Chapter 64: Simple Hunting Trap

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: In my previous life I was a programmer.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Baldness, that kind of thing?

That's a stereotype.

【Wan Yi】: Hard to imagine.

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Wu Ya definitely won't go bald!

Cheng Shuili was still curious, so she directly @-ed Wan Yi to ask how she guessed that.

【Wan Yi】: After interacting, I feel she's a girl.

Cheng Shuili fell silent; she had thought Wan Yi had some good thing that could see information, but it turned out to be just an illusory feeling.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Boss, I got a blueprint from the reward road, I don't have a workbench, I'll give it to you. Boss, just help me make it for free!

"You received a gift from player 【Xin Xue Chuji】: Simple Hunting Trap Blueprint x1."

This blueprint is interesting.

She didn't look at what was said in the group anymore, holding the blueprint she sat in front of the workbench, added this new blueprint, and glanced at the required materials.

In total there are three: iron lumps x5, iron nails x10, rope over 10 meters x1.

The first two are common, but this last one Cheng Shuili actually doesn't have on hand.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Who has extra rope, the kind over ten meters?

"You received a gift from player 【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: 10-meter safety rope x1."

"You received a gift from player 【Xin Xue Chuji】: 13-meter safety rope x1."

"You received a gift from player 【Wan Yi】: 10-meter rope x1."

Cheng Shuili suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed by the favor, seeing this "one call, three responses" feeling, she obviously seemed like a little emperor.

Eh, Wan Yi doesn't have rope, does she?

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: @Wan Yi, do you still have rope to use?

【Wan Yi】: Enough, I just cut off 10 meters.

Just cut now?

Fresh, really fresh!

Cheng Shuili sat back in front of the workbench, took out the materials and began crafting the Simple Hunting Trap.

Just like the Primary Condensed Water Device, it also takes three minutes.

【Simple Hunting Trap】

【Description: A very ordinary snare trap; I'm not really clear why it needs iron lumps and iron nails. Can be placed outside the vehicle, when a small animal with or without eyes passes by it will be snared. Remember to check every morning for any harvest! If it goes too long without a catch, the prey might escape or be snatched by another predator.】

Nice thing.

Cheng Shuili originally thought this thing could defend against monsters, or if set up in advance, when the roads merge she could ambush other players.

Who would have thought it's a tireless all-night hunting device!

Just don't know how high the yield probability is.

At night she can't leave the vehicle's six-meter radius; getting out and placing a trap at the rear is definitely fine.

Cheng Shuili got out of the vehicle holding the freshly made Simple Hunting Trap; fortunately nothing on her came off, the rope was still tied, so she didn't need to re-equip.

Perhaps because she was holding the Simple Hunting Trap, when she got out she saw the green circles behind the vehicle, indicating where it can be placed.

She walked around the vehicle once and only saw two green circles.

That means her vehicle can currently place only two.

Cheng Shuili returned to the shopping cart, made another one, placed both traps, then got on the vehicle.

She had just opened the group chat when she saw Liang Shan Bo's @ message to her.

【Liang Shan Bo Zhu Ying Lai】: Boss, do you still need more? I just realized I still have several!

Just in time!

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Give them to me, I'll make a few Simple Hunting Devices for you.

Several minutes later, Cheng Shuili delivered the items one by one.

Following Cheng Shuili's description, the few people quickly saw the green circles at the rear of the vehicle.

Wan Yi has one, Xinxue has two, and Liang Shan Bo also has two.

After setting them up, the few people chatted in the group again.

【Wan Yi】: Are there really prey at night? Besides those monsters, I've never seen any living things.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: I haven't either; looking at the description, they might also appear randomly. It feels like whether we can catch anything is all down to luck.

【Liang Shan Bo Zhu Ying Lai】: Should be able to catch something.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Is this the confidence of a lucky one?

Cheng Shuili smiled and then got back to the main topic.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: @Xin Xue Chuji, this trap needs just three materials, you should know them. Iron lumps and iron nails are too common, collecting them isn't worth much, so it's just the rope—buy it cheaply and let me know when you have enough. I'll do the processing, you sell the rope.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Okay, Boss! That's exactly what I've been waiting for!

Cheng Shuili closed the group chat and turned her gaze back to the two traps she had just set up.

The night was deep, the world outside the vehicle wrapped in thick darkness, only the shopping cart's faint built-in illumination cast a dim yellow glow around.

"I wonder what we'll catch tomorrow..." she murmured, her fingers unconsciously tapping the workbench.

Time to rest.

Cheng Shuili checked the car door, confirmed it was locked, then untied the rope from her body and took off the day's polar cold-weather gear.

Lying flat on the sofa after a day's fatigue, her body only felt comfortable.

Cheng Shuili closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

On the fourth day of extreme cold, the wind had stopped, leaving only the snow that was still falling.

Cheng Shuili had a complicated, illogical dream last night, and when she opened her eyes she was still a bit dazed.

As usual, she first looked out through the window; the monster outside the protective shield stared at her tiger‑like, seeming a bit frozen‑stupid, and now it could not react to her gaze.

How pitiful.

Cheng Shuili put on her polar cold‑weather gear, thought for a moment, then put on a rope before getting out of the car to check whether the simple hunting trap she had set the night before had caught any prey.

What a pity.

There was not a single sign that it had been triggered.

Cheng Shuili guessed that the probability of catching prey might be affected by the weather; since the snow was falling heavily and it was freezing, the chance of catching prey would certainly drop.

It's still early, and there's no activity in the group chat.

Cheng Shuili scrolled up; yesterday Liang Shanbo and Xinxue had chatted until after 1 a. m.

Do these two never sleep?

She thought for a moment, then sent the first message of the day.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: I checked my trap, nothing. How about you?

Only Wan Yi replied.

【Wan Yi】: I didn't either.

As expected.

Cheng Shuili lifted the golden rice bowl and began eating breakfast.

This morning it was soy milk.

But Wan Yi didn't roll out soybeans, nor did she roll out a soy‑milk maker.

This bowl of soy milk was made from soy‑milk powder.

Cheng Shuili had been marveling at Wan Yi's good luck, but hearing this left her somewhat speechless.

But the taste was still not bad.

An even bigger surprise was still to come.

When she drank the last sip, the golden rice bowl, which had been silent for a long time, brought her another surprise!

【Triggered Daily‑Item Surprise for the Tycoon! The God of Luck will bless everyone who eats well! Stamina +1】

Now Cheng Shuili's stamina is 38.
