Baffling confidence

As soon as Qin Feng entered the chat channel, he found it buzzing with conversation.

Liu Xuan: "Brothers, we just killed the second level 5 beast and are heading for the third. If anyone finds a fourth, report its coordinates right away!"

Lei Jue: "Coordinates 737,490. There's a level 5 beast here. Seven or eight of us are holding it off!"

Gu Ming: "Coordinates 832,335. There's a level 5 beast here too!"

Yu Wen: "Coordinates 927,282. There are two level 5 beasts here! They're terrifying! We're hiding nearby and don't dare move!"

Long Shan: "Good! Good! The beasts are much easier to find than during the last wager!"

Liu Xuan: "Of course they are! We won a Resource Wager, so the number of beasts doubled!"

Wu Yong: "Haha! Having double the resources feels great! Enough talk! The three of us will hurry over!"

"That's right! You three big shots, hurry over and kill them! Kill those level 5 beasts and give Boss Qin Feng a hand!"

"For Boss Qin Feng, we'll give it everything we've got!"

"It's not just for Boss Qin Feng. It's for ourselves too!"

"To the person above, this isn't just about our village's rise or fall. Our Dragon Nation's dignity is at stake too! Those bastards in the regional channel are still laughing at us!"

"Exactly! We can't lose this wager! Let's go all out! Everyone, give it everything you've got!"

"Haha! I found a tier 1 spirit herb!"

"I have one too!"

"What are your coordinates? I'll come find you so we can gather the spirit herbs together. Once we have three, we can trade them to Boss Qin Feng."

"I'm at 321,478 in the level 2 beast area!"

"All right! I'll be right there!"

Qin Feng's heart surged as he read this.

The people of the Dragon Nation truly stood united.

For the entire village and their nation's dignity, everyone was willing to sacrifice their own interests, standing together and making selfless sacrifices.

The thought left him feeling rather moved.

Just then, Liu Yuan's avatar flashed.

Liu Yuan: "Oh dear! Everyone's working so hard, but what if we lose? You know, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment!"

Wu Yong: "Liu Yuan, can you shut up? Nobody will think you're mute if you don't speak!"

Liu Yuan: "Hey! I'm just telling the truth! The other side really is too strong, and they're pretty united too. A lot of people are helping that Amir find beasts."

Liu Yuan: "Our side is strange, though. Qin Feng won't let us help him find beasts. He only wants corpses and spirit herbs. That's really odd! I think..."

Wu Yong flew into a rage. "You think what? Do you think Qin Feng is like you, with no sense of duty to his nation?"

Liu Yuan: "Uh... that's not what I meant! I just don't understand Qin Feng's strange behavior. Normally, if you're killing monsters to level up, shouldn't you be looking for living beasts? What's the point of asking for beast corpses?"

Liu Yuan: "And what's even more ridiculous is that he wants spirit herbs and spirit fruits too. What's that about? Can spirit herbs and spirit fruits help him level up?"

His words left everyone puzzled too.

But someone soon snapped back angrily.

Wu Yong: "Liu Yuan, Boss Qin Feng must have his reasons for arranging things this way. Didn't he already say it? It's an emergency, and every second counts in this wager. He doesn't have time to explain. What we need to do now is cooperate with him as best we can!"

Lei Jue: "Exactly! Liu Yuan, if you don't want to help, shut up! Stop babbling here and annoying everyone!"

Liu Yuan: "What? I just don't understand and wanted to share my personal opinion! Huh! Holy shit, I found a tier 1 spirit herb! Haha!"

Liu Yuan: "Where are those two people who had spirit herbs just now? The three of us can pool our herbs and trade them to Big Shot Qin Feng!"

Wu Yong: "...You! It's that mouth of yours that makes you so annoying!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly as he read this.

He didn't know what to make of Liu Yuan anymore.

Then he switched to Village No. 446's chat channel, which was also buzzing with conversation.

"Haha! The Dragon Nation people are hilarious! A whole bunch of them are hunting level 5 beasts, then trading the corpses to someone named Qin Feng."

"My god! Don't you need living beasts to kill monsters and level up? What do they want corpses for? Are all Dragon Nation people idiots?!"

"Ah! Dragon Nation people have always been stupid! Just like back on Blue Star, their country was clearly twenty years behind our Asan Country, yet they insisted they were more advanced than us."

"Tch! Apart from having a slightly larger population, how can the Dragon Nation compare to us in any way? Those Dragon Nation people are truly pathetic!"

"Exactly! Our Asan Country is the strongest nation in Asia!"

Qin Feng almost laughed as he read this.

These Asans had such baffling confidence.

"Wow! Everyone, guess what I found? I found a cow monster that dropped a pile of dung. It's very fresh!"

"Heavens! Cow dung! That's a gift from the great god Shiva! You above, you must treasure that pile of cow dung. It can cure every illness!"

"Boohoo! I'm so jealous! I'm absolutely mad with envy! Why wasn't I lucky enough to find a pile of cow dung?"

Qin Feng felt a little sick as he read this.

These Asans had some rather extreme tastes!

Just then, Salman's avatar flashed.

Salman: "Everyone, let me report Lord Amir's latest progress. He's now level 7 (1860/18000)."

The entire channel went wild at his words.

"Heavens! It's only been two hours, and Lord Amir has already made so much progress!"

"Yes! Lord Amir is incredible!"

"Lord Amir truly is a powerful ascetic!"

"He was also born a noble Kshatriya. Untouchables could never achieve anything so great. He's truly magnificent!"

"Lord Amir! We worship you!"

"By the way, how are those Dragon Nation people on the other side progressing?"

"No idea! They seem to be pinning all their hopes on someone named Qin Feng."

"Those Dragon Nation people have never drunk the sacred waters of the Ganges. They're a bunch of sickly weaklings. That Qin Feng definitely can't compare to Lord Amir!"

"As far as I know, Qin Feng was only level 6 when the wager started. He's probably still level 6 now!"

"Haha! Our Lord Amir is already level 7 (1860/18000). He left Qin Feng far behind ages ago."

"I bet that even when Lord Amir reaches level 8, that Qin Feng still won't have reached level 7!"

"Of course!"

"We're sure to win this time! Haha!"

At that moment, cheers filled the chat channel.

The Asans all laughed smugly, as though victory were already theirs.

Qin Feng could only shake his head as he watched.

He truly couldn't understand where their baffling confidence came from.

His current progress was level 7 (4980/18000), far ahead of that Amir.

Those self-important Asans didn't even realize their doom was at hand.

With that thought, Qin Feng left the chat channel.

He had to level up as quickly as possible! He had to win this wager as soon as he could!

He wanted to see whether, once those Asans lost the wager, lost their attributes, and lost their resources...

They would still be able to laugh!
