Double Efficiency, Hunting in the Mountains!

The mechanical voice echoed in Wang Xuan's mind.

Buzz!

Wang Xuan felt a portion of archery knowledge appear in his mind.

It was as if he were a seasoned hunter of many years, his understanding of archery reaching a whole new level!

At the same time, his body began to feel scorching hot.

His entire Blood Essence started to boil, continuously washing over his body!

His body was being reshaped and strengthened by this flow of Blood Essence!

In less than a minute, Wang Xuan felt a surge of energy throughout his entire being!

All fatigue vanished in an instant!

His internal Blood Essence felt like it was surging and roaring!

"This feeling... is amazing!"

"And I actually gained two effects at once!"

Wang Xuan was filled with pleasant surprise.

This archery initiation not only made his body stronger but also granted him two effects simultaneously!

It was truly an unexpected joy!

These two effects were like a godsend for him right now!

Sure Shot!

At a hundred meters, a hundred percent hit rate on the target!

Double Efficiency!

Strengthens the learning state, doubling learning efficiency!!

Wang Xuan's mind stirred, and the Crimson Panel appeared before his eyes.

Name: Wang Xuan
Strength: 80 kg
Cultivation: None
Effects: Sure Shot (Effective within 100 meters), Double Efficiency (Enter state in 3 seconds, learning effect doubled)
Techniques: None
Skills: Basic Archery (Minor Accomplishment 1/400), Basic Knife Technique (Initiate 25/200), Basic Trapping (Initiate 56/200)
Attribute Points: 1 (Available)

Wang Xuan looked at his Crimson Panel, his gaze lingering on the "Attribute Points" section.

"Attribute Points..."

"This thing can directly increase my physical strength, and even improve techniques, cultivation, and so on."

"But for now, this one attribute point isn't enough to improve techniques or other things; I can only focus on strength and other aspects."

"Crimson, allocate points!"

Wang Xuan didn't hesitate and directly added the attribute point to Strength.

His current body was too weak, not even comparable to an adult.

With an increase in strength, his physique would also improve, and the strength required to draw a bow would increase.

Your strength has increased, current strength 110 kg.

Instantly!

His body surged again!

Washing over his flesh, blood, muscles, and bones, a low thunderous sound could faintly be heard!

Wang Xuan's expression suddenly changed, his face flushed red, and steam rose from the top of his head.

After a moment, his complexion gradually returned to normal.

The Blood Essence within him calmed down.

"One attribute point actually increased my strength by 30 kg!"

Wang Xuan was pleasantly surprised.

He had been sickly since childhood. Although he was already eighteen, his physique was still far inferior to others his age.

But in just one day, he could feel that his physique had recovered to the level of a normal adult.

His original height of 1.76 meters had grown to 1.78 meters.

His slender limbs had become strong and powerful with the increase in strength!

Exuding a robust feeling.

Wang Xuan exhaled a breath of stale air, immediately retrieved the bow and arrow he had just shot, and nocked another arrow.

He took a deep breath, calming himself.

Effect activated!

Double Efficiency!

Sure Shot!

Hum!

The draw length of the bowstring increased by nearly double!

The next second!

The arrow shot out explosively!

With a bang, the immense force directly pierced the tree trunk!

[Your Basic Archery gained experience +3, Minor Accomplishment progress 4/400.]

Seeing the progress increase by 3 points at once, a bright smile spread across Wang Xuan's face.

"As expected of the dual effects, it's hard not to improve with such buffs!"

Wang Xuan continued to nock and shoot arrows.

Under the enhancement of the Double Efficiency and Sure Shot effects, Wang Xuan was like an archer who had immersed himself in archery for many years, each arrow easily piercing the tree trunk!

[Basic Archery experience +3, Minor Accomplishment progress 7/400.]

[Basic Archery improved +3, Minor Accomplishment progress 10/400.]

Basic Archery improved rapidly under the enhancement of the two effects.

It wasn't until an hour later, when Wang Xuan was almost exhausted, that he finally put down his bow and arrow.

Wang Xuan glanced at the panel.

[Basic Archery: Minor Accomplishment progress 189/400]

"It's already reached Minor Accomplishment. If I practice diligently for another day tomorrow, I might be able to reach Major Accomplishment in Basic Archery."

"But it's almost time to repay the money in two days, tomorrow..."

"I must go into the mountains!"

Wang Xuan took a deep breath, put away his bow and arrow, returned to the courtyard, took a cold shower, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Wang Xuan woke up early and began to exercise, preparing to enter the mountains.

