บท 11: Chapter 11: Taming the Snowfield Wolf
Ryan was quite patient and cut off another piece of beef, tossing it towards the gray wolf.
Seeing the fallen meat, the gray wolf shrank back behind the passenger seat.
But it still revealed its nose, gently sniffing the aroma.
Ryan genuinely wanted to raise a dog, dogs are indeed man's best friend. Besides emotional support, they can also help guard the home.
Ryan had experienced living in an RV, and before he had a dog, he had lost a few things.
Sometimes, even locking the door didn't help.
Some thieves would pry open the gas tank to steal the gasoline inside.
While gasoline isn't worth that much, if you're not paying attention and your car breaks down on the road, it can become quite a hassle.
However, after getting a dog, he no longer had to worry about these problems.
Dogs have sharp hearing and a strong sense of territory, they would bark wildly at the slightest noise.
Moreover, this survival game becomes very dangerous at night.
So Ryan thought that once he successfully tamed the wolf, he would have a lookout and could sleep soundly at night.
At that moment, the gray wolf cautiously poked its head out.
It was indeed very hungry and picked up the meat on the ground, starting to swallow it.
"It's okay, take your time eating, there's plenty of meat." Ryan cut off another piece of beef and tossed it towards the gray wolf.
He began to slowly close the distance.
But when he was about two meters away, the gray wolf stopped in its tracks.
"Don't be afraid, come over if you want to eat." Ryan continued softly.
Ryan kept trying to talk to the gray wolf.
Of course, he didn't expect it to understand, but rather he wanted it to become familiar with his voice.
Finally,
Whether the gray wolf sensed Ryan's goodwill or couldn't resist the temptation of food, it gradually approached and gently picked up the meat from the ground in front of Ryan.
Ryan smiled with satisfaction.
The gray wolf had probably realized that he wouldn't harm it.
A preliminary trust had been established.
After finishing the meat on the ground, the gray wolf looked intently at the remaining piece in Ryan's hand.
Ryan held the meat in his left hand and extended it towards the gray wolf, saying, "Go ahead, eat."
At the same time, he gripped his hunting knife in his right hand, just in case this wild animal suddenly went berserk, with its size advantage, he could easily retaliate.
The gray wolf rolled its eyes upward, its gaze drifting between the meat and Ryan's face.
Finally, it slowly opened its mouth and grasped the piece of meat but didn't yank it away, instead, it waited for Ryan to let go.
"Wow, not bad at all, you've got real potential to be a dog." Ryan slowly loosened his grip but didn't pull his hand back.
As the gray wolf bent down to gnaw on the beef, Ryan gently attempted to pet it.
To his surprise, the expected food guarding behavior didn't occur, he had braced himself to use force to correct it if necessary.
[You have tamed a Prairie Wolf]
The system panel popped up, and Ryan finally broke into a relieved smile. "This... feels easier than I thought?"
The system panel expanded.
[Species Name: Snowfield Wolf (can be renamed)]
[Type: Pet]
[Threat Level: None]
[Status: Minor Injury, Thirsty, Hungry]
"Oh? I can rename it?" Ryan rubbed his chin and began to think. "What should I name it...?"
He wasn't very good at coming up with names.
After a moment of hesitation, he decided to use the name of his previous pet dog.
"Buddy, from now on, I'll call you Buddy!" Ryan patted the wolf's head, and he changed the name from Snowfield Wolf to Buddy on the system panel.
"Woof." Buddy responded with a low sound.
From the earlier situation, it seemed Buddy wasn't quite full yet.
Ryan used the crafting table to make Buddy a dog bowl, and then he took out a piece of beef.
Then,
the man and the wolf sat down together to eat.
Ryan reheated the steak while opening the system panel to enter the chat room.
He wanted to post about acquiring electronic components again.
[Ryan: Buying electronic components and various blueprints, fresh steak available for exchange!]
To avoid any doubts, Ryan sent a video directly.
In the video, the juicy steak was sizzling in the pan, and its golden, crispy exterior was undeniable.
