Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

Today is the first day back at work, and Chang Kun needs to take his mother to the supply and marketing cooperative as soon as possible.

He simply noted down the location where the prey had appeared and then hurriedly left.

I rode to the supply and marketing cooperative, dropped my mother off, and gave Director Song and Wang Cuiqin two wild rabbits each.

Director Song politely declined a few times before accepting the gift.

Wang Cuiqin was overjoyed, calling him "Auntie" repeatedly and patting her chest to assure Chang Kun that the supply and marketing cooperative was her new home and she would definitely not suffer any grievances.

Without saying much more, Chang Kun rushed off to the Institute of Zoology.

On the way, he checked the system notification.

System upgrade complete.

The host can sense the weight and shape of prey; special prey will have special markings. The system space can store inanimate objects, with a capacity of 3*3*3 cubic meters (upgradeable).

The system upgrade introduction was simple, but Chang Kun was overjoyed.

He had always been able to sense the weight of his prey when he went hunting in the mountains, but he couldn't tell what kind of prey it was, which sometimes led to some dangers.

Just like when he first encountered the black bear, he sensed the prey and mistook the black bear for a wild boar or other prey, almost running into it head-on.

After the system upgrade, it can sense the shape of the prey, so there's no longer any fear of such danger.

Moreover, previously the system space could only store system rewards, so the space was almost useless.

Now that it's been upgraded, it can store dead animals, so once you've caught your prey, you no longer need to figure out how to find a vehicle to transport it back and forth.

Having real space is so convenient!

Chang Kun couldn't wait any longer. He rode his bike into a deserted alley, reached out and pressed the bicycle down, and with a "whoosh," the bicycle was stored in his spatial storage.

He played around for a while, then headed to the animal research institute with a ruddy complexion.

When they found Cheng Rongjiang, he was wearing a white coat, holding down a clod of earth, and taking venom into a test tube.

Chang Kun didn't disturb him and put the wild rabbit he had brought aside.

After a while, having collected the venom, Cheng Rongjiang noticed Chang Kun standing to the side: "Xiao Kun, you're here. Have a seat."

He saw the wild rabbit on the ground, smiled, and said nothing.

"I've already spoken to the director. You're a skilled hunter, and we can't let that talent go to waste. Your current position is a sampling technician, specifically responsible for sampling various animals."

Cheng Rongjiang paused, worried that Chang Kun might not understand, and pointed to the venomous snake in the glass box: "Just like yesterday when we went to the mountains to catch snakes, that was your task."

Chang Kun smiled slightly. This was for the best, as it allowed him to fully utilize the system's strengths.

"Uncle Cheng, what should I do now?"

Cheng Rongjiang shook his head: "There's nothing to do right now. The snakes you caught for me yesterday are enough for me to use for several months. There are no other tasks at the moment."

"So... I'll just sit here idly?"

"Hey, how can that be called idling! Go have some tea, read the newspaper, and keep up with national affairs. Come on, come on, my office is next door, you can sit with me."

Chang Kun didn't know how to extract the venom, so Cheng Rongjiang sent him back to his office for tea.

Chang Kun shook his head. Is this what working life is like? It's so damn comfortable!

Although we get paid and have food to eat, it's still incredibly boring.

Chang Kun hadn't even finished brewing the tea when the office door was suddenly flung open.

"Dad, Dad..." Cheng Min burst in. "Chang Kun? What are you doing here? Oh right, you're here for work. Where's my dad?"

Before Chang Kun could speak, Cheng Min's eyes lit up. "By the way, you're good at catching snakes. We should ask you instead of my dad!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Chang Kun's arm and started walking outside.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Come with me now, we'll talk on the way!"

Chang Kun went next door to say hello to Cheng Rongjiang, then got on his bicycle and followed Cheng Min.

On the way, Cheng Min explained the situation.

She is a teacher at Gulou Primary School. Today, during class, a venomous snake as thick as a forearm fell from the roof beam, almost scaring the students unconscious.

Fortunately, she had been in contact with many animals with her father and was brave enough to use a broom to drive the venomous snake away.

The students were so frightened that they cried loudly and dared not enter the classroom. When the students in the next class heard about it, they were also frightened and ran to the playground, fearing that the venomous snake would sneak into their classroom and bite them.

The school's dean of students organized teachers to search every classroom carefully, but they still couldn't find any trace of the venomous snake.

