Chapter 1, Chapter 92, unlocks skill point allocation.
"Brother, I won! I'll go pick it up."
"Don't worry, there are still two more."
In July 92, at Qiaotouwan, a light morning mist drifted through the bamboo grove.
Lin Chuan pulled Lin Feng back and pointed to the two squirrels squeaking on the bamboo tips:
"We'll pick them up together after we're done playing. If we go now, getting grazed by a marble is no joke."
Lin Feng hummed in agreement, his eyes darting back and forth between the bamboo tips and the squirrels on the ground.
He nodded his head repeatedly, looking anxious.
Squirrels, that's meat! Thinking of this, he involuntarily swallowed.
Seeing his younger brother's pathetic state, Lin Chuan wanted to tease him a bit, but before he could even open his mouth, his own mouth started to water.
Just a few days ago, he threw away the meat because he thought it was too greasy. Back in 1992, after eating bland food for a few days, his body's craving for meat instantly overwhelmed everything else.
Cursing himself for being spineless, Lin Chuan pulled out a few mud pellets and, with a whoosh, successfully knocked the squirrel down.
While Lin Feng was rushing up to pick up the squirrel, Lin Chuan 'looked' into his mind:
[One squirrel was harvested, gaining +0.7 points.]
[One squirrel was harvested, gaining +0.5 points.]
[One squirrel was harvested, gaining +0.8 points.]
With a thought, the writing disappeared, and another line of text appeared:
[Slingshot: 68/100 + (Upgradeable)]
[Physical Fitness: 7]
Harvest Points: 2
Lin Chuan's heart pounded violently. In the few days since his rebirth, there had been no trace of his father.
He didn't care much at first. Going back to 1992 from 2026 was already an incredible feat, so what more could he ask for?
Unexpectedly, although Dad was late, he finally arrived.
For Lin Chuan, who frequently reads online novels, the purpose of the "Union Father" was immediately clear.
Harvest → Points → Add Points.
The only downside is that to acquire a skill, you must first learn the basics and reach a proficiency level of 20 before you can be recruited by the system and have your skill points added.
This is no easy feat. Before his rebirth, Lin Chuan was obsessed with hunting novels set in the past and longed for them.
Then, I practiced an extremely precise slingshot technique, thinking I had reached the pinnacle, but I didn't even get 70.
He also has excellent cooking skills, but unexpectedly, in Tong's father's judgment, he didn't even get a score of 20.
Having lived most of my life, I only have one skill with a score above 20.
It was a complete failure.
As for constitution, you can only add it after you have maxed out your skills to 100 and obtained attribute points.
Fortunately, I learned that the harvest points also have a lottery function, otherwise I was afraid that I would have no points to add in the future.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
"Shh, don't talk, there's a big spotted dove over there."
He wasn't lying to Lin Feng; there really was a large spotted dove on the bamboo shoots in the distance.
Lin Chuan hesitated for a long time before making a move, unsure of his chances.
The dove was quite far away and not very clear in the morning mist. There were bushes in the woods, and I wanted to get closer but was afraid of scaring it away.
In a flash, Lin Chuan silently added points.
[Slingshot: 70/100]
Harvest Points: 0
The first time he added points, he couldn't quite describe the feeling, but Lin Chuan knew he could hit the target.
call out.
The mud ball pierced through the thin mist and accurately shot down the turtledove.
"Brother, we won! We won!"
Before Lin Feng could even feel happy for a few seconds, the dove suddenly took flight again, wobbling unsteadily.
The meat that was almost in my mouth has flown away; this is terrible.
Lin Feng took out the mud ball, and with a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
[Obtained one turtledove, Harvest Points +0.5]
Harvest Points: 0.5
Lin Chuan was just trying it out, and he wasn't confident. In his previous life, he was very accurate with his slingshot, hitting the target nine times out of ten.
But that's an inanimate object. If you can hit a living thing twice out of ten times, you're lucky. Anyone who's ever used a slingshot knows that hitting a still object and hitting a moving object are two completely different concepts.
