Looking at the damaged small earthen room, his grandfather's staggering figure appeared in Tian Cheng's eyes. He rubbed his slightly red eyes and swore inwardly, "I will definitely let my grandfather live a good life. I will make him eternally be happy." Ever since he was young, he had been living a life of mutual dependence with the old man, and his feelings for him could no longer be described with words. After his soul fused, Tian Cheng had a special feeling for his only family member.
Tian Cheng kept thinking. He was no longer the young man who had never seen the face of the world before. He had five thousand years of cultural heritage from the ancient country of civilization, as well as extensive research into some advanced scientific fields in the world. Although his knowledge of magic and martial arts didn't have much to do with this place, it should be enough for him to make a living here.
The first problem he faced was the need for money. Regardless of that world, this problem had to be put first. Without money, there was nothing he could do. Only with enough money could he live a better life, and only then would he have the energy to do other things.
Then how could he earn enough money the fastest? Tian Cheng didn't want to see his old grandpa working for his life anymore. It was also impossible for him to go back to the mountain and foolishly chop firewood.
Looking at the endless mountain behind the house, Tian Cheng instantly came up with an idea. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Aren't those demon beasts all very valuable?" "Although I don't dare to provoke those high level magical beasts, catching a few low level magical beasts should not be a problem, right?" No problem! There was no problem at all. Not to mention the advanced beast hunting knowledge that he already had in mind, even designing one on the spot was extremely easy.
The villagers were extremely familiar with their methods of hunting. All they had to do was to use their arrows and weapons to chase them. The more advanced they were, the more primitive the traps would be. The methods they used to capture the magical beasts were very few in number. Most of the magical beasts they captured died, so even the ones that were seriously injured would eventually die. The dead low-level magical beasts could only be eaten as meat, because other than a few other things on their bodies, there was no other use to them. However, this was not the value of low-level magic beasts. Most low-level magic beasts were tamed and used as pets. Therefore, they had to capture him alive.
Since they were young, they had been very familiar with some low-level magical beasts. The most common magical beasts here were the first-rate Earth Dragon-type rats, and they were very numerous in number. Earth type beasts were very good at digging holes in the ground, and their bodies were as big as an adult rabbit on Earth. They were round and very lovable, and were the most common pets among the young ladies of noble families, but their speed was not something ordinary people could catch up to. According to their habits and stature, Tian Cheng was able to quickly come up with a plan. After quickly drawing on the beast skin paper, a simple model map of the monster trap appeared. Looking at the frame above, Tian Cheng revealed a confident smile.
Holding the drawing in his hand, Tian Cheng began to busy himself with searching around the house for the necessary materials. He also wanted to use stronger iron or something else. The problem was that his family was so poor that they only had wood left. Even if they had harder wood, Tian Cheng wouldn't have the confidence to make it what he wanted without any high-tech tools. He had finished his morning work and had gathered all the materials he needed by this time.
A bunch of things were placed in front of the two grandsons. The old man looked at Tian Cheng with a puzzled expression. He had never seen his grandson do such a weird thing before. Seeing the puzzled look on the old man's face, Tian Cheng smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't be too weird. I, your grandson, have now found a way to earn money, and it's the kind that earns a lot."
The old man didn't show the slightest bit of excitement. Instead, he walked up to Tian Cheng and rubbed his forehead. Why are you spouting nonsense? How much can I buy this little bit of wood? We are indeed a bit poor, but as long as we can see you grow up healthy and grow up well, and get ourselves a little better off, grandpa will be satisfied! "
"No!" "Grandfather!" Tian Cheng hurriedly said. Tian Cheng wasn't surprised by the old man's behavior. As a person who had been poor for a lifetime, his desire for money was already very, very low. Besides, no one would believe his grandson who had always been an honest man.
