Era of the transmigrating earth-Chapter 2005: There’s Another Hidden One?

The gathering place was still quite far from them. Du You walked at a normal speed and only arrived at the destination the next day. By this time, there were already some people in this place.

"Pretty fast, but who is this person? I’ve never heard of him."

"Maybe he was lucky and happened to be closer to our location." Someone commented, looking at Du You.

Among the classmates, those with strong abilities had long been famous. How could they not know about them? A stranger like this, although his clothes were not damaged, it could just mean he was extremely lucky.

Being so lucky yet taking so long to arrive, it only showed that his abilities were truly lacking. Look at the other people around; the traces of battles on them are proof of true strength.

Those without strength are seen as cannon fodder in their eyes. They can only live as civilians in the future and aren’t worth associating with.

Similarly, Du You didn’t pay attention to these people. They were just ordinary people. This was just a virtual world, not the Outer World, so Du You couldn’t control these people here.

Since he couldn’t control them, they were useless, and talking to them would only lower his own status.

Although Du You was disguised as an ordinary person, he wasn’t really one. The type of thing where one insists on interacting and then getting looked down upon, only to slap in the face later, was something Du You was too old to enjoy. Doing such things would probably make Du You feel immensely embarrassed himself.

Unlike Du You, Xiaobai on the other side attracted everyone’s attention.

Of course, the reason for the attention was not only Xiaobai’s appearance but also the weapon she carried. The bloodstains on the weapon were definitely not fake, which clearly indicated that this woman’s strength was not simple.

Soon, Du You learned about the next task.

"Virtual is just virtual; it can’t be like the original."

Du You suddenly smiled. Because in the Outer World, tasks appeared directly in his mind, or rather, the world’s will directly communicated with the souls of living beings, issuing tasks from within the soul.

Whereas the task in this virtual world was conveyed through sound, whispering into his ear, which was far less effective.

Nevertheless, for an imitation, reaching this level was not easy.

The task Du You received was to hunt various beasts, just like his first entry into the Outer World. It seemed other people’s first task upon entering the Outer World was usually the same.

However, because the difficulty was too high, most people couldn’t possibly complete it, so they had to rely on dying to earn compensation points to improve their strength. They aimed to complete the task on their next entry.

"Then, I’ll stick to my old method." Du You didn’t plan on using any other methods.

He directly sourced materials locally, ignoring other people, and crafted a bow that looked decent. At least this world didn’t have raptors, so for ordinary beasts, a simple bow and arrow would suffice.

Du You didn’t plan on using poison, or rather, he couldn’t because there was none around.

This world only valued raw combat power, neglecting other usable things. Additionally, this was only a virtual world, and the plants around were too simplistic, with no herbs available for poison crafting.

Without poison, hunting beasts would have to rely on aiming for vital points.

"This student is quite impressive; not to mention anything else, just his tool-making ability is extraordinary."

A teacher suddenly pointed at Du You and remarked. Ordinary students, even with poor combat skills, usually paid even less attention to tool-making, as it wasn’t deemed essential.

Everyone focused on various skill combinations and tactical formulations. They never valued the initial development steps upon entering the Outer World.

"Let’s see the effectiveness. If this proves useful, we should include this skill in our curriculum. I have a hunch that this weapon-making skill can significantly increase the survival rate of newcomers."

"Indeed, bows and arrows are long-range weapons, and sourcing materials locally is easy. But the problem is, if the archery skills are lacking, this kind of primitive tool poses little threat to beasts. I don’t recommend students waste time on this."

Others voiced opposition, emphasizing the importance of archery skills.

"Let’s wait and see." Many began paying attention to Du You’s actions.

Suddenly, a teacher remarked: "Right, I remember, this person is probably in Old Li’s class. Your class is truly full of hidden talents. You must be familiar with this student’s abilities."

Du You’s homeroom teacher felt even more awkward. He had even less impression of him; both of these students were invisible in the class.

"It’s okay, it’s okay; it’s all the students’ personal interests. After all, we didn’t teach these things."

He had to attribute it to the curriculum because these subjects weren’t covered, and he couldn’t claim to have taught it. In fact, even he didn’t understand the making and use of primitive bows and arrows.

"Forget it, don’t put him on the spot. Besides the students learning on their own, who else pays attention to these things? Look, he’s starting to act; let’s see how he performs."

At this moment, Du You, with his bow and arrow, had already departed. Others shifted their gazes towards Du You’s screen. They were also still focusing on Xiaobai, whom they deemed a top contender.

Whether the academy could foster a strong adventurer in the future depended on Xiaobai’s performance.

But what they hadn’t expected was that Du You’s performance was even more astounding. This guy moved freely back and forth in the jungle, even more at ease than wild animals, as if he was the one who’s always lived there.

Du You, although suppressing his power, was still very keen in his senses, easily detecting the traces of animals here.

"Silver-hair mountain goat, huh? Let’s start with you." Du You spotted a particular beast and, without hesitation, as the goat hadn’t discovered him yet, shot out an arrow. Under everyone’s gaze, the arrow accurately struck the goat’s eye, piercing through the eyeball directly into the brain.

The goat fell dead on the spot without a sound. The surrounding teachers were dumbfounded; was this just luck? Could such a primitive bow and arrow shoot so accurately? Most professionals couldn’t even achieve this with proper bows.

But it wasn’t long before everyone stopped thinking it was luck.
