Jian Xiu had only brought the fire stick because she thought she might be out late and it would be useful.

She hadn’t expected it to serve this purpose.

She was the kind of person who did what she said, and as soon as she decided to do something, she wouldn’t waste a single second.

She gathered some dry firewood, blocked the hole, and then lit the wood with the fire stick…

After that, Jian Xiu stood guard at the cave entrance.

“Ke Ke, do you think the muntjac might just choose to suffocate inside?” Jian Xiu asked, feeling a bit bored while waiting.

“If it were you, would you?” Ke Ke responded.

“No!” Jian Xiu answered without hesitation.

“Exactly! Even you, with your stupidity, wouldn’t suffocate yourself in there, let alone a smart muntjac!”

“Hey, Ke Ke, that’s not fair! How am I stupid? Explain yourself, or I’ll never let this go!”

“You’re not stupid? Then how come you didn’t think of your own fire stick?” Ke Ke said.

Jian Xiu: “…”

“Alright, stop talking. The muntjac is about to come out,” Ke Ke said.

Ke Ke could scan anything within a two-meter radius, so she always knew what was happening nearby.

Upon hearing Ke Ke’s words, Jian Xiu immediately got into position.

She pulled out the dagger she had prepared and stood at the entrance of the cave.

Sure enough, after a while, the dirty and battered muntjac quickly rushed out of the cave.

Seeing this, Jian Xiu reacted quickly, seizing the right moment to strike at the muntjac’s vulnerable spot…

“Crack… snap…”

The muntjac cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground. (Just a note: I looked up the sound of a muntjac online, and it seems a bit strange. I’m not sure if this is accurate, but let’s just assume it’s close, haha~)

“Ke Ke, it’s so big!” Jian Xiu exclaimed excitedly.

“It sure is! It’s twice the size of the one you just collected.”

“Can you scan how much this muntjac weighs?”

“I can!”

“Then scan it for me!”

“That’ll cost two points.”

“Forget it!” Jian Xiu replied without hesitation.

A bag of rice costs only 2.5 yuan, and scanning this would cost two points—there’s no way she would do that.

But thinking about the wild boars, Jian Xiu began to feel a headache.

If she didn’t know there were wild boars around, it would be easier to handle.

But knowing they were there made her reluctant to give up.

It would feel worse than losing her own flesh.

“Do you still want those wild boars?” Ke Ke asked, noticing Jian Xiu’s headache.

“Of course! I saw those tracks. There must be at least four or five, so it’s not just one, it’s a whole group.”

“You’re too lazy to level up the system, but I do have a solution… though I’m not sure if you’ll go for it.”

“I’m willing, I’m willing! As long as it helps me catch those wild boars, I’ll do anything.”

“Then you can spend 110 points to buy a hoe from the supermarket, and use another few dozen points to buy food that wild boars like. Then, you can dig a pit here, put the food inside, and come back tomorrow with someone else to collect them.”

“Wait, that’s over 200 points.”

“Look at you being so stingy! If you don’t use the points, how will the system level up? And it’s not even 200 points, it’s just under 200.”

“Fine, fine, fine, I’ll do it! Just tell me where to dig the pit.”

“It’s easy. Just follow the tracks down the mountain. Those tracks clearly show where the wild boars come and go. And you should be heading down the mountain soon, right?”

“The pit needs to be really big, doesn’t it? Won’t it take until dark?”

“Not at all. You’ll be using the hoe from the supermarket, not the stuff from here.”

“What’s the difference?”

“You’ll find out once you use it,” Ke Ke said mysteriously.

Sure enough, after Jian Xiu saw the hoe in her hands, she was stunned.

“Isn’t this too big?”

“It’s perfect for you!”

“It’s perfect, but what am I supposed to say when I take it back?”

“This is something from the supermarket. Once you’re done, you can return it to the supermarket.”

“Oh? Is that really possible?”

“Of course! That’s why I wanted you to use your points to buy things from the supermarket. You get something, and I get to level up—what’s not to like?”

Jian Xiu: “… In the end, you just want me to spend my points.”

Thinking this, Jian Xiu began swinging the hoe in her hands.

She had to admit, the supermarket items were really useful. With that big pit, she finished digging it in just fifteen minutes.

Then, she tossed the food she bought from the supermarket into the pit, and everything was set.

“Ke Ke, can you collect the hoe now? I need to head back, the sun is almost setting.”

As soon as she spoke, the hoe disappeared from her hands.

After putting the muntjac she had killed into her basket, Jian Xiu swaggered down the mountain.

She hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly on this trip.

And the harvest was even bigger than she expected.

Tomorrow, she’d bring Zhang Zhiyong and Zhang Haifei back up to get the wild boars.

With this plan in mind, Jian Xiu quickened her pace.

…

At the village’s thatched cottage.

After dumping the plantain leaves from his basket, Zhang Zhiyong was planning to head to the county again.

Looking at the sky, by the time he got back, Old Zhang should have taken action by then.

Although he didn’t know why Zhang Zixuan had asked him to invite Master Wu, he trusted that Zhang Zixuan had his reasons.

“Zixuan, are you sure you’re fine here?”

“What problem could I have? You know my abilities!” Zhang Zixuan said with a smile.

The wheelchair he was sitting in was mobile, and for now, no one from the old house could do anything to him.

Hearing Zhang Zixuan’s words, Zhang Zhiyong remembered that Zhang Zixuan wasn’t completely immobile anymore.

At least, with this movable wheelchair, Zhang Zixuan’s skills were clear to him, and no ordinary person was a match for him.

Back when he worked as a bodyguard, his martial arts skills were the best.

If it weren’t for the unfortunate fall off the cliff, his life might not be like this now.

“I’ll head out now…”

“Excuse me, is this Jian Xiu’s house?”

Before Zhang Zhiyong could finish his sentence, a voice came from the door.

Confused, Zhang Zixuan immediately maneuvered his wheelchair to the door.

But when he saw the person at the door, his eyes widened.

“Are you Master Wu?” Zhang Zixuan asked uncertainly.
