《Global Evolution: Summoning a Dragon from the Start》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Where is this place? How did I appear here?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on¡­ what the hell happened? Where are my clothes? Why am I only wearing shorts?¡± ¡°Straw hut? Wait, what the hell is this place? Why am I here?¡± Chris sat on the ground and looked around, recalling what had happened a second ago. According to his memory, Chris was on his way home a second ago, but the next second, the people on the street disappeared one after another. He was no exception. When he came back to his senses, he appeared here. ¡°Could it be¡­ could it be that I transmigrated?¡± Chris was a little puzzled. After all, who hadn¡¯t read this plot in the novel? However, those transmigrator main characters in the novel had high status. They were a prince of some kingdom who had fallen from grace, or could also be some kind of heaven-shaking villain. At the very least, they would have a place to stay. But look at him. Besides a straw hut, he only had shorts! Honestly, if he transmigrated to this world just to become an ordinary person, he might as well have not transmigrated! Wasn¡¯t the office work in his world good? Helpless, Chris could only look at the place that might have a clue. That¡¯s right, it was the straw hut in front of him. Simple and crude. Chris gave this evaluation. Perhaps even in his original world, this sort of straw hut that looked to be hundreds of years old was very rare. However, the only way to resolve his current situation was this straw hut. Chris pushed open the door and entered. Before he could see what was going on in the room, dialog boxes appeared in front of him. ¡°Elementary base. Can produce a life form every day. It can be tribal people, small animals, ferocious beasts, magical races,¡­ All kinds of life forms, random gender, random strength, random talent, random race!¡± ¡°The higher the level of the base, the higher the chances of obtaining a stronger life form!¡± Population Limit: 0 / 10 Upgrade Requirements: Wood: 0/500, Stone: 0/500 Upgrade Time: 30 seconds Seeing this, the doubts in Chris¡¯s heart instantly disappeared. Am I going to be playing a simulation game? ¡°To summon powerful life forms, I still need to raise the level of my base. To put it bluntly, the level of the base is the most important factor in surviving in this world.¡± ¡°However, since the talent and strength are random, it means that my success or failure will depend on this summoning!¡± ¡°If I can summon some Cthulhu entity, won¡¯t I be able to do whatever I want in this world?¡± Thinking up to this point, Chris¡¯s heart was filled with anticipation. This was because his life in this world could very well be decided by the life form summoned this time! However, Chris did not start the summoning immediately. When the dialog boxes gradually disappeared, he saw the scene inside the straw hut clearly. Besides a bed, there was only a blue stone floating in the middle. Confused, Chris pressed his hand on it. At the moment of contact, the stone emitted a dazzling light and the light instantly fused into Chris¡¯ body. [Beep¡­ Connected to the base stone! Authority issued!] Following a mechanical voice, Chris saw a chat room appear in front of him. A series of messages appeared before him. ¡°Oh! My God, what is this place? Does anyone know?¡± ¡°Can someone come and save me? I was thrown to a deserted island! If I can return to our world, I will definitely give you all my money!¡± ¡°Hahaha! The end of the world is here. Ignorant weaklings, just keep on wailing. What awaits you will ultimately be death! And I will become the master of this new world!¡± ¡°Huh? Is there something wrong with the clown above? Forget it, what¡¯s the first creature you guys summoned? Mine is a rabbit. Other than acting cute, it can¡¯t do anything¡­¡± ¡°Damn! You¡¯re luckier than me. I got a hamster. It¡¯s ridiculously small. Are you telling me I have to rely on this thing to survive in this world?¡± ¡°Interesting, interesting! Weaklings, my creature is an armed barbarian. I have said that I will become the master of this new world! Before long, all of you will become my people!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ Through these conversations, Chris quickly understood his situation. Just as he had thought at the beginning, he was not the only one who came to this world. From the looks of it, although the number of people summoned here was not large, it was definitely not small! There were a total of 2,000 people in the chat group, and they could only send five messages a day. Even so, when Chris opened the global channel, he found countless messages appearing on the screen. He also saw that there was only one chance to post a message every day on the global channel. Other than a small number of meaningless comments, most of the people posting on the global channel were asking for help. ¡°Does everyone only have one chance to post at the global channel? Then we have to take this seriously. I wonder if we¡¯ll have more chances to post in the future¡­¡± Chris glanced at the global channel before moving his gaze back to the straw hut. Chris opened the summoning interface and looked at the prompt before him. Chris did not hesitate. ¡°Begin summoning!¡± Chris also looked at the other end of the room expectantly. This world was different from what he had imagined. It would not be easy to summon those powerful life forms. As for the Cthulhu entity, it seemed that he was overthinking¡­ It would already be considered very good to be able to summon a creature with combat power. In an instant, the blue stone suspended in the air burst forth with a dazzling light that enveloped the entire straw hut. At the same time, countless arcane energy gathered in front of Chris. Chirp chirp chirp! No way! Did he summon a bird? Chris panicked when he heard the voice. However, right after the arcane light disappeared, Chris looked at the little creature in front of him. It doesn¡¯t seem to be a bird? Looking at the lizard with wings and ice spikes which breathed out blue smoke from time to time, Chris began to think. Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in Chris¡¯s mind! ¡°Ding! Congratulations, you have summoned the world¡¯s first magical creature: Frost Dragon (whelp)!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios A prompt sounded in Chris¡¯ mind. He looked at the little fellow in front of him in disbelief. ¡°This is a dragon?¡± As expected, when Chris saw the life form he had summoned, he was slightly surprised. How could there be such a cute dragon! After double-checking, Chris nodded slightly and said, ¡°Although your body is a little small, your strength is definitely not weaker than those plebeian animals. At the very least, after raising you up, I will have a place in this world.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll call you Whitey from now on!¡± Chris had a smile on his face as he carried Whitey in his arms. If anyone else knew that a grand Frost Dragon was given the name of a dog, they would probably die of laughter. This was a dragon! Frost Dragons were life forms that others did not even have a chance to envy! And he actually gave it a dog¡¯s name! ¡°Chirp chirp chirp!¡± As Whitey flapped its wings, it let out a happy sound. It seemed that it was very satisfied with the name Chris gave it. After Chris placed it on the ground, it flew around happily. At this moment, Chris suddenly realized that there was a bright symbol above Whitey¡¯s head. Chris quickly opened it. The next moment, a stats window appeared in front of him. ¡­ Name: Whitey Race: Frost Dragon Growth: Whelp (0/1000) Loyalty: 100 Potential: Level 7 Strength: 400 (1 Strength= 10KG) Speed: 40 Soul: 300 Mana: 100/100 Skills: Ice Spike (Elementary Bronze 20 Mana), Ice Shield (Peak Bronze, 50 Mana), Ice Arrow Rain (Medium Gold, 70 Mana) Status: Can be dispatched. ¡­ Chris looked at Whitey¡¯s stats window and immediately focused his attention on the 400 points of strength. ¡°One strength means ten kilograms of strength. Does that mean that Whitey has four tons of strength? I didn¡¯t expect that despite its size, it¡¯s quite strong?¡± Chris sighed inwardly. It was one thing for a huge dragon to possess such immense strength. After all, they were the Dragon race. Wasn¡¯t it normal to possess great power? However, Whitey was just a whelp. How could it unleash such terrifying power? Is it because of the mechanism of this world? Has my strength also increased? ¡°Oh right, if Whitey¡¯s stats window can be checked, then I should be able to see my stats window too, right?¡± Chris opened his personal interface. Name: Chris Race: Human Base Level: LV1 Potential: Level 1 Strength: 7 (1 Strength= 10KG) Speed: 8 Soul: 11 Mana: 0/0 Magic: Unlearned Skill: Corpse Dissection Population: 2/10 Buildings: Base Lv1 Item: None ¡­ The series of numbers made Chris swallow his saliva. I only have seven points of strength? 7 strength made Chris realize the severity of his situation. From the messages in the chat group, he understood that there were many dangerous existences in this world. If he were to only hide behind Whitey, he would never be able to stand up! And¡­ ¡°Oh my god, seven points of strength. Doesn¡¯t that mean that if I fight Whitey, I will be insta-killed?¡± Chris then looked at Whitey who was flying around the room. ¡°Looks like if I want to survive in this world, I have to rely on Whitey, but I can¡¯t rely on it too much¡­¡± ¡°I have to increase my own strength.¡± Chris felt depressed at the thought of the monsters outside. But when he saw how silly Whitey looked, Chris felt more confident. ¡°Four tons of strength. So what if it¡¯s a tiger or a wolf?¡± With that, Chris waved his hand and kept the blue stone into his body. Then, he brought Whitey out. The blue stone was the foundation of the base. It could be stored in the body and taken out. As long as the foundation was still there, even if the base was destroyed, it could be rebuilt. However, if this base stone was snatched away or destroyed, then Chris¡¯s base would be gone. Without the base, the consequences would not be good in this world. Chris decided to keep the base stone in his body. As long as he did not die, nothing would happen to the base. However, if he died, the base would disappear. Even if he lived, he would become the lowest of the low in this world if he lost the base stone. What¡¯s the difference between that and jail¡­ ¡°Chirp chirp chirp!¡± After flying out of the straw hut, Whitey suddenly called out to Chris. Then, like a bullet, it flew towards where Chris pointed! ¡°Slow down! Whitey, slow down!¡± Chris hurried after it. The difference in speed between these two was a little too big! Thankfully, Whitey did not fly very fast. If not, Chris, who only had eight points of speed, might really not be able to catch up! Soon, the man and the dragon arrived under a large tree not far away. Chris could see three massive wild bulls leisurely sleeping far away. ¡­ Wild Bull Strength: 35 Speed: 17 Status: Vigorous Danger Level: Ferocious Beast! A single hit will take half your life! Chris glanced at the stats and bit his lip. Good lord. If this world¡¯s wild bull were to land a blow on him, he might even lose half his life? Didn¡¯t that mean that if these three wild bulls were to charge at him together, he would directly bid this life goodbye? However, Whitey¡¯s strength was not something these few wild bulls could compare with! Four tons of strength! Mere wild bulls were nothing! Even if they were to engage in melee combat, Whitey had no need to fear these wild bulls! ¡°Whitey, attack them!¡± ¡°You¡¯re a dragon!¡± Immediately, Chris gave Whitey an order. Without any hesitation, Whitey spread its wings and flew into the sky. The wild bulls seemed to have heard the sound and stood up vigilantly. However, before they realized it, countless ice arrows rained down from the sky. The huge ice arrows pierced through a wild bull¡¯s head. The other two wild bulls ran to other places. However, they could not escape from this arrow rain that was like a death god demanding their lives! After a few seconds, the three wild bulls fell to the ground. ¡°Impressive! My Whitey!¡± Chris praised from afar. With that, Chris swaggered over. In this world, with Whitey as his bodyguard, who could be his match? Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Whitey looked like it wanted to be praised. Chris patted the dragon¡¯s head in satisfaction. At the same time, Chris realized something. After killing the wild bulls, Whitey¡¯s growth value increased by 15 points! In other words, if Whitey continued to kill other creatures, Whitey would grow and its strength would increase again. With this in mind, Chris arrived before the three bulls. ¡°Wild Bull: It can be dissected!¡± A button appeared above the heads of the three bulls. Without any hesitation, Chris activated his only skill, Corpse Dissection. At the next moment, this huge bull was enveloped by a white light. In the blink of an eye, pieces of beef were laid out on the bullhide. At the same time, a pile of bones and internal organs were placed to the side. Chris also looked at the attributes of these items. ¡°Beef: Low-level ingredient. Consumption can satisfy your hunger! 500kg.¡± ¡°Bull¡¯s Heart: Low-level material. Consumption can satisfy hunger! Increase strength and speed by a small amount!¡± ¡°Bull¡¯s Bones: Low-level materials. Can be used to make weapons!¡± ¡°Bullhide: Low-level material, can be used to make armor. Can resist the cold!¡± Chris¡¯s eyes lit up when he read the introduction. ¡°It can actually increase speed and strength? This thing is really something good!¡± Chris became excited. ¡°Whitey, bring these back.¡± Chris wasn¡¯t in a hurry to continue hunting. Instead, he used the bullhide to wrap up all the items before letting Whitey carry them towards the base. On the way, Chris opened the chat group. John Joe: ¡°Help! I¡¯m being chased by a goat! Why do all the goats here have 13 points of strength! Can someone save me? I feel like even my base might not be able to stop this goat! Hey!¡± Rabbit Is Number One: ¡°Can anyone come?! My rabbit was eaten by a wolf the moment it left the house, and now this wolf is planning to eat me! If I had known earlier, I would have roasted this rabbit myself!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°Hahaha! A bunch of weaklings. This is a world of the strong. The barbarians that I summoned have already killed a small lamb. I am going to eat barbecue today! You guys can just wait for God to arrive!¡± Tom: ¡°D*mn! Boss, bring me along! You can actually obtain food in this world! I don¡¯t think I can even survive!¡± Jerry: ¡°There are lambs?! I can¡¯t even find water to drink. My summoned creature is a hamster!¡± Cindy: ¡°The two people above, one Tom and one Jerry, you can consider working together. Maybe your cat and mouse have some sort of bond!¡± ¡­ ¡­ Looking at the chat group, most of them were talking about how miserable they were. Only a few people were showing off their results. ¡°Looks like my luck is pretty good.¡± Chris looked at Whitey, who was carrying a few hundred kilograms of beef but did not feel tired at all. ¡°Wait. since there¡¯s danger¡ª¡± He suddenly thought of something and looked at the chat group. The number of people in the chat group had decreased! In other words, some people had already died in this world¡­ ¡°My God, there must be many more dangerous places in this world. I must be careful in the future¡­¡± Chris¡¯s heart suddenly grew heavy. Suddenly, he saw someone mention the trading platform in the chat group. Immediately, Chris opened the trading platform and tens of trades appeared. They were using wood and stone to exchange for food. Moreover, most of them were stone and wood for 1KG worth of meat. Seeing this, Chris wasn¡¯t in the mood to continue looking at these trades. Although he had quite a lot of meat, wood and stone were obviously much easier to obtain than meat. However, they were crucial materials for upgrading the base. In this world, apart from himself and the lifeforms he summoned, everyone else was an enemy. Therefore, he could not increase the enemy¡¯s strength. He opened the regional channel. Father Hamel: ¡°Dear friends, I have some bull meat here that I want to exchange for wood and stone. One KG beef for 27 wood or stone. I am putting them on the trading platform. First come, first served!¡± After saying that, Chris listed 100 kilograms of beef. As for Whitey, it didn¡¯t notice that it was missing a hundred kilograms of meat. After all, with its four tons of strength, it made no difference if there was a hundred kilograms less or a hundred kilograms more. 100 kilograms of meat was not that important to Chris. If he wanted to increase his strength, he had to increase the level of his base¡­ However, when Chris returned to the chat room again, he found the chat room had erupted with comments. The chat room of 2,000 people was in an uproar! Rabbit Is Number One: ¡°Bull! It is bull meat! I eat this beef, I¡¯ll definitely be able to kill that wolf blocking the entrance of my base! Father Hamel! Save me!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°How is this possible! This is beef! This person must have picked up a bull¡¯s corpse! Father, I think you¡¯re fake!¡± Jerry: ¡°Wow! So the real big boss is Father Hamel! Father, please save us!¡± Tom: ¡°Father, I¡¯m begging you. Bring us out of this world! I only have a blue cat in my hand. It eats more than me!¡± ¡­ ¡­ Arthur: ¡°Can you give me a piece of beef? I didn¡¯t manage to get the trade just now. I¡¯m willing to use 20 wood!¡± At this moment, the entire chat room was shocked by the 100 kilograms of beef that Chris had thrown out. They had all witnessed with their own eyes just how powerful a bull was. That was definitely not an existence they could fight against right now! And now, someone was actually trading its meat at the trading platform! Now, the name of Father Hamel had already resounded in the chat group. As for picking up corpses, most people didn¡¯t believe it. After all, if they could pick up corpses, why hadn¡¯t they seen one in such a long time? The chat room was filled with so many messages that Chris was unable to go through them all. However, when he saw the message from Arthur, he realized that his items were already sold out. In less than five minutes, the 100 kilograms of beef that he had placed on the trading platform was gone! ¡°Oh my God, it¡¯s really sold out! Indeed, with two thousand people, it would be much more efficient¡­¡± Seeing this, Chris felt a little emotional. He then looked at his own account on the trading platform. Wood: 1260. Stone: 1440. Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Back at the base, Chris retrieved all the wood and stone. Illusory lights appeared, and a pile of wood and stone was placed neatly in front of him. ¡°This world still has this kind of automatic placement mechanism. Not bad.¡± Chris nodded with satisfaction. Beside him, Whitey also opened its dragon mouth and happily watched this scene. It seemed like this was the first time it had seen such a scene. ¡°Ding! The materials are sufficient. Do you want to upgrade your base?¡± [Yes] [No] Suddenly, a mechanical voice appeared in his mind. Furthermore, two options appeared before Chris. Needless to say, these were definitely the two options to upgrade the base. Chris decisively chose yes. In this world, leveling up the base could increase one¡¯s strength. Chris also wanted to see what benefits he could get after leveling up his base. A heavy voice sounded, and a dazzling white light appeared in front of Chris. At the same time, the straw hut started to shine brightly. The white light disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chris subconsciously turned around and saw that the straw hut had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a house made of blocks and wood. However, when Chris reached the door, he heard sounds coming from inside. ¡°Could it be?¡± Chris had already guessed what would happen next, but he still wanted to witness it with his own eyes. Thus, Chris tried to open the door, but it was locked by an invisible force. ¡°What exactly is going on?¡± About thirty seconds later, when Chris was about to let Whitey break the door, the door opened by itself. The scene that greeted Chris¡¯s eyes shocked him! All sorts of furniture were placed in the wood compartmented room, and they were divided into several rooms. All the necessary furniture was present! The furniture was all made from wood from before. Every piece of furniture seemed to be made by a top-grade craftsman! ¡°Ding! Your base has been upgraded to level 2! Do you want to upgrade other buildings?¡± Seeing this, Chris opened the other panels. [Wood Warehouse: Level 1 Wood Warehouse can store 1,000 wood. Construction requires 200 wood!] [Stone Warehouse: Level 1 Stone Warehouse can store 1,000 stones. Construction requires 200 stones!] [Defense Wall: LV1 Defense Wall can resist small animals. Every square meter requires 10 wood and 15 stone.] Chris looked at his remaining wood and stone. ¡°Build a wood and stone warehouse. It should be enough for now.¡± Wood: 760 Stone Materials: 940 ¡°It is not an issue if I want to build a wood and stone warehouse with my current resources.¡± ¡°The key question is, how many materials are needed for the defense walls?¡± Chris started calculating. However, no matter how he analyzed it, the prerequisite was that he had to build a wood and stone warehouse first. ¡°Do you want to build a wood warehouse?¡± [Yes] [No] ¡°Do you want to build a stone warehouse?¡± [Yes] [No] Chris didn¡¯t hesitate at all. He chose yes for both. After all, who would know if someone would come to steal the materials if he left them here? As the saying goes, if he hoards food, and I hoard soldiers. He is my granary. However, if I were to store food in a safe place, it would be secure. As a result, the construction of this stone and wood warehouse was necessary! As soon as Chris ordered the constructions, the stone and wood disappeared, and two dazzling lights appeared in front of him. Chris, who was covering his eyes, could hear the sound of stone and wood being assembled. He was quite amazed. In this world, as long as there were enough materials, anything could be created! Putting his hands down, Chris saw an unbelievable scene. The amount of stone and wood in front of him had decreased greatly, but what replaced them were a stone building and a wooden building! These two buildings gave Chris a feeling that they were many times stronger than the original straw hut! Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey also cried out in surprise. ¡°However, how many materials does this defense wall require?¡± While Chris was puzzled, the system gave him an answer. ¡°Surrounding the wood warehouse, the stone warehouse, and the base with defense walls will cost 500 wood and 700 stone.¡± ¡°Detected that the host has sufficient stone and wood. Do you want to build?¡± [Yes] [No] Chris laughed when he saw this. ¡°This system is really considerate. It can even measure such a thing. I thought I had to estimate it.¡± Now, Chris truly understood that in this world, strength was everything! There was no need for him to estimate anything. As long as there were enough materials, the system would solve all the problems. Without any hesitation, Chris chose yes. ¡°System, start building.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the ground started trembling, starting from the base. At the same time, the large amount of stone and wood in the wood warehouse and stone warehouse started to disappear rapidly. Just as Chris was wondering what was going on, it pierced out of the ground like a spike. Walls made of wood and stone appeared before him. Moreover, from what Chris saw, these defense walls seemed to be tens of times stronger than the straw hut from before! Just as Whitey was about to test out the new ¡®furniture¡¯, Chris stopped it. ¡°Let me do it. Whitey, stand further away.¡± Upon hearing that, Whitey nodded its head slightly and hid obediently between the stone and wood warehouse. Chris kicked the defense wall strongly. The hard sensation stunned Chris. The defense walls did not even shake, the recoil instead sent Chris a few steps back! Even the wild bull from before might not be able to shake these sturdy walls! And you said this was used to defend against small animals? At the same time, a mechanical neutral voice sounded in his mind. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on becoming the first player in this world to be promoted to level 2 base! System reward: One copy of Witch Potion Crafting Book!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Upon hearing the notification, Chris¡¯s eyes lit up as he hurriedly checked the information regarding the Witch Potion. Witch Potion Level: High Dark Iron Introduction: With the corresponding ingredients, you can create the Witch Potion. After consuming it, strength increases slightly and mana increases to a certain extent! Consumption limit: 3 times Required ingredients: Flesh of a Ferocious Beast 10KG, Soul Cordata Grass x1. ¡°Witch Potion can increase mana!¡± Seeing the last sentence, Chris could not contain his excitement and shouted. When Whitey killed the wild bull, it used magic! And now, he could actually increase his mana by consuming this potion! In other words, in the future, Chris would be able to use mana to release magic like Whitey! ¡°Not only can it increase mana, but it can also increase strength and speed?¡± As he read through the information regarding the Witch Potion, Chris felt extremely shocked. Chris had never experimented with increasing his strength. However, he had Whitey who had 400 Strength Points which meant she possessed four tons of strength. In other words, if he increased his strength by one point, he would be able to obtain 1 kg of strength. If he were to combine it with the hearts of the wild bulls, wouldn¡¯t he be able to possess great strength in a short period of time? Chris walked to the kitchen and saw that the system had also prepared kitchen wares for him. The barbecue grill was one of them! Seeing this, Chris could no longer suppress his excitement. ¡°Whitey! Take a look around and see if there are any ferocious beasts. I want the stronger ones, like brown bears or leopards, the best would be fierce beasts like tigers and lions.¡± ¡°Go hunt some of those ferocious beasts. When you return, I¡¯ll show you my barbecue skills!¡± Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey naturally understood what Chris was saying. Hence, it flapped its wings happily and flew out. As for Chris, he placed the wild bulls¡¯ hearts on the grill and began to roast it. After a few seconds, the roasted meat emitted a rich fragrance. As he ate it, Chris could feel his strength increasing¡­ [Eating Wild Bull¡¯s Heart, Strength+1, Speed+1] [Eating Wild Bull¡¯s Heart, Strength+1, Speed+1] [Eating Wild Bull¡¯s Heart, Strength+1, Speed+1] [¡­] After consuming the wild bulls¡¯ hearts, Chris could feel his body brimming with energy. ¡°I only ate a few hearts, and my body has changed so much!¡± Right now, Chris¡¯s muscles were almost perfect, and his expression was also much more energetic. He no longer looked like an employee who had been wrecked by work. Shortly after, Chris opened his stats window and began to check. Name: Chris Race: Human Base Level: LV2 Potential: Level 1 Strength: 12 (1 Strength= 10KG) Speed: 11 Soul: 11 Mana: 0/0 Magic: Unlearned Skill: Corpse Dissection Population: 2/10 Buildings: Base Lv2 ¡­ With 120 kg of strength, even he might lose half his life if he were to punch himself. When Chris saw the remaining 400kg of beef, there was no joy on his face. Instead, there was only sorrow. The beef would not provide him with strength or speed enhancement. It could only fill his stomach. ¡°If everything goes according to plan, Whitey should bring more meat over soon.¡± Chris let out a long sigh. ¡°Who knows if this meat will rot or not?