Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 215 A smooth stick.

The quiet night passed quickly.

Amidst the silhouettes of dark trees, the first rays of sunlight sliced ​​through the night like a thin blade.

The thick darkness gradually thinned into a grayish-blue, and the sleeping outline slowly awoke in the morning mist.

As the sunlight gradually appeared in the distance.

The photographer, who was on the last shift of the night, stretched and stood up.

He didn't rush to wake up his teammates and guests.

Instead, he first added some firewood to the smoldering campfire, causing it to crackle and emit wisps of smoke.

He then placed a kettle full of water on it to heat it, and took out some special vacuum-sealed bags from his bag, opened them, and put them into the water to boil together.

This is breakfast being prepared for the camp's security team.

As the safety backup team, they definitely need to ensure they get enough energy, so breakfast is essential.

Although the photographer felt that their safety team could be retired completely and was no longer of any use.

But the things that need to be done still need to be done.

After doing all that, he went to check the equipment near the camera directly in front of the camp.

After inspection, it can be basically confirmed that the camera carried out the shooting plan intact, shooting a total of about 4 hours of nighttime content, and was almost shut down when the experts took over the night shift in the early morning.

This was part of the plan.

Due to storage capacity and power limitations, I never planned to film all night.

Power limitations were manageable, as they brought several batteries and solar charging equipment.

However, storage capacity is indeed not that plentiful now. Even with many high-capacity cards, it's still impossible to take too many meaningless photos.

Therefore, the plan was to only shoot for about 2 to 4 hours. If any unexpected situations occurred during the night shift that needed to be recorded, the small cameras brought by the professionals and guests would naturally come in handy.

In short.

After checking and confirming that there were no problems.

The photographer immediately replaced the camera's battery and external card, and after completing all the pre-shoot preparations, pointed the lens at the entrance of the villa-like shelter built by the guest.

Next.

The first thing the guests would do after waking up from a nap in the wild is definitely to film.

However, he didn't rush to wake the guests.

Unless there is a protected animal that cannot be handled, or a very dangerous situation arises that requires the guest to follow instructions.

Otherwise, the guests' choices and plans for survival in the wild would not require their interference or reminders.

After pointing his camera at the shelter entrance, the photographer went to the campfire the security team had lit to continue preparing breakfast.

After watching the porridge in the pot gradually boil, he added some special powder and stirred it a few times. Once it was thoroughly mixed, he took it away from the campfire.

I'm just about to repackage it.

Then I heard footsteps behind me.

In that instant, the hairs on his entire body stood on end.

Is it a bear?

No, the most ferocious animals in these mountains are only some pandas. Although pandas are bears, theoretically there shouldn't be any fear of them eating people.

Even so, he did not let his guard down.

If you suddenly hear unknown footsteps in the middle of nowhere, you'd better be extremely careful if you don't want to die.

And so, in the blink of an eye...

Without hesitation, he took a step forward to create distance, then drew his tactical dagger from his waist and turned to look in the direction from which the footsteps were coming.

then.

He then saw Chen Baiyu carrying a smooth, large black stick, and a long string of small fish and shrimp hanging from the end of the stick with a thread woven from plant fibers.

"Oh, are you getting ready to practice?"

Chen Baiyu raised an eyebrow and looked at the photographer with considerable anticipation.

Although the opponent was simply a weaker party to him.

But the brave are always willing to draw their swords against the stronger.

He would appreciate that kind of courage.

When the photographer saw it was him, he was first stunned for a moment, then asked with a look of confusion and doubt, "Why did you come back from outside?"

Confused and bewildered.

The photographer didn't even notice the abundant harvest that Chen Baiyu was carrying behind her at first.

He was in charge of the last night shift.

How come he didn't notice that Chen Baiyu went out?

It couldn't have been during the first two night shifts that he ran away, could it?

impossible.

Chen Baiyu didn't need to go out so early, nor would she look so energetic after not sleeping all night.

Moreover, the people on the previous two night shifts were more professional than him, and they probably wouldn't let someone leave right under their noses.

so.

Did the person leave right under his own nose?

Could it be that at some point before, while he was dozing off?

