182、Dangerous jumping fish
After hearing this, the old village chief breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he really wanted Xiao Chen to stay forever and become the guardian saint of the village, because Xiao Chen's performance was so outstanding. His arrival brought the village a harvest of food, and also helped the villagers tame the Giant Foot, the most powerful assistant, and then assisted Ah Hua to defeat the Orc tribe. This was a god-like figure. Of course, he was reluctant to let Xiao Chen leave here.
The old village chief looked at Xiao Chen, who was singing and dancing with everyone in the middle of the square, sighed slightly and said, "Why don't we have such a person in Ruolan Continent?"
The old witch doctor remained silent.
Why did Xiao Chen come to this world? He didn't know it. In short, the result of divination was to tell him that this world needed an external soul to save it, and Xiao Chen's arrival also fully fulfilled the content in divination. As for the reason, I'm afraid that only the gods in the heaven will know it.
After jumping for a long time, Xiao Chen felt sore all over. He returned to his position, Shi Tou handed him a can of wine, he held it up and drank a few sips. It was sweet and spicy, and the taste was a bit like hawthorn wine. However, this was not hawthorn, but made of a fruit called red sour fruit. This is the favorite alcoholic beverage of local villagers. It is not high in the degree, sour and sweet, and very appetizing.
Because he was too thirsty, Xiao Chen couldn't stop drinking a few more sips. He thought his alcohol capacity could handle this fruit wine, but he didn't expect that the alcohol had great potential. After about an hour, Xiao Chen felt dizzy and seeing things turned into a ghost. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have drunk too much.
Xiao Chen didn't remember what happened after that. It seemed that Shi Tou and Ah Hua sent him back to the house. When he woke up, it was already the next day during the day, after the sun was noon.
Rubbing his eyes, Xiao Chen got up from his bed, feeling sore all over his body and a little dizzy in his head. It was obvious that he had drunk too much yesterday, so this situation occurred.
He put on his clothes and pushed open the wooden door. There were still traces of yesterday's carnival left in the square. Some alcoholics were lying on the ground and fell asleep. Now, except for some soldiers guarding the safety of the village, the rest of the people were still sleeping.
Xiao Chen took out the rusty musket that he had given him before the stone and studied it carefully. He now has the engineering technology to make muskets, and this musket also provides him with a simple method of making muskets. Now he only needs to find enough materials to make a brand new musket. Xiao Chen is eager to try it out.
After washing his face, Xiao Chen went straight to Shitou's house to look for Shitou, but found that in addition to Shitou's house, there was a woman. It turned out that it was his girlfriend Xiaoya. The two of them might have drunk too much yesterday and then slept together. Xiaoya's parents had no objection. They now hope that Shitou would be their son-in-law.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to leave the room, knocked hard on the door, waking up the two people in the room, and then Xiao Chen shouted outside the door: "Shitou, I have something to ask you, come out quickly!"
There was a sound of dressing in the room, and then a stone came out of the room, with a displeasure on her face, and she asked Xiao Chen in a depressed manner, "Xiao Chen, why are you here to find me so early?"
Shi Tou felt very unhappy. He finally slept with his beloved woman, but was disturbed by Xiao Chen, a ignorant guy, and naturally he was unhappy.
However, although Shi Tou is a straightforward person, he does not hold grudges. After chatting with Xiao Chen for a few words, he completely forgot about this matter. After listening to Xiao Chen's materials for making muskets, he asked with surprise, "Are you saying that as long as you find these materials, you can create a musket?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Of course, as long as you help me find these things, I will be able to make a musket. If there are enough materials, I will make one for each of you!"
When Shi Tou heard this, he became excited and said with a smile, "Why didn't you say it earlier? I'll call everyone up now and help you find it together!"
There are many materials for making muskets. Xiao Chen took a closer look and found that there were about 30 materials, ranging from the wood used to make the gun head to the metal ore that refined the barrel, and even some exquisite jewelry and pendants on the gun body were listed.
Xiao Chen felt that it would take a long time to find all these things. After all, he didn't know whether these things were easy to find? Where was it? But just looking at the quantity, he felt that this should be a huge project.
Shi Tou listed the materials Xiao Chen told him one by one, and then went out to find someone like crazy. Many soldiers who had not yet woken up were pulled out of the quilt by him. Then Shi Tou announced good news to them, that is, Xiao Chen was going to make the latest weapon for everyone!
Xiao Chen was very amused and crying. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Shi Tou would take it seriously.
When the soldiers in the village heard that there were new weapons to take, they immediately became energetic and their alcohol was half gone. They were dressed neatly and excitedly surrounded Xiao Chen and asked questions, just like a curious baby.
There was no way. Xiao Chen later described to them how powerful this weapon called musket was. Everyone was stunned and bursts of exclamations came from time to time, as if they were listening to strange talks.
Someone asked, "Xiao Chen, is the weapon of musket you mentioned really that powerful? It shoots farther than a bow and arrow, and is even more powerful than a bow and arrow? Is that even more powerful than a magician's magic attack?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "This depends on the situation. If it is just ordinary fireball techniques or ice cone techniques, I think the power of the musket should be comparable to that, because the musket does not need to chant when firing bullets, just pull the trigger. It takes less time, higher efficiency and high accuracy."
"However, then again, the magician's magic skills seem to have their own tracking effects, so magic attacks also have their own advantages. This depends on the specific situation and analyze it in detail."
Shi Tou said next to him, "We are all rough people and don't know any magic at all. If you can get a weapon like musket, which is comparable to magic, I think we should be content. In the future, if you really encounter an enemy that is difficult to deal with, we have muskets in hand and have a greater chance of winning. We can kill the opponent from a long distance. It is safer for us. Are you right?"
