Chapter 4 Attributes
Upon hearing the commotion at Ye Shi's place, the others immediately dropped what they were doing, grabbed their axes, and rushed over.
Then, I happened to see Li Yuan display his great power, jumping up and killing the big black bird with a single axe stroke.
"Holy crap! Brother Li is awesome!"
"One-hit kill? You added a critical hit bonus?"
"Handsome is the only word to describe him!"
It was only at this moment that Ye Shi seemed to realize what was happening. He scrambled to his feet and sat on the ground, shuffling backward a few times before hurriedly standing up.
In contrast, Li Yuan, standing motionless with his axe in hand, appeared incredibly dashing, while Ye Shi, scrambling and crawling, looked utterly pathetic.
"Hahaha, are you doing street dance?" Fang Chang laughed at Ye Shi without any restraint.
"Get lost! I was just scared. This thing suddenly jumped out like a ghost. You try it!" Ye Shi cursed and kicked the large bird corpse on the ground.
Fang Chang then stopped smiling and said seriously, "This thing should be an alien species, a mutant caused by some kind of ray or something else."
A gust of wind walked over, bent down, picked up a fallen black feather from the ground, stared at it for a moment, and said, "It looks a bit like a crow."
"A crow this big?!" Ye Shi glanced at the large bird carcass on the ground, still somewhat shaken.
Just then, the manager, Shuguang, arrived carrying a pointed steel pipe and said upon hearing this:
"That's not a crow."
Two hundred years ago, its scientific name was falcon.
He glanced at the severed neck of the large bird, then at the blood-dripping axe in Li Yuan's hand, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Although killing a bird is nothing special, and many lone survivors in this wasteland can do it, it was still somewhat unexpected that a player logging in for the first time could take it down without taking any damage.
"A falcon? It's gotten so big?" Gale exclaimed in surprise, this overturned his understanding of birds.
"Radiation, viruses, bacteria, genetic weapons, and many other factors have combined to create everything we see today." Dawn nodded. "Aliens are just one of the threats we face; in some situations, humans are more dangerous than them."
"You're in for a treat today. I'll come back and call you when it's cooked. You can continue cutting down trees."
Having said that, Shuguang carried away the huge black bird that was as dead as could be.
Upon hearing this, the players, having learned something new, immediately picked up their axes with renewed enthusiasm and continued chopping down the tree.
However, this does not include Li Yuan.
He dropped the axe and continued to "chop" the tree with his fists.
Even so, he was still faster at cutting down trees than the other four people combined.
Moreover, Li Yuan could feel that with each punch he "trained," his physique, strength, and so on were constantly increasing.
"Brother Li, you acted so decisively before, did you have some training?" Ye Shi asked while huffing and puffing as he chopped at the tree with his axe.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that? Haven't you ever dreamed about it?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Night Eleven was stunned.
Hearing their conversation, the others also turned their attention to them.
Seeing everyone's interested expressions, Li Yuan shook his head helplessly:
"Didn't 'Light' mention in the group chat before that the game's technical principle is based on interfering with dreams, so playing the game is equivalent to sleeping?"
"Have you ever fought monsters or practiced martial arts in your dreams?"
"Huh? This..." Upon hearing this, Lao Bai, Kuang Feng, Fang Chang, and Ye Shisi looked at each other in bewilderment.
They may have dreamt about it, but that doesn't mean they can do it in this game.
Seeing their troubled expressions, Li Yuan shrugged:
"If you don't understand, there's nothing I can do. I can only say that those who understand will understand, and those who don't, there's nothing I can do."
"Perhaps... your dreams weren't detailed enough?"
"Uh... I'd better just use the axe to chop down the tree." Old Bai swung the axe again.
The others were also dumbfounded by Li Yuan's statement, and could only take it as his talent.
Two hours later, Shuguang came over and said to the group, "It's time to eat."
Upon hearing this, the group immediately followed him back to the sanatorium.
There was a fire burning in the yard, and on the fire sat the large bird that had lost its feathers.
It's barbecue!
"Is this thing edible?"
Looking at the "mutant" on the iron frame, Ye Shi instinctively felt repulsed, but the irresistible aroma made him swallow hard.
Shuguang nodded: "You can eat it once it's cooked. I'll tell you what you can't eat."
As he spoke, he took out a dagger, cut off pieces of meat and distributed them to the others, and then ate them himself first.
Seeing the look of enjoyment on his face, Li Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and started eating heartily as well.
No salt or spices were added to the meat.
As for the taste... well, it's just cooked through and edible.
However, Lao Bai and the others didn't have any objections to this.
You can eat in a game, what more could you want?
Are there any other games that can do this?
After lunch, the five players went back to chopping down trees.
The reason they were so enthusiastic about it was because the manager, Shuguang, had announced a reward system:
A tree as thick as an arm contributes 1 point for every meter it is sturdy.
A tree as thick as a thigh contributes 2 points for every meter it is sturdy.
Settlement will be completed by 4 PM.
Undoubtedly, this reward program immediately ignited the enthusiasm of many players.
The amount of work completed in the afternoon was almost several times that of the morning.
However, most of the achievements naturally came from Li Yuan.
It can be said that he cut down more timber today than the other four people combined.
This situation was naturally a welcome surprise, and it made him remember Li Yuan very well.
After settling the contribution points, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Dawn led the five players back to the shelter, placed them in the incubation pods, and logged them all off.
"Master, the players' medical reports have been updated. Would you like to take a look?" At this moment, the robot Xiao Qi came to Dawn's side.
"A medical examination report?" Shuguang was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, every time a player logs out normally, the incubation pod will scan the player's body inside the pod, record the physical condition, and extract a certain number of embryonic stem cells for backup, and record the progress of gene sequence development," Xiao Qi said.
"Uh, let me see it."
Upon receiving the report, Shuguang scanned the data of each player with lightning speed.
Each player's attributes are divided into five categories: Strength, Agility, Constitution, Perception, and Intelligence.
This also corresponds to the different inclinations of each of the five players.
Finally, his gaze settled on the player's physical data, whose ID was "Wai Fang Li Yuan".
"As expected, this person is very abnormal..."
