Dismantling the Savage Bear Corpse, A Great Harvest

Cao Xing nodded inwardly. Only by displaying great strength could he make his subordinates more loyal.

It was the same principle in any world.

He looked at Assam beside him, then took out a glowing red crystal from his personal backpack.

This was the Beginner Heart of Strength he had just obtained after defeating the Savage Bear.

Beginner Heart of Strength: Can only be obtained from some powerful creatures.

Item Effect: Allows survivors or territory members who have reached level 10 to undergo advancement. After advancement, all attributes will increase by 100%.

In the Frozen Era, every advancement brought about terrifying improvements.

At least a 100% increase in attributes.

Without relying on other means, it was very difficult to fight beyond one's own level.

And Assam was already a level 10 creature, meeting the advancement conditions.

Thus, Cao Xing directly tossed the Heart of Strength to him.

Assam instinctively caught it. Holding the power-filled crystal in his hand, his eyes were filled with surprise.

He asked in disbelief, "Lord, can I really have this precious Heart of Strength?"

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Assam, in this operation, you have proven your bravery and astuteness. I believe you are worthy of even greater power."

"So, please accept this Heart of Strength, and let us build a more prosperous territory together!"

Assam was moved to tears. He pounded his chest with one hand, stood up straight, and said excitedly, "I am willing to sacrifice my life for you, my Lord."

'Assam' has been moved by your actions. Loyalty has increased. Current Loyalty: 95 (Willing to die for you).

Seeing this notification, Cao Xing's heart bloomed with joy.

When loyalty reaches above 90, these soldiers enter a state of absolute devotion. Even if you ordered them to their deaths, they would carry it out without hesitation.

This way, he no longer had to worry about Assam rebelling.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

Assam crushed the Heart of Strength directly in front of Cao Xing.

"Crack!"

The sound of glass shattering echoed, and a red mist was absorbed by Assam.

In the astonished gazes of everyone present, Assam's aura rapidly climbed, and in the blink of an eye, it reached a terrifying level.

A system prompt appeared.

Your territory member: Assam has completed advancement. All attributes have increased by 100%.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Assam's attributes after his advancement.

Frost Wolf Knight: Assam (Tier 2)

Race: Human Level: 10 (1722/100002)

Health: 2040

Attack Power: 274~289

Armor: 24~274

Attributes: Strength 114, Agility 108, Spirit 96, Constitution 102

Hunger: 72

Loyalty: 95

"Good, good, good!"

Cao Xing looked at Assam's status panel with satisfaction.

Undoubtedly, this advancement had brought about a qualitative leap in his strength.

Ilena, standing nearby, looked at Assam's transformation with envy.

Noticing her gaze, Cao Xing said, "Ilena, perform well. When you reach level 10, I will also find a Heart of Strength for you to break through to Tier 2."

Upon hearing this, Ilena's narrow snake eyes widened instantly. She looked at Cao Xing excitedly and said, "Thank you for your generosity, my Lord!"

"Ilena is willing to give everything for you, my Lord!"

'Ilena' has been moved by your words. Loyalty has increased. Current Loyalty: 85.7

As expected, his loyalty had increased again.

Cao Xing was overjoyed. A qualified lord must be skilled at making empty promises.

Then, Cao Xing began to examine the two rewards given for the first kill of the Snowland Savage Bear.

Icefield Druid Recruitment Scroll (Purple): Through this scroll, you can summon a powerful, level 15 Elite Druid!

(Note: Although the Icefield Druid is powerful, its daily food consumption is also astonishing. Please ensure you have sufficient food supplies~)

Seeing the prompt above, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What the hell!"

"Level 15 Elite monster!"

"This is too fierce!"

From the powerful combat strength displayed by the Snowland Savage Bear just now, one could tell how terrifying a Level 15 Elite monster was!

If Cao Xing didn't have a powerful weapon like Bullet, all of them combined wouldn't last half a minute against the Snowland Savage Bear.

However, the system also prompted that this 'Icefield Druid' had an astonishing appetite.

Ordinary survivors wouldn't even be able to afford to feed it.

Cao Xing continued to check the other reward.

Beginner Elemental Arrow Tower Blueprint: Allows the construction of a defensive arrow tower in the territory. Attack Power: 213~247 (20% chance to add 45 elemental damage). Attack Interval: 2.5 seconds/attack. Maximum Range: 600 meters. Armor: 20 points. Durability: 2000/2000. Footprint: 12 square meters. Building Height: 15 meters. Construction Materials Required: Wood * 300, Stone * 200, Iron * 50, Primary Elemental Crystal * 10.

After reading the attributes of this elemental arrow tower, Cao Xing was once again pleasantly surprised.

Good heavens, over two hundred attack power, enough to instantly kill a Level 5 creature like Ilena with one shot. This was another powerful weapon!

Even an un-advanced Assam would likely be shot dead before it could even charge to the base of the arrow tower in a one-on-one situation. After all, it had a range of 600 meters.

And the materials required for this elemental arrow tower were not complicated; it could be mass-produced.

The only troublesome thing was the Primary Elemental Crystal at the end. This item only dropped from powerful creatures like the Snowland Savage Bear or could be found in treasure chests.

However, with the existence of the market, this was not a problem for Cao Xing.

Cao Xing believed that even if this material was difficult to obtain, with such a large player base, many survivors would definitely drop this material.

After reviewing his gains from this battle, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Although this battle consumed five bullets from his Bullet, the rewards were also astonishing.

It could be called a great harvest.

And not only that, besides these spoils of war, there was still a reward that had not been dealt with.

Cao Xing looked at the massive corpse before him.

Snowland Savage Bear Corpse (Blue): Can be decomposed.

Cao Xing directly clicked on decompose.

Then, the truck-sized body of the Snowland Savage Bear was enveloped in a white light.

When the white light dissipated, a small mountain of fresh bear meat appeared in its place, along with a huge bear pelt, a pair of bear paws, and a pile of bones.

Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 12156 (Bear meat containing powerful strength. Upon first consumption, Strength +2, Constitution +2.)

Give one piece to my territory, and trade the rest on the trading post for resources. There will definitely be a lot of people who like it.

Complete Snowland Savage Bear Pelt (Blue) (A complete bear pelt with excellent cold resistance. After being made into clothes at the tailor shop, it can also provide a certain armor effect.)

Snowland Savage Bear Paw (Purple) * 21 (A precious trophy. It is said that nobles in Avalon specifically collect these bear paws as collectibles, and they can be sold for a considerable price.)

Snowland Savage Bear Gallbladder (Blue) * 1 (Bear gallbladder with powerful effects. After the first consumption, it permanently increases Health by 200 points. Remember to cook it before eating!)

Snowland Savage Bear Bones * 172 (Blue) (Extremely hard bones of the savage bear. You can process them in the blacksmith shop to make spears or other weapons.)

"Holy crap! Over a thousand pounds of bear meat?"

Cao Xing was shocked. Converted, that was over six thousand food!

And what was the most crucial part?

The most crucial part was that this bear meat could increase attributes! A full 2 points of Strength and Constitution increase. For warrior classes, that's nearly 4 points of Attack Power and 40 Health, plus a 1-point Armor increase.

This was the time when survivors needed food the most, and it was meat that increased attributes!

If he put this on the market for trade, Cao Xing believed it would definitely cause a rush among survivors.

He could almost see a fortune raining down on him, making Cao Xing's breathing quicken!
