Discovering 'Infinite Extraction'
So, what exactly does this 'Infinite Extraction' do?
Qin Feng focused his mind on the talent section, and a line of explanation automatically appeared. His heart raced in anticipation, wondering if this ability could be his ticket to survival and dominance in this brutal new world.
> **[Infinite Extraction]: Can extract anything from any target, yielding unexpected effects.**
The explanation was a bit vague—it seemed like he would have to experiment with it to understand its potential fully. There was a sense of mystery to it that both intrigued and worried Qin Feng. Would this be a game-changer, or just an overhyped ability?
Talent Awakening Chaos
With that thought, he quickly switched to the chat channel, which was already filled with excitement and chaos.
"Haha! I've awakened my talent! I have an E-level talent—Strength Enhancement. When activated, my strength doubles!"
"Haha! I have Speed Enhancement—when I use it, my speed doubles! I can't wait to test it out!"
"Mine's not bad either! It's Constitution Enhancement, which doubles my defense when activated. I feel invincible!"
"Whoa! I actually awakened a D-level talent—Flame Control! I can control fire now!"
"Wow! I can control ice! I'm not just an ordinary person anymore—I'm a superhero now! Haha!"
"Haha! This world is so interesting! I can't wait to see what else we can do."
"My talent is enhanced sense of smell—can only increase my smell sensitivity tenfold. Damn! It's just an F-level talent!"
"Mine is enhanced vision, also an F-level talent. Boohoo! It's not fair!"
At that moment, everyone had awakened their talents.
Some were thrilled, others disappointed. The chat channel was a mix of elation and envy, with some boasting and others lamenting their fate.
Qin Feng silently observed, wanting to see if anyone had awakened an S-level talent or higher. Knowing the abilities of others would help him gauge the competition and potential threats, as well as identify possible allies. It was crucial to understand who posed a threat and who could be useful.
Just then, a notification from the Heavenly Path appeared.
> **[Announcement: Talent awakening in this beginner village has been completed.]**
>
> **[F-level talents awakened: 787 people]**
>
> **[E-level talents awakened: 194 people]**
>
> **[D-level talents awakened: 17 people]**
>
> **[C-level or higher talents awakened: 2 people]**
The Reality of Rare Talents
It seemed that most people had awakened F-level or E-level talents. Only about 2% had awakened a D-level talent.
His SSS-level talent must be extraordinarily rare, and the realization filled him with both pride and trepidation. The weight of such a powerful ability meant he had a chance to stand out, but it also brought enormous risk. If others found out, he could become a target.
Qin Feng's eyes lit up with determination.
Right, two people had awakened talents of C-level or higher, and one of them was himself.
Who was the other?
With that thought, Qin Feng looked back at the chat channel.
"My god! Only 17 people out of 1,000 awakened D-level talents. How many can awaken an SSS-level talent out of ten billion people?"
"Don't even mention SSS-level talents. I bet even S-level talents are incredibly rare worldwide."
"I doubt anyone among the ten billion people can awaken an SSS-level talent. It's just impossible!"
"It seems getting a good talent is really tough! We're lucky if we even get a D-level."
"Yeah! Those who awaken D-level talents are already strong. Awakening a C-level talent is even more remarkable."
"By the way, there are two people in our village who awakened C-level talents. Who are they?"
"Hey, you two C-level bigshots, come out and say hello!"
"Yeah, let us pay our respects to you!"
Revealing C-Level Talents
At this moment, an avatar of a young man named Liu Xuan flashed.
**Liu Xuan**: "Hey everyone, I awakened a C-level talent—Magnetism Control!"
"Whoa! Magnetism Control! That sounds awesome!"
"Yeah! Could it be as strong as Magneto's power?"
"Liu Xuan, please take me under your wing! I'll follow you from now on!"
"Brother Liu Xuan, I want to join you too!"
The chat channel went wild at that moment, with everyone flattering Liu Xuan. People were eager to align themselves with someone powerful, hoping it would increase their own chances of survival.
"By the way, everyone, there are two people with C-level talents or higher. Who is the other one?"
"Come on, bigshot, let yourself be known!"
Everyone was eagerly waiting.
Qin Feng saw this and quietly left the chat channel.
Keeping a Low Profile
His talent was too outrageous, and he couldn't reveal it so easily. He knew the risks—jealousy and fear could bring dangerous enemies.
After all, in a world filled with slaughter, jealousy could bring danger to him. The more powerful he appeared, the more others might want to take him down or exploit him.
More importantly, his combat power was only 1 star and still extremely weak, without any real ability to protect himself.
The SSS-level talent was his biggest trump card, something he couldn't afford to expose. He needed to bide his time and grow stronger before anyone could discover the truth.
Moreover, he still hadn't figured out exactly what Infinite Extraction could do. There were so many possibilities, and he needed to test them all.
The Beginner Assessment
Just then, the voice of the Heavenly Path echoed again.
> **[Announcement: From this moment, you can leave the wooden cabin and enter the beginner village. In ten seconds, the beginner assessment will begin.]**
>
> **[Assessment content: All participants must reach level 10 within seven days. Those who fail will be eliminated on the spot; those who perform well will receive generous rewards.]**
>
> **[Level-up method: Hunt various ferocious beasts, demons, and monsters to obtain energy for leveling up.]**
**Buzz~!**
As soon as the notification ended, a rusty dagger descended from the sky along a pillar of light.
Qin Feng caught it casually.
> **[Beginner Dagger: Attack Power +2, a rusty dagger. A standard item for every beginner, Tier 0 equipment.]**
> **[Attack power corresponds to strength. 1 point of strength equals 1 point of attack power.]**
Not bad!
It could add 2 points to his attack. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
Qin Feng gripped the handle of the dagger and swung it a few times—it felt just right. The weight was manageable, and it seemed sturdy enough to use in combat.
At that moment, an idea came to him, and he placed his hand on the blade, activating his talent—**Infinite Extraction!**
**Buzz~!**
A flash of white light appeared!
The rust on the blade began to disappear visibly, accompanied by a faint scraping sound, leaving behind a sharp and gleaming new edge. Qin Feng could feel the cold metal transforming under his hand, the weight subtly shifting as the blade was restored.
Qin Feng flipped his hand, and rust and debris fell from his palm. A sense of triumph surged through him—seeing the result of his talent firsthand made him feel powerful, as if he was beginning to tap into a much greater potential.
> **[Infinite Extraction successful! You have removed the rust and debris from the Beginner Dagger. The Beginner Dagger has been upgraded to Refined Steel Dagger.]**
> **[Refined Steel Dagger: Attack Power +5, Tier 1 item.]**
Understanding Infinite Extraction
Hmm!
So, Infinite Extraction could be used like this.
"Interesting!"
Qin Feng was delighted. His talent wasn't just about taking from others—it could also improve what he already had.
In just a short time, his Beginner Dagger had gone from Tier 0 to Tier 1, with its attack power increased to 5 points. It was a significant improvement, especially considering how weak the original dagger was.
Then, he thought for a moment, placed his hand on the blade, and continued extracting...
> **[Infinite Extraction failed! Target quality too low, extraction limit reached.]**
As expected!
Qin Feng swung the steel dagger, already satisfied. He now had an edge over the others, literally.
At least for now, his weapon was better than everyone else's.
Gathering in the Village Plaza
Suddenly, a loud commotion came from outside the cabin.
