Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Jointly killed a Raider, EXP +10
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Jointly killed a Raider, EXP +10
Together.
Cheng Shaofeng, Forgiveness Hat, and Xiao Xiao each landed one Golden Critical Hit, killing the unconscious Raiders.
Cheng Shaofeng counted them. There were fifty-one ordinary Raiders and two Raider Elites.
Before they had even killed half of them, Xiao Xiao's watch suddenly began vibrating!
Thankfully, it was the electronic device strapped to her wrist that was vibrating, not somewhere else. Otherwise, it might have affected her body's coordination.
Congratulations, you have reached Level 2. Personal attributes increased. Obtained 3 Skill Points and 1 Attribute Point. Personal Attribute Panel unlocked. Skill Tree Panel unlocked. You may select a class and change your profession.
Bang!
A Qi Burst erupted from Xiao Xiao's body. Her muscles, bones, and blood surged with vitality, and even the injuries from the Phantasmal Erosion on her body were fully healed.
Forgiveness Hat had expected it. "Crafting a piece of quality equipment gave you 10 EXP. You crafted three weapons earlier, so that was 30 EXP. Resisting the illusion just now gave you 300 directly. You killed seventeen Raiders, which was just enough to level up. My gathering EXP was a little higher than yours, but I got 100 less EXP from the illusion. Five more and I'll level up too."
Cheng Shaofeng did not let the two players keep discussing it.
"Deal with these damned Raiders first. We'll study the ability upgrades after we return to the base. You two should learn your own skills too."
The three continued killing Raiders. Just as they were about to wake up, the last of them was finally dealt with.
By then, most of the people in town had awakened. They looked at the field of Raider corpses outside, then at the three armed figures shining beneath the sunlight like gods of war.
Salt Well Town Residents: ==(●●|||)
They were stunned silly!
Just moments ago, they had been facing the destruction of their homes and families. The residents had been prepared to live and die with the town, yet that massive horde of Raiders had suddenly vanished!
An old man living in town had even pulled one of the legs off his stool, intending to sneak-attack a Raider with it.
At that moment, the old man looked at his three-legged stool, and a wave of heartache washed over him.
"Only when it's gone do you understand what 'gone' really means."
The town's hunters glanced at the hunting rifles they depended on for survival and suddenly lost confidence.
"Guns aren't all-powerful either."
"Shaofeng is so strong. Why did he suddenly become like this?"
"The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation. I saw Shaofeng using cold weapons, so he probably mutated. Maybe he's even reproductively isolated from us now!"
"Hiss~ I heard long ago that Red City hides many secrets. Anyone who comes back alive from there gains a lot. Looks like Little Feng got hold of something too."
Lin Lei, captain of the guard, stood there with his mouth wide open for a long time. Only when someone beside him reminded him that he ought to say something did he finally snap out of it.
He jogged all the way to Cheng Shaofeng and grabbed his hand.
"Brother Feng, I admit I may have spoken a little too loudly to you before. Please don't hold it against me."
Who the hell would dare provoke this guy?
Three people had personally slaughtered fifty-three Raiders!
Scary as hell!
They were obviously humans from the wasteland legends who possessed Mysterious Power.
Cheng Shaofeng froze for a moment, then immediately caught on and said modestly, "Hey, it was nothing. We happened to pass by and saw it. We're all from the same town, so we helped where we could. It was just a small matter. Everyone, carry on with whatever you were doing!"
If he did not show off now, then when would he?
The female ghost was not showing herself. This little display of mine was flawless!
Lin Lei became even more certain that Cheng Shaofeng was no longer the same, and hurriedly said, "How about we help deal with all these corpses?"
"Hey! We really do need your help. Captain Lin, get us a few handcarts, load all these corpses onto them, and help me transport them to a friend of mine. He has a use for the bodies."
"Hiss~ Raider corpses can be useful too?" Lin Lei was deeply shocked.
"They're just for research. Is that convenient?"
"Of course! Absolutely!"
They did not have to risk their lives fighting all those Raiders. They only had to deliver some things, so naturally there was no problem.
Lin Lei went to arrange for people to load the corpses.
At that moment, three people came running over from the hill across from them.
Wang Qian, Wang Wan, and Wang Hao.
The moment Xiao Xiao and Forgiveness Hat saw the two men's faces, they were so frightened that they immediately raised their weapons.
