It was already around seven in the morning when I got back to my rented room.

He casually placed the two cages on the ground and immediately took out all the money he had in his pockets.

1680 yuan!

Sixteen Red Bulls: one fifty, one twenty, and one ten.

It feels thick and solid in your hand.

Looking at the money in his hand, Yang Zheng couldn't stop smiling. He counted it again and felt an unprecedented sense of joy.

To be honest, from childhood to adulthood...

This was the first time he had ever made such a large sum of money through buying and selling.

And it's only been less than a day.

Yesterday, I spent half a day in the small world and caught more than 20 wild rabbits, which I sold for more than 1,000 yuan.

In the past, I wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

He has worked at the company for several years and now only earns a little over 6,000 yuan a month. On average, he works himself to the bone for only 200 yuan a day.

Now that there's a portal between the two worlds, he can easily enter a small world, grab something, and sell it for thousands of dollars.

Isn't this a faster way to make money than going to work or doing a regular job?

Currently, he is not very familiar with anything in the small world.

Moreover, their hunting techniques are still relatively unfamiliar. If they go in a few more times, gain some experience, and then buy some useful hunting equipment to help them, then becoming rich will be just around the corner.

Suddenly, he remembered the first time he entered the small world, when he saw a large group of wild boars.

If we were to catch them all, they would probably weigh over a thousand pounds.

At a buyback price of 17 yuan per kilogram, he could earn over 10,000 yuan a day.

However, these are all small sums of money. If he were to find a town in the Lilliputian world in the future, and casually plunder it to steal some gold and silver jewelry, he could probably make a fortune.

Just thinking about it is awesome.

Sure enough, the old saying is right.

A man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grazing.

Yang Zheng sat on the bed and counted the money he had on hand; it totaled more than 1,700.

These next two days, he plans to enter the small world and catch more prey to sell.

First, I need to pay back the 3,000 yuan I borrowed from my colleague, and then I need to pay the rent.

Once these two expenses are settled, he can finally relax completely.

If it's a job, I'll definitely have to resign.

With money so easily made in this small world, who would be foolish enough to go to a regular job and earn only six thousand yuan a month?

After all, he is currently very short of money and owes more than 100,000 yuan in debt. He will go wherever money comes in quickly.

We are still far from covering the costs of my father's medical treatment.

He has to make as much money as possible.

With this in mind, he already had a plan.

Let's get through these two days first, if we can make over a thousand yuan every day.

So the day after tomorrow morning, he'll immediately go to the company to write his resignation letter and wholeheartedly enter the world of making money.

I checked the time; it was only a little past seven.

He was about to go downstairs for breakfast, and he was determined to eat a hearty meal.

After all, hunting in the small world later is a physically demanding task.

He could have opened the portal between the two worlds right now.

However, remembering that he hadn't prepared all the necessary hunting tools when he entered the small world yesterday, he decided that he had to buy everything he needed today.

I need to buy everything, like dragonfly nets and other random things.

The shops on the street outside usually open around eight o'clock.

So he had to wait for those shops to open, since all of these items were urgently needed.

Yesterday, because he didn't have a net, he watched helplessly as a pheasant flew away right under his nose.

If we encounter them again today, we will definitely not let these prey escape our grasp.

At 7:30, Yang Zheng went out for breakfast.

On the way back, I bought a net and a few mousetraps.

The main reason for buying a rat trap is to make it easier to trap prey.

Wild rabbits, pheasants, wild boars, and wild goats—once he catches them, he can put them all inside.

Inside the rented room, Yang Zheng changed his clothes again.

After completing all the equipment preparations, he took out the Tai Chi Bead and opened the portal between the two worlds.

A mirrored portal appeared out of thin air inside the rented apartment.

Yang Zheng quickly entered it...

When he opened his eyes again, he was already at the top of the hill in the small world.

It's the same place, the same location.

I looked up at the sky; it was overcast and drizzling.

The weather in the small world was bad when I came in today.

Looking around the hillside, the distant mountains and peaks were shrouded in mist, making the view somewhat blurry.