¡± ¡°Also, what is the Soul Cordata Grass? I have never seen it before, how can I find it?¡± The meat of a ferocious beast could be easily obtained, but how could he obtain this Soul Cordata Grass? Chris fell into deep thought. The next moment, he opened the trading platform. ¡°I just don¡¯t know if these people have seen the Soul Cordata Grass before. Wait, if they have some barbecue seasoning, exchanging the leftover beef for it is also a good choice.¡± With that in mind, Chris placed 200 kilograms of beef on the trading platform. At this moment, Chris came to the chat group and asked. Father Hamel: ¡°Everyone, do you know anything about Soul Cordata Grass or seasonings? I¡¯m willing to trade beef!¡± After saying this, Chris attached a video of himself roasting meat. When the video was released, the people in the chat group were all shocked. ¡°The seasoning can be exchanged for 25kg of beef, and the Soul Cordata Grass can be exchanged for 35kg of beef. If I have them, I will definitely exchange them with Father!¡± ¡°Hey! Why does Father Hamel have so much meat? Does the Lord favor him more?¡± ¡°Where did that Alexander the Great who said Father Hamel picked up a corpse go? Did Father pick up all these beef?¡± ¡°Wait a minute! What¡¯s the scenery behind Father Hamel? There¡¯s only one bed in my straw hut! Why does he have a grill? This is so unfair!¡± ¡°What is the Soul Cordata Grass that Father Hamel wants? Is there a seasoning bag in this world?¡± ¡°^ If you didn¡¯t tell me, I wouldn¡¯t have noticed. Could it be that Father Hamel has already upgraded his base to level two?!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chris saw that everyone in the chat group was jealous of him. He felt both happy and helpless. If these beef were to rot, they would be completely useless to him. Not long from now, Whitey would probably bring a lot of ferocious beast meat. Once there was too much stock, it would be troublesome. Thus, Chris could only choose to sell a large amount of 200kg of beef. After all, this beef was nothing to Chris! At this moment, a small figure entered the house. Chirp chirp chirp! Upon hearing this familiar voice, Chris hurriedly turned around and saw Whitey flying back. ¡°So fast?¡± Chris praised Whitey who nodded its head proudly. Like a child waiting to be praised, it flew ahead and led the way for Chris. Soon, Chris followed Whitey outside the house. He was shocked by the scene before him! On the ground were the corpses of several ferocious beasts! Not only the brown bear, even the swift cheetah could not escape from Whitey! Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Looking at these prey, Chris was extremely excited. Even the Wild Bull¡¯s Heart could increase his strength and speed slightly, then the hearts of these beasts would definitely be able to provide him with much more, right? Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey turned around and looked as though it wanted to be praised. This time, it slaughtered many of the surrounding beasts. Chris opened Whitey¡¯s character panel instinctively. Name: Whitey Race: Frost Dragon Growth: Whelp (450 / 1000) Loyalty: 100 Potential: Level 7 Strength: 400 (1 Strength= 10KG) Speed: 40 Soul: 670 Mana: 10 / 100 Skills: Ice Spike (Low Bronze 20 Mana), Ice Shield (Peak Bronze, 50 Mana), Ice Arrow Rain (Medium Gold, 70 Mana) Status: Can be dispatched. ¡­ Whitey had hunted ferocious beasts as quickly as possible. Just the growth EXP bar alone had reached 450 points, and only 10 points of mana remained. It had only been twenty minutes since Chris started roasting meat. In such a short period of time, it was able to kill so many ferocious beasts. This efficiency was really unparalleled! With regards to this, Chris nodded slightly and praised Whitey, ¡°Whitey, you did well. I¡¯ll roast meat for you later!¡± When Whitey heard these words, it flapped its wings and flew up happily. As for Chris, he came before the corpses of these ferocious beasts. Just the wild bull alone could increase his strength by a small amount. Just this bit of strength was enough to complete a total transformation. Currently, Chris had already regarded the hearts of the creatures of this world as divine medicine! Ordinary people would have to train for a very long time before they would be able to obtain a unique constitution. Now, Chris only needed to eat the food of this world and his physical strength would be greatly improved! No one would reject such food! At this moment, a series of notifications appeared before Chris. [Lion: Can be dissected!] [Cheetah: Can be dissected!] [Tiger: Can be dissected!] [¡­] Looking at the ferocious beasts on the ground, Chris smiled faintly before using his only skill. ¡°Begin dissection!¡± In the blink of an eye, pieces of meat, organs, fur, and bones were neatly arranged in front of Chris. [Congratulations, you have obtained the Fierce Tiger Fur x1. It can be made into clothes and can help you resist the cold to a certain extent!] [Congratulations, you have obtained a Tiger¡¯s Heart x1. It can allay hunger and increase your strength by a small amount. There is also a chance of increasing your reaction speed!] [Congratulations, you have obtained the Tiger Bone x1. It can be used to make some low dark iron weapons. It has some threatening effects on creatures below the level of ferocious beasts!] [Congratulations, you have obtained 530kg of Tiger Meat. It can satisfy your hunger and increase your strength by a meager amount. There is also a chance of increasing your speed by a meager amount!] [¡­] A series of notifications appeared before Chris. Chris was especially shocked when he saw the introduction of the heart. Not only could it improve his strength, but his reaction speed could also improve? Chris was looking forward to it. And what shocked him more was that although these beasts were dead and their internal organs had been dissected, Chris did not smell any stench! The corpse of the wild bull also did not have a strong stench. Chris only thought that he did not have a sensitive nose. However, these were ferocious beasts! Any human would be able to smell the stench of the corpses of these ferocious beasts, and thus, they would have no way to eat it! Moreover, the stench of the ferocious beasts was extremely troublesome to deal with if there were no suitable items. Currently, Chris could not smell the stench of the corpses! Not to mention the stench, there wasn¡¯t even any blood! The scene before him coincidentally reflected his thoughts. He had not expected that in this world, he did not have to worry about such trivial matters! In other words, as long as he had Whitey, he would not have to worry about not being able to survive in this world. Chris couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey¡¯s eyes were filled with hunger for food. This sound was similar to that of a child asking for food! Chris heard it and patted Whitey¡¯s head. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll let you have a taste of my barbecue skills!¡± Thus, under Whitey¡¯s cheerful sound, the human and dragon walked into the house. While Whitey was bringing in the pieces of meat that had been dissected, Chris finished roasting a few pieces of meat. ¡°Whitey, these are yours.¡± As Chris spoke, he pointed at the beef and meat that had been cooked. The meat of these ferocious beasts combined with beef was at least 50kg. It couldn¡¯t possibly finish all of them at once, right? Chris also began to eat the meat of these beasts. When Whitey smelled the aroma of the barbecue, it started drooling. It flapped its wings and flew towards the pile of barbecued meat to eat. At the same time, after eating the meat, Chris could feel that his strength had increased yet again! [Congratulations, you have eaten roasted cheetah meat. Speed+2, Strength+1!] Chris was stunned. Just by eating the meat of a ferocious beast, there was such an increase? Then, how much more increase would he gain from eating their hearts? With this in mind, Chris began to roast the hearts of these beasts¡­ A few seconds later, the aroma of the barbecue spread throughout the cabin. Chirp chirp chirp! Upon hearing the voice, Chris abruptly turned his head. It was only then that he realized that the nearly 100kg barbequed meat that he had roasted earlier had all entered Whitey¡¯s stomach! ¡°Oh, my God! You really can eat!¡± After complaining for a while, Chris roasted more meat and placed them in front of Whitey. Then, he took a bite of the freshly roasted lion heart. [Eating a lion¡¯s heart. Strength +2! Speed +1!] Upon seeing this, Chris¡¯s eyes widened. Eating the lion¡¯s heart could actually increase his Strength by two points and also increase his Speed by one point! The value of a beast¡¯s heart was evident! Rather than calling it food, it was more like a divine medicine! Hence, Chris placed the meat on Whitey¡¯s side while he ate the hearts of the beasts! [Eating a lion¡¯s heart. Strength +2, Speed +1, Reflexes +1!] [Eating a cheetah¡¯s heart. Strength +1, Speed +3!] [Eating a tiger¡¯s heart. Strength +1, Speed +1, Reflexes +2!] [¡­] Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After eating a large meal of roasted ferocious beast meat. Chris could feel that he was filled with energy. With his current strength, he felt like he could kill that wild bull with one punch! Furthermore, his reaction speed had also been greatly improved! Currently, Chris¡¯s mental state was extremely active like he was having an adrenaline rush! His five senses had also improved! He would be able to react immediately to any movement! ¡°The effects of food in this world are truly terrifying!¡± Chris looked at his hands and muttered to himself, ¡°I wonder what my current stats are.¡± Thus, Chris opened his character panel. Name: Chris Race: Human Base Level: LV2 Potential: Level 1 Strength: 35 (1 Strength= 10KG) Speed: 18 Soul: 11 Mana: 0/0 Magic: Unlearned Skill: Corpse Dissection Population: 2/10 Buildings: Base Lv2 ¡­.. Although his reaction speed was not displayed, Chris could feel that the hearts of these beasts had increased his reaction speed by at least half! Right now, his sight had become very clear and hearing was extremely sharp! From this, it could be seen just how much benefits the ferocious beasts¡¯ meat and hearts brought Chris! His strength had increased to 35 points now, which meant he possessed 350kg of strength! ¡°I have to say, this world really makes one anticipate. I wonder if I will become a hero like in the movies¡­¡± Chris chuckled. At this rate, he would probably become a superhero soon. By the side, Whitey was also burping loudly as it laid on the ground, clutching its stomach. It had actually consumed 350kg of meat for this meal! Looking at the remaining 450kg of ferocious beasts¡¯ meat, Chris fell into deep thought. This meat was good, but he was afraid that it would rot. If it rotted, wouldn¡¯t the losses outweigh the gains? Also, the recipe for the Witch Potion required Soul Cordata Grass as well. There was still no news of it until now. Did he have to search for it himself? Chris opened the chat room again, ready to see if he could gain anything¡­ Chris had just opened the chat room interface when he saw this scene and fell silent. Arthur: ¡°Hey! Which one of you has Soul Cordata Grass? Let me tell you, Soul Cordata Grass is something passed down from our kingdom. As long as you give it to me, I, King Arthur, will definitely let you live a good life!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°F*ck you! You¡¯re King Arthur, and I¡¯m Alexander the Great! Aren¡¯t you only thinking of exchanging it with that Father? Just speak frankly!¡± Shield Captain: ¡°I have to say, I have never heard of or seen the Soul Cordata Grass that Father Hamel mentioned. If I had seen it or had seasoning, I would definitely exchange them for beef with Father Hamel.¡± God of Thunder Thor: ¡°Speaking of which, why is this world so cold at night? Fortunately, the life form I summoned has a hammer weapon. Otherwise, I might not have been able to defeat that goat!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chris¡¯s expression did not change as he read the messages. ¡°These people are just boasting in the chat room. They don¡¯t have any information regarding the Soul Cordata Grass.¡± Just as Chris was about to close the chat room, a message made him stop. Tom: ¡°Father Hamel! I have three herbs here. According to my system description, this should be the Soul Cordata Grass that Father Hamel wants!¡± Jerry: ¡°I also have a herb here, but it isn¡¯t Soul Cordata Grass. However, the quality is high dark iron. I wonder if this can be exchanged for beef?¡± Seeing these two messages, Chris revealed a slightly interested expression. Especially the one called Jerry. He also had an herb, and the quality was actually high dark Iron! Chris had yet to see herbs with quality classification in this world. Now, Jerry had found one! Thus, Chris, who had been lurking in the chat room, suddenly appeared. ¡°Father Hamel is online! Is he here to save us?¡± ¡°Father Hamel! Please, give us some food! We will definitely follow your orders!¡± ¡°If I had a seasoning bag or Soul Cordata Grass, I would definitely exchange it with Father Hamel. After all, he has no obligation to save us. I don¡¯t have to explain the importance of resources in this world, right? However, I still hope that Father Hamel can give us some food!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The chat room of 2,000 people started boot-licking when they saw Chris come online. Currently, Chris¡¯s existence was like a priest or even a savior to these people! Otherwise, who in this world could kill a powerful creature like the wild bull on the first day? So, with everyone looking forward to it, Chris posted. Father Hamel: ¡°I saw that someone seemed to have found Soul Cordata Grass and a dark iron-grade herb? If you let me confirm it, I will consider it.¡± After saying that, Chris sent this message along with a photo of himself eating roasted meat of a ferocious beast. It was not a bad thing to let these people know that he was strong. At this moment, all the members in the chat group were shocked by this scene! ¡°Wow! Did you guys see that? I think I saw tiger skin just now! Are those the skin of a tiger and a cheetah?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just the tiger and cheetah, there¡¯s even the skin of a lion! From what I know, the strength of the ferocious beasts is above 50 points! Father Hamel, how did you kill such existences? Did God descend?¡± ¡°There are even bear paws! I didn¡¯t expect Father Hamel to be the strongest presence in our chat group! Didn¡¯t Alexander the Great say that Father Hamel picked up a corpse? Tell me, how did he pick up so many corpses?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chris didn¡¯t pay attention to these shocked people. Instead, he focused on the two names. At this moment, two notifications appeared. [Tom requests to set up a private chat with you!] [Jerry requests to set up a private chat with you!] Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chris created a private chat room with Tom first. Since the other party didn¡¯t buy beef directly from the trading platform, it meant that the other party definitely wanted something else from him. However, Chris was still willing to trade if Tom had enough Soul Cordata Grass. The moment the private chat was set up, a message came. Tom: ¡°Father Hamel! I have three Soul Cordata Grass here. I wonder if I can exchange them for something else.¡± Tom: ¡°After all, Father Hamel must know that for people like me who live in straw huts, it¡¯s cold at night. With the premise of beef, if I can also exchange for bones and fur of some ferocious beasts, that would be the best!¡± Tom finished his sentence and attached a picture. It was a picture of three Soul Cordata Grass. Chris frowned slightly when he saw this. The other party was quite smart to use the Soul Cordata Grass to negotiate with him. However, Chris didn¡¯t hate such people. If it were him, he would definitely do the same. Thus, Chris replied. Father Hamel: ¡°No problem. You and I are both living beings under the protection of my Lord. I will represent my Lord to make a fair deal with you.¡± As Chris spoke, he sent a photo of his tiger bone and tiger skin to the other party. When Tom saw this photo, he immediately felt much happier! The life form he summoned was a lazy cat. This little blue cat was worse than him! It even ate more than him! For a moment, he had even wanted to make this blue cat his dinner! Now that he had found the Soul Cordata Grass, the entire situation would change! ¡°God, Father Hamel must be the messenger you sent!¡± Tom sighed. Father Hamel: ¡°The items are already in the trading platform, Tom, they belong to you.¡± Tom opened the trading platform happily, and saw the two new additions. They were the hide and bones of a ferocious tiger. The trader was Father Hamel! Seeing this, Tom became excited! With the bones of the ferocious tiger as his weapon, he would no longer have to fear the goats and hungry wolves that came to his doorstep during the day! Moreover, beef could also allow him to live for a while! Tom: ¡°Thank you, Father Hamel! Thank you, Father Hamel!¡± Tom handed over the three Soul Cordata Grass to Chris. A few seconds later, Chris received a notification. [Congratulations on your successful transaction. This is the item you obtained from this transaction.] [Soul Cordata Grass x3] ¡°I have 3 Soul Cordata Grass now, and it seems like the Witch Potion can only be used three times?¡± But Chris couldn¡¯t care less. All in all, he still needed to see what kind of surprise Jerry would bring him! Thus, Chris entered the private chat room with Jerry. On the other side, Jerry was very nervous. Although the herb in his hand was of dark iron quality, who knew if it was comparable to the Soul Cordata Grass that Father Hamel mentioned? Would the herb in his hand attract Father Hamel¡¯s attention? Jerry had no idea. Suddenly, he saw the chat window flash. Father Hamel: ¡°Let me see what you want to exchange this time and will consider this transaction.¡± Upon seeing this, Jerry¡¯s initial frustration was instantly swept away. Who was Father Hamel? He was the person with the most food in the chat group! Now, the other party was actually making a deal with him! Jerry was naturally extremely excited! Jerry: ¡°Father Hamel! This is a dark iron-grade herb that I picked up. If possible, I want to exchange it for 20kg of beef, as well as a set of cold resistant bullhide and the bones of a ferocious beast!¡± With that, Jerry attached a picture. Name: Demon Fusion Grass Type: Demonic Grass Quality: High Dark Iron It was not that Jerry was ignorant that a Dark Iron Herb could be exchanged for so many things. Instead, he had evaluated it in the market. The value of the Demon Fusion Grass in his hands should exchange for at least 60kg of tiger meat and a tiger skin! At first, Jerry also wanted to ask for this, but when he thought about it, Father Hamel didn¡¯t need this herb at all, and it was demonic grass on top of that! Who knew what use this demonic grass had? If the other party did not take a fancy to it, or rather, it was useless, he might as well lower the price himself! On the other side, a hint of interest appeared on Chris¡¯ face upon seeing this Demon Fusion Grass. To Chris, having a high dark iron herb was indeed worth giving the items the other party was requesting. That was because he had obtained three Soul Cordata Grass which he had thought would at least be a dark iron quality item. But who knew that such a precious herb had no quality remark! As far as Chris knew, in this world, inferior weapons and herbs usually had no quality classification. Only weapons and herbs that were of a certain level had quality classification. In other words, the Demon Fusion Grass was at least three or four grades higher than the Soul Cordata Grass! Furthermore, his intuition told him that this Demon Fusion Grass would definitely be useful to him in the future! That was why this Demon Fusion Grass completely passed in his eyes! However, his beef had either been eaten by Whitey or had been exchanged for stone and wood. Right now, he only had the meat of ferocious beasts that had yet to be traded¡­ As for the bullhide? He had only killed three of them, and he had exchanged them for quite a bit of wood and stone. Father Hamel: ¡°I¡¯m very satisfied with your conditions. However, I only have the meat and skin of ferocious beasts here. Although the high dark iron demonic herb is useless to me right now, my Lord will definitely not reject your request and will definitely not give up on you!¡± Father Hamel: ¡°The items have already been put in the trading platform. Go and take a look. Use your Demon Fusion Grass as an exchange.¡± Seeing this, Jerry looked at the trading platform instinctively. When he saw the items for this transaction, he was even more shocked! Jerry exclaimed: ¡°Father, you actually used such things as an exchange!¡± Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Jerry looked at the items on the trading platform and was shocked! The items exchanged for Demon Fusion Grass: ¡°25kg cheetah meat, one ferocious tiger skin, and a set of lion bones!¡± Although these things could not match the value determined by the market, when Jerry saw these things, he felt much safer! This was the meat of a ferocious beast! There was also a set of lion bones, although they were only used to make weapons. However, the bones of a ferocious beast could be used for defense as well! ¡°Lord Father is really considerate of us. He must be an envoy sent by God!¡± At this moment, the chat group was stirred by a piece of news! Tom: ¡°Everyone, look! These are the items given to me by Father! I exchanged the Soul Cordata Grass for them! Do you really feel safe in your straw hut?¡± When Tom said that, he attached a photo. This photo naturally captured the beef, tiger hide, and tiger bones he had just exchanged for. When the people in the chat room saw this message, they exploded! ¡°These are the bones of a ferocious tiger! If I use them for self-defense, I won¡¯t have to be afraid of those little lambs!¡± ¡°If I have a tiger bone, I¡¯ll go find those little lambs that were blocking my door and take off their skin to warm myself up!¡± ¡°Tom actually has a whole tiger hide. If only I had Soul Cordata Grass. Unfortunately, I don¡¯t even know what it looks like!¡± ¡°There¡¯s so much beef. I¡¯m afraid Tom won¡¯t have to cut trees for some time, right? Tom, let¡¯s discuss something. Why don¡¯t you exchange your beef with me?¡± At this moment, Tom displayed all the items that he had exchanged with Chris. Although all the chat rooms were praising Tom, they were more surprised about the man named Father Hamel! Who exactly was he! He could actually put the beast skin for trade! Being able to exchange it meant that this thing was nothing to Father Hamel! Hence, instead of saying that everyone was envious of Tom, they were more envious of Father Hamel standing behind Tom! In the next second, an even more shocking piece of news appeared. Jerry: ¡°Tom, I just exchanged some things with the Father. They should be similar to yours!¡± Tom frowned at the news. Earlier, he had read in the post that Jerry seemed to have a high dark iron herb in his hand. Unexpectedly, it was really accepted by the Father! Jerry attached a photo of the items he exchanged with Chris to the chat group. There was a cheetah skin and 25kg of cheetah meat! When everyone saw the lion bone, they were even more dumbfounded! Thor, the God of Thunder: ¡°No way! Father Hamel can even kill such a monster! If he can casually make such deals, he must have killed many such beasts!¡± Arthur: ¡°It¡¯s a pity. If I had seen the herbs, I would have exchanged them with the Father. I¡¯ll have to wait until tomorrow to cut the trees for beef!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°How is this possible! No matter how powerful the Father is, it¡¯s impossible for him to kill such a ferocious beast! That kind of beast has at least 550kg of strength! How could the Father kill it!¡± Black Widow: ¡°I am indeed envious of Father Hamel. To think that he could trade at will. His strength must be the best among us. Father, can you tell me your location? I will definitely be able to satisfy all your requests!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chris naturally saw the messages in the chat room, but he ignored those who wanted to gain something without risking anything. The most important thing now was to refine the Witch Potion. Chris opened the Witch Potion Crafting Book and began to concoct. [Witch Potion] [Refining Requirement: Ferocious Beast Meat 10kg (currently possess 170kg) Soul Grass x1 (currently available for 3 portions)] [The requirements for the Witch Potion are met. Do you want to refine it?] [Yes] [No] Chris chose yes without hesitation and placed the Soulcore Grass and 10kg meat on the table. In the next second, a red light illuminated the entire house. A few seconds later, he looked at the table in front of him. The meat and soulgrass had disappeared, replaced by a transparent glass bottle of red potion. The potion was still boiling like boiling water! No, more accurately, it was like boiling lava! Just as Chris was about to wait for the potion to cool down before drinking it, a prompt appeared before him. [Host, please drink it quickly! After the Witch Potion is made, the medicinal effect will enter the countdown. With every minute that passes, the medicinal effect will decrease! After ten minutes, the Witch Potion will lose all its effects!] Chris was stunned! Good lord, this is like lava. You want me to drink it right now? This shouldn¡¯t be poison, right? At the same time, Whitey sniffed and flapped its wings as it flew over before nodding at Chris. ¡°Whitey, is this safe to drink?¡± Chris pointed at the potion that was still boiling on the table in disbelief. Whitey nodded its head vigorously in agreement. After making sure of it, Chris picked up the Witch Potion. Although Whitey could not speak right now, it would never lie to him or make such a silly joke. ¡°I will bet on it!¡± While thinking this, Chris downed the potion in one gulp, and a powerful energy began to spread throughout his body. This powerful energy made Chris feel powerless. Dizziness flooded his mind. Chris sat down on the stool and fell asleep on the table. Whitey shook its head helplessly. Then, it flapped its wings and carried Chris onto the bed. Night fell and a cold wind blew. Countless wails came from outside the house! There were howls of wolves and roars of ferocious beasts! The silence of the night was mercilessly sliced apart by the roars of these beasts! Daytime was the safest place for humans as the ferocious beasts would not leave their territory. At night, the beasts would enter the most violent mode! All humans would become their prey! Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios While Chris was unconscious, the chat room exploded! ¡°What is this! Why are there wild beasts wandering outside at night!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they not leave their territory during the day? Also, why did the little lamb in the morning become so fierce now? It found my straw hut and is crazily ramming my door! Can someone save me?!¡± ¡°Besides the little lamb, there¡¯s also the wolf! It¡¯s fine if the little lamb came to find me, but why didn¡¯t the wolf eat the lamb and come to find me instead! Could it be that the lamb isn¡¯t good enough!?¡± ¡°Say no more! There¡¯s a wild bull outside charging at my door! Can someone come and save¡­¡± ¡°Wow! Did the wild bull break in through the above poster¡¯s hut!? This night is a little too scary! Please protect us, Father Hamel! Please protect us, God! Let me get through this dangerous night!¡± ¡°¡­¡± When night fell, people thought that it was time to rest. The wild beasts in the day had made them feel powerless. Nighttime was supposed to be a time for humans to rest, but who knew that these beasts would become even more aggressive! Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night! Meanwhile, in the chat room, some people were showing off their spoils of war. Alexander the Great: ¡°Ahahaha! Isn¡¯t it just a little lamb! Under the heavy hammer of my barbarian, they will become delicacies!¡± Arthur: ¡°Fortunately, my life form came with a sword. Though he doesn¡¯t know how to use a sword, I know how to use it! With this sword, the wild beasts won¡¯t be able to harm me!¡± Thor, the God of Thunder: ¡°I¡¯m fine here. It¡¯s just a bunch of rats. As long as they dare to come over, I can send them to meet God with a hammer!¡± Tom: ¡°Wah! I¡¯ll send you guys a video. These wild beasts don¡¯t even dare to attack me after seeing my tiger bone! I¡¯ll leave this tiger bone here. They won¡¯t dare to approach me!¡± At this moment, Tom uploaded a video that shocked everyone in the chat room! Tom placed the tiger bone at the door. The moment the pack of wolves and lambs saw it, they froze on the spot! The blue cat curled up into a ball when it saw the tiger bone, not daring to move! In the eyes of the wolves and lambs, although they had already entered a berserk mode, they still had the most basic survival instincts! When they saw the tiger bone, their animal instincts told them that the other party was a human who could kill the ferocious tiger. He was not an existence they could provoke! ¡°Wow! This must be a weapon that has been blessed by the Father! Lord Tom! Can you give me the weapon that Father Hamel has blessed? I¡¯m willing to exchange for it with the beef that I just exchanged with Father!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Lord Tom! Father will definitely not wish to see us die tragically at night! This weapon must have been a result of Father¡¯s blessings!¡± ¡°Lord Tom! Please save us! Father Hamel and Lord God! Please protect us!¡± Tom was overjoyed to see this. Originally, he had only wanted to use this ferocious tiger bone as a weapon. Who knew that it actually had such an effect! Jerry also started showing off. Jerry: ¡°Tom, my life here is not bad either. It¡¯s all thanks to Father Hamel¡¯s weapon! I must follow Father Hamel in the future!¡± At this moment, in the chat room, countless people were envious of Jerry and Tom. Including those who were fighting the beasts. Even though they had the ability to protect themselves, after seeing Jerry and Tom¡¯s safe scene, they couldn¡¯t help but feel envious! After all, who wouldn¡¯t like a peaceful night without having to do anything? In the chat room, except for Tom and Jerry, everyone was fighting hard. Tom and Jerry looked at the motionless beasts in front of them and wanted to sleep. After all, these beasts did not dare to enter! At this moment, a message appeared in the chat room. It immediately perked them up! ¡°Wah! Why is there an existence that¡¯s close to a ferocious beast amongst the wolves? Ah!¡± ¡°No¡­ Why do the bulls have a leader? Oh no! My door is broken!¡± ¡°There¡¯s actually a creature that¡¯s close to the rank of a ferocious beast! This is our doomsday, isn¡¯t it? Apart from Father, how many of us can survive tonight?¡± This news made Tom and Jerry take it seriously. At this moment, they turned around and saw a wolf that was three times the size of an ordinary wolf appear at the entrance! So Tom Cat and Jerry both subconsciously uploaded this photo to the chat group¡­ Tom: ¡°Are you talking about this?¡± Jerry: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to appear on your side too!¡± Jerry and Tom were shocked when they saw this! Could a human defeat such a creature? ¡°Haha! Tom and Jerry, who asked you not to give up the magical equipment! Now, you have received your retribution!¡± ¡°I only have a bunch of rats here, not even a lamb! Eh! Wait, why is there a rat bigger than me?!¡± ¡°There will definitely be many deaths tonight! Hey¡­ can someone save us?¡± ¡°Hey! What the hell is this night?! Not only rats, but also centipedes! These centipedes are longer than my legs! I feel like they don¡¯t want me to live at all!¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Father! Father will definitely be able to save us! But where is he now?! He can¡¯t be sleeping, right?¡± At the same time, Tom and Jerry were very nervous. When they looked at the alpha wolf, they could feel that it wanted to tear them apart! As humans, even with weapons, they could not fight against such a powerful existence! The two of them also started the live-stream. At least give the world a final impression¡­ Hence, the next scene was recorded. When the alpha wolves saw the ferocious beast bones, they hesitated for a moment before escaping with the wolves! The people who were watching the stream widened their eyes in shock when they saw this! Tom and Jerry had a question in their minds. Did the Father really bless the bones of these ferocious beasts? Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At this moment, in the chat room, all the members were shocked by this scene! ¡°What? The bones of the ferocious beasts actually have such an effect! What¡¯s going on? Why doesn¡¯t that alpha wolf that¡¯s close to the rank of a ferocious beast have any thoughts about Tom and Jerry?¡± ¡°Could Father Hamel really be a messenger sent by God? From what I know, these two bones were obtained from Father Hamel!¡± ¡°Father Hamel, please bless me and let me live through this night! In the future, I will definitely follow your lead! Lord Jehovah! Please make the Father give me a chance to be reborn!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In the chat room, countless people were extremely envious when they saw this scene. Moreover, Tom and Jerry too were dumbfounded. ¡°As expected of the Father. Looks like I¡¯ve managed to cling onto someone powerful!¡± Seeing this, Tom wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The powerful creatures mentioned in the group really existed, and they even ran to their house! Tom and the little blue cat that he had summoned were probably not even enough for one snack for these wolves! Thankfully, Tom exchanged items with Chris. Otherwise, he might have really met God tonight. On the other side. ¡°Damn, scared me to death¡­¡± Jerry was also slightly stunned, his heart beating fiercely, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He looked at the hamster before looking at the lion bone at the door. Jerry laughed and rejoiced. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the Father. Otherwise, you and I would have become the food of these ferocious beasts tonight!¡± Jerry looked at his hamster and felt helpless. Other people were at least able to summon a life form with some fighting strength. But he had summoned a hamster. Besides being somewhat cute, its only other use might be as an emergency food. Tom and Jerry were completely shocked by the earlier experience. If not for that Father, they wouldn¡¯t even be able to survive tonight! Thus, they made up their minds. As long as Father Hamel needed something, they would do their best to find it! After all, in this world, survival was the most important thing! In another area. Chris was snoring and sleeping soundly. He naturally knew nothing about what happened in the chat room. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Moo! Moo!¡± ¡°Baaah!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The sounds of countless animals could be heard from outside, but these ferocious beasts were all isolated outside by Chris¡¯ newly installed defense walls. Thus, the beasts began to use their bodies to ram into the walls. Every collision seemed to shake the earth. However, the defense walls showed no signs of being shaken! At the same time. After putting Chris on the bed, Whitey naturally heard the roars of wild beasts outside. Chirp! Anger appeared on Whitey¡¯s face. Even though Whitey was only a whelp right now, it was still a descendant of the frost dragon In front of the frost dragon, let alone mere wild beasts, even those ferocious beasts would have to bow down! And now, these wild beasts actually dared to shout at its doorstep? This infuriated Whitey. As a frost dragon, it was naturally an incomparably noble existence. How could it let these blind beasts go scot-free? Thus, Whitey flapped its wings and flew out¡­ ¡­ Dozens of jackals, lambs, bulls, and other wild animals were slamming into the wall. Their eyes were filled with crimson light. The lamb was clearly such a cute creature, but when its eyes lit up with this blood-red light, it appeared especially terrifying! Baah baah baah The lambs and bulls took a few steps back. Blood was already starting to seep out of their heads!. However, the ten or so lambs had no intention of retreating! It was the same for the tens of wild bulls. They were prepared to use their horns to break the sturdy wall! As for the wolves, they watched from the side, waiting for the lambs and wild bulls to break through the defense walls, before they entered to enjoy the delicious meal inside! The lambs and the wild bulls seemed to have it in for this wall! They had gone berserk after not being able to break the wall. Just as they were about to ram with all their strength into the wall¡­ A gigantic ice pillar descended from the sky and smashed straight at the charging wild bulls and lambs! In an instant, the flock of lambs and wild bulls that were about to charge over stopped! Furthermore, some of the wolves were stunned for a moment. For some reason, an indescribable fear arose in their hearts! It was the suppression of the higher lifeforms against the lower lifeforms! Or rather, it was more like a bloodline suppression! Dozens of wild bulls and lambs that wanted to break through the wall fell under the ice pillar! Only some lambs and wild bulls that were preparing to break through the wall, as well as wolves who were still hiding in the darkness remained! At that moment, the wild beasts that had entered the berserk mode were shaken to their core! Fear rose in their hearts! Among them, the ram king, the wild bull king, and the alpha wolf raised their heads toward the sky. They could not understand what kind of creature this was! It actually gave such a strong sense of oppression! Thus, these beasts subconsciously raised their heads and saw a dragon whelp flapping its wings. It was Whitey! When the wild bulls and lambs saw Whitey¡¯s figure, they froze on the spot and did not move. They seemed to have seen a supreme existence. They wanted to run, but their bodies did not obey! As for the wolves, upon seeing this scene, they had already fled into the darkness. Even though they had entered berserk mode, the wolves knew that the creature floating in the sky was not someone they could provoke! However, how could these wolves escape in front of the frost dragon? The night sky suddenly changed. Hundreds of ice arrows descended from the sky and rained down into the darkness. Chirp chirp chirp! Aawooo! Aawooo! Aawooo! ¡°¡­¡± Countless screams were heard in the darkness. Even if they entered berserk mode, they could not withstand the frost dragon¡¯s magic! As for the remaining few motionless lambs and wild bulls, they were naturally not spared. Mere lambs and wild bulls were not even worthy to die under Whitey¡¯s magic! There was only one outcome for creatures that offended dragons! Death! A massacre began outside Chris¡¯ base. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The next day, noon. Chris slowly opened his eyes. [Congratulations, you have successfully absorbed the Witch Potion! You have received 15 points of Strength and 10 Mana!] Chris nodded slightly. 15 points of strength was quite significant compared to the couple of points he gained from eating hearts. But this did not really interest him. Moreover, after absorbing the Witch Potion once, he would still need to be unconscious for such a long time. However, these 10 points of mana aroused Chris¡¯s interest. Until now, he had never seen anything that could increase mana! Thus, Chris opened his character panel. Name: Chris Race: Human Base Level: LV2 Potential: Level 1 Strength: 50 (1 Strength = 10KG) Speed: 18 Soul: 11 Mana: 10/10 Magic: Unlearned Skill: Corpse Dissection Population: 2/10 Buildings: Base Lv2 ¡­.. Just as Chris was wondering what effect the mana had¡­ [Congratulations! You have killed 11 lambs. Do you wish to proceed with dissection?] [Congratulations! You have killed 10 wild bulls. Do you wish to proceed with dissection?] [Congratulations! You have killed 2 ram kings. Do you wish to proceed with dissection?] [Congratulations! You have killed 1 alpha wolf. Do you wish to proceed with dissection?] [Congratulations! You have killed 1 wild bull king. Do you wish to proceed with dissection?] [¡­] A series of information boxes appeared in front of Chris. He was at a loss. He had only taken a nap. Why were there so many corpses? Fortunately, these corpses would not turn into rotten flesh before they were dissected. Although he already had a lot of ferocious beast meat on his side, he had the ¡®glutton dragon¡¯, Whitey, and could also exchange them in the trading platform. That was why these meats would be extremely easy to deal with. While Chris was wondering where the corpses came from, the chat group exploded! Alexander the Great: ¡°It was quite alright! There were some animals that came to my house yesterday. Under the attacks of my barbarian, these lambs and wild bulls turned into delicacies!¡± Arthur: ¡°What Alexander the Great? You have to rely on the barbarian to survive last night¡¯s madness? I only needed a sword to protect myself! However, the scene with Tom and Jerry yesterday shocked me!¡± Thor, the God of Thunder: ¡°Yesterday, I used the hammer with great effort, and my hands were almost sore! I slept for less than 30 minutes! Let¡¯s not talk about it, I¡¯ll sleep first! @Father Hamel if you have the bones of the ferocious beasts that were given to Jerry and Tom yesterday, please share one with me!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Father! Jerry and Tom¡¯s ferocious beast bones from yesterday were really too awesome! When will you trade them again? Even if I die suddenly today, I must use wood and stone to exchange for a ferocious beast bone!¡± ¡°If I can obtain the bones of a ferocious beast blessed by the Father, I won¡¯t have to worry about so many troubles in this world!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In the chat room, countless people started to praise him. Through these words, Chris surmised that every night would be Berserk Night. Beasts would charge out of their territories and attack humans. Chris subconsciously started checking the number of people in the chat group. Of the original two thousand people, there were now only about 1500 people left. Three to four hundred people had died overnight! ¡°This world is really cruel!¡± Chris could not help but sigh. Thankfully, he had summoned Whitey in this world. If it were any other life form, it would probably be very difficult to pass through that Berserk Night. Tom said, ¡°Father Hammer is online! Yesterday, it was all thanks to the bones of the ferocious beast that Father gave me! If it weren¡¯t for you, I would probably be seeing Lord Jehovah today!¡± Jerry: ¡°I had a good night¡¯s sleep yesterday. Thank you, Father Hamel, for your blessings! If you have an order, I¡¯ll definitely follow it!¡± Murlin: ¡°Tom, Jerry, you should talk to the Father too. After all, if we can get more bones of those ferocious beasts, there will be fewer deaths!¡± Murlin¡¯s words were met with approval from the other chat room members. They had seen the live broadcast yesterday very clearly! Just two bones were enough to keep the wild beasts outside the door. If this wasn¡¯t a divine weapon that had been blessed, what else could it be? Seeing the countless people in the chat room who wanted to purchase the bones of the ferocious beasts, Chris revealed a helpless expression. Naturally, he knew that not only could the bones be used to create weapons, they also had a deterrent effect on low level creatures. However, it was only useful for creatures below the rank of ferocious beasts! Moreover, in front of Whitey, the ferocious beasts were just a bunch of ordinary birds and beasts. They were not even fit to carry Whitey¡¯s shoes! Naturally, Chris would not value such weak items. But how could he have known that there would be a thing like the Berserk Night of yesterday! However, this was also a way to show his strength to the chat group! And there were Tom and Jerry, two people who did free marketing for him. Hence, in the future, Chris would be able to increase the price of the ferocious beast bones! Now, the most important question was how to sell all the meat and bones! The beasts that were hunted by Whitey yesterday caught Chris¡¯ attention. What could these things dissect into? So Chris began to dissect them¡­ [Congratulations, you have obtained 2500kg of mutton, 11 sheepskin, and sheep bones!] [Congratulations, you have obtained 2300kg of beef, 10 bullhide, and wild bull bones!] [Congratulations, you have obtained 1450kg of ram meat, 2 ram skin, and ram bones!] [Congratulations, you have obtained 2150kg of wolf meat, 4 wolf skin, and wolf bones!] [¡­] After dissecting all the beasts, Chris posted. Father Hamel: ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s like this. I don¡¯t have any more of the ferocious beast bones here, but I do have quite a bit of wild beast meat that attacked my base camp yesterday. If you need it, you can buy them at the trading platform!¡± Father Hamel: ¡°Also, I have a few sets of quasi-ferocious beast level Wild Bull King bones here. If you wish to purchase them, please purchase them from the trading platform with wood and stone.¡± Father Hamel: ¡°First come, first serve. Everyone who has resources, you can start buying first!¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing Chris¡¯s words, the members in the chat room all looked at the trading platform. When they heard Chris say that he had no more ferocious beast bones, they felt a trace of regret. But who knew that they would find countless items put up in the trading platform! The meat of ram king, the meat of wolves, and the meat of wild bull king! They were shocked! There was a huge amount of mutton and beef. Amongst them, there were also several portions of wolf meat! Not only that, the two alpha wolves that attacked Tom and Jerry yesterday, their parts and bones also appeared on the platform! ¡°What is this! This seems to be the ram king that rammed open my hut¡¯s door yesterday! And there¡¯s actually 1,000kg of ram king meat! Could it be that the monsters that attacked Father¡¯s base yesterday are more than the monsters we saw in our base!¡± ¡°It must be! Father Hamel must have dealt with more monsters than us yesterday! It turns out that Father Hamel was the one who bore all the pain that we could not bear! Long live Father Hamel! I will definitely use all the wood to purchase these!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that even creatures like the alpha wolves and the bull kings couldn¡¯t threaten Father Hamel. I think that Father Hamel must be the savior sent by the heavens and Lord Jehovah!¡± ¡°Thankfully, I prayed to the heavens yesterday, hoping to obtain Father¡¯s blessings. Indeed, Father Hamel saved me yesterday! In the future, as long as I have the materials, I will definitely use them to purchase Father¡¯s items!¡± ¡°As expected of Father, he was able to fend off so many monsters by himself! I remember there was someone called Alexander the Great yesterday. He said that Father had picked up the corpses. Tell me, who is able to pick up the corpse of an alpha wolf? @Alexander the Great.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, brothers, can any of you lend me some wood and stone? As long as I succeed in buying these quasi-ferocious beast level bones today, I will definitely pay you with interest!¡± ¡°@Alexander the Great @Arthur @Thor, the God of Thunder all three of you learn from Father!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Countless people began purchasing Chris¡¯ loot from yesterday. Among them, there were even some who, in order to purchase quasi-ferocious beast level bones, went around borrowing wood and stone at high interest¡­ After all, in this world, survival was the most important thing! Moreover, in their opinion, the reason they were able to survive yesterday was all because Father Hamel had helped them attract the hatred of these beasts. Hence, Chris¡¯s status in the chat group became rather high! But how could they have imagined that Chris had been sleeping through the whole night¡­ Chris himself learned what happened last night from the conversations. As for upgrading the base, Chris was not in a hurry. After all, he had already hung up the items. He believed that soon, with the purchasing power of 1,500 people, these items would all be sold out. Upgrading the base only required 4,000 wood and 4,000 stone. This number was astronomical to others, but it was a piece of cake to Chris. Thus, Chris looked at the chat group again. At this moment, the chat group was also filled with discussions. There was an uproar after seeing the items that the Father was trading. Because of Tom and Jerry¡¯s ¡®live stream advertising¡¯, Chris had set a high price for these quasi-ferocious beast bones. Each bone required 400 wood and 300 stones to be exchanged. In fact, sheepskin, which was used to keep warm, was sold for an astronomical price of 150 wood or stone! Arthur: ¡°The Father is indeed a Father. He must have his own way of dealing with things. It seems like we have to rely on the Father in the future. Anyway, it doesn¡¯t seem like there¡¯s anything bad about hanging out with a Father! @Tom @Jerry.¡± Tom: ¡°You don¡¯t know, but when I saw the alpha wolf that was twice the size of my body yesterday, I panicked. Fortunately, the tiger bone Father Hamel gave me yesterday scared off the alpha wolf. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t be in the chat group now!¡± Murlin: ¡°Tom, even though I know Father Hamel is amazing, you shouldn¡¯t flatter him like that, right? Are you really sure the next time the Father gives you something, it¡¯ll still be useful?¡± Jerry: ¡°Not to mention flattering the Father, From now on, I, Jerry, will be a pawn of the Father! Whoever says that the Father is bad, they will be my enemy! You also saw the live stream last night. If we didn¡¯t have help from the Father, Tom and I would have gone to see Lord Jehovah!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°All of you can only rely on Father Hamel. Unlike me, I¡¯m independent. Look, I¡¯ve summoned two barbarians. I believe that I¡¯ll be able to replace the position of the Father soon. All of you will become my people!¡± Jerry: ¡°You? Alexander the Great? You want to replace the position of the Father? You¡¯re only fit to smell Father Hamel¡¯s fart!¡± Tom: ¡°+1! ¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°This speech has been blocked¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± After reading the chat group, Chris remembered that he could summon once every day. If nothing went wrong, Chris would be able to summon a decent follower this time as well. However, he would wait until his base was upgraded before he summoned. From what he knew, it seemed that the higher the level of the base, the more powerful the followers summoned would be. Furthermore, the number of followers summoned would also increase every day! That was why upgrading first was far better than directly summoning! A few seconds later, a series of prompts appeared before Chris. [Congratulations, you have successfully traded mutton. You have received 7,500 wood and 5,300 stones!] [Congratulations, you have successfully traded sheepskin. You have received 1,450 wood and 3,150 stones!] [Congratulations, you have successfully traded alpha wolf bone. You have received 400 wood and 300 stones!] [Congratulations, you have successfully traded beef. You have received 6,750 wood and 4,780 stones!] [¡­] As more and more items were sold, a notification box appeared before Chris. [Wood and stone have reached the requirements. Do you choose to upgrade your base?] [Yes] [No] Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chris wanted to click yes, but there was simply too much wood and stone! These wood and stone were stuck in the trading platform, waiting for Chris to extract them! Therefore, Chris was unable to use the wood and stone to upgrade the base immediately! Suddenly, a neutral mechanical voice appeared in Chris¡¯s mind. ¡°Warning! Please upgrade the wood warehouse and the stone warehouse! Otherwise, with the host¡¯s current storage limit, if all the wood and stone are taken out, the host¡¯s base might be damaged!¡± Hearing this voice, Chris immediately dismissed the idea of accepting it. ¡°Good lord, if I had accepted, wouldn¡¯t I have to rebuild the base?¡± Chris heaved a sigh of relief. Currently, he only had a level 1 stone warehouse and wood warehouse. He could only store 1,000 wood and stone. He opened the interface of the stone and wood warehouse. [Upgrading the wood warehouse to Level 2 requires 1,000 wood. Level 2 wood warehouses can store 10,000 wood! Upgrade?] [Yes] [No] Chris chose yes without hesitation. Then, Chris walked out of the room. He wanted to see what the wood warehouse would become. When he arrived outside the house, Chris kept his eyes on the wood warehouse. A few seconds later. The wood warehouse, which was originally the same size as the stone warehouse, began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye! In the blink of an eye, the wood warehouse in front of Chris had expanded to several times its original size! ¡°Wow, this is a level 2 wood warehouse?¡± When Chris saw this, he could not help but sigh. Whitey, who was hunting outside, suddenly saw such a change in the wood warehouse. It thought that something dangerous had happened at home and hurriedly flew back from afar! Chirp chirp chirp! Under Whitey¡¯s gaze, the stone warehouse next to the wood warehouse also started to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye! Whitey was shocked! It even stopped where it was! When Whitey returned to the base, it realized that the changes had happened to the stone and wood warehouse that Chris had built previously! Because of the upgrade, Chris finally had a place to release the wood and stone he had stored in the trading platform. The remaining thousands of wood and stone were temporarily placed in the market by Chris. ¡°This time, I can finally upgrade my base to level 3!¡± Chris laughed as a panel appeared in front of him. ¡°The stone and wood requirements have been met. Do you choose to upgrade your base?¡± [Yes] [No] Chris did not hesitate and directly chose yes! In the chat group. Alexander the Great: ¡°@Jerry @Tom, the two of you can only rely on Father Hamel¡¯s protection. Without Father Hamel, how are the two of you going to live? Why don¡¯t you consider joining me from now on!¡± Tom: ¡°? I remember that none of the quasi-ferocious beasts attacked Alexander the Great¡¯s base yesterday, right? You want me to switch sides from the Father to you? Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Jerry: ¡°That¡¯s right! From the first day, I could not stand this delusional kid. Your words are enlightening, but¡ªno offence¡ªthanks but no thanks!¡± Arthur: ¡°Actually, I¡¯m willing to believe Father Hamel. After all, the items in the trading platform don¡¯t lie. Can you say that these items were picked up by the Father? Therefore, the Father will definitely lead us to victory!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°Hahahaha! I won¡¯t hide it from you. Now, I have not only summoned two barbarians, but I have also raised my base to level 2! Soon, I will be able to catch up to the Father! Just watch carefully. When the time comes, it will be my rule!