He tiptoed closer to within ten meters. With his camouflage abilities, Chang Kun wasn't afraid of Feilong discovering him.

He took out the slingshot from his spatial storage and aimed at a larger dragon.

"puff!"

The "One Hit Kill" skill rewarded by the system is really useful. The pebble hit the dragon's head directly, and the tiny creature fell to the ground under the pine tree with a soft thud.

The remaining five were startled and hurriedly darted a few steps forward, flapping their wings as they tried to escape.

The flying dragon is a small creature that flies quite fast, but it can't fly high or far. It usually flies only two or three steps before landing on a tree or the ground.

Chang Kun didn't stop, using his slingshot to pursue them, shooting pebbles one after another, causing flying dragons to fall to the ground.

There were six in total, all stored away. I'll take them home and have a good taste to see if they're as delicious as the legends say, so fresh you could swallow your tongue.

On the way back, I casually shot three pheasants and carried them in my hand. I ate too much roe deer meat last night, so I wanted to change things up when I got back.

"Chang Kun is back, hahaha! You caught another black bear, you're amazing!" Zou Shengrong greeted him as soon as he arrived at the base entrance.

Just three days after arriving at the breeding base, Chang Kun helped the base kill two black bears. With the addition of the little black bear that Li Lei brought, they were not far from their goal of ten black bears.

Zou Shengrong originally thought that it would take several months to catch enough black bears, and it might even drag on until winter.

It seems that it can probably be completed in two weeks. Once the project starts, he will truly deserve the title of director of the base.

"Director Zou, you're too kind. It's a pheasant we caught on the mountain. You can handle it as you see fit."

Zou Shengrong took the pheasant, waved his hand, and said, "Go and rest. I'll teach you a lesson."

Back in his dorm, Chang Kun stretched and looked at the empty room, feeling a pang of homesickness.

……

It was morning at Chang Kun's home.

Chang Mei was taking care of Xiao Bao by herself while sewing new autumn clothes for the family. Recently, Liu Meifen had gotten a lot of substandard fabric from the supply and marketing cooperative. It was cheap and didn't require cloth coupons. The key point was that the quality was really good.

These past few days, with Chang Kun away from home, the three little girls, Chang Qing, Chang Mu, and Chang Xiu, have been having a blast playing with Cheng Min, and she's been taken to the city to play with them all the time.

Today was no different; the group was strolling along Wangfujing Street together.

"That's it! Big brother slapped her a few times and chased that wicked woman away!"

Chang Qing was vividly recounting the scene of her elder brother slapping Shi Zhenxiang, as if she had witnessed it herself, though in reality she had only heard it from her mother.

Cheng Min tilted her head and nodded: "Your older brother did the right thing. What kind of family does that? They want to increase the agreed-upon bride price several times over. It's just too much!"

"Right, Sister Cheng? Your family certainly wouldn't be like that." Chang Qing looked at Cheng Min with a sly grin.

Cheng Min blushed and didn't answer. Instead, she said to Chang Mu and Chang Xiu, "Little Mu and Xiu'er, come on, I'll buy you donkey rolls. Xiao Qing is too full, so I won't buy any for her."

"Ah—no!"

……

On the other hand, after making inquiries from various sources, Yan Feng learned which courtyard the Chang Kun family wanted to be allocated.

Without saying a word, he went straight to his aunt's house.

"Auntie, there's a house in Nanluoguxiang, a detached house with four rooms. It's recently become available. What do you think? Are you interested?"

"You think of your aunt when something good happens? Xiao Feng, that's not like you!" Aunt Yan Feng wasn't so easily fooled; she knew her nephew wouldn't do anything without a reason.

"Hehe," Yan Feng rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Auntie, this courtyard is already on the waiting list, and I have a bit of a conflict with this person, so..."

"Hmph! So you're using your aunt as a pawn?"

"I wouldn't dare. The family in line has no connections; they're just farmers who just arrived. I've found out everything about them. If we snatch the house, you get the house, and I get my revenge. It's a win-win situation."

