The three of them were already sore from walking. They could not wait to rest, but they did not dare sit down and rest before Wei Huo left.
Wei Huo was impressed, but he did not know if Xiao Bin and the others were smart or afraid.
Wei Huo left with his bow. Five minutes later, he returned with a wild boar that was as tall as a human. When he returned, he saw the three of them fiddling with a bonfire.
Wei Huo was a little surprised. The three of them had high execution skills. Usually, people who did not have high execution skills would take a break in such a situation. When there were many people around, they would not want to move if they heard someone say, "Let's rest for five minutes."
However, the three of them had already taken out their cigarettes and lighters. They had also found a way to start a fire.
It seemed like they were really hungry …
Wei Huo did not stand in their shoes, so he did not guess their true thoughts. As the only expert they could rely on, how could the three of them dare to neglect Wei Huo's words? What if Wei Huo abandoned them because he thought they were worthless?
"Do you have a knife?" Wei Huo asked.
The three of them shook their heads.
Wei Huo threw out three bronze knives. "I'll give them to you to protect yourselves. Slaughter this wild boar and roast it. Don't worry about me!"
The three knives were considered a reward for their strong execution skills. This was considered Wei Huo's initial recognition of them. He wanted them to slaughter the boar themselves because he wanted to observe their efficiency in gaining Skill EXP.
Unlike the players, the three of them had an additional "learning" skill in addition to the ten basic skills. Xiao Bin's learning skill was the highest level at level 13, and the skill indicated that he could understand level 13 blueprints and other skills' leveling efficiency increased by 130%.
Players did not have this skill. Wei Huo had obtained this skill in the Divine Realm, and he had only trained it to level seven.
After the three of them finished slaughtering and started roasting, Wei Huo saw that their Cooking Skill was increasing rapidly. Wei Huo received another piece of information.
Recruiting students was the most cost-effective. Students were young, naive, and had a longer lifespan. Besides, they had the 'Learning' skill, and their skills could be upgraded quickly. They were worth nurturing.
After the three of them were full, Wei Huo led them on their way. The three of them looked at the wild boar's corpse regretfully, but they did not make any choice and followed Wei Huo.
Wei Huo noticed this detail. The three of them were too innocent, but they trusted Wei Huo very much.
People who were prepared for danger in times of peace might ask and remind Wei Huo to bring the wild boar along. If Wei Huo did not bring it along, they might choose to cut off a wild boar's hind leg and bring it along just in case. That way, they would still be able to preserve their food even if Wei Huo abandoned them.
However, they did not do so. Firstly, they believed that Wei Huo would hunt for them again. Secondly, they believed that Wei Huo had caught it. If Wei Huo did not speak, they had no right to deal with the wild boar.
However, this simplicity was also their strength. After all, if they encountered a bad-tempered or narrow-minded person, wouldn't everything be over?
Wei Huo did not have a bad temper, but he was not petty either. If the three of them chose to cut their flesh, Wei Huo would stop and wait. He would also change his training policy for the three of them.
Tests and observations were everywhere. Wei Huo was observing them, and they were also observing Wei Huo. After all, they had not revealed their names to Wei Huo.
The three of them handled it well. They spoke little and did not complain. They displayed their endurance and willpower. At the same time, they kept observing Wei Huo. They started from the details to observe what kind of person Wei Huo was, whether he was worth following, and whether there were any traps.
Under such circumstances, as long as neither party had any ill intentions, there was a high chance that they would gain each other's trust.
Wei Huo continued moving forward. After walking for two hours with them, he heard the sound of water flowing. The three of them were a little excited, as their mouths were already dry.
The three of them had almost reached their limit. Their throats were so dry that smoke was coming out.
Wei Huo followed the sound and walked closer. He realized that it was a small waterfall that was about 10 meters tall. The impact of the water formed a small pond.
The three of them were thirsty and wanted to drink water. However, Wei Huo did not say anything. They did not dare act rashly. They were really obedient. They were very different from some impatient adults. Although this made them look very ordinary, they could live longer by doing so.
After all, what if they were attacked in a hurry to drink water? What if the water was poisonous?
Wei Huo circled to the top of the waterfall. There was a 100-meter-tall tree on one side of the waterfall. It covered the sky and was very suitable for building a wooden house. It was the kind with multiple floors. There was a stream and a pool directly above the waterfall. The pool was about the size of a basketball court, and Wei Huo could even see small fish inside.
This was a good location to build a camp. On one side was a waterfall. It was fast to go down, but it was difficult to get up. It was a natural defensive barrier. There was a water source and a big tree there. It was surrounded by a forest, so it was convenient to collect wood.
Wei Huo observed his surroundings and said, "Rest here. We'll start building the camp later!"
As soon as Wei Huo finished his sentence, the three of them could not wait to drink water from the pool. It seemed like they had been thirsty for a long time. They did not care if the water was raw or if there were bugs or bacteria in it. They just scooped up the water and drank it.
As humans had already obtained super digestive abilities and super immunity, Wei Huo was not worried that they would be poisoned or infected. He only observed the location and placed the blueprint on it.
First, there was a stone bonfire to solve the problem of food. Then, there was a wooden house and a wooden bed to solve the problem of sleeping. There were also some small components, such as wooden tables and chairs. There were not many things that needed to be built in the early stages.
Xiao Bin and the other two took a break after drinking the water. They then saw Wei Huo placing the blueprint there. The Thinking Lock in their consciousness kept flickering. Soon, they understood this construction method and consciously looked for stones and wood.
Wei Huo thought about it and called them over. "I'll teach you how to make bows and axes. Build these buildings later."
The three of them nodded in unison. "Okay."
The 10 basic skills of Xiao Bin and the other two were very low. A few of them were at level 0. They were much worse than ordinary people.
The other skills were fine, but their Shooting Skill and Combat Skill were too weak. Wei Huo planned to let them practice both of these skills.
However, before that, Wei Huo sent them away and let the other two do their work. He then found someone to communicate with and complete the recruitment quest.
If they did not do this quest, it would probably take a long time for the three of them to trust Wei Huo completely. They had not told Wei Huo their names, even though Wei Huo already knew their names.
After all, everyone's name and level were above their heads. Unless they wore masks, they could not hide it.
Wei Huo asked the three of them out three times in a row and returned the three shameful items to them. Wei Huo then successfully recruited the three of them as his attendants.
The three of them were Normal-ranked, and their skill levels were very low. However, Xiao Bin had a Hero template, so it was not difficult to recruit them. Even so, it would definitely be difficult for ordinary players to complete this recruitment quest.
