Chapter 3 Cut down trees, add points, and travel around
"This is…"
A familiar picture emerged in his mind, "This is the development panel in the game!"
Wang Mu's heart was beating loudly.
In the game, players can consume action points to allow their characters to automatically practice and travel around.
Practice exercises, martial arts, skills, labor, etc.
In cloud travel, you go to different locations, trigger various events and plots, make choices, engage in battles, etc.
"One action point. In the game, there are four action points per month. Training consumes 1 point, and wandering consumes 2 points."
Wang Mu returned to the wooden house, took off his beggar's clothes, and put on the cloth clothes given by Aunt Hong.
After taking a shower, which was equivalent to taking a bath, Wang Mu felt refreshed and couldn't help but start thinking about the panel when he changed into clothes.
"It seems to be the development system in the game."
"With this, I'm used to it."
"With 1 action point, you can only practice?"
"But now, let alone martial arts, I don't even know the skills...what can I practice?"
-
No. means unable to move.
"We can only see what we can do in the village tomorrow?"
With some expectation, Wang Mu fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
The sky didn't seem to be getting much better. In the distance, on the towering Yunxiao Mountain, there were thunderclouds like ink waving across the sky, imprisoning the whole world.
Fortunately, the rain has become lighter.
Wang Mu found Sister Hong and gave full play to his subjective initiative, saying that he wanted to do something.
However, fishing and killing chickens are both dangerous.
"Xiao Wang, your body is weak and you need to exercise for a while. In this case, you and Uncle Tieniu can go to the purple forest behind the village to chop some firewood."
Chopping wood?
This does not seem to be dangerous.
Wang Mu nodded and followed a two-meter-tall man out of the village again and came to the purple wood forest behind the village.
The big man is called Tieniu. He actually doesn't have many muscles on his body. He just looks strong. It's not the kind of muscles with a toned body, but the kind of neat and silky muscles. He only wears a coarse cloth with a rope tied around his waist.
On the black cloth strips, two half-meter-long short axes were inserted.
I don’t know what the short ax is made of. The blade has a slight cold light, and the body of the ax is engraved with strange patterns. The wooden handle has traces of five fingers. It must have been used for many years. The grooves of the traces are all coated with pulp. The color
Dark.
"Our village has not had outsiders join us for many years."
Tieniu said cheerfully, with a beard on his face, bronze skin, and a tie on his head. His expression was a little silly, but his voice was loud, "Xiao Wang, since you have come to our village, do you need any help?"
, say at any time.”
Wang Mu wanted to ask about the situation in this world.
However…
"outside world?"
"Then what we don't know... we know that there is Guyun Mountain over there, and there is a sect that cultivates immortals on the other side of the mountain, and it is full of immortals who can fly to the sky and escape from the earth."
Tieniu waved his hand, "We haven't been out to the rest. Occasionally, some foreigners stop in our village, or every few years, when the Immortal Sect opens its sect to accept disciples, some foreigners will pass by our village. Listen to what they say
"The outside world is very dangerous. In some places, people eat people without spitting out their bones, and they only eat strong men."
"What is so powerful?" Wang Mu was stunned.
Tieniu looked solemn and said in a low voice:
"I heard from those outsiders that it was a place called Goulan. It's really weird."
"..." Wang Mu.
It feels a little subtle.
This Anle Village is simply isolated from the rest of the world!
I wonder to what extent the world map has expanded after a thousand years?
"Well, the Purple Wood Forest is here." Uncle Tieniu pulled out two axes from behind, "Xiao Wang, Sister Hong told me about you. You have a weak body and bones. Let's try it first. This Purple Wood Tree is a bit hard and is not good for you.
It may not be easy to cut."
"Fortunately, it's not difficult. If you have perseverance, you should be able to cut down one tree in half a month. It can be considered a success."
"Next, look at me first."
Tieniu drew an axe, and the next moment, his momentum changed.
Especially the moment you hold the ax in your hand.
A faint stream of air overflowed from his body.
Wang Mu opened his eyes wide.
The Zishuo tree actually looks a bit like a maple tree. The trunk is not thick, and it doesn't feel very hard... But after what happened yesterday, Wang Mu knows that this thing is probably not simple.
Especially the moment when Uncle Iron Ox struck with his axe.
