Back to 1992, slingshot hunting skill points!

Chapter 44 Preparing to Hunt the Boar, Encirclement.

After having a good meal yesterday, Wang Long's cold got better, and he and Wang Liang came to Lin Chuan to discuss starting to sell fish again.

Lin Chuan felt it was too early to collect the fish traps and that it would disturb his family's rest, so he discussed it with them and asked them to take the traps back to sort them.

We're doing this at Wang Liang's house now, but the profits are still coming in, which is great.

Lin Chuan glanced at Tongzi, then went back to sleep, not waking up until after eight o'clock.

After breakfast, Lin Feng, Lin Chuan's mother, went to collect sesame seeds, and Lin Chuan went with her.

After a day of working in the fields, Wang Long and Wang Liang came over in the afternoon and handed Lin Chuan something:

"Look, Chuanzi, this is your gun license."

"It was done so quickly."

Lin Chuan didn't expect it to be so fast. Only three days had passed since he told Liu Jianshe, and the certificate was already processed.

If I were to do it myself, it would take at least a month, and there's a high chance I still wouldn't be able to get it done.

It's true that having connections in the court makes things easier.

With his gun license in hand, Lin Chuan's mind started racing again. This meant more than just that he could buy guns.

It's also possible that he could acquire another skill, raising his physique to 10 points, and thus become the strongest man on Earth.

"Liangzi, Xiaolong, go back and get some sleep. Come find me at three o'clock, we're going to do something big."

To buy a gun, you have to spend money. A gun costs several hundred dollars, and on the surface, he doesn't have enough money.

Lin Chuan thought he might as well go for a big heist, make a few thousand yuan, and solve the problems with the gun and the television.

When Wang Long, Wang Liang, and Lin Feng heard Lin Chuan say they were going to pull off something big, they immediately became excited. They were all young people, and none of them disliked causing trouble.

Although they had just experienced the robbery, they felt very safe with Lin Chuan around.

After discussing for a while, Lin Chuan saw them off and carried Lin Xue and Wang Yan towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

Yes, Wang Yan is there too. Now she rushes to the Lin family's house as soon as she finishes breakfast, and she doesn't even want to go home at night.

Her mother joked, "Since you like your brother Lin Chuan so much, why don't we just send you to his family?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan's face lit up with joy, and she nodded vigorously, leaving Zhang Jinmei speechless.

Lin Chuan bought some things at the supply and marketing cooperative and went back to start cooking.

Going up the mountain is no joke; getting enough rest is essential. He himself is fine, but he's worried about Lin Feng and the others getting into trouble.

……

"Chuanzi, where are we going?"

Before three o'clock, Wang Long and Wang Liang arrived, both pushing bicycles.

This is what puzzled them: if hunting is done in the mountains, why would they need a bicycle?

Lin Chuan didn't explain, but gestured for Lin Feng to get in the car and started walking towards the county town. The two of them quickly followed.

After riding for a while, and seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the county town, Lin Feng couldn't resist any longer:

"Brother, we have nothing, what are we going to the county for?"

"Hehe, not now, but you'll have some when you go later."

Lin Chuan is planning something big this time; his minimum expectation is over 1,000 jin (500 kg).

It would take several hours to process so much prey, which is time-consuming and laborious.

So he planned to go directly to the mountains on the outskirts of the county town to hunt, and then sell the whole pigs directly after hunting, saving time and effort.

As for whether they can catch so much prey, that depends on their father.

[You have spent 1000 Harvest Points on a targeted lucky draw, with the targeted keyword: tracking.]

Congratulations on winning the prize – Pig King's Sense of Smell!

[Pig King's Sense of Smell: Can detect scents within a 20-kilometer radius for 60 minutes; 10 harvest points will be deducted for each minute exceeding this time.]

Harvest Points: 756.

Seeing the pig king's sense of smell, which he had personally experienced, Lin Chuan knew he had it in the bag.

Once the most difficult part—finding prey—is solved, the rest depends on his skills.

After hiding the bikes in the woods on the edge of the county town, Lin Chuan led them up the mountain.

It took him almost an hour to activate his sense of smell, hoping there was a large herd of wild boars nearby, otherwise he would have to go further in.

The moment the Pig King's sense of smell was activated, all sorts of smells filled his nose. Lin Chuan carefully discerned the wild boar's distinctive muttony and muddy scent.

Thank God, Lin Feng and his group didn't have to go too far. About two or three miles away, he smelled the scent of nearly thirty wild boars.

Lin Chuan carried a burlap sack and led them through the woods. When they arrived at their destination, Lin Chuan stopped at a distance to observe.

Ahead was a mountain hollow, and the darkness did not affect Lin Chuan's vision at all. He saw a stream in the hollow.

The valley is filled with shrubs and low bamboo, and there are no roads. The tall trees are mostly pine, persimmon, chestnut, and oak trees.

Good heavens, this is a paradise for wild boars! They have plenty to eat and drink and it's safe here. No wonder so many wild boars gather here.

Based on the location of the wild boar, Lin Chuan sent the three people to different places, watching them climb the trees. For each one he sent, he took out a package from his bag.

Those were firecrackers and a gong. The firecrackers were bought, and the gong was borrowed; these were his secret weapons for the wild boar.

"Remember, after you hear the pig squeal, bang the gong, and every few minutes light a firecracker."

Lin Chuan's plan was for him to go up to the top of the mountain, where Lin Feng, Wang Long, and Wang Liang would create a disturbance at a specific location.

As for how many he can catch, that depends on luck. Wild boars tend to move to higher ground when startled, so he believes the harvest shouldn't be too bad.

After explaining everything, Lin Chuan walked around the mountain and soon found a place.

The location is at the top of a small waterfall, offering a superb view that extends to the stream below.

He could see even the slightest movement from the low bushes on either side.

Once ready, Lin Chuan drew his bow and arrows and planted them on the edge of the cliff, leaving only a few arrows on his body, before walking into the bushes.

The boar king's sense of smell had run out, so Lin Chuan didn't continue, but he remembered that there was a brood of wild boars a hundred meters ahead.

Compared to the uncertainty of chasing wild boars, the meat that's already in our mouths is something we naturally want to eat first.

After walking only a few dozen meters, before Lin Chuan reached the designated location, he suddenly heard a humming sound and rustling in the bushes.

Lin Chuan quickly ran back. The bushes and bamboos here were incredibly dense, making it impossible for him to maneuver properly. Fighting a herd of wild boars here would be suicidal.

This litter of wild boars wasn't as aggressive as the ones in Liziao. They didn't come from the forest; they probably ran away instinctively after hearing the noise.

This is quite normal; wild boars generally do not attack people unless they are injured.

But they didn't attack Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan wouldn't tolerate them.

After returning to the cliff, he fired an arrow at the swaying bushes.

"Aww."

A piercing howl echoed through the night, followed by the sounds of firecrackers and gongs, and more sounds began to emerge from the woods.

The bushes partially obscured the view, and Lin Chuan's arrow did not kill the wild boar directly; the boar continued to charge forward, howling.

Having learned from his first arrow, Lin Chuan moved the arrowhead forward and took a preliminary aim.

"call out."

The wild boars' howling finally subsided.

[Harvested one wild boar, harvest points +247]

Ignoring the system's warning, Lin Chuan nocked his bow and continued aiming at the second wild boar.

There wasn't just one wild boar in this litter; there were six of them.
