Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 78: Light at the End of the Tunnel


While Chen Wen was telling the story of taming the lynx.

Inside the tavern, the mother of two children was already anxious.

She loudly shouted asking if anyone had seen where her two children went.

The tipsy Laird pointed to the door: "I think I saw, hic~ two little guys in hats went outside."

Upon hearing this, Renia, who had just finished her performance, said, "I'll help you find them."

The two women left the tavern.

Outside.

The story had been told.

But the two children dragged Chen Wen to the inn entrance, wanting to ride the moose.

Faced with the two children calling him the legendary Hunter and legendary Beast Tamer.

Chen Wen didn't refuse, this wish was reasonable.

After all, reasonable wishes of children are things that shine like stars.

If not fulfilled at the time, they might become something they remember for the rest of their lives.

Chen Wen decided to fulfill these two children's wishes.

Arriving at the inn, the two moose were already resting.

But Chen Wen gently woke the moose, leading it to the middle street of the town.

He looked at the two children, seriously saying, "Since you want to ride, you must listen to me, absolutely don't hurt it."

The two children nodded quickly like chickens pecking at rice.

Then Chen Wen lifted them up, planning to take the moose back to the tavern and return these two little guys.

...

On the empty street, accompanied by bursts of giggles.

Renia finally found the two little troublemakers.

"Hey! I finally found you!"

Seeing the two children having fun, Renia breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they weren't lost.

In the Yukon, if a child got lost or wandered into the wilderness.

There was almost no chance of finding them back.

The two children saw Renia and waved excitedly.

Upon seeing this, Chen Wen lifted them off the moose's back.

He chuckled and said, "The lynx and golden eagle can't withstand such loud noises, so I took them out, but these two followed, and then expressed their wish to ride the moose, so I took them along."

Renia nodded, took out her phone, and informed the children's mother.

Assuring her not to worry and to return to the tavern.

Then, Renia said, "You two better be ready to get scolded! Sneaking out like that? Don't you know how dangerous the Yukon is at night!"

Little Red Riding Hood immediately said, "It was my brother who made me come out! It has nothing to do with me!"

At this moment, Chen Wen finally understood the saying "sisters would sell out their brothers."

However, after Little Red Riding Hood said that, she acted like a little adult, looking at Chen Wen: "I'm very happy that you let the moose and lynx play with us, here's your payment."

Saying this, Little Red Riding Hood pulled a wad of bills from her pocket.

While it was unclear what currency this was, from Renia's expression, it seemed like quite a bit!

"I don't take money from children, this is nothing, keep it."

Chen Wen said with a smile.

Earning money from children, he just wouldn't do it.

Upon hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood delightfully said, "You really are a good person."

Soon, the mother of the two children came over.

After a stern lecture to the children, she expressed her gratitude to Chen Wen.

Just when Chen Wen thought the matter was over, Little Red Riding Hood suddenly said, "Hey, big brother, didn't you say you wanted to earn money?"

Chen Wen was taken aback.

While riding the moose with the two children, he had casually mentioned his current lack of money, but didn't expect the child to remember it.

Little Red Riding Hood continued, "Actually, if you want to earn money, you could tell stories in the tavern, your stories are really good, I think many people would pay for them."

This suggestion left Chen Wen a bit stunned.

Telling stories?

He was fine telling stories to children, but to adults, it seemed a little far-fetched.

And who would want to pay for it?

Just when Chen Wen thought it was just a child's joke, Renia standing beside suddenly said, "Hey, that's actually a great idea!"

Chen Wen was bewildered.

A good idea?

The children's mother also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, if you really want to earn money, this could totally work."

Seeing Chen Wen's lack of understanding, Renia explained.

The people in the small town are descendants of the old gold panners.

Even though no one goes into the mountains to pan for gold nowadays, inherently, people have a special fondness for adventure stories.

Ninety percent of the people in the town love hiking and camping in the mountains.

The remaining ten percent are the elderly who don't have the energy.

If someone were to tell their adventure story in the tavern, and tell it well, surely there would be applause.

And Chen Wen could seize the opportunity to ask for tips and make some money.

To be honest, Chen Wen still felt it was unreliable.

But by this time, Renia had already pushed him into the tavern.

Seeing Renia return, the townspeople clamored in dialects, seeming to want Renia to sing a few more songs.

But Renia pushed Chen Wen onto her singing stage instead.

To be honest, even though he was socially anxious—like a social terrorist—Chen Wen was feeling a bit nervous.

Because there sure were a lot of people.

At this moment, Renia loudly said: "Hey everyone, it's story time again!"

"Standing next to me is... what's your name again?"

"Chen Wen."

Chen Wen awkwardly scratched his head, as she didn't even know his name.

"Alright, this Mr. Chen Wen is a very impressive adventurer!"

Adventurer!

The keyword was triggered, even the rough guys drinking couldn't help but look over.

The tipsy Laird loudly said to his drinking buddy, "Hey, this is my guest, he's the champion of the Desert Death Battle!"

"Hic~ I know that guy, his name is Chen Wen, this guy is also named Chen Wen, what a coincidence!"

"You fool, it's the same person!"

"Damn it, how much did you drink?"

...

"Alright, how much you drink isn't important, what's important is that this adventurer is going to share his exploration stories with us!"

Renia promptly steered the conversation back, pushing Chen Wen to the front of the stage: "You might have heard, or even seen the adventurer's pets, this pure black lynx and golden eagle, how about he starts with how they were tamed, what do you all think?"

"I just heard the lynx story, it was fantastic!"

"Adventure stories, huh, haven't heard such stories in a long time."

"Great! Let's hear it!"

A deep voice came from the corner, Chen Wen followed the voice and saw it was the Inuit farmer—Nanuha.

He raised his glass, shouting, "Hey Bill, get our adventurer a beer! Let him clear his throat, put it on my tab!"

The bartender cheerfully handed a large mug of beer to Chen Wen: "Adventurer, looking forward to your exciting story!"

The drunken men clamored, urging Chen Wen to start.

Inside the tavern, Renia stirred up everyone's enthusiasm.

Of course, this was also related to Chen Wen's fame.

Plus, having the living lynx and golden eagle next to Chen Wen made the impact of the real thing much stronger than words.

Once Renia had whipped up enough excitement, she cheerfully said, "The story is free, but our adventurer is facing some difficulties..."

After briefly outlining Chen Wen's current predicament, Renia continued: "If anyone thinks the story is wonderful, they're welcome to sponsor our adventurer, anyway, adventurer, it's your time to shine."

Chen Wen took the microphone, and all his nervousness disappeared.

He downed a large gulp of beer, relaxing completely.

Telling stories?

This is what I excel at!

Meanwhile, Hua Yun was completely bewildered.

What?

What exactly is happening now?
