Gao Jing drove his broken motorcycle to Pude Road in the south of the city.
In recent years, domestic tourism has been booming, and more and more people are traveling by car and hiking, which has naturally led to the booming development of related industries.
There used to be only two or three outdoor goods stores in the Pude Road area, but now similar stores have opened in almost half the street.
Yuncheng itself is a tourist city with many scenic spots surrounding it.
Gao Jing's motorcycle stopped at the entrance of the "Revenant Hunter" outdoor store.
He got off the car and walked into the store, and greeted a middle-aged man who was wiping the shelves: "Uncle Fang, good morning."
The middle-aged man turned around when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "Xiao Gao, you're here so early."
Gao Jing smiled.
He only slept for four or five hours last night.
"The Revenant" is one of the earliest outdoor goods stores on Pude Road. Gao Jing had business dealings with the store before, so he got to know the owner.
Uncle Fang didn't waste any time: "Come with me, everything is ready for you."
He locked the glass door and took Gao Jing to the room inside.
There were a bunch of things on the table in the inner room. Uncle Fang picked up one of the crossbows and said: "Sagittarius C-type hunting crossbow, with an effective range of 120 meters, with a laser sight. If it is 90% new, it will cost you 4500. I will give it to you."
50 crossbow arrows.”
As he said that, he put down the crossbow and pulled out a black machete: "The Ontario machete, um, it's a replica, but there is no problem with the quality assurance. Take the brand new 1100."
"This American-made multifunctional saber..."
After introducing all the items, Uncle Fang finally said: "The total is 12,750, you can give me 12,700."
"OK."
Gao Jing took out his mobile phone: "I'll forward it to you via WeChat."
Last night he called Uncle Fang and ordered a complete set of outdoor adventure and hunting equipment.
Came here to pick up the goods this morning.
In addition to crossbows and machetes, there are also necessities such as assault clothing, hiking boots, backpacks, first aid kits, water purifiers, etc.
Although it adds up to a hefty price tag, it’s worth being prepared.
You must know that what he is about to embark on is no ordinary adventure.
Gao Jing did not bargain because Uncle Fang would not cheat him.
The latter's reputation is well-known in the industry.
"Xiao Gao."
Uncle Fang said earnestly: "You can have fun, but you must pay attention to safety."
Strictly speaking, hunting crossbows and machetes are controlled items, and he wouldn't trade them if he wasn't an acquaintance.
When Gao Jing called to order last night, he also asked repeatedly.
"Don't worry."
Gao Jing smiled and said, "I just use it to relax."
His excuse for ordering these items was to resign and go back to his hometown to rest for a while and prepare to have some fun in the mountains.
Uncle Fang nodded and said nothing more.
He has known Gao Jing for three years and has a good understanding of Gao Jing's character.
I know Gao Jing is not the kind of person who likes to mess around.
After fixing the large and small bags on the back seat of the motorcycle, Gao Jing waved goodbye to Uncle Fang and returned to the rental house.
Instead of rushing to explore the new world, he found another thick wooden board to serve as a target and practiced repeatedly in the room to become familiar with and master the use of the hunting crossbow.
Gao Jing searched for some wild survival information and videos on the Internet to observe and learn.
Having too many skills will not overwhelm your body, and you will regret having too few books when you put them to use!
Although the copper anchor can allow him to come back at any time, ensuring safety to the greatest extent.
But mastering more knowledge will undoubtedly help him explore the new world.
It wasn't until the morning of the fifth day after he obtained the copper anchor that Gao Jing put on all his equipment and prepared to set off for the adventure.
Gao Jing touched the copper anchor hanging on his chest.
These days, he wears the necklace every day and does not take it off when bathing or sleeping. He feels that the connection with the copper anchor is getting closer and closer.
This feeling is very mysterious.
Even if the copper anchor is thrown far away, he can retrieve it accurately.
"Let's go!"
As soon as the thought came, the high scene disappeared in an instant.
He appeared again in the forest of the unknown world.
"Huh?"
Gao Jing, whose whole body was tense and ready to escape at any moment, was stunned.
What Gao Jing was most worried about did not happen. It did not turn into night and there were no wild animals around him.
The scene in front of him was very familiar, it was still the same place he was teleported to for the first time, and the time in this world seemed to have stopped at the moment he left last time, and was not reactivated until he came again!
This is very interesting.
Gao Jing looked at the multifunctional mountaineering watch he wore. The temperature, air pressure, altitude and other data displayed on it were all normal, and even the compass function was fine.
Of course, there is no satellite signal, otherwise Gao Jingde would doubt his life.
