Chapter 1: Ranger Hunter

Beep~ Beep~

The light green signal light on the door handle flashes.

The iron door with a little rust was pushed open from the outside.

The cold wind of late autumn rushed into the patrol hunter's watchtower.

"It seems that I have to buy furniture as soon as possible, otherwise this winter will be hard to endure."

Yu Ke, carrying a bag, stood at the door, looking at the empty room in front of him, and whispered to himself helplessly.

This is the patrol hunter's watchtower outside the Jinghu Forest, and it is also the base for Yu Ke's future life.

If luck is bad.

This watchtower will also become his tomb or the first death scene.

Since the successful application for the patrol hunter, Yu Ke has received care from relatives and friends at home, fearing that he would be upset.

However, as a time traveler, compared to staying in a strange city, facing those people who look very warm but actually don't know anyone all day, racking his brains to get along with them, Yu Ke only feels that being alone is more free.

Besides, in this chaotic world, cities are not necessarily safe.

About five years ago, the environment around the world began to change, and eventually developed into a catastrophic event that swept the world.

At first, it was just a rare meteor shower, a group of mice that mutated into the size of calves, and a storm in the deep sea, until these disasters connected from dots to pieces, and finally swept the world, and were closely related to everyone!

The natural world gradually became unfamiliar, and the special era called "the great catastrophe" has arrived!

The dense forest composed of trees that grew hundreds of meters high in half a month buried the entire town; thousands of wasps that were close to the size of large domestic dogs built nests on the top of the building; the overlord octopus like a mountain overturned the freighter, and hundreds of sailors became snacks; the rhino like a truck crushed the fence of the zoo and knocked over the riot control vehicle that came to intercept

Such events occupied the front page of the world news until the people got used to it.

That's right, it's not that the disaster ended with the passage of time, but that it happened too frequently so that no one found it strange anymore.

In his previous life, his family was submerged by a sudden mountain torrent, which made it possible for Yu Ke, a visitor from another world, to successfully travel through time.

To be honest, Yu Ke was not happy about his travel through time.

In his previous life, he had a happy family, and even if his job was average, it was enough to support his family, at least he could live a peaceful life.

On the other hand, this world is clearly heading towards an unprecedented natural disaster, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the end of the world is approaching.

In the face of global environmental disasters, the disasters and survival pressures that ordinary people will face are unimaginable.

Before traveling through time, he was happy and perfect, but after traveling through time, he could die in a disaster at any time.

What is the purpose of this travel through time?

At least he should ask for the opinion of the traveler, right?

Fortunately, Yu Ke did not travel through time naked.

After closing the door and walking into the house, Yu Ke sat directly on the edge of the simple wooden bed in the corner. He glanced at the communication device and desk placed against the wall on the other side, and calmed down. Two occupation labels suddenly appeared in front of him:

Forest Ranger (70% blue, 30% white), Teacher (light blue)!

When Yu Ke first crossed over to this world, he accidentally discovered this "ability" that came with him.

After a period of exploration, Yu Ke called it the "occupational label system".

In simple terms, this system will generate a label based on his occupation.

Of course, this alone is meaningless.

What really makes Yu Ke care is that this label can be upgraded and provide him with special abilities.

For example, the teacher label he got at first.

After crossing over, because he had no idea about the situation of his previous life, Yu Ke decided to apply for resignation and rest for a while on the grounds that his parents had passed away, avoiding his previous friends who might find something unusual.

However, when Yu Ke was handing over his work as a teacher, he noticed that as long as he did things that were in line with his teacher's identity, his label would be stained with strands of light blue light.

When these light blue lights completely filled the label, he immediately gained his first ability, or trait.

[Broad Knowledge and Strong Memory]

This feature allows Yu Ke to achieve twice the result with half the effort when learning knowledge or skills in any field. In game terms, it is an experience acquisition rate +50%.

