Chapter 1445 Extra 3: A Hunting 1 (Thanks to the Leader Cz丶)
During his stay in the Literary Salon, Zhang Heng accompanied Hemingway on hunting trips almost every week, but as he said, it was difficult for him to get any pleasure from it.
Not only because he can no longer feel too many emotions, but also because this matter poses almost no challenge to him.
Just like taking on a mission to collect several [freshly ripe wild fruits] or [shabby armor], the process of completing the mission itself is just a mechanical repetition. If it were not for the final mission reward, no player would do it. .
But this time the hunting was different, Zhang Heng felt the pressure and challenges.
He got up early in the morning, got dressed, picked up the shotgun and bullets, and walked out of the house.
Zhang Heng went to the restaurant to have breakfast first, and the sun had only risen not long ago, but Hemingway and others had been waiting for him on the lawn outside the house for a long time. Even fantasy bestsellers who usually have no interest in hunting Female writers also came, almost thirty of them.
No matter what era they were placed in, this group of people would probably have caused a bloody storm in the literary world. Standing on the street, readers who came to ask for autographs would probably line up from the city to the suburbs. But this time they are not the protagonists, just They are just spectators, and they are currently discussing the upcoming hunt.
"Who do you think will win, Gardner?" Agatha asked a fat man wearing a cowboy hat and glasses.
"We have all seen Zhang Heng's shooting skills, which can be said to be almost perfect. No prey can escape his gun, so... I choose that girl." Gardner, who is also a member of the reasoning club, thought. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since she is Zhang Heng's shooting teacher, her marksmanship must be better."
He originally thought Agatha would agree with him, but the Queen of Reasoning shook her head, "I have the exact opposite opinion as you. I think Zhang Heng can win."
"Why?" Gardner also became interested, "It's because we haven't seen that girl shoot before, so you don't believe that her shooting skills are better than Zhang Heng's?"
"It's not because of this. In fact, I believe her marksmanship must be very good, but this competition is not just a competition of marksmanship. Physical strength and strategy are also very important. We all know Zhang Heng's mind. Apart from that, The girl's biggest disadvantage is her physical strength. It can be seen that she must have received some military training. Her speed, strength and endurance are far beyond ordinary people, but her opponents are also not ordinary people, and there is a difference in physical fitness between men and women. There is a natural gap.”
Agatha expressed her reasoning and observations, but Conan Doyle smiled at the words and said, "I also think that girl can win."
"Did you see something else that we didn't see?" Gardner, who was almost convinced by Agatha, asked again after hearing Conan Doyle's words.
"It's simple, because she is a hunter. Isn't it normal to win this kind of hunting game?" Conan Doyle said leisurely.
"…………"
The rules of this hunting competition are very simple. The manor prepared three colored ribbons, ten red ribbons, and twenty black ribbons. Two days in advance, they captured thirty-three wild animals in the forest with tranquilizer guns and tied the ribbons to them. bodies and then released these wild animals into the forest.
After the hunt starts, you can get 20 points for a colored ribbon, 5 points for a red ribbon, and 2 points for a black ribbon. The person with the most points until the end of the hunt wins.
However, in the end, only two people participated in this hunting competition, because the others knew very well that having those two people up there was just free money, so they simply gave the stage to the real owner. Even Hemingway, who is most addicted to hunting, this time No registration.
The Hobbit housekeeper walked up to Zhang Heng and said, "She has already drawn a lot to enter the forest from point a, so you can only go to point b."
Zhang Heng nodded, "Okay."
"The carriage will take you there. Fireworks are the signal to start. Once you see the fireworks, you can enter the forest. When the sun sets, the hunting will be over. At that time, you only need to come out from the place where you entered the forest, and naturally there will be a carriage to take you. Bring us back to the manor, we will count the color and number of ribbons you got, calculate the points, and decide the final winner."
"It won't be that long." Zhang Heng checked the shotgun in his hand for the last time and said without raising his head.
"What?"
"I mean we won't wait until the sun goes down. There are 150 points in total, which means that as long as someone gets 75 points, the game will automatically end."
"Theoretically, that's the case." The Hobbit housekeeper couldn't object.
"Then let's start quickly. I also want to come back for lunch." Zhang Heng said.
…………
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the forest at a place marked with a capital letter B with red spray paint. Zhang Heng got off the carriage and waited for less than five minutes before he saw the fireworks rising into the sky behind him.
And this also heralds the official start of the hunt!
Then the coachman saw Zhang Heng's figure disappearing from the spot, and ran into the forest in front of him like a cheetah.
Zhang Heng was lucky today. He only ran less than 200 meters before he encountered a wild boar.
You must know that this is still the edge of the forest. Generally speaking, wild animals rarely come here. Moreover, the wild boar's hind legs were wrapped with a red ribbon. Zhang Heng stopped, took aim with the gun skillfully, and then pulled the trigger. .
The L3 shooting skills make the battle without any suspense.
As the bullet shot out of the gun barrel, the unlucky wild boar also fell to the ground!
On Zhang Heng's side, 5 points were credited. He took off the ribbon from the wild boar's hind legs. Because he was worried about wasting time, he did not do too much processing of the prey's carcass, and continued to ask for it. Go forward.
When he was hunting with Hemingway before, Zhang Heng could basically get good results just by paddling casually, but the opponent he faced this time forced him to be very alert, because Zhang Heng knew very well, Once you relax, you will definitely lose.
Although Zhang Heng actually didn't care much about winning or losing in the so-called hunting game, he just remembered that he didn't seem to have had any good entertainment activities with girls, so he wanted to go all out to let girls have fun, even if Their first entertainment may seem a bit strange to others.
But neither Zhang Heng nor Simon actually care much about the opinions of others.
