Chapter 3

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Outside the room, heavy rain was pouring, but the place remained brightly lit.

The torch burned fiercely, driving away the last trace of coldness. Zhuo Bufan’s confusion and perturbed mood after arriving in the other world also slightly improved.

Since he had nothing to do, he decided to check all the Elementary 1 Star Scrolls.

As he opened the scroll, Zhuo Bufan’s mood was that of excitement, coupled with a hint of longing.

This was like playing an online game before he transmigrated and getting a chance to draw from a treasure box. It was just one word, exhilarating!

But the moment he saw the Scrolls, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

He consecutively opened six scrolls, all of which were tools related to his daily life. This made the powerless Zhuo Bufan somewhat vexed.

This lasted until he opened the seventh scroll.

What greeted his eyes was a picture of a rather simple axe.

[Woodcutting Axe]

[A woodcutter’s tool of choice. Does not look very sharp.]

[Synthesis Materials: Branches x1, Flintstone X1]

“Axe? It can barely be considered a self-defense tool, right?”

“It’s fine if it’s just the branches, but where can I find the flint?!”

“Can you give me something more reliable?”

There was only one last scroll left. Zhuo Bufan gritted his teeth and tapped on it.

“Please, save this child! Father System, give your child something good!”

“Open!”

[Ice Fire Magestaff]

[The replica of the Divine Artifact of Ice and Fire currently in the hands of the Dark Archmage Cariana. Although it is an imitation, it contains extraordinary magical energy!]

[Synthesis Materials: Branches x1, Obsidian Stone x1]

“Ice Fire Magestaff, that sounds awesome. The problem is, where can I find obsidian?!”

Zhuo Bufan was secretly vexed in his heart. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

“Ask if you don’t know! There are so many big shots in the group!”

He went into the [Ten Thousand Races Battlefield World Channel].

Within the [Human Race Channel]…

[Dear Big Bosses, I’m new here and don’t know the rules. I’ll first pay my respects to all the big bosses here. By the way, would anyone know where I can find flint and obsidian?]

After hiding his ID, Zhuo Bufan carefully entered this sentence. After confirming that the words were very modest and there weren’t too many problems, he clicked on the send button.

Holding his breath, his heart accelerated and his hands trembled at the thought of obtaining an answer….

[Flint? Obsidian? What’s that?]

[I don’t know, but according to my surveillance, the territory we have is huge, and our resources are endless! There’s no harm in taking a look around!]

[Makes sense!]

[Song Chenxing: Haha, everyone! I was lucky to find a Glazed Vermilion Fruit. It can cleanse the marrow and the bones. With it, I will be able to break through the ninth layer of Body Tempering and enter the Postnatal realm. Hahaha…]

[Congratulations, Benefactor. By the way, I would still like to ask if you have seen my disciple? It is a monkey with a hairy face and a loud voice…]

[I didn’t see any monkeys, if not, I would have killed them along the way. I could even get to eat some monkey brains as a side dish for my meal!]

[Amitabha, I have sinned, I have sinned. Remember to call me along if you manage to cook some…]

[Same here!]

[…]

“???”

“What the f*ck?!”

“A noob doesn’t have human rights?! Are you listening to me?!”

In front of the screen, Zhuo Bufan was a little frenzied. He also did not think that the topic would be inexplicably brought to a hairy-faced, loud mouthed monkey just like that.

“I really want to follow the communication lines and beat this guy to death!”

“What do I do now? Do I have to rely on my luck?”

Unable to get the answer he wanted, he had no choice but to resort to the most primitive method.

Follow the map!

He opened the system, opened the scroll, and found the picture of the obsidian. Just as he tapped on the obsidian with his fingertip and was about to zoom in, a change occurred.

[Obsidian selected. Locating…]

[Finding position….]

[Target locked.]

Immediately after, a map that looked like a radar screen popped up on the system interface.

On the map, there was an arrow the size of a mouse and a flashing dot of light.

“This… Could this be a radar that is able to automatically track items?!”

Having many years of gaming experience, Zhuo Bufan quickly judged that the arrowhead represented his own position, and this light dot…

It definitely represented the position of obsidian!

“The Heavens always leave a way out!”

Overjoyed, Zhuo Bufan did not care if it was raining outside the house either, directly braving the rain and walking out of his room, setting off to search for obsidian.

Along the way, he did the same thing and locked onto the position of the flintstone. Conveniently, it was along the path he needed to take to get the obsidian stone.

He did not walk far before he found the flintstone.

The flintstone was extremely dense and heavy to the touch. The gray light on the surface was only faintly discernible.

He opened the system, clicked on the synthesis column before placing branches and flintstone within.

“BzzBzz….Ka… Bzzbzz….”

There was a crackle of static, louder this time than the synthetic torch had been, and it felt like the entire system was about to short circuit.

Half a minute later, an axe appeared.

Zhuo Bufan picked up the axe and weighed it in his hand. It felt well balanced.

He tested the sharpness of the axe blade, and found that it did not feel as blunt as what was described by the system.

At least, Zhuo Bufan was satisfied with the current sharpness.

The road was flat, and there were no obstructions along the way, so it was useless at the moment. Zhuo Bufan conveniently placed it on his belt as he continued to sprint in the direction of the obsidian.

As he got closer to the light spot, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

“Gulu gulu… snortsnort….”

Zhuo Bufan stopped, before looking around. His eyes sharpened.

It was a wild boar.

The wild boar had a pitch black body and red eyes. It was currently sprawled on the ground, its mane standing on end, and under its nose, two tusks that were more than ten centimeters long extended out. The tusks shone a ghastly white under the weak light.

It seemed to have sensed that someone was approaching. Its thick and powerful limbs quickly stomped on the ground and it bounced up.

It then glared at the human who dared to invade its territory.

“Take it or not, that is the question!”

Zhuo Bufan looked at this wild boar that wasn’t very big, but appeared fierce and fiendish. Being uncertain about its strength, he didn’t rashly advance.

His right hand carefully pulled out the axe and held it in his hand.

But this action made the boar sense danger.

“Roar…”

The boar made a guttural warning sound from its throat as it dug its limbs into the ground. However, it did not choose to attack immediately.

The man and boar were in a stalemate for a while.

Gradually, Zhuo Bufan was unable to restrain himself.

“Let’s take a gamble. I’ll lay out all my cards. If I can kill it, I’ll get an extra serving of BBQ pork tonight!”

“It’s definitely not strong. Otherwise, it would have pounced on me long ago!”

“That must be it!”

As he motivated himself in his heart like this, at this moment, Zhuo Bufan seemed to have seen a fragrant roasted pig when he looked at it once again. He immediately let out a roar, raised his axe, and directly charged forward.

“Roar…”

The boar roared as well and charged.

Once they came into contact, Zhuo Bufan realized that he somewhat underestimated this wild boar. While it was not big, its size belied its true strength.

The 1.8-meter tall man was almost knocked over by the wild boar on their first round.

After one round, Zhuo Bufan got hit on his leg, while the wild boar suffered an axe blow, blood splattering everywhere.

Two rounds…

Three rounds…

In the Nth round, Zhuo Bufan seized the opportunity and struck down on its head with his ax. The boar could no longer support itself and collapsed weakly to the ground.

It had bled to its death.

“I didn’t expect wild boars to be so hard to kill. Fortunately, I had the axe!”

“Otherwise, I would have died on the spot.”

Sitting on the ground, Zhuo Bufan was panting heavily. But looking at the spoils of war in front of him, it was worth it!

[Boar skin detected.. Pick up?]
