Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, but remained vigilant. He immediately used his pupil technique to scan his surroundings.

The signals of the other two clouded leopards were still near their original locations, about 300 meters and 500 meters apart.

The one 300 meters away seemed to have sensed something was wrong; the signal was moving.

Qin Chuan walked quickly to the side of the clouded leopard's corpse.

His head was completely burned, charred black, and emitting a pungent, burnt smell.

But the body below the neck was completely unharmed. The silver-gray fur shone softly in the light of the luminescent stone, the dark brown cloud-like patterns were clear and beautiful, and the golden edges shimmered in the dim light.

Qin Chuan squatted down and touched the clouded leopard's fur with his hand.

Your fingers sink in; the texture is soft and delicate, with dense undercoat, ensuring excellent warmth. The long, smooth hairs on the surface have a natural sheen.

The texture of this fur is better than any fur on Earth. It would be both beautiful and warm to wear. You could even use it as a blanket at night.

Qin Chuan pulled out a bone-bladed dagger and began peeling the skin.

Strength 90 made the process quick. The bone blade sliced ​​in from below the clouded leopard's neck, down the midline of its abdomen, and then made a cut on the inside of each limb. Qin Chuan ripped the entire skin off the carcass intact.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

The inside of the leather was light pink and still warm to the touch. Qin Chuan unfolded the leopard skin and examined it; it was quite large. A three-meter-long clouded leopard pelt, once unfolded, would be enough to make a complete bodysuit, or a short jacket and skirt.

Qin Chuan rolled up the leopard skin and set it aside, then began to process the clouded leopard meat.

[Otherworldly Clouded Leopard. Level 5 ingredient; poor taste, low stat boosts, unsuitable as food.]

"Then forget about it." Qin Chuan decisively abandoned the leopard meat and focused his attention on the other two clouded leopards.

Qin Chuan glanced at the scanned image of the pupil technique.

The signal of the clouded leopard, 300 meters away, is approaching at a moderate speed, probably cautiously investigating the cause of its kind's death.

The other one, 500 meters away, did not move.

Qin Chuan piled the leopard skin and some meat behind the tree roots, stood up straight, and faced the approaching clouded leopard.

Wait until it enters the 100-meter range.

Three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters.

The clouded leopard suddenly sped up. It must have smelled blood.

Qin Chuan could see it now. The silver-gray figure darted swiftly through the trees, its movements agile and silent.

The distance of one hundred meters was quickly reached. The clouded leopard saw the corpse of its kind and wanted to come over to take a look.

Burn the heavens!

The second clouded leopard's head exploded a hundred meters away. Its silver-gray body slid forward a few meters due to inertia before collapsing into a patch of ferns.

Two now.

Qin Chuan quickly ran to the second clouded leopard carcass and swiftly skinned it. Using the same technique, he sliced ​​it open with the bone blade, and the fur was completely removed.

This clouded leopard's fur is slightly darker than the first one, and the cloud pattern is also different, being denser.

Qin Chuan rolled up the second leopard skin, then looked up into the distance.

The signal from the third clouded leopard, 500 meters away, disappeared.

Qin Chuan's heart tightened. There were only two possibilities for the signal to disappear: either it had run out of the 1000-meter scanning range, or it had hidden behind some special cover.

Qin Chuan became more vigilant, and his pupil technique was activated at full power.

After about two minutes, the clouded leopard's signal reappeared. The distance had increased to about 700 meters.

It is retreating deeper into the area.

Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this clouded leopard was quite alert, choosing to retreat after sensing the death of its kind.

Since it's run away, let's not chase it. If we go in and run into a saber-toothed tiger, it'll be troublesome.

Qin Chuan thought for a moment and decided to change direction and go find the remaining clouded leopards.

After moving about three kilometers to the north, they found two lone clouded leopards.

One was gnawing on the remains of something beside a fallen giant tree, while another was basking in the light of a glowing stone on a pile of rocks further away.

Qin Chuan dealt with the one closest to him first.

The same tactic: get within 100 meters, and Burning Sky locks onto the head for a fatal blow.

Qin Chuan quickly peeled off the third skin, then went to find the fourth one.

Using the same method, Qin Chuan hunted five clouded leopards and obtained five animal hides.

But as Qin Chuan ventured deeper into the area, he realized something was amiss.

[800 meters ahead, an otherworldly fire lion, 4 meters long. Capture level: 7. Physical characteristics: Strength 120, Speed ​​78, Defense 95, Health 800. Notes: Covered in fiery mane, physical attacks inflict burning damage.]

Qin Chuan gasped.

Strength 120, Speed ​​78, Defense 95, Health 800. A single "Burning Heaven" attack deals 270 damage, leaving 530 remaining. It takes at least three "Burning Heaven" attacks to kill this thing, with two cooldown periods in between, totaling 80 seconds.

Further away, the pupil technique detected an even more terrifying signal.

[Approximately 950 meters ahead, at the edge of the area, lies a giant lizard from another world, seven meters in length. Capture Level: 8. Physical stats: Strength 155, Speed ​​45, Defense 130, Health 1200.]

Qin Chuan felt a chill run down his spine. 1200 HP, 130 defense. The Heaven-Burning Strike deals 270 damage, and it takes five hits.

A continuous battle lasting more than three minutes, facing a giant lizard with a strength of 155.

I decisively abandoned the idea of ​​going any further.

Qin Chuan began processing the spoils. All five leopard skins had been skinned, each one intact except for burn marks on the head area.