The ground around the hillside was even more damp.

Yang Zheng's feet sank into the ground, which was incredibly soft and muddy.

"Why is the weather in this little world so different from Earth's? Why is it raining out of nowhere? It's so inconvenient..."

Looking at this small world of continuous rain, Yang Zheng frowned.

The outside world remains hot and sunny, but the scene inside is completely different.

Yang Zheng stood on the damp, muddy hillside and observed the surroundings for a moment.

I noticed that, perhaps due to the weather, the little world was completely quiet.

He searched diligently for a long time.

Let alone wild rabbits, we didn't even see a single rabbit hair.

"Did I make too much noise yesterday and scare away all the wild animals in the neighborhood?"

Filled with questions, Yang Zheng carried his equipment, including a net bag and a rat trap, and trudged down the hillside, his steps uneven.

If you can catch a wild rabbit today, do so; if not, look for one in the nearby mountains and forests.

Let's see if we can run into a group of wild boars.

If he saw wild boars, he could easily catch a few and sell them for several thousand yuan.

He had spent half the day yesterday frantically beating and chasing away wild animals from the hillside where the portal was located, so there probably weren't any left.

We can only explore other places.

It has to be said that no matter where you are, running in the mountains is very unpleasant whenever it rains.

Yang Zheng walked through a forest that reached chest height and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

By this time, his clothes were almost completely soaked.

The shoes on their feet were covered in mud, making them particularly clumsy and inconvenient to move around in.

Below the hillside was a flat wasteland, covered with wild grass several centimeters high.

The wild grass is as fine as down, and it feels incredibly soft underfoot, like walking on a thick carpet. With each step, your feet sink deep into it.

Less than a hundred meters ahead is the "river" that is a few meters wide, with rolling hills on both sides.

These mountains are not high, probably not even a hundred meters high.

Everything is wet and sticky, which is really unpleasant.

On his way down the mountain, Yang Zheng broke off a tree branch. As he went, he haphazardly patted the grass around him, hoping to startle out any prey hiding there.

Unfortunately, apart from a few wild birds the size of flies that flew out, we didn't see many decent-sized animals.

This made Yang Zheng somewhat depressed.

Unbeknownst to him, he stepped onto the soft, muddy ground and arrived at the riverbank.

Behind him, a long, giant footprint was left.

Looking at the river blocking his way, which was no wider than a ditch on Earth, Yang Zheng looked up and gazed ahead.

On the opposite bank of the river, there appeared to be a valley.

Even from a distance of over a hundred meters, he could vaguely see that inside the valley was a forest of trees over two meters tall.

"How about we go across to the other side and take a look?"

Thinking of this, he immediately walked across the flowing river.

Given his enormous height in the small world, the river water barely reached his ankles, probably no more than twenty centimeters deep.

Standing in the middle of the river, Yang Zheng looked down.

In the clear river water, schools of small fish darted about.

"There are quite a lot of fish, but I don't know what kind of fish they are, or whether they are valuable."

Thinking of this, he bent down and looked at the flowing river, observing it carefully.

According to his observation, there are many fish in this river, the larger ones are seven or eight centimeters long, and the smaller ones are only two or three centimeters long.

There are also many smaller fish, about the size of a grain of rice.

Because the fish were so small, it is not yet clear what species they were.

Seeing this, Yang Zheng secretly regretted it. Next time he came in, he would definitely buy a better magnifying glass to make it easier to observe everything in the small world.

Buzz...

Suddenly, a strange buzzing sound, like the whispers of bees, entered his ears.

What was that sound?

He frowned, straightened up, and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

Finally, when he looked up at the sky, his expression changed slightly.

A tiny black dot appeared in the sky directly in front of us.

The black dot was flying at a relatively slow speed toward the left side of the sky.

"It's oval-shaped, has no wings, and doesn't look like a bird. It also makes a faint buzzing sound when it flies. What on earth is this thing?"

Yang Zheng stared wide-eyed, observing intently for a moment. Finally, the oval shape of the black dot vaguely reminded him of something very ancient—an airship.
