Chapter 3：A Human In A Monkey Disguise (1/2)

After completing his first mission, Wei Huo obtained a piece of decent equipment in his inventory. However, Wei Huo had a bad hunch. As expected, he received the second quest.

”New quest, 'Survival and Food Continuity'. The Player is required to hunt a beast. A random game item will be rewarded once the quest is completed.

”Quest hint. The Player is allowed to use the system's scan feature for a total of three times. Each usage allows the player to scan and view their surroundings within a range of 10 kilometers for beasts' movement.”

Wei Huo scratched his head and wondered why this task felt like a newbie's quest.

Wei Huo thought of the hunting knife in his mind, and the hunting knife appeared in his hand. He thought of it disappearing, and the knife was back inside the inventory. The hunting knife was somewhat quite convenient and there were many ways to use it too. The fact that it could appear and vanish instantly could confused enemies.

Wei Huo looked at the bow and arrow he crafted. Unfortunately, he could not keep that bow and arrow in the inventory.

Only items rewarded by the system could be kept in the inventory.

Wei Huo then tried the scan feature. That feature was very convenient too. Once used, a radar image would emerge in his mind, and it started scanning immediately. It ended after 10 seconds, but after those 10 seconds, the system notification said, ”No beasts within 10 kilometers.”

Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”

'What the f*ck…'

He suddenly understood this newbie's quest was prepared for players to get accustomed to the Earth's gamification. There would surely be plenty of beasts on earth by that time, but right now there were not that many!

After all, time had only halted for three days.

Wei Huo facepalmed himself. 'That was f*cking awkward!'

Although the animal reproduction speed had increased by 10 times, three days was still too short!

Wei Huo examined the wooden bow on his hand. He could not hunt using this wooden bow as its quality was too poor. Moreover, his shooting skills were not developed yet. Even if he encountered a beast, he was not capable of hunting it down. It would be better for him to keep practicing his skills in crafting archery weapons in order to craft better bow and arrow. He could also work on improving his archery skills.

Action speaks louder than words. Wei Huo started focusing on advancing his crafting skills as well as archery skills. However, it only lasted for 15 days. On the 15th morning, an incident broke out in the service area. Wei Huo was fast asleep at that time.

He had moved his tent into a supermarket and was wrapping himself up in the sleeping bag inside the tent. It was early autumn, and the weather was not considered that cold.

That morning, however, Wei Huo was awakened by the sound of monkeys chattering. Those monkeys barged into the service area. They rampaged and rummaged through the supermarket. Wei Huo got up startled.

”What's happening?” Wei Huo came out from his tent only to find five or six monkeys ransacking the shelves in the supermarket. A bunch of monkeys was jumping about outside the supermarket. Some were climbing up the cars, some were chasing dragonflies, some were picking lice, and some were brushing their hair. They were pulling, dragging, and chasing each other around.

Wei Huo scared away a few monkeys in the supermarket when he got out of his tent. They bolted out the supermarket whilst jumping, and surprised the monkeys outside but did not run far. They stopped about 10 meters away from Wei Huo and stared at him curiously.

Some were peeking their heads, a few of them scratched their head, whilst some were spinning on the ground. They started to become rowdy again when Wei Huo stood still. Wei Huo took a step forward, and they sprang up, backing away from him. They all stared at him in unison.
