Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Xu Zhiyi exited the chat interface and opened her browser to search for "Nanjing Wild Boar".

If you don't search, you don't know.

There is a lot of related information online, and it has even been featured in some mainstream media outlets:

Wild boars have become a plague in Nanjing! Farmland has been destroyed, and villagers are suffering immensely!

Experts claim that the wild boar population in Nanjing has far exceeded the carrying capacity and requires scientific human intervention.

[Terrifying! Wild boar goes berserk! Charges into residential area, injuring several people; police arrive and kill it]

The Nanjing government will launch a wild boar population control plan, recruiting hunters from all walks of life, with a maximum subsidy of nearly 3,000 yuan per wild boar hunted.

Xu Zhiyi mainly looked at several official news articles.

He discovered that the wild boar infestation was not a recent phenomenon, but rather a long-standing problem in Nanjing in recent years.

This is mainly because Nanjing previously focused on environmental protection and reforestation, resulting in excellent ecological environments in places like Zijin Mountain, Qixia Mountain, and Niushou Mountain, which have led to the increased activity of wild animals such as wild boars and rabbits.

The problem is that these wild boars and rabbits reproduce very quickly and have no natural predators in places like Nanjing, so their numbers have been increasing rapidly in recent years.

Today, it has become the undisputed tyrant of Nanjing!

They often come down the mountain in groups, burrowing into farmland, gnawing on crops, and even wandering into residential areas, causing great distress to the surrounding residents.

Xu Zhiyi searched on short video platforms again and found many videos of wild boars rampaging through cornfields, knocking down a large area of ​​the corn that was waiting to be harvested.

Some wild boars aren't afraid of people at all and just wander around the neighborhood.

The comment section below the video was buzzing with activity:

Residents of Nanjing say that if wild boars aren't controlled soon, they'll take over the city.

Last year, I saw a huge wild boar near Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. It was incredibly large, about the size of a Mini Cooper. It scared me half to death!

[Is wild boar meat delicious?]

Wild boar meat is not tasty; it's very gamey and contains many parasites.

Isn't a wild boar a protected animal? Eating it is illegal!

[It's 2026 already, and they're still protecting animals! Wild boars have long been removed from the list of protected animals, but hunting them is generally still not allowed. [I heard that during the current regulatory period, individuals can apply for hunting licenses, and there are even government subsidies for hunting wild boars, supposedly calculated based on the weight of the boar.]

[There's a subsidy for hunting wild boar? Holy crap, does that mean my thirty years of archery skills will finally come in handy?]

Anyone want to team up for a hunting trip?

I checked the news; apparently, hunting a wild boar can earn you at least two thousand yuan. That sounds like a lucrative business!

[What a joke! Wild boars are ferocious; they're not that easy to catch.]

Xu Zhiyi scrolled through the comments one by one, and then she had a better understanding of the situation.

He thought about it for a moment.

Tomorrow is the weekend, two days should be enough.

So he contacted Xu Zhiyuan and confirmed the time and place.

Then I opened 12306 and bought the earliest high-speed rail ticket to Nanjing.

The bus departs at 6:29 AM and arrives at 7:40 AM.

The next morning, Xu Zhiyi woke up on time.

He quickly washed up, changed into his black tracksuit, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and packed all his equipment, including his action camera and miniature video camera. As for his slingshot and harpoon, he couldn't bring them on the high-speed train and had to check them in.

However, he has a storage bag, so he can just throw things into it.

After that, I took the subway to the high-speed rail station, went through security, had my ticket checked, waited for my train, and then took the high-speed rail straight to Nanjing, the provincial capital, more than 200 kilometers away.

Sitting in the car, he summoned the weapon refining panel.

The colorful "Rubik's Cube" is still spinning.

[Soul-Severing Dart Forging Progress: 95.8%]

Soon, soon!

The Soul-Severing Dart should be ready by 3 or 4 p.m. at the latest!

Time flies.

A short while later, the train's public address system came on.

"Passengers, the next stop is Jinling South Station —"

Xu Zhiyi looked out the window and saw a modern metropolis full of skyscrapers coming towards her.

We've arrived in Jinling.

