Chapter 1 The Daily Life of a Raccoon

Next Chapter

As the solar system went west, Lotta climbed up. Kicking off the rabbit skin blanket on his body, the curled up body unfolded, and the activist was on his muscles. After a day of sleep, he was now full of energy, and it was time to forage for food at night.

Because, raccoons are nocturnal animals.

Yes, he's a raccoon now...... If he's a raccoon breed now. Iconic black eye patch, pointed fox face, silver-gray fur slightly bluish. The black rings, not only on his tail, but also spread all over his body, like a prison uniform.

As for the figure, it looks like a ringed hairball with four black legs inserted and a large ringed tail.

The first time she looked at the water, Lotta felt more like a cat.

It's just that cats don't have the dexterous fingers of raccoons, like the palm of a human hand, and can grasp things flexibly.

He used to be a human being, named University Dog, who was a group of people who had just entered society and survived, and the difference between advantages and disadvantages was the largest. He is also a high-grade breed that combines mechanical dogs, polytechnic dogs, and single dogs.

But, that was once.

Until a month ago, when I woke up, the world changed.

Smoke and smog-shrouded urban forests are gone, replaced by real nature, towering trees, barren mountains, and the sound of babbling streams.

Looking down, he saw a pair of black claws.

Then, there was the screams that pierced the night......

He thought about ending himself and starting over for the third time.

But......

The first time he jumps into a river, he discovers that raccoons can swim; The second time, he wanted to starve to death without eating or drinking, but he couldn't bear the torture of hunger, appetite is the first desire of life, he couldn't help but gnaw a lot of grass roots, and chewed the incense; The third time, he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a tree, to die in a neat and neat way. But an unlucky rabbit was right under him, and he sat to death.

And he had a rabbit meat dinner.

However, it was after that incident that he gave up the plans he had ever had in life.

Because, when he smashed the rabbit to death, a mechanical voice suddenly appeared.

[Successfully kill the Long-eared Rabbit and gain 10 experience points.] Kill method evaluation: Aerial assassination, an additional 10 experience points. 】

At this time, he discovered that he had the treasure and standard configuration of the traverser:

System.

There's a stats bar, there's a skill bar, there's a taskbar, and there's even a panel where you can record your own data. It was this system that made him give up his plan to start over for the third time in his life. Because the system told him that the end of evolution could be to become the supreme perfect form of the creature. At that point, of course, you can choose to take on a human form.

This excites him, and the desire to survive is burning.

After all, no one wants to end their own life, let alone have a system?

"One day, Lao Tzu will become a new person, and he will still be a systematic person!"

As for what the system said about the perfect creature, he directly ignored it.

Now, a new life experience, ah no, an animal life experience:

Raccoon life.

From standing on two legs, to standing on all fours.

At the beginning, Lotta was very unaccustomed to it, and would stand up from time to time, but after standing up, it felt very awkward to walk, and she climbed down again after walking two steps. The awkwardness of the heart and the awkwardness of the body conflict.

Eventually, he got used to walking on all fours.

Fold the rabbit skin blanket and set it aside.

This blanket was made from the rabbit who was sat down to death by him and had the bad luck to get home.

Lotta rubbed his dark circles under his eyes, sighed, and groped in the weeds beside him, drawing a short spear that seemed to be nearly 1 meter long.

It was a spear shaft made of a straight and smooth branch, polished from the leg bone of a rabbit, with this little barbed spearhead, and tied together with vines. The rabbit leg bone spear is completely inserted into the flesh, and if you want to pull it out, those two small barbs can make the prey feel like ascending to heaven.

He made it himself.

Humans, unlike animals, are intelligent and have flexible hands.

The raccoon's fingers are very flexible, even surpassing humans in touch, and can feel shell bugs in the mud. Lotta was originally a human being, with wisdom and hands. Then he can make tools and transform his surroundings. This is also the biggest difference between humans and animals. In the past month, he has transformed this raccoon nest built on a tree.

The tree hole, which was originally less than 1 cubic meter, was doubled by him.

A round nest made of dead grass and feathers, a vine door that blocks the entrance to the cave, a few baskets for storing nut food, baskets depreciated by vines, and bamboo tubes for water.

These were all gouged out by him with his teeth, and the raccoon's teeth were still very sharp.

