[Ding, congratulations on completing the kill of 100 F-grade race monsters, Minotaurs, the [Myriad Races Bestiary] takes effect, congratulations on obtaining the F-grade skill [Trample]!]

[Trample]

Grade: F-grade group control skill

Effect: Releasing the skill will cause the terrain within 3M to crack, and enemy targets within the range will be stunned for 1S!

Stamina Consumption: 50

Cooldown Time: 30S

Xu Kun breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was within his calculations. He easily solved the Minotaur group with a boss in charge!

Xu Kun was already used to the rapid notification sounds. This harvest was undeniably rich!

He obtained an F-grade talent, Minotaur Strength, which can normally accompany his talent, and an F-grade group control skill that is more powerful after adapting to him. Although [Trample] lacks a damage bonus, the range of stun control greatly improves Xu Kun's close combat ability!

But these are not all!

After killing the entire Minotaur group of 200 small monsters plus a boss in one fell swoop, Xu Kun can rest easy and deal with this boss in front of him!

He kicked away the small mountain body blocking his path, and underneath it, a large pile of golden light made Xu Kun couldn't help but swallow his saliva!

"A gorgeous explosion, let me see, what good things are there!"

The first thing he picked up was the largest number of glittering fragments. As expected, this is the universal currency between the myriad races - Spirit Stone Shards!

[E-grade Spirit Stone Shards]*20

Introduction: A naturally formed crystal after the Haotian Pagoda's own power dissipates. As a low-level E-grade Spirit Stone, it is easy to break into fragments. Every ten fragments can be re-refined into a complete E-grade Spirit Stone through special means!

Function: Spirit Stones are crystals formed after the Haotian Pagoda's own power dissipates, and have a wide range of uses. They can be used as energy power for creating E-grade equipment, including for arranging E-grade formations...

A full twenty fragments, and through the blessing of Heaven's Chosen - Child of Fortune, they were upgraded from the original F-grade to E-grade!

"The price of F-grade is already as high as 10,000 Human Race coins. My E-grade fragments, it should be no problem to count them as 100,000!"

Xu Kun happily put these twenty fragments into his pocket. This is a considerable income. According to Xu Kun's calculation method, these inconspicuous fragments are worth at least two million!

Enough for his and his mother's daily expenses for a lifetime!

Of course, such a small harvest would not be worthy of the Minotaur Chieftain boss!

After scavenging the Spirit Stone Shards, Xu Kun focused on other things!

There were not many things left, namely a glove, a bronze ring, and a book!

Xu Kun rubbed his small hands, and he could roughly judge what these three items were from their appearance!

First, he picked up the glove and took a look. As expected, it was a piece of equipment!

[Minotaur Gauntlets]

Grade: E-grade

Level: 5

Strength: +10

Physical Attack: +15

Durability: 100/100

Introduction: Gloves sewn from the toughest leather on the Minotaur's body, with good attribute bonuses!

Xu Kun immediately curled his lips. With such a small attribute bonus, he dares to say it's good!

Poor Xu Kun, used to his A-grade suit, actually looks down on this E-grade equipment!

Disgusting as it is, he can equip it at level 5, so Xu Kun put on these ordinary-looking cowhide gloves without hesitation!

Then he looked at the bronze ring.

After seeing the attributes, Xu Kun was even more disappointed!

[Ring of Luck]

Luck Value: +1

That's it, no grade, no introduction, and no basic attribute bonus, just a luck value +1 that Xu Kun no longer needs!

"Isn't this a scam? You should at least add some basic attributes!"

Annoyed as Xu Kun was, he was just unhappy that a piece of equipment had finally dropped, but it was useless to him!

"Hey, I wonder what price this little thing can fetch!"

The appearance wasn't good either. Xu Kun didn't even bother to wear it, throwing it directly into his backpack, hoping it could sell for a good price later!

But he estimated that the luck attribute, which was useless to him, should be something others would flock to. The price should be able to meet his requirements!

What remained was just a book!

The two pieces of equipment in a row hadn't piqued Xu Kun's interest, but this last book made his eyes light up!

[Charge]

Rank: B

Locks onto a target within 20 meters, the target cannot dodge, movement speed *2, deals (physical attack *2) physical damage to the target, stuns for 3 seconds!

Stamina Consumption: 100

Cooldown Time: 10 seconds

"Isn't this just an upgraded version of the Minotaur Chieftain's Minotaur Charge!" Xu Kun exclaimed, his eyes wide.

But after calming down, Xu Kun clicked on the metal bracelet on his arm, entered [Charge], and started searching!

Soon, the information about this skill came up.

The [Charge] skill is a must-have skill for many melee classes after a successful job change. It increases movement speed, locks onto targets, adds control, and has a good damage bonus, which leads to a frenzy whenever the Charge skill book appears on the market!

Not to say that everyone has one, but it is an indispensable skill for melee classes, with miraculous effects in both battles and monster hunting!

Xu Kun flipped through many pages and even saw some bigshots with names followed by 100+ levels expressing their opinions on the [Charge] skill, as well as some tricks used in actual combat!

Finally, there was the point that Xu Kun was most concerned about—the price of this skill book!

From some purchase information, it can be seen that the price of the [Charge] skill book has been increasing year by year. Ten years ago, it was still priced at 300,000 Human Race Coins, but it has skyrocketed to 1 million for purchase last year!

Some people are even so eager to buy this skill that they have made moves to negotiate prices privately!

