Extreme Night Wilderness Survival: Boulder

He closed the chat window.

Wang Yu took out three animal traps from his [Backpack]. Of course, he wasn't going to trade them directly to Zhang Dahai.

He went to the stream, found a vine, threaded the three animal traps together with it, and tied them tight.

It was past Three PM now. Six Hours had passed since he had last used the Dice in Right Hand, so he could once again Use Dice to Increase the Quantity of Items.

Wang Yu opened his right hand, and an egg-sized dice appeared in his palm. The dots on every face had returned to gold.

At the same time, Wang Yu picked up the three animal traps threaded together with vines in his left hand and silently thought, Increase the quantity of this string of animal traps.

Then Wang Yu felt the string of animal traps in his hand become locked on. He immediately threw the Dice in Right Hand.

The dice instantly spun in midair.

A moment later, the dice stopped.

Four Points.

Wang Yu Rolled a Four.

Four Light Balls appeared on the dice, each one the phantom image of a string of animal traps.

At Wang Yu's command, four strings of animal traps appeared on the ground.

Not bad luck. He had actually rolled Four Points.

His animal traps had increased by four strings, meaning 12 more animal traps.

He now had a total of 15 animal traps.

Threading the animal traps together and then using the dice to Increase Quantity was a method Wang Yu had figured out for using the dice.

If he didn't thread the animal traps together, the dice could only lock onto one animal trap and increase the quantity by one.

But if he tied the animal traps together, the dice could increase the quantity of an entire string of animal traps.

If animal traps were tied together with other items, the dice couldn't lock onto them to Increase Quantity.

Only identical items placed together could have their quantity increased with the dice.

Now that Wang Yu had 15 animal traps, he sent Zhang Dahai a Trade Request.

Zhang Dahai sent him a message after receiving the Trade Request.

[Zhang Dahai: Are you sure you want to trade?]

[Wang Yu: I'm sure.]

[Zhang Dahai: All right. If I catch fish later, I'll repay you.]

[Wang Yu: Let's begin the trade.]

A moment later, Wang Yu saw what Zhang Dahai had put up for trade: a crossbow and Three Arrows.

Wang Yu carefully inspected the items the other party had listed, then clicked confirm.

In an instant, a forty-centimeter crossbow and three arrows over twenty centimeters long appeared in Wang Yu's hands.

"Hahaha~"

Wang Yu felt that his luck was unbelievably good. He had actually gotten a crossbow.

Looking at a sapling seven or eight meters away by the river, Wang Yu stood up. He drew the bowstring, loaded an arrow, aimed at the sapling, and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh~"

"Thud~"

The arrow, over twenty centimeters long, shot out with a whoosh and embedded itself solidly in the sapling's trunk with a thud.

"Too Powerful."

It was his first time using a bow or crossbow. This was the real deal.

This crossbow was the most primitive type of wooden-rack crossbow, but it still had an effective killing range of over Ten Meters.

Having obtained such an Ultimate Weapon put Wang Yu in a great mood. His safety in the wilderness had increased significantly.

Still, Wang Yu regretted not trading for Zhang Dahai's Fishing Net. Otherwise, he could have caught fish in the stream.

[Wang Yu: If you never find a place to fish, contact me anytime. I'll trade you something for the fishing net.]

[Zhang Dahai: If I can't find anywhere to fish, I'll give you the fishing net before I die.]

[Wang Yu: ...]

He closed the chat window.

Besides Zhang Dahai, it seemed he could also trade tools with Other Players.

So Wang Yu checked the messages in the [Chat Channel].

He searched around but couldn't find anyone willing to trade a Fishing Net.

However, one player had chosen a [Camping Pot] at the start. Wang Yu sent them a Friend Request, but they never accepted it.

After putting the crossbow into his [Backpack], Wang Yu drank some Boiling Water several times and was more or less rested.

Wang Yu continued searching along the stream for a suitable place to build a shelter.

After searching for over Half an Hour, Wang Yu found several decent spots, but none felt perfect. Building a shelter was crucial, and he couldn't settle. Wang Yu wanted to keep looking.

Suddenly, Wang Yu spotted green leaves ahead. They were strange, growing directly from the ground.

Wang Yu walked over and took a look. Succulents?

They looked far too much like the succulents on Blue Star.

Wang Yu touched one with his hand, and Just Then, a message Popped Out.

[Green Mushroom]

[Contains Paralysis Toxin. Not edible.]

After seeing the message, Wang Yu immediately pulled back his hand.

"Damn it."

This was probably some kind of mushroom or fungus.

Since he couldn't eat it, Wang Yu lost interest. Just Then, he saw a hillside ahead.

Since it was uphill, Wang Yu had to go take a look.

The slope wasn't very steep, with scattered trees growing on it. Wang Yu walked upward, and after two minutes, he saw a forest higher up ahead.

Never enter a forest casually. That was an old rule of the martial world.

Wang Yu urgently needed to find high ground to build a shelter, so he could only carefully make his way up to take a look.

By the time he reached the forest, the terrain had become much flatter.

There were many Big Trees in this forest. The ground between them was covered with fallen leaves rather than dense weeds, so Wang Yu Decided to continue forward.

After walking for a Few Minutes, a Rocky Area blocked his path. Upon inspection, Wang Yu found that the entire area was covered in rocks of varying sizes, thick moss covering their surfaces and weeds growing densely between them.

It looked like he couldn't continue forward. He could only walk along the outer edge of the Rocky Area. After walking for a short while, Wang Yu's eyes lit up. He saw a boulder ahead.

Wang Yu hurried over.

Using the Torch for light, Wang Yu examined the boulder.

The boulder was very tall, standing out like a crane among chickens here. Wang Yu circled it once, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Wang Yu stopped. He decided to build his shelter here.

So Wang Yu moved stones from nearby and arranged them into a Fire Basin. Then he took firewood from his [Backpack] and lit a Fire Pit.

With the Fire Pit going, Wang Yu raised his Torch and examined the boulder once more.

The boulder was very tall. Wang Yu opened the wristband on his hand and found the "Measuring Tool" in the [Private Channel]. The "Measuring Tool" could weigh objects and measure their length.

Wang Yu wanted to use the "Measuring Tool" to measure the boulder's height.

He aimed his wristband at the boulder and scanned it, and the boulder's height data Appeared.

The boulder's highest point was 5.4 meters.

The boulder was square in shape and had four Stone Walls. Wang Yu measured the widths of the four Stone Walls. Their respective longest widths were 5.3 meters, 5.9 meters, 6.5 meters, and 7.1 meters.

"Not bad, not bad."

Wang Yu was very satisfied with this boulder. With it, building a shelter would be much easier.

He still needed to carefully consider how to use the boulder to build a shelter. The design concept was very important; only a good idea could create a good shelter.

Wang Yu came to the 5.3-meter-wide Stone Wall. Its surface was relatively flat, with only minor uneven spots. Wang Yu wanted to use this Stone Wall to build his shelter.

However, this Stone Wall had two small flaws. First, it was only 5.3 meters wide, making it the narrowest of the boulder's four Stone Walls.

The other flaw was a large gap in its upper left corner. This was because the 7.1-meter-wide Stone Wall on its left was a lot shorter than the other Stone Walls.

The other Stone Walls were 5.4 meters tall, while this one was only 4.1 meters tall, a full 1.3 meters shorter.

This shorter section extended into the upper left corner of the 5.3-meter-wide Stone Wall, spanning roughly 0.7 meters. Such a gap, 1.3 meters high and 0.7 meters wide, ruined the integrity of the 5.3-meter-wide Stone Wall.
