Thanks to the system, Qin Shaofeng could cultivate techniques.

But even with the Yi Jin Jing, that still wasn't enough for Qin Shaofeng, whose dantian had been shattered.

There was less than a month left until the Lanjiang City Lord Competition.

Qin Shaofeng wasn't naive enough to think he could cultivate the Yi Jin Jing to a high level in that short time.

So he'd thought of killing monsters to level up.

"Oh, young master, what brings you to the back courtyard?"

A stocky, good-natured middle-aged man came trotting over, his face beaming with a smile.

The fat man was Qin Manor's head chef. His name was Qin Dabao, and he was a member of the Qin Family's main clan.

"Uncle Dabao, I'm here to kill chickens!" Qin Shaofeng replied without turning around.

His answer left Qin Dabao dumbfounded.

K-kill chickens?

This...

Qin Dabao couldn't make sense of Qin Shaofeng's answer.

Could it be that the young master, having had his dantian crippled, had suffered such a shock that he'd gone a little crazy?

After standing there in a daze for a moment, Qin Dabao couldn't help thinking that this might be the case. He felt even more sorry for Qin Shaofeng.

Then Qin Dabao nodded without hesitation. "All right! If the young master's in the mood, I, Dabao, will do whatever I can to help!"

As he spoke, Qin Dabao led Qin Shaofeng into the back courtyard.

A moment later, Qin Shaofeng's eyes lit up at the sight of the Giant Turkey before him, which weighed a good twenty kilograms.

But Qin Dabao saw the look in his eyes and let out a silent wail.

It's over. The young master really has been badly shaken. He's already lost his mind!

Qin Shaofeng paid none of that any mind. He took the sharp knife Qin Dabao handed him, though the man did so with great hesitation, and advanced on the turkey.

"Gobble, gobble! Gobble!"

The Giant Turkey struggled as the gleaming knife came toward its neck. But it was no use. To keep Qin Shaofeng from getting hurt, Qin Dabao had already wrapped it up like a dumpling.

How could it struggle now?

With a thwack, hot blood spurted from the Giant Turkey's neck and splattered across the ground. Quite a bit of it splashed onto Qin Shaofeng, too.

Ding!

A mechanical system notification rang out, and Qin Shaofeng broke into a smile—a delighted one.

"System notification: Congratulations, player! You killed one level 1 Giant Turkey and gained 1 experience point!"

Hahaha! It really works! I really can kill monsters and level up!

Qin Shaofeng roared with laughter inside. If not for the circumstances around him, he would've laughed out loud.

Even so, Qin Dabao was so shaken by the sight that his heart pounded. The smile at the corner of Qin Shaofeng's mouth only made him more anxious.

This is bad. This is very bad!

The young master's been so badly shaken that he's grinning like a madman after killing one turkey.

But just then, Qin Shaofeng called out with a hearty laugh, "Next one!"

Next one?

He wants to keep going?

Qin Dabao's face changed, and he hesitated. But then he suddenly remembered what people said: when someone had suffered a severe mental shock, you had to go along with them first, or they might go berserk!

The young master was already pitiful enough after suffering such a shock. If he started acting violently on top of that, then...

Qin Dabao didn't dare think any further. He could only do as Qin Shaofeng wished.

And so, to keep his young master's mind from deteriorating further, Qin Dabao went along with him, tying up one turkey after another and bringing them over.

After the turkeys were gone, it was the Black Goose Ducks' turn, followed by...

"System notification: Congratulations, player! You killed one level 1 Giant Turkey and gained 1 experience point!"

"System notification: Congratulations, player! You killed one level 1 Black Goose Duck and gained 1 experience point!"

"System notification: Congratulations, player! You killed one level 2 Domesticated Porcupine and gained 5 experience points!"

Looking at the ever-growing pools of blood on the ground, even Qin Dabao—a head chef who'd slaughtered countless cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks—grew paler by the moment. He kept praying inwardly: Old Master, please hurry over! I really can't hold out much longer!

Unlike Qin Dabao, the more Qin Shaofeng killed, the more excited he became!

Although each level 1 chicken or duck only gave him 1 experience point, and even the level 2 Domesticated Porcupine only gave him 5, there was no shortage of them!