"Grandfather, I'm speaking the truth. These pieces of wood aren't used for firewood. I can use them to make some low level magical beasts, and the success rate is very high. We will never have to live like this again. We can also eat, dress, and drink like everyone else. Grandfather, believe me, I will definitely be able to do it. " Tian Cheng held onto the old man's hand. He looked into the old man's eyes and said excitedly. He had been thinking about this day for too long! He was endlessly waving a large axe in the mountain to temper his body. But what was the purpose of exercising his body? Wasn't it to earn money and make the lives of his family better!? Now that he was no longer the little boy in the mountain village from before, and he had the ability to create wealth, how could he not be excited?
Looking into his grandson's confident eyes, the old man had completely trusted him. Although he didn't know why he believed in such a ridiculous promise, he still chose to believe that there was no reason to trust at this moment. Perhaps it would be the same in his future life as well. Nodding his head, the old man gave a similarly excited smile: "Child, Grandfather believes in you, Grandfather will always believe in you, it's Grandfather who's the fool! It was fine for him to live his entire life without any vision, but to think that he would even implicate his own grandson. Right! We need to live a good life in the future as well as other people. "
This sentence was probably the most passionate sentence the old man had ever said in his life. 'A life as good as anyone else' might just be the life of an ordinary commoner in his heart. However, this was indeed a better life for Tian Cheng than anyone else.
After lunch, Tian Cheng continued his project, while the old man helped. Although his theoretical knowledge was very good and he had done quite a bit of practice in the past, he had never done this before. He could only rely on his theoretical memory to practice, so his work speed was very slow. There was no way that everyone's first pot of gold wouldn't be so easy to earn. An afternoon had passed, and the grandfather-grandson duo had been busy with their work. The two simple cages were ready, and their ugly appearance did not match its fine structure. But luckily, they were strong enough to be used. The operation was about to begin.
It was tonight that Tiancheng decided to experiment with his masterpiece. After wrapping the cage with branches and leaves, the dark green leaves completely covered the skeleton of the cage.
Tonight, Tian Cheng could only obediently stand by the side of the trap, waiting for his prey to appear. There was no other way. He didn't want to stay in this damned place at night either. He said that there weren't any high level magic beasts here, but who knew if they would come out and take a stroll when they were happy! However, if they didn't stay here, they definitely wouldn't be able to trap those magical beasts for a long time with just those pieces of wood.
"Sigh!" "When I get rich in the future, I will definitely build a few good iron cages and stand guard here all day so that I won't be eaten by magical beasts. Sooner or later, I will be scared out of my wits by myself." He thought about it silently.
After setting up the trap, Tian Sheng hid behind a big tree and paid close attention to his surroundings. With his superhuman senses, everything within ten meters of him was under his control.
The quiet minute passed, and it was already late at night. The moonlight was very bright, making the entire forest seem as if it was wrapped in a huge silver veil. It was a very beautiful scene. However, Tian Cheng, who was sitting on a tree, was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful night scenery. His body was unconsciously soaked in sweat. He was not afraid of death, as he had wandered around the edge of life and death several times. He deeply understood the meaning of life, and treasured even more this hard-won life.
Right at that moment, there was a sound not too far away. Although the sound was very soft, it was still easily heard by Tian Cheng. He turned his little black eyeballs around to make sure there was no danger in his surroundings, and then slowly revealed his chubby body. The round little guy ran as fast as he could to the trap he had designed, and inside was one of their favorite foods. He looked around, and after confirming that it was safe, he finally walked into the cage and began to eat without a care in the world. At this time, a "peng" sound was heard and the cage was closed. This was the most important part of the design. As long as a prey touched the mechanism inside, the cage would automatically close.
Tian Cheng quickly jumped down from the tree, and without waiting for it to resist, he put it into the bag that he had prepared beforehand. At this moment, he did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness. He saw that the person inside had also caught a Earth Dragoon. At this moment, the little guy was struggling with all its might, and the entire cage was deformed, with multiple pieces of wood broken. Tian Cheng sighed, and also put it in.
Looking at the big bag, he wiped off the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile, "At least you have lived up to my hard work today. I have finally earned my first pot of gold. I will start my new life with these two rats!"
