Chapter 51 - 49: A Live Wild Rabbit, and a Wild Duck Too?

Sponsored

’A Stone Claw Eagle... incubating an egg?’

’Extraordinary Creatures reproduce like normal animals?’

An idea suddenly sparked in Chen Chong’s mind...

’If I steal one of the Stone Claw Eagle’s eggs and bring it back, will the hatched eaglet also be an Extraordinary Creature?’

’If I manage to get an Extraordinary Creature, won’t tomorrow’s rating go through the roof?’

’I’d probably get an A-Class Card, something that’s never appeared before.’

’And after it hatches, could I tame it? Train it like a hawk and make it my pet?’

Although he had never seen the Stone Claw Eagle with his own eyes, he knew from others’ descriptions that this particular Extraordinary Creature seemed stronger than the other two.

’If I could really tame an Extraordinary Creature as a pet, that would be incredible...’

Chen Chong grabbed the Card, got out of bed, and went to the edge of the fishpond.

The pond, which now held over twenty fish, hadn’t changed much.

The water was still clear with a slight green tint, and sparse weeds floated near the banks.

Although it was hard to spot the fish, the nibbled weeds along the edge showed they were very active, just preferring to stay below the surface.

Most importantly, a whole night had passed without any fish floating belly-up, proving they were adapting well to their new environment.

A faint smile touched Chen Chong’s lips.

The crops were planted and the fish were stocked. Though the numbers weren’t large yet, everything was heading in the right direction.

Whether they could add more fish to the pond all depended on today.

’And then there are the wild ducks and wild rabbits. If the traps can catch some live ones, we can start raising poultry and increase our resources...’

"I should figure out where to use this Card first."

After walking a lap around the apartment, Chen Chong decided to use the Basement Card in the kitchen.

A basement, after all, was for storing food. If he put it in his own room, it would be inconvenient for Xu Jun and the others to access it.

Even though four people lived in this three-bedroom apartment, everyone—Xu Jun, Chen Chong, and even Wang Biao and Jia Wen—greatly respected each other’s privacy and would never enter another person’s room without permission.

If he put the basement in his room, they couldn’t possibly ask him every single time they needed to get some food, could they?

The kitchen was the perfect spot.

As the Card dissolved into a stream of light, a wooden hatch appeared on the kitchen floor.

He lifted it, revealing a passageway...

Staring into the space below, Chen Chong was a little puzzled.

’Wouldn’t a basement this big extend into the apartment downstairs?’

But then he remembered the magic of the Vacant Land Card. This Basement Card probably had a similar space-folding property; it would be visible only from their apartment and shouldn’t affect the building’s overall structure.

He walked down the stairs, and a basement at least three meters high and thirty square meters wide appeared before him.

The floor and walls were built from blue bricks, fitted together so neatly there wasn’t a single gap.

Chen Chong had felt a bit warm before coming down, but now, standing in the basement, he felt a chill. In less than a minute, he had goosebumps.

"It really is a bit chilly..."

"But an environment like this is better for preserving food. It’s perfect for storing the cured meat and other food supplies."

Chen Chong walked back up the stairs and ran right into Xu Jun, who had just woken up and was coming out of his room.

"Brother Chong, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

Xu Jun was still groggy with sleep.

"Come help me move some things," Chen Chong said, immediately pulling him along to help.

When Xu Jun saw the basement, he was stunned. That shock was quickly followed by excitement, as he clearly understood its purpose.

The two of them worked quickly and efficiently, moving all the food supplies, including the cured meat, inside.

Of the three types of processed venison, only the smoked meat was completely ready. The salted and air-dried venison still needed to be smoked for another two days before they could be moved in.

Just then, Wang Biao and Jia Wen also woke up and came into the living room.

They cut off some of the venison smoking on the balcony for breakfast. With Jia Wen staying behind, the other three—Chen Chong, Xu Jun, and Wang Biao—grabbed their weapons and backpacks and headed out.

...

「Primitive Jungle.」

A light, steady rain was falling, like endless fine threads.

The three of them, wearing black ponchos, walked through the dense forest.

They had specifically traded a pound of venison for these three ponchos with a girl yesterday, anticipating rainy weather.

They hadn’t expected to use them so soon.

The rain-soaked ground had become soft and boggy, making it even more difficult to walk.

The three chatted idly as they trudged onward with some difficulty.

Chen Chong also learned the details of Xu Jun’s settlement for the day from him.

Setting traps, trading for supplies, and transplanting seedlings were all on his record, but there was no mention of stocking the fishpond. Apparently, that achievement hadn’t been credited to him.

His final rating was a C, and he received a Vacant Land Card.

Xu Jun had used it on his own bedroom right after getting up, making the small room more spacious to store more things in the future.

Chen Chong had no objection to this, since Xu Jun had used his previous Vacant Land Cards on the living room.

The living room was already big enough. Unless they needed to place more structures later, there was no need to keep expanding its area.

Amid their idle chat, the three arrived at the overgrown field.

Wang Biao was the first to dive into the half-meter-high weeds to look for the traps.

A moment later, his excited voice called out...

"Sir, we’ve got something!"

Chen Chong and Xu Jun exchanged a glance and hurried over.

Wang Biao was crouching by a small mound. Next to a hard-to-spot burrow entrance was a trap, which had a gray figure tightly bound in it, twitching slightly.

Chen Chong leaned in for a closer look...

It was a gray wild rabbit!

Compared to a domestic rabbit, a wild rabbit’s head is smaller, and its front legs, tail, and even its ears are longer, giving it a more slender build.

"It’s still alive?"

"It is!"

Wang Biao grinned as he untied the trap. "It’s just not in great shape. It probably got caught last night. Being tied up for half the night in the rain, it can’t really hop around anymore."

"Can we keep it alive if we take it back?" Xu Jun asked worriedly.

"No problem!" Wang Biao stood up, holding the wild rabbit by its ears. After weighing it in his hand, he said, "It’s a doe, weighs about four pounds."

Chen Chong and Xu Jun smiled too. What a great start!

Wang Biao used a pre-prepared rope to tie the wild rabbit’s legs and placed it in his backpack, leaving only its head out to breathe.

"Sir, that was only the second trap. There are four more. Allow me to go check them."

With that, he dove back into the tall grass. Chen Chong and Xu Jun, too eager to wait, followed him in...

Ten minutes later, all six traps were laid out on the ground.

The good news was that another trap had caught a wild rabbit—a buck that could be paired with the doe.

The bad news... this buck was dead.

"It was probably caught even earlier than the doe, most likely not long after we left. Judging by its fur, it hasn’t been dead for more than two hours. If only I had come a little earlier."

A hint of frustration crossed Wang Biao’s face.

Chen Chong clapped him on the shoulder comfortingly. "You can’t predict these things. Catching one alive is already pretty good. We can just catch another one later. We’ll take this one back and have an extra dish."

"You are absolutely right, Sir. This field is so rich in resources, I’m sure we can catch more rabbits," Wang Biao said, his smile returning.

Taking the traps and the wild rabbits, the three of them headed toward the bird net.

After walking for another ten minutes or so.

The wild grass grew sparser and shorter, and the faint outline of a stream came into view.

Before they even got close, Xu Jun froze, then broke into a joyful run.

"Brother Chong, the bird net caught something too! It’s a double blessing!"

Hearing this, Chen Chong also picked up his pace and followed.

Getting closer, he saw a sizable wild bird hanging in the mid-air net, its weight causing half of the net to sag.

Grayish-black feathers, a flat beak...

Chen Chong could hardly believe it. Had they actually netted a wild duck?