¡± With that, Alexander the Great added a picture. This photo was of him eating roasted lamb leg! Countless people were shocked. Alexander the Great¡¯s base had been upgraded to level 2! They knew that if their base was upgraded to level 2, it was very likely that they would reach Father Hamel¡¯s level. However, they did not expect that other than Father Hamel, there was another person who had raised his base to level 2! That person was Alexander the Great! ¡°Alexander the Great! Please provide for me! I¡¯ll follow you from now on! I¡¯ll definitely hold on to you!¡± ¡°Father Hamel!? He¡¯s just a charlatan! Only our Alexander the Great is the strongest! From now on, I¡¯m going to follow the footsteps of Alexander the Great!¡± ¡°This detestable Father. He has already cheated me of nearly 500 wood and 400 stones. But I have to say that the beef is indeed delicious!¡± ¡°If Father Hamel can lower the price of meat and contribute more ferocious beast bones, I will definitely choose Father Hamel¡¯s side! However, choosing to follow Alexander the Great is not a bad choice as well!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Seeing this, Tom and Jerry felt helpless. It should be known that if they wanted to upgrade their base to level 2, it would probably take them until night. Who would have thought that Alexander the Great had already upgraded his base to level 2! And most of these people who had agreed with him, and had previously been praising Father Hamel, were now turning hostile faster than flipping a book! Alexander the Great: ¡°@Tom @Jerry how about it! Why don¡¯t you guys follow me instead of following the Father? I promise that as long as you two don¡¯t stand on the Father¡¯s side, I will ensure that your lives are not in danger!¡± Tom and Jerry saw this and felt contempt. Why didn¡¯t those quasi-ferocious beasts attack Alexander the Great¡¯s base during Berserk Night yesterday? Even ten barbarians would not be a match for an alpha wolf of that size. At most, they would be a sumptuous meal for the wolves! And now, this person was actually jumping around before them like a clown. However, their base was still only level 1. It wasn¡¯t appropriate for them to directly criticize Alexander the Great. However, at the next moment, a neutral mechanical voice shocked everyone! ¡°Congratulations, Father Hamel for upgrading the base to level 3!¡± ¡°As Father Hamel is the first participant in this world to upgrade to level 3 base, he enjoys a World Gift Bag!¡± Everyone in the chat group was dumbfounded! Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios This was a worldwide notification! Needless to say, the appearance of this voice meant one thing. Father Hamel had already upgraded to level 3 base! Alexander the Great: ¡°Impossible! I just reached level 2 base. From the system notice, if I want to upgrade my base camp to level 3, I need at least 4000 wood and 4000 stones, and I need to get level 2 stone warehouse and wood warehouse!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°Moreover, the level 2 stone warehouse and wood warehouse cost 1,000 corresponding materials each! If you want to get to level 3 base, you need at least 6,000 wood and 6,000 stone! How can Father Hamel achieve this!¡± Hearing Alexander the Great¡¯s words, the others were even more shocked. How many resources did Father Hamel have? He could actually use 6000 wood and 6000 stones! However, they did not realize that the Father they were talking about was the one who had put up most of the meat and other beast parts in the trading platform! He had exchanged for all the required resources with these. At this moment, there was a commotion in the chat room! Arthur: ¡°What?! Father Hamel has already upgraded to Level 3 base!¡± Murlin: ¡°How is that possible! I¡¯m only at Level 1 base. Just the wood and stone required to upgrade the Level 1 base camp is not something that can be accumulated in a short period of time! Speaking of which, how many people contributed wood and stone to Father Hamel?¡± Tom: ¡°Hahaha! @Alexander the Great your level 2 base is nothing in front of Father Hamel! Let me use Jerry¡¯s words, you¡¯re only fit to smell the Father¡¯s fart!¡± Jerry: ¡°+1, where did those people who wanted to follow Alexander the Great go? Now, let me announce something. Those who want to follow Father Hamel, come and register with me. Father Hamel will forgive your ignorance! ¡± Originally, those who wanted to follow Alexander the Great saw that he had upgraded his base to level 2, they felt a little fortunate in their hearts. After all, Father Hamel had increased the price of the items by a huge amount! However, they could not reject this price because there were no other options. As a result, when Alexander the Great appeared, most of the people were just following the trend and standing with him. And now, reality proved that Tom and Jerry had made the right choice! While Alexander the Great was arguing with Tom and the others. Suddenly, a message appeared in the chat room. ¡°Alexander the Great has gone offline!¡± The moment the message appeared, the chat room was filled with a joyful mood! ¡­ [Congratulations, you are the first participant to unlock the level 3 base. Your reward is a peak dark iron weapon!] Chris¡¯ brows raised when he saw the notification. It was actually a peak dark iron weapon! ¡°Heavens, a peak dark iron weapon must be much stronger than the bones of ferocious beasts, right?¡± Chris had once tried using the bones of the ferocious beasts as a weapon, but who knew that it could not even pierce the skin of a wild bull. At most, it could only make the other party fear him. If it was a properly forged weapon, it should be able to pierce through the skin of these monsters, right? Furthermore, it was a peak dark iron weapon! Just having a weapon with no quality remark was already very rare. Hence, Chris began to look forward to the power and use of the dark iron weapon! And so, not long after, a weapon appeared in Chris¡¯s mailbox. Chris hurriedly opened his mailbox and checked it. [Weapon: Obsidian Sword] [Quality: Peak Dark Iron] [Attack Power: 245] [Special Feature: Ignores 35% Of Defense of All Creatures Below Silver Rank! (Increases with the increase in level!)] Chris¡¯s eyes widened when he saw the last column. It could actually ignore 35% of the defense of all creatures below the Silver rank! 35%! Chris had played online games before, so he naturally knew how significant it was to ignore 35% defense! Normal monsters all had high health and defense, which was why many people were needed to kill them. However, most of the monsters had high defense. If their HP was listed in terms of effective damage dealt to them, they probably couldn¡¯t last a few hits. Like the wild bull Chris had encountered before. If 35% of the defense could be ignored, even the ferocious beast bone could probably pierce through it with just one attack! In short, if Chris were to use this sword, he could kill all the monsters below Silver rank in two to three strikes! ¡°This weapon is too powerful!¡± Holding the Obsidian Sword in his hand, Chris chuckled before looking at Whitey. Chirp chirp chirp! The silly-looking Whitey flew over as well. When it saw the attributes of the sword, its eyes widened and it quickly hid in the house. That was because this Obsidian Sword could even kill Whitey who was still a whelp! ¡°This weapon is truly terrifying.¡± Furthermore, the special feature remarked it as a weapon that could grow! It wasn¡¯t just terrifying, it was simply a divine artifact! Amidst his joy, Chris also completed the upgrade of his base. Next, he was going to summon his followers. ¡°If I can summon a blacksmith, wouldn¡¯t I be invincible?¡± Chris smiled to himself, then began the summoning¡­ This time the summoning was not up to chance like when he had summoned Whitey. Instead, he was given the choice to choose from a bunch of followers. [As the host is the first participant to complete the level 3 base, you can choose from the 240 followers!] Chris was overjoyed when he saw the notification! Back then, he was still afraid that he would not be able to summon a follower that could enhance his weapons. Now, he did not have to worry at all! 240 followers, how could there be no blacksmith? So Chris began to search¡­ When Chris saw the picture of one of the 240 followers, he chose it without hesitation! That was because this follower¡¯s information was too dazzling! No matter who it was, they would choose this blacksmith without hesitation! [The first summon is Dolan.] [Name: Dolan] [Race: Human] [Class: Blacksmith] [Class Ability Rating: Diamond!] [Potential: Limit reached!] Wow, there was actually a diamond-ranked blacksmith among the followers! What did this mean? He was about to rise in this world! Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chris looked at the description of Dolan¡­ [Master Dolan: He was once a student of the God of Craftsmen in the Land of Runes. In terms of craftsmanship, Dolan is the number one in the human race!] Chris¡¯s eyes widened at the system¡¯s evaluation. Good lord, isn¡¯t this the best human craftsman! He was actually summoned during the second summoning! This made Chris quite happy, since if he wanted to strengthen the obsidian sword in his hand, he would need an extremely advanced craftsman subordinate! The most important thing was that Master Dolan was completely different from Whitey, a follower that needed to be slowly leveled up! Master Dolan¡¯s Class Skills were at the max level! There was no need for him to level up. If nothing went wrong, as long as he had the materials, Master Dolan would definitely be able to complete the forging! Looking at the white-haired old man floating in front of him, Chris laughed in his heart. Master Dolan would definitely be able to strengthen this obsidian sword into the strongest divine weapon in this world! Currently, he still had two chances to summon followers. Chris didn¡¯t hesitate. After choosing to summon Dolan, he looked at the other two candidates. Among them was a beautiful woman and a mountain-like creature¡­ Currently, among the 240 followers, their attributes were the most eye-catching! [The candidates for this summon are: River & Mott] When Chris looked through the 240 followers, he was shocked to discover something. In this world, the strength of humans could not be underestimated! Not to mention Dolan who was a diamond-level craftsman, just the attributes of this human River made Chris sigh. [Name: River] [Race: Human] [Class: Swordsman] [Class Ability Rating: High Dark Iron] [Magic: Rune Edge, Gale Slash] [Potential: Level 6] [Strength: 375kg] [Speed: 135] [Mana: 175 / 175] [Status: Can be dispatched] [¡­] Although her Class Ability Rating was only high dark iron, she had a level 6 potential!. What did level 6 mean! Chris¡¯ strongest follower, Whitey, who was the descendant of the frost dragon, only had level 7 potential! River¡¯s potential was only one level lower than Whitey¡¯s. Furthermore, she had 375kg of strength, which was only 25kg lower than Whitey¡¯s! However, for a human to possess 375kg of strength, this was already beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Chris, who was looking forward to it, immediately looked at the remark about River. [River: The strongest chief swordsman in the Human Empire. She once held the Rune Sword and fought against hundreds of people from the Human Empire without being disadvantaged! Furthermore, she slaughtered an adult dragon at its peak! Note: She can recover her original strength through the recovery of her potential!] Such an evaluation made Chris extremely excited. He did not expect that his third summon too would be this powerful! However, Chris did not understand one thing. Since she was the commander of the Empire¡¯s soldiers, why would she fight with her own soldiers? However, all of this undoubtedly showed how powerful this swordsman was¡­ When Chris saw the last remark, he became excited! At her peak, she could actually kill an adult dragon! If he nurtured her well, wouldn¡¯t he have another powerful follower in the future? Chris sighed as he looked at the white hair in front of him and the swordsman¡¯s clothes that did not match her appearance. ¡°Not only is her appearance outstanding, even her strength is terrifying¡­¡± Then, Chris looked at the stats of the other follower who was summoned. [Name: Mott] [Race: Golem] [Strength Rating: High Dark Iron!] [Magic: Power of the Earth, Rock Armor!] [Potential: Level 5!] [Strength: 675kg] Speed: 15 [Mana: 75 / 75] [Status: Can be dispatched!] [¡­] Chris frowned. He had been delighted when he saw Mott¡¯s powerful strength. But when he saw its speed, his jaw nearly dropped. ¡°No matter how slow it is, it can¡¯t be slower than me, right?¡± Chris grumbled and started reading the remark about Mott. [Mott: Golem Race¡¯s only survivor. He can absorb earth power and is extremely powerful, but his speed is relatively slow. Also, because he has been isolated from the world, his communication ability is extremely poor! Unless there are special circumstances, it is advised not to dispatch him to missions!] Chris felt depressed when he saw this evaluation. However, once Mott was compared to the other 230 or so followers, Chris felt relieved. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just consider the last one as the best among the rest. I¡¯ll nurture him slowly in the future.¡± ¡°However, at the very least, he has a level 5 potential. In terms of fighting strength, he probably won¡¯t be at a disadvantage.¡± Chris gave such an evaluation. Although Mott¡¯s speed was only 15, if someone was hit by his strength that was close to 7 tons, even Whitey would probably be unable to withstand it. At this thought, Chris felt relieved. ¡°Begin summoning!¡± A streak of white light flashed, and three projections of similar size manifested before Chris. ¡°Greetings, Master!¡± ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Greetings, sir!¡± The last voice made Chris feel like it was out of character. And that voice was what River, a human, had shouted¡­ He saw Mott and Dolan bow like a servant greeting their master, while River saluted Chris like a soldier. For a moment, Chris felt helpless at the sight. It still felt a little strange to be suddenly called Sir¡­ ¡°No need for pleasantries. Since we are all together, there will be no master and servants. We are all friends.¡± Chris smiled and walked in front of everyone, heading towards the base. ¡°Whitey, come and have a meal with your new friends.¡± Chirp chirp chirp! Now that the base had been upgraded to level 3, the area it covered was more than five times larger than before. The small wooden house had now become like a large villa. The rooms could accommodate more than ten people! ¡°It¡¯s a dragon!!¡± Chris immediately turned around. Then, he saw River holding the broken rune sword and staring at Whitey in the sky with battle intent¡­ ¡°Sir, please give the order to kill the dragon!¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Whitey naturally sensed something and turned around to look at River, his face filled with doubt. ¡°Sir! Please order me to kill this young dragon!¡± Chris was stunned. What was going on? But when Chris thought of the description of River, he hurried to the middle of the woman and dragon. ¡°River, is there a misunderstanding?¡± ¡°Whitey is my summoned creature. He¡¯s not some evil dragon!¡± Hearing this, River¡¯s expression did not relax. This was the first time she came to this world. If not for the inexplicable sense of obedience she felt towards Chris, she would have definitely cut down the dragon! Even at the cost of her life! That was because she was a human who had once fought with a dragon! ¡°Sir, you may not understand, but the level of the dragon¡¯s understanding of magic is not a realm that we humans can easily touch.¡± ¡°Back then, the dragon I saw in the Land of Runes was nurtured from a young age. After it became an adult dragon, it started to go berserk!¡± Upon hearing this, Chris was stunned for a moment. Beside him, Mott was also ready to fight. The battle between Whitey and the two new followers seemed to be on the verge of breaking out! Not only Mott, even Chris was dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t Whitey 100% loyal to him? River¡¯s intentions did not seem to be ill. However, he could not just watch as River killed Whitey, right? ¡°River, if I am not wrong, when the Empire invaded Elysia, the adult storm dragon went berserk because it touched an alchemical poison, right? An adult dragon had no chance of shaking off such a magic disturbance.¡± ¡°Moreover, according to this old man¡¯s knowledge, even the magic of the Dragon Races is unable to break the laws of this world. After all, this is the second time this old man has come to this world.¡± ¡°And Mott over there. I know all about you.¡± As the two sides confronted each other, a voice broke the silence. River turned to Dolan in disbelief¡­ The speaker was none other than the number one human blacksmith¡ªDolan. Suddenly, as if struck by a sudden thought, River felt a sharp pain in her head. [Unlocking River¡¯s hidden story. Do you wish to read it?] [Yes] [No] With his previous doubts, Chris chose yes. After all, it was a good thing to be able to understand the power of magic in this world. Suddenly, a stream of information flooded Chris¡¯s mind. When Chris learned these hidden stories, he finally understood the reason for River¡¯s actions! Back then. The Empire that River was in invaded the border Elysia to expand their territory. Except Elysia wasn¡¯t like other countries. There were countless dragon tamers and sects in this country. The Empire¡¯s army was unable to take it down. And so, without River¡¯s permission, the Empire dropped alchemical poisons on Elysia. The emergence of alchemical poisons had awakened the Storm Dragon that the Dragon Tamer family had served all year round¡­ River¡¯s Rune Sword was also the result of the battle with the Storm Dragon. Although she killed the dragon for the Empire, the rune sword broke. Moreover, countless comrades died not due to the dragon, but due to the alchemical poison that the Empire released¡­ The battle with the storm dragon had caused much of her memories to disappear. Apart from her name and the battle scene with the dragon, she knew nothing else. Through the news from the Empire, she only knew that the evil dragon destroyed the Empire¡¯s expedition army. And River was the Imperial Dragon Slayer¡­ Therefore, when she was rescued by the Empire, there was only endless enmity towards the dragon in her mind, as well as an indescribable sense of guilt. This sense of guilt entangled her for an unknown period of time. But River had no idea why she felt the guilt¡­ Dolan¡¯s words made her recall everything! This sense of guilt was the glory of being crowned the Dragon Slayer by the Empire! That was because the awakening of the dragon was caused by the Empire! An adult Storm Dragon had no chance of escaping from the magic disturbance caused by the alchemical poison! The Empire that she had once revered had actually chosen to abandon them at the critical moment! The key was that the person who saved her when she was unconscious was not someone from the Empire, but an old man from Elysia! As for why River appeared in the Empire after she woke up, it was obvious. After all, how could an Empire that advocated power allow a swordsman who could rival a dragon to appear in Elysia? All at once, Chris understood. So did River. River remembered everything that happened back then! Looking at Whitey in front of her, River, who seemed to have woken up from a dream, retracted her broken rune sword and bowed to Chris. ¡°Thank you, Master Dolan and Sir Chris. You helped me recall all of this.¡± River saluted Chris and said righteously, ¡°From today onwards, River will definitely follow all of Sir¡¯s orders, even if it means sacrificing my life.¡± If Chris hadn¡¯t summoned River here, she might never have known about this! However, at the same time, a strong sense of guilt arose from her heart. Now River was convinced that this was her path to forgiveness. Furthermore, she felt an inexplicable sense of obedience towards Chris. Chris heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was Master Dolan. From his words, Chris learned something very important. Master Dolan had actually appeared in this world before. No wonder he knew so much! It seemed that in the future, not only could he ask him questions related to forging, but could also ask him about other things related to this world! However, he should solve the issue of their meal now. Under Chris and Whitey¡¯s lead, they arrived at the villa and started a barbecue. In the base, Chris took out the spoils of war from yesterday. It was the meat of those ferocious beasts. When Whitey saw the meat, its eyes widened. Mott and Dolan also sat quietly. They had originally wanted to help, but when they saw River rushing forward, they did not interfere. Moreover, it seemed that River had superb culinary skills! River¡¯s skillful movements and precise control of time surprised Chris. He would burn the meat sometimes, but River did not make any such mistakes! Good lord! He had not only summoned a swordsman, he also got a chef! Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After lunch. Chris came eagerly to Dolan¡¯s room. Chris could tell from his words that this follower of his was definitely not simple! He had come to this world before! Furthermore, his ability rating was diamond! Since he was a diamond rank, he might be able to fight off against powerful ferocious beasts. Most importantly, Chris¡¯ Obsidian Sword¡¯s attributes were too precious. If Dolan could enhance it, it would be able to increase his combat ability to a certain extent. With this in mind, Chris went to Dolan¡¯s room. Dolan didn¡¯t close the door, as if he already expected this, so Chris walked in. ¡°Master, you¡¯re here.¡± Seeing Chris arrive, Dolan quickly closed the book he was reading and got off the bed to look at Chris. Chris wasn¡¯t in a hurry. He simply pulled out a stool and sat in front of Dolan, taking out the Obsidian Sword. The moment the Obsidian Sword was taken out, Dolan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. It was as if this sword had given him a huge shock! ¡°M-Master! How did you get this sword!¡± Dolan accepted the Obsidian Sword and began to stroke it. Although he had never seen this sword before, he was extremely familiar with its aura! Because this was the weapon bestowed by the world system! ¡°It¡¯s like this. I¡¯ve only been here for less than two days. This sword was obtained after I upgraded my base to level 3.¡± ¡°If it is possible, I hope that Master Dolan can help me enhance this weapon. Tell me if you need any materials.¡± Dolan adjusted his glasses before looking up again, but he still couldn¡¯t hide the shock on his face. ¡°It¡¯s like this. If this old man isn¡¯t wrong, this weapon should be a reward that only the first participant in the world to reach the level 3 base can obtain, right? If it¡¯s an enhancement, I naturally have a way. I only need the bones of a dire beast to enhance it once¡­¡± ¡°Wait! Master, you mean today is only the second day since you arrived here?¡± All of a sudden, Dolan realized something. His eyes narrowed and he revealed an expression of disbelief at Chris¡¯ words! He had been summoned before. However, by the time he was summoned, it was already the seventh day of this world. Unexpectedly, the new owner in front of him had only lived here for two days and had already raised his base to level 3! ¡°Mm, that¡¯s right. It¡¯s only the second day since I¡¯ve arrived in this world. I still don¡¯t know anything about this world. For example, this Soul Cordata Grass and Witch Potion. Is there any potion that can increase my strength more easily than this?¡± With that said, Chris took out the Witch Potion Crafting Book and the rest of the Soul Cordata Grass. Dolan was able to accept the fact that Chris obtained Witch Potion Crafting Book and Soul Cordata Grass. After all, Chris had obtained a world-class weapon. He was a participant who had raised his base to level 3 on the second day! Compared to this, what could a mere Witch Potion be considered as? ¡°Witch Potion Crafting Book¡­¡± Dolan took the book and began reading it. Then, he looked up and asked Chris, ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, you obtained this from the world system, right?¡± Chris nodded in agreement. ¡°Since the consumption limit is three times, why don¡¯t you just use it all?¡± Dolan laughed before returning the book to Chris. ¡°Since it¡¯s a crafting book given by the world, it has a corresponding growth rate. This Witch Potion Crafting Book can give a new potion recipe after Master concocts the Witch Potion three times. However, if you want to concoct it, Master will need to find a demonic grass.¡± Chris was intrigued. He had gotten Demon Fusion Grass from Jerry previously! He just did not know if this grass was the one Dolan mentioned! ¡°If I am not wrong, after you consume the Witch Potion three times, this Witch Potion¡¯s crafting book should undergo a system upgrade.¡± ¡°The Soul Cordata Grass is only a low-grade soul grass formed from the death of high level ferocious beasts or ordinary dire beasts. It¡¯s naturally not suitable to concoct a quality potion. If you want to use a dark Iron-grade potion, you¡¯ll need a demonic grass.¡± Chris nodded slightly at Dolan¡¯s words. He was looking forward to what Dolan would say next. ¡°It seems that I will fall unconscious for a long time after I take this Witch Potion. As for that demonic grass you mentioned, how can I obtain it?¡± Chris asked his question without hesitation. He had spent an entire night digesting the effect of the Witch Potion! If Chris were to eat the hearts of ferocious beasts during that time, the rate at which his strength increased would be much faster than taking the Witch Potion! In response to Chris¡¯s words, Dolan only smiled and stroked his white beard. ¡°Since master has already taken it once, then your body will definitely be able to endure the effects of the Witch Potion. You will no longer enter a state of unconsciousness when you take it. You only need to wait for the dosage time to pass before you can take it again.¡± ¡°As for that demonic grass, Master might not need it yet.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because in places where ferocious beasts and dire beasts live, thousands of stalks of Soul Cordata Grass can be combined into a single stalk of demonic grass. If Master finds it troublesome, you can go to places where demonic beasts live. However, in my opinion¡­¡± Before he finished speaking, Chris had already taken out a demonic grass from his pocket. When Dolan saw the demonic grass, his glasses fell off! ¡°Master! You! Why do you have this demonic grass!¡± Dolan¡¯s eyes widened when he saw the demonic grass in front of him. He had never imagined that the demonic grass would appear in Chris¡¯ hands! If it was just a world reward, then it could be attributed to luck. After all, Chris was really lucky to be able to directly upgrade to a level 3 base on the second day and obtain a world-class weapon. However, this Demon Fusion Grass was not just a matter of luck! The places where Demon Fusion Grass grew were the territories of ferocious beasts and demonic beasts! And every demonic beast was at least at the bronze level! In other words, it was almost impossible to obtain the Demon Fusion Grass in the early stages! And now, Chris had actually taken out one! Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chris only laughed at Dolan¡¯s words, and then told him about how he had traded the meat of a ferocious beast for the Demon Fusion Grass yesterday. When Dolan heard these words, his eyes widened like copper bells. It was as if he was saying that there was actually such a good thing in this world? ¡°You¡¯re telling me that the flesh, hide, and bones of a ferocious beast can be exchanged for a Demon Fusion Grass?¡± If it had been Dolan, he would have pushed the price much higher. That was because the Demon Fusion Grass was not a medicinal herb that the participants of the first day could use! Its price would rise sharply after the third day! At that time, a Demon Fusion Grass could at least exchange for all the materials of a demonic beast! Now, with just a little bit of beast meat, bones, and a piece of skin, Chris had easily obtained this demonic grass! This was too unbelievable for Dolan! Dolan was now convinced of one thing. Chris was the chosen one this time! ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I will tell Master what I think¡­¡± In short, Dolan¡¯s advice to Chris was that it was best if the following battles were dealt with by his followers. When Chris¡¯s speed and strength reached 1,000, Chris would be able to reach the bronze rank. At that time, he would be able to head straight to the base of the dire beasts and quickly increase his strength. That was because Chris would only be able to obtain materials to strengthen the Obsidian Sword in the territory of the dire beasts! ¡°Is that so? Then Master Dolan, can you come with us to suppress the demonic beasts?¡± Chris had tried to send Dolan to hunt, but the system hadn¡¯t allowed that to happen. He didn¡¯t know if it was Dolan¡¯s own reluctance or some other reason that made it impossible to dispatch him. In the earlier stages, a diamond-level follower should be able to wipe out no matter what kind of monster he faced. Dolan replied calmly, ¡°This old man is only a blacksmith. The matters of fighting and killing still have to be handled by master and other followers.¡± ¡°I have a suggestion for Master. If you can raise the strength of that dragon first, Master¡¯s path will be incomparably smooth.¡± Chris nodded slightly at Dolan¡¯s words. He did not expect that there were so many troublesome things in this world. However, if he were able to send his diamond-level follower from the start, the cheat would be too obvious. However, he would need to consume the Witch Potions before looking for demonic grasses. Hence, with this thought in mind, Chris brought Whitey and River to the territories of ferocious beasts. ¡°Sir, be careful. There might be an extremely dangerous monster around!¡± Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey echoed. Their strength was almost at the bronze level. That was why they could also sense that there was a powerful life form not far out! Although the current River was much weaker, not even one-tenth of what it was before, her combat instincts were still very sharp. She could sense any danger around her immediately. As for the surrounding ferocious beasts, she was confident that she could kill them. However, there was a terrifying monster not far away. After consuming the Witch Potion and the hearts of numerous ferocious beasts, Chris also could sense that there was an existence nearby that could threaten them! Suddenly, Chris thought of the speed at which Whitey had hastily flown back this morning. Whitey¡¯s true speed might be much more than that. ¡°Whitey, with your speed, do you think the dire beast there can catch up to you?¡± Chris looked at Whitey, who was flapping its wings. When he upgraded the wood warehouse today, he saw the speed with which Whitey was flying. It should be able to reach the speed of sound. When Chris had asked Whitey to carry the meat before, it had been flying slowly because it was too lazy. ¡°Sir, Whitey is just a baby dragon. It might not be that fast.¡± River reminded him kindly. After all, it was not easy for a baby dragon to fly. If it were to become a scout, wouldn¡¯t it lose its life if it encountered any danger? Moreover, she had once fought against an adult dragon. She was well aware of the dragon¡¯s strength. Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey only flapped its wings to show that it would not be a problem. It seemed to want to show off a dragon¡¯s speed! Naturally, River could see that as well. She felt a pang of nervousness. However, Chris knew Whitey¡¯s strength very well. ¡°You underestimate Whitey. It should be able to easily fly while carrying both of us¡­¡± As soon as he said that, Chris pulled River into his arms. Before she could react, Whitey grabbed onto Chris¡¯s shoulders and flapped its wings to fly! ¡°Sir¡­ this¡­ should be dangerous, right? Whitey is just a baby dragon!¡± For a moment, River was at a loss as to what to do with this sudden scene. Her face flushed red! River¡¯s parents had passed away when she was young. At the young age of thirteen, she had joined the Empire and became a soldier. She only interacted with men with swords. Anyone who dared to do this to her would have died under her sword! However, River had no intention of resisting what Chris had done. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Whitey is very strong. Carrying the two of us is not an issue for it.¡± As he spoke, Chris tightened his grip. Chris was not worried about hurting River. After all, River was the strongest swordsman in the Empire! If he could hurt her, that would be too funny! Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey agreed. Seeing this, River finally felt relieved. ¡°Master, if you want to learn flying skills, you only need to reach 500 points of mana.¡± Chris opened his character panel. Name: Chris Race: Human Base Level: LV3 Potential: Level 1 Strength: 55 (1 = 10KG) Speed: 28 Soul: 11 Mana: 20 / 20 Magic: Unlearned Skill: Corpse Dissection Population: 5/10 Buildings: Base Lv3 Chapter 20 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Heavens! Then why was Whitey able to fly despite having so little mana? And he was only a whelp! Chris grumbled inwardly. River also realized something and replied, ¡°Dragons are born with a high affinity with mana, so when they use magic, they only need one-tenth of what a human needs. So they only need 50 mana to fly.¡± Heavens! ¡°This¡­ Whitey, are you that strong?¡± Chris looked at Whitey helplessly, feeling speechless. It was fine that the dragons had a strong magic affinity, but why was it ten times stronger than humans? If humans used magic once, dragons could use magic ten times! So how did River kill such a monster? ¡°By the way, River, when you came to this world, did you obtain any understanding of this world as a follower?¡± ¡°Whitey may be a whelp, but it seems to know some things. As for Master Dolan, he is someone who has come here for the second time. Moreover, it seems that Mott and you both know each other. Could your world be related?¡± When he thought of what River had said about flight requiring 500 mana, Chris immediately reacted. This was not her original world. How did River know that flight required 500 mana? That could only mean one thing. The followers that he summoned might all be related to this world! Or rather, the followers that Chris summoned would gain some understanding of this world! Hearing Chris¡¯s words, River suddenly thought of something. ¡°Indeed. Sir, if you didn¡¯t ask, I really wouldn¡¯t have noticed that I gained some knowledge indescribably after coming to this world.¡± ¡°For example, the way we fight in this world is exactly the same as the world I was in before.¡± ¡°Dragons and golems like Whitey and Mott have appeared in our world before. However, it has been almost a thousand years since a baby frost dragon with such magic power like Whitey has appeared!¡± ¡°As far as I know, Whitey¡¯s mana is already considered as a fledgling dragon in our world! If I am not wrong, when Whitey becomes a late-stage fledgling, it will have the ability to rival that storm dragon.¡± ¡°And in our world, there is a unified classification, which is dark iron, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Above those are existences that have already surpassed ordinary.¡± ¡°An existence like Master Dolan should be close to reaching a Master-level craftsman in terms of ability.¡± Chris frowned slightly at River¡¯s explanation. Especially Whitey. Chris would never have thought that it, a frost dragon whelp, had the strength of a fledgling dragon. Didn¡¯t that mean that after Whitey reached the fledgling stage, it would possess the strength of an adult dragon? Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey expressed its joy and flapped its wings. ¡°This world¡¯s power system seems to be very simple.¡± Chris analyzed carefully. It was just using the level system of bronze, silver, and so on to differentiate strength. Chris suddenly thought of the broken sword and asked. ¡°Exactly how powerful is that rune sword? Could it be that there¡¯s no way to restore it?¡± The Rune Sword that could kill an adult dragon must be stronger than Chris¡¯s Obsidian Sword. Chris was looking forward to it¡­ ¡°Now, I can only use my own mana to forcefully put these fragments together. As for the method of restoration, I do not know. I still need to consult Master Dolan¡­¡± As she spoke, River took out her broken sword. A powerful energy gathered on the broken sword. At the same time, a large number of rune fragments surged out from River¡¯s swordsman uniform, forcefully being pieced together. As for Whitey, after sensing this rune sword, even the rhythm of its wings began to become unstable! Chris naturally noticed this, but he did not expect that even a powerful life form like Whitey would be afraid of this Rune Sword! Also, this rune sword was only forcibly pieced together by River! Just this alone was enough to deter the Frost Dragon, Whitey! The power of this rune sword was evident! [Rune Sword (Broken): It can provide 120% Strength and, to a certain extent, can destroy the defense of specific races!] [Specific races are: Crystal race, demonic beasts, dragons, vampires¡­] Chris was shocked by this information. He didn¡¯t expect there to be so many races in this world! This was just a damaged rune sword. Not only could it provide bonus strength, it could actually destroy the defense of these races! So, how powerful was River at her peak that she could kill a terrifying adult Storm Dragon? Chris looked at River and asked, ¡°Then what kind of strength did you have when you were at your peak, which is when you were fighting against the Storm Dragon?¡± Chris was looking forward to the reply, since River knew so much and was a human who had once killed an adult dragon. Regarding Chris¡¯s question, River also looked over, her eyes flickering as she gave an answer. ¡°Maybe at diamond? If I had the complete Rune Sword, I should be able to reach the level of a Master.¡± The evaluation that River gave of herself shocked Chris! River could actually reach the level of a Master with the intact rune sword! Suddenly, Chris showed a gloating expression. What could he say, he was just too lucky! He could actually summon a follower with such a high limit like River! ¡°Not bad, River!¡± As he spoke, Chris tightened his grip on River. However, River had no intention of resisting. At this moment, a roar came from not far away, making the group nervous! ¡°Be careful!¡± Whitey also realized something. Previously, it did not fly at full speed because it wanted to protect the two of them. Thus, upon sensing danger, Whitey immediately flew into the sky. At that moment, Chris saw the monster below! It was a spider, but it had a human face! Race: Human-Faced Spider Strength: 935 (1 Strength = 10kg) Speed: 175 Status: Savage! Danger Level: dire beast! Recommend challenging it after your follower reaches the bronze rank. Chapter 21 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chris looked at the Human-Faced Spider lying on the ground, a chill running down his spine. The pressure that a dire beast gave humans was definitely not something that an ordinary ferocious beast could compare to! Such a dire beast was an unimaginable existence to humans. Chris took out his obsidian sword. For a moment, he wanted to test the power of this obsidian sword. However, River spoke up. ¡°Sir, in my opinion, it¡¯s best if we retreat now. There are many beasts nearby, and Whitey and I are close to breaking through to the bronze rank.¡± ¡°Once we break through to the bronze level, even if it¡¯s a dire beast, it¡¯s nothing in our hands. Of course, this is only my suggestion.¡± River kept her eyes fixed on the human-faced spider below, but because they were in the sky, the human-faced spider did not notice them immediately. Chris began to think. Although the Obsidian Sword could ignore 35% of armor of creatures under silver rank, he himself was too weak. As River had said, this dire beast was a very powerful existence to Chris. It could even be said that even if Chris were to face a human-faced spider that had no defense, there was no way he could win! Chris nodded and agreed with River. He was not a reckless person. Moreover, it was rare for him to obtain such a huge advantage in this world of survival. If he were to lose everything because of his mistake, he would regret it for the rest of his life. Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey agreed as well. The dire beast below was a threat to it too. Even though Whitey¡¯s strength had barely reached fledgling stage, it still felt threatened by the spider. Whitey could fight against such a monster, but it was not 100% sure of its victory! If its strength reached the bronze level, it would definitely be able to kill this human-faced spider! Chris opened the character panel of Whitey and River. Name: Whitey Race: Frost Dragon Potential: Level 7 Strength Level: High Dark Iron (750 / 1000) Location: Level 3 Base Status: Can be dispatched. ¡­ Name: River Race: Human Potential: Level 6 Strength Level: High Dark Iron (450 / 1000) Location: Level 3 Base Status: Can be dispatched. Seeing their experience points, Chris rejoiced inwardly. At this speed, it should take a few hours at most for River and Whitey to reach the bronze stage. Chris then opened his character panel. Name: Chris Race: Human Potential: Level 1 Strength Level: Low Dark Iron (150 / 700) Location: Level 3 Base Status: Good ¡­ Chris frowned when he saw his stats panel. Why were his experience points so low? It was fine if his potential was only at level 1, but he had eaten so much ferocious beast meat and used the Witch Potion once. Why were his experience points so little? Furthermore, in terms of level and strength, he was actually only a low dark iron? Chris was at a loss. After confirming that River also did not know the reason, Chris opened the chat group. It was already the second day, and the 1,500 people had already begun summoning their followers for the second time. There might be others in the chat group who summoned knowledgeable followers. System announcement: ¡°Father Hamel (LV3 Base) is online!¡± As Chris was the first participant to upgrade to LV3 base, he obtained some authority in the chat group. When he entered the chat group, there would be a system announcement. Arthur: ¡°Father Hamel is online! Father Hamel, did you find another ferocious beast bone? If you have them, I¡¯m willing to trade the wood and stone I got earlier! I don¡¯t have much, only about sixty to seventy!¡± Thor, the God of Thunder: ¡°Wow! My luck is really good. I just entered the chat group and saw Father Hamel online. Could it be that Father Hamel is preparing to sell the bones of a ferocious beast again? If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m going to work now!¡± Tom: ¡°Oh! My Father Hamel! Your Tom missed you so much! You¡¯re finally online again! @Jerry Father Hamel is here. Hurry up and come out to welcome him!¡± Jerry: ¡°Hey! I was cutting trees! Why did you ping me! Oh! So Father Hamel is here, then it¡¯s fine! Did Father Hamel get some divine weapon again?¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°It¡¯s not that easy to pick up the bones of a ferocious beast. Father Hamel, you¡¯re probably going to announce some bad news to us, right? Hahaha! Father Hamel, if you¡¯re willing to show weakness to me, I¡¯m willing to help you!¡± Jerry: ¡°Has Alexander the Great¡¯s face not been slapped swollen yet? Do you still want Tom and I to expose your past!¡± Tom: ¡°Exposing Alexander the Great+1! Father Hamel is our savior!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chris couldn¡¯t find the information he wanted, so he directly voiced out his doubts. ¡°I¡¯m sure your followers know about the leveling up, right? Speaking of which, how much experience do you get from killing those ferocious beasts and monsters¡± The entire chat group fell silent. Alexander the Great and Arthur were dumbfounded. Arthur: ¡°That¡¯s impossible! I killed so many lambs myself, but my EXP didn¡¯t increase at all. Instead, my followers did nothing and gained a lot of EXP! I¡¯m so jealous!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°What!? We can actually gain EXP by killing those beasts and animals? Father, are you lying to me?!¡± Tom: ¡°Yo! Yo! Alexander the Great, why are you acting up again? You can¡¯t, but that doesn¡¯t mean that Father Hamel can¡¯t! There must be someone in the chat group who can answer Father!¡± Jerry: ¡°The follower I summoned today doesn¡¯t know anything about experience points¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Just then, a private message request appeared in front of Chris. ¡°Anna requests to set up a private chat with you!¡± Chapter 22 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When Chris saw this private message request, he agreed without any hesitation. He wanted to see what kind of information the other party could provide. Also, Anna¡¯s message in the private chat request had caught Chris¡¯s attention. Remark: ¡°I have answers to your question. Not only about the experience points, but also the Chosen One. If possible, I would like to use this information to exchange for some ferocious beast hearts.¡± Chris¡¯s interest was piqued when he saw the mention of Chosen One. The hearts of ferocious beasts could now be considered the most desired food in the chat group! This was because the hearts could not only increase speed and strength, but also increase reaction speed to a certain extent! To Chris, however, the hearts were becoming less and less useful. Chris had raised this question in his conversation with Dolan. Why could Whitey and River not increase their stats through the hearts? Whitey and River could be considered Chris¡¯ two strongest fighting strengths at the moment. Hence, Chris hoped that he could use the the ferocious beast hearts to increase their strength. Initially, Chris had thought that the hearts of ferocious beasts could only provide strength and speed enhancement to humans. As a dragon, Whitey might not receive any enhancements. However, the Golem Mott was able to increase its speed through the heart of a ferocious beast. This confused Chris. Why was it that the heart of a ferocious beast could increase Mott¡¯s speed, but had no effect on River and Whitey? Chris understood after receiving Dolan¡¯s answer. Beast¡¯s heart. Only those creatures with less than 100 points in Strength, Speed, and Reflexes could increase the stats with the hearts. Creatures with more than 100 points of stats had no use for hearts other than to fill their stomachs. Soon, Chris too would no longer need to eat hearts to increase his strength. Furthermore, if he wanted to, he could hunt all the ferocious beasts he wanted. In the eyes of other participants, the hearts of ferocious beasts might be a hard to obtain resource, but to Chris, it was just a snack that could be easily obtained. Therefore, he agreed to Anna¡¯s request. On another area, a red-haired girl was sitting on the ground. Beside her was a gigantic treant. ¡°Grandpa Kurt, do you think Father Hamel will really be interested in the so-called Chosen One? Is this Chosen One really that powerful?¡± ¡°Also, is the method to gain experience points real? If it is, does that mean I can also improve my strength?¡± ¡°Right, Grandpa Kurt, will the heart of a ferocious beast taste bad? Can the Father even eat that kind of thing?¡± The treant in front of her was the follower that Anna summoned in her second summoning chance. This follower was an ancient existence of the Treant Clan. Moreover, he basically knew everything about this world. In terms of intelligence, Kurt knew more than just this! Kurt replied to Anna¡¯s question, ¡°The meat in this world isn¡¯t what you are thinking of. It¡¯s no different from the beef you ate before. There won¡¯t be any stench.¡± ¡°As for the heart of a ferocious beast and increasing your strength, you need to trust me on this. The premise is that you satisfy those requirements, my summoner.¡± When faced with Anna¡¯s doubtful gaze, Kurt only smiled gently, as if everything was under control. However, his gaze became more serious. He had appeared in this world before, but this was the first time he had seen someone who had reached Level 3 base on the second day! At this moment, a notification appeared in front of Anna. [You have successfully set up a private chat with Father Hamel (LV3 Base)] Seeing this message, Anna¡¯s mood improved. Father Hamel: ¡°What is your information? If you¡¯re just going to tell me that the heart of a ferocious beast can increase strength, then I¡¯m sorry, but I won¡¯t give you anything.¡± Father Hamel: ¡°And the Chosen One you speak of, I hope that you have real intelligence, and not a fabrication.¡± Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Anna also laughed. Because Father Hamel¡¯s words proved that he did not have Kurt¡¯s information. Furthermore, Father Hamel was indeed very interested in the term ¡®Chosen One¡¯! In other words, she would soon be able to exchange for the heart of the ferocious beast and increase her strength! Anna already felt impatient at that thought. Anna: ¡°Of course not, Father. On the second day, I summoned a follower who is very knowledgeable. I learned from my follower that participants can also strengthen themselves by gaining experience points, but they need to hunt with their own weapon. The higher the quality of the weapon, the potential and experience points obtained will also increase!¡± Upon hearing Anna¡¯s words, Chris immediately understood something. Previously, Arthur, who relied on a sword to kill the lambs, and Alexander the Great, who killed the bulls and lambs. They had only one thing in common. They did not have a weapon that belonged to themselves! On the other hand, he possessed the Obsidian Sword, so he was able to improve his strength! Chris believed that this information was definitely not false! He just didn¡¯t expect it to be so ridiculous. On the other side, Anna¡¯s heart began to beat faster for a few seconds after she shared Kurt¡¯s information. This was because she knew that this might be her only chance to interact with Father Hamel! If the other party was unwilling to believe this piece of information, Anna¡¯s cooperation with Father Hamel would probably end here! Anna felt nervous. A while later. Father Hamel: ¡°Well, I believe your information. But I want to know what the so-called Chosen One means?¡± Anna¡¯s heart that had been hanging in her throat immediately relaxed! This was because, as Grandpa Kurt had said, Chris cared about the existence of the Chosen One! Also, from what Grandpa Kurt said, Anna could understand that the intelligence of the Chosen One was definitely one of the more valuable ones! And through Father Hamel¡¯s exchanges with Tom and Jerry, she might receive a higher return! Chapter 23 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Having obtained the answer, Chris didn¡¯t hesitate to send a ferocious beast heart. It was just the heart of a ferocious beast, nothing much to Chris. Anna¡¯s mailbox started flashing. She did not need to think to know who had mailed her. So, with anticipation, Anna opened her mailbox, and a message box appeared. [Congratulations on obtaining the heart of a ferocious beast! From: Father Hamel!] Anna was overjoyed. Putting aside the fact that Father Hamel actually had such a thing, Anna never expected that a mere piece of information could be exchanged for such a precious thing! Then, wouldn¡¯t the following information be exchanged for something more valuable? ¡°Grandpa Kurt! You¡¯re right, this information is enough to earn us a decent sum!¡± Anna turned to Kurt with a smile. The heart of a ferocious beast was indeed like what Kurt had said. There was no stench of blood at all! It could be seen how friendly this world was to humans! When Kurt saw the heart of the ferocious beast, his heart trembled. ¡°Anna, my master, in the future, you must be on good terms with this Father Hamel. If I¡¯m not wrong, this should be the strongest of the ferocious beasts.¡± ¡°Among the ferocious beasts, the strongest creature is the Lion King!¡± ¡°If I remember correctly, this Lion King can only be killed on the fifth day. Father Hamel actually killed such a creature!¡± For the first time, Anna saw Kurt¡¯s shocked expression. She looked at the lion king¡¯s heart in her hand and swallowed her saliva. She never thought that she would be able to exchange for something like this! If Anna told the Father all the information about the Chosen One, wouldn¡¯t she be able to obtain a piece of ferocious beast bone? Back then, Tom and Jerry had used that ferocious beast bone to its fullest! Those below the level of ferocious beasts did not dare to provoke them! While they had been thinking about how to survive the night, Tom and Jerry had a good sleep! Anna was not the only one who witnessed that scene. Everyone else was green with envy! That was why the ferocious beast bone was one of the things Anna wanted! So Anna made her request. Anna: ¡°Father, I would like to exchange information about the Chosen One with a piece of ferocious beast bone. After all, in this world, survival is the most important thing, right?¡± Anna waited patiently. As long as Father Hamel agreed, Anna would tell him everything she learned from Kurt! On the other side, after Chris sent out the message, he looked at River. ¡°River, how much do you know about the Chosen One?¡± Although this was the first time that River had come to this world, she seemed to have obtained some basic knowledge of this world. If River knew about the Chosen One, there was no need to make a deal. But River shook her head and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know about these things, Master Dolan might know. I¡¯ve never heard of the existence of Chosen One in my world.¡± Chris wasn¡¯t surprised at all. It was already very good for River to know the general knowledge of this world. If she did not know about the Chosen One, it meant that this was not ordinary intelligence! Perhaps even Master Dolan might not know this information! Hence, after hearing Anna¡¯s request, Chris gave an affirmative answer. Father Hamel: ¡°No problem. You deserve a piece of ferocious beast bone!¡± Anna, who had been waiting anxiously, was overjoyed! As expected of Father Hamel! In terms of remuneration, he did not even blink an eye! This was a real Father! Since he was so straightforward, Anna did not hesitate at all. Anna: ¡°It¡¯s like this, Father Hamel. In this world, people like us who are suddenly summoned to this place are called participants or summoners.¡± ¡°Ordinary Summoners can only summon some birds and beasts that don¡¯t have much combat power. Therefore, they can only rely on themselves to survive the early stages of the game. However, the Chosen Ones are different.¡± ¡°The summoned creatures summoned by the Chosen Ones are generally stronger than the summoned creatures summoned by the summoners.¡± Hearing Anna¡¯s explanation, Chris frowned and replied. Father Hamel: ¡°You mean I¡¯m a Chosen One? Then what should I do? Or rather, what is the Chosen One¡¯s duty?¡± Anna answered without hesitation. Anna: ¡°I will give this piece of information to you. Since the Chosen Ones have summoned powerful life forms, they will definitely become the leaders. An event will be triggered after someone¡¯s base reaches level 4.¡± ¡°This event can combine other chat groups with our chat groups. Then, there will be a showdown led by the Chosen Ones, or a mission to deal with the monsters together.¡± Upon hearing Anna¡¯s information, Chris had no doubts. In other words, their group of 2,000 were not the only ones to appear in this world. The others were just not in the same chat group1 as them! ¡°Thanks.