Huilin was one of the first players to enter "Your Ran Tian Ju". He and his comrades entered the game at the request of Adjutant Tang.
At first, none of them cared about this new small game with only 500 players, but later it was proved that the decision of the superiors was completely correct. Little did they know how many people in the military were crying and waiting for the next round of game quotas.
All in all, after the initial unfamiliarity, Huilin decided to add it to his game. Moreover, this game could effectively alleviate their gene collapse syndrome. Huilin personally thought that the therapeutic effect of "Your Farm" was better than those large holographic games, but before the specific calculation results came out, he couldn't say it out loud, so as not to bring bad reputation to the game and its makers.
Let’s get back to this day.
The night before, he followed the group to the mine and witnessed the birth of three pets, the mine elf, the little white rabbit, and the last little deer. The first one was a fictional creature in the game, but the last two were solid, real animals.
According to his observation, these three pets have one thing in common, that is, they are cute and friendly. After being adopted by their owners, they will have more pet skills, either to improve the success rate of mining or to increase the harvest rate of the player's land.
In this farming-based game, these skills are undoubtedly very useful.
Huilin was immediately attracted to the idea. It wasn't because he liked those cute furry animals, but because he also wanted to have a pet of his own.
On the way back to the village from the mine last night, a large group of them discussed and summarized several experiences in catching pets:
1. The small animals in the forest can be captured, and there is a certain chance that they will become the player's pets.
2. Special places (for example: mines) are likely to have special pets that can be captured, but luck plays a big role in catching special pets. (For example: Broken Cocoon and his pet "Ore Elf")
3. Capturing pets requires a lot of player-made tools.
The more players discussed, the more excited they became. The more excited they became, the more they wanted to catch their own pets. Grayscale was fantasizing about what kind of pet he would have. Would it be another Pokémon like the "Ore Pokémon"? Or the animals that could be found in the forest?
According to Modupi, there are many kinds of animals in the forest. They have seen pheasants, wild ducks, rabbits, marmots, goats, deer, snakes, etc. The area of the forest is very large after an upgrade. The place they went to is only a small part of the forest. Maybe there are different animals waiting for players to discover in other places.
Compared to soft and cute little white rabbits and deer, Huilin prefers those majestic and domineering animals, such as tigers, lions, wolves, bears, etc. These are his first choice of pets.
I just don't know if there are such ferocious beasts in the forest.
He planned to go deeper into the forest and have a thorough search.
After a night, he came online again. He first bought enough hunting tools from the players who set up stalls at the entrance of the village, and then bought some food with strength bonuses. Then he headed towards the forest in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
He did not choose to call his companions, but planned to go alone. He was embarrassed to waste other people's time when he was not sure whether he could find large animals. Besides, Huilin was confident that he could handle those animals by himself.
On the way there, he would often see dejected people walking by, and if they had companions, they would not stop complaining all the way.
"What kind of hidden mechanism is this pet gameplay? Why can't we catch any rabbits and pheasants that can be harvested as pets? Isn't this too difficult?"
"That's right, the animals they caught were not as many as ours, and they even had two pets. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others!"
"Is it because we used too much force that the animals we caught were either injured and bleeding or had broken bones, so the system determined that they could only be prey? I saw that their rabbits and deer were still quite healthy. At least they could stand up and walk on their own..."
"Hmm...what you said makes sense. How about we go back and replenish our tools first, and then go on another trip later?"
"That's fine. We've wasted so much time today anyway. But hunting small animals is also a physical job. Even if we find their nests, we'll have to start all over again the next time the game is refreshed. There won't be repeated animals in the same place. I don't know what the game maker is thinking. He's just going to make things difficult for us!"
"Haha! I think you're just talking. If those animals only spawn in one place and wait for us to catch them, you'll start complaining that the game has no novelty..."
"...Damn it, do you understand the principle of seeing the truth but not speaking it out?"
This group of five people were all male players, and their voices were louder than each other. Huilin accidentally heard everything and got new information from their words.
The chance of small animals in the forest becoming pets is not high, and there may be some points that players have not discovered yet. After the animals are captured, new small animals will be refreshed in the forest at intervals, but the places where they originally stayed, such as their homes and caves, will also be refreshed and disappear. If you want to find the refreshed animals, you have to spend time looking for them again. If you want to have a higher chance of getting a pet, it is best not to hurt them. Of course, you can only do your best in this regard.
After all, the animals that he wanted to catch were much larger than those little rabbits.
Gray Scale encouraged himself in his heart and took more determined steps towards the forest.
The forest is particularly lively today, with people everywhere. The resource points that were previously fought over by many gathering players have not received any attention today and have been completely ignored.
Huilin stood stunned for a few seconds at the entrance of the forest, watching several burly men chasing after a white rabbit with wooden bows and slingshots in their hands. However, they did not attack the rabbit. Instead, they kept saying something. Words like "little rabbit", "baby rabbit", "little cutie", "wait a minute, daddy" and so on popped out of their mouths one by one. If you didn't know, you would think that the rabbit was putting a spell on them.
