Chapter 5：Qi Cultivators (1/2)

The next morning, Wei Huo discovered something fascinating.

The monkeys were imitating Wei Huo, setting up traps just like how he did yesterday. After setting up the traps, they put chips as bait. They clutched onto the rope and stared at the trap anxiously waiting for pheasants to take the bait.

The always raucous monkeys suddenly became silent. They sprawled on the ground with bloodshot eyes as they concentrated on their traps.

It seemed like those pheasants felt an unusual aura causing none of them daring to come close.

Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”

They were simply…too clever by half?

Those monkeys were ranked the same as Wei Huo. All of them were at the normal rank. Wei Huo could also view their information feed. In one of their social bars, it showed 'Established Rapport with Wei Huo'. Their Inventory Menu was empty, and there was no Character Attributes tab. They only had health attributes which showed that those few monkeys were quite healthy.

Those restless monkeys could not stay put after a while. They scattered and loitered around. Few entertaining themselves with some jumping all over the place. Several of them were running after each other, picking lice, hanging on the tree, and rolling just about everywhere. Only one monkey kept holding on to the rope with its gaze never leaving his trap.

Wei Huo thought that monkey was quite peculiar.

Probably because the tension in the air subsided, one pheasant came trailing along with the scent. The pheasant appeared warier of its surroundings compared to that pheasant from yesterday and yet, it still fell into the trap. The monkey which was gripping the rope yanked hard and penned the pheasant in a trap.

All the other monkeys were stupefied. All of them cast an admiring gaze toward that monkey who caught a pheasant.

Pleased with itself, that monkey walked towards the coop but was bewildered. It did not know how to catch the pheasant out from that coop. That monkey would of course also have no idea how to slaughter and grill it.

They suddenly turned their head towards Wei Huo.

Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”

'F*ck your sister, am I your chef?'

Although he was grumbling in his heart, he was still content to pick up the job. He was even imagining if those monkeys would learn more if he kept teaching them skills. Maybe they would evolve into intelligent creatures like those monkeys in the movie 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'.

As the saying goes, just do it.

From that day onward, besides intensive training (100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10-kilometer jog), Wei Huo also taught those monkeys all sorts of skills. He taught them everything from hunting using a lance, bow, and arrow; to grilling food, weeding, plowing, and farming crops.

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed!

Many events happened throughout those three years. Electricity and the Internet were suspended in the first year. They could no longer use any electrical appliances. In the second year, the water supply was also cut off leaving Wei Huo with no other choice but to fetch water from the river. Fortunately, the waters had turned crystal clear within those two years.

The packaged food went rotten after a year and a half. Luckily, those monkeys had already learned how to hunt and farm. They obtained seedlings from an agricultural supplies store located in a county 20 kilometers away. Ever since the human limiter was removed, Wei Huo had been transformed into a sturdy man through constant intensive training. Hunting was no longer a big deal. As luck would have it, Wei Huo and the monkeys still had sufficient food since animal reproduction speed had been accelerated.

In those three years, humanity's time has not resumed. Even God's voice had disappeared. Wei Huo nearly thought that God had forgotten their world!

Finally, in the third year, God's voice appeared once again!

”New event added Raging Animals. Ceaseless hunting at the same spot will infuriate some animals, leading to pack-attacks on humans.”