¡± After obtaining this information, Chris was not stingy at all. He directly sent the payment to Anna. In Chris¡¯ opinion, such information was completely worth the price. If Dolan did not know about this information, then he would have made a killing! On the other side, Anna and Kurt were shocked when they saw Chris¡¯s payment! ¡°Lion king bones, lion king flesh, lion king fur¡­¡± Heavens! Ah Father, this is a whole lion! Seeing this, Anna had a thought. I must build a good relationship with Tom and Jerry. If I want to survive in this world, I must follow Father Hamel! If even Father Hamel failed, who could she look for? Alexander the Great? Chapter 24 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After receiving the secret information, Chris began to think. If there were other Chosen Ones in this world, it meant that his strength might not be the strongest. However, through Anna¡¯s words, Chris could guess another piece of information. These people seemed to have come at the same time as Chris. In other words, as long as Chris increased his base¡¯s level fast enough, the other chat groups would not have a chance to develop! ¡°Let¡¯s level up first. Our next target will be the Human-faced Spider!¡± Chris turned toward the distant roar. ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Chirp chirp chirp! River and Whitey agreed without any hesitation. After they marked the location of the human-faced spider, they began to move towards the territories of other ferocious beasts. With their current experience points, as long as they killed for a while more, they would reach the bronze level very soon! Arriving at the territory of a ferocious beast, Chris looked at the obsidian sword in his hand, and then looked at the lion that was resting. Name: Red Lion Potential: Level 2 Strength: 75 Speed: 67 Soul: 3 Mana: 0 / 0 Defense: 67 Skill: Red Lion Pounce (Low Dark Iron, Consumes 35% Stamina) Danger Level: Extremely dangerous for the host. While the Red Lion is resting, the host can use the Obsidian Sword to penetrate it! Chris had originally planned to let River and Whitey deal with this beast. But when he saw the final evaluation, Chris felt relieved. When it was resting, could the Obsidian Sword directly kill it? With this in mind, Chris no longer hesitated and entered the Red Lion¡¯s resting place. Chris felt emboldened after seeing the evaluation. After quietly approaching the Red Lion, Chris swung his obsidian sword and stabbed it. With 35% ignore defense, no matter how high the lion¡¯s defense was, it could not block this attack! As expected, the moment the obsidian sword pierced through the lion, it turned into streaks of golden light and disappeared into Chris¡¯s body! Chris opened his character panel. Name: Chris Race: Human Base Level: LV3 Strength Level: Low Dark Iron (200 / 700) Potential: Level 1 Strength: 78 (1 = 10KG) Speed: 67 Soul: 11 Mana: 20 / 20 Magic: Unlearned Skill: Corpse Dissection Population: 5/10 Buildings: Base Lv3 ¡­ After killing the Red Lion, he only gained 50 experience points. When Chris saw that River had killed three ferocious beasts with her Rune Sword, Whitey instantly killed five. [Ding! Your follower River used Gale Slash and killed three cheetahs!] [Ding! Your follower Whitey used an Ice Spike and killed a baboon!] [Ding! Your follower, Whitey, used Ice Spike and killed a lion!] [¡­] Not only that, after killing a ferocious beast once, River was like a god of death, beginning to search the territories of ferocious beasts.. The other beasts also felt the terror of this human, and went into hiding! Chris subconsciously opened River¡¯s character panel. He was also very curious about the difference between River and him. After killing three ferocious beasts, how much experience did she get? [Name: River] [Race: Human] [Class: Swordsman] [Class Ability Rating: High Dark Iron (750 / 1000)] [Magic: Rune Edge (High Gold, consumes 56 mana), Gale Slash (High Diamond, consumes 70 mana), Battle Roar (High Platinum, consumes 85 mana)] [Potential: Level 6] [Strength: 375kg] [Speed: 135] [Magic Power: 375 / 375] [Status: Fighting] ¡­ Chris was depressed when he saw the stats. River¡¯s experience points panel Chris had seen earlier on was only 450. She had only killed three ferocious beasts, but had gained 300 experience points! And these magic skills of hers. Comparison was really odious! Furthermore, he was competing with his own follower! Whitey¡¯s stats should not be so exaggerated, right? Chris opened Whitey¡¯s interface. However, when he saw Whitey¡¯s interface, he had mixed feelings! Name: Whitey [Race: Dragon Race] [Class: None] [Strength Rating: Low Bronze (150 / 2000)] [Magic: Eternal Ice Sword (Low Gold, consumes 50 mana), Ice Arrow Rain (Medium Gold, consumes 70 mana), Force of Nature (High Platinum, increases magic damage for a short period of time)¡­] [Potential: Level 7] [Strength: 1250] [Speed: 1150] [Mana: 350 / 350] [Status: Fighting] Good heavens, Whitey¡¯s strength had already reached the bronze rank! Then, several information boxes appeared before Chris. [Your follower, Whitey, has killed a ferocious beast and leveled up to Low Bronze!] After all, Whitey was a dragon. Chris had nothing to say about this. Then, another information panel appeared before Chris¡¯s eyes. [Your follower, River, killed a ferocious beast and leveled up to Low Bronze!] Chris was stunned. Wasn¡¯t this rate of improvement a little too fast!? They had only been here for an hour! Although it was within Chris¡¯s expectations that the experience points would increase very quickly. However, Chris never expected that in less than an hour, his two subordinates would reach this stage! ¡°Sir, we can go and fight that dire beast.¡± With the Rune Sword in hand, River arrived before Chris, her eyes filled with fighting spirit. The expression on River¡¯s face looked like she was taking revenge for a personal grudge against that human-faced spider! In the next second, a new prompt appeared before Chris. [Congratulations! Your follower, Whitey, has killed the human-faced spider!] [Please arrive at the destination quickly and proceed with the dissection!] Chapter 25 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chris instinctively looked to his side and saw that Whitey had disappeared who knows when. Did Whitey go to kill that human-faced spider when it disappeared? Chris felt helpless. ¡°Sir, when are we leaving?¡± Faced with River¡¯s adorable expression, Chris sighed helplessly. He looked into the distance and muttered to himself, ¡°Let¡¯s find another dire beast. That beast has already been killed by Whitey.¡± A look of shock appeared on River¡¯s face. She had noticed Whitey flying towards the territory of the human-faced spider, but she had yet to enter bronze rank at that time. Now, Chris was telling her that Whitey had killed the spider? As her summoner, Chris had no reason to lie to her. The human-faced spider died just like that? Chris also had his doubts. The two of them looked at each other, and walked towards the territory of the human-faced spider. Along the way, they saw corpses of many ferocious beasts pierced by the ice swords. Chris felt distressed. After all, there was so much ferocious beast meat. They couldn¡¯t just leave them here and wait for them to spoil, right? Since Whitey seemed to be safe, Chris dissected these corpses along the way. Although the corpses of these beasts were dissected, Whitey was not there to carry them. Just then, Chris thought of something and opened the trading platform. In the chat group. Tom: ¡°Sigh! Who knows about what the Father asked earlier? If I knew, I would definitely exchange this information with Father Hamel!¡± Jerry: ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s not just you. I want to do the same. If I knew what the Father wanted, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem to get some rewards. I might even be able to exchange for a piece of ferocious beast meat! Speaking of which, ferocious beast meat is really delicious!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°Tom and Jerry, you are about to be tamed into pets by the Father. One day, you will regret not following me!¡± Arthur: ¡°Forget it! Alexander the Great, I remember there were many people with you yesterday. Why isn¡¯t anyone speaking for you now? You cannot imagine the strength of Father Hamel. It¡¯s time for you to treat your stupidity!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°This speech has been blocked!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Just when the conversation turned into an argument, a screenshot was suddenly uploaded. Anna: ¡°Do you see that? These are what I exchanged with Father Hamel!¡± In an instant, all eyes were on Anna¡¯s message. In the picture she had attached, there was some meat that they had never seen before, as well as the heart of a ferocious beast. Not only that, she also obtained a ferocious beast bone! Moreover, from the looks of it, this ferocious beast bone looked even more threatening than those of Jerry and Tom! Thor, the God of Thunder: ¡°What is this!? Are these the rewards from Father Hamel? What information did you exchange for them? Can you share them with us?¡± Black Widow: ¡°Wow! So much ferocious beast meat, bone, and beast skin. If I¡¯m not wrong, this skin is of a Red Lion! In this world, Red Lions are extremely powerful creatures! Their strength is close to 100 points!¡± Murlin: ¡°How is that possible! Nearly a ton of strength! Father Hamel can actually kill such a monster! @Father Hamel, please provide for me! No matter what you say, I will definitely do it! And that Alexander the Great, you should shut up!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°This speech has been blocked¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Just as everyone was discussing. ¡°Hey! Did you guys see that? There¡¯s a huge pile of ferocious beast meat on the market, and there¡¯s even ferocious beast skin and bones!¡± ¡°What! It¡¯s actually the bones of a ferocious beast! As long as we have the bones, wouldn¡¯t we be able to have a good night¡¯s sleep like Tom and Jerry?¡± ¡°Someone can actually sell something as rare as the bones of a ferocious beast? It can¡¯t be Alexander the Great, right? Wait, could it be Father Hamel?¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey! A total of 15 bones! This has already exceeded my understanding! The Father can actually kill so many beasts! Who is he? Is he a monster?¡± ¡°@Father Hamel I beg you, Father! Please lower the price of the bones! 10,000 wood! I¡¯ll probably have to work in this world for the rest of my life to buy it!¡± ¡°@Father Hamel that¡¯s right! Father, please lower the price! We need this ferocious beast bone! It will be okay if you can at least allow us to pay in installations and let us get through this period of time!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Countless people were surprised when they saw the bones. This was especially true for those who heard that there were bones of ferocious beasts in the market. Originally, they held the intention of exchanging for them with the wood and stone they had gathered in a day. Who would have thought that the bones and skin of a ferocious beast were priced at 10,000 wood or stone! Wasn¡¯t this blatant robbery!? However, there was more than just these put up in the trading platform. What was even more attractive was the hearts of ferocious beasts, a food that could directly increase strength! Father Hamel was actually exchanging them for wood and stones! ¡°Father Hamel, what is he doing now? 40 wood or stone for 1kg of ferocious beast meat feels like a loss for me!¡± ¡°Wow! A ferocious beast¡¯s heart is priced at 8000 wood or stone! My wood and stone added together probably doesn¡¯t even reach 8000!¡± ¡°Could Father Hamel have no intention of selling these things at all? Is he just using the trading platform as a storage? Does he need to bless these bones for them to protect us?¡± ¡°Previous poster, don¡¯t be naive! Do you really believe that Father Hamel is blessing these things? My followers have already told me that the bones of a ferocious beast have a powerful suppression force against lower rank creatures!¡± ¡°Ah? The comment above is too ridiculous! How could the bones of a ferocious beast scare off those alpha wolves without the blessings of the Father? The commenter must have been jealous and fabricated this lie!¡± ¡°¡­¡± What they did not know was that Chris put these ferocious beast parts in the trading platform because he had nowhere to store them. Chapter 26 Chapter 26: White Lion King with Fire Element! After Chris put the ferocious beast parts on the trading platform, the entire chat group erupted. More than a thousand people looked at the ferocious beast meat in the trading platform and felt envious. Now, almost no one in the thousand-plus people wanted to go hunting for food. From the looks of it, they only needed to obtain resources like wood and stone to exchange them for ferocious beast meat. Who would want to go hunting with such an easy option before them? Even if they were to go hunting, they would not gain any EXP at all since they did not have their own weapons, and those small animals they hunted would at most be enough for one meal. There was even the danger to their lives if they encountered monsters like ferocious beasts! So, with Chris in the group, why would they go hunting for nothing? Chris took a look at the market. His expression did not change. He was also curious. After such a long time, how much prey would Whitey bring for him? ******* * Every time he put items in the trading platform, it would cause a commotion. Chris even felt bored of watching this. However, right at this moment, a lion¡¯s roar shook the ground. Chris and River turned serious. ¡°Sir, there¡¯s a bronze-level dire beast ahead.¡± River looked into the distance and saw a huge snow-white lion walking towards them. It was obvious from its fur that it was definitely a noble amongst lions! It could even be said to be of a royal lineage! Chris naturally saw it too. Just as he was wondering why this white lion had appeared, he suddenly saw the corpses of various ferocious lions not far away. He immediately understood. This lion was here to take revenge on them! Seeing that they had been picking up the corpses of its companions, it was obvious to it that they were with the dragon that had attacked them! Roar! River did not show any fear in the face of the Lion King¡¯s fury. After all, the current her was much stronger than before. ¡°After walking for such a long time, I have finally encountered a prey!¡± Chris looked at the distant Lion King, who was walking towards him. There was no fear on his face. Instead, he felt excited! After walking for nearly two hours, they finally encountered a prey! When the lion walked closer, Chris saw its character panel. White Lion King Potential: Level 2 Level: Peak Dark Iron Strength: 750 Speed: 120 Soul: 150 Element: Fire Skill: Potential Stimulation (Peak Dark Iron. After using the skill, it increases 300% of the user¡¯s Strength for five minutes! After using it, the user¡¯s stamina will rapidly deplete.) Fire Spellbook Danger Level: Extremely dangerous dire beast! Recommended for the host to escape! Every attack is extremely fatal! Chris frowned when he saw the information regarding the White Lion King. From the looks of it now, his strength was still lacking. When facing this kind of dire beast, he still had no room to fight back. However, the prey this time actually had elements! Moreover, after killing this dire beast and accumulating ten fire elements, he would be able to learn magic! Also, these skills made Chris¡¯s heart itch. Perhaps after killing the White Lion King this time, his strength would also be greatly increased! At this moment, River took a step forward. A broken rune sword appeared in her hand. ¡°Sir, please step back. I¡¯ll destroy it.¡± River, who had reached the Bronze rank, could basically crush all the ferocious beasts. Now, a Bronze rank dire beast had finally arrived! When the White Lion King saw the broken rune sword in River¡¯s hand, it slowly stopped. It seemed like it was also very afraid of River¡¯s broken sword! River¡¯s gaze turned solemn. ¡°Die.¡± As soon as the sound landed, there was a whoosh and a huge magical wave appeared. Countless rune fragments gathered together and a dazzling light illuminated the surroundings. The ground that River treaded on began to crack! In the next second, River appeared a hundred meters ahead, in front of the White Lion King. The White Lion King was not to be outdone either. When it came to speed, it had never been afraid of anyone! However, when the huge palm of the White Lion King slammed down, River reacted and slashed at the White Lion King¡¯s body! After the rune sword was condensed, although it was huge and the length of the sword was as long as River¡¯s body, it did not affect River¡¯s speed! On the contrary, after the Rune Sword was forcefully gathered by mana, Chris could feel that River¡¯s strength had greatly increased! This strike directly dyed the lion king¡¯s snow white fur a smear of red! Roar! With a miserable cry, the White Lion King did not fall. Instead, it continued to attack the human who had offended it. Humans were nothing but prey in its eyes. Now, a human actually dared to be so impudent in front of it! Moreover, she even injured it! Fury drove the White Lion King. However, a smile appeared on River¡¯s face who had moved below the White Lion King¡¯s stomach. River had been the chief swordsman of the Empire. In terms of combat experience, she was definitely considered to be at the top! Everything was within her control! The eyes of the Lion King quickly enlarged as a powerful energy gathered on the Rune Sword of River. The powerful magic power caused the surrounding air to become restless. A sharp slash was swung out. At a distance that was almost close to the lion¡¯s face, she used Gale Slash! Even the White Lion King, who was known for its speed, could not dodge this attack! It was split into two with an incredulous expression on its face! All life would be lost wherever the Gale Slash passed, let alone a dire beast. The Gale Slash did not last long. After the surroundings calmed down, Chris saw that the White Lion King had fallen. A notification appeared before Chris. [Peak Dark Iron Dire Beast, White Lion King, can be dissected!] Chapter 27 Chapter 27: Rare Quality Fire Elements! When Chris saw this, he used the dissection without any hesitation. [Congratulations, you have successfully dissected the dire beast, White Lion King!] [Congratulations, you have obtained 720kg of White Lion King¡¯s meat! (After consuming it, strength and speed below 100 points will be greatly increased! Strength and speed above 100 points will be increased by a medium degree!)] [Congratulations, you have obtained a dire beast¡¯s bone! It can be used to refine Dark Iron-grade weapons!] [Congratulations, you have obtained a dire beast¡¯s core! After consuming it, mana increases for a short period of time!] [Congratulations, you have obtained a White Lion King¡¯s hide. After it is made into a protective gear, it has some concealment effect in snowy terrain. It will be able to withstand a full-power strike from a ferocious beast!] Was this the reward for killing the White Lion King? Chris couldn¡¯t help but feel excited upon seeing this. However, where did the Fire Magic Book and Potential Stimulation Skill Book go? Could it be that there was something like a drop rate here? Chris frowned. Did the Heavens have something against me? At that moment, a prompt appeared before Chris. ¡°Ding! Congratulations, your follower, River, has killed a peak dark iron-grade dire beast! Obtained 350 EXP, obtained Skill Book Potential Stimulation! One Fire Spellbook! One Fire Element! (Can unlock Fire Magic After Obtaining 10 Fire Elements!)¡± Chris looked at the spoils of war he had obtained this time. Obtaining a fire element was acceptable. Seeing the fire spellbook, Chris was a little excited. Although it was only a low-level spellbook, it was better to learn it. Besides, there was also a skill book that could be used. After all, if he could learn fire magic, his combat power would be greatly enhanced! He believed that as long as he hunted some prey with fire elements, he should be able to unlock fire magic. When Chris opened the fire spellbook, a notification popped up. [If you want to learn fire magic, please gather 10 fire elements first! You currently have: 1. You require 9 more! You need 50 mana!] Chris felt conflicted. It seemed that learning fire magic was not that simple. ¡°There¡¯s only one fire element. It seems that our luck isn¡¯t very good. Speaking of which, River, do you have any understanding of elements?¡± At the same time, Chris was also wary of something, so he asked what was on his mind. ¡°If I unlock the fire element¡¯s magic, will I be unable to learn other magic?¡± After all, while the fire element was good, it wasn¡¯t Chris¡¯s favorite. Moreover, since it was in the online game world, it was very likely that there was more than one type of magic. At the very least, Chris didn¡¯t know what kind of magic River¡¯s Rune Sword was based on. However, one thing was certain. The magic that River had learned must be related to wind. That was why Chris had such thoughts. And as a member of this world, she would definitely have gained an understanding of magic. Chris looked at River beside him and asked. If he learned fire magic and could not learn other magic, Chris would rather not learn it. After all, there was still so much powerful magic to learn. Hearing Chris¡¯s question, River chuckled and replied, ¡°Sir, you¡¯re thinking too much. However, there¡¯s nothing wrong with what you¡¯re thinking. In my opinion, it¡¯s best for everyone to study only one type of magic in their lifetime.¡± ¡°At least in our world, it¡¯s more practical to master one type of magic than to learn multiple kinds of magic. Although I master the power of the wind, I can also learn other magic. However, if I were to learn other magic, my speed wouldn¡¯t be so fast.¡± After hearing River¡¯s explanation, Chris understood. However, since he knew that he could learn other magic as well, he did not have to worry about it. ¡°Speaking of which, River, do you know anything about fire elements? I¡¯m nine short of unlocking fire magic.¡± He was not in a hurry to find Whitey, but to find the so-called fire elements. It was not easy to obtain fire elements from killing dire beasts. There must be another way to obtain the fire element, right? Faced with Chris¡¯s question, River simply sat on the ground and began to think. ¡°Mm. If it¡¯s a fire element, then it doesn¡¯t necessarily have to be obtained by hunting dire beasts. It is possible to obtain it in some special areas.¡± ¡°For example, some hot places produce fire elements, such as volcanoes or desert areas. Among them, fire elements of higher quality can be found in the volcanoes and can unlock more powerful magic. This kind of fire element is better than those obtained from hunting dire beasts.¡± ¡°If I remember correctly, Sir, you should have a way to communicate with others. Why don¡¯t you ask those people if they have fire elements? If I¡¯m not wrong, some people should have appeared near these places¡­¡± Chris¡¯s eyes lit up. River¡¯s words had opened a new door for him. The fire element did not have to be obtained by hunting dire beasts! Furthermore, there would always be some lucky people who obtained these fire elements in their own territory! However, what should he use in exchange? Those people must know the importance of the fire element, right? Just as Chris was thinking this, River spoke. ¡°Under the premise that there is no fire spellbook, most people should not know the rarity of fire elements, unless that person¡¯s follower also has fire magic.¡± ¡°So, in their eyes, the fire element is probably just a ball of flame without any heat.¡± River¡¯s explanation brought a crooked smile to Chris¡¯s face. Good lord, if that was the case, wouldn¡¯t he be able to gain something without risking anything of his own? And here he was thinking of how to deal with so much ferocious beast meat and bones. Chris thought about it carefully. He was sure he had enough resources. He just wanted to see if any fool would try to buy what he had. Hence, When Chris placed his items on the trading platform, the entire chat group was in an uproar! [A fire element can be exchanged for a beast bone.] [A fire element can be exchanged for 50kg of ferocious beast meat.] [A fire element can be exchanged for a ferocious beast skin!] [¡­] Everyone in the chat group was shocked by this scene! Chapter 28 Chapter 28: Trading Fire Elements! In the chat group. Tom: ¡°What is the fire element? Is Father Hamel going to advance again? It¡¯s obvious that the fire element can be used to learn magic!¡± Jerry: ¡°I don¡¯t think so, Tom. Can ordinary people in this world learn magic? I think it might be that Father Hamel is about to upgrade to LV4 base soon, so he needs some fire elements!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°I have to say, working feels really good! Although my three barbarians can¡¯t compare to Father Hamel in hunting, I¡¯m definitely number one in this group in terms of cutting trees and mining! Look at the ferocious beast meat I just exchanged for! How fragrant!¡± Arthur: ¡°Ah? Alexander the Great, weren¡¯t you going against the Father? Why are you cutting trees now? Haven¡¯t you been hunting lambs?¡± Anna: ¡°After all, if we can obtain supplies by cutting trees, who would be willing to risk their lives to provoke those monsters? I think that the fire element is very likely to be specific to some places. If there is, I hope we can share it!¡± Arthur was excited. A specific place? Fire element? Although he didn¡¯t know what fire element was, he immediately realized what Anna meant. If it can be obtained from certain places, then he had a great chance. He had been assigned near a raging volcano! Arthur looked at the summoned swordsman and a white-haired old man. Although this old man¡¯s combat strength was not strong and he did not know how to use his weapon, from the introduction, this old man seemed to know quite a lot. If it was something like the fire element, he should know about it, right? Arthur asked the old man. ¡°Seck, since you know a lot of things about this world, do you know anything about fire elements?¡± Seck was the old man¡¯s name. However, Seck only shook his head when he heard this. He was not skilled in magic. ¡°I¡¯ve only heard of fire elements before. They are born in volcanoes or deserts where the temperature is high all year round, or in the bodies of dire beasts. Fire elements are not like ordinary flames. They are energy without any temperature and do not hurt people.¡± ¡°In addition, some wild beasts living near volcanoes can also extract fire elements.¡± After Seck finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to rest. He felt a headache coming on. He did know a lot about the history of this world, but he knew very little about magic. However, Arthur was excited. If the fire elements could be found near a volcano, then wasn¡¯t it on his doorstep? Previously, after seeing the resources of Father Hamel, Arthur had been going to a place far away from the volcano to cut down trees and extract stone. Now, he only needed one fire element to obtain so much ferocious beast meat! He could even get more if he found more! Arthur walked out of the building. The place he was at was near a volcano. It was extremely hot, and the fighting strength of the lambs here was also very strong. If Arthur wasn¡¯t physically strong, he would have died already. Arthur began to think after leaving his base. A flame without heat. Did it really exist? It was almost impossible for such a situation to happen in a place like the volcano, right? However, the things that fire elements could exchange for were too abundant for him! If there was a fire element here, he would definitely trade it! After a while, Arthur saw a notification on the coiling pathway around the volcano! [There is a fire element in front.] Arthur was extremely excited! Just one fire element was enough to exchange for the bone of a ferocious beast! There weren¡¯t many ferocious beasts in his area, so a ferocious beast bone would be a good protection for him! With this thought in mind, Arthur came to the coiling pathway. [There are 8 fire elements in this area. Do you want to excavate all of them?] [Note: If all of them are extracted, the volcano will disappear and all the wild beasts will return to normal!] Arthur was shocked. ¡°Sure enough, it was this volcano that made the monsters here so strong¡­¡± But Arthur hadn¡¯t expected that such a huge volcano only had eight fire elements! Father Hamel had only put up the request for nine fire elements. Arthur looked at the red lambs walking beside the volcano. He took out his sword. ¡°Since Seck said that the wild beasts here can also contain fire elements, I suppose these lambs can also provide fire elements for me?