Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

As someone with a bit of a persecution complex, back on Earth, Tang Wen often fantasized about what to do if he was ever hurt or gaslighted by his boss or girlfriend. Or what if he got a bottle smashed over his head while eating late-night snacks outside?

Later, he realized that just finding a job was a blessing.

He never got to experience girlfriend-related gaslighting.

Nor did he ever encounter the kind soul who would smash a bottle over his head.

After arriving in this apocalyptic world, he repeatedly dreamed of being robbed and attacked.

While resting and waiting in the forest, he often rehearsed and imagined in his mind what to do if he were attacked.

Now, seeing this person rushing toward him, Tang Wen was flustered but not afraid.

He retreated repeatedly, launching three stones in quick succession!

In his imagination, these three stones should have hit the opponent's eyes and Adam's apple respectively.

But in his panic, he lost his accuracy and ended up hitting him in the face.

Although he splattered the man's face with blood, he failed to stop him from charging forward.

Hiss!

The pointed end of the stick was close at hand.

Tang Wen pulled out the dagger from his waist and flung it out!

Pfft.

Right in the neck.

A large amount of pink foam gathered on the dark neck, covering the blade.

Clatter, the stick fell to the ground, and the man collapsed.

[Skill: Stone Throwing, Proficient (997→1021/3000)]

[Skill: Knife Throwing, Mastered (309→417/1000)]

Whew!

Tang Wen sat down on the ground with a thud, the firewood in his basket scattered all over the place.

After a while, he finally caught his breath and stood up in a daze, looking at the scavenger on the ground, blood flowing continuously, the smell of blood pungent.

He didn't feel like vomiting, but he didn't dare to look at the man's bulging, unclosed eyes.

After a few minutes, he moved his feet, forced himself to walk forward, endured the feeling of dread, pulled out the dagger, wiped it randomly on the ground, packed up his basket, and left in a slightly flustered manner.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about killing someone, but actually killing someone was completely different from just thinking about it.

Especially since Tang Wen was just an ordinary person.

Inside the hut.

Suddenly, Tang Wen sat up, muttering softly, "It's fake, it's fake..."

This was the third time he had woken up in fright, his back completely soaked.

"Xiao Wen, you're awake again? Having another nightmare?"

Tang Tang rubbed her eyes and luxuriously picked up a fire starter to light the oil lamp.

Using the warm yellow light, she got up and poured a bowl of water.

"It's okay, Sis, you go to sleep."

Tang Tang didn't leave but sat down beside him instead, asking softly, "Little Bro, I saw blood on your dagger, was it?"

"It's rabbit blood."

"But that rabbit wasn't even skinned properly. By the way, the rabbit skin can be exchanged for things. Remember to ask the blacksmith for more stuff when you give it to him tomorrow. A complete rabbit skin can make a hat! It's worth at least 7 jin—no, it should be worth 9 jin of millet. The potatoes and sweet potatoes they give are covered in mud, so we have to give them two jin for one to make it worth our while..."

Listening to his sister's rambling, Tang Wen smiled without realizing it.

Tang Tang stopped talking. "Xiao Wen, you're capable, more capable than the people in the camp. You killed someone, didn't you?"

Tang Wen was silent.

Tang Tang continued, "I knew it when you came back. You were just standing there blankly, your knife was covered in blood, even on your pants. You didn't say a word while eating, and you only answered with a grunt when I asked you something. You weren't as focused on practicing as you were yesterday..."

Tang Wen smiled wryly. He thought he had disguised himself well, that he was very calm, but he didn't expect his sister to see right through him.

After thinking about it, he told her what happened today.

Tang Tang frowned when she heard this. "You don't have any fighting experience."

"Yeah."

"Then tomorrow, when you go to the blacksmith, don't exchange for too many potatoes. Have him teach you how to fight. I heard he knows how to use a knife. He used to be a guard."

