PFC Chapter 22 Second Attempt to Climb a Tree
Chapter 22 Second Attempt to Climb a Tree
After a moment of fear, Cang Nian stopped climbing trees.
This was terrifying; he's still a bit shaken.
After resting for a while, the hottest part of the day, midday, had passed, and Cangnian took Tiger Brother to continue their running exercise.
For now, he's not going to climb the tree. He'll try again tomorrow when he's recovered.
However, he dared not continue climbing blindly like that.
It's not shameful to ask Tiger Mom for help once because you've climbed too high and can't get down.
But if you need to ask for help again for this reason and fall twice in the same place, that would be too embarrassing.
For the next half day, Cangnian followed the original plan and filled his schedule to the brim. Until the sun set, he finally completed the accumulation of proficiency in six levels of jogging skills in one day!
Having completed their day's tasks, the family of three returned to their nest and slept soundly.
……
Fourteen days after birth.
As dawn broke, the family of three arrived at an open space not far from the cave.
Cangnian and his brother Hudi began another day of training.
Since she had eaten yesterday, Tiger Mom was fine and just leisurely lay to the side, watching her two sons exercise.
Meanwhile, the various animals that came to drink from the stream nearby dared not approach, especially the herbivores on the tiger mother's menu. They would keep one eye on the water while drinking, and the other eye on the tiger mother, ready to run away at any moment.
However, the tiger mother, who had just eaten, was not concerned about their vigilance. What she needed to guard against now was some unsuspecting creature that might come and attack the two cubs.
To save effort, the tiger mother would occasionally let out a loud roar to scare away the surrounding animals.
This is undoubtedly an extremely domineering act. Just for Cangnian and Hudi's "play", they occupied a large area of precious high-quality water source.
However, as the queen of this jungle and a apex predator in the food chain, Tiger Mom has the right to do so. Even if she can speak, no other animal dares to say a word against her!
Meanwhile, Cang Nian was jogging slowly, maintaining even breathing, and keeping his speed at a level that allowed him to run for a long time without feeling too relaxed.
Today, his goal is to accumulate level 7 proficiency in jogging!
As he continued to eat and digest, his body grew rapidly. Even if his skill proficiency did not improve, the improvement in his physical fitness would make him faster and faster.
Combined with the system's skill proficiency enhancement, he is now improving every moment.
Therefore, we cannot be complacent. The purpose of exercise is not to achieve any fixed goal, but to exhaust our physical strength and unleash the potential hidden within our bodies.
Therefore, you should continuously adjust your exercise goals according to your body's growth progress in order to achieve the best exercise results.
[Ding! Jogging 1000m, jogging skill proficiency +1! (12/100)]
After a morning of practice, Cangnian successfully accumulated three levels of proficiency in his jogging skill. As the sun grew stronger, he could only take Tiger Brother back to the shade of a tree and rest with his tongue lolling out.
Zhizhi~!
Just as the two little ones were resting, they suddenly heard a squeaking sound coming from above.
Looking up, I saw the little sable from yesterday mimicking the two brothers sticking out their tongues to cool off, perched on a pine tree about three or four meters above the ground, pretending to be very hot.
Awooooo~!
This infuriated Tiger Brother. His not-so-bright mind recalled what had happened yesterday, and he got up and howled at the little sable in the tree.
However, the little sable was not afraid at all. It even turned its head, wagged its tail and wiggled its butt to provoke the tiger brother.
"This little thing is really cheeky..."
Cang Nian wasn't so easily provoked, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
However, upon seeing the little sable, Cang Nian's mind began to stir again.
The sun has been too strong lately to go jogging, so I'll try climbing trees instead.
Although yesterday's experience still left him a little scared.
But how can one master such a great skill without overcoming psychological barriers?
After a brief internal struggle, Cang Nian took a deep breath, took two steps back, and with a powerful running start, leaped up the tree trunk!
However, having learned his lesson yesterday, he dared not blindly climb again.
[Ding! Climbed 1m, climbing skill proficiency +1! (16/100)]
Upon receiving the system notification, which meant that the current height was one meter, Cang Nian stopped.
Then, recalling the transformation he made before Tiger Mom came down from the tree, he turned around and looked back.
Then, with a thud, it fell off the tree.
His skills weren't yet refined; when he turned around, his legs got tangled, and he accidentally lost his grip.
Fortunately, the height was only one meter, which is not too high for Cang Nian, who is already forty centimeters long. He fell and it hurt a little, but he was not injured.
Zhizhi~!
Seeing that Cangnian only dared to climb the tree at such a low height and even fell down, the little sable in the tree burst into laughter.
Cangnian completely ignored this.
When learning a new skill, how can you avoid failure?
Failure is the mother of success. Try it a few more times, and once you get the hang of it, you'll definitely become proficient!
Prepare yourself mentally again, review the reasons for the previous failure, devise a solution, and then climb the tree once more.
[Ding! Climbed 1m, climbing skill proficiency +1! (17/100)]
He stopped at a height of one meter again. Cang Nian tried to turn around again. This time, his limbs did not fight, and he successfully turned around. Then he took advantage of the momentum to run on the tree trunk.
However, due to the excessive speed, Cang Nian lost his balance and his tiger face made intimate contact with the ground, causing a painful slam.
Zhizhi~!
This time, the little sable's mockery was still present.
But Cang Nian refused to believe it. After catching his breath and waiting for his face to stop hurting so much, he climbed the tree again.
[Ding! Climbed 1m, climbing skill proficiency +1! (18/100)]
Turn around, turn around, dive, kick!
Bang~!
The old man landed lightly with his four claws, climbing up and down the tree in one smooth motion!
"Phew... I finally succeeded!"
After suffering two setbacks, he finally succeeded on the third attempt, which greatly pleased Cang Nian.
My efforts have definitely paid off!
Zhizhi~!
Seeing that Cangnian had succeeded, the little sable was stunned for a moment, then it jumped up a few meters in the tree and then rushed down again, repeating this three times. Then it looked at Cangnian and squeaked.
Clearly, Cangnian successfully climbed up and down the tree. Feeling a bit embarrassed after its earlier mockery, it demonstrated how easy it was to go up and down, indicating that Cangnian still needed to practice its tree-climbing skills!
Seeing this, Cangnian was not angry. Instead, he looked at his brother tiger and patted its rump.
Huh~?
Tiger Brother looked at Cangnian with a puzzled expression, completely bewildered.
"Ow~!"
Cangnian raised its paw, pointed to the tree trunk, and gestured for it to try climbing the tree as well.
Ouch~!
Tiger Brother could understand such a simple gesture, and he quickly shook his head and took two steps back.
It just saw Cangnian fall twice, the second time landing face-first, it looked painful!
"Ow~!"
Seeing that this guy was backing down again, Cang Nian was exasperated and then pointed to the little sable in the tree.
If you can't climb trees, you'll be mocked by that little thing for the rest of your life!
The little sable was quite cooperative. When it saw Cang Nian pointing at it, it turned around, wagged its tail and wiggled its butt, showing a mocking attitude.
Ouch~!
Tiger Brother couldn't stand it anymore. His lazy gaze suddenly hardened, and he nodded.
It wants to learn to climb trees!
It's going to catch that little thing!