After finishing his work, Qin Chuan found a clean rock to sit down and rest for a while.

About an hour has passed.

[Time to go back. Hmm, wait, I could also summon a cow back with my spirit; I almost forgot about that.]

Qin Chuan reactivated his pupil technique, searching for signals from the otherworldly cow.

The herd of cows they had spotted earlier was about five kilometers behind them. Qin Chuan adjusted his direction and quickly ran towards that location.

Qin Chuan ran for about four or five minutes and arrived near the herd of cows from another world.

Eight cows were scattered across a wide meadow, grazing on the tender grass.

The alien cows are larger than those on Earth, with pure white fur accented by large light brown spots. They have round bellies and strong, sturdy legs. Three of the cows appear visibly swollen, suggesting they are nearing the end of their lactation period.

Qin Chuan stopped about two hundred meters away from the herd of cattle and observed them for a while.

The cows are not aggressive. Their pupil technique indicates they are docile and will choose to flee rather than fight back when threatened.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Chuan decided to use his spirit communication technique to subdue one of them.

The description of the basic summoning spell is: It can summon one spirit beast as a pet, and the spirit beast's health points cannot exceed twice the user's own health points.

Qin Chuan's current health is 90, so twice that would be 180.

The otherworldly cow has 120 HP, no problem.

Qin Chuan used his pupil technique to scan a large cow and carefully examined its information.

[Otherworldly Cow. Capture Level: 4. Food Grade: Common. Physical Characteristics: Strength 38, Speed ​​20, Defense 42, Health 120. Gender: Female. Status: Pregnant but infertile, permanently lactating, daily milk production approximately 7 liters.]

[Note: Due to the influence of the Earth's magnetic field, all mammals on the island will become infertile. To avoid this, you can descend to a depth of 500 meters underground. Lactation does not require waiting; the "conception" takes effect immediately.]

"What?! Pregnant but infertile? Permanent lactation? 'Winning' is instantaneous? Holy crap, I love it!"

"Geomagnetic influence? What kind of place is this? Luckily, I didn't awaken the [Many Children, Many Blessings] system, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have gotten the ultimate reward." Qin Chuan thought to himself.

Qin Chuan began to approach the large, robust cow.

He didn't run; instead, he walked slowly towards them. Moving too quickly would frighten the cattle, and if they ran away, it would be troublesome.

When they were fifty meters away, several cows raised their heads and let out a few low moos.

Qin Chuan slowed his pace, stretched out his hands, palms down, in a soothing gesture.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Cows, of course, don't understand human speech. But Qin Chuan's movements were steady, showing no aggression.

The cattle were on guard for a while, but seeing that Qin Chuan didn't seem to be charging at them, they gradually relaxed.

Qin Chuan walked to the sixth cow, about three meters away.

The cow tilted its head and looked at Qin Chuan, still chewing grass in its mouth, its two big eyes watery, looking completely harmless.

Qin Chuan silently chanted in his mind: Spirit Communication Technique.

A strange power surged from the depths of Qin Chuan's consciousness, flowing along his arm and enveloping the cow.

That power was invisible and intangible, but Qin Chuan could clearly sense its existence.

It's like an invisible thread extending from one's own mind, trying to establish a connection with the cow's consciousness.

The cow's body trembled.

It raised its head, pawed the ground uneasily with its four hooves, and looked confused.

Qin Chuan concentrated his mind and continuously channeled the power of his spirit communication technique.

The connection is being established. He can vaguely sense some information from the cows: hunger, a sense of security, and curiosity about unfamiliar smells.

The connection was established after about ten seconds.

A notification popped up in Qin Chuan's mind.

[Summoning spell successfully activated! A spirit beast contract has been established with the target. Spirit beast information: Otherworldly cow (female). Health: 120/120. Loyalty: Initial. Can issue simple commands.]

The cow's eyes changed.

It stopped its restlessness and stood quietly in place, its two big eyes looking at Qin Chuan, its tail slowly swishing a few times.

Qin Chuan tried giving it a command in his mind: "Come here."

The cow took four steps and slowly walked up to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan reached out and touched the cow's head. The cow's hair was coarse and stiff, but there was a soft spot on its forehead that felt quite nice to the touch.

"Goodness, that's really obedient."

Qin Chuan tried a few more commands: "Stop," "Turn around," and "Sit down."

The cow performed every action perfectly, albeit at an incredibly slow pace.

Especially the instruction to "sit down".

The cow bent its hind legs and its front legs, and its huge body slowly squatted down.

Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

Right now, I have five leopard skins, elk meat, and a magical cow—that's quite a lot.

Qin Chuan piled all five leopard skins and meat onto the cow's back. The cow's back was broad and flat, more than enough to carry all that stuff.

Qin Chuan then climbed on top of him.

A cow's back is much wider than a horse's, so sitting on it is very comfortable.

"Let's go back."

The cow started walking, slowly heading back the way it came.

The speed... well, it's not fast at all. A cow's speed is only 20, which is roughly equivalent to a normal person jogging. A distance of over ten kilometers would take quite a while to cover.

Qin Chuan leaned against the broad back of the cow, scanning the surroundings with his pupil technique as he traveled.

The return journey was quite peaceful. When the low-level beasts saw the cow carrying a person approaching, they all hid at a distance.

After walking for about forty minutes, Qin Chuan finally returned to the area near the entrance to the underground forest.

From afar, he could hear the chattering and laughter.
