Chapter 2: The Beast Walks the Way
Schutte was walking down the road at the foot of the mountain when he suddenly received a systematic reminder of a crisis.
[Unknown organism detected, possibly radiation variant]
Schutt looked left and right in panic, but found nothing but trees and berry bushes on the side of the road.
Where is it?
Schutte clenched the gun in his hand, and after thinking about it, the carbon nanoknife slowly took shape in his hand, which was one of the few things he relied on in the face of danger.
Suddenly, Shute noticed the red marker in the corner of his field of vision and turned his head to look.
I'm super! Perspective hanging!
Schutt immediately turned his gun on the red figure hiding behind the bushes and cautiously backed away.
However, as if realizing that he had been exposed, the other party suddenly jumped out of the shadows and rushed towards Shute.
That's a... Big wolf?
Before he had time to think deeply, Schutte raised his gun and it was a burst of fire!
"Bang bang!"
Since there is a gun with unlimited bullets, shoot! That's it!
"Woo! Roarββ! β
The "radiation mutants" labeled as enemies appeared to have been shot, their momentum was blocked, they roared a few times, leaped a few steps backwards, and pulled away.
Very good, within range, the advantage is mine!
Schutte continued to shoot incessantly, stirring up a lot of dust on the ground. The reddening of the barrel indicates a strong suppressive force.
However... The smoke stirred up, forming a swirling wind that swept towards Schutte.
Wait, wait, friend, is this science?
The wind swept towards Schutte in an unscientific way, and the huge force of the wind tossed him to the ground, seizing the moment, and the giant wolf also pounced on Schutte. At this critical moment, Schutte pushed the carbon nanoknife he had been holding in his hand towards the giant wolf!
Top out! Pierce! Drop down! Turn over!
Like a jelly, the sharp blade easily cut an "L" shaped wound in the wolf's abdomen.
The wolf fell to the ground in severe pain, and Schutte took the opportunity to roll out from under the wolf, draw his gun and shoot.
The muzzle of the gun was pressed against the wolf's head and the bullet tore the wolf's head apart, and the bullet splattered out of the skull with white and red liquid, and Schutt was sure that the monster was completely dead, and sat on the ground weakly.
During the battle, Schutte's shoulder was slapped by the wolf's claws, and although it did not break bones, it also had a faint pain. The wrist was even more swollen from the huge recoil of the pistol, and it was obviously difficult to hold the gun again.
That's when he had a chance to take a closer look at the monster that almost killed him.
On the whole, it looks like a wolf, but it's a little bigger. But if you look closely, you will find that it has a strange green pattern on its forehead, and staring at it all the time can make people feel a little dizzy.
[Detection of energetic matter within the variant]
A small ball is highlighted, showing its location inside the wolf's skull. Schutt made a knife cut through the bullet in the wolf's head, and the remnants of the wolf's blood and brains flowed out along with many deformed bullets.
In the middle of a pile of bullets, Schutte found the "high-energy substance". It was an ellipsoidal crystal with a faint green glow, clearly buried in the bullet pile, but there was no sign of damage.
High-energy substances? What is it? What's the use? What was taken out of its body was the demon beast Neidan? Wait, since it's a "radiation mutant", then this thing that glows green doesn't also carry some highly toxic and deadly radiation!
Shute quickly stood up, trying to keep his distance.
[Scans show no significant effects on humans]
Well, I knew it would be fine.
Schutte sat down again.
[It contains a large amount of unknown energy, and continues to escape at a very low rate.]
[No information on this energy has been entered in the database]
[Insufficient information to assess the impact on the human body]
οΌ I don't even know what the system is? Then I can't mutate too.
Shute stood up again.
[Host is in stable physical condition with no significant abnormalities]
[judged to be healthy]
Shute took a deep breath, but sat down anyway.
[For unknown substances, it is strongly recommended that the host collect samples to resolve specific properties]
The crystal slowly decomposed under the cannibalization of the system, and after several attempts, Schutt realized that it was not necessary to hold it in his hand to dismantle the object with the system, as long as it was close enough and the target did not move around, it could be broken down into particles and stored in the system.
[Under Analysis... Progress 1%]
Watching the progress bar move at an extremely slow pace, Schutt decided to ignore the matter and continue his search for a human settlement.
In this way, he walked along the gravel road at the foot of the mountain, and after walking a few steps, he took a berry from his pocket and ate it, although it was very sour, but it also tasted good.
On a whim, Schutte thought, can the system print this berry?
The system responded immediately
[Feature "Custom Print" has not been unlocked]
That... What are the unlocking conditions?
[Please pay 100 Energy Points]
Energy coins?
[In the multiverse space, which is far away and even has different physical laws, energy is still the basic equivalent of the transactions between the main gods of the universe]
[Energy Coin is the most basic unit of energy trading, and its energy represents about the energy level of a star]
[Retrieved "Beginner's Tutorial: How to Get Energy Coins"]
[In addition to directly providing a huge amount of energy, there are many easy ways to obtain energy coins, among which the most suitable is to trade with various planes through the system.] In addition to this, pleasing the Outworld Demon God may also be appreciated in various forms, including energy coins, but there are also unknowable dangers]
This system... It seems a little more outrageous than expected.
Schutte was shocked.
After a few fumbling around, Schutte managed to open the store page.

"Oh? It's kind of interesting. β
Schutte turned the page backwards.

"yes, there's that too."

"It's... Isn't that a little...? β

However, as a mortal who didn't have half an energy coin in his hand, Schutt read a few pages and then went to the trading page.
Compared with the relatively neat and orderly layout of the system mall, the trading market looks like the world channel in the ancient MMORPG, bombarded with constantly refreshing news.

Schutt flipped through the sea of transactions, but stopped after a few clicks, for at the end of his vision, behind the hill, there was smoke.
It was from the flames, the smoke.
