I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

The mother bear trembled all over, not daring to defy Old Lu, even with him short of one arm, it still feared him.

"Knock it like this, understand?" Lu Yuan grabbed its bear paw, providing one-on-one coaching, "Hit it hard! There'll be a reward for hitting!"

"Bang!"

Under Lu Yuan's hands-on guidance, the mother bear tried it out, then received a small pomegranate as a reward.

Uru?

Another hit, another pomegranate.

It stood there, greatly shocked, its massive bear head looking left and right, suspicious and confused.

The mother bear seemed to ponder over the connection between hammering and receiving pomegranates.

Forget it, no more thinking, just hammer away!

If you hammer you'll have something to eat, you can't lose.

"Boom!"

The hammer swept through the air, a black afterimage flashed by, and gravel flew everywhere.

A big pit was hammered out of the ground!

Lu Yuan covered his eyes and roared angrily, "You almost hit your own damn toes, you blockhead! Are you trying to commit suicide?"

The bear's head turned around, emitting a look of confusion.

The Junk Cat, having pieced itself together, scraped over with a "creak creak," using two thick pieces of iron to protect its bear paws: "Comrade, you should actually let it smash its own foot."

"That way, when its lower body is paralyzed and it has no mobility, it'll be able to work here without being distracted. After all, the upper body is enough."

Lu Yuan shook slightly in amazement, considering the feasibility of this plan.

As it turned out, the mother bear wasn't too stupid. After experiencing a "toe crisis," it gradually mastered the accuracy of hammering.

And Lu Yuan also extended the hammer handle a bit so that it no longer hit itself.

Indeed, the food reward system was effective. Within just three days, without Lu Yuan overseeing the work, the bear itself began to hammer excitedly.

It had now become a serious-working Palu!

Add to that it was a bear with "Monster Power" ability, its explosive force was far greater than Lu Yuan's, and its success rate in shattering gems was much larger than his.

"Only if you hit the target will you get to eat, miss and there's nothing to eat."

"The demands on you will keep on increasing."

As for the tasks of cooling down the extracted gems and then putting them back in the furnace, they are relatively complicated, but the mechanical cat could do it—it's more eager than anyone to kill that "Demon." If there is any movement in the Black Gem, it reacts the fastest.

Of course, the Demon named "Shadow Illumination," certainly exhausted its energy, it had no resistance left.

...

As for the wolf pack, well, nothing much was going on.

Spring arrived, and the wolf pack began hunting normally, occasionally bringing back some game to offer the "Wolf King"... Lu Yuan mainly provided snacks, most of the hunting was still done by themselves.

And Old Wolf fell into a devilishly enchanting and wild state once more, embarking on his grand breeding venture.

He was unsatisfied with just these few female wolves and went off to deceive new young ones!

Lu Yuan suddenly realized that he now possessed a mature Palu army, composed of a cat, a bear, a wolf.

With the establishment of the industrial assembly line, he didn't need to lift a finger, had ample food and clothing, plenty of money, and few worries—was this the joy of being a capitalist?

Today, he'd start writing a novel: "Being a Capitalist on Pangu Continent"...

Since he was free anyhow, he began to concentrate wholly on using the Extraordinary Spark to heal his body.

Having one less arm was truly a hassle.

...

And so, time passed day by day, and spring left giving way to summer.

Lu Yuan's 402nd day on the Pangu Continent...

The Meida Civilization region's summer was not scorching, with high temperatures around only 30 degrees Celsius.

The Primitive Forest once again bloomed with life, buzzing with the incessant sounds of insects, and the dreaded poisonous bugs and snakes could be seen everywhere.

The Scorpion Army and the Snake King Army, which had moved away, had moved back again.

The numbers of both armies had decreased by about fifty percent.

Departing with high spirits, they returned as defeated and diminished forces.

It seemed, the outside world was not so easy to navigate after all...

Over the months, Lu Yuan's burnt skin had shed and been replaced.

The emergence of new skin, smooth and delicate, gave him the look of a city dweller once again.

His severed left arm had also slowly begun to regenerate.

However, the muscles on this arm had not fully grown yet, and for the time being, it was fairly weak; it needed much more time to recover completely.

"Injuries to muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal; looks like I've weathered it through!"

He clenched his fist and threw out a punch with all his might!

The fierce punch cut through the air, carrying with it the momentum of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!

In these four months, all the energy from the Extraordinary Spark had gone towards healing his body, and his attribute values hadn't changed much.

But Lu Yuan always felt like he had grown a bit stronger...

This feeling was subtle.

Perhaps... he discovered his advantage, the ability to trade injury for life when facing powerful enemies?!

The innate combat ability of the fearsome erect apes was actually not weak; once enraged, defeating dogs and leopards of the same weight was a breeze.

The reason most people can't beat wild animals is because they're afraid of getting hurt.

In modern consciousness, getting hurt is equivalent to losing, and to many, the pain of being bitten is unbearable.

Lu Yuan used to be afraid of injuries, too.

Being alone, an injury could likely mean death...

But now, he had companions (Palu), and as long as he had a breath left, these companions would always take him to a safe place and let him properly heal.