The photographer felt a jolt of fear at this thought.

Thankfully, nothing serious happened.

But then I thought about it.

He then felt that he didn't need to worry so much.

In this camp.

Once someone truly gets lost, it seems the only one who needs to care is himself.

The guards have extensive combat experience, and the experts have rich experience in wildlife zoology and botany; if they get lost, they are unlikely to be in any serious trouble.

The guest, Chen Baiyu, seems to have an extreme value. After he got lost, the concern shouldn't be about him, but rather about the plants and animals in the Black Bamboo Valley primeval forest.

Think of this.

The photographer subconsciously glanced at the stick Chen Baiyu was carrying on her shoulder.

It was just a grayish-black stick that looked like it was made of rock.

Although it is very smooth and straight, it has no extra branches.

It looks like it suits any guy's taste, and any guy who passes by it can't help but pick it up and take it with him.

After all, no boy can resist a smooth, straight, and handy stick.

But the photographer's focus wasn't on that; he was more interested in the fish and shrimp hanging from the end of the stick.

The smooth, grayish-black stone stick was firmly tied to the end with a rope made of several strands of tough vine fibers, and a long, heavy bunch of harvest hung from the bottom of the rope.

There were a dozen or so palm-sized, silvery-gray and bluish-black guppies, their gills still damp with red.

Mixed among them were dozens of nearly transparent mountain stream shrimp with pale blue or light brown sheen on their shells, their slender whiskers intertwined.

The moist shrimp bodies clung together, trembling slightly under the influence of gravity.

Glistening water droplets are constantly seeping and dripping from the gaps between the piles of fish and shrimp.

The number of fish and shrimp looked unusually large, leading the photographer to seriously suspect that Chen Baiyu was electrofishing.

After all, if you don't bring professional equipment to electrofish, it feels like even with a fishing net you can't catch this many fish in the stream.

Their security team went to the nearby creek yesterday to collect water and saw the tributaries, the main stream, and the specific width and depth of the creek.

It's hard to imagine that Chen Baiyu could bring back so many fish in just one morning.

Between his thoughts and his dazed state.

As Chen Baiyu walked past him toward the campfire, he answered his question: "I saw you dozing off this morning, so I didn't wake you. I was thinking of going to the stream to get some fresh ingredients to try."

“After all, we can’t eat pork all the time, right?” Chen Baiyu smiled at the photographer.

The quality of life for superhumans certainly cannot be continuously downgraded just because they have left modern society.

That means you definitely need to get some other things within the legal scope to treat yourself.

The photographer was still in a daze.

Chen Baiyu didn't say much, but instead bent down to further process the fish and shrimp that had already been mostly prepared by the river.

Aside from needing to leave a few fish and shrimp for today's meal.

Most of the remaining fish and shrimp need to be smoked or treated to prevent them from spoiling over time.

After all, it's already past August.

It was a day when the sun was blazing hot.

In these mountains.

Except for the early morning, midnight, and late at night when it might be a bit chilly, it's usually unbearably hot.

Fish and shrimp can't be kept for more than a day or two before they spoil.

Meanwhile, they were processing the work.

Chen Baiyu was also looking at his personal data panel.

Name: Chen Baiyu

[Race: Human]

【称号：味觉殉道者lv4（毒抗+40%，微弱腐朽抗性）、财富侍者（交易状态中信任度+10%，更容易发现商业与合同陷阱）、法外狂徒（因果层面规避法律风险）、学者（经验加成10-50%）】

【Level: 11】

[Class: All-Encompassing Returnee (Current upgrade bonus to Freedom Attribute: 1.5)]

[Skills: Senluo Visualization Technique, All Things Return to Flow (Passive), Dragonborn II (Active), Divine Sense (Active), Intuition Lv3 (Passive), Forbidden Enchantment Technique: Embrace Heaven, Banishment]

[Physical Fitness: 16.5] (1 point is determined after system testing, representing the average level that ordinary human beings can reach through training)

[Spirit: 16.5] (1 point is determined by the system detection and represents the average level that the human race can reach through training.)

[Magic power: 699/700]

[Experience value: 424/1200]

That's right, he's already level 11.

