Hunting Ferocious Beasts

Nan Feng's Destined Divine Weapon options actually included an Arsenal?

"I always thought this was a cold-weapons world. I never expected there to be firearms too?" Nan Feng was stunned.

"And all of my Destined Divine Weapons are F-grade. Am I just unlucky, or is everyone else the same?"

Nan Feng had no way to verify that question right now.

Because the Chat Channel could not be opened during the Destined Divine Weapon Awakening Ceremony.

Nan Feng could not communicate with anyone else.

Nan Feng looked over the five cards twice before finally gritting his teeth and choosing the Arsenal.

It was clearly different from the other four Destined Divine Weapons. Why choose anything else but the Arsenal?

If you were going to be a person, you had to stand out!

You will select [Dilapidated Armory] as your Destined Divine Weapon. Confirm?

Warning: Once a Destined Divine Weapon is selected, it cannot be changed or discarded. Please choose carefully!

Nan Feng stopped overthinking and immediately nodded. "Confirm!"

Ding!

As Nan Feng confirmed his choice, the other four cards turned into specks of starlight and slowly faded away.

Only the Dilapidated Armory remained, slowly flying toward Nan Feng before finally merging into his mind.

The Destined Divine Weapon Awakening Ceremony has been completed!

Please familiarize yourself with your weapon as soon as possible to face the coming dangers.

Good luck!

Nan Feng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as though he had been pricked by needles.

But the sensation came quickly and vanished just as fast.

Nan Feng soon returned to normal.

"The awakening is complete..."

"Let's see what exactly this Destined Divine Weapon of mine is..."

Nan Feng opened his Tactical Watch again. A third option had now appeared on the tactical interface: Personal Information, Chat Channel, and Destined Divine Weapon.

The Chat Channel was vibrating wildly. It seemed that many people had completed their awakenings and were now talking to one another.

Nan Feng ignored the Chat Channel and tapped Destined Divine Weapon instead.

Destined Divine Weapon:

Weapon Name: Dilapidated Armory

Current Grade: Lower F-grade

Type: Backpack

Attributes: Backpack Slots +10

Materials Required for Upgrade: Wood *3, Stone *5

Equipment Unlocked in the Arsenal: Desert Eagle, Wooden Dagger

--As the grade of the Destined Divine Weapon rises, more equipment will be unlocked.

Nan Feng read through the attributes one by one.

"Materials required for upgrade?"

"So this Destined Divine Weapon needs to be upgraded. No wonder they all start at F-grade."

"Now I'm relieved."

Nan Feng had been worried that his Destined Divine Weapon being only F-grade meant it was too worthless.

Now, it seemed that everyone's Destined Divine Weapon started at F-grade.

Nan Feng looked again at the final line on the panel. "Weapons unlocked in the Arsenal? Desert Eagle, Wooden Dagger? What does that mean?"

With a thought, Nan Feng looked toward his backpack.

This backpack was similar to a spatial artifact. It was not the sort Nan Feng carried on his back.

Two slots in the backpack were already occupied: one by a pistol, and the other by a dagger.

And the pistol was shaped exactly like a Desert Eagle!

Nan Feng was overjoyed. "Holy crap, they really gave me a gun? Isn't this a cold-weapons world?"

Nan Feng immediately took out the Desert Eagle and the Wooden Dagger.

Desert Eagle:

Current Grade: Lower F-grade (increases along with the Dilapidated Armory)

Type: Weapon

Attributes: Strength +3, Energy +2

--Each attack consumes 5 Mana and deals damage equal to 100% of Attack Power to the enemy hit.

--Equipment from the Dilapidated Armory.

Wooden Dagger:

Current Grade: Lower F-grade (increases along with the Dilapidated Armory)

Type: Weapon

Attributes: Strength +5

--Each attack deals damage equal to 70%–90% of Attack Power to the enemy.

--Slightly enhances the bleeding effect.

--Equipment from the Dilapidated Armory.

"Uh, that's all the attributes? They seem kind of lousy..."

Nan Feng looked at the Desert Eagle's and Wooden Dagger's attributes and found them rather ordinary.

Afterward, Nan Feng checked his Personal Information and discovered that the equipment section could be opened.