"real?"

Aunt Yan Feng was still a little skeptical. How could a four-room courtyard house be allocated to a farmer who had just moved in?

Do you think the neighborhood committee is a charity?!

"Auntie, believe me, I've told you. You can look it up yourself. It's not a big deal for you anyway."

"Okay, thanks to my nephew for thinking of his aunt. He took that Ya Shuang Snow Cream from the table with him when he left, so he can give your mom a jar."

……

While Chang Kun was taking a nap in his dormitory, Zou Shengrong had already prepared the pheasant.

"Chang Kun, come and have a taste."

"Hey, beggar's chicken, iron pot stewed chicken, pickled cabbage and chicken giblets, Director Zou, you're definitely better than the chefs at restaurants, you can tell it's delicious just by the smell."

Zou Shengrong used three pheasants to make three dishes, plus the leftover roe deer meat from last night, making it a full meat feast.

"Haha, it's all thanks to you. Before you came, the three of us were eating cornbread every day."

The three Chen brothers, drawn by the aroma, gathered around the table.

"Absolutely! We barely dragged the black bear back when Brother Chang Kun came back with three pheasants. That speed is incredible!"

"Those hunters from Anmin Village next door, always so cocky, didn't even manage to hunt a black bear today!"

"They're going to get revenge on the black bear, so shut up!"

Chang Kun, Zou Shengrong, and the three Chen brothers drank and ate meat, boasting to each other, and unknowingly drank a bit too much.

The liquor in Northeast China is all strong, at least 50 or 60 degrees. You don't feel anything when you drink it, but it starts to make you feel drunk after a while.

Early the next morning.

Chang Kun woke up groggily, shook his head, and felt a lingering pain in his head.

While resting on the kang (a heated brick bed), I casually opened the system.

[Ding! Roe deer captured 1/1, reward: 10 paper firecrackers, some firecracker powder.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 620 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 1600 meters.]

[Ding! Black Bear 1/1 captured, reward: One Hero brand fountain pen.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 640 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 1650 meters.]

Upon seeing the firecrackers awarded by the system, Chang Kun looked nostalgic; it had been a long time since he had played with such a thing.

Cut a slit in the bottom of the bullet casing, put the gunpowder in the slit, and when the bullet is thrown into the air, it will make a "pop" sound when it hits the ground.

With this great stuff, my girlfriends will be so happy they'll be practically bubbling with joy when I get home.

Just as I was about to take out a firecracker to play with, I suddenly heard someone talking loudly in the courtyard outside the gate.

After walking into the courtyard, Chang Kun understood what was going on.

Another tragedy has occurred in Anmin Village next door!

This morning, as usual, some women from the neighboring Anmin Village went into the mountains in groups to pick mushrooms and schisandra berries.

After these things are dried, you can exchange them for needles, thread, and other small items at the town's supply and marketing cooperative.

A woman was picking mushrooms when she slowly broke away from the group and walked into a small grove of trees. After a scream, there was no more sound.

The other women who came with them picked up stones and sticks to bolster their courage. They glanced into the distance and saw a black bear dragging the woman into the depths of the forest.

Seeing this, everyone else was so frightened that they ran back to the village. Before long, the whole village was abuzz with the news that a man-eating black bear had appeared in the vicinity.

As the breeding base is a neighbor of Anmin Village, the village head also sent someone to inform them.

Upon hearing this news, Chang Kun immediately thought of the mother bear, the one who ate Zhang Erdang. Now it seems she's addicted to eating people and has started attacking them again!

Chen Asan exclaimed in surprise, "The base is currently raising three black bears. I've been feeding them for the past two days, and they haven't seemed particularly fierce!"

Chang Kun curled his lip. Xiong was a ferocious beast that did not match his appearance. He seemed honest and kind, but was actually treacherous, cunning, and ruthless!

You think they're Big Bear and Little Bear, but they're actually Grandma Bear, the Bear Demon!

It's much more sleazy than a tiger or lion! At least when people see a lion or tiger, they know to keep their distance.
