Originally full of confidence, Xu Damao unexpectedly let several prey escape, and he gained a new understanding of himself - he was just a novice.
"Are you guys forcing me to use my ultimate move?" Originally, he thought he would avoid using his spatial ability if possible, as hunting was all about having fun. Unexpectedly, after losing his prey several times, Xu Damao's competitive spirit was ignited, and he began his cheating journey.
Sure enough, with the help of the bug, Xu Damao would store any prey he spotted nearby in his spatial storage. After satisfying his perverse urges, he still found using guns quite interesting.
After resting for a while and drinking some water, Xu Damao continued walking. Soon, he spotted Qiangda resting not far away, so he went over to check on him.
Unexpectedly, the fat man had incredible luck today and caught two rabbits.
"Da Mao, you're going to be last today." The fat man felt a great sense of accomplishment looking at Xu Da Mao, whose hands were empty.
“Okay, you can continue resting. We’re having a tortoise and a hare race now. I’m the tortoise, and you’re the hare resting ahead. I’ll catch up with you,” Xu Damao encouraged himself.
After walking for another half hour, Xu Damao encountered nothing but a few birds, and he didn't waste any bullets. Just as he was about to give up, Xu Damao suddenly heard the sound of flowing water ahead.
"Where there is water, there are usually wild animals." This thought popped into Xu Damao's head.
After walking a short distance, I came across a small stream. The current wasn't strong, but the elevation difference was significant. I walked along the stream for a while and sure enough, I made a discovery.
Through the leaves, Xu Damao spotted a group of dark shadows in a pond formed by a stream. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were wild boars.
The wild boars were in the ravine, and Xu Damao was on the edge of the ravine, no more than 50 meters away. There were about 6 or 7 wild boars, of varying sizes, all lying in the pond, looking filthy.
Slowly, Xu Damao groped his way to the edge of the ravine, less than 10 meters from the wild boar, and raised his gun.
The wild boars seemed to have smelled something different too, and they all stood up, fully alert, grunting and snorting.
Aiming at the largest wild boar, Xu Damao decisively fired. "Bang!" A shot rang out, and the boar hit at close range fell instantly. The other boars began to prepare to flee in all directions.
Because there was a ravine nearby, Xu Damao opened fire to block the only passage, and almost all the wild boars charged straight at the gun barrel. "Bang bang bang," gunshots rang out continuously, and Xu Damao wounded several more boars.
The other wild boars were celebrating their escape, unaware that they too were doomed, as Xu Damao simply took them into his spatial storage.
Xu Damao fired a few more shots at the wild boars that weren't quite dead, and then started releasing the boars he had taken in one by one to kill them.
Seeing the seven wild boars lying haphazardly by the pool, Xu Damao thought for a moment and then put six of them into his spatial storage. He then picked up the remaining medium-sized one and started walking back.
In this respect, Xu Damao believed he wouldn't be at the bottom. Hah, that damned competitiveness of men.
"Damn, Da Mao, you're really amazing. I heard a lot of gunshots just now, but I didn't expect you to have shot down such a big wild boar." Xu Da Mao was spotted by Lu Xiangyang after only a few minutes of walking.
Just now, Xu Damao was firing his gun incessantly, and the sound had already carried far. As soon as the others heard the gunfire, they knew there was a large shipment nearby. Worried about potential danger, they gathered in the direction of the sound, with Lu Xiangyang being the first to arrive.
"Haha, I cornered this wild boar in the pond, he couldn't escape. It's a pity my marksmanship is so bad, I had to fire many shots before I finally hit him," Xu Damao explained.
“It’s fine, it’s just this one big truck, we can fire as many shots as we want without losing out,” Lu Xiangyang said.
As the two were talking, Tong Shuai also rushed over and saw the wild boar on Xu Damao's back.
"You're really good, kid. You're worthy of being my apprentice; you've truly mastered the skills," Tong Shuai boasted. Yesterday, he taught Xu Damao for a whole day, so he could be considered half a master. Of course, if Xu Damao didn't even have a single wild boar hair, that would be a different story.
After chatting and laughing for a while, they saw that it was almost time to go back. Of the two, Tong Shuai caught two rabbits and three pheasants; Lu Xiangyang caught only one rabbit and two pheasants.
When the group reached the meeting point, they found everyone else had arrived. This time, they had all had a good haul, mostly pheasants, and Gao Dashui had even caught a few badgers.
Everyone congratulated Xu Damao, but Qiang Da's expression was a little strange. There was nothing he could do; he had thought he could finally escape being last in the class for a thousand years, but in the end, he still hadn't changed.
"Da Mao, theirs are all small creatures, easy to handle. But what about you, this big wild boar?" Tong Shuai asked.
Previously, they would find a place to have a meal with their hunted prey, eat a little, and take the rest home. But Xu Damao's over 100-pound prey couldn't be eaten in one meal.
"How about we go to the main factory canteen, find a cook to prepare the pig, and we'll eat there. I'll figure out what to do with the rest," Xu Damao suggested to Tong Shuai.
Xu Damao is no longer affiliated with the main factory; he needs Tong Shuai's intervention to eat at the main factory.
“Da Mao, why don’t we go directly to our branch office’s canteen? Our chef is quite skilled; his food is incredibly delicious. As for the remaining pork, you can simply sell it to our action team officers,” Lu Xiangyang said directly.
Xu Damao felt something was off. A person who specialized in cracking down on the black market and private transactions was openly talking about buying and selling, and their key targets were them. Xu Damao looked conflicted.
"Haha, Xiangyang, Da Mao was misled by your actions. Da Mao, the branch team members are normal people too. They haven't been able to eat meat for days either. Xiangyang is just providing them with welfare."
"It's alright, just do as he says. Just collect the market price; forget about the tickets."
Seeing through Xu Damao's thoughts, Tong Shuai came to the rescue.
"It's alright, it's alright, the squad leader is right. We're normal people too, and the team members occasionally go to the black market," Tong Shuai said with a smile.
"Wild boar meat doesn't taste as good as pork, so the price is a bit cheaper," Xu Damao said.
And so, the group started heading back. Unlike when they came, the return journey was significantly faster.
Upon arriving at the branch office, Lu Xiangyang took charge of everything, and the canteen chef quickly prepared the wild boar.
"Anyone want some meat? I got a wild boar through someone, it's in the canteen. If you want pork, hurry up, or it'll be gone. It's cheaper than pork at the market, and you don't need coupons."
Lu Xiangyang announced the news directly to the action team. The team was thrown into chaos.
Cheap meat that didn't require tickets, even though it was wild boar, was still in high demand. So, the action team started going to the canteen to buy meat. Others from the branch office saw this, inquired about it, and immediately followed.
In the end, apart from what we ate that night and the few pounds that Xu Damao left behind, everything else was sold.