Lin Chuan watched Lin Feng pick up the dove with a smile, and only one thought crossed his mind.
These two points were worthwhile.
Within two minutes, Lin Feng came out excitedly carrying the dove, though he was walking with a slight limp.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just got pricked by a chestnut shell."
Lin Feng said nonchalantly. Lin Chuan asked him to sit down, took off his shoes, and then noticed a hole in the sole.
These were still his deceased father's shoes, and they were a size too big for Lin Feng. Lin Chuan looked at his own shoes, which were old, but at least they weren't broken.
Lin Chuan silently removed the thorn from Lin Feng's foot, a bitter feeling welling up in his heart.
So much time had passed that many things had been overshadowed by the joy of being reborn, and it was only then that he remembered his family's circumstances.
My father has been dead for several years, and my mother has been the sole breadwinner for the whole family.
They have a lot of persimmons and chestnuts here, and the yield of sweet potatoes is also high.
They won't starve to death, but they are truly poor.
Besides himself, Lin Feng and his younger sister Lin Xue's clothes were all patched upon patched.
Because of my good grades, I need to go out, and I always put myself first when something happens.
Following the trajectory of his previous life, Lin Chuan did indeed live up to expectations and was admitted to university.
But he has only just finished his middle school entrance exam, and it will take him seven more years to complete his university studies.
By then, the daylily will be too cold.
My mother's health deteriorated due to years of hard work.
Lin Feng's grades were average. At the beginning of the year, he made a fuss about not going to school anymore. He didn't even finish junior high school and stayed at home to help out.
In a few years, he will marry a terrible wife, causing chaos in the household and ruining his life.
Because her family was poor, the younger sister was insecure, and Lin Chuan only learned decades later that she had been bullied.
……
"Brother, let's go, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, it's nothing, let's go."
"Brother, do you know how to peel skin?"
"meeting."
"You really know how? I've never seen you peel them before."
Faced with Lin Feng's question, Lin Chuan was momentarily speechless. He couldn't very well tell him that he would be peeling away many layers in the future.
Of course, it's not squirrel skin that's being peeled off. In a few years, this thing will be protected, and peeling it will be illegal.
Lin Chuan was skinning a rabbit; the techniques were similar, but it's hard to explain.
Lin Chuan patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "Why are you talking so much? Just wait and eat."
The bamboo grove is not far from home, just a few minutes away.
A bamboo fence, mud walls, and a fragrant osmanthus tree in the corner of the yard.
Even though he had been back for several days, Lin Chuan still felt somewhat dazed looking at the scene that was deepest in his memory.
"Brother, let's go! What are you standing there for?"
Lin Feng glanced at Lin Chuan, a look of confusion in his eyes. He wondered what was wrong with his older brother; he seemed lost in thought these past few days.
Before he could think further, a little girl of about four or five years old ran over from the yard:
"Brother, you're back! Wow, a squirrel? Where did this squirrel come from? And a dove too!"
"Of course we were the ones who did it."
"Brothers, you guys are amazing."
Lin Feng put the squirrel and the dove on the ground, and Lin Xue went over to touch them, her eyes sparkling.
Lin Xue's hair was dry and yellow, and her clothes were patched even more than Lin Feng's, and her pants were even men's style.
This was passed from Lin Chuan to Lin Feng, and then to her.
We need to make money, we absolutely must make money.
Lin Chuan watched them laugh and joke, racking his brains for a good way to make money.
Starting a business is currently unlikely, mainly because I don't have the capital. Squirrels and doves can only improve our diet. If I want to make money, I need to get a big one.
The only big creatures on the mountain are wild boars; there are no wolves, bears, or tigers there.
Hunting wild boars with a slingshot doesn't seem like a good idea, and we don't have a gun at home, or if we did, we wouldn't know how to use it...
The situation had reached a dead end, but Lin Chuan, with his decades of experience, actually came up with a solution.
