Chapter 2: add points, upgrade
The three of them were silent, and they walked to a house that was lit with fire.
"Dad! You're back!"
In an instant, a sallow and thin boy of twelve or thirteen years old quickly ran out of the house and threw himself into Chen Guodong's arms. He was Chen Fan's younger brother, Chen Chen.
Chen Chen raised his head, looked around, and then asked with some disappointment: "Dad, did you bring back food this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach started growling.
Chen Guodong blushed, he hesitated and said: "This time, something happened, next time, next time."
"But, that's what you said last time."
The boy blinked and blinked, his eyes were extremely clear.
The woman quickly pulled him away, complaining: "Didn't you see your dad was injured? Be careful when touching the wound."
She didn't dare to say that this time, Dad almost didn't come back.
"ah?"
The boy followed the woman's gaze, and suddenly took a step back in fright, "Dad, yes, I'm sorry."
"What does this have to do with you."
Chen Guodong patted the boy's head, then looked at the woman and said, "Cook some rice soup? Is there any money at home? I'll see if I can go to Songjiabao tomorrow to exchange some food."
"It's long gone, even the wedding ring you gave me was exchanged." The woman shook her head, then walked into the house, scooped half a spoonful of rice at the bottom of the jar, and went to cook porridge.
There is not much left in the rice tank, and I can last for a week if I eat all of them. I really have nothing to eat.
"Xiao Fan."
Chen Guodong waved at Chen Fan and asked with concern, "How is your body?"
"It's all right, Dad."
Chen Fan tried his best to imitate the original body's movements and tone.
In my impression, Yuanzheng seemed to be a little afraid of his taciturn father, so the relationship was a little estranged, which was a good thing for him.
Chen Guodong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded and said briefly: "It's fine."
Dinner is porridge, mostly water, but there are some rice grains at the bottom of the pot.
The family of four licked the bottom of the bowl, and Chen Guodong, who was the pillar, drank another bowl.
Afterwards, they each went to rest.
Chen Fan and his younger brother slept in the west room, and his parents' small conversation sounded in his ears. It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop.
"Guodong, do you know? I'm so worried today that you, like them, won't come back." Mother sobbed softly.
"I'll be fine, don't worry." The man's voice was calm and powerful.
"But what about next time?"
The whole room fell into silence.
Chen Fan sighed lightly.
Don't look at it like this, it's very hard to live without a meal, but many people don't even have a place to stay. In those cities, let alone whether they are willing to take you in when you go, just talk about the danger in the middle, ordinary people have ten things Life is not enough.
Strength, only strong strength can survive.
He closed his eyes, and with a thought, something similar to the character attribute panel in the game appeared in his mind, which was extremely real.
Realm: None
Level: 1 (0/1)
Physique: 8 (the average value of an adult male is 10 points, the same below)
Strength: 7
Dexterity: 7
Spirit: 5
Skills: None
Potential points: 1 (1 point/1 day)
In addition, behind the grade, there is a big plus sign, which is particularly conspicuous.
And this plus sign was not there an hour ago. He traveled here last night, and to this night, it took about 25 hours.
When the data panel first appeared, he thought it was his own hallucination. It was not until after repeated confirmations that he finally confirmed that it was his system that had credited the account.
This plus sign should consume potential points.
Chen Fan took a deep breath, his heart moved, and he saw that the plus sign on the back seemed to be pressed by someone, and then, a powerful hot current gushed out from his heart, flowing to every corner of his body.
"Crack, click."
A subtle sound came from all parts of his body, and there was an indescribable sense of openness.
"Is this, strengthening my body?"
This idea jumped out of Chen Fan's mind, and he clearly felt that the strength in his body had become stronger.
After a few seconds, the heat dissipated. If it wasn't for the sweat from his body that wet his clothes, he would have doubted whether it was just his illusion.
Clenching his fists, he really felt a strong sense of strength, which he didn't have before.
"By the way, the system!"
He looked hurriedly, and the attributes really changed.
Realm: None
Level: 2 (0/2)
Physical: 8.8
Strength: 7.7
Dexterity: 7.7
Spirit: 5.5
Skills: None
Potential points: 0 (1 point/1 day)
"!!"
His eyes lit up, and he saw four attributes, all increased by about 10%, barely reaching the standard of an adult man.
No wonder my body feels stronger.
He became more and more excited, feeling that there was a glimmer of hope in his future life, but unfortunately, the potential point became 0 again, and the others remained unchanged.
"It seems that it will take another day to get a little more experience."
Chen Fan sighed, and the plus sign behind the level also disappeared, and the original 0/1 also became 0/2.
"It seems that if you want to continue to upgrade your level, you need to consume two potential points. I don't know how to increase the growth rate of potential points. One point a day. Now I don't even have food to eat. Living one more day is a luxury."
Chen Fan said to himself, the time left for him is running out.
His eyes slowly moved down and landed on the skill column, which showed nothing.
So, this is a reminder to myself, to learn martial arts skills?
However, I haven't heard that anyone in this earth castle knows kung fu? He himself remembered a few moves of Taijiquan, but he learned them when he was studying, and he was careless when he was doing them.
Besides, even if there is Tai Chi, in this place where there is a lack of medicine, you can't fight with fierce beasts. Otherwise, if you are injured, you can only heal yourself. If you are too seriously injured, you can only wait for death.
To learn, it is best to learn archery, the last is iron guns, sticks and other long-handled weapons, one inch long and one inch stronger, and finally swords.
"Try tomorrow."
Chen Fan quickly made a decision to learn archery.
There are not many iron weapons in the earth castle, and iron bows are probably even more scarce, because only two or three of my father and the others are equipped with longbows, and the others use long spears, shields and other melee weapons.
As for guns? That's a valuable item, killing low-level ferocious beasts is like a joke, so the price is frighteningly expensive!
But it doesn't matter, he can first use wood, combined with a broken bowstring, or the tendons of a fierce beast, to make a wooden bow. It is not difficult to gather these resources.
Even if archery is not a martial art at all, you can learn self-defense. In the future, you will go hunting with the hunting team. After all, relying on others is not the way, you have to support yourself.
Otherwise, in this cruel world, it is impossible to survive.
As Chen Fan thought about it, he gradually felt drowsy and fell asleep until early in the morning when he was awakened by a scream from outside.
