiding place and use the gun to help everyone escape.

Uncle Xiong is also a member of the Qian family, and his name is Qian Xiong. Logically speaking, the children of Qian Xiao's generation should call him Grandpa, but everyone calls him that, so it's become a habit.

With the help of his two eggs to scout the situation ahead, and Sun Kaicheng's mental energy to investigate, the two of them worked together for a while and found the best hiding place. With their skills, climbing a tree was no big deal.

After the two men hid and exchanged a hand signal, they waited for the order from below. Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng's hand signal had also indicated the exact location of the prey ahead to the men.

Once everyone was ready, Qian Xiao aimed with one hand and started counting down with the other. When Qian Xiao lowered his last finger, he and Sun Kaicheng fired their guns simultaneously, and the bullets went straight into the heads of the two largest wild boars.

Before the wild boar herd could react, the two men's second guns had already hit their target.

Well, this was like pouring cold water into a hot oil pan; instantly, all the wild boars panicked and started running around in a frenzy.

The sound of gunfire rose and fell, and whenever one of the guns managed to escape, it would be surrounded and attacked by those hiding all around.

Qian Xiao felt like he was in a gunfight movie, and for a moment he was a little excited, with an excited expression on his face. However, he held the gun in his hand even more steadily, because he couldn't afford to accidentally hit friendly forces.

There were only so many bullets, and they were obtained through favors. Qian Xiao didn't dare to waste them, so he could only try to take down a wild boar with each gun. Even if he couldn't kill it outright, he had to seriously injure it.

When people are excited, time seems to fly by. Seeing that he was out of bullets, Qian Xiao didn't wait on the tree. He quickly slid down, took out the machete from his waist, and joined the melee.
