Chapter 10: Chapter 9 Break-In
```
Wiping the slime off the magazines with leaves, Tao Yu inserted the three newly acquired magazines into the slots on the chest of his leather armor.
Although the dead guy here had probably absorbed all the Yuan Force items he brought, Tao Yu still replenished some magazines from his body, making up for the loss of his devoured pack.
This python was not the one he had injured; only Liu Wen's corpse was inside, not his own backpack.
Besides, he could feel the Yuan Force from the python's body converging after death, accumulating on a tooth in its mouth.
Tao Yu extracted this tooth and absorbed it, gaining roughly fifteen units of Yuan Force and some messy information about its diet.
Thanks to Mental Immunity, Tao Yu wasn't affected by the disordered information at all, and he had a vague sense of understanding. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
If he continued and could kill similar pythons to complete the information, he might gain one or two complete related skills.
They should be related to stealth and explosive power.
The quality of the skills might be average, but for Tao Yu, who had Deification, they weren't to be frowned upon.
Turning to look at Zhang Wei who was skillfully dealing with the python's body, cutting the snake meat into pieces and roasting them over the fire, Tao Yu wiped down the handgun he got from Liu Wen and said,
"How are your firearm skills?"
Liu Wen's assault rifle had been damaged by the python's bite, but there was still a handgun that could be used.
Hearing Tao Yu's words, Zhang Wei, who was engaged in cutting the python meat and covered in blood, also looked up with an embarrassed smile,
"I, I've never trained."
Upon hearing this, Tao Yu immediately dismissed the idea of lending the spare handgun to him.
While firearm usage might seem simple, it's quite troublesome for someone who has never touched one, and might even pose a threat to oneself.
He then holstered the handgun on the other thigh leather holster.
After absorbing the python's tooth and obtaining that fragmented information, Tao Yu still wanted to continue hunting these pythons.
Arming Zhang Wei a bit at this time would actually have a positive effect, but since he had no firearm skills, Tao Yu wouldn't waste bullets on his practice.
Looking down at the sizable amount of python meat that had been cut, Tao Yu also spoke up to remind,
"That's enough, you'll carry this meat later."
"Oh, okay."
Zhang Wei looked somewhat reluctantly at the mostly wasted python corpse but still dutifully began to roll the cut meat over the fire to roast.
In the Outer City, there are a few designated places selling supplies at exorbitant prices, where two units of Yuan Force could only buy a pound of meat, and yet they only offered one unit of Yuan Force for five pounds when buying from hunters.
However, whether his skill level was truly (E+) was uncertain; there might be some exaggeration.
"Good, my talent is [Dynamic Vision] (B)," Tao Yu said, revealing one of his talents to give Zhang Wei some confidence. "I can see clearly at night too. If you think about it, we complement each other well. But I plan to continue hunting these pythons. Are you sure you want to follow me?"
If he had encountered the twins, he might reveal [Dynamic Vision] (MAX) to enhance his value.
But now, there was no need to show off as long as he could keep Zhang Wei in line.
"A combat talent of B rank? Bro Tao, you're awesome! Rest assured, as long as you can hold the line, I'll cooperate with you," Zhang Wei praised, genuinely surprised in his heart. [Dynamic Vision] might be just a standard combat talent, but at the B rank, it should easily allow one to join the security forces, right?
Perhaps with enough effort, one might even get a chance to enter the Inner City?
That was something he dared not even dream of.
Then he said somewhat awkwardly,
"Um, actually, my talent is D+ level. I was in a team with someone before, and he seemed a bit jealous."
Since there was no longer any need to worry about jealousy, Zhang Wei wanted to inflate his value a bit.
As for the gains from the Day of Awakening, Zhang Wei had no expectations whatsoever.
He himself didn't possess any valuable skills, relying solely on talent to get by. To put it plainly, now that he had Yuan Force, he could only do calisthenics to improve his physical fitness, which was both wasteful and inefficient.
Since [Endurance] (D+) ensured the minimum requirement anyway, why not use the limited Yuan Force to enhance his strength by supporting the capable ones?
"Not bad, the stronger the better," Tao Yu enticed. "I'll take any Yuan Force-related materials. If you do well, I can even let you take back the snake meat and Liu Wen's handgun afterwards."
Tao Yu dangled a small carrot.
When traveling between places, aside from volume restrictions, there were also weight limitations.
That's why homes were filled with odds and ends.
The weight limit was determined by the individual's unaffected carrying capacity. With Zhang Wei's [Endurance] (D+), he should have the chance to carry back a load of fifty kilograms at the end.
Plus, an ordinary handgun worth about a hundred Yuan Force would be a decent haul for Zhang Wei.
For Tao Yu's parents, such a gain might amount to half a month's work.
He could have offered nothing, but setting a goal and keeping it hanging could better mobilize the other party's initiative.
"Thank you, thank you! I will definitely work hard!"
Zhang Wei was clearly prompted into some enthusiasm, appearing somewhat uplifted.
His talent wasn't outstanding, and even if he went back and sold himself, it would only be for manual labor, just a much better life than before. Such a harvest was worth the risk for him!
Moreover, this elder brother possessed the [Dynamic Vision] (B) talent, with an obvious foundation in firearms handling, shooting extremely accurately. These pythons seemed dangerous, but were still within an acceptable range...
