Chapter 1 - The bastard scholar, The fox.......The system.

 

A fox girl goes to repay a favor by washing clothes and cooking for her husband.

This is a romantic and elegant thing. But what if a fox girl takes your own things and goes to someone else's house to repay a favor!?

Yes, that's right! There is a fox next door repaying a favor, but how come you stole rice and flour from my house to "repay a favor"?

In a shabby thatched cottage, a skinny boy wearing coarse linen clothes is lying in front of the wall, quietly peeping at the next door through a tiny gap.

A girl dressed in white is next door, with skin as white as jade. At this time, she holds an empty bowl and mutters something. The next moment, a bowl of brown rice appears out of thin air in the empty bowl.

The girl looks at the brown rice in the empty bowl, reveals a touch of joy, and quickly pours the brown rice into a basin beside her, and then continues to mutter something.

On the other side of the wall, the boy who was peeping through the crack in the wall, got up and quickly came to his own rice jar, staring at the empty rice jar with his eyes wide and filled with anger.

At this time, there was only a shallow layer of rice in the rice jar, and then in the eyes of the hungry and thin boy, the last remaining brown rice disappeared one by one.

Not a single grain was left! It was cleaner than a dog's bowl!!

He quickly rushed to the crack in the wall again, and through the tiny hole, he saw that the girl's empty bowl was indeed filled with a bowl of brown rice!

"Damn it! This is really going to starve me to death, leaving me no way to survive!" Archer, who stood in front of the wall, saw this scene.

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth so hard, it felt like it might lose a layer. But he didn't dare to curse out loud, for fear that the girl next door would hear him.

Before Archer finished cursing, there was a sudden tug at his shoulder, and before he could react, the bacon hanging on the beam above him also disappeared.

Soon, the aroma of rice came from next door. The girl made a pot of fragrant "rice and bacon" and then transformed into a fox with snow-white fur, and jumped into the cage beside her.

Archer's eyes were pressed against the wall, staring at the fox next door with anger in his eyes. He didn't even feel too strange about the woman turning into a fox, because Archer had seen this scene for about a week now.

A whole month! Do you know how he has been living in the past one months? Adding with the predecessor's, he had been suffering for more than a year now.

"Damn Rex, if only he had made this fox into a coat directly, I would have not been in this misery today!"

Archer cursed in his heart. To talk about the source of all this, we have to start from a year ago.

On a rainy night about one year ago, the hunter Rex next door went up the mountain to hunt and caught a white fox.

Rex wanted to make a fur collar with the fox, but the predecessor of Archer's current body didn't know what kind of evil spirit possessed the next-door scholar who was poor and ate coarse bran and wild vegetables every day.

That night, for some reason, he actually sold all the two acres of thin land he had just to buy the fox life.

Since then, the predecessor's miserable life began. He unknowingly became a chosen worker, working hard and starving to support the man and beast next door.

Until a month ago, his predecessor who was almost starved to death, fainted and stepped half a foot into the gates of hell, but luckily broke the mystery of the womb and recovered the memory of his past life.

After awakening his wisdom, Archer's centuries ahead consciousness took the lead and he was able to use his 'wisdom' that was far ahead of this world to improve his hunting skills, especially his skills in making traps, which allowed him to re-establish himself.

At first, his food disappeared in miniscule amount, that he didn't think much about it, but continued to go up the mountain to hunt.

However, in the two and half weeks since he broke the mystery of the womb, Archer finally realized that something was wrong.

The brown rice in his own jar dropped too fast, and the bacon was often less than he remembered.

At first, he thought he was robbed, especially by the next-door scholar who had no work but still hadn't starved to death, but after squatting at home for just one day, no thieves came. Instead, the rice and meat in the house disappeared.

It literally disappeared right Infront of his eyes!!!

Archer was shocked, thinking he had encountered a ghost he couldn't eat or sleep straight. Thinking that this world he had reincarnated into was one of ghost and immortals, but he was already inexplicably hunted by a ghost before he even explored the world. He had nightmares for two days before he finally got a hold of himself.

On the third day, he was in his house thinking of what he was going to do, not long after another batch of foodstuffs disappeared, he suddenly smelt fragrance coming from the next house, then he suddenly he became suspicious.

The day his stuffs disappeared, he smelt fragrance coming from the poor scholar's house next door, but he was already deeply frightened by his made-up ghost, that he didn't pay any attention to it.

And when he came back home the next day, the scholar was already getting ready for bed. In fact, as a hunter, he always entered late, so he never really paid much attention to this his poor neighbour.

But now, It was like his brain suddenly went online.

Thinking of the poor scholar next door, who did not work every day but had brown rice and meat every meal, and had extra money to study.

Archer became suspicious and thought that maybe the scholar had something to do with it. The next day, after the scholar had gone out, He quietly grinded a hole in his wall that could see the whole view of the scholar house, and then there was today's scene!

Smelling the aroma of rice next door, Archer blocked the gap in the wall, fearing that the vixen would find out that he was peeping.

"This damn vixen, even if I can't starve to death sooner or later, but won't I be working for this bastard of a neighbour all day long?"

'Even capitalist in my previous life can't exploit people like this, right?' After a long while, Archer touched his rumbling stomach, his eyes showing grief and anger. How difficult is it to make some money these days?

He had just started to establish himself, but it turned out that he ended up supporting the bastard scholar next door.

Counting the time when his predecessor was oppressed, the duo next door has been living off him for more than a year!

In his previous life, he had not even been able to live off a man or woman, though he was as straight as a man could be. Nevertheless, he had always lived off his parent's money, but he was not even married in this life, yet he was already feeding two extra lives?

But how to get rid of the fox spirit? He was confused and had no plan, or rather, he felt his means as an hunter was limited.

That was a fox spirit that mastered magic. It was already a blessing that the damn fox didn't come to harm him. How could he kill the monster?

From the little he could see, he knew the fox was not stupid, and could not be like other animals who would stupidly walk into the trap's he set, and whether the trap would be even effective is another problem. What if the fox went into rage and killed everywhere?

But nevertheless, he was not giving up, after all, hunter Rex was able to catch the fox, even if he said he was lucky and picked it up that day. But since he was able to pick it, then his own plan had a chance of success.

'Since the fox came to repay favor, then the bastard scholar is the point of entry' Archer thought sinisterly.

Just when he was about to turn around, he suddenly paused and turned his head back to look at the place where the bacon disappeared before. There was a pigeon egg-sized red bead like a night pearl, emitting a warm red light, which was particularly eye-catching.

The most important thing was that there was a word "+40" on the bead. The bead looked very similar to the experience value dropped by the big boss in the game.

At this moment, Archer's eyes suddenly blurred, and a page popped up:

  [Name: Archer Chen]

  [Skill: None]

  [Points: 0]

  [Found strange drop points, would you like to collect them? ]

"Collect!" Archer said without thinking.   

As Archer finished speaking, the red bead on the ground disappeared, and the gold finger screen flashed:

  [Name: Archer Chen]

  [Skill: None]

  [Points: 40]

"Gold finger? This is my gold finger!" Archer looked at his own gold finger, his eyes full of ecstasy.

He had awakened his gold finger, so what obstacle couldn't he overcome, not to talk about a mere vixen?
