Chapter 2 Add Points and Upgrade

The three of them walked to a house with a fire in silence.

"Dad! You're back!"

Instantly, a pale and thin boy of about twelve or thirteen years old ran out of the house quickly 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, didn't you bring back any food this time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach started to growl.

Chen Guodong blushed and hesitantly said: "This time, there was an accident. Next time, I will definitely do it next time."

"But that's what you said last time."

The boy blinked his eyes, his eyes were clear.

The woman quickly pulled him away and complained: "Didn't you see that your dad was injured? Be careful not to touch the wound."

She didn't dare to say that your dad almost didn't come back this time.

"Ah?"

The boy followed the woman's gaze and took a step back in shock. "Dad, yes, I'm sorry."

"What does this have to do with you?"

Chen Guodong touched 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 to exchange some food tomorrow."

"It's all gone. Even the wedding ring you gave me was exchanged." The woman shook her head, then walked into the house, scooped a small half spoonful of rice from the bottom of the jar, and went to cook porridge.

There was not much left in the rice jar. At most, it could last for a week. If this was eaten up, there would be nothing to eat.

"Xiao Fan."

Chen Guodong waved at Chen Fan and asked with concern, "How is your health?"

"It's fine now, Dad."

Chen Fan tried his best to imitate the original body's movements and tone.

In his impression, the original body seemed to be a little afraid of his taciturn father, and the relationship was a little distant because of this. This 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: "I'm glad you're okay."

Dinner was porridge, mostly water, but with some rice grains at the bottom of the pot.

The family of four licked the bottom of the bowl clean, and Chen Guodong, as the mainstay, drank another bowl.

Afterwards, they went to rest.

Chen Fan and his brother slept in the west room, and the subtle conversation of his parents rang in his ears. It was not that he wanted to eavesdrop, but the room was really simple and the sound insulation was very poor.

"Guodong, do you know? I was so worried today, afraid that you would be like them and not come back." The mother sobbed softly.

"I'll be fine, don't worry." The man's voice was steady and powerful.

"But what about next time?"

The whole room fell into silence.

Chen Fan sighed softly.

Despite this, the days of having no food to eat are very hard, and many people don’t even have a place to live. In those cities, let alone whether people are willing to take you in, just the dangers in the middle, ordinary people don’t have enough lives.

Strength, only strong strength can survive.

He closed his eyes, and a thought came to his mind. Something similar to the character attribute panel in the game appeared in his mind, which was extremely real.

Realm: None

Level: 1 (0/1)

Constitution: 8 (the average value of adult men is 10 points, the same below)

Strength: 7

Agility: 7

Spirit: 5

Skills: None

Potential points: 1 (1 point/1 day)

In addition, there is a big plus sign behind the level, which is particularly conspicuous.

And this plus sign was not there an hour ago. He crossed over last night, and it has been about 25 hours tonight.

When the data panel first appeared, he thought it was his own illusion. It was not until he confirmed it again and again that he finally confirmed that it was his system that had arrived.

This plus sign should consume potential value.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, and his heart moved. He saw that the plus sign behind him seemed to be pressed by someone. Then, a strong heat flowed out from his heart and flowed to every corner of his body.

"Click, click."

A subtle sound came from all parts of his body, and there was an indescribable sense of openness.

"Is this strengthening my body?"

Chen Fan thought of this, and he clearly felt that the power in his body had become stronger.

After a few seconds, the heat flow dissipated. If it weren't for the sweat flowing from his body, which wet his clothes, he would have doubted whether it was his illusion just now.

Clenching his fists, he did feel a sense of abundant power, which he had not felt before.

"By the way, system!"

He looked hurriedly, and the attributes had indeed changed.

Realm: None

Level: 2 (0/2)

Constitution: 8.8

Strength: 7.7

Agility: 7.7

Spirit: 5.5

Skills: None

Potential Points: 0 (1 point/1 day)

"!!!"

His eyes lit up, and he saw that all four attributes had increased by about 10%, barely reaching the standard of an adult man.

No wonder he felt stronger.

He became more and more excited, and felt that there was a glimmer of hope for his future life. Unfortunately, the potential points became 0 again, and the others did not change.

"It seems that it will take another day to get a little more experience points."

Chen Fan sighed, and the plus sign after the level disappeared, and the original 0/1 also became 0/2.

"It seems that if you want to continue to improve 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. It's a luxury to live another day."

Chen Fan said to himself that there was not much time left for him.

His eyes slowly moved down and landed on the skill column, which was empty.

So, is this a reminder to myself to learn martial arts skills?

However, I haven't heard of anyone in this earthen castle who knows Kung Fu? He himself did remember a few moves of Tai Chi, but he learned them while he was studying. He did them carelessly, but he had long forgotten them after entering the society.

Besides, even if there is Tai Chi, in this place where medicine is lacking, you can't fight with ferocious beasts. Otherwise, if you are injured, you can only heal yourself. If you are injured too seriously, you can only wait for death.

If you want to learn, it is best to learn archery. The next best thing is to learn long-handled weapons such as iron spears and sticks. Each inch is longer and the other is stronger. Finally, there are swords.

"Try tomorrow."

Chen Fan quickly made the decision to learn archery.

There were not many iron weapons in the earthen fort, and iron bows were probably even more scarce, because only two or three of my father and his friends were equipped with longbows, while the others used melee weapons such as spears and shields.

As for guns? It was a valuable commodity. Killing low-level ferocious beasts was like a joke, so the price was frighteningly expensive!

But it doesn't matter, he can first use wood, combined with broken bow strings, or sinews of fierce beasts, 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 still learn to defend yourself and go out hunting with a hunting team in the future. After all, relying on others is not the answer and you have to support yourself.

Otherwise, you will not be able to survive in this cruel world.

As Chen Fan thought about it, he gradually felt sleepy and fell asleep. It was not until early in the morning that he was awakened by a scream coming from outside.