Equipment:

Backpack: Dilapidated Armory

Weapon: Desert Eagle

Top: Worn Shirt

Pants: Worn Jeans

Shoes: Worn Sneakers

Necklace: None

Bracelet: Novice Tactical Watch

Ring: None

Hat: None

Other: None

There was nothing particularly special about the equipment section.

After studying it a little longer, Nan Feng opened the Chat Channel.

The Chat Channel was already buzzing with activity.

"Brothers, what Destined Divine Weapons did you pick? I agonized over it for ages before finally choosing a wooden sword."

"I picked a sword too. An F-grade Destined Divine Weapon—Rotting Wooden Sword. Strength +2, Stamina +3. Are your attributes the same as mine?"

"Brother above, mine is exactly the same as yours. Looks like our Destined Divine Weapons are identical."

"I chose an Unsharpened Wooden Katana. Strength +3, Stamina +2. The attributes aren't much different from yours."

Seeing this, Nan Feng nodded.

All of those pieces of equipment added up to five basic attributes in total. There was not much difference between them.

But compared to the others, Nan Feng had a slight advantage: he possessed two weapons and could switch between them.

Moreover, the Desert Eagle could attack from range. In this dangerous world, that would undoubtedly improve his chances of survival.

Nan Feng had wanted to keep reading, but the system's voice sounded again just then.

Announcement: It has been detected that all Chosen Ones have completed the Destined Divine Weapon Awakening Ceremony. From this moment onward, you may leave your Wooden Cabins, hunt the ferocious beasts of this world, and obtain resources.

Warning: In 30 days, this world will face its first Beast Tide. Please raise your strength as quickly as possible and survive the Beast Tide.

Warning: This is a real world. Once you die, you will vanish completely and cannot be revived!

Good luck!

"The Beast Tide in thirty days..."

A sense of urgency rose in Nan Feng's heart. He wanted to increase his strength as soon as possible so that he could face the disaster thirty days from now.

Closing the panel, Nan Feng held the Desert Eagle and cautiously pushed the wooden door open a crack.

As for the Wooden Dagger, Nan Feng had no plans to use it for the moment.

Close combat was too dangerous.

Outside the Wooden Cabin was a dense forest, with no one else in sight besides Nan Feng.

"Looks like everyone's starting locations aren't together."

Nan Feng hid behind the door and observed for a while. Only after confirming that there was no danger outside did he quietly step out.

The sky was clear and the air was fresh.

The environment here was excellent.

Nan Feng turned back to look at his Wooden Cabin and found that it had attributes too.

Crumbling Shack:

Grade: F-grade

Health Points: 5000

Defense Power: 100

Trait: +5 Health per minute, +5 Mana per minute

Materials Required for Upgrade: Wood *100, Stone *60

Nan Feng could not help but freeze as he looked at the Wooden Cabin's attributes.

"This tiny cabin actually needs so many materials to upgrade?"

"And it has 5,000 Health Points and 100 Defense Power too..."

"Looks like if I run into a ferocious beast that's too powerful later, I can hide inside the cabin."

Nan Feng understood.

For the first few days, the Wooden Cabin would be the strongest shield protecting them Chosen Ones.

Having guessed the Wooden Cabin's purpose, Nan Feng did not linger and began walking into the distance.

He needed to hunt the nearby ferocious beasts and raise his strength quickly, lest he die in the Beast Tide thirty days later.

After walking for only a few minutes, Nan Feng discovered his first ferocious beast: a palm-sized rat!

The rat was gnawing its teeth against a large tree and clearly had not noticed Nan Feng yet.

Without making a sound, Nan Feng raised the Desert Eagle and slowly aimed it at the rat.

With the Desert Eagle equipped, Nan Feng's Strength had reached 12, and his Attack Power had reached 60.

"Sixty Attack Power should be enough to kill a little rat, right?"

After a brief moment of aiming, Nan Feng decisively pulled the trigger!

Five points of Mana flowed from Nan Feng's right hand into the Desert Eagle. A Mana Bullet shot from the barrel and flew straight toward the little rat in the distance!

Hearing the gunshot, the little rat tried to dodge, but the bullet was too fast and instantly struck one of its hind legs!

-45!

A translucent red number appeared above the little rat's head.

That shot had taken away 45 of its Health Points.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

The little rat shrieked several times, dragging its injured hind leg as it charged at Nan Feng!

"So fast!"

Nan Feng was startled. He quickly took several steps back and fired another shot!
