Chapter 4 Triggering Branches
The second task was to hunt and cook 100 chickens in a month, and it was certainly impossible to run back and forth between the abandoned factory and the home like this time.
I can only stay there and survive in the wilderness.
So Chen Qing is ready to confess part of the truth to his parents in order to get a chance to go out for a month and complete the task.
After all, he is not an "orphan", if he disappears without saying hello, his parents have to call the police.
When it came to cleaning the pots and pans for making chicken soup, he had already come up with a set of words that would be acceptable.
At half past five, after Chen's father and mother came home from work, Chen Qing said directly: "Dad, Mom, there is something to discuss with you."
"Huh? Xiaoqing, are you back so early today? What's the matter? Chen's father changed his shoes and walked to the living room, followed by Chen's mother.
Chen Qing: "That's right—I recently met a retired professor from the Martial Arts University, who is very good at teaching students. I'm going to practice with him for a month, and maybe I'll have the opportunity to take the martial arts exam......"
As soon as Chen's father heard this, he frowned on the spot and interrupted Chen Qing: "You are young and inexperienced, you must have been deceived!" The fact that you don't have martial arts talent has long been determined, how can it be ......"
"Dad! It's true, believe it or not—I'm already a beginner in martial arts. ”
As he spoke, Chen Qing put a wristwatch-like device on his wrist - this is a portable testing instrument, which is generally used to help beginners determine whether they have practiced the power of qi and blood and introduced martial arts.
When he took this instrument to stand up for a foundation pile method, a green light lit up on the instrument.
This means that there are fluctuations in qi and blood on the wearer's body!
"This, this ......" Chen's father and Chen's mother looked incredulous. The son of his family, who has always been considered untalented, has really entered the path of martial arts.
"Old, old Chen...... Could it be that the detector has been broken for too long? You, you go downstairs to the pharmacy and buy another one! Chen's mother trembled a little in her words and pushed her husband.
"Alright, alright, I'll go." Chen's father didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out to buy a new one, so nervous that he didn't even change his slippers.
Ten minutes later, Chen's father ran back out of breath and handed Chen Qing the newly purchased detector.
Chen Qing took it with a helpless face, changed the new one to his wrist, and stood on another pile.
The green light came back on, and it was finally irrefutable.
"Son, my son has really met a famous teacher!" Chen's father and Chen's mother looked at each other excitedly, and tears even began to flicker in their eyes.
Because in this world, the life experiences of martial artists and ordinary people are really very different.
Even the lowest-level martial artists on urban and rural buses can eat casually, and their wages are much higher than those of ordinary people. How can parents who hope for Jackie Chan not want their children to become martial artists?
"Xiaoqing, we have to thank the old professor!" Father Chen calmed down a little.
"In this way, your cultivation Dad agreed. Tomorrow Dad will go with you, bring gifts, pay some tuition, and our family will have to express it. ”
How can this work, can you go with me to the scrap factory to give gifts to Sanhua chicken? Chen Qing was speechless.
He hurriedly came up with an excuse: "Don't, Dad." The teacher has a strange temper and doesn't like vulgarity. What if he gets angry and doesn't teach me? ”
"Yes, yes, recklessly. That dad will give you some money, the old man likes to eat something, use something, you look at it, and your mind is lively! Chen's father said.
"Okay, I see." Chen Qing nodded yes, "By the way, you help me ask the head teacher for leave, and by the way, ask him to pay the registration fee for the martial arts examination." ”
"I'm sure to take the martial arts exam this year?!" Father Chen was surprised, but he didn't ask much, "Just leave these to Dad, you can cultivate with peace of mind." ”
In this way, the parents' side has finally taken care of it. Early the next morning, Chen Qing set off with his luggage on his back.
…………
Hunting a magical beast like the three-flowered chicken is really lackluster. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, Chen Qing has hunted and eaten more than 60 Sanhua chickens, and the fluctuation of qi and blood has almost reached about 380 points.
For twenty days, he hunted the three-flowered chicken in the nearby wilderness during the day; At night, he slept in the communication room of the factory ruins, relying on several dismantled animal repellent sounders to ensure safety.
From the beginning of the need to lure the chickens to the factory, relying on the animal repellent sounder to kill, to the later can be directly killed, and then to be able to run with the chickens, Chen Qing felt his own little progress.
With the growth of the power of qi and blood in his body, he is no longer as thin as before, and now he has a beautiful figure, with beautiful muscle lines and full of strength.
The hair was longer, and there was nowhere to shave it, so I had to tie it up in a short braid; The cheeks are not as delicate as before, they are more angular and a lot tougher.
Although eating chicken for three meals a day almost made Chen Qing vomit, he likes this kind of life with change and progress, which makes him feel that he is truly alive.
Today's wind is beautiful and the weather is good, Chen Qing came to the small pond as always, waiting for the chickens to come.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, and he felt like he was on his back.
Something is eyeing itself! The sense of vigilance in Chen Qing's heart arose spontaneously.
He jerked around, and his sight was nothing but long weeds, drab wildflowers, and dry yellow dirt.
But Chen Qing knew that in these wilderness scenes in front of him, there were predators who were preparing to attack.
Probably because of his early warning, the other party lost the opportunity and did not dare to attack directly, and the two sides confronted each other in the open and dark.
After a long time, the predator's patience was finally exhausted. There was movement in the grass, and the half-human-tall weeds overwhelmed on either side, and a demonic beast stepped out of it.
Chen Qing gradually saw its appearance clearly, it was a tree wolf, a carnivorous zero-order demonic beast.
This wolf-like monster has the same body size as an adult man, has no outer skin, and is wrapped in hard armor like dead branches, which is both a mimicry and a kind of protection.
[Reminder: Side quest has been triggered]
When this tree wolf appeared in front of Chen Qing, the mechanical voice of the system in his mind followed.
Probably knowing that it is inconvenient for him to view the task panel now, the system broadcasts the task content for him:
[Side quest 1: Life is always full of accidents, and cultivation is the same. Face the challenge, boy]
[Content: Defeat and kill the tree wolf you encountered]
【Reward: Transcendent Perception Experience Card*1】
Experience card! Hearing this, Chen Qing's heart moved, and he secretly thought that the system really had various experience cards, which should be obtained through side quests. I don't know if there is a chance to get the [Future Experience Card].
With a slight turn of his thoughts, he turned his attention back to the enemy at hand.
"Woohoo......"
The tree wolf's front paw tugged at the ground twice, opening its mouth to reveal its black and yellow teeth, and sticky, bacteria-filled saliva trickled down the gums.
It let out two low roars as if threatening, and then exerted its strength on all fours, and suddenly pounced on Chen Qing.
