Coming up beside the woman's corpse, Qin Feng pressed his palm against her body...
Buzz!
White light flashed!
[Endless Extraction successful! Gained E-rank talent-Speed Enhancement!] [Speed Enhancement: a speed talent that doubles speed!]
Awesome!
Another talent!
Speed Enhancement was agility enhancement.
With this talent in effect, his agility stat was effectively 22 points, twice that of an adult.
This gave his strength another huge boost!
Then Qin Feng walked over to the fat man's corpse.
The man wore a chef's uniform and had probably been a chef when he was alive.
Qin Feng pressed his palm against the fat man's body...
Buzz!
[Endless Extraction successful! Gained F-rank talent-Sense of Smell Enhancement!] [Sense of Smell Enhancement: enhances the sense of smell tenfold!]
This extraction actually yielded a talent of the lowest rank: Sense of Smell Enhancement, one of the six senses enhancements.
Yet when Qin Feng received this information, wild delight spread across his face.
Sense of Smell Enhancement was immensely useful to him.
These grasslands were vast, and finding all sorts of corpses would not be easy.
Now that his Sense of Smell Enhancement had increased tenfold, he could track down corpses by the scent of blood, making it ten times easier than before.
At the same time, he could use his sense of smell to detect the scent of ferocious beasts and avoid some dangers in advance.
That was why Sense of Smell Enhancement was so useful to him.
Soon, Qin Feng finished cleaning up the battlefield.
He retrieved the steel saber the giant rat had swatted away...
He also picked up the two dead people's beginner short sabers, wrapped them in the fat man's chef's uniform, and slung them over his back.
These were all resources he could trade with others for supplies.
After doing all this, he checked his stats again and felt deeply gratified.
In less than an hour, his strength and agility stats had both reached the standard for an adult, and he had also gained three talents.
Now, on the surface, his combat power was one star.
But with his various talents added in, his overall strength could definitely reach two stars, perhaps even the peak of two stars.
After all, the combat power assessment only considered the four basic stats and did not factor in talents.
Talents varied too much to be calculated.
But this meant that the combat power assessment provided by the Heavenly Dao could only serve as a reference.
This reference was fairly accurate when used to assess the strength of ferocious beasts.
When used to assess human strength, the discrepancy was much greater.
Humans with multiple talents like Qin Feng, in particular, would be greatly underestimated.
After reviewing his stats, Qin Feng closed his personal information page.
Just then, his expression shifted slightly, and he looked up in a certain direction.
His powerful sense of smell picked up a faint scent of blood drifting from that direction and moving rapidly toward him.
Could some injured ferocious beast be approaching?
The thought had barely formed when footsteps and voices came from the distance.
"Damn it! Our group was so unlucky. We ran into two Gnawing Giant Rats at once, and they caught us completely off guard!"
"Yeah! Everyone got hurt, and Li Yue and Zhou Cheng died horribly on the spot."
"Good thing Boss Hu was smart. We fought as we retreated, lured that giant rat into a pit, and surrounded it and killed it."
"Ah, enough about that! The other giant rat was badly wounded and dying. Who knows if it got away?"
"Let's hurry over! Don't let someone else snatch up the spoils!"
"Let's go!"
As soon as those words fell, the footsteps quickened.
Qin Feng was startled.
From what they were saying, wasn't he the one who had snatched up that giant rat?
The five of them were heading straight toward him.
It turned out they had been a group of seven.
Earlier, they had encountered two giant gnawing beasts.
After a chaotic battle, one giant rat had been badly wounded, Li Yue and Zhou Cheng had died horribly on the spot, and the other five had all sustained injuries.
Seeing that things were going badly, those five had fought while retreating, finally using the terrain and their wits to kill the giant rat pursuing them.
Now they were returning to kill the badly wounded giant rat.
Seeing that the situation looked bad, Qin Feng quickly crouched down, slipped into the grass, and crept away into the distance...
He did not want to clash with them, because there was no need.
Besides, he was the one who had taken advantage of their efforts.
With his speed talent, Qin Feng was exceptionally nimble and extremely fast.
The assistance of his Sense of Smell Enhancement also let him anticipate some routes in advance.
In mere moments, he slipped away, leaving the scene far behind.
Before long, several furious roars rang out behind him.
"Who?! Who stole our spoils?!"
"Bastard! Goddamn bastard!"
Far away, Qin Feng felt like laughing when he heard those roars.
He was no kindhearted soul.
Besides, in this bloody world full of slaughter, mercy would only cost him his life.
Doing everything possible to seize resources would always be the main theme of this entire world.
Here, you either grew stronger or died!
Qin Feng ignored those people and continued searching for corpses...
A quarter of an hour later, relying on his powerful sense of smell, he found the corpse of a bloodfang rabbit.
After using Endless Extraction, he gained another 2 strength points, leaving him secretly delighted...
Then he continued searching for corpses...
And so, across the Beginner Plains, more than two hundred groups struggled to surround and kill various level 1 ferocious beasts.
Qin Feng did nothing else, simply searching everywhere for corpses and extracting stats, enjoying himself immensely.
In the blink of an eye, three hours passed.
He found more than a dozen ferocious beast corpses in succession.
There were bloodfang rabbits, Gnawing Giant Rats, grassland gray wolves, berserk wild boars, venomous nine-ringed snakes...
He also discovered a rule.
For each type of level 1 ferocious beast, he could only use Endless Extraction three times.
Each extraction yielded 2 stat points.
A fourth extraction had no effect.
Over the course of his search, he had extracted from bloodfang rabbits, Gnawing Giant Rats, grassland gray wolves, and berserk wild boars on the Beginner Plains three times each, so there was no need to keep searching for them.
Only the venomous nine-ringed snake was different: he had encountered just one.
In addition, seven more humans had died during this time.
He had only found one of their corpses, gaining the F-rank talent-Vision Enhancement-from it, which counted as a reward of sorts.
At that moment, amid a patch of bushes.
Qin Feng brought up his personal information to check his progress.
[Name]: Qin Feng [Level]: 1 (30/100) [Strength]: 20 [Agility]: 21 [Constitution]: 18 [Energy]: 30 [Talents]: Endless Extraction (SSS-rank), Super Strength Enhancement (D-rank) Speed Enhancement (E-rank), Sense of Smell Enhancement (F-rank) Vision Enhancement (F-rank) [Skills]: None [Combat power assessment]: 2 stars
"My combat power assessment has finally reached two stars."
After reviewing his stats, Qin Feng was overjoyed.
This was only the combat power assessment.
If his various talents were included, his overall strength could definitely reach the peak of three stars, or even four stars.
With his current strength, he could absolutely take on a level 1 ferocious beast alone.
