Chapter 2: Grandmaster Archery

Dajian, dinner is ready. Warm up a bit and then come inside to eat.

Lin Wanru’s voice pulled Zhang Dajian back to reality from his fantasy.

He responded, following Lin Wanru into the house, and silently chanted in his mind: “Confirm binding.”

“Ding! Binding Lin Wanru successful!”

“Lin Wanru’s current Affection Value: 50!”

A series of mechanical sounds rang out in Zhang Dajian’s mind.

He grinned foolishly. So everything written in novels was true. After transmigrating, one was bound to get a golden finger, and today, his golden finger had finally arrived.

Moreover, this Affection System sounded incredibly powerful, and it was probably related to various beautiful women.

It perfectly aligned with his ideals. Having come to this chaotic and famine-stricken world, he couldn’t have come for nothing. He definitely had to conquer all sorts of beautiful women and eventually reach the pinnacle of life.

All the beautiful aunts, ladies, and young girls of Qingluan Country, wait for me to dote on you!

Zhang Dajian was so excited that he almost laughed out loud.

Lin Wanru gently pushed a bowl of wild vegetable and tree bark soup in front of him: “Drink it while it’s hot. If it gets cold, you’ll get diarrhea again.”

Zhang Dajian nodded, picked up the bowl, and tilted his head back, taking a large gulp.

“Pfft…”

As soon as it reached his mouth, he spat out all the wild vegetable soup.

“Is this even something a human can eat?” Zhang Dajian frowned.

Seeing his disgusted expression, Lin Wanru hastily explained: “Dajian, our grain jar is empty. These wild vegetables and tree bark are all the food we could find.”

“How can this be?”

Zhang Dajian looked at Lin Wanru with a pained expression: “Wanru, if you keep eating this stuff, your body will break down.”

Lin Wanru’s eyes immediately reddened, and she looked at Zhang Dajian with gratitude.

At the same time, a system notification sound rang in Zhang Dajian’s mind:

“Lin Wanru’s Affection Value +5, current Affection Value: 55.”

Zhang Dajian raised an eyebrow. It seemed gaining Affection Value was quite simple.

He leaned closer, grabbed Lin Wanru’s hand, and looked at her seriously:

“Wanru, don’t worry. Although Dashan is gone, it’s okay. I will be your support from now on.”

“Lin Wanru’s Affection Value +5, current Affection Value: 60!”

Zhang Dajian was overjoyed. It actually increased by another 5 points. If he said heartwarming words all day, wouldn’t it instantly reach max level?

Lin Wanru’s face flushed crimson from having her hand held.

Even though she had spoken quite boldly to Zhang Dajian before, that was only due to the urgency of the situation. She had never truly considered anything further with him.

Unexpectedly, he was even bolder than her, directly holding her hand.

Lin Wanru’s cheeks were scarlet, and she hastily withdrew her hand: “Your words are enough for me. Hurry and eat, before it gets cold.”

Zhang Dajian, as if possessed by an actor, heard this and immediately picked up Lin Wanru’s coarse porcelain bowl, pouring all the wild vegetable soup into the yard.

“What are you doing?” Lin Wanru was dumbfounded.

Zhang Dajian turned his head, his expression solemn: “Wanru, since I’ve become your support, how could I let you eat this garbage? Don’t worry, before dark, I will make sure you eat meat.”

Lin Wanru felt a bit annoyed: “You, you can’t dig wild vegetables, you can’t farm, and you can’t hunt. How will you get me meat? What kind of meat will you get me?”

“Lin Wanru’s Affection Value -5, current Affection Value: 55!”

Zhang Dajian’s face stiffened, and he forced himself to pat his chest calmly: “Wanru, just put your heart at ease. I have my ways.”

With that, he turned and went back to his own room.

As soon as he entered the door, his face fell. Oh no, oh no, this Affection Value could actually decrease?

Had he been too overbearing in his act? Making her not believe him?

He forced himself to calm down. The most important thing now was to get the lost Affection Value back.

The simplest way, of course, was to find a way to get meat and have a good feast.

Moreover, he was now in urgent need of meat to supplement his nutrition.

After all, he was as thin as a stick. If he didn’t gain ten or twenty pounds, his body might even develop problems.

How should this Affection System be used? How to obtain resources? How to impress beautiful women?

“System, introduce yourself!”

“System Introduction: For every twenty points of Affection Value gained, the host can get one lottery draw chance. The prizes are all-encompassing; there’s nothing you can’t imagine, and nothing the System can’t do. All are obtained randomly.”

Zhang Dajian’s eyes lit up. “So, I can draw twice now?”

“That’s right! Does the host wish to draw?”

“Draw!”

“The System is drawing. Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received one roll of toilet paper!”

Before the system’s voice even faded, a roll of Fuyingjie brand toilet paper suddenly appeared in Zhang Dajian’s hand.

Seeing the roll of paper in his hand, he was so angry he almost cursed.

“Holy crap! System, are you messing with me? The first draw you give me this? I haven’t eaten properly for days; I desperately need food! What do I need this for?!”

“Ding! Host, please don’t be angry. It was stated before that the prizes are all-encompassing; there’s nothing you can’t imagine, and nothing the System can’t do. This can only be blamed on your bad luck!”

“I #@#@#¥@#¥!@!”

Zhang Dajian ranted wildly until he was hoarse before stopping.

“Ding! Host still has one more lottery draw chance. Do you wish to continue drawing?”

“Draw!”

“The System is drawing. Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received Grandmaster-level Archery!”

Zhang Dajian’s eyes lit up. Immediately after, a massive flood of information surged into his mind.

The trajectories of countless arrows piercing the air, the control of string tension, the precise calculation of wind direction and distance—all were instantly etched into his muscle memory.

Even his body was forcibly transformed.

This feeling was profound, as if he had already practiced archery for countless days and nights.

Zhang Dajian’s heart stirred. The deceased Dashan was a hunter during his lifetime, and his bow and arrows were still at home.

Now that he had Grandmaster-level Archery, he absolutely had to go hunt some prey.

Firstly, to make Lin Wanru look at him with new eyes and increase her Affection Value. Secondly, to have a good meal, as he had been hungry for many days.

Thinking of this, he impatiently rushed out of the room and directly pushed open Lin Wanru’s door.

Amidst the steaming heat inside the room, a hazy figure appeared. Lin Wanru, taking advantage of Zhang Dajian’s absence, was actually using hot water to wash herself.

“Ah!” Lin Wanru hastily covered her private parts, both shy and angry: “Dajian, why did you come in without knocking?”

Zhang Dajian was dumbfounded. Heaven knew what Lin Wanru was thinking. In such cold weather, without even clothes, why was she washing herself??

“Still not turning around!”

Lin Wanru’s skin turned red from embarrassment.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dajian reluctantly turned around.

“Lin Wanru’s Affection Value +5, current Affection Value: 60!”

Hearing the system notification, Zhang Dajian was completely bewildered.

He accidentally saw her, yet her Affection Value increased instead? A woman’s mind truly was harder to guess than the system’s lottery.