¡± However, after killing one after another lamb, Arthur still did not obtain the fire element. It was not until the tenth one that he finally obtained a fire element! Initially, Arthur wanted to obtain more fire elements through the lamb, but he gave up on the idea after seeing the low probability. If the others were also searching around a volcano and they exchanged all of Father Hamel¡¯s things, wouldn¡¯t he lose everything? With that in mind, Arthur went to the location of the fire elements. [Do you want to extract the fire elements?] Arthur didn¡¯t hesitate. ¡°Begin extracting fire elements!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the fire element was extracted. At the same time, a warm current nourished his body. In just a while, eight fire elements appeared in Arthur¡¯s bag. At the same time, the volcano that had been erupting with flames stopped. The volcano and lava gradually disappeared. The red-furred lambs gradually returned to normal, and were no longer as aggressive as before. Arthur opened the trading platform and saw the order Father Hamel had issued¡­ ¡°Hahaha! This time, I must exchange for Father Hamel¡¯s rewards!¡± On the other side, Chris and River waited for almost three hours. Suddenly, a message box appeared in front of him. [Congratulations, you have obtained nine fire elements through the trading platform!] Chapter 29 Chapter 29: Learning Fire Magic! [Congratulations, you have used up two ferocious beast hearts to exchange for two fire elements!] [Congratulations, you have used 100kg of ferocious beast meat to exchange for two fire elements!] [Congratulations, you used a ferocious beast skin to exchange for a fire element!] [Congratulations, you have used a beast bone to exchange for a fire element!] [¡­] Chris looked at the notifications with joy. When Chris opened his backpack, he was even more shocked! Out of the nine fire elements, eight were of rare quality! ¡°Wow! Eight rare fire elements!¡± Chris couldn¡¯t contain his excitement anymore. Beside him, River also looked over in surprise, unable to believe this scene. ¡°Sir, as far as I know, rare fire elements can only be obtained in the hot areas of those raging volcanoes. Furthermore, a hundred-year-old volcano might not produce a single rare fire element. If eight of them appear at once, it would have to be at least a thousand-year-old volcano!¡± Chris got even more excited when he heard River. ¡°You mean someone extracted a thousand-year-old volcano to trade with me, River?¡± Chris asked in disbelief. A thousand-year volcano was used to exchange for the meat of ferocious beasts! This was too exaggerated! ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. Other than that, there shouldn¡¯t be any other possibilities. And if I¡¯m not wrong, it should be sent by one person.¡± Chris started to check the transaction order records. As expected, the buyer was only one person, Arthur. ¡°River, you¡¯re right!¡± Chris confirmed Arthur¡¯s name immediately. He had heard of Arthur before as the latter was quite active in the chat group. However, Chris did not expect him to survive in the harsh environment of a volcano! He had even used a thousand-year-old volcano to trade for the corpse of a ferocious beast! Resource-rich areas like volcanoes were extremely rare! For instance, Chris¡¯ side was just a plain. Other than the large number of ferocious beasts and wild beasts, there was not even any wood! Volcano was different. According to what River had described to him previously, a volcano could continuously produce a fire element. Moreover, fire elements could be cultivated to a rare level! Now, Arthur had given up this invaluable resource for basically nothing! ¡°Sir, in my opinion, we don¡¯t need to look for Whitey now. You can comprehend fire magic here first. After you master fire magic, we can look for Whitey.¡± ¡°I need 50 mana, but I only have 20 now.¡± As he spoke, Chris opened his character panel. Name: Chris Race: Human Base Level: LV3 Potential: Level 1 Strength: 78 (1 Strength= 10KG) Speed: 67 Soul: 11 Mana: 20 / 20 Magic: Unlearned Skill: Corpse Dissection Population: 5/10 Buildings: Base Lv3 Item: Dire Beast Core, Dire Beast Bone, Dire Beast Meat¡­ ¡­ ¡°Sir, I remember that if you consume the core of a dire beast, it can increase your mana to a certain extent.¡± ¡°The increase is only for a short period, but the core of the dire beast can increase the mana to a very high level within this short time. The higher the mana, the earlier one can comprehend magic, and the stronger the magic that one can learn for the first time.¡± ¡°And often, the first time you learn magic will lay the foundation for the future path of magic.¡± At River¡¯s words, Chris began to think. Initially, he planned to return home after finding Whitey and consume the remaining witch potion. After all, his mana hadn¡¯t reached the level for magic training. Chris didn¡¯t think too much about it. He took out the dire beast core and opened the fire spellbook. Could this squirming beast core really provide 30 mana for him? One witch potion only provided Chris with 10 mana points. How much mana could a dire beast core increase? If he wanted to enter the path of magic, he definitely could not miss this opportunity! River, who was at the side, also understood and began to guard Chris. In the chat group. One person suddenly became famous in the chat group. ¡°What the f*ck! Who was it?! They exchanged all of Father Hamel¡¯s ferocious beast parts! Also, what is the fire element? I¡¯m near the sea, and I have some water and earth elements. Can I exchange them for some ferocious beast meat?¡± ¡°If I didn¡¯t calculate wrong, you would need at least nine fire elements to exchange for all of those items Father Hamel put up earlier! I have never even seen nine fire elements, how did that person obtain them?¡± ¡°Who was it that exchanged for so much ferocious beast meat and bones? It wasn¡¯t easy for me to find a fire element here, and before I could exchange for the meat, it was all exchanged by that person!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The entire chat group was shocked by the scene of the inventory being emptied. There was only one possibility for the inventory to be emptied at once. It was very likely that the person who bought all the items was the same person! Tom: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that someone would be able to exchange for so much of Father¡¯s stock. It seems like the bone in my hands will start giving off a stench in a few days!¡± Jerry: ¡°The same, but fortunately, the bone can last me for a while. Also, I should be able to eat the meat exchanged from Father Hamel for another day or two!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°Workers are the best! My three Barbarians were raised by the Father! I have to say, the meat of the ferocious beast is really delicious!¡± Arthur: ¡°You may not believe me, but I exchanged all nine fire elements myself.¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, Arthur posted a picture that caused a sensation in the chat group! Chapter 30 Chapter 30: Exchanging an Inexhaustible Mine for Just These? Arthur excitedly uploaded the photo of the ferocious beast parts he had exchanged for in the chat group. The chat group was in an uproar! Thor, the God of Thunder: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect there to be so many fire elements in Arthur¡¯s side. If only I could find fire elements in this desert. There are only monsters here. I¡¯ve never seen fire elements before!¡± Jerry: ¡°Thor, you may not know, but my follower is a wise man. He told me that the fire elements can be found in the desert. If you look carefully, you will definitely find it!¡± Tom: ¡°Ah? It¡¯s different on my side. My side is a plain. I want to know where Arthur obtained so many fire elements. If I¡¯m not wrong, these fire elements were exchanged by Arthur, right?¡± Anna: ¡°My followers know a lot about magic. Fire elements are divided into different levels. The places with dense amounts of fire energy can produce rarer fire elements. But some places don¡¯t have much fire element. What¡¯s Arthur¡¯s environment like?¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°I have a snow mountain here, and you¡¯re telling me that there are elements here? To be honest, if I have elements here, I definitely won¡¯t exchange them with Father Hamel. After all, these things should be quite expensive, but the things Father Hamel gives should be quite good too!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Arthur was delighted to see so many envious words, especially when he saw his sumptuous supplies. He felt much better! Before this, he had only relied on the weapon of his first follower to hunt. To him, this method was simply too low level. Moreover, the bone of a ferocious beast was able to deter existences below them. It wouldn¡¯t be long before he could use this bone and his own strength to rise in this world. Arthur was delighted. Hence, he posted his environment in the chat group and added a picture. Arthur: ¡°This is where I was previously. If not for this volcano, those lambs would not be so powerful. They were much stronger than the wolves and bulls.¡± Arthur: ¡°Now the volcano is gone. It¡¯s all thanks to Father Hamel. If he hadn¡¯t said anything, I might never have been able to move the volcano away!¡± Arthur¡¯s words silenced the chat group. Good lord, they originally thought that the place they were at was already dangerous enough. Arthur lived beside a volcano. Every wild monster there was affected by the fire elements. His lambs were as strong as normal wolves! With such a terrible environment, the fire element was a burden to him! ¡°If I were Arthur, I would also use these fire elements to exchange with Father Hamel. But with so many fire elements on his side, I¡¯m sure it wasn¡¯t easy for Arthur, right? Why don¡¯t you share what you got from Father Hamel?¡± ¡°Yes! I remember Sir Arthur exchanged for two ferocious beast bones! If possible, can Sir Arthur exchange one with me? I want to be like Jerry, Tom, and Anna. I don¡¯t want to be attacked by monsters at night!¡± ¡°I feel that the bones of those ferocious beasts that Father sold must have been blessed by him! If not, how could those beasts have run away after just one look at the bone? They must have received Father Hamel¡¯s blessing!¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, the chat group was extremely noisy. Some of them even began to approach Arthur after learning that he had exchanged for two ferocious beast bones. These bones were exchanged from Father Hamel. They must be different from ordinary bones! Arthur was pleased. Not only did he remove the fire elemental bonus from the lambs, he even obtained so many things! Even if these were really used for something better by Father Hamel, what use did these fire elements have for him? That was why Arthur didn¡¯t pay attention to those jealous comments until he saw a message from Anna in the chat group. Anna: ¡°@Arthur, I just asked my follower. I learned that volcanic fire elements are extremely rare. It¡¯s even said to be the lifeline of a volcano!¡± Tom: ¡°Really? If that¡¯s the case, did Arthur make a profit or loss? Using a volcano to exchange for the meat and bones of two ferocious beasts. If it were me, I¡¯d feel like I¡¯d made a loss.¡± Jerry: ¡°However, Father will never mistreat us. Have you noticed? With the bones of a ferocious beast, we won¡¯t have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts for an entire night! In my opinion, even if we exchange a volcano for it, it¡¯s better than losing our lives or dying from exhaustion!¡± Thor, the God of Thunder: ¡°I agree with Jerry, but I just asked my follower. He doesn¡¯t know anything about magic. I don¡¯t know what the fire element is either¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Arthur began to panic at Anna¡¯s words. Was the fire element of the volcano that rare? He looked at the meat and bones he had exchanged for and felt slightly comforted. After all, he would not be able to use fire elements anyway, right? The next moment, Arthur¡¯s eyes widened! Anna: ¡°To be honest, you don¡¯t know how precious the fire element of the volcano is. Perhaps Father Hamel doesn¡¯t know either. But my follower told me that the fire element of the volcano can unlock an extremely excellent magic path!¡± Anna: ¡°Moreover, as long as the volcano still exists, it¡¯s equivalent to an endless supply of resources. It can continue to produce fire elements, but if it¡¯s extracted all at once, the volcano will disappear! So, Arthur used an inexhaustible mine to exchange for two ferocious beasts! Do you still think it¡¯s worth it?¡± Anna¡¯s information caused the entire chat group to erupt! An inexhaustible mine for two ferocious beasts! What kind of brain did Arthur have? Chapter 31 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Anna¡¯s explanation caused the entire chat group to explode! Arthur was dumbfounded. ¡°How¡­ how is this possible!¡± Arthur looked in disbelief at the message from Anna in the chat group. The volcano that he thought of as a trouble was actually a mine! ¡°Wow! Sir Arthur, you exchanged a mine with Father Hamel. Isn¡¯t this too much of a loss! If it were me, I would have discussed with Father Hamel to give me more items.¡± ¡°Eight rare fire elements and an ordinary fire element. Arthur is so generous! Father Hamel will probably never forget Arthur, right?¡± ¡°Do you think using a mine to exchange for two ferocious beasts is worth it? In any case, if it were me, I would never trade this volcano if I knew it was a mine!¡± ¡°Hey! You guys don¡¯t know, I just asked my follower. In this world, if you are near a volcano, you can have an absolute advantage even at the middle stage! Because a rare fire element can exchange for at least one demonic beast corpse in the middle stage!¡± ¡°What! In that case, did Arthur use the corpses of eight magical beasts to exchange for the corpses of two ferocious beasts? This is too ridiculous! Moreover, his volcano is gone!¡± ¡°My follower also told me that if a place has special elemental power, then the value of the elements of this place is definitely not ordinary! In the middle stages, there is even no need to do anything. All you need to do is gather the elements and you can eat and drink freely!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Arthur¡¯s blood pressure shot up. A volcano was actually so useful! Arthur: ¡°Hey! Is the fire element you¡¯re talking about really that valuable? My little lambs are comparable to your wolves, and my wolves are even more terrifying! It¡¯s all because of this volcano!¡± Arthur didn¡¯t want to believe it. After all, who would admit that they made such a big loss? However, for some reason, he still felt a trace of regret. Why didn¡¯t he keep one or two for himself? Why did he have to exchange all of them for those ferocious beast bones? Especially when Arthur learned that the ferocious beasts were at the bottom of the beast rankings, he felt extremely unbalanced! Anna: ¡°If my follower isn¡¯t wrong, although the monsters on your side are powerful, the experience points they give will also increase correspondingly. Moreover, even your ordinary lambs can give some fire elements.¡± Anna: ¡°And on the fourth or fifth day, every time you kill a beast, you can obtain the fire element and exchange it with other participants!¡± Anna: ¡°If it were me, I definitely wouldn¡¯t empty the entire volcano!¡± Arthur fell to the ground. Arthur: ¡°@Father Hamel, can I get a refund? Father Hamel, I regret this deal! Can you return the fire elements to me¡­¡± In the chat group, Arthur¡¯s mood took a 180-degree turn. Who knew that the volcano on his side was so important! Furthermore, the volcano was actually a gold mine in this world! Through Anna¡¯s explanation, he learned how valuable the volcano outside his house was! If he could get those fire elements back, would the volcano ignite again? However, at this moment, Anna gave an explanation. Anna: ¡°Actually, I suggest that you don¡¯t think about getting them back. Father Hamel might have stepped into the path of magic, but who knew that you would trade a volcano? Moreover, even if you ask for all nine fire elements back, the volcano will not ignite again.¡± Anna: ¡°All of this is because of you yourself.¡± Arthur was in despair! That¡¯s right, he had done all this voluntarily! But this was his foundation! Was this the end? On another area. After obtaining the nine fire elements, Chris entered a meditative state. About an hour later, Chris slowly opened his eyes. What greeted his eyes was a white-haired girl sitting in front of him. It was River. The moment Chris opened his eyes, River looked back at Chris and smiled. ¡°Sir, you¡¯re awake.¡± ¡°The path of magic. How is it? Did it succeed?¡± Although River¡¯s tone was extremely calm, Chris could tell from her eyes that she was more anxious than him! It was as if he was not the one cultivating magic but River! Just earlier, Chris had used ten fire elements, and because eight of them were rare volcanic fire elements, he had smoothly entered the path of magic! ¡°I have entered the path of magic, and my mana has been enhanced.¡± ¡°Thanks, River.¡± The mana increase provided by the dire beast core was long over. But compared to before, Chris¡¯s mana had been greatly enhanced! ¡°It¡¯s what I should do.¡± River bowed her head slightly. River heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. Then she stood up and looked afar. Chris opened his character panel. Name: Chris Race: Human Base Level: LV3 Strength Rating: High Dark Iron (0 / 1000) Potential: Level 1 Strength: 105 (1 = 10KG) Speed: 87 Soul: 110 Mana: 100/100 Magic: Shattered Fire (30 Mana, High Gold), Burning Fire (30 Mana, Medium Platinum) Skills: Corpse Dissection, Potential Stimulation Population: 5/10 Buildings: Base Lv3 Items: Dire Beast Heart, Witch Potion Crafting Book, Dire Beast Meat¡­ ¡­ River¡¯s gaze turned serious. Rustling sounds came from the surrounding bushes. Clearly, a huge creature was slithering on the ground! This feeling was definitely that of a dire beast! Chapter 32 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chris was delighted when he saw his stats. It was all thanks to that guy called Arthur who had exchanged eight rare fire elemental elements for the corpses of ferocious beasts. If he had known the value of these fire elements, his intestines would have turned green with regret. The most important thing now was to test how powerful his magic was! Even Chris, who had never come into contact with magic, could deeply understand what benefits these eight rare fire elements could bring him! Such a gain was very obvious. Not only did it increase the upper limit of his mana, but it also enhanced his physical strength and reaction time! Chris had already noticed the monster earlier! He looked into the bushes and saw a huge green python standing straight up, its tongue flicking out from time to time as if it had seen delicious prey. Just now, when Chris was meditating, the magic power he emitted attracted many dire beasts and ferocious beasts. The difference between a dire beast and a demonic beast was only in their understanding of magic! Therefore, every time there was a powerful magical disturbance, it would definitely attract the attention of countless dire beasts and ferocious beasts! River had been guarding Chris while he was meditating. In front of River, be it the lion ferocious beasts or dire beasts that were like a king among ferocious beasts, they were all fragile. River subconsciously took out the rune sword, and countless fragments gathered together. However, she was flustered. Because the fire magical wave that Chris had released was too strong, it had attracted many dire beasts and ferocious beasts over the past hour. After fighting against so many beasts, her mana had long been exhausted, and there were even some injuries on her body. Chris noticed all of this. Using her remaining mana to condense the rune sword was River¡¯s limit. ¡°Sir, retreat. These dire beasts can¡¯t hurt you.¡± Chris laughed. Right in front of River¡¯s disbelieving eyes, Chris stood in front of her. A lump of fire suddenly appeared in Chris¡¯ hand. ¡°Although I¡¯m your superior, I can¡¯t always hide behind.¡± Looking at Chris¡¯s back, River¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. She was sure that Chris¡¯s strength had not reached bronze level yet. However, the magic used was definitely above Gold level! Could this be the effect of the eight rare fire elements? ¡°Well¡­¡± River smiled faintly, then withdrew her remaining magic and sat on the ground. She suddenly felt relieved. Back then, she had fought for the Empire, but in the end, the Empire had betrayed her. And now, the person River was protecting was standing in front of her! A character panel appeared in front of Chris. Green Python Strength: High Dark Iron (Dire Beast) Skills: Wild Snake Dance, Poison Fang Strength Evaluation: If it strikes the host, with the host¡¯s current defense, there is no chance of survival! Note: Magic beyond the silver level can kill it! Chris only laughed coldly and looked up at the huge python in front of him. ¡°Powerful hunters often appear as prey. As a dire beast, you can never understand this.¡± The python did not understand Chris¡¯s words, but based on its instincts as a creature, the green snake knew that the human in front of it was not someone to be trifled with. Green pythons were known for their cunning. Therefore, even though it had noticed the fire elemental magic released by Chris from the start, it did not attack immediately. This was because it knew that the woman who was guarding the man was definitely not an existence it could provoke. So it waited for the other dire beasts to attack while waiting for its chance. After confirming that River¡¯s magic power was completely exhausted, it slowly moved out of the shadows. Now was the time for it to taste these two prey! But when it saw the flame in Chris¡¯ hand, it stopped. However, the pause only lasted for an instant. It could only be killed by magic above silver rank. How could some inferior magic hurt it? However, in the next second, Chris threw the flames in the direction of the green python. ¡°Burning fire.¡± The moment the green python touched the flames, it let out a hysterical cry. Its eyes were filled with disbelief because this was a magic above the gold level! Otherwise, there was no way it could have been injured! Furthermore, who would directly use their ultimate move right from the start? The green python gradually turned into ashes amidst the intense flames, and was dissected automatically. Notifications appeared in front of Chris. [Congratulations, you have killed the green python. The corpse has been automatically dissected!] [Congratulations, you have obtained Dire Beast Snake Meat! A total of 630kg!] [Congratulations, you have obtained dire beast snake skin!] [Congratulations, you have obtained Poison Fangs!] [¡­] Chris smiled when he saw this. He then looked at the corpses around him. Good lord! He had woken up to a huge harvest! ¡°One, two, three¡­¡± Just the corpses of the dire beasts alone numbered eight! Chris looked at River and helped her up. ¡°You did well, River.¡± River just nodded and didn¡¯t say anything. If she had been at her peak, she naturally wouldn¡¯t feel tired at all. However, right now, she really was too exhausted, so she couldn¡¯t reply to Chris. Chris began to dissect the corpses of the dire and ferocious beasts. [Congratulations, you have dissected a dire beast corpse and obtained 840kg of dire beast meat!] [Congratulations, you have dissected a beast corpse and obtained dire beast bones!] [Congratulations, you have dissected a beast corpse and obtained dire beast skin!] [¡­] After dissecting all the corpses, Chris had an abundant meat again! At this moment, Whitey flew back from not far away! However, it was actually holding the corpse of the beast that Chris had seen earlier. Human-faced spider! Chapter 33 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After seeing Whitey, Chris gradually relaxed. Was Whitey so powerful now? Not only had it killed the human-faced spider, but it had even captured its corpse without much injury. Chirp chirp chirp! Whitey gradually flew down, but it did not place the corpse of the human-faced spider on the ground, Chris stroked Whitey¡¯s head. [Do you want to dissect the human-faced spider?] [Yes] [No] Without any hesitation, Chris clicked yes. Chris was very curious. What could this human-faced spider dissect into? He had never seen such a powerful creature before. This must be the Boss-level creature of the newbie village, right? Moreover, after thinking about it, Chris did not want to eat spider meat. He had no appetite just from looking at it. For a moment, Chris thought about selling the corpse of the human-faced spider on the market. The system seemed to understand these things very well. The items obtained from the dissection opened Chris¡¯s eyes! That was because there was no meat obtained from the human-faced spider! [Congratulations, you have dissected the human-faced spider and obtained spider pedipalps. You can use it for equipment synthesis!] [Congratulations, you have dissected the human-faced spider and obtained the force of the human-faced spider! It is equivalent to the enhanced version of the bones of dire beasts. It can substitute for the bones of dire beasts in strengthening armors! It has a suppressive effect on creatures below peak dire beast level!] [Congratulations, you have dissected the human-faced spider and obtained spider eyes. They can be used to strengthen armors and can add certain special effects!] [Congratulations, you have dissected the human-faced spider and obtained a human-faced spider core. It can be used to enhance equipment and accessories. It can increase mana!] [¡­] Heavens! This human-faced spider had almost nothing to eat. All the parts were materials to strengthen equipment! If he obtained some armor, would he be able to directly strengthen them? When he became the first player to upgrade to LV3 base, he was awarded a divine weapon like the Obsidian Sword. If he became the first player to upgrade to Lv4 base, would he get a set of armor? Chris began to look forward to it. ¡°Whitey, River, we can go back now. You will meet new friends tomorrow.