Nan Feng still had plenty of food in his backpack, with Ironclaw Rat Meat and Coo-Coo Bird Meat being the most abundant.
With Redeye Rabbit Meat on hand, Nan Feng had no intention of eating either of those for the time being. Trading them for resources was a great choice.
After thinking for a moment, Nan Feng directly listed both types of food on the Trade Channel.
Ironclaw Rat Meat*1 in exchange for any materials*8.
Coo-Coo Bird Meat*1 in exchange for any materials*8.
Nan Feng had a total of 21 portions of Ironclaw Rat Meat and 13 portions of Coo-Coo Bird Meat. He listed all of them at once.
A large portion of it had been obtained by selling fresh water.
Nan Feng had not set the price too high, because most people could not come up with many materials right now.
Someone soon noticed the food Nan Feng had listed in the Chat Channel.
After all, it was only the first day since the Trade Channel had opened, and there were not many items in it. Nan Feng listed 34 portions of food at once, instantly flooding the channel.
"Damn, where did Boss Nan Feng get so much food?"
"Fuck, some people are starving to death while others are stuffed to death. Can't you share some of that food with us?"
"We're all compatriots. You can't even spare us a little rat meat, and you still want materials in return? Before the transmigration, this Nan Feng would have been a walking reward of 500,000."
"Profiting off a national disaster. Disgusting."
"Boss Nan Feng, can you make it cheaper? Where are we supposed to get that many materials?"
Nan Feng silently watched the Chat Channel without replying.
Making it cheaper was out of the question. Compared to hunting ferocious beasts, chopping trees and gathering stones was far safer.
As for giving food away, that was even more impossible.
Nan Feng was not some saint, much less their father.
In this Primordial World, where people could die at any moment, a saintly heart would only get someone killed faster than everyone else.
At that moment, Liu Daqiang spoke in the Chat Channel as well.
Liu Daqiang: "Honestly, 8 units of materials for 1 portion of food is a great deal! If you think it's not worth it, you can always try hunting ferocious beasts yourselves."
Huang Yuanming: "Exactly. I'm starting to wonder whether this guy called Nan Feng is running a charity."
Tian Zhiping: "But where are we supposed to get that many materials right now? Food this expensive is beyond everyone's means. Isn't this just disgusting?"
Bao Jian: "What does the fact that you can't afford it have to do with anyone else?"
Liu Daqiang: "Exactly. If you can't afford it tonight, can't you collect some materials tomorrow and trade for it then?"
Wu Yuansheng: "For friends who aren't good at fighting, this is at least a source of food. And it only costs 8 units of materials. It really isn't expensive."
Nan Feng himself said nothing, yet many people spoke up for him.
After a little thought, Nan Feng understood why.
In everyone else's eyes, anyone capable of producing so much food on the first day had to be an absolute powerhouse.
Building a good relationship with such a powerhouse would benefit them too.
Of course, Huang Yuanming knew where Nan Feng's food had come from, but he did not reveal it.
After all, the two had just worked together once, so there was at least a fragile friendship between them.
At this point, with Huang Yuanming, Liu Daqiang, and the others chiming in, the tide of opinion in the Chat Channel began to shift.
"That's true. At least this is a source of food. I don't have to fight ferocious beasts anymore."
"Yeah, I've never even killed a chicken in my life. How could I possibly hunt ferocious beasts? Gathering stones and chopping trees is much safer."
"That's right! I'll go chop trees first thing tomorrow morning and try to trade for a portion of food before noon."
"Damn it, there are only 34 portions of food in total. That's not enough to go around... No, I need to sleep early and get up early to chop trees tomorrow!"
"Fuck, so we're competing now? Then I'm going to sleep too. See you!"
For a time, far fewer people were talking in the Chat Channel.
Nan Feng closed the panel and looked at the bonfire in front of him.
"One unit of wood can burn for quite a long time..."
After confirming that he would not freeze to death at night, Nan Feng yawned, lay down on the wooden floor, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Nan Feng woke up.
It had to be said that he had slept very uncomfortably last night.
"A bed really is necessary..."
After stretching and taking a brief rest, Nan Feng slowly opened the door of the Wooden Cabin.
The sunlight outside was bright, and everything was peaceful. The occasional chirp of insects could be heard.
All the ferocious beasts that had gone berserk last night had disappeared.
"It should be safe now, right?"
Nan Feng cautiously walked out of the Wooden Cabin and looked around for a while, but did not find any ferocious beasts nearby.
However, a faint smell of blood drifted over, making Nan Feng frown.
"That is..."
Nan Feng turned his head toward where Huang Peng's corpse had been yesterday.
The corpse was gone, leaving only bloodstains on the ground to prove it had ever existed.
"Eaten that cleanly?"
Nan Feng shook his head and stopped looking.
"Today's goals: reach at least Level 3, upgrade the Wooden Cabin, and preferably find some iron... Oh, right, I also need to check whether there's a water source nearby."
The lack of drinkable fresh water was probably Nan Feng's biggest problem at the moment.
He could not possibly spend 20 units of materials every time to trade Huang Yuanming for fresh water, could he?
That was far too extravagant.
"I'm in a primeval forest full of ferocious beasts. There has to be a water source nearby."
Nan Feng decided to look for water first, hunt ferocious beasts along the way, and gather some stones.
Picking a direction at random, Nan Feng walked forward. About five minutes later, he finally found his first ferocious beast—a Jungle Fowl.
Jungle Fowl: Level: 1 Health Points: 120/120 Mana Points: 15/15 Attack Power: 35 Defense Power: 20
After using Eye of Insight to check the Jungle Fowl's Attributes, Nan Feng raised his hand and fired.
-132!
With 140 points of Attack Power, Nan Feng killed the Jungle Fowl in one shot!
"Taking you down was as easy as killing a chicken."
As Nan Feng put away the Desert Eagle, the Genesis System's notification sounded by his ear.
Ding! You killed a Level 1 ordinary ferocious beast, Jungle Fowl, and gained 5 experience points. Ding! You obtained Fowl Meat*1.
"Chicken meat? It should taste pretty good. I can try it for lunch."
Today was the second day since the transmigration, and a large number of Chosen Ones had yet to successfully kill even their first ferocious beast.
But Nan Feng could already effortlessly one-shot Level 1 ferocious beasts.
"One portion of food is worth 8 units of materials now. Isn't that much easier than chopping trees?"
Nan Feng continued onward and was soon drawn over by a buzzing sound.
Not far away, a fist-sized bee was perched on a flower, collecting nectar!
Dart Bee: Level: 2 Health Points: 380/380 Mana Points: 60/60 Attack Power: 95 Defense Power: 25 Skill: Dart Shot
This was a Level 2 ferocious beast!
While the Dart Bee had yet to notice him, Nan Feng slowly raised the Desert Eagle and aimed at it.
Boom! The gunshot thundered!
-115!
With the target standing still, Nan Feng's accuracy was still decent.
The shot struck the Dart Bee precisely, dealing 115 points of damage.
He only needed four shots to kill it.
But the injured Dart Bee began flying wildly around, making it impossible for Nan Feng to aim!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the stinger at the Dart Bee's tail shot out violently and hit Nan Feng in the abdomen!
-47!
This was the Dart Bee's skill—Dart Shot!