The air flow rushed past like a strong wind, making Wang Mu's station a little unsteady.
"?"
"Is this momentum for cutting down trees?"
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Wang Mu's forehead, feeling like he was splitting a mountain...
And when the ax struck the purple tree.
Boom!
The ground shook.
Click click click…
There was only a small gap in the Zishuo tree.
Tieniu didn't take it seriously. The ax in his hand swung wildly towards the gap and turned into an afterimage. Within a few breaths, the gap opened and the entire tree broke.
"call…"
Tieniu took a breath, looked at the purple tree, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone, "I don't know when I will be able to chop it with an ax like my grandfather did."
"..." Wang Mu.
It is indeed a fairy world!
The average combat power per capita is so high...
With the momentum and pressure displayed, the swinging axe, the exploding wind and scattered debris, Wang Mu had some doubts that it could really split a mountain...
"Xiao Mu, come and try."
Tieniu handed the other ax to Wang Mu, "It may be uncomfortable at first, but the key is persistence and you'll get used to it."
Wang Mu took the ax and it didn't feel very heavy, maybe over twenty pounds?
You can still swing it.
Recalling Uncle Tieniu's posture, Wang Mu chose the smallest purple tree and chopped it with all his strength with his axe.
boom…
The strong repulsive force caused the ax to come out of the hand directly.
Wang Mu stepped back several steps, until Tieniu held his shoulders and he reluctantly stopped.
"..." Wang Mu.
He took a look at the purple tree and found that there were no traces at all where it was cut...
Is it that hard?
"Don't be anxious, take your time." Tieniu didn't take it seriously at all, as if he had expected it, "I was like this when I first cut down trees. If I can persist, I will be successful. If I can't hold on, let's go back. You chop down this tree first.
, I’ll go find some trees in other places to try.”
With that said, Tieniu walked towards the other side of the Purple Wood Forest.
Wang Mu picked up the ax again and felt numb all over.
After thinking about it, he realized it consciously.
[Current action point: 1]
[Training: Cutting (+)]
【Yunyou:-】
Sure enough, action points can be used.
+ means you can use Action Points to exercise.
So…
Wang Mu hesitated for a few seconds, then with a thought, he consumed action points and added them to the felling skill.
The next moment, Wang Mu was shocked, and a strange feeling seemed to rise in his body, as if he had entered some kind of strange state.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Mu picked up the axe, and all parts of his body seemed to be integrated into one. The force originated from the ground, with his thighs as a square, his waist as the core, transmitted to his arms, and condensed into his wrists...
An ax struck it out!
The purple tree moved slightly.
But soon, Wang Mu swung the ax again, and every bit was the same as before.
Wang Mu didn't know how long this wonderful state lasted. During the process, he didn't even feel tired, only understanding.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Boom!
The ax was swung empty.
The purple tree fell down.
Wang Mu suddenly came back to his senses and felt endless fatigue coming over his body.
He fell to the ground, gasping for air, and his vision was blurred.
Until I saw a face full of shock.
That's Uncle Iron Bull.
His eyes looked like he was seeing a monster.
"Uncle, how long has it been?" Wang Mu was as angry as a gossamer.
"It's past noon...the sun is about to set." Uncle Tieniu was a little silent, "I just took a nap..."
"?"
Are you sure you didn't oversleep?
"Did I...succeed?" Wang Mu asked.
Tieniu looked at the fallen purple tree beside him and nodded, "Success, let's go back."
Speaking of this, he paused and his voice was a little subtle:
"You have a weak body, but you are a little monster with such a strong willpower."
"It took me half a month to chop down one tree, but you did it in one day... Not bad!"
He carried Wang Mu in one hand and the divided firewood in the other, and returned to the village.
Back in the village, we had dinner at Aunt Hong’s house.
This was a meal from another world. Wang Mu ate it very deliciously. He didn’t know whether it was because of the ingredients or because he was too hungry.
After returning to the cabin, it was already dark.
Lying on the bed, Wang Mu felt something.
[Current action point: 0]
[Training: Cutting down (1)]
【Yunyou:-】
"Level 1 felling?"
Wang Mu remembers that in the game, practicing felling will improve the character’s basic attributes such as bones.
After a day of cutting, Wang Mu now felt sore all over, but after eating, he felt a little comfortable again and very tired.
Until the next day.
