This Game Isn’t Normal

There was no conversation that night.

The next day, by the extinguished campfire, Alex was again the first man up.

After more than an hour of strength training in a secluded place, his phone vibrated gently.

Prompt: "Because you worked hard and seriously, your strength has increased by 1 point."

Alex's character's strength increased from 71 points to 72 points.

After about half an hour of continued training, his phone vibrated again.

The prompt said, "Because you have been working hard to build your strength, your strength has increased by 1 point."

Alex stopped training. He was not going to continue training. From yesterday's experience, if he continued training, in another hour, his character would experience hunger.

He must not repeat yesterday's mistake, and he must conserve his energy for other things.

He controls his character to go to a public well, draw up a bucket of water, let his character drink all at once, draw up a few more buckets of water, and let his character wash himself.

After doing all this, Alex controls his character and leaves the village.

According to the village elder, Ethan and Emma's fields should be in this direction.

Following this direction, Alex soon found the two siblings in a crop field.

The two siblings were busy in the crop field, catching insects and weeding the vegetables in the field.

Alex couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart. It seems that his assessment was correct. It was still early, and the brother and sister were still busy with farm work, and had not yet entered the mountains.

Alex's approach attracted the attention of the brother and sister.

"Outsider, what are you doing here?" Ethan straightened up and looked at Alex with a face full of vigilance.

Emma, on the other hand, was staring at Alex with big black and white eyes.

Some villagers not far away also paused in their work and glanced over.

If Alex dared to do anything to harm the brother and sister, they would take action against the outsider, expel him or even kill him.

Yesterday, a few more outsiders who had fled from trouble had caused trouble in the village, and a village child had been seriously injured by an outsider and had not survived, dying.

Although the outsider who attacked the child was killed on the spot by a member of the village patrol, this incident made the villagers of the Peace Village even more disgusted and vigilant towards these outsiders who had fled.

Alex stopped about two meters away from the crop field.

He thought about the wording in his heart and said, "I came here this time to specially thank you both."

"You already thanked us yesterday, you can go now," Ethan, the young man, said coldly.

Alex did not move, but stood where he was and continued, "Ethan, don't be in such a hurry to send me away. I think there could be a collaboration between us."

"Collaboration?" Ethan was taken aback at first, then laughed out loud, 'I don't think there is anything between us that we can collaborate on."

"There is,' Alex said, "I can follow you into the mountains, and you and I can work together to hunt wild animals."

Ethan laughed and said, "I can hunt wild beasts without you."

"It's different," Alex had already thought of a good response. He said, "You are indeed capable of hunting wild beasts, but you can only hunt small ones. It will be different with me joining in. If we cooperate, we can hunt some large wild beasts."

Ethan finally stopped laughing when he heard this, and instead, he looked thoughtful.

Alex continued to strike while the iron was hot: "The meat on a large beast is several or even ten times more than that on a small one. It would be difficult for you to hunt one alone, but with me, it would be different. The probability of success would definitely increase..."

As it turned out, as a young man of the new era, Alex was well-informed and knowledgeable, and it wasn't difficult to fool a young country boy.

Under Alex's smooth tongue, in the end, after some consideration, the young boy Ethan reluctantly agreed to cooperate with Alex.

Half an hour later, Ethan had organized his equipment and, with his younger sister Emma and Alex, entered the forest outside the village.

Ethan was holding a short black blade in his hand. It was a short black iron blade, about 20 cm long, with a dark black body and a sharp edge that glinted with a cold metallic light.

Alex was assigned a bone spear polished from the leg bone of a ferocious beast. The bone spear was about 70 cm long, and on top of that, he was carrying a crude wooden shield on his back.

The bone spike and wooden shield were left behind after Ethan's grandfather died. It was said that when he was alive, he was a warrior in the village patrol.

However, Ethan never met his grandfather because he died before he was born, dying in a battle between the village and bandits.

The short black blade in Ethan's hand was also a relic of his grandfather.

This character background is really well-written, Alex thought to himself with emotion.

As for the girl Emma, she was carrying food and water on her back. She walked in the middle, Alex in front of her, and her brother Ethan behind her.

Although they had reached a cooperation, the young boy Ethan was still very defensive.

He insisted that Alex walk in front, and Alex had no choice but to do as he was told.

In order not to alert the wild animals in the forest, the three walked very quietly while traveling through the forest, rarely spoke to each other, and only spoke in a very low voice when they did converse.

After walking around in the forest for about half an hour, Alex had completely lost his way in the mountains and forests.

It was the girl behind him, Emma, who was softly guiding him.

During this time, this attentive girl also picked some wild fruits in the forest, which were shared among the three.

These wild fruits more or less also replenished some energy for Alex's role.

"That horned sheep should be active in this vicinity," the girl Emma whispered as she stopped and scanned the surroundings.

Three days ago, the siblings Ethan and Emma found traces of a horned sheep in this vicinity, but as they were not sure if they could kill the horned sheep, they did not want to alert it.

"Found it." After about 10 minutes, the girl Emma led Ethan and Alex to the horned sheep.

Alex looked through the screen and found that it was indeed a goat, a goat with gray fur, the size of a calf, and two sharp black horns growing on its head.

This was the first time Alex had seen such a large goat.

At this time, the horned goat was grazing and did not notice the three people approaching it.

"Wait, I'll attack it first to attract its attention, and you, Alex, will intercept it when it runs away," Ethan said in a low voice as he tightened the black short blade in his hand.
