Chapter 001: The Calamity of Mountain Dwelling
The tiger that only emits a cat's cry is certainly not dead, and Ren Chuke does not dare to take the risk of rushing out. A wounded beast is even more ferocious, and Ren Chuke does not believe that his crossbow can kill such a swift and fierce creature.
Apart from the crossbow, the only remaining tool is the kitchen knife in the backpack. It is only when the knife is needed that one regrets having too few. I spent over 30,000 yuan to buy three knives: a boning knife, a multifunctional knife, and a cleaver. For such a massive beast, they are hardly sufficient.
Had I really been asleep for an entire year? Ren Chu took out his phone; indeed, apart from the lack of signal, the time displayed was in a normal state.
Overnight, this world has transformed into a land of giants The fortunate mountain cabin remains the same size, and the items inside have not changed either
Ren Chu observed that several small trees remained unchanged, their leaves merely beginning to wither and fall, which further accentuated the towering height of the rapidly growing trees
Ren Chuchong rushed to the corner, opened his climbing backpack, quickly drew his crossbow, and placed a .380 crossbow bolt on the slide, aiming it at the door.
Indeed, this is the content that Ren Chu inputted regarding the description of rabbit meat. Ren Chu's palms were sweating, and his breathing was rapid. This was definitely not an illusion, but what exactly was happening? Had his mind transformed into a super brain? Or was the content from the laptop transferred into his own mind?
In densely populated cities, fire meteors are most concentrated, and the vast urban landscape seems to be shrouded in a rain of fire. Countless people flee in panic, yet they are still precisely struck by the fire meteors
This is about protecting animals; shooting a tiger could result in several years of imprisonment, and it would be difficult to explain where the hunting crossbow came from. This is a strictly prohibited item, and the offense is much more serious than carrying a controlled knife.
Some people were not struck by the fire meteor; they cried out while dialing their mobile phones that had no signal, avoiding the vehicles that were blocking the traffic, and rushed towards their homes or the places where their family members worked or studied
In the vast starry sky, a star suddenly exploded, sending billions of metallic dust particles hurtling into the Earth's atmosphere. One metallic dust particle is indistinguishable, while countless particles blanket the sky.
The middle-aged woman said tremulously: "A meteor has fallen from the sky, and you and the young lady have fainted. There is now no way to contact the outside world. Jialan, you must think of a way to save the young lady quickly"
A cat's meow? This is certainly not the sound of a tiger. But whose tiger would meow like a cat? Just as an injured wolf will only howl and will never bark like a dog, this pertains to the dignity of the beast.
Two days ago, the perverse CEO pinched Ren Chu's bottom, prompting Ren Chu to flee in panic and drive into the mountains
Ren Chu wielded a bone-cutting knife with great effort, as long weapons held the advantage, allowing him to thrust through the hole in the door. This exemplifies the principle that an inch longer is an inch stronger
After getting it done, I will go down the mountain and resign, I can no longer endure this. Thinking back to that day when the perverted CEO twisted on his backside, Ren Chu felt his body tremble, half out of anger and half out of fear
The dense jungle above is likewise shrouded, the lush greenery enveloped in the shimmering glow of flames, and then the earth descends into darkness, never to see the brilliant lights again
The sound of scratching at the door echoed, waking Ren Chu, who realized it was already well past noon. The scratching was loud, the sound of sharp claws against the door. Fortunately, the cabin in the mountains was built with logs to guard against wild beasts, and the wooden door was also made of solid timber.
Under the twilight, a solitary lamp illuminates a person focused intently on their work. Ren Chu is excitedly examining every detail. The most user-friendly aspect of this system is that by inputting the names and quantities of ingredients, it customizes a recipe tailored to the user, including various details of the cooking process
The mountain lynx, also known as the bobcat, can reach a length of up to 1 meter from head to tail when fully grown. However, this particular mountain lynx measures nearly 3 meters in total length, comparable in size to a tiger. Ren Chumei felt a faint pain in her forehead; what on earth is happening in this world? Who can provide an answer?
Ren Chu reloaded the crossbow and approached the door, peering through the hole he had made. Something was amiss; how had the small trees outside grown so much overnight
Faint footsteps could be heard, and Ren Chu immediately raised his crossbow. When a furry head appeared at the hole, Ren Chu did not hesitate to pull the trigger. The bolt shot through the opening, followed by a piercing cry from a cat.
This system was developed entirely by Ren Chu, possessing absolute intellectual property rights. Naturally, during his time at the company, he did not hesitate to engage in personal work under the guise of company duties, with the majority of the "Swallowing Heaven and Consuming Earth" system being created using the company's computers
Roughly hewing out the shape of a spear, Ren Chu's stomach growled. Ren Chu's gaze turned to the rabbit he had poached yesterday, which was half stewed, intending to roast it today.
People have gone mad; after being struck by fire meteors, they have acquired special abilities. A new era has arrived, and they have lost the constraints of the law. They possess immense power and can freely plunder wealth
In the bustling city, vehicles came to a halt, power plants ceased operations, satellites in the sky were pierced by fire meteors, and communications were interrupted
Such a profound and extensive culinary system is sure to attract many food enthusiasts. Upon returning, I will resign and officially launch it, aiming for a public listing within two years and to enter the wealth rankings within ten years
How could such a tremendous change occur overnight? The mobile phone cannot connect to the outside world; unless one climbs to a nearby mountain, it can only be used to tell the time
Ren Chu spat out the cigarette butt, his gaze fixed on the laptop screen. He had been living in the mountains for two days. The Devouring Heaven and Earth system was about to complete its final testing
The forest ranger in the mountains, Old Liu, is a friend of Ren Chu, whom he met at the archery club. The humorous Ren Chu is skilled in cooking and often boasts about his ancestry, claiming that his forebears included imperial chefs. This has helped him make many friends and successfully earned him recognition for his self-proclaimed nickname of "Chef Ren".
