Chapter 3 I Am Now Extremely Strong

Ding Yi rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then took off a small piece of wood from the bed, broke it into two halves, and stacked them together in a cross pattern.

Then Ding Yi tore up a small piece of bed sheet, twisted it into a rope, and tied it to both ends of the horizontal board.

Finally, Ding Yi tore off a few more slender wooden strips from the board, put them together with the gadgets he had just made, and tried his best to arrange them into a crossbow.

Finally, Ding Yi thought for a while and carved the word "organ" on the wooden board with his nails. Then he looked nervously at the simple thing he had made to see if the strengthening prompt could still appear.

This time, the enhanced system did not disappoint Ding Yi. The next moment, a familiar reminder suddenly appeared in Ding Yi's sight.

[It can be strengthened by consuming lifespan. This enhancement consumes 30 days of lifespan. Do you want to strengthen it? 】

"Damn it! It's really possible! But why did your life span expire so much all at once?"

Ding Yi waved his fist excitedly, but at the same time he fell into thinking.

"Currently I can only speculate that the things I made are too crude, thus increasing the cost of strengthening. I can only verify it later if I have the opportunity."

Ding Yi thought about it in his heart, and then chose yes.

[Enhancement successful, remaining life span: 8 years and 2 days]

The next moment, the simple crossbow placed on the ground was instantly enveloped by a ray of light. After a breath, the light gradually dissipated, revealing an object with a very different shape.

【Exquisite machine crossbow】

[The mechanical crossbow made of fine iron, equipped with a thin traction wire and poison-quenched arrows, is really a weapon for killing people and stealing goods! 】

Seeing the exquisitely designed thing in front of him, which exuded the aura of high-end goods, Ding Yi immediately looked overjoyed and quickly walked up to it despite the pain in his legs.

"It even has a thin traction wire. It is indeed a mechanical crossbow."

Ding Yi stroked the cold killing machine on the ground, feeling extremely excited. This enhancement could actually materialize what he wanted. It was simply the best of all, the father of fathers!

Thinking of this, Ding Yi quickly picked up the mechanical crossbow on the ground and hid it under the bed.

Although this location under the bed is not very hidden, what Ding Yi wants is just to create a momentary opportunity. Besides, there is no better place to put such a conspicuous thing.

"Okay, okay! Now, let me see how you play!"

A smile appeared on Ding Yi's lips, and then he took off a piece of wood again and made another mechanical crossbow according to the process just now.

Perhaps due to experience, the lifespan consumed by this enhancement was actually reduced by 1 day, and the enhancement was completed in only 29 days, which surprised Ding Yi.

In just a few minutes, Ding Yi made two mechanical crossbows. Although it took 2 months of his life, he had never felt such a sense of security at this moment.

"Not enough, not enough."

Ding Yi looked at the mechanical crossbow covered by the sheets under the bed, muttering to himself, then looked around the room, and finally landed on the ground at the door.

After thinking briefly, Ding Yi broke off another wooden board, then walked to the door, bent down and started digging up soil with the wooden board.

Fortunately, the old couple was very poor, and they didn't even have floor tiles in the room. They used black earth, focusing on pure nature.

So after a while, Ding Yi dug a small shallow hole with wooden boards in front of the door. Then Ding Yi tore off a lot of wooden strips from the wooden block in his hand and inserted them into the hole. Finally, he tore them from the sheets. He took a small piece and covered it over the shallow pit.

A trap that couldn't be simpler and only has symbolic meaning can be done like this.

"Okay, okay, let's see if this can be strengthened."

Ding Yi stared at the potholes on the ground. Sure enough, after taking a breath, the reinforcement prompt appeared again.

[It can be strengthened by consuming lifespan. This enhancement consumes 60 days of lifespan. Do you want to strengthen it? 】

"Now I realize that I am terribly strong!"

Ding Yi felt happy and directly chose yes.

[Enhancement successful, remaining lifespan: 7 years, October 7, 2019]

The next moment, a light flashed in front of Ding Yi's eyes. When the light dissipated, the eye-catching homemade trap in front of the door disappeared, but was replaced by a flat ground.

【Exquisite Trap】

[An experienced hunter must know how to make traps. Obviously, the trap in front of me was created by a hunter who is proficient in this art. If you believe in it, no prey will be able to escape from its cage! ! 】

"Idiot!"

Ding Yi looked at the flat ground in front of him and couldn't believe that there was a trap here, and there was an even more terrifying murder weapon under the trap.

Thinking of what would happen if someone rushed in rashly and fell into this trap, Ding Yidang felt a chill on his crotch and couldn't help but tighten his legs.

"Okay, okay, it's safe now."

Ding Yi looked around the small room with satisfaction, then climbed onto the bed and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sound of shaking iron chains outside the gate, and then the familiar whistling sound of Old Man Wei reached Ding Yi's ears.

Such violent breathing could tell what Old Man Wei must have experienced while out this time, which made Ding Yi a little curious.

What on earth were these two people doing out there?

"Brother Ding?"

As soon as Old Man Wei entered the room, he shouted towards the inner room, and then Ding Yi's voice came:

"Is Mr. Wei back?"

"Yes, Brother Ding."

Hearing Ding Yi's response, Old Man Wei suddenly showed a relaxed expression on his face.

The old woman next to her seemed a little anxious. She glanced at the hatchet placed in the corner and wanted to walk over.

But Old Man Wei grabbed the old woman and whispered:

"If the meat is not fresh, the price given by the Taoist Temple will be discounted tonight."

The old woman nodded numbly after hearing this, and then walked into the kitchen next to her with the things she just brought back.

In a blink of an eye, the sky was getting dark, and the light coming from the window gradually took on a strange black color. Old Man Wei quickly stood up and came to the window, putting down the baffle as usual.

"We don't have enough blood candles. Fortunately, we can replace a lot this time."

The old woman noticed the movement here and whispered.

"Shhh."

Old Man Wei glared at the old woman fiercely, then looked at the door of the room where Ding Yi was, and then said after finding that there was no movement:

"This kid hasn't been out for a day. I'm worried that he already knows something."

"Hey, a mouse that can jump is valuable."

The old woman didn't take it seriously after hearing this. Instead, she showed her dry yellow teeth and laughed.

"Put some medicine tonight."

Old Man Wei took out a small bag of things from somewhere and threw it to the old woman, saying.

"No, I'm still going to eat some. It's rare to see such fresh and tender flesh."

The old woman laughed strangely, shook her head and said.

"Hehe, too."

Old Man Wei also laughed, and then both of them were silent. Only the oil lamp on the table gave off an oppressive dark red light.

At night, Ding Yi, who had been lying quietly on the bed, suddenly seemed to notice something, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Yes, that disgusting breathing sound reappeared.

"Damn it, it's endless!"

In the darkness, Ding Yi clenched his fists tightly, then slowly turned around, staring in the direction of the wooden door.

Under the weak moonlight, Ding Yi's eyes were full of nervousness, but mixed with a hint of madness and expectation.
