Wilderness Survival with Druid System-Chapter 511 - 10: Selecting Perks

Chen Wen’s side.

The moment he saw the box, his expression visibly darkened at an alarming speed.

"Damn it, I heard that this area is full of bears, but it’s not supposed to be this many, right?"

Chen Wen frowned, looking at the bear claw marks on the box.

The surface of the plastic box had several claw marks, each almost ten centimeters long, clearly made by a bear.

He picked up the axe and looked around.

The surroundings were quiet, and there was no strange scent.

Only then did he open the box with confidence: "Hope the equipment isn’t damaged."

Upon opening it, the first box contained a drone and charging equipment.

With the advancement of technology, the means of capturing wilderness solitude have also improved.

They used drones produced by a company from Hua Country, featuring intelligent tracking and filming capabilities.

As Chen Wen activated the drone and the intelligent tracking function,

the drone emitted an extremely faint buzzing sound as it lifted off.

There was also a recording device attached to the collar, along with accompanying supplies.

Additionally, there was a first-person sports camera, along with supplies like batteries and backup lenses.

Compared to previous filming equipment, the current gear was quite lightweight.

The other box contained emergency supplies left by the program team.

Because the program team’s helicopters and yachts would take time to arrive, they prepared emergency gear for the contestants. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

It’s considered extra equipment.

A medical kit was included, equipped with an adrenaline auto-injector and some items for bleeding control and bandaging.

There was also a satellite phone, a tradition of the program.

To give up, contestants need to call via satellite phone and talk to Greg before they can leave.

Finally, there was a bottle of bear spray.

But this is not something that can be used casually.

Once this bottle of bear spray is used, it means the contestant is eliminated.

It’s good news that the equipment wasn’t damaged.

Chen Wen packed the equipment back.

Only then did he open the system.

[Survival initiated by the inheritor, the surroundings are wilderness, cultivation begins!]

[This wilderness cultivation location is: lakeside of Great Slave Lake]

[Please choose the basic entries for this cultivation, if none are chosen, you may exit directly]

[The self-limit function can now be activated, would you like to enable it]

[Current inheritance points: 453 points]

Last time, some of the points were spent after entering Ailao Mountain, used for communicating with animals.

Chen Wen activated the self-limit function, intending to test its effectiveness.

After activation, Chen Wen saw five slots.

This means only five benefitting friend entries can be selected this time.

After a brief consideration, Chen Wen started selecting based on his previous plan.

The first mandatory friend entry is [Tree Strike].

This time, if active hunting is required, it will rely entirely on [Tree Strike] for concealment and ambush.

The second choice Chen Wen made was [Territorial Consciousness].

This entry is fully prepared for survival in a fixed area.

With this entry, Chen Wen can greatly enhance his survival capabilities within the camp, as well as boost his alertness.

The only negative effect is that his rationality drops when the camp is invaded by an enemy.

But Chen Wen can totally accept this negative effect.

The third choice Chen Wen made was [Intimidation].

The applicability of the [Intimidation] entry is quite strong.

It can be used for hunting and also to drive away dangerous animals.

Very useful and a favorite to use.

The fourth choice is naturally [Ultimate Vision].

This entry has numerous effects, enhancing vision and providing night vision capabilities.

It even overlaps with the functionality of [Dynamic Vision].

Also an excellent entry.

As for the fifth choice, Chen Wen hesitated between [Disguise] and [Night Shadow].

The [Disguise] entry was extremely helpful earlier on.

It can conceal changes brought about by organ entries and some ordinary entries.

But now, its usefulness is limited.

Because it cannot conceal changes brought about by transformation entries.

Moreover, since Chen Wen doesn’t plan to select any organ entries this time, bringing this entry feels somewhat redundant.

Ultimately, Chen Wen chose [Night Shadow], an entry that provides cover at night.

It is also an entry that enhances the swiftness and speed of attacks.

With the selection of friend entries completed, Chen Wen is fairly satisfied with these five.

If it were in Africa, Chen Wen would replace [Night Shadow] with [Small Bets, Big Rewards].

But here at the lakeside of Great Slave Lake, there aren’t many prey larger than Chen Wen.

Other entries don’t quite suit the situation here either.

Next, it’s time to spend inheritance points on ordinary entries.

The first three entries are the classics.

[Swift], [Delicate Bird], [Enhanced Digestion Ability].

Enhance agility, construct shelter, assist digestion.

These three serve as the most basic entries, and without a higher replacement, Chen Wen’s choice is clear.

Next, Chen Wen chose the cold resistance entries.

This time, he didn’t bring a sleeping bag, making the cold resistance entries crucial.

Thanks to his survival experience at the Yukon River, Chen Wen already had quite a few cold resistance entries.

Moreover, the chances of obtaining cold resistance entries from local animals are relatively high, so Chen Wen only picked two cold resistance entries.

[Cold Resistance], an entry from Arctic Poppy.

Simple and straightforward, it withstands the cold.

A pure numerical charm.

And this entry is valued at 78 points, a top-level entry even among purple entries.

Therefore, this entry is the core of Chen Wen’s cold resistance entries.

The second is [Red-Nosed Rudolph], an entry from North American reindeer.

Heats the air, protecting the lungs from freezing and enhancing the sense of smell.

In extremely low temperatures, heating the air you breathe can maintain body temperature, as well as protecting the respiratory system.

Very useful.

This entry is golden, top-level among gold entries, valued at 96 points with no discount.

Then, Chen Wen chose two remaining entries.

One is [Temperature Change], from Nile Crocodile, an entry with two states.

High body temperature state accelerates metabolism, enhancing physical fitness.

Low body temperature state reduces metabolism, decreasing energy consumption.

Also, the low body temperature state should provide immunity to hypothermia, classed as a warming entry.

This entry is also a top-level golden entry, valued at 99 points with no discount.

The last entry Chen Wen chose was luck-based.

[Forest Elf], from the Bongo Antelope.

Boosts luck during forest survival.

Luck is important for wilderness survival, or rather, luck is important in any industry.

Except for mathematics.

This entry is valued at 74 points, above average for purple entries.

Chen Wen estimated the luck boost it provides isn’t much, but it’s enough.

Entries have been selected this way.

Five friend entries plus seven ordinary entries.

After discounts, Chen Wen spent 363 inheritance points.

The inheritance points he’d just earned were instantly drained, leaving only 90 points for emergencies.

These 90 points should be enough to activate the communication function for taming animals.
