Trembling At A High Altitude

There is a screen on the lid above the box.

On the screen is a redemption menu.

There is only one item available for redemption.

a knife.

A very ordinary looking machete.

However, the exchange price reached 200,000 time index points!

It is twenty times the price of the alloy hammer in Li Teng's hand!

From the appearance of the picture, you can't tell what's so good about this machete, except that the color of the metal looks a little darker than Li Teng's hammer.

The number of 200,000 meant that Li Teng had to kill at least 200 giant rats or 40 bears and rhinoceros to earn so many time index points.

This also piqued Li Teng's curiosity.

How strong is this machete to be worth the price?

Li Teng's current time index balance in his account is only over 60,000. If he wants to redeem this machete, he has to earn more than 130,000 time index points.

Converted into giant rats, more than one hundred and thirty animals need to be hunted.

Converted into bears and rhinos, twenty-seven would have to be killed.

There was a cave entrance in front of the platform. Li Teng hesitated for a moment, returned to the initial entry point, put on his equipment, picked up the mace, and prepared to explore the cave ahead.

The stone slab under my feet has stopped moving. It seems that as long as I clear the level, I won't have to repeat the run the second time.

After reaching the platform where the treasure chest was located, Li Teng took a few more steps and got into the cave in front.

After entering, there is a space of about 100 meters in front, and there is a bear and rhinoceros walking around in it.

Without the obstruction of the white mist, when it turned around and saw Li Teng, it immediately roared and charged towards Li Teng with its horns raised.

Li Teng immediately waved his hammer and started fighting with it.

After so many days of training to run to the limit, Li Teng's legs were now full of explosive power, and he moved very quickly and flexibly. He easily dodged Xiong Xi's collision, and then hit the side of his face with a hammer.

In less than ten minutes, Li Teng easily killed the Xiongxi and got his first 5,000 points.

There are two more holes extending out of this space.

Li Teng chose the hole on the right to enter.

After entering this time, there were two bears and rhinoceros inside.

Without the obstruction of the white mist, the two Xiongxi saw Li Teng almost at the same time, and then charged at him at high speed with their horns raised.

Facing the attack of two bear rhinoceros at the same time for the first time, Li Teng was still a little frightened at first. However, after the battle began, he found that his leg strength had increased and his mobility was greatly enhanced. He faced two bear rhinos at the same time. It wasn't as scary as he imagined.

As long as he didn't get hit by them at any time, and didn't give them a chance to kick him, they hardly posed much of a threat to him.

More than twenty minutes later, there were two more Xiongxi corpses on the ground.

In the next cave space, there were two bears and rhinoceroses wandering inside. Li Teng became more and more skillful in hunting them, and could basically resolve the battle in about 20 minutes.

And it also ensures that you don't get hurt.

Although the spaces in these caves are connected by openings, they seem to have some kind of restrictions.

Even though Li Teng can walk freely between the entrances of these spaces, these bears and rhinoceros can't. They only stay in the space where they are. If Li Teng passes through the entrance of the cave and goes to another space in the cave during the fight with them, they will He won't chase after him.

Walking around in this maze-like cave, Li Teng also found a space inside the cave where there was no Xiong Xi.

There is actually a gym inside.

I searched around the gym but couldn't find the treasure chest.

I found something new inside.

There is an energy drink vending machine against the wall, and next to the energy drink vending machine, there is also a protein powder drink vending machine.

It's not very expensive. It costs 1,000 points for a bottle. Li Teng bought a bottle. It's a 2L model, which is very affordable.

Drink it in one go and you won't be hungry at all.

But it feels boring.

Li Teng left here and continued to hunt Xiong Xi.

Before noon, Li Teng still hadn't accumulated enough 200,000 time index points. He was still short of 40,000 points, so he could only continue tomorrow.

…

After the twelve hours of torture, Li Teng returned to the cave and continued to hunt Xiong Xi.

Two hours later, Li Teng completed the hunt for nine Xiongxi and accumulated 200,000 time index points.

He returned to the treasure chest on the platform with great excitement and exchanged 200,000 time index points for the machete.

After confirming the exchange, Li Teng opened the lid of the box and took out the actual machete from the box.

As soon as he got it in his hands, Li Teng felt that something was not right.

Although the machete looks very thin, it is actually very heavy. It is initially estimated to weigh about ten kilograms, or even close to twenty kilograms.

The knife is a good knife, with high-tech material and extremely sharp edge.

However, it was very difficult for Li Teng to swing it and he couldn't use it normally at all.

Human power is actually very small.

In fantasy fairy novels, the weapons in the hands of the protagonists are set to weigh hundreds of thousands of kilograms, which have no reference value to ordinary humans.

In historical novels, the hammers of Li Yuanba, the best hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, weighed 800 kilograms, Pei Yuanqing's hammers were lighter at 300 kilograms, and Qin Shubao's golden mace weighed 60 kilograms.

Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin" went to the blacksmith shop to get a Zen stick and asked for a hundred pounds. After being questioned by the boss, he said, "Guan Wang's sword is 82 pounds, so I am not as good as Guan Wang?" ’ In the end, the boss made him a 62-pound water mill Zen rod.

Are these real?

wrong.

As long as everyone uses their brains a little, they will know that it is impossible. Even a well-trained fitness man cannot lift 10kg or 20kg dumbbells or barbells in the gym continuously for half an hour.

Even super strong men like Dwayne Johnson and Tyson cannot hold dumbbells and perform various waving movements continuously. What's more, the force exerted by heavy cold weapons is much more complicated and easier than fitness equipment such as dumbbells and barbells. Causing muscle fatigue or even injury.

No athlete with modern technology and proper nutrition and systematic training can hold a weapon weighing dozens of kilograms and use it continuously, and it is even less possible for ancient warriors who were undernourished and without scientific training to do so. Unearthed cultural relics and documents show that the heaviest weapons on the battlefield were less than 10 kilograms, which indirectly proves this point.

Ancient people were only mortals, and weapons weighing tens or hundreds of kilograms could only exist in artistic processing in movies, TV series, and novels. For normal humans, weapons weighing twenty kilograms were already the limit of human beings.

Therefore, even if Li Teng had trained his full-speed running ability to the limit and his leg muscle strength to the limit, he still would not be able to swing it as he pleased when he picked up the machete.

Not to mention using it to chop down giant rats and bears and rhinoceros.

This made Li Teng feel very frustrated.

If he wanted to use this weapon, he would have to spend at least ten days or more in the gym to build up the strength and muscles of his arms, shoulders, back, chest and abdomen.

Two hundred thousand time index points seemed to be wasted.
