Chapter 145:142 King Fish’s Stomach


    “Fuck, that was fast?”


    Suddenly facing an upgrade, Bi Fang was still trying to figure out how it was different from before when, the next second, it was alreadyplete?


    The first time it loaded, it took a whole week…


    [Full ess to system permissions granted… settlement methods changed… mission system changed…]


    [Ding! Integrationplete, would you like to check?]


    “Check!”


    As soon as the thought arose, a blue screen shed in front of Bi Fang, and a flood of information poured in.


    Three minutester, Bi Fang was somewhat shocked.


    “Such a big change…”


    This sudden system upgrade gave him a surprise that was nothing short of huge.


    First of all, there was aplete overhaul of the mission mode and reward mode. The system would still issue missions, but the requirements had changedpletely.


    Bi Fang could refuse them, or even edit the content himself!


    He could choose the location and mode of his live streams ording to his own ideas, whether for survival, for subsistence, or other various modes.


    To do all this, there was only one criterion – Wilderness Points.


    As long as the Wilderness Points Bi Fang earned each year met the system’s specified requirements, then within that threshold, no matter how many missions the system issued, he could simply ignore them.


    The acquisition of Wilderness Points was not solely throughpleting missions anymore, but could be achieved through a series of impacts, reputation, and the attention of his online friends and audience, even including money he earned on his own using the wilderness theme.


    Ten thousand for one point.


    For instance, if Bi Fang earned close to three million from this live stream, that would be more than three hundred Wilderness Points. If he were to endorse products in the future, that would be counted as well.


    This upgrade greatly enhanced Bi Fang’s ess to the system’s permissions and his freedom saw a massive leap forward.


    Moreover, the store had also been fully upgraded, with more advanced skills upgrade coupons and Skill Cans on offer, as well as some bizarre usage coupons.


    “Good things keeping!”


    Bi Fang was excited. He nced around the room and saw that everyone had passed out drunk, so he began to check out the rewards for this mission in peace.


    [Detected a non-reward promotion, your final rewards are: 1 Intermediate Skill Upgrade Coupon, 4 Enhancement Points, 1400 Wilderness Points, 1 Skill Formation Coupon, 1 Language Proficiency Coupon]


    A Skill Formation Coupon?


    Bi Fang was a bit puzzled, but after he read the instructions, he immediately understood.


    It was a treasure that could turn a white skill of level 4 or above into a Green Skill, making it a branch on the skill tree.


    From then on, that skill could be upgraded directly using the system-issued skill coupons!


    Yes, white skills.


    Skills of a lower level than Green Skills.


    When Bi Fang first came to this world, he only had a few innate skills, but that didn’t mean those were the only things he could do.


    Cooking, doingundry, singing – couldn’t these be skills too?


    Of course not. If calcted that way, such skills were far too numerous, so these skills were all white and invisible, not part of the system’s upgrade structure.


    But turning them into Green Skills through learning and training would require at least a year’s worth of effort.


    Bi Fang couldn’t wait to open up his white skill panel. Instantly, a long list of skill bars appeared. He scrolled down one by one, looking for any existing level 4 or above skills that were worth upgrading, growing more and more excited as he did so.


    “Turns out I know so much!”


    But before he could finish choosing, the electronic tone sounded again.


    [Ding! Detected that you have hunted Tiktaalik. Would you like to generate loot?]


    There’s more?


    Bi Fang’s eyes shone with excitement. Hisst reward, the Wolves King’s Sense of Smell, couldn’t be too useful!


    What would he be rewarded with this time?


    ncing at the viger who had passed out on the table, Bi Fang entered a small room prepared for him by Tashi Dorje, who wanted him to rest for the night before leaving.


    “Generate!”


    The sensation of enhanced strength once again arose; Bi Fang felt this surely wasn’t an illusion. The generation of loot indeed had improved his physical condition, albeit by a very small margin, which made him think it was just his imagination.


    A cold, foreign feeling emerged, and Bi Fang took out the knotted ne from around his neck, revealing a tooth that was thicker than Wolf Fang’s but shorter, lying alongside it.


    It was as clear as jade.


    [Ding! You have triggered the loot reward enhancement: King Fish’s Stomach!]


    [King Fish’s Stomach]


    Ability Description: Your digestive system’s digestion and absorption capabilities will far exceed those of an average person.


    “The description is still as straightforward as ever.”


    Bi Fang scratched his eyebrow, knowing he would have to figure out the extent of his abilities through trial and error.


    However, the ability looked very appealing and highly practical.


    Although a faster digestion rate meant getting hungry more easily, his absorption capabilities had also increased.


    From the perspective of the conservation of energy, this was a gain.


    As for concerns like having too much stomach acid causing gastritis, Bi Fang wasn’t worried. The System’s enhancements weren’t that low-end; this was an enhancement, not an upgrade with a side order of stomach ailments.


    Most importantly, having a strong digestive capacity was actually linked to a certain extent with infection resistance.


    Under strong stomach acid, few parasites and pathogenic bacteria could survive.


    Vultures, for instance, which frequently consume carrion yet remain lively, have stomach acidity ten times higher than humans, capable ofrgely killing off the pathogenic bacteria ingested.


    This enhancement didn’t give Bi Fang the intense sensations of thest one, but as time passed, he gradually felt a warm glow throughout his body, and the exhaustion from survival began to fade significantly.


    Bi Fangy in bed and continued browsing the previous selection; he looked through them one by one and finally picked a level 4 skill, which was a hobby from his past life. He had reached level 4 already, and it was perfect for upgrading to a Green Skill.


    Archery!


    His skills were already quiteprehensive, but often, hecked offensive options. If he could craft a bow and arrows in the wilderness,bined with powerful archery, it would be like a fish in water.


    Of all animals, only humans can urately throw objects over long distances using their limbs for ranged attacks.


    Humans have more flexible waists to increase torque, lower humeruses to expand the range of motion, and tter shoulder joints, which help align the force of the pectoralis major with the rotation direction of the throw.


    Archery, in particr, is a standout in rangedbat. In thousands of years of development, it hasrgely reced spear throwing because it is more precise, swifter, and faster!


    It mightck the destructive power of spear throws, but the reloading speed of a bow and arrow far exceeds that of throwing spears.


    In the wilderness, this is invincible.


    Bi Fang intended to maximize this advantage.


    Upgrade!


    With a buzzing sound, Bi Fang felt as if someone had struck the back of his head.


    From the simplest longbow to the recurve bow, and finally the modernpound bow, countless notching and shooting experiences brought with them a variety of techniques, experiences, and insights.


    Bi Fang looked down at his hands as if he had truly released countless arrows, and he could hardly suppress the urge to test his real level of skill.


    But the environment wasn’t conducive, so he abandoned the thought.


    There were still many coupons left, and Bi Fang hadn’t decided how to use them; he nned to wait until he got back since he was already very tired.


    The next day, Uncle Tashi was reluctant to let him leave.


    “Are you leaving so soon? Won’t you stay for a couple more days? Please don’t feel obligated to go; we sincerely wee you here.”


    “It’s not that I feel obligated, Uncle Tashi, I still need to have my wounds checked at the hospital.”


    Bi Fang showed the bandage on his hand; Tashi gave in and waved goodbye, wishing Bi Fang a smooth journey.


    Upon reaching the county town, Bi Fang encountered someone he didn’t expect.


    The owner of the camel.
