Looking at the messages in the Chat Channel, a faint smile appeared on Han Xing's lips.
Sure enough, humanity's ability to adapt was strong. After a day had passed, everyone had more or less accepted the fact that they had arrived in a completely new world.
He closed the local network. Sleepiness washed over him, and in the warmth, Han Xing sank into a deep sleep...
However, before he had slept for long, Han Xing was suddenly awakened by a friend message.
It was from Shen Yun.
Shen Yun: "Xing Ge, are you asleep?"
"Yeah, I just fell asleep not long ago," Han Xing replied.
"Uh..." Shen Yun seemed a little embarrassed as he apologized, "Sorry, Xing Ge."
Han Xing laughed and scolded him, "What are you apologizing for? Back when we were in the dorm, did you guys ever disturb my sleep any less?"
Shen Yun laughed heartily. "That's true. But come to think of it, you two interrupted my sleep even more, didn't you?"
"Really? I forgot, haha." Han Xing changed the subject. "What did you need me for?"
Shen Yun said, "Nothing much. I found something just now and wanted to show you."
"Hm? What is it?" Han Xing was curious.
For Shen Yun to contact him so eagerly in the middle of the night, it had to be good stuff.
Shen Yun directly sent a trade request.
Then Han Xing saw him place a white book into the trade window, with the words "Dual Shot" printed on it.
"A Skill Book!" Han Xing recognized it at once, and his heart was filled with shock!
"Yeah, and it's for the Hunter class. I figured you could use it," Shen Yun said cheerfully.
Han Xing fell silent for a moment.
At this stage, Skill Books were even rarer than equipment and blueprints.
Although it was only a basic skill for one of the five major classes, everyone currently only knew basic weapon proficiency and could do nothing more in combat than simple chopping and slashing.
The value of a Skill Book was even higher than his Space Backpack.
"Xing Ge, hurry and take it." Shen Yun urged him, then directly confirmed the trade.
Han Xing accepted, and the trade was completed.
Obtained Skill Book: Dual Shot (Hunter Exclusive)
"Thank you," Han Xing said solemnly.
With this skill, Han Xing's strength would rise to another level.
"Why are you being so polite? Didn't you give me a backpack too?"
Han Xing said no more. He knew Shen Yun was that kind of person. If he accepted something from someone else, he might not say it aloud, but he would remember it firmly and repay it the first chance he had.
It was not being distant or unfeeling, but a principle of how he conducted himself. Even between close brothers, accounts had to be kept clear. No matter how good the relationship was, one side could not always be the one giving.
Cheng Jianyong was the same way. That was also why Han Xing was willing to be friends with them.
At that moment, Han Xing said, "It's getting late. You should get some rest too."
Shen Yun laughed. "Xing Ge, I want to sleep too, but I can't!"
"You can't sleep?" Han Xing asked doubtfully.
"That's right."
Shen Yun said somewhat sheepishly, "Because I'm too excited! I never imagined there would be a day when I could escape repetitive work and get away from that dull life. Just like I always imagined, starting over in another world."
"Xing Ge, maybe you think there's something wrong with my head, but this is what I truly feel inside."
"This world may be unsafe, and I could even lose my life at any moment, but only now do I feel like I'm truly alive..."
After ending his chat with Shen Yun, Han Xing went back to sleep.
The next day.
When Han Xing opened his eyes, the sun was already high in the sky.
Going by Blue Star time, it was probably past ten o'clock.
At that moment, he suddenly understood what Shen Yun had meant.
Yeah. Ever since entering the workforce, had he ever slept until he woke naturally like he had today?
Every day, he was jolted awake by the same repetitive alarm. Even on holidays, he was constantly harassed by calls from clients and supervisors.
Just as Han Xing was sighing over it, his expression suddenly changed.
"Damn, I need to take a shit!"
The first thing he did after waking up each morning was clear his bowels. It was a habit Han Xing had always maintained.
He quickly stood up and made a circuit around his Sky Island Territory, but he could not find a suitable spot.
By then, his face was already turning red from holding it in.
"Damn it, I can't hold it anymore. I'll just do it here!"
Han Xing quickly dug a hole in the soil at the edge of his territory.
A moment later, Han Xing let out a long sigh...
After taking care of this major matter, Han Xing dusted off his hands and stood up.
Just then, a System Prompt appeared.
Fertilization successful. This plot of land will provide more nutrients for crops.
"???"
Han Xing's face was full of question marks.
Fuck, now there was fertilizing too.
Han Xing shook his head. Forget it. He could not be bothered to think about such details.
Because he now had another major matter in life to resolve.
That was eating.
He had eaten berries all day yesterday, and his mouth was practically tasteless by now. He desperately wanted some meat.
So Han Xing took out two pieces of flint, then pulled out two pieces of wood.
Click!
With a light strike between the two flints, sparks scattered onto the wood, setting it alight before long.
At the center of his territory, Han Xing built a campfire and continuously fed it firewood.
Once the flames had grown stronger, he took a small piece of wolf meat from his backpack, skewered it directly on an arrow, and placed it over the fire to roast.
More than ten minutes later, the aroma of grilled meat began to spread.
Only once the wolf meat had been roasted golden brown, with golden oil seeping from its surface, did Han Xing wrap the end of the arrow in a piece of animal hide and remove the meat.
The rich scent of meat entered his nose, and Han Xing took a deep breath.
"Hiss! Smells amazing!"
He immediately dug in.
The wolf meat was chewy, and every bite needed to be chewed for a long time before it could be swallowed.
At that moment, Han Xing could not help thinking that it would be nice to have some seasonings.
After finishing one piece, he took out several iron arrows and continued grilling meat.
As he grilled, he opened the regional channel and found more than a hundred private messages waiting for him.
He had listed three items on the Trading Channel. Aside from the Wooden Longbow, there was also an excellent-quality refined iron longbow and a Space Backpack.
Every one of them was incredibly precious at this stage, so they had attracted many survivors.
He casually opened a few messages.
"Bro, are you selling the Space Backpack? I'll trade you fertile soil for it."
"Boss, can I trade 1 unit of water for the refined iron longbow?"
"Handsome, can you give the Space Backpack to me..."
After looking through them, Han Xing was speechless.
So far, none of their offers were anything he wanted.
Still, it had only been one day. That was understandable.
Shaking his head, Han Xing put out the campfire and slung his longbow over his back.
"I've explored most of the clouds in this area. Today, I need to explore farther away."
Han Xing guided his territory slowly forward.
An hour later.
A cloud the size of a car appeared ahead. By rough estimate, it was at least eight cubic meters.
As the System Prompt appeared, Han Xing directly chose to enter.
After the cloud dispersed, a field of golden wheat stood before him, growing well.
"Wheat?"
Han Xing moved his territory closer, then harvested all the wheat from those eight plots of land.
Obtained Wheat ×67, obtained Wheat Seeds ×14
"There are seeds too?" Han Xing said in surprise. "Doesn't that mean I can start farming now?"