It was precisely with this trait that Yu Ke successfully completed a series of assessments for the ranger hunter in the six months after crossing, including but not limited to physical fitness assessment, hunting skills, natural science, wilderness survival, and first aid.

When he successfully obtained the certificate of completion, the new profession of ranger hunter appeared in his professional label system.

At this time, Yu Ke had already figured out how this system worked.

He had thought about simply taking on more professions, so that he could continue to gain various traits as long as he upgraded.

However, the reality is far from that easy.

If you want to upgrade your label and gain traits, the most important thing is to do things that match your professional label.

The problem is that a person doesn’t have that much time!

It is impossible for Yu Ke to be a bricklayer or a welder while being a teacher.

If he did so, it would only make it extremely difficult to upgrade all three professions.

Unless there are special channels to accelerate the acquisition of additional experience, Yu Ke still understands the principle of biting off more than he can chew.

In fact, in order to obtain the profession of ranger hunter, Yu Ke's teacher label has not been upgraded in the past six months because he has resigned from the school.

As for why he did this after discovering the professional label system.

The reason is very simple. Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that the world has become extremely turbulent in recent years, and the deterioration of the environment has shown no signs of stopping.

It can be said that it is appropriate to call this era "the great catastrophe".

In this case, only strength is the key to determine the future.

As a time traveler, Yu Ke is not interested in handing his safety to others, and he doesn't want to deal with those "familiar" strangers.

At present, his goal is very simple, to strengthen himself as much as possible, so that he can live comfortably in the future!

It would be best to make more money so that I can enjoy myself when I return to Danhang City.

Based on this, the forest ranger hunter is Yu Ke's choice after careful consideration.

On the one hand, this profession is different from other hunter professions that were born due to the particularity of the disaster era.

The forest ranger hunter is a formal official organization.

Most of Yu Ke's work content is to monitor the environmental changes in the Jinghu forest area in real time, including the changes in vegetation, lakes, and wild animals and report them on time. Occasionally, he needs to cooperate with government staff to carry out some field surveys and hunting tasks.

In other words, as long as Yu Ke works step by step, the forest ranger hunter occupation label will continue to grow experience, be extremely efficient, and be able to be upgraded soon. The label that is close to eight-point blue at this stage is the most intuitive manifestation.

On the other hand, the "treasure hunter" and "monster hunter" that are popular nowadays and are touted by all kinds of people.

It seems that they are very beautiful outside, attracting ordinary people to follow suit.

In fact, these professions that are not officially recognized have no guarantees, and the casualty rate when they are outside is extremely high.

Not only is it difficult to get recognition from the occupational label system, most people who engage in this profession even have problems maintaining basic food and clothing. Only a few strong people or hunting groups can rely on actions in the wilderness to get rich rewards.

On the other hand, it is because the environment inside and outside the city, or the whole world, is very dangerous now.

The job of forest ranger hunter is not only very well paid, but also equipped with a gun license and related weapons and equipment, which makes it easy and reasonable for Yu Ke to get access to weapons that can better protect himself in the future and exercise corresponding skills.

More importantly, with weapons, Yu Ke can start his own hunting activities.

The reason why the forest ranger hunter has the suffix "hunter" is because he has to undertake hunting tasks in his work.

Once a strange beast on the hunting list that may pose a threat to humans is found in the Mirror Lake Forest, Yu Ke can exchange it for government bounties and equipment by hunting it, and at the same time accumulate occupational label experience faster.

Considering the trait [Knowledgeable and Memoryful] that the teacher profession brings to Yu Ke, he has reason to believe that once the first upgrade of the forest ranger hunter profession is completed, the combat trait will be generated, which is exactly what he lacks now.

While there is still some time before dusk, Yu Ke plans to clean up the sentry tower, check the situation in various parts of the room, plan the next life, and prepare to go hunting before dusk, at least to get meat for dinner.