Everyone nodded, thinking that Shi Tou's words made sense.
"Okay, now I'll assign tasks to everyone," said Shi Tou, after that, he took out the list of detailed materials and began to read loudly, "Spark Stone. Forrest Gump, Xiao Sun, you two go find it,"
"The green copper crystal is handed over to Rabbit and Luo Zhan, you two..."
Shi Tou arranged everything, and thirty or forty soldiers took their own tasks. Then they attacked separately and began to collect the materials needed by Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen is very grateful for everyone's help. If he only depends on himself, he doesn't know when he will be able to collect all these materials.
The soldiers in the village went out to find materials, and the momentum was very high. Many people heard about this matter, and then volunteered to join the army looking for materials. Women, girls, elderly people, and anyone who was fine went out to help find things.
Even the old village chief and the old witch doctor heard about this, they expressed their support for Xiao Chen. After all, Xiao Chen's development of new weapons is also a very good thing for the village, so they naturally have to support them with all their strength.
This made Xiao Chen feel a little embarrassed. His simple idea caused the whole village to fight and everyone around him.
Ahua smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, don't think too much. You have developed new weapons. The ones that benefit the most are naturally our village and these villagers, so they are willing to come over to help. You don't need any psychological burden."
Although Ahua said this, Xiao Chen was still a little sad. He felt that he should do some other things for the villagers to thank them for their help.
"So what should I do?" Xiao Chen thought about it and then. He found that the food eaten by the people in the village was very primitive and poor, and basically had no taste. It could only be said that they could not starve to death, let alone nutrition.
"Maybe, I should make a delicious meal for everyone?" Xiao Chen thought for a while and thought this method was very good, but when should he make it for everyone to eat? This is another headache for him.
Xiao Chen doesn't know how to cook. When he was on Earth, he liked to eat the black fish made by his mother the most. After cleaning up the black fish, the stewed fish meat tastes delicious and the fish soup is even more delicious.
When Xiao Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but drool and missed his mother even more, far away from another world.
"By the way, otherwise I'll stew fish for everyone." Xiao Chen clapped his hands and made a decision.
He remembered that there was an unknown small river not far from the village. Although this river was not big, Xiao Chen heard from Ahua to Shitou that this river was very dangerous because there was a ferocious fish called Jumping Fish living inside, which was carnivorous. Just like the piranha in the Amazon forest.
But this kind of fish called Jumping Fish has two thick legs and can jump and run on land, so it is called Jumping Fish.
Jumping fish have sharp teeth and very hard scales. Ordinary weapons cannot harm them, but their teeth can easily tear their prey.
This reminded Xiao Chen of a creature, that is, a fishman. However, the fishman not only has legs, but also has a pair of hands that look like humans, which can hold various weapons, so this kind of jumping fish is not a fishman.
Xiao Chen guessed that the jumping fish should be a creature that is a little lower than the fishman, but they should all belong to fish.
"I wonder how this kind of fish tastes like when stewed?" Xiao Chen pinched his chin and thought. The meat quality of the fish that ate is very delicious. Maybe, the fish called "Tiao Tiao Fish" tastes too bad.
No matter what, I will make a few pieces first, stew them and then taste them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen began to prepare to catch this kind of jumping fish. Of course, fishing rods were required to catch fish. Xiao Chen made a fishing rod with trees near the village, and then he learned another skill in engineering by himself - [Making of simple fishing rods].
Looking at the fishing rod in his hand, Xiao Chen was very satisfied. Although it was just a simple fishing rod with a [Fishing Skill 1] attribute, Xiao Chen was also very satisfied.
Then, he began to prepare the bait and went to the river to catch the jumping fish.
In order to ensure his safety, Xiao Chen naturally could not go alone, but he did not look for Ah Hua and Shi Tou, because they were busy collecting materials for him, so Xiao Chen led the leader of the Giant Foot to the river to fish. If the jumping fish were to attack him, the Giant Foot could help him deal with these jumping fish.
Sitting by the river, Xiao Chen put the fish hook on the bait, then gently swung the fish hook into the river, and then quietly waited for the jumping fish to take the bait.
I don’t know if the bait doesn’t match the appetite of the Tiaojue Fish or the jumping fish is too cautious. Xiao Chen waited for most of the day, but no fish took the bait, which made him a little distressed.
But he also gained something, that is, he kept receiving system prompts.
【Fishing skills plus 1】
【Fishing skills plus 1】
【Fishing skills plus 1】
...
In the morning, Xiao Chen's fishing skills had already reached level 2, which made Xiao Chen very happy. Just when he was happy, the bait suddenly sank down and a fish was hooked!
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned and thought to himself, was it because his fishing skills improved that he was transferred to Jump Fish?
The jumping fish seemed to be very big. It bit the hook and swung up and down frantically, making the river water boil and the water roll!
Xiao Chen was surprised when he saw it. He had never seen a trekking fish before. He had heard from Shi Tou Ahua. Now he saw that the fish seemed to be very big!
This made Xiao Chen feel alert. If the Jumping Fish was a giant monster, he could only give up the fishing rod and hook, jump on the back of the giant feet and run away.
Xiao Chen grabbed the fishing rod and tried his best to compete with the jumping fish in the river. The two sides had a stalemate for about half an hour, and then the river suddenly calmed down, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.
But Xiao Chen did not relax. He felt that now it should be the peace before the storm. The fish might be accumulating strength in the river and ready to attack him.
His guess was very accurate. The next moment, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out of the water. Under the sunlight, its scales emitted a dazzling light. Xiao Chen couldn't open his eyes. Just when he finally saw the thing clearly, the jumping fish was not far from his head!