The time on the watch shows 8:25 minutes and 17 seconds in the morning.
He cautiously took a few steps forward.
The gravity environment is basically the same as that of Blue Star. I don't feel that I am getting heavier or lighter.
Then I took out the Geiger counter and measured it.
The index is normal.
Gao Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The air here is exceptionally fresh, perhaps because it is in the forest and has a relatively high oxygen content.
Under his feet was earth covered with fallen leaves and rich in humus, and his boots would sink a few centimeters when he stepped on them.
But it has little impact on actions.
Putting away the Geiger counter, Gao Jing began to carefully explore this strange world.
It didn't get off to a smooth start.
Thick vines were occupying the territory in the forest wantonly, and countless tree roots growing tall and crawling on the ground became the biggest obstacle to his progress.
It was difficult for a sharp machete to cut off the tough vine branches. In order to save energy, Gao Jing could only try his best to avoid the insurmountable obstacle. It was really impossible to avoid it and then climb over.
When he turned over and jumped to the ground, there was a sudden "buzzing" sound in his ears.
Gao Jing turned around and saw dozens of blue-purple mosquitoes flying towards him at high speed!
Encountering mosquitoes in the forest is normal, but these mosquitoes are each larger than an adult's fist.
They flap their wings, extend their long sharp mouthparts forward, and point straight towards the high scenery.
Like mini dive bombers!
Gao Jing was immediately startled.
Such a big mosquito would suck him into a mummy on the spot!
Gao Jing reacted very quickly. He immediately took out the mosquito repellent water from his waist pocket and sprayed it on the flying mosquitoes.
Balls of mist were sprayed into the air, emitting a strong smell.
Since he was not sure whether the mosquito repellent water would be effective against mosquitoes in this world, he was also ready to return.
Fortunately the mosquito repellent worked.
The purple mosquitoes were extremely disgusted by the smell of mosquito repellent. They turned around and quickly disappeared from Gao Jing's sight.
Gao Jing, who was nervous, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and quickly sprayed himself with mosquito repellent.
I just discovered it in advance. If I were to be attacked by a sneak attack, my jacket might not be able to block it.
Thinking about it makes me a little scared.
He had just finished spraying the mosquito repellent when suddenly another rustling sound came into his ears.
Gao Jing's eyes narrowed, and his whole person instantly became stiff!
Only a few meters away from him, a palm-wide dark red centipede emerged from the dark grass.
It shook its head and tail, stepped on the dead branches and leaves with its dense footsteps, and slowly crawled into the mud hole next to it.
By visual inspection, it is at least two meters long!
Gao Jing really felt like he was having sex with a dog.
He once read an article online saying that the largest giant centipede on Blue Star was only over 40 centimeters long.
Compared with the centipede I just saw, it was a complete freshman in the small class.
Gao Jing then looked at the towering trees around him. Each one was so high that it was almost impossible to reach the top.
The smallest tree he could find with his eyes could not be surrounded by several people, and its growth shape was obviously different from that of a big tree.
Combining what he saw in his dream, Gao Jing made a surprising guess.
That is, the creatures on this planet, whether they are plants or animals, are all very large. Even mosquitoes, ants and insects are ten or even ten times larger than Blue Star.
In other words, this is a truly "big" world.
It's like a blue star magnified ten times!
The high scenes that appear in this big world undoubtedly belong to "little" people, just like Gulliver who came to Brobdingnag!
Go Waller!
This inference, which was most likely the truth, made Gao Jing's scalp numb and his whole body trembled.
The courage to explore the world has almost been lost.
Because the dangers he may encounter in this big world are ten times or a hundred times greater than originally imagined!
Although the copper anchor can make Gao Jing return to Blue Star instantly, there are too many surprises that are difficult to predict.
Maybe when he was trekking hard in the forest, a wild beast suddenly ran over and trampled him to death just by accidentally passing by.
It’s too late to react!
what to do?
Gao Jing suddenly fell into a great dilemma whether to give up or continue exploring——
ps: Since many readers don’t understand it, I’ll explain it here first.
The ten times larger setting in this book refers to the size, not the volume and weight. The protagonist in the big world is like an 18 cm tall little person in the real world.
And the animals and insects in the big world cannot be poured out of the same mold. There must be many kinds, big and small.
Take the real world as an example. The largest mosquito is 4 centimeters. When magnified ten times, it is 40 centimeters. The smallest one is only a few millimeters. When magnified ten times, it is several centimeters. It cannot be generalized.
Finally, the big world is not a scientific plane, thank you.
