Remembering that the cooldown for the "Fighting for the Best" title had refreshed, Zhang Shi carefully considered the matter and decided to upgrade the small generator.
Firstly, an extreme heat disaster is imminent, and many pieces of furniture in the villa, including the central air conditioning, will require electricity. Secondly, be careful, as generators are rare items and their upgrade value is not low.
Having made his decision, Zhang Shi went to the tool shed, put on the title, and with a thought, a pink light enveloped the generator.
A moment later, the small generator disappeared, replaced by a large machine three or four times larger than before.
Zhang Shi began to examine its information.
[Large Generator (Powder) x1: A generator made with special technology in the Wilderness World. It can convert various types of energy into electrical energy with an extremely high conversion rate, and it is noiseless and pollution-free.]
Along with the generator, there were two large solar panels, which Zhang Shi mounted on the roof of the villa using the territory control module. From then on, Zhang Shi no longer needed to add fuel to the generator every day, saving him a lot of trouble.
After finishing his work at the shelter, Zhang Shi decided to explore the area around the shelter before the natural disaster officially arrived.
In the wild, the snow has completely melted, many trees have sprouted branches and leaves in just one day, and many flowers and grasses have sprouted tender buds on the ground, creating a thriving scene everywhere.
Since the snowmobile was no longer usable, Zhang Shi took out his bicycle and first checked the mining machine. After finding nothing wrong, he took Pipi and drove around the foot of the mine.
Pipi was so bored staying at home all day that he was finally free. He put his paws on the bicycle basket and barked excitedly.
Zhang Shi walked through the forest at the foot of the mountain. The dense bushes blocked the scorching sun, and the forest was filled with the fresh fragrance of grass and trees.
Zhang Shi was in a good mood, so he slowed down, relaxed, appreciated the natural beauty, and cherished this brief moment of peace.
"Woof woof woof!"
Pipi's cries became more urgent, and Zhang Shi immediately stopped the car, took out his compound bow, and became alert.
"Hmph hmph hmph."
A huge wild boar emerged from the woods, weighing at least 600 to 700 pounds. Its body was covered in mud, indicating it had thick, tough skin.
Zhang Shi used a oscilloscope to authenticate it.
"Ding! Identification at a glance: Wild boar."
[Wild Boar (Blue): Robust build, strong attack power, firm meat, low fat content, and high nutritional value.]
Seeing that the wild boar was just a high-quality beast, Zhang Shi didn't even bother to check its specific attributes. He was already considering whether to braise or stir-fry it after he caught it.
The wild boar also saw Zhang Shi, but it did not retreat. Instead, it stayed in place, grunting and whining, as if it were showing off to Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi was not going to tolerate its bad habit, so he raised his composite bow and unleashed a triple strike.
Before the wild boar could react, it was pierced by the arrow. The triple strike effect was triggered, and two arrow phantoms blasted a large hole in its body.
Even though the wild boar had thick skin and tough flesh, it was no match for Zhang Shi. This was only because Zhang Shi held back his strength to avoid frying it to pieces and wasting the meat.
The wild boar collapsed to the ground, motionless. Zhang Shi stepped forward and happily accepted all the experience and items it dropped.
System notification: Congratulations on obtaining:
200 experience points (triggered talent - Scholar)
Wild boar meat (blue) 200kg x 1
Zhang Shi accepted 200 kilograms of wild boar meat and was extremely satisfied with the trip.
"Woof woof!"
Pipi's cries came from the bushes. Zhang Shi thought there was more to the story, so he picked up his compound bow, followed the sound of Pipi's cries, parted the grass and trees, and looked inside.
At first glance, three small wild boars with fur patterns resembling chipmunks were charging aggressively towards Pipi. Pipi, being intelligent, knew these little creatures might be useful to Zhang Shi, so instead of harming them, it led the three piglets in circles.
When Zhang Shi saw the three piglets, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Little piglets, don't be afraid, Uncle will take you to a fun place."
Zhang Shi took out a cloth bag, put the three piglets inside, and carried it on his back, preparing to leave.
Suddenly, Pipi ran to Zhang Shi's side and bit his trouser leg, indicating to Zhang Shi that it had found more.
Curious, Zhang Shi followed Pipi forward. Before they had gone ten meters, they saw a brightly lit treasure chest gleaming in the sunlight.
This is an exquisite treasure chest. Zhang Shi grinned and squatted down to touch Pipi.
"Good job, I'll give you extra food when you get home tonight."
Pipi was praised and excitedly barked, then circled around Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi broke off a tree branch and carefully tapped the grass next to the treasure chest. To his surprise, he actually found something.
A small, bright green snake was swept aside by a stick.
Zhang Shi frowned, thankful that he had been cautious; otherwise, he might have fallen into the same trap again.
After beating the snake to death with sticks, Zhang Shi suddenly discovered that the green snake had no tail and had a triangular head at both ends.
"Has it mutated?"
Zhang Shi swept the snake corpse aside, rubbed his hands together, and hoped that the treasure chest would give him something of value.
Ding! Successfully opened the exquisite treasure chest (green), triggering VIP privileges. Items doubled. Obtained:
【Refined Flour (Green) 25kg x 2: Refined wheat flour, without any additives. Consuming a certain amount of food made from it will permanently increase all attributes.】
【Discerning Essence (Green) x2: Can be fused with any appraisal skill, item, or equipment to significantly enhance the appraisal effect level.】
Zhang Shi was very satisfied with the spoils from opening the treasure chest and immediately and impatiently merged the two spirits with Dingzhen.
"I've been feeling like this stuff isn't enough. Now that I've gotten two spirit essences, it'll be a good time to upgrade his level."
The two essences seeped into Dingzhen like liquid, and then there was no more movement.
Zhang Shi suspiciously examined the properties of the solidified object, and sure enough, there was a change.
【True Insight (Green): A product of an unknown technological civilization, capable of identifying all things, seeing through illusions, and confronting the truth.】
"It looks like I've leveled up a whole class. I should be able to see the specific attributes when I encounter those exquisite monsters in the future."
Zhang Shi smiled slightly, packed the two bags of flour into his backpack, and hummed a song as he headed back to the shelter.
On the way back, they passed a small river, and Zhang Shi, looking at the fish and shrimp swimming in the river, had an idea.
“These are all precious resources. If an extreme heat disaster were to strike, the entire river might dry up, and all the fish and shrimp in it would be wasted.”
Zhang Shi made up his mind that he had to take advantage of the early hour to quickly get some fishing and hunting tools, because once this opportunity was missed, it would be gone forever.
After storing his catch at home, Zhang Shi bought two gillnets at the market. He then asked Zhao Feng about how to use them and the precautions before casting the gillnets in a stretch of water behind the shelter. Once the nets were secured, he waited for a while before harvesting the fish.
"This river is rich in aquatic products, so it shouldn't be a short-selling threat."
With these thoughts in mind, Zhang Shi returned to the shelter, temporarily placed the three piglets in the warehouse, and then collapsed onto the bed to rest.
