Chapter 343 - 194: 5 Cards! Pigpen Card! The Rainy Season Fully Arrives

Chapter 343: Chapter 194: 5 Cards! Pigpen Card! The Rainy Season Fully Arrives

Watching group after group of prey emerge from the water, everyone on the bank felt as if they were in a dream. It was surreal.

For a moment, they stopped catching fish and grabbing crabs. Even those who accidentally stubbed their feet on rocks forgot the pain, utterly shocked by Chen Chong’s haul.

They knew Chen Chong would catch a lot of prey on this trip, but they never, ever expected... this much!?

"Two, four, six, seven, eight... There must be forty or fifty of them, right? Did he raid the entire wild goat den?"

"Holy shit, did he... did he go hunting or go stocking up in the Primitive Jungle?"

"Damn, I was spaced out for a second. I thought I was back in my village and ran into a shepherd..."

"Is this what a Transcendent is like? Even catching prey is as easy as bending over to pick up money. The gap between people is just too big."

"I thought it was ridiculous enough when they caught about twenty last time. Today, it’s over fifty. Did they catch all the wild goats and deer from the other side of the river?"

"And two leopards! Are those things on their menu now? Transcendents are just incredible. I wish I could become a Transcendent too..."

"Brother Chong is awesome! Brother Chong is mighty..."

Among the crowd of students, some cheered, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were eager to try exploring the other side themselves.

But Chen Chong completely ignored their gazes, taking his haul and heading straight for the school...

"Brother Chong, I don’t think we can fit all these wild goats and deer we caught today in our home, can we?"

Chen Chong glanced at Xu Jun. "I never said we were taking them home."

"Then where are we putting them?"

Chen Chong looked toward Jia Wen. "How are the fences I had the team build coming along?"

Jia Wen immediately replied, "Sir, ever since you gave the order two days ago, I immediately had the members of the logistics team in charge of civil engineering get to work. Over the past two days, they should have built at least ten pens, each over 20 square meters in area."

"I’ve personally inspected them. The quality is acceptable; holding these animals shouldn’t be a problem."

Chen Chong nodded slightly. "Ten 20-square-meter pens will be enough to raise these wild goats and deer for now."

Keeping the livestock in the gymnasium had very obvious disadvantages.

The quality of the man-made pens wasn’t very good, they didn’t have the accelerated effect of Card buildings, and they couldn’t be fed with the grass growing in the pasture at home.

To feed them, someone would have to specifically cut several large buckets of grass from home, then walk for more than ten minutes back and forth to feed them. It was far too troublesome and tedious.

Although Chen Chong would have preferred to bring these wild goats and deer home to raise, there was no other choice.

After all, the space at home was limited. The bathroom was already crowded to the point where not a single other animal could fit.

They could only be kept temporarily in the gymnasium. He would bring them back to raise once he had more buildings...

...

Time passed quickly. Not long after Chen Chong and the others had settled the wild goats and deer in the gymnasium, the sky gradually darkened, and the sound of rain outside grew louder.

Even as Transcendents, after a long and grueling day, the group was exhausted.

They didn’t even have the energy to process the leopards. They just threw them into the icehouse, ate a quick bite, washed up, and then returned to their respective rooms to rest...

「In the blink of an eye, it was midnight.」

[The daily settlement is beginning. Based on your gains and performance over the past day, a score and Rating will be generated, and corresponding Card rewards will be automatically redeemed.]

[Over the past day, you captured a large number of live wild goats and wild deer, and successfully hunted two leopards. Furthermore, the crops and various livestock at your home are continually growing, and the members under your command have acquired a large amount of resources from the Primitive Jungle...]

[Score: 147 points]

[Rating: A-]

[Rewards: Building Card · Vacant Land Card, Building Card · Pigsty Card, Recruitment Card · Falcon, Building Card · Vacant Land Card, Resource Card · Large Animal Trap Net]

[Note: The overflow portion of your score has been automatically redeemed for lower-class Cards.]

Chen Chong, who hadn’t fallen asleep yet, had been specifically waiting for the daily settlement to appear.

’147 points?’

’It seems the haul of over fifty medium-sized prey isn’t as good as taming the Fierce Poisonous Bees yesterday.’

’That makes sense. Although the Fierce Poisonous Bees are just ordinary creatures, their queen is a Pseudo-Extraordinary Creature. It’s normal for the score to be higher than today’s. An A- Level Rating is still acceptable...’

What truly surprised Chen Chong was that five Cards had appeared at once this time, including two Vacant Land Cards.

’Two blue and three green?’ Chen Chong frowned slightly. ’No A-Class Card?’

This was the first time Chen Chong had encountered such a situation.

In the past, every settlement’s score would yield at least one Card of the corresponding level.

But this time, although the Rating was only A-, he hadn’t expected there to be no A-Class Card. Instead, there were two B-Level Cards and three C-Class Cards.

’Could it be that the automatic Card redemption arranged a more practical set of Cards for me?’

’It seems that even if your score reaches a certain level, there’s still a small chance you won’t receive a Card of the corresponding level.’

’But you get more Cards to make up for it.’

Compared to getting an A- Level Card, Chen Chong was quite satisfied with receiving five Cards at once. After all, even if he did get an A- Level Card, its effect probably wouldn’t be particularly mind-blowing.

’All things considered, I’d rather get more Cards to manage and arrange...’

Picking up the five Cards, the first thing Chen Chong noticed were the two Vacant Land Cards.

To be honest, Vacant Land Cards were desperately needed right now.

For one, the animals being raised in the bathroom were too crowded. It wasn’t just that buildings like pens were in short supply; the area itself urgently needed to be expanded.