Ren Chu placed the crossbow against the headboard, with the arrow tip aimed at the gap in the door. The wooden door, crafted from raw timber, was quite rudimentary, featuring large gaps sufficient for a crossbow bolt to pass through
Ren Chu used both hands and feet to draw the crossbow, charging towards the door with the weapon raised. Outside the door, a mountain cat, wounded in the side and with a crossbow bolt embedded in its head, writhed in pain.
The crime of shooting a tiger is severe, but the consequences of losing one's own life are even more serious. This question does not require much contemplation; Ren Chu quickly realized that after killing the tiger, one should find a way to dispose of the body, leaving nothing behind except for the tiger's whip. However, shouldn't one at least taste the tiger's meat? As a seasoned foodie, to let meat that is right at one's lips go uneaten is simply an unforgivable sin
Metallic dust surged into the atmosphere, transforming into slender meteors that shot in all directions, falling upon pedestrians on the road, as well as on the birds, beasts, and trees in the forest
A sturdy door was punctured, revealing a furry paw. A tiger? With its yellow and black coloration and such large claws, it must be the tiger that has long been extinct according to m.hetushu.com.
If it were not for this reason, this technology company is quite appealing, with high salaries, excellent benefits, many attractive women, extensive social connections, and a promising future. However, what is intolerable is that perverse CEO who has returned from abroad
However, there was still a way. Ren Chu repeatedly confirmed through the hole that the tiger had disappeared. He took out a bone cleaver and chopped off the long wooden beam supporting the outside of the wooden bed. This wooden bed, made of elm, may not be aesthetically pleasing, but it is sturdy and durable.
More than two hours later, a valiant woman dressed in a leather jacket woke up. She pushed herself up with her hands and immediately sprang to her feet, looking around warily as she asked, "Aunt Zhang, what happened?"
The forest ranger's cabin in the mountains serves as a resting place for Ren Chu. While others enjoy traveling to famous mountains and rivers, and the affluent may even travel abroad, Ren Chu's form of travel is to venture into the mountains. In this vast and open world, Ren Chu finds this to be the greatest enjoyment
Some individuals crouched on the ground began to search the wallets, mobile phones, and jewelry of the deceased and the unconscious. This quickly led to a scramble. When those struck by the meteor suddenly swung their fists, flames erupted... Some froze their opponents into ice...
A small meteorite pierced through the wall of the small room, penetrated the laptop, and directly embedded itself into Ren Chu's forehead. Ren Chu's body arched backward as if struck by a bullet, then he leaned forward onto the makeshift wooden table.
The middle-aged woman's hands trembled uncontrollably as she approached the safe with her quaking legs. After opening it, she retrieved a handgun, then closed the security door. With both hands raised, she sat on the edge of the sofa, aiming at the entrance.
In the hall behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, a short-haired, valiant woman lay on the ground, having also fainted. The middle-aged woman placed the unconscious woman on the sofa, picked up her mobile phone, but there was no signal. She then picked up the landline and heard a busy tone.
The crossbow bolt precisely passed through the narrow gap between two logs, followed by a piercing cat's cry from outside, and then the sound of hurried retreat.
A woman with a shaved head fainted in the swimming pool. A middle-aged woman jumped into the water and pulled the slender woman out, shouting loudly: "Jialan, Jialan, the young lady has fainted, quickly..."
The first person to wake up quickly sensed that something was amiss. Coincidentally, after unleashing a terrifying special ability, they felt an extreme hunger, as if their gastrointestinal tract was on fire. Their bodies felt intensely empty, large beads of cold sweat streamed down, leaving them feeling utterly exhausted
The sun shone brightly outside, and the shadow of the massive beast could be discerned through the gaps in the logs, as Ren Chuping held her breath and pulled the trigger
How could the Devouring Heaven and Earth system appear in my mind? ... Ren Chu's gaze turned towards the rabbit meat, and the system interface's ingredient options opened up, displaying a line of text in a Song-style font: Plateau Wild Rabbit Meat, nature cool and taste sweet, high in protein, low in fat, low in cholesterol
A pulling force of one hundred and fifteen pounds is required, and Ren Chu also needs to use the strength of his feet to draw the bowstring. Within fifty meters, the crossbow bolt can penetrate a pig.
As Ren Chu's gaze fell upon the half-rabbit hanging from the beam, a familiar interface emerged in his mind. Ren Chu felt a bit dizzy; he shook his head, yet the all-consuming interface in his mind remained steadfast, showing no signs of wavering.
The land near the mountain cabin is barren, with only a few low shrubs in the vicinity. Now, these shrubs have grown at least two to three times taller and have become four to five times thicker, leaving Ren Chu almost unable to believe his eyes
Some individuals struck by the fire meteors fell to the ground convulsing, soon bleeding from all orifices and dying. Others briefly staggered to their feet, feeling an unprecedented sense of well-being.
