Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

Chapter 31: Chapter 29: Ability Card, Beast Intuition

[Daily settlement beginning. Based on your harvest and performance over the past day, you have received a score and Rating. Rewards will be automatically exchanged for Cards of the corresponding level.]

[Over the past day, you collaborated with others to hunt a large prey animal: a Moose weighing roughly 770 pounds...]

[Score: 85]

[Rating: B+]

[Rewards: Ability Card: Beast’s Instinct, Building Card: Beast Cage, Resource Card: Wooden Bow]

[Note: Your excess score has been automatically exchanged for lower-grade Cards.]

Chen Chong recalled the daily settlement message from last night.

For some reason, even though he had been asleep, the information remained in his mind as if he’d memorized it from a book, not fading away immediately.

’Prey hunted using intelligence actually counts toward the daily settlement?’

Chen Chong was surprised.

It seemed, then, that only Cards found directly through intelligence didn’t count. Everything else was considered part of his harvest.

Chen Chong wasn’t too concerned about the Building and Resource Cards. The Ability Card, on the other hand...

’A new type of Card!’

He took hold of the Card without hesitation and read its information.

[Card Type: Ability Card: Beast’s Instinct]

[Rating: B-Level]

[Description: Upon use, you will gain a beast’s ability to sense danger, becoming more sensitive to changes in your surroundings.]

[Note: The effect of an Ability Card is permanent. If merged with a higher-tier Card of the same ability type, it will overwrite the lower-tier Card’s effect and slightly enhance the ability.]

Chen Chong stared at the Card’s information, stunned for a long moment.

It wasn’t just shock at the existence of Ability Cards; the information confirmed two of his previous suspicions.

’There aren’t just three Card Types—Resource, Building, and Recruitment. There’s a fourth: the Ability Card in my hand!’

’As I expected, its rarity far surpasses the other three types.’

’And the "Note" section mentioned that Ability Cards have higher-tier versions of the same type—meaning there’s an A-Level Card similar to Beast’s Instinct.’

’Does that mean the other three Card Types work the same way?’

’Like the crude iron dagger I saw at the market the other day versus my own Refined Iron dagger—one is clearly a higher tier than the other.’

The logic was even clearer for Building and Recruitment Cards.

’I myself have both D-Class and C-Class Vacant Land Cards for farming, and the higher-class one provides a larger area than the lower-class one.’

’Recruited people can be strong or weak, too. There must be people with better martial skills than Wang Biao, or greater intellect than Jia Wen... ’

After pondering the Ability Card for a few seconds, Chen Chong used it without further delay.

As the Card dissolved into a stream of light and vanished, Chen Chong didn’t feel any particular change.

’Perhaps the room is too safe to trigger the danger Perception from Beast’s Instinct... ’

Without dwelling on it, Chen Chong turned his attention to the other two Cards. Both were white, D-Class Cards.

[Card Type: Building Card: Beast Cage]

[Rating: D-Class]

[Description: Upon use, you will obtain a five-square-meter beast cage. Animals raised inside will receive a 20% daily bonus to their growth speed.]

It was similar to the fence Card Xu Jun had. Both were for raising animals, with the same area and growth speed bonus.

The only difference was the type of animals they could house—nothing remarkable.

’It seems all D-Class Cards give the same growth bonus. Only higher-level Cards will offer a better one.’

’This one is good enough for now. I should try to find some small animals to raise, like wild rabbits or pheasants...’

[Card Type: Resource Card: Wooden Bow]

[Rating: D-Class]

[Description: A relatively crude, ordinary wooden bow, accompanied by five wooden arrows.]

The description was brief, but it made Chen Chong smile.

’Wang Biao was just saying he needed a proper weapon. Perfect timing.’

With a bow, he could finally put his skills to good use, which would make hunting much easier.

Today’s three Cards were a perfect match for his current needs.

Amid his excitement, Chen Chong didn’t forget something even more important: the daily intelligence report.

[D-Class Intelligence: 800 meters to the north, there are edible, cloud-patterned Fog Fruits.]

[C-Class Intelligence: Approximately 1000 meters to the east, there is... something.]

[A-Level Intelligence: Hunt Extraordinary Creatures to obtain Rare Cards and a hidden Secret Card.]

Chen Chong skimmed past the D-Class and C-Class intelligence, but he froze when he read the A-Level report. ’Another A-Level?’

After reading the contents clearly, Chen Chong furrowed his brow and read it over twice more.

’Extraordinary Creatures?’

’Is it referring to the one-horned Giant Catfish in the river?’

’And a Secret Card... what’s that?’

...

"Sir, you’re awake?"

The moment Chen Chong stepped out of his room, he saw Wang Biao sitting on the living room sofa.

He seemed to be fiddling with something in his hands...

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, this? It’s a small trap I made. I was bored, so I put a couple together. I’m going to set them outside and see if I can catch any wild rabbits or mountain rats."

Wang Biao held up the contraption he’d woven from wood slivers and string, giving it a little shake.

"Not bad," Chen Chong said with a smile. He suddenly remembered something, turned back into his room, and emerged a moment later with something in his hand.

It was the wooden bow from before.

"Try this out. See what you think of this bow."

Wang Biao’s face lit up as he took the bow. He quickly drew the bowstring, testing its tension a few times before nodding in approval.

"While this bow doesn’t have the draw weight of a war bow, it’s close to one ’shi.’ It should be more than enough for hunting."

"One ’shi’?"

Chen Chong wasn’t familiar with the unit. The definition of a ’shi’ varied from dynasty to dynasty, to say nothing of one from Wang Biao’s Great Bei Dynasty.

After a brief line of questioning, he finally got his answer.

The ’shi’ Wang Biao spoke of was equivalent to about 30 kilograms. A bow with such a draw weight might have been unremarkable in ancient times, but it was considered quite powerful by modern standards.

The greater the draw weight, the more powerful the arrow. As long as he wasn’t facing exceptionally large game, it would be more than enough for small and medium-sized prey.

"Good. Where are Jia Wen and Ah Jun?"

"They’re probably still asleep," Wang Biao replied.

"Fair enough." Chen Chong didn’t press the issue. They were exhausted from yesterday, so it was understandable they would sleep in.

They had moved in such a hurry yesterday that he hadn’t done any tidying up beyond making his bed.

Taking advantage of the quiet moment, Chen Chong decided to tidy up the apartment and get things properly organized.

He hadn’t paid much attention when he got back last night, but a closer look now revealed that the three-bedroom apartment showed almost no signs of use. It was practically brand new.

’Looks like the apartment the security guard swapped for me was never occupied by any of the teachers. Not bad at all.’

He didn’t have many belongings, so it took him less than ten minutes to get his room in order.

With time on his hands, he looked at the few Building Cards in his bag and decided to use them right away.

He had been deliberately saving these Building Cards, waiting until he moved to a better location to use them.

There was no time like the present. He would see what they could do.

’But where should I use them?’

’Why not... right here in my room?’

With so many people living here, placing them in the living room would be inconvenient and get in everyone’s way.

But using them in his own room would avoid all those problems.

Having made up his mind, Chen Chong no longer hesitated. He took out all of his Building Cards.

A white D-Class Vacant Land Card, a green C-Class Vacant Land Card, a blue B-Level Fishpond Card, and the D-Class Beast Cage Card he had just received...