Maybe the rabbit was afraid of encountering a pervert, so it didn't stop, but used all four legs to run faster, and disappeared at a corner. The burly men were left standing where the rabbit disappeared, with blank expressions on their faces. Their beards showed deep disappointment and grievance, which was weirdly cute.
Gray Scale covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from laughing, and walked past them quickly with his head down.
Hahaha, no, it's just catching a rabbit, why is it so funny, it takes all kinds of tricks! The rabbit obviously can't understand human language, but these people are still chasing after it and shouting, what are they thinking!
Once he finds the large animal, he must never do such a thing!
Huilin walked and stopped along the way, and there were fewer and fewer players around him. The mine deep in the forest seemed to be a dividing line. After the mine, it would be difficult for him to meet anyone again.
As we walked further, the trees nearby became denser and denser. We could see a tree every four or five steps. The soil was covered with a thick layer of humus, which gave off a strange smell. The light in the depths of the forest was also much darker. The fat leaves blocked most of the sunlight. The surroundings were eerily quiet, but it gave people the illusion that something was watching them in the dark.
Although Huilin has always been brave, he also felt a slight sense of crisis at this moment.
But he soon came to his senses and guessed that this should be the atmosphere deliberately created by the game maker. He secretly sighed that the other party really had a pair of magical hands, and then continued to move forward step by step.
To his disappointment, the largest animal he encountered along the way was a male goat. It had a pair of curved and sharp horns on its head, but it was leisurely nibbling on the tender green grass under a tree. This did not meet Gray Scale's expectations for his pet at all, so he let it go.
After he left the goat, he didn't encounter any animals for a full half hour.
Huilin's mood index slowly dropped after each disappointment. He had a bad feeling. Was he going to return empty-handed today? ?
He wandered aimlessly through the woods, giving up all hope of finding any large animal.
But at this moment, he heard a rustling sound coming from not far away.
Flowers, plants, and trees can't walk, and the only things that can make noises are some kind of animals. Gray Scale's eyes lit up, and he quickly groped in the direction of the sound.
After walking about 20 meters, the front suddenly opened up. Several trees that had been growing well were broken in half, leaving only five stumps. Surrounded by these stumps was a short cave. An animal with dark fur and a strange smell was facing away from Gray Scale, rubbing its head in the corner outside the cave.
The look that Huilin gave that figure could almost be described as scorching.
Wild boar! It's a wild boar!
He recognized the animal at first sight and was fascinated by its height of more than one meter and weight of more than 100 kilograms! Although wild boars don't sound as powerful as tigers and lions, they are much better than those weak little animals!
With constant disappointment, Huilin's expectations had dropped to a very low level. If there were no tigers or lions, a wild boar would be good too! It would be so cool to take such a big wild boar out!
He immediately decided to capture the big wild boar, so he retreated quietly. Although the wild boar could not see him, he could observe the corner of the wild boar. After confirming that there was only this wild boar around the cave, he actively made preparations.
Are traps needed? Then dig eight or ten around to completely block the wild boar's escape route.
The wooden bow and arrow were too fragile for the wild boar's hard and thick skin, and might not even be able to penetrate it. Gray Scale rummaged through his pile of farm tools and finally took out a long hoe, deciding to use it as the main weapon to attack the wild boar.
Then, he chuckled and solemnly took out a plant, which was the size of his palm and dark in color, and was called "paralysis grass". There was a light yellow flower on the top of it, and the petals were not thin like other flowers, but thick and juicy, as if the juice would gush out as long as you pinch it with your fingernails.
He bought this plant from a female player who had three shallow scratches on each cheek. The seller said that this plant has a paralyzing effect on animals. As long as its juice enters the body of an animal, no matter how big it is, it will be paralyzed in a few breaths...
After making the best preparations, the hunting time has finally arrived!
Gray Scale jumped out from his hiding place, attracting the attention of the big wild boar. He then used his rich experience to fight with the wild boar. The hoe in his hand was wielded vigorously, and the tip of the hoe stained with plant juice kept hitting the wild boar's face and mouth. The guerrilla attack method easily touched the wild boar's sensitive nerves.
"Howl!" The wild boar was completely enraged by the harassment and glared fiercely at the human who suddenly broke in. Its hind legs began to dig the soil backwards, breathing heavily, and it was ready to charge.
Gray Scale had sharp eyes and when he saw its movement, he said to himself, "Here it comes," and began to retreat without leaving a trace. Not far behind him was a large pit dug specifically for wild boars. There were several traps in the pit to ensure that the wild boar would not be able to get out in a short time after falling into it.
The wild boar was so angry that it rushed towards Huilin without hesitation. As it got closer and closer to Huilin, a ferocious expression appeared on its face. When the man and the pig were about to collide, Huilin turned flexibly, jumped back, crossed the huge pit, and ran a few steps away before stopping.
Behind me came the dull sound of something heavy falling to the ground and the howling of a wild boar.
He succeeded! Huilin jumped three feet high with joy on his face.
Soon, he would have the biggest pet in the entire game!