The 70-square-meter room is simply divided into two areas:

The bedroom, kitchen and studio are located in the same area, which is a three-in-one with the largest area. Unfortunately, some basic equipment is missing. The bedroom only has the most basic wooden bed and a set of military green bedding, nothing else, and the kitchen only has a gas stove and a small number of pots and pans.

Fortunately, the studio is normal and is set up in a corner of the room. In order to ensure that the General Administration can receive the news as soon as possible, it is also equipped with a complete set of network communication equipment and a computer with quite good configuration.

In the future, there will be no worries about having nothing to kill time when bored.

The independent bathroom includes a toilet and a washroom, with a washing machine and a solar water heater. These devices are connected to the well and diesel generator in the camp below the sentry tower, which is enough to ensure his daily life.

The storage room and the weapon storage are in the same single room, with the smallest area of ​​about five square meters.

When Yu Ke checked, he found that in addition to a few work clothes and gun repair equipment, there were also some farm tools such as hoes, sickles, and kettles, and a few bags of seeds in the corners.

This was a pleasant surprise for Yu Ke.

Although it is late autumn now, he has begun to imagine the farming life in the spring of next year.

After the initial cleaning, Yu Ke first sorted out a list of his missing items, used the studio computer to log on to the online mall to buy them one by one, and then set the delivery point to a transfer station a few kilometers away, and then pick them up at one time.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to set it up directly on the sentry tower, but it is surrounded by forests nearby and belongs to a place outside the distribution area.

After doing all this, Yu Ke walked out of the sentry tower with a cup of freshly brewed hot milk tea.

Looking around, all you can see is a forest of towering trees over a hundred meters high. However, because it is late autumn, most of the trees have begun to shed their leaves. Looking down at the woodland not far away, it is covered with withered yellow leaves.

The sky is dim, gray and white clouds are piled up, and the cold wind is blowing and beating the branches and leaves.

Such a gloomy environment makes Yu Ke feel relaxed.

At least in this sentry tower camp, he doesn't have to force himself to face those completely unfamiliar people and things.

Looking down at the bottom of the sentry tower house.

The entire sentry tower is divided into two parts, upper and lower.

Yu Ke's residence is located on an iron frame nearly six meters above the ground. There is a circular staircase in the center of the extremely solid iron frame for up and down passage, and there is also a rope descent channel outside for emergency use.

This kind of building design is to prevent the invasion of wild beasts or fierce beasts, while ensuring the vision of forest rangers.

Jinghu Forest is the largest biological settlement outside Suzhou and Hangzhou. So far, a large number of ferocious beasts have been discovered. A year ago, there was even a beast tide. If a ranger hunter wants to work in such a place, the first thing he needs to do is to protect himself.

The lower part is the base camp of the sentry tower.

The area is about 380 square meters. The outer perimeter is built with reinforced concrete and high-rise wire mesh. Inside, a small parking lot, a small power station, a large material storage point, a small workshop for processing prey, a well and a small piece of farmland are planned.

In general, such a sentry station is a completely self-sufficient independent world. This is also an important reason why Yu Ke values ​​the profession of ranger hunter. He wants to use a brand new living environment to get rid of the loss caused by crossing.

Climbing down the stairs of the sentry tower with his hands and feet, Yu Ke roughly checked the situation in various places in the bottom camp.

His predecessor left a lot of tools for him before leaving. With a little tidying up, the operation of each area can be restored.

But before that, he has to solve the food for tonight.

He was tired of the compressed biscuits and energy bars distributed by the General Administration in his backpack. He finally left the city where material control was becoming increasingly strict and meat prices were soaring and came to Jinghu Forest. Of course, he wanted to eat meat with his stomach open.

When he came to the off-road vehicle assigned by the Forest Defense Bureau, Yu Ke looked at the hunting equipment placed on the co-pilot.

He turned around and looked at the sun in the sky.

Before sunset.

He was about to start his first hunt!
