Chapter 002 Sensation
The audience, who had their eyes closed, heard a loud noise and knew that the battle was probably over.
Many people have already imagined the tragic scene of the anchor being pierced in the abdomen.
But... why didn’t I hear the host’s screams, but instead seemed to hear a pig squealing?
The audience opened their eyes suspiciously, but were shocked to find that the host, who they thought was seriously injured if not dead, was standing there intact, with one of his long legs raised high slowly retracting.
Under a tree about ten meters away in the direction his long legs were pointing, the wild boar fell to the ground with its body twisted, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.
Immediately afterwards, the tree behind the wild boar, which was at least half a meter in diameter, broke in half with a "crack" sound and fell to the ground with another "bang".
【!!! What just happened?】
How come the host is fine, but the wild boar fell down?
[Can't you tell?! The host kicked the wild boar and sent it flying! I think its spine was broken.]
[Not only the spine, but even the tree behind was broken by the impact of the wild boar. I guess my internal organs were shattered!]
[This kind of power is definitely something only a power-enhancing psychic can possess! ]
[Ahhhh! The anchor is so cool! I declare that from today on, the anchor is my new crush!]
Those viewers who closed their eyes and listened to other people's explanations regretted it very much, and secretly thought that they would watch the replay after the anchor finished the broadcast!
The audience was so excited and enthusiastic that they started throwing gifts.
Lu Xuan listened to the praises all over the screen and the constant reminders of gifts dropping, his expression was quite calm.
It's not just the interstellar age where plants and animals mutate.
In the third year of the apocalypse, all the plants and animals on Earth mutated, becoming extremely ferocious and preyed on humans.
The animals here are just ordinary animals, and compared with the mutant beasts, they can even be described as small and cute.
Lu Xuan walked over to check on the wild boar. When he found out it was a sow, he had an idea and walked around nearby. As expected, he found two half-sized pigs.
Before the audience in the live broadcast room could react, two half-grown wild boars also fell to the ground.
When Lu Xuan went over and picked up the wild boars, they discovered that the eyes and back of the heads of the two half-grown wild boars had been pierced.
It was obvious that Lu Xuan had fired another stone, instantly shattering the wild boar's brain and killing it.
The audience secretly sighed and couldn't help but feel pity for the wild boar that died tragically.
You know what, you really don’t know, although Lu Xuan’s fighting style is not very exciting, this simple and crude yet extremely efficient method is really amazing!
The audience who were confident in their strength and accuracy were even secretly preparing to go outside and get some stones to try to show off.
The harvest of three wild boars was not a small one. Although it was still early, Lu Xuan was ready to go home.
He found some strong vines to tie the limbs of the three wild boars tightly, then picked them up and turned around to walk away with ease.
The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.
[Holy crap! Three wild boars weigh at least 600-700 kilograms combined, and they're carrying it so easily!? Aren't they said ancient people didn't experience any genetic mutations? I'm not well-educated, so don't make fun of me!]
[The host is a power-type psychic, so of course he's different from other ancient humans.]
[That's too easy, aren't all strength-enhancing esper this impressive?]
"What are you thinking? I'm also a power user, and I can only lift 300 kilograms at most."
After seeing this comment, Lu Xuan said coldly, "Could it be because you're too bad?"
【???】
【This is heartbreaking for the anchor! 】
[The host actually told the truth! Hahaha!]
This strength certainly doesn't seem low-level. Seeing how effortlessly the host walks, six or seven hundred pounds is clearly not his limit. His ability level is at least level three, maybe even four.
A fourth-level psychic is not considered particularly high, at most average in the interstellar world.
But the problem is that Lu Xuan lived in the "ancient times" which were very backward in the eyes of the interstellar people, and the number of people with special abilities in that era should have been quite rare.
This makes the audience unable to help but start looking forward to how many surprises and interesting live broadcast content Lu Xuan will bring them in the future.
Thinking of this, the viewers who had originally come in accidentally couldn't help but click to follow, and the number of fans in the live broadcast room soared again.
-
Lu Xuan returned to Yunlu Village with a large pile of prey, which instantly caused a huge sensation.
Upon hearing the news, many villagers rushed to the Lu family to join in the fun. When they saw three wild boars lying in the open space outside the yard, they were immediately shocked.
"Oh my god! So many wild boars, were they all hunted by the Lu family boy?!"
"How much meat will this cost?"
"I never realized that Lu Xuan had this ability before!"
"He was always stupid before. Even if he had the ability, he wouldn't know how to hunt."
The villagers were talking excitedly, looking at Lu Xuan with amazement, and some of them looked down on Lu Xuan, who used to be a fool, with disbelief on their faces.
When Lu Qing heard the noise, she ran out of the house and looked at the wild boar outside the yard with eyes full of astonishment.
"Ah Xuan, these wild boars...are you really the one who hunted them all?"
Lu Xuan nodded and looked at his younger brother Lu Chen, whose eyes were shining as he followed Lu Qing. He waved to him and handed him the basket on his back. "Take it home and put it away. Also, bring the knife from home."
Lu Chen took a curious look inside and found some mushrooms on top, and underneath the mushrooms was a basket full of pheasant eggs, almost half full.
The little guy subconsciously hugged the basket tightly, looking around with vigilance, fearing that someone would steal his things, and then ran home quickly holding the basket.
Everyone else's attention was focused on the wild boar. Even if someone noticed the movement here, they didn't take it seriously. They just thought that Lu Xuan picked some wild vegetables and mushrooms while hunting.
The villagers can also pick those things, and there is no shortage of them. How can they compare to wild boar meat!