People in the group began to feel the disparity between them.
[Wow, has Ryan already started eating grilled steak?]
[Waaa, the bread in my mouth suddenly feels like sawdust, and it's so hard to swallow now...]
[This is amazing, I can even smell it through the video.]
[Bro, I have blueprints. Can you cook a steak for me? I don't have any cooking tools!]
[Ryan: Message me privately.]
Ryan opened the private messages and filtered through using the search function.
He immediately noticed several people exchanging blueprints.
He nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, it seems I need to promote this in the group regularly."
Some players initially wanted to hold onto their blueprints.
But when faced with the temptation of delicious food, they found it hard to resist.
[Chase: Hey, Ryan, this blueprint I have is quite practical.]
[Chase: So I'd like to trade it for two pieces of meat, and I'd also like to ask you to craft a set for me.]
[Ryan: Send it over, and I'll take a look first.]
[Chase: [Off-Road Tire Blueprint]]
Ryan reached out and clicked on the blueprint to check the details.
[Off-Road Tire Blueprint]
[Function: Increases chassis height, enhances anti-slip strength, suitable for complex terrains, reduces fuel consumption by 10%]
[Required Materials: Rubber x12]
"Oh? This is indeed a good item." After reading the system panel, Ryan nodded in approval.
Not being able to drive a vehicle into the snow is a major pain point for most players.
Once stuck in the snow, being unable to get out is not much different from waiting to die.
Even this morning, when Ryan was transporting beef, he had thought long and hard about whether to drive the vehicle into the snow.
Even with just a 20-meter distance, he carefully cleared the snow.
So for many players, the toughest part of obtaining supply crates might not be the search itself.
Instead, it's figuring out how to successfully bring the supplies back to their vehicles.
Moreover, before the temperature rises, most players cannot leave their vehicles.
But if they switch to off-road tires, they can drive into the snow and quickly take the supply crates away.
At that moment, the other party sent another message.
[Chase: We can sign a contract at the trading post, if you don't have enough materials, I can wait.]
Chase was actually aware of the value contained in this blueprint.
Unfortunately, he had limited materials on hand and had never even seen rubber, making it unrealistic to buy at the trading post.
Twelve tires for one vehicle means a total of 48. dig a pit for me, huh?"
If this blueprint were in his hands, Chase felt he wouldn't be able to create it anytime soon.
If he had switched to off-road tires earlier, he could have definitely gathered more resources.
What if Ryan didn't have enough rubber…
Chase sensed an opportunity, he just needed to tweak the contract a bit.
If Ryan didn't have enough rubber, he would have to pay an extra price.
[Ryan: It's a deal.]
On Ryan's side, he used the bone goggles to trade for a lot of resources, including quite a bit of rubber.
[Chase: Do you have any rubber? I see that making tires requires 12.]
[Ryan: I do.]
[Chase: Then let's sign a trading contract.]
Chase drafted the trading contract in the trading post and sent it over to Ryan.
He intentionally obscured the number of tires in the contract.
He only specified that it was for changing the tires of one vehicle and demanded delivery by tonight.
Soon, the contract arrived on Ryan's side.
Ryan took a look and quickly noticed the issue: "Wait, a vehicle needs four tires…"
He opened his system bag to check.
He currently had exactly 25 pieces of rubber, enough to make 2 rubber tires.
Ryan glanced again at the delivery countdown in the contract, which was set to deliver within 2 hours after signing.
If violated, there would be a penalty of 20 times the amount.
The trading post is also a guarantee platform, linked to the system warehouse.
If the contract is violated, not only will the trading post be disabled, but the resources in the warehouse will also be frozen.
If the debt isn't paid, any future resources collected will be prioritized for the creditors.
[Chase: Hey Ryan, have you finished reading the contract?]
[Chase: If there are no issues, go ahead and sign it. I'm really hungry and want some beef, haha.]
Ryan looked at the private message and grinned, "This guy is trying to dig a pit for me, huh?"