That's a venomous snake as thick as an arm; it can't possibly fly into the sky!

Someone mentioned that Cheng Min's father worked at an animal research institute and was very skilled at dealing with these venomous snakes and wild beasts.

Cheng Min was then sent to ask her father for help in catching the snake.

These days, other schools would have already been on the verge of closing down.

At this time, neither the adults nor the children were getting enough to eat.

Both teaching and learning require energy.

The teachers and students were not getting enough to eat, and over time, fewer and fewer students came to school, and the school was almost empty.

But the primary school where Cheng Min studied was different. Most of the students there were children from government compounds, whose basic needs for food and clothing were at least guaranteed.

If a child from a government compound is bitten by a venomous snake at school, the school will be in serious trouble.

Therefore, the head of the teaching department repeatedly urged Cheng Min to quickly ask someone to come and help.

Chang Kun understood. After all that talk, it was just about catching snakes, which was too easy.

Fortunately, Cheng Min asked him to do it; if Cheng Rongjiang had been asked to catch the snake, he would never have been able to find one.

The two sped all the way to the school.

The school has two rows of classrooms with blue bricks and gray tiles. Teachers stand in twos and threes in front of the classroom doors, looking around warily, as if afraid that a venomous snake might jump out from somewhere and bite them.

On the playground, groups of elementary school students were laughing and playing. They had forgotten the terror of the venomous snakes. Since they could play on the playground instead of going to class, they couldn't be more happy if more venomous snakes came.

The head of the teaching department was heavily pregnant, a rare sight in these times when everyone was starving.

Upon seeing Cheng Min return from afar, he hurriedly went to greet her: "Teacher Cheng, who did you invite...?"

He saw Chang Kun following behind Cheng Min, who looked to be under twenty years old, and felt a little annoyed.

We agreed that Cheng Min would call her father to help, but instead they brought over a young punk. Isn't this just making things worse?

But he didn't become the dean of students for nothing; although he was dissatisfied, he didn't show it on his face.

"This is Technician Chang from the Zoological Research Institute; he's very skilled at dealing with venomous snakes."

Cheng Min had only heard from her father that Chang Kun was exceptionally good at catching snakes, but she had never seen it with her own eyes and dared not give a guarantee to the head of the teaching department.

"Welcome, welcome. Thank you very much for coming to help, Technician Chang." The Dean of Studies shook hands with Chang Kun, his expression unchanged.

Chang Kun nodded without saying anything.

He activated the system's sensors as he entered the school, and found snakes in several classrooms—quite a few.

The dean of students led the way, with Chang Kun and Cheng Min following behind.

Cheng Min leaned close to Chang Kun's ear and whispered, "Don't be too sure of yourself. If you can catch them, then catch them; if you can't, then forget it."

Chang Kun felt a tickle near his ear and nodded gently.

The three arrived at the door of a classroom, where a tall, thin young man approached them: "Xiaomin, who's this? Didn't we invite your father over?"

Cheng Min frowned, her face showing disgust:

"Yan Feng, how dare you call Xiao Min that?"

The young man named Yan Feng's face flashed with anger, but he then said with a grin, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Cheng Min, who did you invite?"

He had just seen Cheng Min whispering to Chang Kun, and his jealousy flared up. He wished he were the one standing next to Cheng Min.

As the group approached, he saw that Chang Kun looked quite respectable, and couldn't help but wonder about the relationship between the two.

Cheng Min had only hoped that Chang Kun could help the school catch snakes, but seeing Yan Feng's appearance, she had an idea and reached out to grab Chang Kun's arm:

"This is my best friend, Chang Kun. I invited him to help catch the snake."

Yan Feng felt a tightness in his chest and clenched his fists tightly: "Oh? Your friend?? None of us teachers could catch the snake, how could he?"

Seeing Cheng Min holding Chang Kun's arm, jealousy almost drove him mad.

Chang Kun narrowed his eyes, looked back and forth between Cheng Min and Yan Feng, and understood that Cheng Min had no interest in Yan Feng, but Yan Feng was determined to pester her relentlessly.

Cheng Rongjiang and Cheng Jie had been a great help to the Chang family in terms of their jobs and household registration. Now that Cheng Min needed help, they naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

He smiled at Cheng Min, then glanced at Yan Feng:

"So what if it works? How about we make a bet?"
