Back to 1992, slingshot hunting skill points!

"You silly child, couldn't you have asked someone to come with you if you had something to do? You left without saying a word and came back so late, it's already dark."

Lin Chuan left a note at noon and left without saying anything. As it gradually got dark, they finally started to worry.

Lin Chuan went hunting wild boars at night quite a few times. His mother wasn't too worried at first, but she couldn't stop his grandmother and the others from nagging him.

In addition, this was in Linjiadang, which Lin Chuan had only been to a few times and was unfamiliar with the place, so she gradually began to worry.

As soon as Lin Chuan entered the yard, his mother started nagging. With her leading the way, his grandmother also chimed in, asking:

"Xiao Chuan, where did you go? If you have something to do, ask your uncle to come with you."

Aunt: "Yes, your uncle doesn't have much to do at home. If you need anything, just call him. Don't go out alone. You're not familiar with this area, and if you fall, no one will know."

Lin He: ?

Who said I had nothing to do? Didn't you see I was busy all afternoon?

Lin Chuan saw that they all came to ask, and although it was out of concern, it was a bit overwhelming with so many people asking.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan was already experienced with these situations. He looked at his grandmother and gave her a pitiful expression:

"Grandma, I'm hungry. I didn't eat lunch or dinner."

"Oh dear, are you hungry? The food is still warming up in the pot. Go and eat something first."

Lin Chuan started eating, but with a group of people watching, he couldn't eat much, even though he was hungry.

Lin Chuan forced himself to eat three bowls, then put the bowls down.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, I went to the county today."

You're going to be asked anyway, so you might as well take the initiative to answer.

Lin Chuan recounted his trip to the county to find someone to sell wild boars, the price per wild boar, and how he arranged for a truck to pick them up the next day.

The old man nodded: "Yes, you did the right thing, otherwise this meat would indeed be difficult to sell."

Grandma said with satisfaction, "Xiao Chuan is so sensible. He thinks far ahead and is very capable. He did so much in just one afternoon."

The aunt said with concern, "Don't go out alone next time. It's easy to make people worry. Ask your uncle to go with you. Let him run errands if anything happens."

Lin Chuan nodded obediently, and after they finished speaking, he took out the large amount of spices he had bought:

"Mom, let's light a fire and braise two pig heads, then smoke the rest."

Uncle: "You idiot, this stuff doesn't taste good when it's fresh."

As for the word "卤" (lǔ), he didn't understand it.

Lin Xue and Lin Feng explained to them, especially Lin Xue, who described the braised pig's head meat as if it were the most delicious thing in the world.

Lin Yue and Lin Yang secretly swallowed their saliva as they spoke.

When Mom lit the fire and Lin Chuan started stir-frying the ingredients, everyone stood and watched.

Not to mention Lin Yue and Lin Yang, even Lin Chuan was drooling when he saw the adults; the stir-fried ingredients smelled so good.

After adding boiling water, Lin Chuan told them the time and went to take a shower. He was still wearing long sleeves after showering. His explanation for the long sleeves was to avoid scratching his arms on tree branches on the mountain. Everyone was given one.

"Uncle, Xiaofeng, let's go to bed early. We'll get up early in the middle of the night and go up the mountain to see if we can hunt some more wild boars. We can haul them down in a truck tomorrow."

Grandma smiled and shook her head: "My dear grandson, wild boars aren't that easy to hunt. You can't find them at night. You should get some sleep tonight."

"Mom, just let him go. He can find it."

It was Lin Chuan's mother who stood up for him. Although she didn't know how Lin Chuan hunted wild boars, it seemed that Lin Chuan never came back empty-handed after going out. Now she had a lot of confidence in Lin Chuan.

Last night we killed the wild boar in the cornfield. Generally, there's only one litter of wild boar in a place. The old man decided that we wouldn't go up the mountain to keep watch tonight; we'd just stay home and get some sleep.

Before going to sleep, Lin Chuan opened the system. He would have to go up the mountain as soon as he woke up, so naturally he had to get the Pig King's sense of smell first.

Harvest Points: 11892

Before he knew it, he had almost accumulated 12,000 harvest points. Now, Lin Chuan was more relaxed about harvest points and didn't care as much as he did at the beginning. He felt that having a few thousand points for emergencies was enough for him.

The main problem is that Lin Chuan lacks the skills to learn, which has diminished his motivation; the entry requirement of 20 points is too difficult.

This includes everything, equivalent to 20% of an entire industry. It's like cooking; Lin Chuan's culinary skills are already excellent, but he doesn't know if he can ever learn 20% of the entire cooking industry in his lifetime.

Lin Chuan has actually tried quite a few things lately: cooking, fishing, running, chopping wood, and doing calisthenics...

But the system didn't react much, not even giving a five-point response to check proficiency. It probably can't record all skills, otherwise, he would have no problem running to five points.

Lin Chuan thought about it and decided to let it go. Whatever, it was enough for him now. Ten points in physique plus three passive abilities were enough for him to handle most things.

If you can't handle it, just buy skill cards.

Lin Chuan looked at the price of the Pig King's Sense of Smell, which was 1200 points, and thought for a moment before clicking on the targeted lottery. The lottery only cost 1000 points.

Save where you should, spend where you should, there's no need to waste money on such pointless gains.

[You spent 1000 Harvest Points on a targeted lottery draw, Target: Tracking. Congratulations, you have won one Clues Skill Card.]

【Clues and Clues: Enhance your observation skills; no detail can escape your notice (within your line of sight)】

[Usage time: 60 minutes, 10 points will be deducted for each minute exceeding the time limit]

The skill card I drew wasn't Pig King's Sense of Smell; this is the first time.

Although he hadn't figured out how to use it yet, Lin Chuan was rich and didn't care, so he did a second draw.

[You spent 1000 Harvest Points to participate in a targeted lottery, Target: Tracking. Congratulations, you have won a Heat Source Perception Skill Card.]

[Heat Source Detection: Enhances your perception, allowing you to sense the body temperature of living beings; no living thing can escape your perception (within your line of sight)]

[Usage time: 60 minutes, 10 points will be deducted for each minute exceeding the time limit]

"It's not like I have the Pig King's sense of smell," Lin Chuan thought with a slight unease, suspecting that he had been tricked by the system.

I was trying to save 200 and gain some points, but I ended up spending 2,000 and only got two useless items.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Chuan started his third draw, unwilling to give up.

[You spent 1000 Harvest Points to participate in a targeted lottery, Target: Tracking. Congratulations, you have won one Pig King Smell Skill Card.]

[Pig King's Sense of Smell: Enhances your sense of smell, allowing you to distinguish odors within a 20-kilometer radius; no scent can escape your nose.]

[Usage time: 60 minutes, 10 points will be deducted for each minute exceeding the time limit]

Finally, he drew the familiar scent of the Pig King, and Lin Chuan felt tears welling up in his eyes.

You son of a bitch.

Harvest Points: 8892

Nothing happened that night. At three in the morning, the alarm clock rang. Lin Chuan turned it off and woke up Lin Feng and his uncle.

I got up, ran the water, and washed up. My grandparents, mother, and aunt also got up.

My mom cut up a big plate of pig's head meat; Lin Chuan had already taught her how to cook it at home.

I soaked the leftover rice from last night in boiling water twice, drained the water, and then heated it up.

The three of them each ate a little over a bowl, mainly because there wasn't enough leftover rice. Otherwise, judging from the uncle's still-enjoyed appearance, they could have finished a few more bowls.