"When you encounter robbers, you have to kill them. They don't work themselves but still want to rob others. If you give it to them, they'll keep an eye on you every day and keep robbing you. Robbing your firewood, robbing your red-billed queleas and millet..."

By the end, the young lady was furious.

Although the person had already been killed by her brother, she was still scared and angry just thinking about it!

The siblings talked for a while, and Tang Tang went back to bed. In a daze, Tang Wen seemed to hear her muttering, "Dare to rob my rice, I'll beat you to death..."

The next day, the fog was thick.

Before the fog dissipated, Tang Wen arrived at the blacksmith's shop.

"Little Tang Brother is here?" Li Da Niu's eyes lit up, wondering how many red-billed queleas it was today.

"Brother Li looks radiant recently."

"Hehe, isn't that because I've been having meat with every meal!" Li Da Niu stroked his bald head.

"Today, Brother Li is in for a treat."

"Got some rare goods?"

"Take a look."

"Rabbit! Little Tang Brother, you're getting more and more capable!" Li Da Niu picked up the rabbit's ears and weighed it. "Thirty jin of potatoes, plus a dagger, how about it?"

Tang Wen smiled. "I heard Brother Li knows swordsmanship?"

"Hmm?" Li Da Niu looked at him.

The latest novels are available at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"I'm just asking casually, Brother Li. Can you teach me?"

"I can, but my skills aren't anything special."

Tang Wen quickly said, "Brother Li, you're being modest. I've been wanting to learn the sword. Consider this rabbit as tuition."

"I only know a set of Wind-Splitting Saber, it doesn't need that much. But to practice the saber, you need a saber. Practice here at my place, you can just grab one and use it. Once you've learned it, give me some queleas as compensation, and I'll give you the saber, how about that?"

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Li."

"No need to thank me."

With a few words, the two agreed on the saber practice.

In addition to this rabbit, Tang Wen would send Li Da Niu five more red-billed queleas every day, and Li Da Niu would teach Tang Wen the saber three times a day.

The two were decisive in their actions. Li Da Niu immediately selected a thick-backed saber for Tang Wen from the saber rack.

"Swing it a few times. If you find it too heavy, switch to a lighter one."

People in the camp rarely get enough to eat every day.

Thick-backed sabers were used by the guards. Not to mention Tang Wen, this half-grown child, even farmers would find it heavy.

[Body: 1.05]

Tang Wen glanced at his physical attribute.

After recent exercise, it had increased by 0.05.

He gripped the saber and started slashing, the wind whistling, and he didn't feel tired even after a while.

Li Da Niu was surprised. "Little Tang, you're so thin, but you're quite strong!"

"Haha, it's natural, it's natural."

"Alright, let's start practicing today. This set of saber techniques I learned when I was a guard is called the Eight Wind-Splitting Slashes."

As they spoke, Li Da Niu hung the door from the inside and went to the backyard.

"Husband, what's this?" A woman came out of the house.

This was the first time Tang Wen had seen Li Da Niu's wife. She had a big belly, was fair-skinned, and had a beautiful smile. She was the first beauty Tang Wen had seen in this post-apocalyptic world since he transmigrated.

As for his own sister, it wasn't that she wasn't beautiful, but she was too thin and hadn't fully developed yet.

"Hello, Sister-in-law, I'm Tang Wen."

"Little Tang Brother, hello. I've heard your Brother Li mention you, you're a capable person."

Seeing that Tang Wen was very polite and didn't stare, Li Da Sao had a good impression of him.

Li Da Niu also thought highly of him. Occasionally, there were neighbors who had seen his wife, and every one of them stared blankly.

This Little Tang is no ordinary person!

The couple exchanged glances, Li Da Sao went back to the house to cook, and Li Da Niu picked up his usual saber. "Little Tang, I'll show you once first. The first move, a head-on, fierce slash, the Wind-Splitting Saber..."

Swish!

The big saber slashed fiercely, the wind roaring.
