Chapter 2
Mysterious Fragment! Alternate Dimension!

Seeing double? Snow blindness? Or are you dizzy from hunger?

Qin Si was puzzled. To confirm that he wasn't mistaken, he blinked his eyes hard, quickly verifying that the red light was real!

As he got closer, Qin Si was stunned.

A red shard shaped like a musical note floated quietly on the snow. The shard emitted a red glow, looking quite eerie.

“This is…?”

Qin Si reached out with a trembling hand to touch the floating shard, but pulled it back halfway.

Facing this sudden appearance, fear arose in his heart.

The unknown brought curiosity, but also fear.

“Heh…” Qin Si chuckled, “What else can I lose?”

A nonsensical time travel, arriving in this impoverished era, where food was scarce and he could die of starvation or freezing at any moment…

“Big deal if I die, maybe I can go back, or maybe I'll travel to a better world.”

With this thought, Qin Si’s eyes gradually hardened.

His hand reached out, touching the floating red shard. A ding sound echoed in his mind.

“Picked up 【Hunting Rifle Proficiency】 Shard *1 (1/1), shard quantity is full, can be used directly.”

“Use!”

Ignoring his surprise, Qin Si vaguely understood something was amiss.

The moment Qin Si chose to use it, a warm current suddenly surged into his mind.

Then, Qin Si discovered with surprise that his brain now contained a wealth of information about using a hunting rifle – aiming, shooting, moving targets… and so on, a whole bunch of information about hunting rifles.

If he were to shoot now, even at ten meters, twenty meters, or even thirty meters, he could hit every shot without fail!

Beyond that, his accuracy would decline.

It wasn't his ability that was lacking, but the low limit of the low-quality hunting rifle in his hand.

Try it!

Pouring gunpowder, loading iron balls…

Just as Qin Si wanted to find a tree to test it out, a grunting sound came from the distance – it was the group of wild boars from before.

They hadn't run far!

Qin Si quickly grabbed his hunting rifle, loaded with gunpowder and iron balls, and followed the chaotic footprints in the snow.

He stealthily moved through the forest for dozens of meters, spotting the wild boars.

Only one, it was alone.

It was rooting around the tree roots in the snow, less than twenty meters, maybe thirty meters away.

Qin Si leaned against a tree, supporting the rifle with his hand, aiming.

In this moment, inspiration struck. He pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The shot rang out, striking the wild boar in the head. Its body stiffened and instantly fell to the ground.

“Hit it!”

Qin Si’s heart leaped with joy. He pulled out his waist knife and charged towards the struggling wild boar, delivering a few more blows to end its life.

Although not as big as the previous boar, it was still close to one hundred kilograms!

At this time, another shard appeared beside the wild boar’s corpse, radiating light. This time, it wasn’t red, but white!

“Another one?”

Qin Si gasped, catching his breath, as a guess formed in his mind:

“Kill a creature, get a shard?”

“It was red before, white this time, what will it be?”

Qin Si reached out and touched it.

“Picked up 【500 kilograms of Rice】 Shard *1 (1/1), shard quantity is full, can be used directly.”

“Use!”

Five sacks of rice materialized out of thin air on the snow, each weighing one hundred kilograms.

Qin Si used his knife to cut open one of the bags, grabbed a handful of white rice, and held it in his palm, unable to contain his excitement.

It really was rice!

Food! Five hundred kilograms of rice, enough for him to eat until he was sick!

After ten minutes or so, Qin Si finally calmed down. Looking at the five hundred kilograms of rice on the ground and the wild boar corpse beside it, he suddenly felt awkward.

In his excitement, he had directly chosen to use it.

How would he get it back now?

Five hundred kilograms of rice plus two wild boars at three hundred kilograms, a total of almost eight hundred kilograms.

The mountain path was already difficult, and even more so in the snow. It was even harder to walk.

With his body, starved for a month, carrying over one hundred kilograms down the mountain was almost his limit, the rest would have to be moved in several trips.

He should have waited to choose use it back home, five hundred kilograms of rice would be enough to exhaust him.

What if wild boars, wolves, tigers, or other wild animals came looking after he left and stole his haul? Qin Si would be heartbroken.

Qin Si sighed.

“Oh well, what’s yours is yours, what’s not is not.”

He took about twenty kilograms of rice from the bag, tied it around his waist, then hid the rest of the rice and the larger wild boar under leaves and snow. Qin Si carried the almost one hundred kilograms of smaller wild boar, slowly leaving.

He would come back tomorrow to move the rest.

The mountain path was five or six kilometers long, and it was almost dark by the time he reached the village. Still, Qin Si didn’t forget to check the traps he had set along the way, to see if they had caught anything.

Flap! Flap!

He checked four traps in succession, all empty, Qin Si, already expecting nothing, was quite happy with his harvest.

Unexpectedly, the last trap gave him a surprise.

A wild chicken’s foot was caught in the trap rope, flapping its wings.

Right now, Qin Si had twenty kilograms of rice tied around his waist, a hunting rifle on his back, and a one hundred kilogram wild boar on his shoulders.

Looking at the flapping wild chicken, he was caught in a happy dilemma.

This was his most fruitful harvest ever.

Bang!

Qin Si threw the wild boar on his shoulder to the ground, pulled out his waist knife, and walked towards the flapping wild chicken.

“If you don’t die, I’ll die. Thank you.”

He said, then slashed the wild chicken’s neck.

Warm blood sprayed onto the snow, dyeing a bloody plum blossom in the snow.

He had killed seven or eight creatures in a month.

Now, Qin Si’s heart was as cold as the knife in his hand.

After the wild chicken in his hand died, Qin Si tied it to his waist with his belt.

He didn’t leave immediately, but carefully observed, to see if another shard would appear…

Suddenly, Qin Si’s eyes lit up, his brow furrowed with joy.

Black light appeared above the bloody plum blossom, black!

This time, it was a black shard!

Red, white, black.

Three different colored shards had appeared in a row, and all of them after he killed prey!

It was basically confirmed that the appearance of the shards was not a coincidence.

Qin Si directly reached out and touched the black shard.

“Picked up 【Extradimensional Space】 Shard *1 (1/1), shard quantity is full, can be used directly.”

“Extradimensional Space? Use!”

Even though he didn’t understand what it was, after confirming it wasn’t rice, Qin Si directly chose to use it.

Qin Si suddenly felt an extradimensional space, the size of over a hundred soccer fields, had a strange connection with him.

As if everything in it was under his control!
