Metal Ranger of the Endless Plane

This is a typical temperate forest. On the sloping land stretched out by the distant mountains, trees of varying thickness are scattered in a patchwork pattern. Among the not-so-dense tree shades, there were sparsely scattered star-like light spots.

Between the spots of light, I saw a thin and faint figure, swiftly moving back and forth among the bushes under the shade of the tree, as if showing off his familiarity with this place.

Xiaoying suddenly jumped out of a bush from far to near. This time its next destination, another bush, was a little farther away, so a gray-white hair, like a hare contaminated with dust, formed from light and shadow.

However, before it plunged into the bushes again, a black shadow flashed across the shade of the trees, and directly took it out of the air.

Looking at it, the hare, which had just been extremely vigorous, had been firmly nailed to the trunk by a gray-black arrow.

"Haha!" With a smug little voice, a young figure slowly emerged from the forest.

This man is about seventeen or eighteen years old, less than 1.8 meters tall, and has a stiff haircut. The upper body is a black T-shirt with the red characters "Hundred Step Archery Club" printed on it, and the lower body is a blue-gray cowboy with a pair of brown hiking boots.

The whole person, from start to finish, is an ordinary Chinese North High School teenager who can no longer be ordinary. The only unusual thing may be the competitive recurve bow in the hands of the teenager.

While walking towards his prey triumphantly, the young man said inexplicably into the air, "How about Xiaohe, my archery is good? It's not me. In our club, my archery skills are also top-notch. exist!"

"Of course, I can't count those people like my dad. In their coaches, there are any former city team provincial team athletes. It seems that there are only two or three national champions. Let's not talk about them."

[Remind the host again, if it is not necessary, do not use spilled voice to communicate with the system. Being vigilant in an unknown environment is one of the most basic qualities of a plane traverser. 】

Before the boy's voice fell, in his mind, a calm tone, but a somewhat proud voice rang.

It seems that our protagonist is not a true mental patient, but after being parasitized by a certain "system", some symptoms of schizophrenia are all there is.

[In addition, this system is the third-generation multi-universe plane communication system deployed by the Republic’s Inter-Galactic and Planar Communication and Civilization Development Research Department to low-level civilized areas. The model is Peace Guardian number 666, which is not a small sum. 】

{Yes, yes, you have said it several times. }

The young man said from his mind with kindness.

{Your manufacturing department is so tall, isn't it the title of the top star trade show? Don't look at my young age. I still know a little bit. }

{You don't like the name Xiaohe, um, Peace Guardian 666, how about I call you Xiaoliu? You have to know, this name is not an ordinary person's name. By the way, do you have a grandfather Seventh Uncle? Could it be Peace Guardian No. 796, huh? }

[..., the title has no meaning to this system, please feel free to host]

The system tone is still calm, but the inexplicable electric light flashing in the air seems to be telling a different mood.

{But it sounds like 796 is obviously a junior, and should be younger than 666. }

The boy replied playfully,

{So what about number 79? }

[..., Peace Guardian No. 79 is the second batch of products in the same series of this system, and the factory time is at least two universal standard cosmic epochs earlier than this system. It is three times longer than the historical time of your earthlings. 】

{Yeah, Uncle Qi is an old man with high morals and great reputation. No one knows, no one knows. A sir is not enough to express the lofty respect for the people of my generation! }

The corner of the boy's mouth showed a humble bend, and he continued teasing narrowly.

[..., to remind the host that if you don't deal with the carcass of prey, the smell of blood will attract predators in the forest. According to the aura density of the plane, there is a high probability that a predator will have a high-risk creature that the host cannot effectively kill. 】

The system changed the subject wisely.

"Ah? Uh!" The young man who had just made fun of the system, finally came back to his senses.

{Uh, how do you do this, you go through the system dignifiedly, don't you provide a portable space or something? Rare game, you can sell it for dozens of dollars when you bring it home. }

After the boy woke up, he hurriedly asked the system.

[The host has the low-level redemption authority through the store, and can redeem it by himself in the portable space. 】

The system replied.

However, without waiting for the teenager to study how to open the store, the system said again.

[But according to the safety protocol of the traverser, the system needs to reserve 50 points in the host's time and space points as a safe low ticket to send the host back to the main world in a dangerous situation. Throwing away this part, the host's current remaining time and space points are not enough to buy space items. 】

{Hey, you said this kind of thing earlier, OK, I'm still planning to see the store here. }

The young man hummed and said, completely lost the look when he teased the system before.

