As soon as Qin Feng entered the chat channel, he saw Wu Yong speaking.
Wu Yong: "Brothers, here's the latest update. Liu Xuan just killed a level 3 Ironhide Rhinoceros. His progress is now level 3 (597/600), just a hair away from level 4!"
"Wow! Boss Liu Xuan is almost level 4! That's fantastic!"
"Go, Boss Liu Xuan! Keep going! We have to overtake Edward! We have to beat Lighthouse Country!"
"Boss Wu Yong, hurry over! This level 3 fox is too strong. We can barely keep it trapped!"
Wu Yong: "Haha! Brothers, hang in there! Liu Xuan and I are on our way!"
"Boss Wu Yong, we found another level 3 beast at coordinates 547,998!"
Wu Yong: "Keep it trapped for now! Once Liu Xuan and I kill that fox, we'll come kill it!"
"All right! Keep it up! We'll keep it firmly trapped!"
"Bad news! Bad news! Edward on the other side just killed a level 4 beast. His experience shot up!"
"Holy shit! What's his level progress now?"
"We don't know yet! His people are asking!"
Seeing this, Qin Feng quickly switched to Novice Village No. 137's chat channel.
As soon as he entered the channel, he saw the people of Lighthouse Country cheering.
"Fantastic! Lord Edward is amazing!"
"Oh! Great Lord Edward! You are the strongest man in the world! You killed a level 4 beast all by yourself. You're truly incredible! I would love to spend the night with you!"
Edward: "Oh! To the lady above, once I return victorious, I shall grant your wish! I shall also bestow upon you the precious First Embrace!"
"Oh! I'm so moved! My baron, I wish I could offer myself to you right now!"
"Lord Edward, please stop flirting. The Dragon Nation people on the other side have already killed two level 3 beasts."
Edward: "Oh! Really? Why are they killing them so quickly?"
"The Dragon Nation people are very united. They're all helping a fellow named Liu Xuan, contributing selflessly."
Edward: "Oh! That is truly vexing news. What's that Liu Xuan's progress?"
"He's already level 3 (597/600)!"
Edward: "Haha! He's only level 3! I'm already level 4 (520/1200)!"
"My God! Lord Edward, your progress went up by 150 points in one go!"
"Oh! This is wonderful! Lord Edward, you've left that Liu Xuan far behind!"
"Lord Edward, you are truly great! Our Novice Village No. 137 is sure to win!"
Edward: "Oh! I shall make Lighthouse Country great again! I'll reach level 5 before dawn. Just wait for glory to descend!"
"Lord Edward! We await your victory!"
"Oh! I'm so excited! This time, those scrawny Dragon Nation people will definitely be on the ground crying. Their unity looks utterly ridiculous now!"
"My God! History has proven that they're 'sick men'! This time, Lord Edward will prove once again that they are sick men!"
At that moment, Novice Village No. 137 erupted!
The people of Lighthouse Country cheered endlessly.
Quite a few were also mocking the people of Dragon Nation.
Qin Feng was furious as he read, sneering inwardly.
Hmph!
You want to reach level 5 before dawn?
You won't even get to wait until dawn!
Soon, you won't be laughing anymore!
Qin Feng sneered and left the chat channel.
Then he hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield and plunged into the forest, continuing his search for beasts.
He had to reach level 5 as soon as possible and deliver a resounding slap to Edward and Novice Village No. 137!
The night was as dark as ink.
A last-quarter moon hung in the sky.
Qin Feng's figure darted through the forest like a solitary king.
The forest at night was cold and damp.
All kinds of scents filled the air.
Soon, he picked out a rank, gamey scent from the jumble of odors.
It was the scent of a beast!
Delighted, Qin Feng hurried after the scent.
He had the Sense of Smell Enhancement talent, giving him a sense of smell ten times that of an ordinary person.
This gave him exceptional tracking abilities.
Even with dozens of level 2 and level 3 experts helping Liu Xuan, their efficiency in finding beasts might not match his.
Several minutes later, Qin Feng spotted a giant, vividly striped tiger in a mountain ravine.
A scan with the Eye of True Sight told him it was a level 6 beast-a Green-Eyed Giant Tiger!
Overjoyed, Qin Feng immediately charged at the giant tiger...
Roar!
Alerted, the giant tiger raised its head and saw a level 4 human charging toward it.
It gave a disdainful roar, leaped across the ravine, and rushed at Qin Feng...
Man and tiger lunged at each other to kill!
At the same time, Novice Village No. 911's chat channel had already erupted into an uproar.
"Heavens! Edward's progress is already level 4 (520/1200). He said he can reach level 5 before dawn!"
"Holy shit! Level 5 before dawn? Isn't that way too fast? Boss Liu Xuan, can you reach level 5 before dawn?"
"Yeah! Boss Liu Xuan, can you level up before dawn?"
Everyone asked, deeply concerned.
Only after a long while did Liu Xuan speak.
Liu Xuan: "Well... at my current pace, I can't reach level 5 before dawn. Tomorrow afternoon is the earliest I could manage!"
His words caused an uproar.
"Oh, great! We're screwed!"
"By tomorrow afternoon, it'll all be over!"
"Boohoo! Looks like we're going to lose! I don't want to lose! I don't want to have 20 attribute points deducted!"
"Damn! Those bitches from Lighthouse Country! They were just mocking us Dragon Nation people as sick men. They're definitely going to laugh at us this time!"
"Fuck them! Those idiots from Lighthouse Country! They're pissing me off!"
At that moment, everyone was both furious and helpless.
Wu Yong: "Don't be so pessimistic! Edward might be bluffing! We mustn't give up until the very last moment! Let's keep working!"
"Exactly! Let's keep working! We won't give up until the very last moment!"
Everyone responded.
Just then, an ill-timed voice chimed in.
Liu Yuan: "Forget it! Even if Edward is bluffing and doesn't reach level 5 before dawn, he'll get there tomorrow morning. We're definitely going to lose! I'm done! Selling grilled meat! Anyone who needs grilled meat, contact me now!"
Wu Yong: "Liu Yuan, it's one thing if you won't help. But is this really the time to sell grilled meat?"
Liu Yuan: "Wu Yong! Are you saying I haven't contributed this time? I've practically run my legs off helping Liu Xuan find beasts. I only thought of selling grilled meat because I saw there was no hope. Besides, I'm not the only one selling it. Qin Feng sells grilled meat too!"
Wu Yong: "Qin Feng isn't like you. He just sells grilled meat quietly. He doesn't undermine everyone at a critical moment like this!"
Liu Yuan: "I'm not undermining anyone. I'm quitting because I see no hope. Oh, right, isn't Qin Feng a level 3 big shot too? All of us level 3s went to help this time, but I never saw Qin Feng. Where did he go?"
At that reminder, everyone thought of Qin Feng.
"Right! I haven't seen Qin Feng either!"
"It's like that guy vanished!"
"With something as important as the Resource Wager, almost every level 3 big shot has spoken in the channel. He's the only one we haven't heard from!"
"Yeah! What do you think he's been doing?"
Just as those words appeared, an exceptionally eye-catching red notification appeared at the top of the chat channel.
[Notice: Novice Qin Feng of Novice Village No. 911 has reached level 5 first. Novice Village No. 911 has won this Resource Wager!]