Pick up the homemade bamboo tube for filling water, and drink the rest of the water in a few sips. Trapping the bamboo tube on her back again, Lotta removed the camouflage door that blocked the doorway and climbed onto the platform outside the tree hole. The hollow in the tree where he lived was 15 meters above the ground, on top of a stout tree about 30 meters high. Although the tree is 30 meters tall, it is very short compared to the trees that are casually 100 meters tall in the distance.

Grabbing a thick vine vinegar, he slipped to the bottom of the tree.

Discerning the next direction, he walked towards the nearest waterfall pool.

Raccoons are omnivores and are highly adaptable to their environment. But their original place of origin is at the water's edge. And the origin of their raccoon name is that they will wash the food they find with water before eating.

"System, how much experience do you need to move up to the next level?"

[Current level: Level 2.] Current XP 1910, XP required to level up 2000]

"That is, if you eat 9 more shells today, you can upgrade to level 3?"

Lotta's spirits were a little uplifted.

[Yes.] Please complete the starter quest as soon as possible, you have been delaying for a month. 】

Being complained about by the system, Lotta rolled her eyes.

From the time he first arrived, the system released a novice task, but it has not been completed until now. It's not that he deliberately dragged it, but the difficulty of the task was a little beyond his ability......

Well, it's that he simply can't finish it.

"You asked me to hunt the 10-meter-long, half-meter-thick python in the mushroom tree next door? If you give me a 40-meter-long knife, I'll go! ”

Lotta was extremely skeptical that he had opened the system the wrong way.

Or, when choosing the difficulty, the handsome chose a nightmare level?

Otherwise, a novice task would be so difficult. But he couldn't remember the interface with the difficulty of selecting. This can't be confirmed from where the system is, he can only comfort himself, it's just that everything is difficult at the beginning. So for a month, he silently went to the water's edge to dig shells to eat and improve his nest.

By the way, familiarize yourself with this body.

"The first step to survival, Finch diapers...... Bah! Food, water, and shelter. ”

Now, he has a steady source of food and uses bamboo tubes to store water. The raccoon nest in the trees has also been transformed into a hidden, safe, and perfect nest with multiple escape points. After all this settled, he began to concentrate on completing the so-called novice task.

Lotta climbed some distance and came to a waterfall pool.

The waterfall is only more than 10 meters high and only 3 meters wide, forming this pool no more than 100 meters in diameter. This is where he usually eats. The sun has completely sunk into the horizon and the sky is completely dark, but for nocturnal raccoons, the darkness is not scary. Because, compared to the visual range of humans, the perception of the spectrum is much greater than that of humans due to the accumulation of special pigments in the eyes of raccoons. Even in a dark cavern, Lotta could see what was up close, just without color.

Although it was dark, half a huge full moon rose, obscuring a third of the night sky. Under the bright moonlight, Lotta only felt that her surroundings were as clear as daytime.

Look up at the sky.

The night sky, which is free of urban pollution, is exceptionally clear. You can clearly see the beautiful and colorful galaxy. Reflected in this pool, sometimes, he can't tell where is the sky and where is the earth.

Cloaked in the night sky, I went down into the shallows of the pool.

With her nimble raccoon paws, Lotta groped her way through the mud.

Soon found his food, a mussel twice the size of his claws.

After scooping a few ashore, Lotta picked up his short spear and walked to the outlet of the waterhole, where the shells alone were not enough for his taste. The pure natural waterhole, the river water is crystal clear, and the fish and shrimp swimming back and forth between the stones can be seen clearly.

He went into the water with a short spear, and when the level stabilized, the fish and shrimp that had been scared away reappeared.

Lotta's eyes narrowed, and she aimed it under a fish and plunged straight down.

The sharp rabbit leg short spear, and immediately the fish he saw pierced the sting. This spearfish skill, Lotta has been practicing for more than half a month, and now, one insert is accurate.

Occasionally, you can also plug in two fish.

1 fish, 2 fish, 1 shrimp......

Filling the bamboo tube with water, Lotta took tonight's ingredients and went to a camp next to her waterhole. As he walked through the bushes and into this small clearing. There were already three furry figures waiting here. They are the three younger brothers that Lotta inadvertently paid for. Every night at dinner, it must be here on time.

They are......

Three guinea pigs.

"I think it's probably maybe a guinea pig, but this isn't Earth, who knows what it is......"
