Time flew!
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
More than twenty additional corpses lay at Qin Feng's feet.
Thirteen level 3 beast corpses and eleven level 6 beast corpses...
He had killed those level 6 beasts himself!
He had obtained the level 3 beast corpses through trades.
He had already extracted from all of them, reaping a tremendous haul.
At that moment, he held a cigarette butt between his lips, silently surveying the corpses strewn across the ground.
No beasts had come for quite some time.
It seemed he had killed nearly all the beasts in this area. It was time for him to move on.
Speaking of which, there were five types of level 3 beasts.
He had reached the extraction limit for four of them, leaving him just one white fox short.
There were only four types of level 6 beasts. He had reached the limit for three, leaving him just two Dark Night Owls short.
He had originally planned to head to the level 7 beast area once he had finished all his level 6 extractions.
Now, it seemed there was no need to wait.
Not a single Dark Night Owl had appeared in this area for ages, so he could only look elsewhere.
For this wager, the Heavenly Dao had unlocked map rewards for levels 1 through 10, along with a bestiary covering beasts of those levels.
Of course, the bestiary only described ordinary beasts, not mutated or king-tier ones.
It was precisely thanks to the bestiary that he knew there were five types of level 3 beasts and four types of level 6 beasts.
Whew!
Qin Feng leisurely exhaled a stream of smoke, then flicked his cigarette butt into the fire.
He checked his level progress: level 5 (2570/3000).
He was not far from level 6.
Then he checked the rankings again.
[Novice Village No. 911 Level Rankings] 1st: Qin Feng, level 5 2nd: Liu Xuan, level 4. 2nd: Long Shan, level 4. 3rd: Wu Yong, level 3. 5th: Gu Ming, level 3 6th: Lei Jue, level 3 7th: Yu Wen, level 3 ...
Not bad! Not bad!
In those two hours, Liu Xuan and Long Shan had both reached level 4, one after the other.
Twenty-one people had also reached level 3.
Everyone in the top hundred was level 2, without exception.
Clearly, everyone was working hard.
Qin Feng felt quite heartened.
After all, these people were his fellow Dragon Nation citizens. Naturally, he hoped they could all grow stronger.
After experiencing the Resource Wager, he realized that more Resource Wagers would probably occur later.
On Blue Star, there was no shortage of countries that harbored ill intentions toward the Dragon Nation.
With that thought, he switched to the chat channel.
It was already late at night, but the channel was still buzzing with conversation.
That alone showed how hardworking the people of the Dragon Nation were.
Qin Feng immediately posted two messages.
Qin Feng: "From now on, I'm only buying white fox corpses among level 3 beasts. I'm no longer buying other level 3 beast corpses."
Qin Feng: "I'm still buying level 4 and level 5 beast corpses. A reminder, everyone: the supply of tier 1 refined steel sabers is limited. First come, first served!"
"Whoa! Big shot Qin Feng has spoken!"
"Wow! My idol! I'm so excited to see big shot Qin Feng here!"
"Oh my god! Boss Qin Feng, you only want level 3 white fox corpses now? You don't want any other level 3 beast corpses?"
"Boohoo! I was just thinking I'd trade you for some roasted meat after killing one more level 3 beast! I never expected you wouldn't need them anymore!"
"Hey, above, Boss Qin Feng made himself very clear. What he needs most now are level 4 and level 5 beast corpses. Let's go hunt level 4 beasts instead!"
"Haha! Hey, above, our group has already hunted down two level 4 beasts. Once we collect one more level 4 beast corpse, we can trade Boss Qin Feng for a tier 1 steel saber!"
"You're so efficient! Our group spent ages surrounding and killing just one level 4 beast!"
"Holy shit! You big shots are incredible! You can even hunt level 4 beasts now!"
Qin Feng felt quite heartened as he read this.
These people were already hunting level 4 beasts.
That would save him a great deal of time.
Just then, a man's avatar flashed in the chat channel.
It belonged to a refined-looking middle-aged man named Gu Ming.
Qin Feng had quite a strong impression of him.
That was because he had consistently ranked in the top five on the level leaderboard.
Gu Ming: "Big shot Qin Feng, I just killed a level 2 mutated beast and obtained a Black Iron Treasure Chest. I opened it and got a tier 1 item-a Resource Wager Token!"
The moment this message appeared, the chat channel erupted.
"Holy shit! A Resource Wager Token!"
"Good stuff! That's good stuff!"
"Big shot Gu Ming, activate the Wager Token! Let's have another Resource Wager with another novice village!"
"Yeah! I really want another Resource Wager! Then we can get another 20 attribute points and double our resources again!"
"Haha! You took the words right out of my mouth! Last time felt so good. I really want to do it again!"
"Hey, above, be careful! What if we lose?"
"Haha! With big shot Qin Feng in our village, how could we lose?"
"Big shot Gu Ming, are you mentioning the Resource Wager Token because you want to tell everyone you're going to activate it?"
Gu Ming: "No. There are special requirements for using this token. I can't use it. I'd like to make a trade with big shot Qin Feng using this token."
Reading this, Qin Feng grew curious.
Qin Feng: "What kind of trade?"
Gu Ming: "I'd like to trade this token, along with the novice short saber I have, for a tier 1 refined steel saber. What do you think?"
Qin Feng smiled when he read this.
For him, this was a very worthwhile trade.
Tier 1 weapons generally provided around 5-8 attack points.
His tier 1 steel sabers only provided +5 attack, making them rather trashy among tier 1 weapons.
But they were still very enticing to these newcomers.
Trading a steel saber like that for a Resource Wager Token, plus a novice short saber, was an excellent deal.
Qin Feng: "Sure! But you'll have to throw in that mutated beast's corpse."
Gu Ming: "No problem! The corpse is yours! Thank you so much, big shot Qin Feng!"
Gu Ming was overjoyed, his tone revealing his excitement.
Qin Feng: "Come to the hyperspace trading channel!"
Gu Ming: "Okay!"
The two immediately switched to the trading channel.
Soon, they completed the trade.
Qin Feng took out the items he had obtained.
A token, a novice short saber, and a beast corpse.
The token was entirely black, made of a material that was neither gold nor iron, and covered in strange runes. It was the Resource Wager Token.
[Resource Wager Token: Only one will appear in each novice village. Only the highest-level person in the village is qualified to activate and use it.]
Reading this, Qin Feng understood why Gu Ming had wanted to sell it to him.
[Reminder: After the token is activated, if the village wins, the initiator's rewards will be doubled. If the village loses, the initiator's penalties will be doubled.]
Oh!
So the initiator's rewards and penalties were doubled.
In other words, if they lost the wager, the other villagers would lose 20 attribute points, while the initiator would lose 40.
In that case, Edward was in a miserable state!
The thought made Qin Feng want to laugh.
However, if they won, the initiator's rewards would also be doubled.
That doubling did not merely mean a reward of 40 attribute points.
If the initiator led his village to victory, the additional reward of 50 attribute points would also double to 100.
What a great item!
This token was definitely a great item!
Qin Feng was secretly delighted.
This token suited him perfectly.
He could hardly wait to launch a Resource Wager right away.
[Reminder: Wu Yong has exchanged three level 4 beast corpses for one of your tier 1 refined steel sabers.] [Reminder: Hu Neng has exchanged a level 3 white fox beast corpse for 10 jin of your roasted meat.] [Reminder: Wu Yong has exchanged a tier 0 novice short saber for 10 jin of your roasted meat.]
Just then, the Heavenly Dao sent another string of notifications.
Good things were coming one after another!
Delighted, Qin Feng hurriedly took out those beast corpses.
Another bountiful harvest had come his way...
