Chapter 33 Sign-in Points, System Store About to Open.
The Beast-eared Girls also returned to their tents one after another.
Lin Ye also took Sakura back to the tent and lay down.
He had been thinking in his mind about what else could be made into a bowstring.
Lin Ye didn’t recognize most of the plants in this world.
He hadn’t found any grapevines or ramie that could be used to make bowstrings.
As for whether there were any similar plants, Lin Ye couldn’t tell.
Lin Ye had also asked Xing if she had seen any tough and elastic plants.
But usually, they wouldn’t pay much attention to plants that couldn’t be eaten.
Moreover, Xing couldn’t understand what Lin Ye was describing.
The ideal material for making bowstrings should be beef tendon and cowhide.
But the tribe wouldn’t keep the hides of animals with very little fur; they would usually just roast them along with the meat.
Lin Ye lay in the tent, racking his brain.
Sakura lay quietly in Lin Ye’s arms, having fallen asleep at some point.
Lin Ye decided to go and check the traps he had dug today by himself the next day.
And also look for any plants that could be used to make bowstrings.
Then Lin Ye remembered that he had been busy all day and hadn’t signed in yet.
So he silently said in his mind, “System, perform daily sign-in.”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in, and you have received a reward: 100 points.”
Hearing that the sign-in reward today was points, Lin Ye was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, so Lin Ye asked in his mind.
“System. What are points?”
“Ding! The system detects that the host’s Civilization Level is about to reach the requirement to activate the System Store. Points can be used to exchange for items in the System Store.”
“System Store? So there is such a thing.” Lin Ye thought to himself after hearing the system’s explanation.
“System, what kind of items can be exchanged in the System Store?” Lin Ye continued to ask.
“Ding! The System Store has everything, but the host needs to continuously improve their Civilization Level to unlock items.”
Lin Ye nodded silently.
It seemed that laying water pipes and digging traps before had accumulated quite a lot of Civilization Level.
Lin Ye had thought that the Civilization Level achieved was too low and the system hadn’t given him any rewards.
It seemed the system had been saving them up for him.
It seemed that after the bow and arrow were made, he would gain another wave of Civilization Level.
He hoped that the System Store would be activated by then.
After thinking for a while, Lin Ye slowly drifted off to sleep.
…
The next morning.
Just as dawn was breaking.
Lin Ye walked out of the tent.
He set off to check the traps he had set up yesterday.
Along the way, Lin Ye kept looking for plants that might be suitable for making bowstrings.
But the plants he encountered were either too brittle or lacked elasticity.
Lin Ye, having found nothing, arrived at the trap.
From a distance, Lin Ye saw that the branches and grass leaves at the trap’s entrance were gone.
Lin Ye quickly walked to the trap and looked down.
At the bottom of the trap lay a wild ox with unbelievably long horns.
Seeing that he had caught a wild ox, a happy smile instantly bloomed on Lin Ye’s face.
“It’s exactly what I was thinking of. The Pony-tailed Girl’s tail is safe now.”
Lin Ye returned to the forest and collected a very long vine.
He returned to the side of the trap.
First, he tied one end of the vine to a tree.
Then, he lowered the rest of the vine into the trap.
Lin Ye climbed down the vine to the bottom of the trap.
When the wild ox fell into the trap, most of the wooden spears at the bottom of the trap did not pierce its skin, and were mostly broken by its weight.
Only three wooden spears successfully penetrated the wild ox’s body.
Lin Ye kicked the wild ox a couple of times to confirm it was dead.
He then tied the vine around its neck.
Its ridiculously long horns just happened to be in a position to secure the vine so it wouldn’t loosen.
After tightening the vine,
Lin Ye climbed back to the ground along the vine.
Then, he pulled on the vine to drag the wild ox up.
Lin Ye roughly measured the wild ox’s horns with his palm.
Their length reached a terrifying three meters, and the tips of the horns were very sharp.
Lin Ye caressed the two horns with great fondness.
These two horns were like two long spears.
Lin Ye began to imagine himself wielding the horn spears and battling Pig-headed Men.
After marveling at the horns for a while, Lin Ye re-covered the trap with branches.
Then, he grabbed the wild ox by its two horns and directly lifted it onto his back.
Lin Ye hefted the wild ox on his back, feeling its weight.
“Hmm, less than a ton. Manageable.”
Then he set off to return to the tribe.
Lin Ye walked through the forest with the wild ox on his back.
However, because the ox’s body was too large.
As Lin Ye walked with the ox on his back,
the rear half of the ox was still dragging on the ground.
And because the ox’s horns were too long.
As Lin Ye walked with it on his back,
the horns would occasionally bump into trees.
Lin Ye’s initial excitement upon seeing the ox.
Now turned into annoyance.
Finally, after the horns bumped into a tree again,
Lin Ye directly hoisted the ox up.
Holding the horns vertically with the ground.
This finally allowed him to speed up his journey.
Now that he had this ox, Lin Ye no longer needed to search for materials to make bowstrings.
The cowhide from this ox was the best material.
Beef tendon could also be used to make bowstrings, but the beef tendon still needed to be cut out from the ox.
And it was very troublesome to process.
So Lin Ye decided to just use the cowhide.
Such a large ox.
It would definitely be more than enough to make those over thirty bows and arrows.
Lin Ye carried the wild ox back to the tribe like this.
Under the shocked gazes of the Beast-eared Girls, he placed the wild ox on the ground.
