Chapter 71



For the first time, Bai Li witnessed the fighting power of the interstellar people.

The four men were seen holding handy tools and moving flexibly between the trees. If necessary, they would exert force on their feet and climb up the branches of the trees with a jump, just to better aim at the prey they had set their eyes on.

They were light and nimble, and when it came to the need to take action, they would do it without hesitation. Their ruthless and decisive attack style, the feeling of hitting the flesh with every punch, made Bai Li couldn't help but feel sympathy for the small animals that had the misfortune of bumping into them. Their enemies were so powerful!

Pheasants, wild ducks, deer, goats, and even snakes, as long as they appear within their field of vision, cannot escape the repeated pursuit and finally become prey in the backpack.

Bai Li was among the four people holding a slingshot. Although he was a master of accurate shooting, he was made to look inconspicuous. It wasn't that he didn't work hard enough, it was that the others were also super good!

The hunting, which lasted for an afternoon, ended with the wooden bow breaking, the slingshot shattering, and the traps all falling apart. As for the harvest, it can be said that it was a full load. Not only did they catch a lot of the animals mentioned above, Yunyi even found several nests of wild duck eggs in a shallow area with lush water grass. There were at least twenty eggs in total, and everyone could get four or five!

"Hahaha! It's so cool, so cool! Hunting is so fun, I will try it again if I have the chance!" Yue Xun really loves this activity of competing wits and courage with small animals, and is also looking forward to seeing these animals being cooked into dishes and served on the table.

"That's right, it's fun, but we can't get addicted to hunting, we still have a lot of things to do." March was calmer. "If we use this afternoon to collect, each of us can collect at least 10 flower seeds. If we are lucky, we may even collect rare tree species. This way, the mission can be completed faster and more smoothly. It's a pity that the whole afternoon is spent on hunting."

"Oh, please don't say that." Yunyi rushed over and hugged Sanyue's shoulders. "We are playing games, not being played by the game. Of course, we should focus on what we are interested in. Don't you think that we had a lot of fun this afternoon, Sanyue?"

"I am indeed very happy..." March was successfully convinced.

However, everyone also knows that things have their priorities. After having fun for an afternoon, we have to work harder to complete the tasks and earn contribution points.

The sky gradually darkened, and it seemed that it was time for the small animals in the forest to rest. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and only a few insects could be heard faintly. I don’t know when it started, but a few fireflies appeared in the sky, the light that flickered on and off, covering the forest with a mysterious color.

The glow became more and more numerous, gradually forming a bright band of light, just like the Milky Way in the sky, which was indeed within reach.

Seeing this scene for the first time, the players were stunned again. They didn't expect that the already beautiful forest would become even more beautiful after an update. They didn't know how many refreshing ideas the game makers had in mind.

Although everyone thought it was beautiful, they didn't know what it was, so they looked at Bai Li with curiosity. They thought that with the omniscience of Li Bai, he must know what this light strip was.

"It's a firefly," Bai Li explained, "a small insect that glows at night."

"Oh, so they are Zerg." After hearing that it was a bug, several people lost interest. They touched their bellies and muttered quietly, "I didn't expect there would be such a small Zerg in the world. They look quite weak. If the Zerg knew about it, they would probably expel them from the Zerg clan on the spot."

When it comes to defeated opponents, Touch Belly is always accustomed to assuming the greatest malice towards them.

Bai Li tried hard to hold back his laughter. The people before him mistook fireflies for Zerg, and some time ago Yaoxing also mistook ants for Zerg. However, these insects were obviously the most common creatures in this game.

After hunting, the prey needed to be distributed again. The wild duck eggs were distributed equally, and the extra eggs were given to Sanyue and Yuexun, who made tools. There were exactly five pheasants and wild ducks, so each person got one. As for the fawn and goat, there were only two each, and they were too big, so the few people didn't know what to do with them. After discussion, they decided to sell them at the night market, and the money would be divided equally among the five people.

If someone wants to buy the whole thing, then everyone is happy. It's also OK to sell it separately, but it will be a little bloody. As for those snakes... no one likes them, so just give them away as a gift.

After deciding the destination of the prey, they headed back towards the village.

After an afternoon of hunting, they had unknowingly entered the depths of the forest. Now the way back seemed so long and took so long. When they finally got out of the forest, the evening market for players at the entrance of the village had already passed its busiest time.

But it doesn’t matter. He touched his belly, chuckled, and said he had a way.

He took out the two living fawns that were in his backpack. They were stunned at first, and a little scared when they saw their bellies being touched, but that emotion soon disappeared, and they blinked their big, cherubic eyes and looked around curiously, not worrying at all about their future life or death.

"Hey, this little deer is quite brave. It just got beaten up by us, and now it acts like a normal deer." Yun Yi raised her hand and touched the head of one of them, receiving a gentle rub in return.

Her hands froze. Oh no! It was the feeling of heartbeat.

This deer... this deer is actually quite cute!

However, before she could say anything else, the evening market arrived. The two deer they brought were quickly noticed by the players who were shopping.

Such a big animal, with a strange and cute appearance, beautiful patterns on its short fur, and a short tail on its butt, swaying back and forth excitedly. This was the first time a small animal appeared in the game, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention. The curious players surrounded Bai Li and his group, and were first surprised that Li Bai was among them, and then they all started discussing the two deer.

"Is this a deer? I've seen it in the animal encyclopedia on StarNet, but I didn't expect it to be in the game! Brother, where did you get it from?"

"Wow! It just licked my hand with its tongue. It's so cute and its eyes are so big. It's so beautiful!"

"Let's not waste any more time talking. Brother, you brought them to the evening market, you must want to sell them, right? Tell me how much, I want to buy one first!"

"No, no, there are only two deer. There must be many people who want to buy them. Let's compete fairly!"

Both male and female players were attracted by these two little deer. They even opened their wallets before they decided what to do with them.

The guys who were touching their bellies had no idea that the little deer would be so popular. They were surprised for a moment, and then, under everyone's urging, they reported the amount they had agreed on.

"A fawn costs 5,000 copper coins. We also have some dead goats here, 3,000 copper coins each. We also have a few snakes. If you need them, you can take them for 200 each." Modu was cautious and did not say that the goats and fawns could be sold by the kilogram. He thought that in case no one wanted to buy them, there was no rush to sell them by the kilogram.

The situation now is that, not to mention buying by the kilogram, there are plenty of people who want to buy it as a whole.

Before long, the two deer, two lambs, and a few snakes were all snapped up by the wealthy players. Those who didn't get any stopped Bai Li and his group from leaving, asking them if they had any other goods.

That’s true.

He then took out a pheasant, a wild duck, a rabbit, and three wild duck eggs from his backpack and sold them very smoothly. Because these were the prey assigned to him, the money earned naturally belonged to him.

The other few people did not think of selling the prey in their backpacks. They persuaded the players who had not yet bought enough to quit, and then hid in the corner to divide the money obtained from selling the prey.

Looking at the 34 gold coins that were distributed to him, Bai Li was filled with mixed emotions. He had only wanted to join in the fun, but he had not expected to earn so much money. It was... quite unexpected.

He now somewhat understood why Yaoxing would post every time he made a big profit on Xingbo to record (xuan) it.

As a big deal came to an end, fewer players stayed in the evening market. But at this moment, a man came running from the direction of the forest, shouting: "Oh no, oh no, something happened in the mine! It seems like a monster has spawned!"

Suddenly excited player: Huh???

Bai Li was puzzled: Eh???

There are monsters in the mine? How come he doesn't know!
