They were all using torn cloths, and the whole family shared one to wash.

It wasn’t so bad when she didn’t wash, but once she did, she just felt dirtier.

Thinking about it, there were really a lot of things that needed to be prepared.

Hearing Jian Xiu’s words, Ke Ke immediately responded:

“Of course it’s true. I’m the system match given to you. It’s designed just for you. If I can’t find what you need in the supermarket, I’d be unqualified. At that point, you could just pass on me.”

“Of course not! How could I pass you? You’re so cute and so responsible. I love you to bits!” Jian Xiu said, jokingly.

In truth, although Ke Ke said this, Jian Xiu understood that their relationship was based on mutual benefit.

“You told me yesterday there’s a discount. Should I buy something now?” Jian Xiu asked curiously.

“Yes, but do you have time to pick something out now?”

“Not really. If I wait until I get back tonight, will the sale be over?”

“No, it goes until midnight tonight,” Ke Ke replied with certainty.

“Great!”

With the mentality of having come all this way, Jian Xiu decided to continue her journey into the mountains.

After all, she couldn’t leave empty-handed, especially since she was lacking in both points and silver.

Thinking this, Jian Xiu paid no attention to Ke Ke and lowered her head to search for any signs of prey.

In the apocalypse, as a special agent, hunting was something she was very familiar with.

She often ventured deep into the mountains during missions.

When there was no food, hunting became her go-to option.

Maybe it was her lucky day, but after only a few steps, she found many footprints.

Most of them looked like wild boar tracks, but one of them was different—it didn’t look like a wild boar at all.

“What kind of footprint is this?” Jian Xiu muttered to herself.

“It’s a muntjac, a muntjac’s footprint,” Ke Ke’s voice came again.

“A muntjac? We’re not even deep in the mountains, how could there be a muntjac here? Are you sure you didn’t scan wrong?”

“You’re standing at the edge of the deep mountains, just at the entrance. And based on these footprints, there’s definitely more than one wild boar here. Even if you shot one, you wouldn’t be able to carry it back.”

“What should I do then?”

“What can you do? If you had leveled up, I could help you store it, but you haven’t leveled up yet. I can’t do anything. You could either go back down to find someone for help, or try to figure out a way to get it back yourself.”

Ke Ke spoke in her usual cold tone.

Mentioning the system upgrade irritated her; if she leveled up, her abilities would expand.

But dealing with her slow-moving master was frustrating.

Hearing Ke Ke’s words, Jian Xiu realized she had unwittingly wandered into the deep mountains.

Looking at the time, it was already evening.

If she didn’t hurry, she might not get back until the middle of the night.

Thinking this, Jian Xiu followed the tracks further.

She had decided—since Ke Ke couldn’t store the wild boar, she would carry it down first.

But the muntjac was the priority.

That thing was valuable.

More importantly, the meat could be used as medicine.

She knew that if she took the muntjac to the medicine shop, she’d easily get ten or more liang of silver.

However, muntjac were notoriously hard to hunt, not only because of their strong attack but also because they were agile and difficult to hit.

But Jian Xiu was no ordinary person.

She wouldn’t let this challenge stop her.

When she saw the tracks disappear ahead, she immediately hid in the nearby grass and stayed still.

She was waiting, waiting for the muntjac to appear again.

Wild boars were easier to catch, but muntjac were harder.

If they sensed anything unusual, the muntjac would definitely avoid showing itself.

“Ke Ke, do you think the muntjac will appear today? If it doesn’t, I’ll have wasted my time waiting.”

“Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu! The points for the poisonous snake just came through!” Ke Ke suddenly said.

“Really? How much?”

“Guess!”

Ke Ke teased.

“Five hundred?”

“Think bigger.”

“Could it be five thousand?”

“Think even bigger, considering you risked your life to collect it.”

“Then it must be over fifty thousand, right?”

“Exactly, it’s 58,888 points!” Ke Ke said, excited.

When she heard this, even Ke Ke was thrilled.

When the points were tallied, Ke Ke had been shocked herself.

“Fifty-eight thousand? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“I’m 100% sure. I checked multiple times!”

“Then how many points do I have now?”

“You’re over sixty thousand now. Keep going!” Ke Ke said with a smile.

It had only been a day, and the points were accumulating rapidly. What did she have to worry about now?

“They’re coming! Ke Ke, stop talking!” Jian Xiu said, suddenly excited.

Ke Ke: “… Even if I talk, I won’t make any noise. What’s got you so excited?”

But Jian Xiu didn’t have time to listen to Ke Ke.

She quickly pulled out the arrow she had prepared earlier and aimed it at the muntjac ahead.

“Whoosh…”

In an instant, Jian Xiu sprang to her feet and walked toward the direction of the muntjac.

She had never doubted her archery skills.

She had already calculated the distance, and unless something unexpected happened, she wouldn’t miss.

When Jian Xiu reached the muntjac, Ke Ke’s voice rang out: “You can collect the muntjac too! Quick, collect it!”

“No, no. I want to take this muntjac to the county to exchange for silver.”

“Oh, it’s a small one. There’s a bigger one inside.”

“How do you know?” Jian Xiu blurted out.

As soon as she spoke, she realized her mistake. Without thinking, she collected the injured small muntjac.

Then, she looked towards the hole where the larger muntjac had likely retreated.

Without a doubt, the larger one had been frightened and refused to come out.

But looking at the hole, it would be hard to find unless you were paying close attention.

“Ke Ke, is there a way to lure the larger muntjac out?”

“You brought fire sticks, didn’t you?” Ke Ke replied, somewhat exasperated.

“Right! How did I forget about that?”
