Bab 3: Surprise! Continuous Gains!
The Shocking Death of Wang Qiang
In just a short while, the supposedly powerful Wang Qiang—who was known for his impressive strength and combat skills—was killed. And it wasn't even by a high-level beast—it was a mere Level 1 ferocious beast.
Everyone was stunned! Gasps echoed through the crowd, and some whispered nervously to each other, while others simply froze in fear, unable to comprehend how someone as strong as Wang Qiang could be defeated so easily.
The difficulty of survival in this world was far greater than they had imagined.
Soon, a faint scent of blood wafted in from outside the village.
It was Wang Qiang's blood.
It served as a grim reminder to everyone that this game was very real—and people could die. The realization made many of them tense up, their determination visibly wavering as fear settled in. Some clenched their weapons tighter, while others exchanged uneasy glances, their resolve shaken.
Fear gripped everyone. Some people's hands began to tremble, and others had wide, fearful eyes, reflecting the terror they felt at the reality of their situation.
The Voice of the Heavenly Path
At that moment, the voice of the Heavenly Path echoed again.
> **[Reminder: The combat power evaluation of a Level 1 beast is 3 stars, a Level 2 beast is 4 stars, a Level 3 beast is 5 stars, and so on. This evaluation helps determine the level of difficulty that Qin Feng and others will face in combat and highlights the challenges ahead.]**
> **[Combat power evaluation is based on the four-dimensional attributes and does not account for talent abilities.]**
> **[Reminder: The Beginner Village is protected by a barrier, preventing ferocious beasts from entering. However, once the 48-hour beginner protection period ends, they will be able to enter.]**
Hearing these reminders, the crowd panicked even more. Some began shouting in confusion, while others moved frantically, their faces filled with fear and uncertainty as they tried to make sense of the situation.
"Everyone, we can't just sit here and wait to die! We must kill monsters and level up, or we'll be doomed!"
"Team up! Let's form groups! There's strength in numbers!"
"Exactly! Those who want to team up, come over here. Let's reveal our attributes and talents so we can coordinate better!"
"Makes sense!"
The crowd quickly agreed, nodding in unison and immediately beginning to form groups, their voices overlapping in excitement and urgency.
Forming Teams
Soon, everyone began forming teams.
Naturally, Liu Xuan, who had a C-level talent that allowed him to control magnetism, became the most sought-after teammate. His ability was not only versatile in combat but also useful for manipulating metal weapons, making him highly valuable in any team.
The dozen or so individuals with D-level talents were also highly sought after.
Qin Feng watched all of this silently, unmoved. He knew that joining a group meant giving up control and potentially exposing his true abilities—something he wasn't ready to risk. He preferred to stay alone, knowing that relying on others could mean exposing his weaknesses, and he trusted no one enough to reveal his true abilities.
Forming a team required revealing one's attributes and talents, and he had no intention of doing so.
He did not want to expose his trump cards.
Soon, about a thousand people formed roughly two hundred groups and set off in an imposing manner.
A quarter of an hour later, only Qin Feng remained in the plaza, and the sounds of intense fighting echoed from the village entrance—metal clashing against metal, the shouts of men, and the roars of beasts filled the air, painting a vivid picture of the fierce battle.
Before long, the fighting noises at the village entrance ceased, leaving an eerie silence in its wake. The sudden stillness made Qin Feng acutely aware of his own heartbeat, the atmosphere heavy with tension as if the entire village was holding its breath.
Ultimately, the sheer numbers of the humans allowed them to kill the ferocious beasts at the entrance.
After a while, the noise at the village entrance also disappeared.
Qin Feng Takes Action
Qin Feng knew that the teams had moved further away—he could tell by the fading sounds of fighting and the diminishing presence of people around the village entrance.
It was time for him to act.
With that thought, he took a deep breath, grabbed his steel dagger, and headed toward the village entrance.
As he passed through the protective barrier, he got a good look at the outside.
Outside was a grassy field, with mountains and forests in the distance, along with rivers.
The area was full of wild grass and shrubs, some of which were over a meter tall, giving the place a primitive, untamed atmosphere.
A light breeze blew, and a strong scent of blood lingered in the air.
It was a reminder that this was a world full of slaughter, where one could lose their life at any moment.
Qin Feng gripped the dagger nervously, his ears straining to catch any sound—rustling leaves, the whisper of the wind, or the distant calls of animals—as he cautiously observed his surroundings.
