NOVEL WEB Chapter 33 - A Pleasant Surprise
Chapter 33 – A Pleasant Surprise
Time passed swiftly!
In the blink of an eye, two hours had gone by. At Qin Feng’s feet lay over twenty corpses: thirteen Level 3 ferocious beasts and eleven Level 6 ferocious beasts.
He had personally slain those Level 6 ferocious beasts.
The corpses of Level 3 ferocious beasts came from trades, and he had already extracted everything, amassing a bountiful harvest. At that moment, Qin Feng held a cigarette in his mouth and silently observed the corpses scattered around him.
It had been quite some time since any ferocious beasts had arrived. It seemed that he had already exterminated most of the ferocious beasts in this area, and it was time for him to take action.
Speaking of which, there were five types of Level 3 ferocious beasts in total.
He had reached the extraction limit for four of them, with only the White Fox remaining.
As for Level 6 ferocious beasts, there were only four types, and he had reached the extraction limit for three of them, leaving only the Night Owl with a shortage of two.
Originally, he had planned to wait until he had extracted all the Level 6 ferocious beasts before moving on to the Level 7 ferocious beast territory.
However, now it seemed unnecessary.
In this round of wagering, the Heavenly Dao had opened up rewards for maps from Level 1 to 10 and had also provided beast encyclopaedias from levels 1 to 10.
Of course, these beast encyclopaedias only contained information about regular ferocious beasts, with no descriptions of mutated or king-level beasts.
It was because of these encyclopaedias that he knew there were five types of Level 3 ferocious beasts and four types of Level 6 ferocious beasts.
Qin Feng leisurely exhaled a puff of smoke and flicked the cigarette butt into the campfire.
He checked his Level progress: Level 5 (2570/3000)
He wasn’t far from reaching Level 6.
Next, he glanced at the leaderboard rankings:
911th Newbie Village Level Ranking
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 at all!
Two hours had passed, and Liu Xuan and Long Shan had both reached Level 4. There were also twenty-one people who had reached Level 3. All those in the top one hundred were, without exception, at Level 2.
It was evident that everyone was working hard, and Qin Feng felt quite pleased about it. Nevertheless, these people were all his compatriots from the Dragon Nation, and he naturally hoped that they would all become stronger. After experiencing the gamble event, he realized that there might be more such situations in the future.
On the planet Blue Star, there were no shortage of countries with ill intentions towards the Dragon Nation.
With this in mind, he switched to the Chat Channel.
It was deep into the night, but the channel was still buzzing with activity.
The diligence of the people from the Dragon Nation was evident. Qin Feng sent two messages directly:
Qin Feng: “Starting now, I will only purchase the corpses of Level 3 ferocious beasts, White Fox. I will stop purchasing corpses of other Level 3 ferocious beasts.”
Qin Feng: “I will continue to purchase the corpses of Level 4 and Level 5 ferocious beasts. Reminder to everyone, the supply of tier-1 refined steel sword is limited, so it’s first come, first served!”
“Wow! Qin Feng has spoken!”
“Wow! Our idol! Seeing Qin Feng appear makes me so excited!”
“Oh my goodness! Qin Feng, do you only need the corpses of Level 3 White Fox? You don’t want the corpses of other Level 3 ferocious beasts?”
“Oh no! I was thinking of killing another Level 3 ferocious beast to exchange for some grilled meat with you! I didn’t expect you wouldn’t need them!”
“The person upstairs, Qin Feng has made it very clear. He currently needs the corpses of Level 4 and 5 ferocious beasts the most. Let’s go hunt Level 4 ferocious beasts!”
“Haha! The person upstairs, our group has already killed two Level 4 ferocious beasts. We just need to collect one more Level 4 ferocious beast corpse to exchange it for a tier-1 steel sword with Qin Feng!”
“Your efficiency is really high! Our group struggled for half a day and only managed to kill one Level 4 ferocious beast!”
“Wow, you big shots are incredible! You can even hunt Level 4 ferocious beasts!”
