Zhao Zheng has definitely played with drones, and he's quite good at it.
After becoming wealthy, he owned twenty or thirty drones of various types and functions.
There are even custom-made versions, the kind that can take people flying.
Dakang has no satellites or GPS, so many advanced functions of the drone cannot be used, such as automatic hovering.
But it has a gesture mode and digital image transmission.
It can be used even without a signal.
Zhao Zheng didn't need it to have too many complicated functions; he only needed to check if there were any gains in the pit.
Zhao was carefully maneuvering the drone outside the forest.
A few minutes later, we arrived at the location of the pit.
The process of shooting and uploading the photos was completed in one go.
The trap that had been hiding the entrance to the hole was now clearly visible on the remote control screen.
"The trap was indeed triggered!"
Zhao Zheng was overjoyed!
However, the drone was too high to capture the situation inside the cave.
He controlled the drone as it descended.
The drone in attitude mode is wobbly and very unstable.
Suddenly, a mountain breeze blew by, and the video stopped.
Zhao Zheng is in a bind!
That cost 2400 coins!
Fortunately, the drone transmitted the footage back just a second before it crashed.
Zhao Zheng enlarged the image.
His eyes widened immediately. "Holy crap, there's a patterned animal in the cave..."
Immediately, he began to tremble with excitement.
He put away the remote control, picked up the steel fork, and ran towards the pit.
Before we even got close, a deep roar came from inside the cave.
Suddenly, Zhao Zheng slowed his pace, his throat tightened, and his palms, gripping the steel fork, began to sweat.
Reaching the edge of the cave entrance, I peered down and saw a large cat with the character '王' (king) on its forehead.
The moment his eyes met the fierce, menacing gaze, Zhao Zheng felt a sudden pang of panic.
"Haha, I knew it, I knew it!"
Zhao Zheng's eyes widened in delight. "No wonder the tiger roared for no reason! It had fallen into my trap..."
Zhao Zheng carefully observed the tiger in the pit. Although the wooden stake stuck in the ground had not killed it, it had injured the tiger and rendered it unable to jump.
Judging from the wound, it must have been there for two or three days.
"In other words, it was really behind me when I was cutting down the tree, but I had a weapon in my hand, and it sensed the danger, so it was attracted by the meat in the trap!"
"If it were bolder and pounced silently from behind, then I..."
A picture flashed through Zhao Zheng's mind of a tiger suddenly pouncing from behind and biting off his neck. He swallowed hard.
Aww~
The tiger bared its teeth at Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng was delighted. Without saying a word, he took out his bow and arrows and fired two arrows at it.
The already injured tiger soon collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
But Zhao Zheng was cautious and hurled the steel fork in his hand down hard.
The steel fork pierced the tiger's flesh, but the tiger remained motionless. Zhao Zhengcai then confirmed that it was dead.
Without delay, Zhao Zheng hurriedly entered the pit, first retrieved the crashed drone, and then put the dead tiger into the warehouse.
The system warehouse can only accept inanimate items, not live items.
After succeeding, Zhao Zheng wanted to set another trap, but the cave was filled with the scent of tigers, and not only their own kind, but other animals dared not approach.
Therefore, this trap is now useless.
After quickly leaving the forest, Zhao Zheng plopped down on the ground, exhausted, and then burst into laughter, "Today, I've made a killing!"
Five small animals, a 200-pound wild boar, and a tiger.
Even when Yao Yingxiong led two hundred men into the mountains, they failed to hunt the tiger.
Who else?!
Zhao Zheng thought for a moment, then released the tiger and began to bleed and skin it.
[Ding! Wild tiger, 1000 coins per jin, valued at 500,000. Storing/selling?]
As expected of a mountain king!
One is worth 500 taels!
Zhao Zhengxian prepared a large jar and filled it with tiger blood, thinking that soaking it in alcohol would be very nutritious.
[Ding! Wild tiger tooth (canine tooth), 50,000 coins per tooth, total value 200,000 coins. Store/sell?]
"Store!"
[Ding! Wild tiger whiskers, 200 coins per whisker, worth 2500 coins...]
[Ding! Wild tiger skin, 95% new, valued at 450,000 coins...]
As the notification sound rang out, Zhao Zheng gasped, then cursed angrily, "What a rip-off! Selling the whole thing isn't expensive, but selling it separately is? Why learn from car companies?"
Based on this calculation, the value of a tiger exceeds 1,000 taels of silver.
Tiger Blue Purple alone is worth 50,000 coins.
Tiger skin is the most expensive, costing 450,000 coins.
Including tiger bones and other valuables, the total value exceeded 1,100 taels.
"Tiger blue and purple, tiger blood, tiger bones, tiger skin, tiger eyes, all must be kept!"
"Forget it, tigers are treasures from head to toe, I'll keep them all for myself."
Money can be earned slowly, but tigers are not always available.
Wild boar meat wasn't very tasty; it had a strong gamey smell. Except for the wild boar's stomach, I sold everything else and got 7 taels of silver, which was alright.
Looking at the steaming hot tiger blood, Zhao Zheng thought of its effects, pinched his nose, and took a sip.
Then... he stood up as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
On the way home, I didn't feel cold or tired, as if I were on drugs.
As he approached the village, he let out a long sigh. "No wonder people say tigers are pure yang in nature. They're so powerful with just one sip of blood. If I slowly devour this tiger, I can make up for all my congenital deficiencies later on, right?"
This time, Zhao Zheng took out a hundred pounds of firewood from the warehouse, and surprisingly, he didn't feel the weight when he carried it.
"Uncle Zhao is back!" Liu Tieniu rushed over to help.
Yan Dali, who was building adobe bricks in the corner, was a step behind and slapped his thigh in anger. That Liu Tieniu, he really knows how to flatter, he can always be one step ahead of me.
"Uncle, let me handle the woodcutting from now on. You are the boss, how can I let you do such rough work?" Liu Tieniu said.
Zhao Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "You're getting better and better, kid. I had some good luck on the mountain today and caught a wild rabbit and a pheasant. I'll share some meat with you tonight!"
Liu Tieniu's eyes widened. "Wild rabbit? Pheasant?"
Yan Dali also swallowed hard and craned his neck.
Zhao Zheng pulled out the large, fat rabbit and pheasant that had been under the firewood and handed them to Liu Tieniu, saying, "Stop making mud bricks, kill these two and skin them!"
"Yes, Uncle Zhao!" How long has it been since Liu Tieniu has eaten meat?
He can't remember anymore.
He had only worked for the Zhao family for a few days.
They actually managed to get some meat in the meal.
Wild rabbits and pheasants are highly nutritious wild game!
Yan Dali was also excited.
With such plump game, will he get a couple of pieces of meat tonight?
Wu Yueying and Zhang Xiao'e came out when they heard the commotion.
Upon learning that Zhao Zhengshan had caught a large, fat rabbit and a large, fat pheasant while chopping firewood on the mountain, Zhang Xiao'e was happy but also relatively calm.
But Wu Yueying couldn't help it; she trembled with excitement, "Uncle Zhao is amazing!"
Hua Hua and Xiao Cao clapped their hands and exclaimed, "Oh, we'll have meat tonight!"
Zhao Zheng patted the two little girls on the head and said to the older one, Hua Hua, "Take your sister to the back and invite the Zhou family ancestors down to eat meat!"