This morning, after examining most of the surface basalt in Black Bamboo Gully, he completed most of the progress for the "Collecting Earth Vein Essence" quest.

Just one last thing.

They also excavated a sufficient quantity by using brute force and fireballs to blast open some places deep in the Black Bamboo Gully.

After completing the task.

First, the quest reward of 800 experience points and the extra experience from the scholar title boosted him from level 10 to level 11 in one go.

The upgrade experience remains the same as always, no further explanation needed.

It simply means that everything feels stronger and better.

While physical fitness at 16.5 times the human limit is still a linear increase, considering the comprehensive improvement in all aspects of attributes, the overall combined benefit far exceeds the multiplier effect brought by a coefficient of 1.5.

To put it simply, it's very powerful and exhilarating.

Besides.

The quest "Essence of the Sleeping Earth" also brings another reward upon completion.

That is what is known as "Earth Vein Essence Forging Iron".

It was a gray-black stick over a meter long, the same stick Chen Baiyu used to carry the fish.

It looks fairly smooth and flat.

However, apart from looking smooth, it seems quite ordinary.

Its entire body has a dull, grayish hue, much like ordinary basalt that has been washed by water for thousands of years by a stream.

The surface has a matte texture that is unique to rocks and does not reflect light.

The stick is straight and about 1.2 to 1.3 meters long.

It is about the thickness of two adult men's fingers, with only slightly rounded ends, and no additional carvings, patterns, or symbolic symbols.

It looks like a naturally formed, stubborn rock that just happened to grow into the shape of a stick.

It had neither the cold gleam of metal, nor the warmth of jade, nor the grain of wood; it was just a gray-black, heavy, lifeless stone rod.

Actually, if it weren't for the system notification...

At first glance, Chen Baiyu would only regard it as an ordinary piece of rotten wood that had been washed ashore by the flood and dried in the sun, or a piece of discarded stone with a slightly regular shape.

I'll only play with it a couple of times at most.

However, after he learned that it was actually a system reward called "Earth Vein Essence Forged Iron," he studied it more seriously.

Then he noticed something different.

The hardness of this thing is somewhat unexpected.

Or rather, it shouldn't be called hardness, but rather a property that can be called hardness, which includes many attributes such as toughness and ductility.

With Chen Baiyu's strength, most metal or stone objects of this size and thickness would break if he hit them hard twice.

Even if the material is of exceptionally high quality.

There will definitely be some degree of deformation.

Even if it doesn't deform immediately, repeated attempts will eventually lead to some metal fatigue and result in minute deformation.

After all, even rebar can't withstand the wear and tear of ordinary people day after day.

Even an ordinary person can grind an iron rod into a needle.

But this stick is different.

Chen Baiyu not only didn't react when hit, but also didn't react even after being rubbed at high speed for a long time.

Under Chen Baiyu's increasingly forceful and destructive experiment, this thing didn't even lose any paint.

It remains intact.

It looks like it's still brand new and original.

The most exaggerated thing is.

When you hit it with this stick, you can't feel the vibration of the stick itself after the reaction force, and you can't even feel the reaction force coming.

This violates the laws of mechanics.

This thing is made of vibranium, and it seems to be able to absorb kinetic energy, just like Captain America's shield.

After a series of experiments were completed.

Chen Baiyu realized that he seemed to have obtained something that could be called a divine artifact.

Although it's just a stick, which doesn't quite match his identity as a mage.

However, the material that seemed to provide absolute defense was definitely worthy of being called a divine artifact.

and……

Chen Baiyu felt that this stick could still evolve.

After all, the system calls this thing "Earth Vein Essence Forged Iron"?
What is wrought iron?

In the human craft system, wrought iron refers to a material whose properties are significantly improved after preliminary treatment to remove impurities.

However, this is often not the final product; wrought iron is further processed into other steel industry products.

That's right.

Wrought iron is simply a processed material that is considered of high quality.

Therefore, this thing is considered a material in the system's eyes, and it is very likely that it can be used to synthesize and forge larger, stronger, and more powerful things.

He was really looking forward to that day.