His whole body was sore after practicing archery yesterday, but after a night's rest, his muscle soreness had completely disappeared.

"Perhaps... this is a perk of transmigration."

Wang Xuan chuckled and packed his hunting bow, arrows, hunting knife, and other equipment.

"Brother Shi, the rations and water are ready."

"Are you really going into the mountains?"

Sister-in-law Lu Yao walked over, holding bamboo tubes filled with water and rations.

Looking at Wang Xuan, she asked with worry on her face.

Wang Xuan replied, "Sister-in-law, it's almost time to repay the money in two days. I have to go into the mountains today, otherwise Zhou Bapi won't let us off."

"But your body..."

Lu Yao bit her lip and said, "Brother Shi, your body has just recovered. If you rush into the mountains like this, I'm afraid something will go wrong."

"If it doesn't work out, I'll go find Master Zhou tomorrow."

"Even if I become his concubine, I won't let him hurt you..."

Wang Xuan interrupted Lu Yao and said sternly, "Sister-in-law, don't mention that again. I've said it before, I will never watch you jump into a fire pit!"

"After I woke up yesterday, my body is no longer as weak as before. Believe me, I can take care of you!"

As he spoke, Wang Xuan took the bamboo tubes and rations, hung them on his waist, slung his hunting bow and thirteen arrows over his back, and walked towards Blackwind Mountain behind them.

"Brother Shi, be careful."

"Come back early."

Watching Wang Xuan's retreating figure, Lu Yao's eyes turned red, tears streaming down her face as she shouted at him.

Wang Xuan waved his hand at her without looking back and quickly disappeared.

The outskirts of Blackwind Mountain.

Wang Xuan carried his bow and arrows, bent his body, held a hunting knife in his hand, and moved forward cautiously, searching for prey according to the hunting methods he remembered.

Blackwind Mountain was vast, with monsters lurking in its depths. Thus, Wang Xuan chose to hunt only on its outskirts.

[You set a trap, Basic Trapping experience +2!]

[You set a trap, Basic Trapping improved +2!]

[...]

[Basic Trapping: Novice progress 71/200]

While searching for prey, Wang Xuan set traps using branches and weeds, following the hunting techniques taught by his father.

He didn't expect to catch large game, but even a sparrow or a wild rabbit would be acceptable.

At the very least, it could be sold for some money.

[Tracking Art: Novice 1/200]

As Wang Xuan meticulously searched for prey, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind, startling him.

"I can learn skills like this too?"

"Good, good, good! It seems I'm a born hunter!"

With a strange expression, he intensified his search.

It was already late autumn, and many animals were beginning to hibernate.

Furthermore, with tax season approaching, more hunters were entering the mountains. This included not only those from Wang Xuan's Whitestone Village but also from surrounding villages.

Finding prey under these circumstances was proving difficult.

Half an hour later, both Wang Xuan's Basic Trapping and Tracking Art had improved significantly.

[Basic Trapping: Novice 115/200]

[Tracking Art: Novice 90/200]

Despite the improvements in both skills, Wang Xuan couldn't bring himself to be happy.

He had found nothing in the past half hour. Forget wild chickens or rabbits; he hadn't even managed to catch a sparrow.

Wang Xuan frowned, a surge of frustration welling up inside him.

"Am I going to return empty-handed today..."

Wang Xuan sighed inwardly.

If he couldn't catch anything to sell for money to pay off his debts, Zhou Bapi would surely not let them off the hook!

The man even employed Martial Practitioners. With his current physique, Wang Xuan knew he couldn't possibly fight them.

Just as Wang Xuan was feeling agitated and about to sit on a rock to rest, a flattened patch of grass nearby caught his attention.

Wang Xuan's eyebrows shot up, and he immediately moved closer.

He saw a circular footprint, about a third of the size of a palm, pressed into the flattened grass and soil. Beside the footprint were some fresh droppings.

Looking at the footprint and droppings, a look of surprise flashed in Wang Xuan's eyes.

"This is... a wild rabbit!"

"It must be!"

Energized as if he'd had a shot of adrenaline, Wang Xuan quickly took out his bow and arrows, following the tracks of the wild rabbit from the footprint.

Not long after.

On a distant hillside, a plump wild rabbit, weighing over ten pounds, appeared in Wang Xuan's sight.

Wang Xuan's eyes lit up!

"It really is a wild rabbit!"

"What a fat one! This will definitely sell for a good price!"