According to relevant sources, the price of [Charge] this year will be no less than 1.2 million Human Race Coins!

"Holy crap, that's so expensive!" Xu Kun clicked his tongue.

But thinking about it, he could accept it. After reading a bunch of posts, he found that the [Charge] skill, when applied in actual combat, is not just a skill to get close to kill enemies, but can also be used to lock onto teammates and complete god-tier operations to escape encirclement!

In comparison, his own A-grade skill, [Explosive Fireball], apart from being a fire-attribute enhanced skill and having a subsequent ignition effect, is not even as practical as this B-grade skill!

1.2 million ah, this is definitely an astronomical figure for Xu Kun, who just graduated from high school!

But after only hesitating for a moment, Xu Kun directly tore open the skill book, and the skill book became one of his own skills!

Everything external is illusory. In this era of great strife, only improving one's own abilities is the most practical. If he were to sell, he wouldn't sell the first one he hasn't even learned yet. With the blessing of the Favored One-Son of Destiny buff, Xu Kun will have many ways to make money in the future!

After dealing with the Minotaur Chieftain's drops, Xu Kun looked at the small mountain next to him, which was at least three times his height!

Looking like a fly rubbing its hands together, Xu Kun approached the still-warm corpse of the Minotaur Chieftain!

"Hehe, corpse looting, corpse looting, you're a boss, it's not too much to give me a few pieces of beef, right?"

Minotaur Chieftain: (????) Meeting you is truly my blessing. You killed my clansmen, destroyed my beloved consort, and now you won't even let go of my corpse!

Xu Kun didn't care what grievances the dead Minotaur Chieftain still had. Physical transcendence is the greatest mercy for you!

Ding! You have picked up F-grade material - Minotaur Chieftain Meat*10. The Favored One-Son of Destiny buff is activated, upgraded to D-grade material - Mountain-Cleaving Buffalo Meat*10!

[Mountain-Cleaving Buffalo Meat]

Rank: D

Function: After consumption, Strength +1, single person consumption limit 3!

"Oh? Could it be because the Minotaur Chieftain is a boss, its materials are already considered E-grade materials, and after the buff, it directly gave D-grade materials!"

Things that can directly add basic attributes are good stuff, even if each person can only eat three times. If an underage person consumes it, the increased 3 points of Strength would be incredible!

Just don't know if it can exceed the limit value of 10!

Just this value judgment alone makes the price of these Mountain-Cleaving Buffalo Meat astronomical. No matter which era or race, there are class divisions!

Those families with long-standing traditions will inevitably try their best to spend heavily to buy this kind of item that can add basic attributes so that their descendants can better pass the novice trials!

This is considered a luxury item!

It's hard to judge the value, but like [Charge], Xu Kun will definitely choose to strengthen himself first. Without any hesitation, he ate three pieces of Mountain-Cleaving Buffalo Meat. Strength +3, the satisfaction on the tip of his tongue, and the improvement of his own basic attributes made Xu Kun exclaim with satisfaction!

Such a large boss corpse naturally wouldn't only have one kind of material. Xu Kun continued to loot the corpse!

Ding! You have picked up F-grade material - Minotaur Chieftain Hide*1. The Favored One-Son of Destiny buff is activated, upgraded to D-grade material - Mountain-Cleaving Buffalo Hide*1!

An entire piece of buffalo hide was stripped off. The original flesh and blood had been stored in Xu Kun's backpack by Xu Kun, revealing a grim giant skeleton!

[Mountain-Cleaving Buffalo Hide]

Rank: D

Function: Material used to manufacture D-grade defensive equipment!

"Is there anything else, little buffalo?"

Xu Kun, not giving up, continued to feel around the skeleton that didn't even have a shred of meat left on it.

He actually managed to find two things!

[Mountain-Cleaving Buffalo Bone]

Rank: D-Grade

Function: A useless skeleton. Perhaps you can use it to make soup, or display it in a showcase!

Xu Kun: ...

[Mountain-Cleaving Buffalo Horn]*2

Rank: D-Grade

Function: Can be used to repair the durability of D-Grade and below weapons!

"Durability?"

Xu Kun raised the Flame Spirit Sword in his hand. This A-Grade weapon didn't seem to have any durability to speak of. However, the Minotaur Gauntlets he just got had 100 durability points!

Materials that are useless to me, but I can consider selling them. I'm sure there are plenty of people who want them!

The Minotaur Chieftain's value had been completely squeezed out. Only a pool of blood remained on the spot, proving that it had been there, and then it was gone~

Master Xu, who plucks feathers from passing geese, naturally wouldn't let go of the other small monsters after picking up the boss's loot!

After a flurry of activity, he also harvested a lot of materials!

[Scaled Buffalo Meat]*30

Rank: E-Grade

Function: After consumption, physical attack +10 for one hour!

[Scaled Buffalo Hide]*20

Rank: E-Grade

Function: Material used to create E-Grade armor!

[Burnt Minotaur Meat] + [Torn Minotaur Hide] were worthless items. After picking up a few, Xu Kun lost interest in picking up anymore!

Old Xu here has high standards now, so he naturally can't stand these petty broken things~

As for the total of 50 [Scaled Buffalo Meat] and [Scaled Buffalo Hide], they were naturally picked up from the 50 Scaled Buffaloes that Xu Kun had killed by kiting earlier. This also made Xu Kun sigh again:

Wrath of the Fire Dragon is really expensive!
