Chapter 180: Chapter 177: Killing Chickens in ”Hot-Blooded Legend

Hearing the system’s words, Li You’s eyes lit up.

Just as he thought, he was going to kill monster chickens.

What made him even more pleasantly surprised was that besides getting raw chicken feet, he could also get whole chickens.

’With whole chickens, can’t I introduce braised chicken now?’

This was a pleasant surprise.

’Even though it’s only for five hours, that’s enough.’

At this moment, a person with the name ”Me Embracing You” floating over their head ran up to Li You and stood still.

This was obviously a player-controlled character.

’There are other player-controlled characters in here, too. That makes things more interesting.’

’Hm, wait... If that’s the case, don’t I have to compete with other players for monsters?’

’This is not a good thing!’

He only had five hours. If too many people were competing for monsters and he couldn’t kill many chickens, then he’d be in trouble.

’But, this will make it more interesting.’

’There are pros and cons, I guess.’

But no matter what, Li You decided not to delay any longer.

He was going to kill some chickens.

Just then, the person who had just run over ran off again.

Li You quickly headed out of the village.

As he walked, he opened the Storage Pavilion and equipped all his gear.

’If I’m going to kill monsters, I should definitely be wearing my gear.’

In ”The Legend of Mir 2,” there were three classes: Warrior, Mage, and Daoist. Li You felt that he was equivalent to the Warrior class.

’This class is pretty good. All I have to do is grab a weapon and just mindlessly hack away.’

Along the way, Li You encountered more and more players.

This made him worry that he wouldn’t get to kill many chickens, yet he also found the experience incredibly strange and exciting.

Soon, a chicken appeared in his line of sight.

It looked just like the monster chickens he remembered from ”The Legend of Mir 2.”

At the same time, the chicken’s stats were displayed.

”Monster: Chicken

Qi and Blood: 10

Attack: 2

Defense: 2

Agility: 5.”

’It’s so weak!’

With these stats, Li You could kill it in one strike.

As for Li You’s stats:

”Qi and Blood: 550

Attack: 16

Defense: 32

Agility: 14.”

Every single one of his stats was overwhelmingly superior. It would be an effortless one-shot kill.

Li You burst out laughing and charged toward the chicken.

However, a player closer to the chicken charged over first.

Someone beat him to it.

Li You was disappointed. But no matter, he just had to keep searching for the next target.

’If only a chicken would spawn right next to me.’

As luck would have it, one did.

A chicken suddenly materialized out of thin air less than two meters away from him.

Overjoyed, Li You swung his sword and cut it down in a single motion.

As expected, the chicken was instantly killed.

”Item Drop: Raw Chicken Feet (50)

Quality: Superior.”

”Item Drop: Whole Chicken (10)

Quality: Superior.”

Hearing this notification, Li You blurted out, ”Holy shit!”

’Killing one chicken dropped 50 raw chicken feet and 10 whole chickens, all of them superior quality!’

’How awesome is this?’

’At this rate, getting tens of thousands of chicken feet and thousands of whole chickens in five hours should be a piece of cake.’

’Looks like it’s going to be a bountiful harvest!’

Li You was pleasantly surprised and felt even more motivated.

He went on with the chicken hunt.

Soon, Li You found another chicken and successfully claimed the kill.

This time, the drop was even better: 100 raw chicken feet and 20 whole chickens, once again all of superior quality.

’A jackpot! Today is definitely going to be a huge haul!’

At this moment, a deer appeared not far away.

’Seeing the deer, I can’t help but wonder... if I kill it, will I get venison?’

The moment he had the thought, the system provided an answer: ”You can. It can also be brought back to the real world.”

Li You’s eyes lit up. So he really could.

’However, people don’t seem to eat venison very often. It’s not a common type of meat.’

’Besides, you can’t eat wild venison, only farmed.’

’So, I’d better forget it. I don’t need the venison.’

’I’ll just keep hunting chickens.’

Soon, another chicken appeared. But unfortunately, another player got to it first.

He kept searching.

This time he encountered a Multi-hooked Cat.

If he killed this Multi-hooked Cat, he could get cat meat.

’But forget cat meat. Almost nobody eats cat meat.’

’And of course, I don’t have any recipes for cat meat.’

So, he couldn’t be bothered to kill this Multi-hooked Cat.

’Better just to keep killing chickens.’

Just like that, time passed bit by bit.

「Two hours later」

Li You had successfully killed over a hundred chickens, obtaining over 8,000 raw chicken feet and more than 1,500 whole chickens.

His haul was already massive, and he still had nearly three hours left.

’This feels incredible!’

It wasn’t just getting so many raw chicken feet and whole chickens that felt great; Li You was also having a blast competing for kills with the other players.

Before, he had always been at his computer, controlling a character to compete for kills with other players. But now, he was personally inside the game world, competing against them. The feeling was magical, wonderful, and incredibly thrilling.

’This is so much more satisfying than those monster-killing dungeons I did before.’

’I hope I get to enter more game dungeons like this in the future.’

’Besides ”The Legend of Mir 2,” there are plenty of other classic games.’

’Games like World of Warcraft, Fantasy Westward Journey, Westward Journey Online, Scions of Fate, and Sword Spirit... they’re all classics.’

’I could probably enter those games, too.’

’There should be lots of ingredients I need in those game worlds.’

As Li You thought this, time continued to pass bit by bit.

Before he knew it, five hours had passed.

”The current game instance’s five-hour duration is up. You will exit the current game instance in one minute. Host, please prepare for exit.”

’It’s time to leave already?’

Li You was reluctant to leave; he hadn’t had his fill of the fun yet.

’But there’s nothing I can do about it. I’ll just have to see if I get a chance to come back again.’

He took a look at his haul.

23,589 raw chicken feet, 3,245 whole chickens.

This haul was massive, much bigger than Li You had anticipated.

Seeing such a massive haul, Li You felt another surge of excitement.

’With this many raw chicken feet, I should have enough to sell for at least a month, right?’

’And all these whole chickens. Besides selling them as braised chicken, they’d be perfect for making other dishes, too.’

’Even though I don’t have the recipes yet, at least my family and I can eat them.’

This trip into the world of ”The Legend of Mir 2” was both thrilling and hugely rewarding.

Li You was extremely satisfied.

At this moment, the one-minute countdown ended.

Li You exited the world of ”The Legend of Mir 2” and returned to the real world.

「In the restaurant’s main hall.」

Chu Yiwei and Lin Xin were both still savoring the braised chicken feet in their hands.

The same went for the other customers, of course.

As they ate, they continued to talk, expressing their belief that Li You could grant them ”braised chicken feet freedom.”

Li You smiled faintly when he heard them.

’Now, I really can grant everyone their ”braised chicken feet freedom.”’

’For at least a month, anyway.’

Only a second had passed in the real world, but he had already spent five hours competing for monsters with a crowd of players in the world of ”The Legend of Mir 2.”

’Truly unbelievable, and it felt absolutely amazing!’
