Time flies!
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
There were over 20 corpses lying at Qin Feng's feet.
Thirteen corpses belonged to level 3 beasts, and eleven were from level 6 beasts...
He had personally slain those level 6 beasts!
The level 3 beast corpses were obtained through trades.
He had already extracted all the resources, and his harvest was plentiful.
As he sat there, smoking a cigarette and silently surveying the corpses scattered around him, he realized that no more beasts were approaching.
It seemed that he had nearly wiped out the beasts in this area, and it was time for him to move on.
Speaking of which, there were five types of level 3 beasts.
He had already obtained the maximum number of resources from four of them, with only one white fox left.
Similarly, there were only four types of level 6 beasts, and he had already collected resources from three of them, with only the Dark Night Owl lacking two.
Originally, he planned to head to the level 7 beast area after fully exploiting the level 6 resources. Now, it seemed unnecessary to wait any longer.
Since the Dark Night Owl had not appeared in this area for a while, he would have to search for it elsewhere.
Thanks to the map rewards and the Beast Illustrations unlocked for levels 1 to 10 by Tiandao, he knew about the five types of level 3 beasts and four types of level 6 beasts.
Of course, the Beast Illustrations only covered ordinary beasts and didn't include mutants or king-ranked creatures.
Qin Feng exhaled a stream of smoke leisurely before flicking the cigarette butt into the fire.
He checked his level progress: level 5 (2570/3000).
Not far from level 6.
Next, he glanced at the rankings.
[No. 911 Novice Village Level Ranking]
First place: Qin Feng, level 5
Second place: Liu Xuan, level 4
Second place: Longshan, level 4
Third place: Wu Yong, level 3
Fifth place: Gu Ming, level 3
Sixth place: Lei Jue, level 3
Seventh place: Yu Wen, level 3
…
Excellent! Excellent!
Two hours later, Liu Xuan and Longshan had both been promoted to level 4.
Additionally, 21 more individuals had reached level 3.
All those who had made it into the top 100 were at least level 2.
It was evident that everyone was putting in a lot of effort.
Qin Feng was quite pleased.
After all, these people were his fellow compatriots from the Dragon Country, and he naturally hoped that they could become stronger.
After experiencing the resource gambling incident, he realized that there might be future attempts by other countries on Blue Star to sabotage the Dragon Kingdom's interests.
With this in mind, he switched to the chat channel.
Despite the late hour, the chat was still lively on the channel.
The diligence of the people from Longguo was evident.
Qin Feng sent two messages directly.
Qin Feng: "From now on, we will only acquire the corpses of level 3 vicious beast white foxes, and we'll stop collecting corpses from other level 3 vicious beasts."
Qin Feng: "We will continue to acquire corpses of level 4 and level 5 beasts. I want to remind everyone that the number of level 1 exquisite steel knives is limited, so it's first-come, first-served!"
"Wow! Big Qin Feng has spoken!"
"Wow! Our idol! I'm so excited to see Qin Feng!"
"My God! Boss Qin Feng, do you only want the corpse of a level 3 white fox? What about the corpses of other level 3 beasts?"
"Woo~! Woo~! I was just thinking, if I kill another level 3 beast, I can exchange some barbecue with you! I didn't expect you to need it!"
"Upstairs, Qin Feng's boss made it very clear that he needs the corpses of level 4 and 5 beasts the most now. Let's go hunt and kill level 4 beasts!"
"Haha! Upstairs, our team has already hunted down 2 level 4 beasts. As long as we collect the corpse of another level 4 beast, we can exchange a level 1 steel knife with Boss Qin Feng!"
"You guys are so efficient! It took our team a long time to surround and kill a level 4 beast!"
"Damn it! You guys are amazing! You can even hunt down level 4 beasts!"
Qin Feng felt relieved to see this.
These people were already hunting level 4 beasts.
That would save him a lot of time.
At that moment, a message popped up in the chat channel, catching everyone's attention.
It was from an elegant middle-aged man named Gu Ming.
Qin Feng was very familiar with him because this person was consistently in the top five of the ranking list.
Gu Ming: "Boss Qin Feng, I just hunted down a level 2 mutant beast and got a black iron treasure chest. I opened it and got a level 1 item—resource gambling order!"
As soon as the news was released, the chat channel erupted with excitement.
"Wow! Resource Gambling Order!"
"Great stuff! Amazing!"
"Boss Gu Ming, then you should initiate a betting order! Let's have another resource bet with the other novice villages!"
"Yeah! I really want to bet on resources again! Then we can get 20 attributes again, and the resources will be doubled again!"
"Haha! Those words resonate with me! The last time was so cool, I really want to do it again!"
"Upstairs, be careful! What if we lose?"
"Haha! We have Qin Feng in our village, can we lose?"
"Gu Ming, are you suggesting we start a resource gambling order with everyone?"
Gu Ming: "No. There are specific requirements for using this token, and I can't use it. I want to use this token to make a transaction with Qin Feng."
Seeing this, Qin Feng was curious.
Qin Feng: "What deal?"
Gu Ming: "I want to trade this token, along with the novice short knife I have, for a first-order exquisite steel knife. What do you think?"
Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled.
For him, the deal was a good one.
The attack power of Tier 1 weapons generally ranged from 5 to 8 points.
His Tier 1 Steel Knife only had +5 points of attack, which was considered modest among Tier 1 weapons. However, it still held significant appeal for newcomers.
Qin Feng: "Agreed! However, you have to add the corpse of the mutant beast."
Gu Ming: "No problem! I'll give you the corpse! Thank you so much, Qin Feng!"
Gu Ming was overjoyed, his excitement evident in his tone.
Qin Feng: "Meet me at the hyperspace trading channel!"
Gu Ming: "Okay!"
The two then switched to the trading channel.
Soon, they completed the transaction.
Qin Feng presented the items he had collected: a token, a novice dagger, and the corpse of a vicious beast.
The token was entirely black, made of an unidentified material, and engraved with strange runes—it was a resource gambling order.
[Resource Gambling Order: Each novice village will only receive one, and only the village with the highest level is eligible to use it.]
Seeing this, Qin Feng understood why Gu Ming wanted to sell it to him.
[Reminder: After the token is activated, if the village wins, the activator's reward is doubled. If the village loses, the penalty for the initiator is doubled.]
Ah~!
So, the rewards and penalties for the initiator were doubled.
In other words, if the bet was lost, the villagers would lose 20 attributes, while the initiator would lose 40 points.
So, poor Edward!
Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
However, if they won, the activator's reward would also double.
This doubling wasn't just a 40-point attribute reward.
If the activator led the village to victory, the additional 50 attribute points would be doubled to 100 points.
Great stuff!
This token was definitely valuable!
Qin Feng was very pleased.
It was a perfect fit for him.
Unable to contain his excitement, he immediately initiated a resource bet.
[Reminder: Wu Yong exchanged three tier 4 beast corpses for one of your tier 1 exquisite steel knives.]
[Reminder: Hu Neng exchanged your 10 pounds of barbecued meat for the corpse of a level 3 beast white fox.]
[Reminder: Wu Yong exchanged your 10-pound barbecue for a novice short knife.]
At that moment, Tiandao sent a series of reminders.
Good fortune came one after another!
Qin Feng was delighted and quickly retrieved the corpses of those beasts.
He had brought in another good harvest.
