[Experience +1]
Such information flashed through his mind.
Immediately, the previous data in his mind changed to:
[LV.1: 1/1 (Can Upgrade)]
At the same time, above the pistol in his hand, new data appeared:
[Pistol LV.1: 0/5 (Ordinary pistol, effective range of thirty meters, normal accuracy, but prone to jamming.)]
Yang Yuan suddenly froze, then his eyes lit up: "Is this the way to use my strange golden finger?"
"Yang Yuan, it's coming!" Suddenly, Zhao Jiayan called out nervously.
The little girl, Jiang Yiyi, was throwing stones even more vigorously, fearfully driving away the giant wolf.
But the giant wolf seemed to be getting impatient, slowly approaching, already thirty meters away.
Yang Yuan didn't have time to study the golden finger and hurriedly reloaded the pistol; he still had more than twenty bullets, which should be enough to kill this giant wolf.
The magazine of this makeshift pistol could only hold six bullets.
Quickly, the bullets were reloaded, and he raised the pistol sharply.
The giant wolf, now twenty-five meters away, seemed to sense the threat and stopped again.
But it was too hungry and clearly wouldn't give up the food in front of it.
"As soon as I shoot, it will go crazy. You go the other way, I'll lure it to the right to create distance, otherwise, I won't have time to reload if it charges."
Yang Yuan said this while moving to the right.
"Alright, be careful."
Zhao Jiayan quickly pulled Jiang Yiyi to the left, not saying anything about helping because she knew she couldn't help, staying would only hinder.
Across, the giant wolf raised its eyes slightly, seemingly preparing to attack the two weaker prey first.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Yang Yuan fired.
He inherited the original body's shooting skills, almost certain to hit at this distance.
But the giant wolf reacted quickly, instinctively turning its head so the bullet aimed at its eyes veered off, hitting its skull and lodging in the bone.
"Awoo..."
The giant wolf howled miserably, sharply looking at Yang Yuan.
It seemed enraged, with hunger and sudden pain making it lose its reason, charging swiftly.
Yang Yuan urgently retreated, trying to widen the distance, while continuing to shoot.
"Bang!"
The second bullet hit as well, but to his surprise, the giant wolf instinctively turned its head again, and the bullet grazed past its eye, hitting the corner of its eye.
"Awo!!"
The giant wolf howled, the injury slowing it slightly, but in the next moment it roared and lunged forward to tear this prey apart.
Yang Yuan was anxious, unable to hit a vital point; the pistol couldn't kill such a giant wolf.
The original body relied on the pistol and a strong physique to hunt such creatures.
In his urgency, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that the data on the pistol had changed to: [Pistol LV.1: 2/5]
"Could it be..."
His heart stirred, and he quickly fired three more shots.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
All three shots hit the giant wolf's head.
Blood splattered, and the pain and impact of the bullets greatly reduced its speed, but it was now only ten meters from Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan retreated while quickly and calmly checking the pistol's data.
[Pistol LV.1: 5/5 (Cannot Upgrade)]
"Cannot Upgrade?"
His face changed, but then he suddenly thought of the data in his mind, which had the words 'Can Upgrade', and he immediately willed: "Upgrade!"
The next moment, a warm current coursed through his body, and his wounds felt slightly warm, his level rising to two.
Soon after, the 'Cannot Upgrade' words on the pistol also changed to 'Can Upgrade'.
"So that's how it is! Upgrade!"
Yang Yuan was overjoyed, quickly upgrading the pistol as well.
The pistol flashed briefly, the upgrade complete.
No time to check the data, seeing the giant wolf fighting desperately, charging relentlessly.
He quickly pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
The immense recoil made his arm jerk back forcefully holding the pistol.
With a loud bang, the giant wolf's head suddenly bore a bloody hole, blood spraying out.
The skull that could originally stop a bullet was now penetrated, the pistol's power having greatly increased.
"Woo—"
The giant wolf staggered, running a few more steps before collapsing three meters away, dead.
"That was close!"
Yang Yuan sighed in relief, and then his hard-earned energy was exhausted, his body collapsing as well.
"Yang Yuan..."
"Big brother..."
Seeing the situation from afar, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi hurriedly ran back.
Yang Yuan struggled to sit up, trying to reload the pistol, quickly saying: "Don't mind me, deal with the prey first."
"Okay, okay."
Zhao Jiayan hurried to the giant wolf's corpse, laboriously dragging it closer to Yang Yuan, then taking out a small rusty knife no longer than a finger, she forcefully cut open the giant wolf's neck: "Yang Yuan, drink quickly."
Yang Yuan was stunned at first, then remembered that in this world, due to drought, people had reverted to such primitive survival methods.
Seeing the little girl Jiang Yiyi who came up, her eyes were green with longing at the blood flowing from the giant wolf's body.
If not for her remaining reason, knowing to let Yang Yuan drink first, she might have already pounced on the blood herself.
Yang Yuan hesitated. Although he had just come from a peaceful world and found such a method hard to stomach, feeling the exhaustion in his body and the burning sensation in his abdomen—
Especially since there was no way to cook food now.
He gritted his teeth and bent down, biting into the neck wound of the giant wolf's body and sucking hard.
A nauseating yet slightly salty-sweet blood flowed down his throat, making him almost want to vomit, but his body honestly and greedily absorbed the energy.
Damn, this taste is intense!
Yang Yuan forced himself to ignore the nauseating bloody stench in his nostrils, his body greedily consuming the wolf blood.
This energy-laden wolf blood quickly digested in his stomach, transforming into surging energy that spread throughout his body, rapidly rejuvenating it.
Even the wound on his waist felt heated, seemingly healing slowly.
After a long while, he stopped, unable to suppress a dry heave, making Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi look on in confusion.
"My injuries, just feeling a bit off."
Yang Yuan forced an explanation, adding: "I'm full, you two drink quickly, don't waste it."
"Yiyi, you drink first." Zhao Jiayan let Jiang Yiyi drink first, then worriedly asked: "Are your injuries alright?"
"They should be fine."
Yang Yuan felt his strength quickly returning; it felt like being on the brink of death and suddenly pumped with adrenaline, his enervated body rapidly gaining strength.
Perhaps because he had just leveled up, while his strength didn't seem to increase much, his recovery speed had accelerated.
The haggard Jiang Yiyi quickly lay down, drinking wolf blood, her face filled with satisfaction; the feeling of drinking her fill hadn't been felt for a long time.
Ever since the big brother took them in, they had never been full.
Quickly, she finished drinking and eagerly let Zhao Jiayan have a turn: "Jiayan sister, you drink now."
"Alright." Zhao Jiayan couldn't wait, bending down to drink the blood.
Yang Yuan recovered his strength while pondering his golden finger.
Currently, the data in his mind had changed to:
[LV.2: 0/2]
And the pistol's data had changed to:
[LV.2: 1/10 (Superior pistol, effective range sixty meters, with sufficient power to be considered decent among pistols.)]
"The level in my head should be my personal level."
Yang Yuan mused: "The pistol's level should only be its own level; the experience isn't shared, but the pistol's level is limited by my level."
Thinking back to the situation he encountered earlier, he realized: "Only by raising my level first, can the pistol be upgraded accordingly."
But—
How does my personal experience come about?