{That is to say, I am a poor man, I have to save money to buy the return ticket, so I won't give it to me, right? }

The boy's name is Lu Xiuyuan, but his family and friends prefer to call him Lu Yuan.

As mentioned earlier, he is an ordinary high school student, to be precise, a prospective freshman who graduated from the third year of high school. This is one of the few unusual places. It can be regarded as a less popular, but not so unusual sports hobby-archery.

After the college entrance examination, like most people, he was 18 years old and had free time, so he took the vacation to get his driver's license. On the way home from the vehicle management station, passing a sparsely-traveled open space, he encountered the "system" that he claimed could allow him to traverse the plane.

Confirming that the system can traverse back and forth, he took a few pieces of wild hunting equipment and props from home, randomly found an alien face, and ran over excitedly.

The teenager who had played hunting with his father did not need to be reminded by the system, and knew that he should not let the bleeding prey be exposed to the air. In that case, the smell of blood would soon attract all kinds of dangerous predation. By.

However, what he didn't expect was that the expected jackals, tigers and leopards had not yet appeared, and various snakes, birds, venomous insects, etc. had begun to gather.

"No! My insect repellent is hundreds of dollars worth of military products. It turns out to be very useful in hunting areas. Why do so many mosquitoes bite me?" Lu Yuan slapped the mosquitoes gathered around him while taking him from his body. Rub the wind oil essence and smear it on the bitten pimple.

That was how he said it, but he also felt it now that he had gone to the hunting area for hunting on his own, and ran to a forest with some equipment, how big it was.

So, afterwards, he simply took the insect repellent and smeared it on his bare arms and face, and hurriedly dealt with the hare that was bleeding more and more.

He first drew out the climbing axe from his waist, poked the surrounding ground with the axe handle, and found a suitable piece of soil. Using the axe blade as a shovel, he first dug out a portion of the soil and hurriedly covered the hare's blood mouth.

He sniffed hard with his nose, and found that the **** smell that was obvious just now had been masked by the rotten smell in the soil. He breathed a sigh of relief and checked the surrounding insects again.

{Looks like a bit of use, right, Xiaoliu? } Feeling that the frequency of mosquitoes attacking him has dropped a lot, Lu Yuan said to the system uncertainly.

[The host must not forget that the smell of blood will also stimulate these tiny living bodies. ] The system said lightly.

Lu Yuan was taken aback and hesitated, {You mean, because the smell of blood is covered, the mosquitoes appear to be less? Actually, the insect repellent still doesn't work? }

[The ecology of different worlds is not necessarily the same. The insect repellent used by the host only targets the physiological structure of the main plane mosquito, and can be harmless to other organisms. It is normal to switch to otherworldly creatures in this way, no matter what. ] The system said lightly.

Lu Yuan thought for a while, suddenly his face changed. {If the mosquito repellent didn't work, wouldn't my body be immune to the bacteria and viruses in this world? }

【certainly. 】The system floats, 【So the first thing to do is to confirm the adaptability of the body to the target world and prepare in advance. 】

{Alright, alright,} Lu Yuan said impatiently, {Just don't say anything, now come to scare me! You can traverse it. You must have a solution for this kind of basic thing, right? }

[Immune adaptation enhancer, exchange price, 5 time and space points. ] The system said lightly.

{Hey, let me just say it! ｝Lu Yuan looked smug, {then give me a copy of this thing! }

[Sorry, the host's available balance is insufficient to complete the transaction. ] The system's tone is still calm, but I always feel that there is a trace of schadenfreude.

Lu Yuan was obviously taken aback by what he said, and he came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, {No, why did he not pay the balance? Isn't it only 50 o'clock to open a crossing door? I remember the previous balance was 100 points, which is just enough for one round trip? }

[Based on the host's authority level as the lowest-level traverser, in the world outside the main plane, the host account must ensure that there are 50 points for return. This part of the margin does not belong to the host's available balance. 】

{Even this kind of setting? } Lu Yuan was surprised, but he also felt more at ease, but he still asked, {Xiao Liu, I hunted this rabbit, should I have something to gain? Didn’t you say that hunting is the easiest way for me to earn time and space points? }

[Kill the hare x1, get time and space points: 2]

Upon hearing this, the system took out the recording just now and presented it in the teenager's mind. It was just this number that made him have the urge to spit out old blood. {2:00? In the same way, I have to fight two more rabbits before I can barely buy the potion, right? }

[That’s not necessary, this problem will be resolved soon. 】Lu Yuan once again vaguely felt the system’s gloat, 【A predator is approaching the host extremely fast. 】
