145: Chapter 145 Dog Teeth, Dog Teeth, Still Dog Teeth
After some thought, Hu Gualing looked at the Brave's Headband in his hand and nodded slowly, acknowledging Xiao Niao's argument about the reasonable distribution of equipment. Right now, this headband that added HP could only be utilized to its fullest potential if equipped on him.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you all." After coming to this realization, Hu Gualing didn't hesitate at all and put the headband directly onto his head. His original 128 HP instantly became 143, as the 15 HP increase from the Brave's Headband had taken effect.
Looking at the extra 15 HP, Hu Gualing felt an added sense of security in his heart. His already considerable courage grew even larger; if courage could be presented in a data-driven way in the game, then "Courage +1+1" would surely be floating above his head right now.
Xiao Niao: "Gualing, you have to admit, you actually look pretty good after putting on this headband."
Hu Gualing had a robust build. As long as he stood there without speaking or grinning foolishly, he still had a certain rugged, manly handsomeness. Now, paired with a red headband, it made him look even more resolute.
"Hehe, is that so? It's a pity there's no mirror; I can't even admire my own handsomeness." Hu Gualing chuckled twice, his image as a resolute tough guy instantly vanishing, and he rubbed his cheek, saying quite disappointedly.
Xiao Niao: "..."
Tang Yao pulled a pile of verdant euphorbia humifusa from her backpack and placed it on the ground, then pulled out another pile and placed it next to it. Pointing at these two piles of euphorbia humifusa, she said: "You two should each pack a pile into your backpacks. It might come in handy if you get injured."
Looking at the two large piles of euphorbia humifusa that were half a person tall, Hu Gualing and Xiao Niao were both stunned: Wait... just how much stuff did Tang Yao pack in her backpack when she came out adventuring?!
Seeing Hu Gualing and Xiao Niao standing there foolishly without moving, Tang Yao thought they were just being shy, so she used what she had just learned: "Distributing these two piles of pigweed to you can be more useful than me using them to feed the pigs, so feel free to take them. Don't be shy; this is what Xiao Niao called 'reasonable distribution'." When she reached the end, Tang Yao paused specifically, using an emphatic tone to say the last four words to increase persuasiveness.
Hu Gualing and Xiao Niao, of course, weren't being shy; they were just shocked by the things packed in Tang Yao's backpack. There was cooked pig slop, and fresh pigweed, and the amounts were quite astonishing. How much could a little piglet like Sharp Tooth actually eat? Was it really necessary to pack so much?
However, surprised as they were, they didn't delay their actions. The two quickly packed a pile of euphorbia humifusa into their own backpacks. Tang Yao watched this scene and nodded with great satisfaction: So, the pigweed I cut can not only feed pigs, but also feed people.
With this, the three of them established a method for distributing items, and now having things to treat injuries and restore HP, they happily continued on their journey.
In the Main God Space, Chen Mo looked at the green-quality red headband worn on Hu Gualing's head and felt that the roasted chives in his hand had lost their flavor. Chewing them felt just like chewing that dry, tasteless piece of wild ginseng root from earlier in the day.
Xiao Wan, however, sighed from the side: [Master, these three players you found are just too high-quality. They spent so much time pushing a single piece of equipment back and forth before finally distributing it. If the Reincarnators from before saw this, they wouldn't believe it even if they were erased.]
Chen Mo's heart stirred: "What were those previous Reincarnators like?"
Xiao Wan: [Those previous Reincarnators would team up to carry out missions in the Reincarnation worlds. Let alone equipment, they would even fight fiercely over a small monster worth only a few dozen mission points. Often, in order to get more mission points, there were quite a few instances of teammates killing each other within the Reincarnator squads.]
Chen Mo frowned, shaking his head in disapproval of this atmosphere, thinking: It seems this Main God Space really has a rotten foundation. From the Main God Space itself to the previous generations of Main Gods, then to Xiao Wan, this intelligent System born from the Main God Space, all the way down to the Reincarnators at the bottom who were originally victims but turned into perpetrators—the entire hierarchy from top to bottom had this brutal nature. No wonder the powerful and mysterious Main God Space has had 36 successive Main Gods die.
It seems his development path of combining the Main God Space with a game has more promise.
Although the Main God Space's earnings had been negative since the players left the Novice Village, Chen Mo believed in the monster strength planning he had created himself. The monsters ahead, even for freakishly strong players like Hu Gualing and Tang Yao, would likely be very difficult to defeat without wanting to pay points for Resurrection.
Chen Mo turned his attention back to the Fantasy Jianghu game world below, seeing Tang Yao and her group of three continuing to venture deeper into the unknown.
As they went deeper, they saw other creatures in the wasteland, such as hares, vultures, and even a red deer over a meter long and a meter high. Hu Gualing looked on greedily, because he calculated that if it dropped just one thing—antlers, hide, or venison—it could sell for a good amount of money back in the village. Unfortunately, the red deer was exceptionally alert. The moment their team's scout, Xiao Niao, spotted it from afar, the red deer took off running. Its speed was likely even faster than Xiao Niao when he had "fire wheels" under his feet in a crisis; it vanished in a flash.
Among the beasts they encountered, only the Wild Dogs were the most "friendly." Whether they were staggering from hunger or dragging a lame leg from injuries, as soon as they spotted the three of them, they would proactively approach from afar and initiate attacks.
And at these times, Hu Gualing would often charge ahead first. Since he had looted this excellent-quality headband from that [Bloodthirsty Wild Dog], his enthusiasm for fighting monsters had reached an extreme high. Often, before Tang Yao and Xiao Niao even had a chance to attack, he had already rushed up and beaten the monster to death with a flurry of punches.
Unfortunately, after killing many Wild Dogs, let alone green equipment, he hadn't even seen any crude-quality equipment again. All that dropped were teeth and fur—useless things.
Game Prompt: [You killed the Lame Wild Dog, gained Combat Experience +20]
Game Prompt: [You obtained Wild Dog Tooth ×1]
"Dog tooth, dog tooth, still dog tooth! What's up with this drop rate? How come after I looted one green piece of equipment, I've killed over 10 more Wild Dogs, and it hasn't given me a single piece of equipment? Could the dev team have secretly lowered the drop rate for me in the background?" After killing another Wild Dog and looting a dog tooth, Hu Gualing dug out the tooth and put it in his backpack. He incidentally counted the number of dog teeth currently in his backpack, finding that whether broken or unbroken, inferior or superior, the total number of various dog teeth added up to 13, yet there wasn't a single piece of equipment in his bag. He finally couldn't help but complain.
"At least you're gaining combat experience for killing monsters; I'm the one who really has nothing... Shh, don't move." Xiao Niao was about to say something to comfort Hu Gualing, but halfway through, he suddenly lowered his voice, placed a finger to his lips, and made a shushing gesture.