Someone in the crowd couldn't wait to shout at Lu Xuan: "Lu Xuan, what are you going to do with this wild boar?"
Other villagers also asked, "Are you going to sell it for money? Can you give us some money in exchange?"
There are also hunters in the village. Occasionally, when they catch large prey, they will share some of it with fellow villagers at a lower price. This is a common practice.
Lu Xuan used to be a fool. Even though he was already twenty years old, Lu Qing, his older sister, always had to handle everything.
Now that he has recovered, the situation is different. Lu Qing is married after all, and the Lu family has no other elders. Naturally, everyone asked Lu Xuan, the real head of the Lu family.
Lu Qing had no objection to this. She was happier than anyone else that her younger brother had made progress.
Lu Xuan had already arranged the destination of the prey and replied directly: "I will take the big and small of the three wild boars to the town to sell for money. The other slightly larger pig can be exchanged for rice, flour, grain, and eggs."
After hearing this, the villagers immediately estimated the weight of the larger piglet, estimating that it would weigh about 170 to 180 kilograms and produce about 120 kilograms of meat.
There are more than 40 households in Yunlu Village. On average, each household can exchange for three or four kilograms of meat, which is quite a lot. There is no need to worry about not being able to exchange for meat.
However, changing only one piece of meat means that the choices will be much smaller, and the most delicious parts of the meat are limited, so it is definitely first come first served!
Thinking of this, many villagers became anxious and quickly returned home to get food or eggs to exchange for meat.
Lu Xuan took the knife from his brother and prepared to cut the meat on the spot. Seeing this, Lu Qing hurried home to get a knife to help.
Lu Xuan stopped her and pointed at the hare and pheasant on the side and said, "Sister, please help me clean these up so I can cook them later."
Lu Qing was a little embarrassed. "Then can you clean up the pig by yourself?"
"Let's come and help!" Li Jing, the eldest son of the village chief, and Zhang Chengming, a neighbor who has a good relationship with the Lu family, walked out of the crowd and rolled up their sleeves.
They thought that although the Lu family used to be butchers, Lu Xuan's previous circumstances were special and he probably hadn't been able to learn the butchering skills from Uncle Lu, so they had to take the lead in handling the wild boar.
But when Lu Xuan made a move, the two were surprised to find that this boy's skills were unexpectedly clean and neat, and his every move seemed to be skillful and honed through thousands of trials.
Zhang Chengming and Li Jing opened their mouths wide. After a moment, the former excitedly patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder and praised him, "Good boy, you are worthy of being Uncle Lu's son!"
Lu Qing was also surprised when she noticed her brother's actions.
The audience in the live broadcast room were even more amazed.
The host's actions were as cold and ruthless as if he had been slaughtering pigs for ten years.
[He can hunt and handle prey, what an all-rounder!]
Of course, some viewers raised questions.
[Don't you find it strange? Wasn't it said that the anchor had been dumb for over a decade and had the same intelligence as a child? Why is he so skilled?]
My brother is a mutant beast hunter. He's been doing this for five or six years, but he's still not as skilled as the anchor in handling prey.
[From what other villagers have said, the Lu family used to be butchers. Perhaps it's an instinct etched in their genes?]
[Pfft! What the hell is instinct? I've never heard of anyone's genes teaching them how to handle prey. Is the person above trying to be funny?]
The audience discussed it for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion. Lu Xuan was busy dealing with the wild boar and didn't read the barrage. In the end, he had to give up for the time being and thought about asking the anchor later.
When Lu Xuan had cut the different parts of the pig, the villagers who wanted to exchange meat also went home to get food and spontaneously lined up.
"Lu, give me three pounds of pork belly." A smiling middle-aged woman handed the whole grain to Lu Xuan and praised him, "You are so capable. Qing can rest assured from now on! Your family will surely prosper."
Lu Xuan casually handed over the meat the other party wanted, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your good wishes, aunt."
With him around, the Lu siblings will naturally not suffer anymore.
The people queuing behind were also generous with their praise when they exchanged their meat, and at the same time they recalled the difficult life of the Lu family in the past with deep emotion.
The owner of Lu Xuan's body looked smart when he was born, but after growing a few years old, he was found to be a little fool.
The villagers of Yunlu Village were relatively simple and honest. Apart from some wives who had married into the village from other villages whispering in private and being overheard by ignorant children, who would privately call the original owner a fool and tease him, the adults had never bullied him.
The people in the village are not well off. They are so busy working every day to earn food that they don’t have time to bully a fool.
Now that Lu Xuan is fine, most people are happy for Lu Qing. Some aunts who usually like to act as matchmakers can't help but feel a little restless.
Lu Xuan's appearance is not stunning, but it's not bad either. His height of 1.8 meters makes him stand out in the whole village.
In the past, Lu Xuan's eyes always revealed the innocence and purity that only children have, which made people unable to have any other thoughts. But now, there is an indescribable feeling in those exceptionally calm and composed eyes, which makes some young women blush a little.
Besides, Lu Xuan is such a good hunter, so how could a girl who marries into the Lu family worry about having no meat to eat?
Lu Xuan was completely unaware of the thoughts of the village ladies and said to the young woman in front of him, "I have a use for the front leg meat, you can look at other parts."
Su Ying gently tucked the hair behind her ear, glanced at Lu Xuan tenderly, and whispered softly, "Didn't they say that this pig would be exchanged? Why is it that now that I want the front leg meat, I'm not allowed to exchange it? Brother Lu, are you teasing me on purpose? But I really like to eat the front leg meat, what can I do?"
As she spoke later, her coquettish tone became more and more obvious.
