Chapter 14: The Intruder and My Hut Upgrade
Thatched House: Defense Evaluation: Level 1, Courtyard Field: One (Poor Field), Well (Not built) Fence: (Not established)
Upgrade Wooden House: Wood: 100, Bone Material: 1, Cost: 1000 Bone Coins.
The thatched house can be upgraded, but as long as you reach Level 30, complete the task, and upgrade from Elite Hunter to Tribal Warrior, you can live in a cave dwelling, so Small Knife has no interest in upgrading the thatched house.
But now.
"Slutty Mouth!"
"Dad!"
A call and a response, so natural, accompanied by a flattering smile, Small Knife truly is impressed, ultimate shamelessness indeed.
But now there's no one available.
Waste material utilization then.
"Do you know where to get wood and bone material?" Small Knife asked.
After all, raw materials aren't sold within the tribe.
"Brother Dao, I know this. Level 5 slaves farm, Level 10 slaves craft stone tools, Level 15 slaves hunt and can go out to collect wood. Bone material is made from fierce beasts or higher bones boiled into Bone Coin materials." Slutty Mouth hurriedly replied, really knowing quite a bit.
"Can you buy them?" Small Knife asked again.
"NPC slaves have to hand over what they collect; players at Level 10 can go out logging, so willing to spend money will solve it." Slutty Mouth quickly responded.
"I'm giving you a task: purchase wood: 100, bone material: 1, and also inquire about how to build a fence."
"Don't worry! Brother Dao, it's soon settled." Slutty Mouth took off running.
He was delighted; seems he's clung to the right big leg.
Originally wanted to cling to the top player, Military Dagger, but after seeing this hidden master's catches, he finally understood what a true big leg is.
Hmm, the thought is to have the big leg wipe out Young Master Dai.
"Xiu'Er! When brother master is not around, you have to learn to protect yourself. There are always some ill-intentioned bad people; our house does not allow others to approach. Warn those who come close, and for those who ignore the warning, kill them directly." Small Knife chuckled as he took out a finely made Repeating Crossbow from his Personal Space.
Teaching Xiu'Er how to use the crossbow! Alongside sharing thoughts.
Truly pleasing to both body and mind.
Small Knife planned to upgrade the thatched house, build a fence to enhance defense, and the idea of digging a well was naturally part of the discussion, which made Xiu'Er very happy.
Engaging in the conversation, Xiu'Er shared her dream of planting flowers in the yard and raising chickens.
"Why raise chickens when you should raise a dog? It can guard the house." Small Knife's eyes lit up, recalling his Mountain Dog, really missing it.
"Recently, brother has offended people, don't go out alone. Once we raise a big dog that can protect you safely, then you can go out alone." Small Knife explained the situation of offending Young Master Dai, warning to be cautious of those people.
Together they ate top-grade Beast Meat, Xiu'Er practiced with the crossbow, and Small Knife practiced with the spear, all harmonious.
Indeed, pairing male and female makes work easier.
If only Xiu'Er could be brought into the real world.
"Damn! How did he come again?" Small Knife frowned, looking over, seeing only Slutty Mouth naturally.
"Trouble! Brother Dao, Young Master Dai is bringing people to find you, might come soon; he has put a bounty of ten thousand RMB on you." Slutty Mouth gasped.
"Damn! Got it, hurry and complete the task, also don't let them find out about our relationship. From now on, you're my top-secret undercover; complete the Level 15 breakthrough task will be yours."
Small Knife immediately offers a sweet incentive.
Though this place is remote, it was soon discovered.
"Here someone shouted."
Later, three Level 10 players excitedly rushed here.
Naturally excluding Young Master Dai, because he's underage, not finishing trials can't come here.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be only three people.
The marks on their foreheads indicate their identity as Young Hunters.
"Haha, it's you, Small Knife! Ten thousand RMB." The leading person laughed and swung the spear, about to charge forward.
"Can you beat him? Don't get killed; this guy is ruthless," shouted the one behind.
This gave a pause to the fastest runner.
"The bounty of ten thousand, we divide it, three people three thousand each; any dead, whoever kills gets four thousand; don't be greedy trying to keep it all, with Young Master Dai there'll be plenty of chances to make money." The player behind shouts again.
Soon, the three reached an agreement, forcibly closing in.
"Brother, how about you commit suicide for a share of a thousand?" The one who allied the three showed quite some mind.
"Private territory, approach and die." Small Knife said uncomfortably.
"And there's a little beauty. Damn, a slave? I'm jealous; no wonder Young Master Dai is unhappy."
The three shouted, forming a line, swinging spears as they approached.
"Master said, our house, no entry allowed, or we'll kill you." Xiu'Er also shouted loudly, backward holding the crossbow as instructed by the master saying taking it out means killing, otherwise it alerts the enemy.
"So cute, the voice sounds great too. Relax, we only kill your master, not you."
Drip: Private territory, after warning, forcibly entered without punishment.
Tip: Can set sign to warn other players to avoid.
Can do this?
Small Knife was stunned.
At this time three had entered his field range, however not yet within spear throwing distance.
"Xiu'Er, kill!" Small Knife spoke.
"Master!" Xiu'Er was clearly nervous.
"Xiu'Er, be strong; master needs to go out, don't let master worry about your safety." Small Knife said gently.
With a bite of her lip.
Xiu'Er took out the repeating crossbow from behind.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three crossbow bolts shot out.
Screams rang out.
An unlucky guy took the bolt in the heart, directly clearing his health bar.
The fortunate one, hit by two bolts, still had one third of his health.
At this time, Small Knife had already rushed in, closing in rapidly at Level 15 speed, then threw a wooden spear.
Level 15 Power plus the Great Success evaluation of spear, one hit pierced through him, pinning to the ground, watching his health bar rapidly drop then clear; unfortunately dead.
Drip: Kill Level 10 invading player, reward Experience: 10, Spear proficiency: +1, no penalty.
Screaming, the last remaining player with residual health turned and fled.
Still without any halt, Small Knife grabbed another spear.
Whoosh!
Small Knife didn't strike, this one was already hit with a spear in the back and down.
All three enemies annihilated.
"Master, Xiu'Er can protect herself." Amazingly, Xiu'Er was the one who threw the spear.
"Say Master Brother."
"Master Brother, Xiu'Er can protect herself." Xiu'Er bit her lip and said.
"Xiu'Er is the best, brother can go out without worries." Small Knife didn't shy from praising.
Quickly, NPCs came over, true with no penalty, only dragged away the three corpses, even the enemy's weapons became Small Knife's spoils.
Upon checking his experience over a thousand now.
Without hesitation, he gave Xiu'Er a Divine Techniques upgrade.
