Chapter 4

Wan Ping'an was in a hurry all the way, wanting to return to the dormitory courtyard as soon as possible; his stomach had long been empty, and he wanted to cook the meat he bought and eat it as soon as possible.

"Eh?"

"Are there wild ducks?"

He "saw" a wild duck, and every feather could be "seen" clearly.

No!

It wasn't seen; it was a peculiar induction.

More real than seeing.

"I understand, this is farming perception."

"The Farming System can plant and raise; wild ducks can be raised, so they are farming items recognized by the system."

Wan Ping'an figured it out.

Farming perception was his unique, magical special sensing ability, capable of sensing farming items when his eyes couldn't see them.

Now he sensed a duck.

"Wild duck is also meat; go over and take a look."

Ping'an was no longer in a hurry to return to the Sihe Academy.

If he could catch a wild duck, it would count as game.

He followed the direction of farming perception to find the wild duck; after walking for more than ten minutes, he still didn't see the wild duck, but he could clearly sense it.

He came to a wild river, where there were dense water weeds by the river.

There were also some people fishing by the river; seeing that Wan Ping'an didn't bring a fishing rod, they were a bit puzzled: was he planning to catch fish with his bare hands?

Quack, quack, quack!

Finally.

He heard the call of the wild duck.

Water weeds could block the line of sight, but they couldn't block farming perception.

"Sigh, these damn wild ducks, calling every day, tempting us every day."

"Stop complaining, wild ducks are too cunning; even if we hear the call, we can't find the wild duck's nest, so let's just fish honestly!"

"It's all because the grass is too big and the grass is too high, otherwise we would definitely be able to find it."

Wan Ping'an heard a few complaints.

In the early fifties, there were large tracts of wasteland outside the Nine Cities, and the water weeds by the river were lush, providing a good hiding environment for wild ducks.

Large tracts of grassland made it difficult to find the wild ducks hidden in them.

If not careful, one might even fall into the water.

"Fortunately, I have farming perception."

"Even if there are water weeds blocking, and my eyes can't see the wild duck, I can sense the exact position of the wild duck."

"Everyone, I'm sorry."

"You can only listen to the wild ducks calling, but I am going to catch the wild ducks."

"This season is exactly when wild ducks lay eggs; maybe I can even harvest a nest of wild duck eggs along the way."

Wan Ping'an glanced at the people complaining and turned to walk toward the large grass by the river.

The water weeds were lush.

Some water weeds were as high as his waist.

Let alone wild ducks, even if a child ran in, they could be submerged in the grass.

Walking and walking.

A wild duck in front was startled and flew away.

"The monk can run, but the temple can't."

"The wild duck flew away, but its nest can't run."

Wan Ping'an rushed over and, according to the positioning of farming perception, soon found the wild duck's nest, with six wild duck eggs still carrying residual warmth.

"Great."

"Finally have eggs to eat."

"No chicken eggs, duck eggs are fine too."

Wan Ping'an picked out the wild duck eggs, put them all in his pocket, and continued to look for the wild duck.

"Look, everyone, did that young man find something?"

"It's too far away, can't see clearly; it seems to be a few wild duck eggs, but the wild duck was scared away and will never come back."

"Too bad, if only we could catch the wild duck."

"Finding a nest of wild duck eggs is just dumb luck; you still hope to catch a wild duck?"

None of the people fishing by the river were optimistic about Wan Ping'an.

Wild duck eggs are in the nest and won't run, but wild ducks are different; they are very vigilant and will fly far away at the slightest disturbance.

Wan Ping'an didn't hear their discussion; he continued to look for the wild duck.

Soon.

His farming perception locked onto another wild duck.

It was in the water weeds in front.

"Can't go over directly, otherwise, the wild duck will be scared away again."

"No gun, no bow and arrow, no slingshot, and can't get close, what to do?"

"Got it, I can use hidden weapon techniques to throw stones!"

Wan Ping'an remembered.

The Baji Fist he mastered was Master-level, and he had used the gene potion; his strength and body control far exceeded ordinary people.

The stones he threw with his bare hands, within twenty or thirty meters, had power and accuracy not inferior to a slingshot at all.

He found a few small stones.

Aimed at the wild duck in farming perception.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Two stones were thrown one after another.

The first stone startled the wild duck, and it flew onto the grass.

The second stone accurately hit the wild duck's head, and the wild duck fell headfirst.

Wan Ping'an was excited and quickly found the wild duck he had hit.

The wild duck was just stunned, not killed.

If it were killed, the blood wouldn't drain, which would affect the taste; taking it back alive, he could kill it whenever he wanted to eat it.

Harvested five more wild duck eggs and one live wild duck.

"Holy crap, look, everyone, did that young man catch a duck?"

"He really caught it; how did he catch it?"

"I saw it; he was holding a stone in his hand, and from more than twenty meters away, he smashed the wild duck to death."

"You must have seen it wrong; twenty meters, such a long distance, he threw a stone, it's not like firing a gun, how could he hit the wild duck?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

The people by the river argued.

None of them believed that Wan Ping'an could hit a wild duck with a stone.

They didn't fish anymore, staring at Wan Ping'an to see how he handled the wild duck.

Not five minutes later.

Wan Ping'an repeated his old trick: two stones, one to startle the wild duck and the other to stun it.

Caught three wild ducks.

Wan Ping'an didn't catch any more; it was enough for him to eat for a few days, and the remaining wild ducks would be kept by the river; if he wanted to eat, he would come back to catch them.

"Young man, are you selling the wild ducks you caught?"

Just as Wan Ping'an was about to go home, two people came over, looking at the wild ducks in his hands.

They couldn't catch wild ducks, so they could only buy them from Wan Ping'an.

"Sorry, I'm taking them back for my family to eat."

Wan Ping'an told a lie.

He didn't know the price of wild ducks; what if he got cheated?

The ones caught this time, take them back to eat first.

Wait until he finds out the price, then decide whether to sell or not.

Anyway, the wild ducks are by the river; as long as he wants to catch them, he can catch them at any time, no need to rush.

"How did you catch the wild ducks?"

Another person asked curiously.

"Secret!"

Wan Ping'an smiled.

Farming perception was unique to him alone.

Even if he said it, no one would believe it.

There was also the risk of exposing the system.

The Farming System must never be exposed, otherwise it would bring him danger; even the closest people couldn't be told, and the secret must be taken to the grave.

Soon.

Wan Ping'an returned to the Sihe Academy.

"If the beasts see my meat and wild ducks, I wonder if they will be jealous?"

When he reached the gate.

Wan Ping'an remembered that the group of beasts in the courtyard would definitely not be willing to watch him eat meat!