After Wang Mu got up, he felt full of strength.
"Although there is no panel, I have indeed changed a lot after using action points."
Wang Mu couldn't describe that feeling.
On this day, Wang Mu followed Tieniu and continued to chop down the purple tree.
He was not in the same state as yesterday, but Wang Mu still spent a whole day cutting down a smaller purple tree. His body was still very sore, but it was much better than it had been the previous day.
There was no change in the panel, but Wang Mu could still feel that he had become a little stronger.
Just not as exaggerated as using action points.
"I don't know how to restore these action points? Or is it like the game, where four points are restored in a month?"
Wang Mu shook his head and clenched his fists.
After just two days of cutting down trees, Wang Mu felt as if he had been exercising for half a year. It felt amazing.
Time flies and a month flies by.
Within a month, Wang Mu gradually got used to the ordinary life in Anle Village.
I am also more familiar with the village.
Every day's work is still cutting down trees.
There is a great demand for purple-hued trees in the village. This kind of tree has many uses, from cooking to making tools, etc. Anyway, it has many uses.
This month, Wang Mu has not seen any outside visitors.
I am getting more and more skilled at chopping trees, and my body is getting stronger and stronger. I can easily chop down a tree in a day, and even have some strength left.
Wang Mu feels that his current self should be able to knock his previous self down with one punch...
At the same time, this month, Wang Mu also inquired about it and found out that there were no martial arts or other techniques in the village... The villagers cut down trees and fished all with their own strength.
It is a completely instinctive fighting ability, the kind that has never learned anything.
The weather was still bad, and the sky above the distant clouds was still extremely dark.
According to the villagers, it is still the immortal who has overcome the tribulation, but it is much better than a month ago.
Even the village does not use the kind of golden light talisman to avoid evil spirits, which shows that it has become much safer recently.
It's probably the end of the Tribulation.
only.
"It's been a month...what kind of realm is this cultivator of immortality?"
How can anyone survive the tribulation for so long?
Of course, Wang Mu didn't think too much about it, as the training in Novice Village was still very long.
What makes Wang Mu regretful is that it seems that the action points only recovered a little bit after a month?
Instead of restoring four points like the game.
Anyway, it was not until one day after the second month since the last time he used action points that Wang Mu saw a little more action points.
That night, Wang Mu was hesitating about what to do at this point of action.
Should you continue cutting down trees, or do something else?
"It's a pity. It would be great if I could travel in the clouds."
Wang Mu thought for a while.
The cloud game specifically triggers plot events, which is very important.
In the game, if you keep practicing and developing, you may not even see the final BOSS in the end.
There is a famous saying in the game:
After practicing for three years, he became a beggar and wandered around all day long to become a hero.
If you are a wealthy businessman from a well-known family and start practicing hard, you will end up as a beggar in the final eight achievements.
Even in reality, it is very difficult to succeed by just practicing hard without some adventure.
It's a pity that the thing triggered by Yuanyu is not at an uncertain time.
Especially in reality.
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning was seen outside, and the sky seemed to light up.
Wang Mu looked out the window, and the thunder in the distance gradually disappeared, and there seemed to be a meteor streaking across the sky...
"There's a shooting star."
Wang Mu sighed.
Wang Mu adapted quickly to life in this different world.
How should I put it, it's very similar to his life in the countryside when he was a child... It's not that he can't adapt without mobile phones and computers.
And I can feel myself changing, just like playing a development game, but it's not that different.
"This is a little action..."
Wang Mu's consciousness flashed.
[Current action point: 1]
[Training: Cutting (+)]
【Yunyou:!】
"Huh!"
Wang Mu was shocked.
An exclamation mark appears on Yunyou, which means that action points can be used to trigger the plot!
Wang Mu did not hesitate and directly consumed the action points, and then the panel changed.
【Yunyou: Yunlai Stream(!)】
The location appears, indicating that there should be a special event in this place?
Wang Mu was quite excited.
Yunlaixi is a small stream near the village. Well... in fact, in Wang Mu's opinion, it is a big river.
Without hesitation, Wang Mu stood up and walked towards the outside of the village, holding a torch. Soon he arrived near Yunlai River.
Along the shore, Wang Mu explored and observed carefully.
After walking about two or three hundred steps, the calm stream surface undulated slightly, and in sight, a figure fell on the bank...