Qin Feng felt pleased when he saw this. These people were already hunting Level 4 ferocious beasts, which would save him a lot of time.
At that moment, in the Chat Channel, the profile picture of a middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor named Gu Ming began to flash.
Qin Feng had a strong impression of him because this person had consistently ranked in the top five on the leaderboard.
Gu Ming: “Qin Feng, I just hunted a Level 2 mutated ferocious beast and obtained a Black Iron Treasure Chest, which yielded a tier-1 item – ‘Resource Gambling Order’!”
As soon as this message was posted, the Chat Channel erupted in excitement.
“Wow, a Resource Gambling Order!”
“Good stuff! This is really good stuff!”
“Mr. Gu Ming, are you going to activate the Resource Gambling Order? Let’s have another gamble with the other newbie villages!”
“Yeah! I really want another gamble! That way, we can double our resources again!”
“Haha! You’re speaking right from my heart! The last time was so much fun; I really want to do it again!”
“The person upstairs, be careful! What if we lose?”
“Haha! With Qin Feng here in our village, can we lose?”
“Mr. Gu Ming, when you mentioned the Resource Gambling Order, did that mean you were going to use it?”
Gu Ming: “No, that’s not the case. Using this token has special requirements, and I can’t use it. I want to make a trade with Qin Feng using this token.”
Seeing this, Qin Feng became curious.
Qin Feng: “What kind of trade?”
Gu Ming: “I want to use this token, along with the newbie short sword I have, to exchange for a tier-1 Refined Steel sword. What do you think?”
Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled. This trade was quite advantageous for him. The attack power of a tier-1 weapon generally ranged from 5 to 8 points. His tier-1 steel sword only had +5 attack, making it one of the less impressive tier-1 weapons. However, it was still very tempting for these newbies.
Letting Gu Ming trade a steel sword for a Resource Gambling Order, plus a newbie short sword, was a great deal.
Qin Feng: “Sure! But you’ll have to add the corpse of that mutated ferocious beast.”
Gu Ming: “No problem! The corpse is yours! I’m so grateful to Mr. Qin Feng!”
Gu Ming was overjoyed, his excitement evident in his tone.
Qin Feng: “Let’s switch to the interdimensional trading channel.”
Gu Ming: “Okay!”
So, the two of them switched to the trading channel and quickly completed the trade. Qin Feng retrieved the items: a token, a newbie short sword, and a ferocious beast corpse.
The token was entirely black, made of a material that wasn’t gold or iron, and it was covered in strange runes; it was the Resource Gambling Order.
[Resource Gambling Order: Each newbie village can only have one appearance, and only the village’s highest-ranked member has the qualification to use it.]
Seeing this, Qin Feng understood why Gu Ming had sold it to him.
[Reminder: After the token is activated, if the village wins, the rewards for the activator are doubled. If the village loses, the penalties for the activator are doubled.]
Oh! So, the activator’s rewards and penalties are doubled. In other words, if they lose the gamble, the other villagers would lose 20 attribute points, but the activator would lose 40 points.
In that case, Edward is in for some trouble!
Thinking about this, Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle.
However, if they were to win, the rewards for the activator would also double.
This doubling wasn’t just for the 40 attribute points. If the activator led their village to victory, the extra reward of 50 attribute points would also double to 100 points.
What a fantastic item!
This token was undoubtedly a great find, and Qin Feng was secretly thrilled. This token was just perfect for him. He couldn’t wait to activate a resource gamble right away.
[Reminder: Wu Yong used three Level 4 ferocious beast corpses to exchange for tier-1 Refined Steel Sword.]
[Reminder: Hu Neng used a 0-tier newbie short sword to exchange for 10 pounds of roasted meat.]
At that moment, the Heavenly Dao sent another series of reminders.
It seemed like one good thing after another was happening.
Qin Feng was delighted and quickly retrieved those ferocious beast corpses. He had attracted another bountiful harvest …
