Chapter 79: Being A Bit Famous
Translator: WQL Editor: Geoffrey
The first rain of June abruptly came. The sky was still clear two days ago, but on the evening of
the same day, the sky became covered with dense clouds as heavy rain fell. It continued to rain
until last night.
Since it rained most of yesterday, most students chose to stay in their bases, and so did the
members of Hit-Plane Brotherhood. Barley fetched a set of cards, and those guys spent the
entire day playing cards in the tree hollow. That was a marvelous feeling. While it was heavily
raining outside the base, they really enjoyed themselves in the tree hollows. Besides the sound
that came from the raindrops falling onto tree leaves, no other sounds could be heard, as the
insects and the birds had already hidden themselves. They could no longer hear the chirping of
cicadas and birds. As the animals had already hidden themselves in such weather, naturally, it
was not that easy to hunt them.
On the eighth day since the start of the survival training, god then allowed them one day of
break...
In the past eight days, the tree base had been further renovated. When they had free time or had
no firewood to burn, they further expanded the previous three levels of space, resulting in each
of them having more space to sleep. They also hung a bamboo curtain, which they obtained by
exchanging it for food with the girls, outside each of the tree holes. In addition, they also
gathered several old vines, and in one night, wove them into a simple vine ladder for them to
climb up and down. On the third floor, they expanded several pits and moved in some soil,
wildflowers, and green plants from the valley to make the tree base more pleasant.
In the area under the tree, they dug a pond that was about 2 m2 and filled the bottom of the
pond with pebbles and broken stones. They then dug a small ditch that was longer than 30m
and cut several pieces of bamboo. Using the bamboo, they split the ditch from the middle and
placed the pieces of bamboo inside, effectively creating a miniature water diversion system,
which they used to start cultivating fish in the pond.
Although the water in the pond could easily seep into the ground, with the fresh water
constantly flowing in, the depth of the water in the pond remained above 50 cm at all times,
which was sufficient for the shoal of fish to survive.
After such renovation, the tree base had become completely different than before. A couple of
days ago, they successfully invited a group of female students to visit their tree base and ate
roasted fish together. As expected, with such an appealing tree base, those girls were greatly
amazed, so much that they even entered the tree base to have a look. After those girls returned
to Wild Wolf Castle, they began to tell the other girls at Wild Wolf Castle, thus causing their tree
base to be well known among girls. Many girls started to learn of the male students who lived
in a huge tree base and farmed fish inside a pond under the tree, and they knew if they were to
visit, they would be able to drink delicious fish soup and eat roasted fish. Besides, it seemed that
those male students worked hard and were able to hunt other beasts. Generally speaking, those
boys were always able to obtain a sufficient amount of food. Once they set out to hunt, they
would always return with something...
In order to allow the brothers of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood to not leave empty handed, Zhang
Tie taught them how to dig those traps. In the recent days, under the collective hard work of the
members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood, Barley and the rest had dug two traps that were deeper
than 6m at a location about 5 km away from the tree base. These two traps, in addition to the
fish trap that Zhang Tie made and the other traps made from twigs and stones to create small
preys, greatly improved the living standard of the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood. On
the sixth day since the start of the survival training, they had successfully captured a wolf by
placing the fish innards that oozed a fishy and terrible odor in the first pit. It was finally
miserably shot to death by “Iron Gate T21”. On the same day, the members of Hit-Plane
Brotherhood also enjoyed roasted wolf meat for the first time and acquired their first wolf hide
in this survival training. After experiencing the success of the traps, every one of them
thoroughly enjoyed setting traps. If it were not for the rain, they would have already made a
third deep pit.
After they succeeded with their first trap, their tree base gradually became more and more
famous. After feeling satisfied physically, the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood started to
dream about women. In the past couple of days, they had often frequented Wild Wolf Castle to
pick up girls. Some of them had even successfully convinced some girls to work together to get
through the survival training. For the girls, aside from having to return to Wild Wolf Castle each
evening, they were free to do whatever they wanted. Realizing this, those male students worked
killed four Huge Wolves. That was the first time for students to have hunted four Level 1
magical beasts at once. Burwick greatly shocked Wild Wolf Castle this time. A large number of
female communities and teams requested to cooperate with Burwick. Compared to Glaze, who
was hapless these days, Burwick really obtained a good reputation this time.
One week after the survival training started, the excellent figures from the different schools
also gradually stood out.
When Burwick’s group gained the four Huge Wolves, a male student from the another school
who excelled in archery, the one Barley had mentioned to Zhang Tie, became well known as
“Bowman Blues”. In contrast to the achievements acquired by Burwick, which was obtained
through a group effort, “Bowman Blues” from Second National Male Middle School” climbed
atop a tree alone and shot two Huge Wolves to death. Compared to Burwick, Blues was an
individual with more heroism and easily aroused the adoration from the girls. As a result,
“Bowman Blues” also became Mr. Perfect for every girl.
Of course, there were more excellent figures among the four schools...
The blacksmith workshop in Wild Wolf Castle gave off black smoke around the clock. The
cutleries and the swords as well as some of the productive tools made in the workshop had
already been placed on the square for sale. In the same workshop, it was said that someone had
already started to build the model of the first steam machine.
There were also two female students who were excellent characters. It was rumored that there
was a girl who showed her superb skills of identifying and finding plants, as she had already
easily found a 100 kg root of a kudzu vine buried in the soil. Another girl displayed her amazing
ability of implementing administrative management, as she well organized all the items in the
inner castle of Wild Wolf Castle. There was even one girl who was a LV 1 fighter, was even
braver than most boys, and had already gone hunting with several friends, causing the other
male students to be embarrassed.
Those elites gradually showed off their talents, leading to this survival training becoming more
and more boisterous.
Compared to those glamorous figures, Zhang Tie’s miserable life as a miner had seemingly just
started. Two days ago, he went to dig traps with the other members of Hit-Plane Brotherhood.
Yesterday, he took a break due to the rain. According to the regulations, if Zhang Tie wasn’t able
to submit more than 300 kg of iron ore today, then he would not be permitted to be a miner
anymore.
Therefore, the morning after the rain stopped, under the blessings and condolences of his
brothers, Zhang Tie, once again, looked like a miner that was destined for the job. After
checking his equipment, he silently carried that ugly mining basket and set off on his trip
alone.
“That is too miserable!” The other members of Brotherhood sighed at the sight of Zhang Tie’s
back...