He walked out of the station with the crowd and immediately saw Xu Zhiyuan who had come to pick him up.

The guy was wearing a gray windbreaker and carrying a big bag. He was standing on the edge of the square looking around. When he saw Xu Zhiyi coming over, he immediately waved excitedly.

"Over here!"

Xu Zhiyi went over and greeted them.

Xu Zhiyuan looked him up and down, and said with no small amount of envy, "Haven't seen you for a while, and you seem to have gotten even more handsome? Tsk tsk, now you can even threaten me!"

Xu Zhiyi ignored his nonsense and asked directly, "Where to now?"

"Eat something first, then I'll take you to the Agricultural Bureau to register and meet my senior colleague. He works at the Agricultural Bureau, and he's the one who helped us get the scientific expedition spots this time."

Theoretically speaking, we're just there for research and don't have the right to hunt wild boars. But if a wild boar walks right into our line of fire, then we can only defend ourselves—you understand?

Xu Zhiyi nodded.

He also knew that Nanjing had a complete system for managing wild boars, and that hunting control was limited to government-approved professional agricultural protection hunting teams.

Individuals cannot participate in hunting.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

What Xu Zhiyuan just described is one such situation.

They will join a hunting team under the name of the School of Biology and follow the team. When they hunt wild boars, they will naturally get a share of the spoils.

"When we go hunting in the mountains at night, my senior brother will also go with us."

Xu Zhiyuan said seriously, "He'll be in charge of driving, I'll be in charge of reconnaissance, and you'll be in charge of the operation—if we make any progress, we'll split it equally among the three of us. What do you think?"

"Can."

Xu Zhiyi naturally had no objections.

For him, being able to legally hunt wild boars was enough.

"Another issue is equipment," Xu Zhiyuan asked as he led Xu Zhiyi outside. "Your slingshot and harpoon were shipped here, right?"

Xu Zhiyi nodded, indicating that everything was in her backpack.

"That's good. My senior brother was planning to buy a composite bow yesterday, but I told him that your slingshot is enough, there's no need for a composite bow at all."

Xu Zhiyuan clearly had a lot of confidence in Xu Zhiyi.

This is not difficult to understand.

As a top student in the biology department, he was well aware of the defense values ​​of these animals.

Everyone says wild boars have thick skin.

But no matter how thick a wild boar's hide is, can it be as defensive as the skull of an alligator gar?

He had personally witnessed Xu Zhiyi perform brain surgery on an alligator gar that was over a meter long using a slingshot. He remembered the scene vividly and probably would never forget it.

"When you come to Nanjing, you absolutely must try duck blood and vermicelli soup!"

Xu Zhiyuan led Xu Zhiyi to a breakfast shop near the station, where they ordered two baskets of soup dumplings and two bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup, explaining the situation as they ate.

"There are quite a few people interested in this round of regulatory measures. I heard from my senior that even people from Shanghai have come here specifically to participate in the bidding. I guess they're just bored and treating this regulatory measure like a hunting game."

"Are there many wild boars?" Xu Zhiyi asked.

He didn't care how many hunters came; he only cared about whether there were enough wild boars to kill.

"A lot! A lot!" Xu Zhiyuan said seriously, "There are at least several hundred wild boars just near Zijin Mountain. Our goal this time is to hunt down about two hundred of them to reduce the population."

"Two hundred heads—"

Xu Zhiyi seemed to be deep in thought.

Although we don't know how much experience a wild boar can give, it probably won't be less than that of a scavenger.

If we could kill all two hundred of them—

"We don't need to kill that many; getting three to five will be a huge profit!"

Xu Zhiyuan took a sip of vermicelli soup and said dreamily, "Wild boars weighing less than 60 jin will receive a subsidy of 1,900 yuan per head; wild boars weighing between 60 and 120 jin will receive 2,500 yuan per head! And wild boars weighing more than 120 jin will receive 3,000 yuan per head!"

If we just kill three or five of them tonight, we can make ten thousand dollars!

Xu Zhiyi nodded, but in his heart he was thinking that since he had come all this way, if he didn't kill thirty or fifty of them, wouldn't it be a waste of his train ticket money?
