Chapter 12 – Rifle Blueprints

The Supply Crate opened, and Xiao Wuwang continuously retrieved the items inside.

Xiao Wuwang obtained: Infinite Coins20, Train Upgrade Shard2, Wood100, Iron50, Self-Heating Pot5, Autumn Leaf Blade1, QBU-191 Precision Rifle Blueprint*1.

The Level 1 Supply Crate was significantly richer than the Level 0 one, with resources more than doubled and the items obtained being even more valuable!

Especially that QBU-191 Precision Rifle Blueprint—Xiao Wuwang checked it several times, still unable to conceal his shock.

Looking closely, the detailed information of the blueprint also appeared:

【QBU-191 Precision Rifle Blueprint】

Level: 0

——————

Xiao Wuwang wasn’t afraid of its low Level, because he could use his Talent to upgrade it!

After all, he already had a Crafting Station in hand. As long as he gathered the resources, he could craft the QBU-191 Precision Rifle!

Firearms like guns were still very practical in the early stages.

He really wanted to upgrade the blueprint right now, but he suppressed the impulse. He still needed to conserve some stamina to continue gathering resources here.

First, he spent 10 Infinite Coins to Activate the second upgrade Privilege, increasing the Platform Docking Time by 1 hour. This left him with about two and a half hours remaining at this Station Site.

Xiao Wuwang began walking toward the dense forest.

He didn’t choose to chop trees.

His stamina wasn’t very sufficient now. If it weren’t for rushing to upgrade earlier, he wouldn’t have started chopping trees right after getting off the train.

Besides Wood resources, the dense forest also contained some wild animals or wild fruits, all of which were sources of food.

He hadn’t forgotten that many people who couldn’t obtain food this afternoon and evening would frantically beg to buy food in the chat area.

By then, he could completely exchange food for resources.

So, overall, gathering food not only saved more stamina but was also more efficient.

He had a gun in hand, so even if he encountered a large animal, he wouldn’t be afraid.

With a plan in mind, he briskly dashed into the dense forest.

Entering the dense forest, the surrounding light instantly dimmed due to the shade of the leaves, but Xiao Wuwang quickly adapted to such lighting.

The dense forest was also extremely quiet. Apart from the occasional sound of wind, there was only Xiao Wuwang’s footsteps.

He hadn’t ventured far when suddenly a faint rustling sound caught his attention.

Xiao Wuwang paused briefly. After confirming the direction of the sound, he immediately headed toward it.

Finally, through the dense branches and leaves, Xiao Wuwang discovered the source of the sound—a medium-sized wild boar was rooting in the grass, seemingly searching for food.

This wild boar was covered in coarse brown bristles, with two tusks protruding from the corners of its mouth, gleaming coldly, appearing particularly fierce.

Xiao Wuwang felt a surge of joy. Wild boars were a good source of food; killing one would yield a considerable amount of wild boar meat.

Currently, he was still over a hundred meters away from the wild boar. Even though this Beretta pistol had been modified and enhanced, with an effective range of about seventy to eighty meters, he needed to get closer to inflict significant damage.

Xiao Wuwang carefully lightened his footsteps, slowly approaching the wild boar.

As the distance gradually closed, Xiao Wuwang could more clearly observe the wild boar’s every move.

The wild boar seemed completely unaware of the approaching danger, still intently rooting through the grass, occasionally emitting satisfied grunts.

When the distance closed to about fifty meters, Xiao Wuwang halted his steps.

Then, he steadily raised the Beretta pistol in his hand, his gaze firmly locked onto the boar’s head.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Xiao Wuwang fired two consecutive shots at the boar’s head.

Both bullets struck the boar’s skull with precision. Two bursts of blood mist erupted, and the boar collapsed to the ground without much struggle!

Xiao Wuwang approached the boar. Not wanting to bother with processing it himself, he directly stored the boar’s corpse into his Portable Space.

Then, he issued a command to the Portable Space—Break Down.

In an instant, the entire boar was divided into pieces of ready-to-eat pork.

Having the space break it down was quick, but the loss was significant.

This boar weighed roughly over 100 kilograms. After breaking it down, Xiao Wuwang only obtained nearly 50 kilograms of pork.

A loss of over half!

If he had processed it himself, he probably could have gained an extra ten to twenty kilograms of pork.

But Xiao Wuwang had no intention of wasting precious time on butchering a boar. Even if he freed up time to do nothing, allowing himself to recover more stamina, he could use that time to upgrade more items. The benefits gained would far outweigh those from butchering a boar.

Xiao Wuwang continued deeper into the dense forest. Encountering small animals like pheasants and hares, he didn’t waste his precious bullets. Instead, he used small stones picked up from the ground, throwing them at the animals.

Firearms Mastery gave him fairly accurate aim. The small animals he encountered mostly failed to escape his grasp.

One after another, wild animals were killed by Xiao Wuwang, then converted into meat and stored in his Portable Space.

Finally, when only about ten minutes of Docking Time remained, Xiao Wuwang stopped hunting and headed back toward the train.

The journey back was uneventful. He successfully returned to the train a minute or two before the Docking Time reached zero.

As soon as he boarded, he couldn’t help but slump onto a seat in the train carriage.

He was utterly exhausted!

Checking his Fatigue Points, sure enough, they had dropped to 15!

This trip had been tiring, but the harvest was quite substantial.

Setting aside the gains from the lumberyard and the Supply Crate, the meat he acquired later amounted to over four hundred kilograms!

Including 150 kilograms of wild boar meat, 120 kilograms of pheasant meat, and 130 kilograms of hare meat.

Used wisely, this batch of meat might be able to trade for a fair amount of resources for him.

After resting briefly, Xiao Wuwang fought back his nausea and drank three more spoonfuls of Crimson Flame Bear blood.

Crimson Flame Bear blood not only enhanced attributes but also rapidly restored Fatigue Points.

Although drinking the Crimson Flame Bear’s blood directly was somewhat wasteful, he couldn’t find any ingredients or Medicinal Herbs in the short term to assist in processing the Crimson Flame Bear’s flesh and blood. Moreover, being in a critical period now, he was unwilling to pass up any opportunity to improve his strength.

After drinking the blood, the message that the train was about to Depart Station finally echoed in his mind.

[Ding!]

[The train’s Docking Time is about to end. Please board the train, Train Conductor. Missing the Depart Station time will result in Erasure!]

[10]

[9]

…

[1]

[0]

[Train departing!]

The sound of “Clatter clatter” rang out as the train slowly started moving.

Soon, ripples appeared in the space, and the train plunged into the mist.

Outside turned gray and hazy once more, that oppressive feeling sweeping over him again.

His Fatigue Points were too low, and Xiao Wuwang had no intention of moving at all, so he opened the System Panel.

First, he located the Trading House.

The Trading House function could only be unlocked after the train reached Level 1.

Players could use the Trading House to list items they wanted to sell and set transaction rules, greatly facilitating player trades.

Now, Xiao Wuwang planned to exchange the unused resources he had on hand for upgrade materials.
