The Strong Man Player grinned when he saw it was Wang Yu.
"Kid, I didn't expect to run into you here. I was just looking for you."
Wang Yu: "Why are you looking for me?"
Strong Man: "Hand over everything in your [Backpack]."
As he spoke, the Strong Man brandished the Entrenching Tool in his hand, preparing to attack Wang Yu.
The Strong Man was extremely arrogant, trying to rob him on sight.
Wang Yu: "?"
At this moment, Wang Yu understood the source of the Strong Man's arrogance.
He saw the Strong Man was wearing a set of vine armor, with only his two eyes visible, and he was holding a huge Wooden Shield in his hand.
This equipment...
His Crossbow would likely not be able to pierce the opponent's vine armor.
Wang Yu understood and said, "After we last met, you prepared this set of equipment just to defend against my Crossbow?"
Strong Man: "Haha, that's right."
"Kid, you can see it too. With this equipment on me, your broken Crossbow can't hurt me at all."
"Quickly hand over the things in your [Backpack]. You took the 'Newbie Benefit' here too, didn't you? Hand it all over to me."
"You'd better be sensible, or when I catch you..."
As he spoke, the Strong Man charged towards Wang Yu.
Wang Yu shook his head. As the saying goes, those who dig their own grave cannot live.
"Summon Giant Stone Technique."
Wang Yu's mind stirred, and a Big Stone suddenly appeared above the Strong Man's head, then fell.
"Ah~"
Wang Yu heard the Strong Man's terrified scream.
"Bang~"
A Big Stone, three meters high and two meters wide, directly crushed the Strong Man, then smashed onto the ground with a loud bang.
And then, there was no "then."
The strong man was directly crushed to the ground and disappeared.
Wang Yu walked over to check, and there were no traces of the strong man left on the ground.
The big stone was too large. Wang Yu tried to push it, but the big stone didn't budge.
"What a pity~"
Wang Yu also wanted the items in the strong man's [Backpack]. With the big stone pressing down, he couldn't get the strong man's things.
He wondered if killing a player would drop items.
Afterward.
Wang Yu looked at the [Game Map]. The 'Newbie Benefit' icon, 13.7 kilometers away from him, was still there.
Calculating the time, Wang Yu felt that if he went there now, he definitely wouldn't get the 'Newbie Benefit'. There should be many players near that 'Newbie Benefit'. If he went there in two to three hours, it would be too late.
In the end, Wang Yu could only give up and prepare to return to the Shelter.
Wang Yu hadn't walked far when he saw another light ahead.
"So fast."
Wang Yu was greatly surprised and found the light rapidly approaching him.
Soon, Wang Yu clearly saw who it was. It was the female player from upstream of the creek.
The female player was not holding a cat. Instead, she was riding a Silver White Big Cat, a majestic big cat two to three meters long, a whole circle bigger than a tiger.
Had the cat grown bigger?
Wang Yu warily watched the woman on the cat's back, ready to use the 'Summon Giant Stone Technique' at any moment.
However, the woman just glanced at Wang Yu, then turned and rode the big cat away.
The woman left very quickly, in the direction of the 'Newbie Benefit' icon 13.7 kilometers away.
Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and continued on his way back to the Shelter.
After more than two hours, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Yu returned to the creek near the Shelter.
Wang Yu didn't go directly back to the Shelter. He was going to check the 12 traps. He had left in a hurry in the morning and hadn't checked the traps. Now that he had returned after getting the 'Newbie Benefit', he naturally had to check the 12 traps.
Soon, Wang Yu finished checking the 12 traps.
[Wild Rat Meat 360g]
[Wild Rat Skin * 1]
[63 Copper Coins]
Another 12 traps caught 3 Wild Rats.
Wang Yu obtained 360*3 Wild Rat Meat, 3 Wild Rat Skins, and 189 Copper Coins.
It was another great harvest.
Compared to the previous few days, this was extremely unusual. Could this be a benefit before the end of the Newbie Period?
After placing Water Snail Meat as bait in the 12 traps again, Wang Yu returned to the Shelter.
Passing by the forest, Wang Yu released the remaining three Big Stones from the dice.
Two of them were used to press down the two remaining tree stumps from yesterday that hadn't been covered by Big Stones. The remaining Big Stone, Wang Yu placed about twenty to thirty meters away from the Shelter.
The Shelter's first line of defense was a large Loose Rock Maze in the forest. The second line of defense was a 'Fence' Wang Yu planned to build around the Shelter.
After releasing the three Big Stones, Wang Yu returned to the Shelter.
It was noon now. Wang Yu started a fire in the First Floor fireplace and began preparing lunch.
Wang Yu planned to eat Roasted Mutton for lunch.
Now that he had Salt, the Roasted Mutton would taste even better.
At the same time, Wang Yu took out today's harvest: two packs of Edible Salt (200g*2), 20 White Rabbit Creamy Candies (3.6g*20), and 5 Amoxicillin Capsules.
Wang Yu intended to use the dice to increase the quantity of these items. After increasing their quantities, the White Rabbit Creamy Candies would be stored as strategic supplies, the Amoxicillin Capsules would greatly guarantee his safety, and the Edible Salt would elevate his quality of life.
There were also two Poison Fangs. Wang Yu took them out and placed them aside. He would coat his Crossbow Arrows with the poison later when he had free time.
In the future, when he encountered armored Players like the Strong Man, he only needed to hit them. The poison would still kill them.
The Mutton Skewers were grilled and sprinkled with Salt. The Mutton Skewers tasted so much better.
"Delicious."
After finishing lunch, Wang Yu did not rest.
The game prompt stated that it would start raining at Midnight tonight and continue for seven consecutive days.
Wang Yu understood. This was an extreme Natural Disaster in the wilderness.
He had to prepare.
Opening the 'Weather Forecast', Wang Yu saw that it would be Heavy Rain for the next seven days.
Seven days of Heavy Rain. Wang Yu couldn't imagine it.
Flood, mudslides, and shelter leaks were all things Wang Yu had to guard against.
As for floods, Wang Yu had considered them when building the shelter. The shelter was built in a relatively high location, and there were no steep slopes nearby, so there was no risk of mudslides.
What Wang Yu needed to consider was the possibility of the shelter leaking or flooding.
Climbing the stairs, Wang Yu reached the top of the giant stones. He inspected the giant stones around the shelter.
There was still a risk of seepage at the connection points of the four giant stones, and the top of the shelter was not yet sealed. The roofing of the shelter could be done today. The firewood on the second floor was already fully stored, and the original plan was to seal the shelter soon.
Wang Yu had already found the large stone slabs for roofing the shelter. They were by the creek not far away. With large stone slabs to seal the shelter, leaks would be impossible.
Wang Yu didn't need to worry about the shelter's rooftop. He only needed to consider the risk of seepage at the connection points of the four giant stones.