"Holy shit! The ghosts are back!?"
Cheng Shaofeng's heart skipped a beat as well, but he felt that the female ghost had no reason to create another illusion to attack him, and he relaxed slightly.
Wang Qian shouted, "Little Feng! You're alive! What happened in there just now?"
Wang Wan, meanwhile, grinned as he looked at the Raider corpses covering the ground.
"Good lord, I was worried that so many Raiders would really take Salt Well Town. How did they all end up lying here?"
Wang Hao tugged on Cheng Shaofeng's arm. "Brother Feng, are you okay?"
Cheng Shaofeng patted Xiao Hao.
"I'm fine. It's a long story, and I can't really explain it either. Anyway, Salt Well Town survived the Raider invasion this time, and we happened to take care of them all. No Raiders will attack the town again in the future."
The Wang brothers exchanged glances, each seeing the other's guess.
"Little Feng, I know. It was that Mysterious Power, right? I heard merchants from Colossus City talk about it. There are many mysterious forces in this world that go beyond human understanding."
Cheng Shaofeng nodded without explaining.
Wang Qian sighed. "What a coincidence. We also ran into three incredibly powerful people today. They dared to confront Raiders head-on. When the Raiders struck them, they neither screamed nor cried out. They got back up and kept fighting as if they felt no pain at all. Their fighting spirit was incredibly high! And the spears they held could glow. They actually stabbed those thick-skinned Raiders to death. If it hadn't been for those three, Xiao Hao might have..."
The more Cheng Shaofeng listened, the more something felt off.
Why did this sound more and more like Thin Dog and the other two?
"Were the people you saw two taller ones and one shorter one? Wearing green clothes and speaking words you couldn't understand?"
"Huh? Yes, yes! How did you know? Have you met them too?"
Cheng Shaofeng: (￣口￣)!!
Were they unafraid of pain?
The pain setting for Clones was just reduced to 10%!
They could even drink medicine to recover health. As long as they were not dead, they could be saved.
Even if they died, they could be revived.
In this world, only players truly dared to risk their lives. After all, they had more than one life.
"I do know them. They're actually my subordinates. You'll probably see them often in the future, so just get used to it."
"Hiss~ Your subordinates?"
Little Feng had already started his own faction?
Wang Qian and Wang Wan felt that the little brother who had once needed their care had suddenly become mysterious.
After Salt Well Town survived the crisis, it returned to its usual state.
Cheng Shaofeng sold twenty-three Icefire Mushrooms to Zheng Juan at the general store. After learning that Cheng Shaofeng possessed Mysterious Power, she became even more attentive, exposing two half-sized big pineapples as though she wanted to press Cheng Shaofeng's hand right into them.
Cheng Shaofeng's response was: Stay away from me!
He sold the Icefire Mushrooms for 690 yuan, then exchanged the money for handcarts, tools, sacks, beans, salt, and all kinds of daily necessities. He also bought up all the electronic components from the town's shops at low prices. His backpack was now full of broken junk that had been smashed into pieces, the kind of stuff that could not be sold for money to trading caravans at all.
But Cheng Shaofeng could make use of it.
Of course, the attentive Lin Lei had people push all those supplies for them.
A total of ten handcarts were loaded and neatly transported toward Calamity Base.
Beside the stream not far from Raider Camp 1.
Three players sat on the ground, with four Raider corpses lying beside them.
Thin Dog: "Whew! That was close! Four Raiders together were too hard to fight! They used terrain, snuck in attacks, and repositioned like crazy. We burned through three bottles of health potions before finally taking them down."
Thin Dog, Demon Fox, and Lin Tang had killed all those Raiders.
Demon Fox summarized, "The process was troublesome, but... our harvest was huge! Each of us gained a full thirty-two EXP! If this keeps up, won't we level up the day after tomorrow?"
Thin Dog curled his lips into a grin. "And there are the Skeletons in the Cellar. If those things are endless, the three of us can grind ourselves silly today! We'll definitely reach Level 2 tomorrow. Wouldn't this leveling speed make Forgiveness Hat and Xiao Xiao green with envy?"
Lin Tang: "Definitely! Just our pile of loot alone is enough to make them jealous! Now this is what you call professionalism!"
"HAHAHAHA!"
The three sat in Raider Camp, laughing heartily as they felt their future was bright.
