The trio’s waists and legs were sore, and they could not wait to rest. However, they did not dare sit down and rest, as Wei Huo had not left.

Wei Huo was impressed. However, he did not know if Xiao Bin and his friends were smart or afraid.

Wei Huo left with his bow. Five minutes later, he came back with a tall boar. When he came back, he saw the three people messing around a bonfire.

Wei Huo was a little surprised. The three of them were quite capable of carrying out tasks. People who were not capable of carrying out tasks would usually take a short break when they faced such situations. He would not want to move if he heard others say ‘rest for five minutes’ when there were too many of them.

However, the three of them had already taken out cigarettes and lighters and tried to light a fire.

It seemed like they were really hungry…

Wei Huo was not in the trio’s position, so he did not know what they were thinking. As the only ones relying on Wei Huo, how could the three of them dare to ignore him? What if Wei Huo thought they were worthless and abandoned them?

“Do you have a knife?” Wei Huo asked.

The trio immediately shook their heads.

Wei Huo threw out three bronze knives. “I’ll guard you guys while you slaughter this wild boar. Just roast it and eat it. Don’t worry about me!”

The three knives were considered their reward for their strong performance. This was Wei Huo’s initial approval of them. Wei Huo wanted them to slaughter the boar on their own because he wanted to see how effective their skill EXP was.

Unlike other players, other than having 10 basic skills, the three of them had a Learning Skill. Xiao Bin’s Learning Skill was at the highest level, which was Level 13. The skill’s description was: “Able to understand Level-13 blueprints, other skill efficiency upgraded by 130%.”

Players did not have that skill. Wei Huo had also obtained it in the Divine Realm. Besides, he had only reached Level 7.

After killing the boar, the three of them started grilling it. Wei Huo saw their Culinary Skills increase rapidly and then received another message.

It was best to recruit students. Students were younger and simpler, and their remaining lifespan was longer. Plus, they had the Learning Skill. This skill was upgraded fast and was thus worth training.

After the three of them had their fill, Wei Huo would continue leading them on their journey. The three of them looked at the wild boar’s corpse sadly but eventually decided to follow Wei Huo without doing anything.

Wei Huo noticed the details. They were too simple-minded, but they trusted him.

Vigilant people would have asked and reminded Wei Huo to bring the wild boar along. If Wei Huo had not brought the wild boar along, they might have chosen to cut off one of its hindlegs just in case. That way, they would still have kept the food if Wei Huo had abandoned them.

However, they did not do that. Firstly, they believed that Wei Huo would hunt for them again, and secondly, he was the one who had caught it. They had no right to deal with the wild boar while Wei Huo stayed silent.

However, this innocence was also their disadvantage. After all, if they met a person with a bad temper or a narrow mind, everything would be over.

Wei Huo was not a bad-tempered or narrow-minded person. If the three of them chose to cut the boar, Wei Huo would stop waiting and change his approach to training them.

Tests and observations were everywhere. Wei Huo was observing them, and they were observing him. After all, they had yet to reveal their names to him.

The three of them handled the situation very well. They spoke less and did not complain. They showed off their endurance and willpower. At the same time, they observed Wei Huo by paying attention to the details. They observed Wei Huo’s character, whether he was worth following, and whether there were any traps.