When he felt there was no immediate danger, he carefully moved forward.
Extracting from Wang Qiang
Before long, he came across a body—it was Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang's chest was caved in, his stomach slashed open by a beast's claws, with his internal organs spilling out. Qin Feng felt a wave of nausea at the gruesome sight but forced himself to stay composed—he couldn't afford to show weakness now. It was a gruesome sight, not for the faint of heart.
Qin Feng looked on in horror, not just at the brutality of the scene, but at the realization that even someone as strong as Wang Qiang could fall so easily. It was a stark reminder of the dangers they all faced.
Still, he steeled himself and approached the body, enduring the strong stench of blood, placing his hand on Wang Qiang's body…
**Buzz~!**
A white light emanated from his palm…
> **[Infinite Extraction successful! You have obtained the D-level talent—Berserk Strength!]**
Whoa!
Berserk Strength!
Haha!
Qin Feng's face was filled with joy.
This Infinite Extraction talent was incredible!
He had managed to extract Wang Qiang's talent.
Immediately, he checked his talent panel.
> **[Talents]: Infinite Extraction (SSS-level), Berserk Strength (D-level)**
> **[Berserk Strength]: Strength talent, triples strength!**
Sure enough, he now had an additional talent.
His Strength attribute was 8 points, but with the Berserk Strength talent, it was equivalent to having 24 points of Strength. The surge in power made Qin Feng feel a rush of confidence—he was no longer the same weak individual he had been before, and this newfound strength only fueled his determination to grow even stronger.
His power had increased significantly!
"So that's how Infinite Extraction works!"
Qin Feng was filled with anticipation for the future.
Speaking of Wang Qiang, his strength wasn't weak, but his specialty was only in raw power—his speed and defense were inferior to that of the beast. It wasn't surprising that he lost in a one-on-one fight.
It seemed that if Qin Feng wanted to become stronger, he needed balanced growth without any weaknesses.
Discovering the Bloodfang Rabbit
"Hmm? What's that…?"
At that moment, Qin Feng spotted something in the grass about ten meters ahead—a beast carcass.
He quickly walked over and found that it was a large rabbit, about 1.5 meters long, covered in gray fur with two blood-red fangs.
It had to be the Level 1 beast—the Bloodfang Rabbit—the one that had killed Wang Qiang.
However, it had later been killed by the humans who came afterward, its skull half-smashed in.
Qin Feng didn't hesitate. He approached quickly and placed his hand on the Bloodfang Rabbit…
**Buzz~!**
A white light flashed!
A warm energy flowed from the Bloodfang Rabbit into his body.
He immediately felt a warm sensation spreading throughout his body, and his strength began to increase. The surge of power was exhilarating, filling him with a sense of newfound capability. Qin Feng couldn't help but smile—this was just the beginning of his transformation.
> **[Infinite Extraction successful! You have gained 2 Strength points!]**
Amazing!
He had gained 2 Strength points!
With this, his Strength attribute had reached 10 points, finally matching that of an average adult.
However, with his Berserk Strength talent, his strength was tripled, equivalent to 30 points of Strength for others.
Testing the Extraction Limits
Wait, could these bodies be extracted multiple times?
He wondered, then activated his talent again…
> **[Infinite Extraction failed!]**
> **[Reminder: Targets below Level 20 can only be extracted once successfully.]**
So that's how it works!
Qin Feng nodded in understanding.
Gathering More Resources
Keep going!
He needed to find more bodies!
Those teams had all left, and they must have hunted quite a few ferocious beasts along the way.
If he followed their path, he might be able to find more carcasses.
With that thought, Qin Feng quickly turned around and went back to Wang Qiang's body, picking up the rusty beginner dagger beside it.
The beginner dagger—everyone had one.
People treated it as a temporary weapon and didn't value it.
But in Qin Feng's hands, it could be turned into something valuable.
He placed his hand on the blade, and a white light emanated from his palm.
> **[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.]**
Not bad! Not bad!
He had gained another Tier 1 weapon.
The feeling of reaping rewards like this was incredible!
Choosing a Path
With both daggers in hand, he looked around and noticed that there were several paths leading away, all marked by footprints.
He chose the path with the most footprints and followed it…
With more people, it was easier to kill ferocious beasts, which meant he had a better chance of finding more bodies…
And so, Qin Feng set off on his path of continuous gains…