¡± River nodded and prepared to leave with Chris. However, Whitey did not show any intention to leave. Instead, it walked in front, as if it wanted to tell Chris what was ahead! But it made sense. Whitey had been gone for such a long time. It couldn¡¯t have hunted just a human-faced spider. Many dire beasts must have died in Whitey¡¯s hands! Hence, under Whitey¡¯s lead, Chris obtained another large gift bag of dire beasts! [Congratulations, you have dissected the corpse of a dire beast and obtained dire beast bones!] [Congratulations, you have dissected the corpse of a dire beast and obtained 760kg of dire beast meat!] [Congratulations, you have dissected the corpse of a dire beast and obtained a dire beast skin!] [Congratulations, you have dissected the corpse of a dire beast and obtained a dire beast heart!] [Congratulations, you have dissected the corpse of a dire beast and obtained 680kg of dire beast meat!] [¡­] Good lord, this time, with the preys hunted by Whitey and River, he had gained 15 tons of dire beast meat! However, even Whitey would find it difficult to transport fifteen tons of meat back. Therefore, Chris once again placed these dire beast meat in the trading platform. In the chat group. Previously, Arthur had used a mine to exchange for two ferocious beasts, and this had already caused an uproar in the chat group. They were all mocking Arthur¡¯s magnificent feat. ¡°Arthur is too pitiful. If it were me, I would cry to death! Even Father Hamel wouldn¡¯t return the eight fire elements to Arthur, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not eight fire elements! There are eight rare fire elements and an ordinary fire element! If I were Arthur, I would cry my eyes out!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore! Brothers, let¡¯s work together. I¡¯ll cut a tree for Father today, and tomorrow, Father will give me a portion of the meat of a ferocious beast. Who knows, I might even be able to exchange it for the bone of a ferocious beast!¡± ¡°Do you think Father Hamel will surprise us again? He must have gotten something by using the fire elements. I reckon Father Hamel will bring out something even more powerful later!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In the chat room, as everyone was discussing, a sudden message shocked everyone! Tom: ¡°Hey! Go to the trading platform and take a look. Father Hamel has released something new! Also, this doesn¡¯t seem to be a ferocious beast. It looks like a dire beast!¡± Jerry: ¡°Wow! This is a stronger existence than ferocious beasts! I didn¡¯t expect Father Hamel to kill such a monster! Father Hamel must be the savior sent by Lord Jehovah!¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°However, the price of the dire beast meat this time is still considered cheap. Compared to the previous ferocious beast meat, the beast meat this time will definitely provide us with additional strength! Wait, why does Father Hamel have 15 tons of dire beast meat!¡± Thor: ¡°15 tons of dire beast meat! There are also more than 20 dire beast bones! @Arthur, what are your thoughts now! The value of your fire elements has fallen again!¡± Arthur: ¡°I am already on the rooftop, it is quite cool here. Don¡¯t worry about me!¡± Anna: ¡°But these hearts and bones only need some elements to exchange? I¡¯m in a glacier area. Looking at Arthur¡¯s situation, I should be able to find some elements here. Jerry: ¡°Right, right! I¡¯m in the desert. I just found a fire element! Although it¡¯s not a rare quality, it should be able to be exchanged for a dire beast bone!¡± Tom: ¡°Jerry, don¡¯t speak anymore. Arthur is about to cry! I have a water element here too, but I don¡¯t know if I can exchange it for a dire beast bone! Fortunately, Father Hamel didn¡¯t request rare quality!¡± ¡°¡­¡± After putting up the beast meat on the market, Chris went home with River and Whitey. Chapter 34 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Back in the base. At the same time, several notifications appeared in Chris¡¯s mailbox. Without even looking at it, Chris knew what the notifications were. It was the resources he had exchanged for with the dire beast meat. Maybe he even got some elements! Chris couldn¡¯t wait to open his mailbox. Many information boxes appeared before him. ¡°Congratulations, you have traded 1,000kg of dire beast meat for 10,350 wood!¡± ¡°Congratulations, you have traded 1000kg of dire beast meat for 7,350 stones!¡± ¡°Congratulations, you have traded a dire beast¡¯s heart for a water element!¡± ¡°Congratulations, you have traded a dire beast bone for a fire element!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The successful trades were displayed before Chris. However, at this moment, Chris¡¯ wood and stone warehouse were already filled to capacity. Right now, more than a hundred thousand wood and stones were stuck outside and could not be transported in. However, compared to these, Chris wanted to know more about this world. From Anna¡¯s information, there was a high chance that a series of things would happen, such as the possibility of new players joining the chat. Also, Chris had to ask Master Dolan about his weapon. Until everything was clear, Chris wasn¡¯t too worried about storing his resources in the trading platform. After all, he would not lose them. Chris went straight to Dolan after reaching the base, and got straight to the point. ¡°Master Dolan, what¡¯s the difference between the summoners and the Chosen Ones of this world? From the information I received previously, I think I am the so-called Chosen One?¡± Hearing Chris¡¯s words, Dolan looked over, his weathered face beginning to show a thoughtful expression. He seemed to be interested in what Chris said. However, what Dolan said next surprised Chris. ¡°Chosen One? The player who summoned me last time was also a Chosen One.¡± Dolan looked at Chris expectantly as he spoke. Then he continued, ¡°However, in my opinion, you might not be a Chosen One, because even the Chosen Ones don¡¯t level up as quickly as you.¡± ¡°At the very least, I have never seen such speed before. That is why I believe that master¡¯s identity might be even higher than that of the Chosen One. However, I do not know for sure, so I did not mention this matter to you before.¡± Chris was shocked. An existence higher than the Chosen Ones! Chris was still wondering why Dolan hadn¡¯t told him about the Chosen Ones. It turned out that the other party had long known about the existence of the Chosen Ones. It was just that Dolan did not believe that Chris was just a Chosen One! ¡°Master Dolan, since I¡¯m not the Chosen One, do you know what will happen in the future? For example, the camp battle, and¡­¡± Chris asked about everything he learned from Anna. He had gained a lot of information and resources from just one trip. Now, he had to figure everything out. What if the connected chat groups began to fight the moment they appeared? He had to accumulate strength and think of a way to deal with it! Dolan smiled and waved his hand. ¡°I have heard of these things, but in my opinion, Master can completely upgrade your base to level 4, because the chat groups that are jointly established in each world will enter this world at the same time.¡± With that said, Dolan began to think for a moment. After a few seconds, he replied, ¡°Also, I feel that if Master can raise your strength to the peak and upgrade your base to Level 4, you can definitely become the leader of these chat groups and obtain more strength.¡± Chris felt a glimmer of anticipation when he heard Dolan¡¯s words. However, Dolan did not seem to know much about this. Or rather, he was uncertain. After all, he had only been here once. Who knew if the rules were the same? Dolan wasn¡¯t sure himself, so he couldn¡¯t give a specific answer. All of this was up to Chris to make his own choice. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have to trouble Master Dolan to help me strengthen this obsidian sword.¡± ¡°Master, do you mean that you have gathered the materials to strengthen this obsidian weapon?¡± Dolan looked at Chris in disbelief. As the best human blacksmith, Dolan¡¯s requirements for materials were extremely harsh. In particular, he needed at least ten sets of bones. This was something he had requested from Chris. ¡°Whitey, River, and I hunted some dire beasts today. We got some dire beast bones and some elements. I wonder if these will be of any help in enhancing the obsidian sword.¡± Dolan¡¯s eyes widened. Then, he saw Chris walk out the door and bring over a bag. When he opened the bag, Dolan was dumbfounded! There were not just the beast cores and dire beast bones, but also various elements! There was even a rare wind element! Rare elements could not only guide magic cultivation, but could also add a special attribute to weapons! Originally, Dolan had not wanted to tell Chris about this. After all, it was already quite good to obtain an element in this place. Who knew that Chris would obtain a rare wind element! ¡°Master! What method did you use to obtain these elements? If I¡¯m not wrong, this area should belong to the plains. There shouldn¡¯t be any elements here!¡± Dolan could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and asked directly! Previously, the participant Dolan was following was a Chosen One. However, compared to Chris, the Chosen One was worlds apart! Chapter 35 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After Chris explained everything that happened earlier, Dolan¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°In other words, you have already stepped into the path of magic?¡± Dolan was dumbfounded. The previous participant he followed was a Chosen One. But it was only on the tenth day that he barely grasped magic. Even those ordinary elements required a lot of effort to gather, let alone rare elements! Dolan was stupefied at how easily Chris had obtained them! Two ferocious beast corpses for eight rare fire elements? The corpse of a dire beast was exchanged for countless wood and stones. Furthermore, it included a rare wind element! ¡°Is a rare wind element useless?¡± Chris was puzzled. He did not know if the rare elements could enhance the weapon, he had to ask. This thing would not expire, so keeping it was not a bad thing. Dolan laughed heartily. ¡°Master! Don¡¯t worry. This obsidian sword will definitely become a powerful weapon after I strengthen it!¡± ¡°Now, you just have to upgrade your base to level 4 and everything will be easy! Also, you can consider starting to refine that Witch Potion. I believe that the upgraded crafting book will definitely increase your strength greatly!¡± Chris was excited. After handing the dire beast bones and a large pile of dire beast cores to Dolan, he prepared to leave. After Chris made and consumed the Witch Potions, the Witch Potion Crafting Book began to change. [Witch Potion Crafting Book] [Status: Already exhausted] [New potions can be unlocked after a day!] As expected! What Dolan said was true! At that moment, a neutral mechanical voice caught Chris¡¯s attention. [The wood warehouse is full. Do you want to upgrade the wood warehouse to level 3? You can upgrade the wood warehouse to level 3 with 10,000 wood.] [Lv3 wood warehouse can store 150,000 wood!] [Yes] [No] Chris selected yes. Right now, the most important thing was to increase the level of the base. Furthermore, he had already encountered dire beasts today. Who knew if even more powerful existences would appear tonight? At least, Chris had yet to experience the so-called Berserk Night. However, since he knew of it, he had to make some preparations. He planned to upgrade his base to Level 4 before night! Soon, the wood warehouse in front of Chris began to undergo intense changes. However, this time, there was no change in the size of the warehouse. Chris, who had already entered the path of magic, could feel a powerful magical energy from the warehouse. The ten thousand wood stored in the warehouse were used up. Magic energy wreaked havoc in the wood warehouse. It gradually subsided after a long while. Chris looked at the wood warehouse in front of him. On the surface, there were some star symbols, and Chris could feel a magical power coming from them. If he was not wrong, the wood warehouse would use magic to store! At the thought of this, Chris began to feel excited. This kind of magic was obvious. It was likely related to space! Space element was Chris¡¯s favorite element in fantasy novels! Now that the wood warehouse had such a change, it meant that there was more than one type of elemental magic in this world. It was not impossible to learn this spatial magic! All of this required him to increase the level of his base. Sooner or later, Chris would learn such powerful magic! After successfully upgrading the wood warehouse to level 3, Chris extracted the wood and stones he obtained from the trading platform. Just then, a mechanical voice sounded in Chris¡¯ mind. ¡°Congratulations, you have extracted 146054 wood from the trading platform!¡± ¡°The current wood has met the upgrade requirement of the Level 4 base. Please accumulate stones as soon as possible!¡± Chris was getting more and more excited. Today, he would definitely upgrade his base to LV4! ¡°In that case, it¡¯s time for the stone warehouse.¡± [Do you want to use 10,000 stones to upgrade the stone warehouse?] [Yes] [No] Seeing this, Chris chose yes without hesitation. This time. Chris stared at the stone warehouse without blinking. He was very much looking forward to experiencing and comprehending this spatial magic. There was a commotion in the stone warehouse. Compared to the previous wood storehouse, the magic storm in the stone storehouse was more intense. Chris could clearly feel the impact of the magic! After a few seconds, when the magic storm stopped, Chris looked at the stone warehouse with joy in his eyes! ¡°I should be able to upgrade the base to Level 4 now.¡± But before that, Chris remembered what the chat records about the Berserk Night. He should enhance the sturdiness and area of the defense wall. However, this time, there was no option regarding the upgrade of the defense wall¡­ Would the defense wall upgrade with the base? As expected, a notification appeared before him. [Do you want to use 130,000 wood and 130,000 stones to upgrade your base to LV4?] [Remarks: The 130,000 wood and stones will upgrade the defense wall along with the base!] [Do you want to upgrade?] [Yes] [No] Without any hesitation, Chris chose yes. Regardless of whether the system forced him to upgrade the defense wall or not, Chris would still choose to upgrade it. After all, the effect of the defense wall could be seen from how effective it was last night. Countless beasts were unable to break through the wall. Once it reached level 3, its hardness could be imagined! Hence, after Chris upgraded the base, the chat group exploded! Chapter 36 After Chris upgraded his base to level 4, the entire chat group was shaken! Anna read this notification in disbelief! ¡°Two levels in a day!¡± Her follower Kurt looked at Anna, shocked. ¡°You¡¯re saying that he leveled up two times in a day?!¡± When Kurt said this, his face was filled with shock and panic. It was as if he had seen a disaster! Most importantly, Kurt had also stayed in this world for a period of time before. He had never imagined that someone could upgrade their base to level 4 on the second day! This speed was too terrifying! Kurt quickly shouted to Anna, ¡°Hurry, even if we have to use these ferocious beast meat, we have to exchange for enough wood and stone! We have to construct the defense wall!¡± Hearing Kurt¡¯s anxious words, Anna was at a loss for what to do. It was the first time she had seen Kurt showing such a panicked expression. This was because after a person reached level 4, there would be a tremendous change! Furthermore, there would not only be some wild beasts appearing at night! In fact, there might even be dire beasts! At that time, without the protection of the defense walls, everyone would be in a dangerous situation! In the chat group. Tom: ¡°Wow! How is this possible! Father Hamel has already upgraded his base to LV4! Isn¡¯t this speed of upgrade a little too fast!¡± Jerry: ¡°As expected of Father Hamel. He can actually level up twice in one day! Why aren¡¯t those people, who thought Father Hamel was incapable, talking anymore? Right, I am talking about those pretentious guys!¡± Arthur: ¡°I spoke to Father Hamel earlier. He was willing to compensate me with a dire beast bone, but I still feel uncomfortable! However, Father Hamel is forever a god!¡± Thor the God of Thunder: ¡°Sigh, I didn¡¯t expect Father Hamel to have already reached this level. It seems like it will be quite difficult for me to catch up to Father Hamel. If only I had Father Hamel¡¯s strength.¡± Alexander the Great: ¡°Huh? Speaking of which, why are there so many people in our group? Does anyone know how these new people appeared?¡± Alexander the Great¡¯s words attracted everyone¡¯s attention. At this moment, they realized that their chat group of 2,000 people limit had inexplicably become a chat group of 20,000 people limit!. Snow Wolf C: ¡°Where is this place? Why am I here? Fortunately, I don¡¯t think anyone in our group has fallen behind!¡± Sun God Apollo: ¡°Who pulled me into this group? Do you know how dangerous this world is? Since you pulled me here, you better have a good reason or don¡¯t let me see you!¡± Elsie: ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why has my 2,000 people limit chat group suddenly become 20,000? And that Father Hamel you were talking about, who is he? Can someone explain?¡± At this moment, a message was broadcast to everyone. It shocked these new people. ¡°As the participant, Father Hamel, became the first participant to upgrade his base to LV4 in this world, all the chat groups have been merged!¡± ¡°All participants, please enjoy your current life!¡± Upon hearing this broadcast, everyone was dumbfounded! Someone had already reached the level 4 base! Snow Wolf C: ¡°How is this possible! I just reached LV3 base! According to what I know, if I want to reach LV4 base, I will need to spend over 100,000 wood and stones! Who exactly is it that could directly upgrade to LV4 base on the second day!¡± Sun God Apollo: ¡°This must be fake! This Father Hamel, do you dare to say anything? I highly suspect that you are a cheat employed by this world! It¡¯s only been two days, how can you reach level 4!¡± Elsie: ¡°Someone can actually reach level 4 so soon! It seems like the Chosen One in this chat group must be very powerful. You guys, stop pretending. Anyone who can reach level 3 by now must be a Chosen One. This Father Hamel might be a stronger Chosen One!¡± Hearing Elsie¡¯s words, all the new members were shocked! They were among the top few people in their chat group! Moreover, some people had confirmed their identity as Chosen Ones! However, the Chosen One in this chat group had refreshed their worldviews! Someone could level up their base to Level 4 on the second day! Who was this person! Suddenly, a mechanical voice interrupted everyone. ¡°Because Father Hamel is the first participant in this world to reach LV4 base, he will be the leader of this chat group!¡± ¡°And the group leader will be given some special authority!¡± Everyone¡¯s minds went blank when they heard this news. It was one thing to pull them into a group, but they even had to be controlled! Among them, the Chosen Ones were even more unwilling! They could have done whatever they wanted in their own group! At this moment, Chris had upgraded his base to Level 4 and the defense walls to Level 3. Tonight, even the most terrifying dire beast could not break through his defense! However, at that moment, a notification box suddenly appeared in front of him. ¡°Congratulations on becoming the first participant to upgrade to LV4 base. Your identity will be promoted to the group leader!¡± ¡°17530 people have joined, the group leader has certain privileges!¡± Chris¡¯s eyes widened when he saw the notifications. After upgrading to level 4, he had even obtained the position of group leader! What privileges did the group leader have? Chris did not know, but he believed that it must have authority that the other members did not have. Thus, Chris opened his interface. A shocking thing happened. Chris could actually check all the members¡¯ stats panel and followers! Chapter 37 After obtaining the authority over the group, Chris began to flip through the information of the new members. Snow Wolf C: LV3 base. Followers: War Snow Wolf, Time Sage¡­ Strength: Medium Dark Iron Description: He was a special forces soldier in his original world. His physique was quite strong, and after consuming the hearts of wild beasts and ferocious beasts, his strength increased by several times! Chris nodded slightly. A special forces soldier indeed had a unique advantage in this world. Moreover, his summoned creatures seemed to be very powerful. He should be one of the Chosen Ones. As for the others, Chris was also checking them. After a round of confirmation, Chris also found out how many chat groups had joined this time. A total of nine! Chris found a total of nine Chosen Ones as well, which were the more outstanding participants. At this moment, the chat group was in a mess because of the new members. Alexander the Great: ¡°You might not believe it, but Father Hamel had a private chat with me. I¡¯m his underling now. If anyone wants to follow Father Hamel, please come here to register!¡± Jerry: ¡°Don¡¯t listen to that nonsense upstairs. I have Father Hamel¡¯s exclusive certification! Do you see this dire beast bone? Father Hamel gave it to me! This is the evidence!¡± Tom: ¡°Who doesn¡¯t have a dire beast bone! Don¡¯t even talk about it. Did you trade for it with elements! I traded for it with a rare wind element!¡± Thor: ¡°Thanks to Anna¡¯s reminder, I also found the elements that I can exchange for. Father Hamel should be appearing soon.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Suddenly, a system alert appeared on the group chat. ¡°Honorable LV4 participant, Father Hamel has entered the chat!¡± Seeing this alert, countless people began to cheer. The new members of the chat group naturally did not know how powerful Father Hamel was. After all, they were previously ruled by other Chosen Ones. The next second, the noisy comments suddenly stopped. ¡°Father Hamel has activated all mute!¡± When Snow Wolf C and the other Chosen Ones saw this scene, they were a little uneasy. They had been characters who could do everything they liked back in their chat group. Now, they were actually being muted by a new dictator. No one would feel good! On the other hand, they were also curious about Father Hamel, who was able to become the leader of the groups. What kind of strength did he have? Also, earlier, Tom and Jerry, as well as the other members of Father Hamel, had actually said that Father Hamel was selling the bones of dire beasts here? They had all heard of the bones of dire beasts, but it was not something they could kill at this time. That was why many people believed that this was actually just a cover to intimidate them. Father Hamel: ¡°Dear new friends, our group chat has expanded to over 18,000 people. I hope that you can adapt to the environment here.¡± Father Hamel: ¡°In this chat group, there is an appropriate price for each item. If you want to exchange for dire beast meat and bones, you can check them on the trading platform.¡± Father Hamel: ¡°Lastly, there are still seven tons of dire beast meat left to be processed in the market. If there are any members who want it, you can go to the trading platform to check!¡± When the last sentence was posted, all the new members were shocked. They had all heard of the existence of dire beasts. Dire beasts were not existences they could touch! However, Father Hamel was selling as much as seven tons of dire beast meat! Therefore, some of the doubtful members opened the trading platform. All the trading platforms were gathered together, so the items in each chat group could be seen. However, the most eye-catching items were none other than those listed at the top! Any element could be exchanged for a dire beast bone. There were a total of ten dire beast bones in the trading platform! This showed how strong Father Hamel was! There was even a total of seven tons of dire beast meat! This scene made all the new members of the chat group lose their cool! Sun God Apollo: ¡°Oh My God! This is dire beast meat! The blood-colored lion king I summoned can¡¯t even be compared to these monsters. Father Hamel can actually kill these terrifying existences! What kind of existence is he!¡± Snow Wolf C: ¡°I thought that I was already very strong, but there is always someone better. In this world, there is actually someone who killed an existence like a dire beast before me! Looks like Father Hamel is prepared to lead us to a good life!¡± Elsie: ¡°Speaking of which, there were a few people who said that they wanted us to join the side of Father Hamel. Let me say something, if possible, I want to establish a connection with this Father Hamel. Don¡¯t worry, there will be many benefits for you!¡± ¡°¡­¡± When all the new members of the chat group saw Father Hamel¡¯s strength, they expressed their submission. After all, the difference in their strength was too great! With their current strength, they could at most kill some ferocious beasts! As for those terrifying dire beasts, they were not in their consideration at all! This Father Hamel not only upgraded his base to level 4, but also killed such terrifying existences! It was definitely not a bad thing to cozy up to such a big shot! After giving his instructions, Chris exited the chat group and returned to his base. Now, Chris also wanted to know what kind of world rewards he would receive by upgrading his base to level 4. If he had a set of armor, the materials he obtained from the human-faced spider would be useful. While Chris was thinking, a notification appeared before him. [Congratulations, you have become the first participant to upgrade to LV4 base. You will be rewarded with an Armor Crafting Book!] Chapter 38 A crafting book appeared in front of Chris. Chris looked puzzled. Previously, he was rewarded with a weapon. Why was it a crafting book now? Moreover, this crafting book did not specify what materials were needed. He had to show these things to Dolan. The next second, another notification appeared in front of Chris. [Congratulations, you are the first participant to unlock the LV4 base. You will be rewarded with a Ring of Seal!] Seeing this, Chris couldn¡¯t wait to open the information regarding the Ring of Seal. As expected, the crafting book was not the only reward for being the first to upgrade to lv4 base. Furthermore, even if it was a crafting book, it would definitely have extraordinary effects! And now, he was given a ring as well! In terms of attributes, it was definitely not something that ordinary equipment could compare to! [Item Name: Ring of Seal] [Quality: Medium Platinum] [Description: After equipping this ring, it can increase mana and magic damage by five times! However, it requires the storage of mana. Once the mana is stored to 100%, it can be used!] [This Item can be enhanced and upgraded!] Seeing this, Chris was shocked and overjoyed! Medium Platinum-grade ring! This was almost comparable to River¡¯s broken rune sword! He had just gained knowledge about magic, and now there was suddenly a ring that could directly increase his strength. No matter who it was, they would not be able to suppress the joy in their hearts. However, he still had to understand this armor crafting book first. It just so happened that Dolan was strengthening the obsidian sword. As long as he gave this book to him, he would definitely understand! At the same time, a prompt appeared before Chris! [As you are the first participant in this world to unlock the LV4 base, you can activate the Stardust Space!] [In this space, you can use Stardust Coins to exchange for Stardust-level equipment! Or you can rent the right to use Stardust equipment!] Stardust equipment! Chris hurriedly opened the Stardust Space. When he saw the scene in the Stardust Space, Chris was stunned. What kind of sick weapons were these! Any one of them was beyond Chris¡¯s imagination! Chris opened the stats window of a sword, and his eyes widened! Item Name: Stardust Sword Quality: Stardust Damage: 145,000 Defense: 72,000 Speed: 153,000 Special Effect: Every attack has a chance to cause 100% of the maximum health points physical damage! Seeing this stardust weapon, Chris only wanted to take it immediately. This attack power and description was too ridiculous! There was a fixed chance of directly dealing 100% maximum health damage, wouldn¡¯t that be equivalent to instakilling! Chris subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. When he saw the price, he was stunned. Buying the Stardust Sword cost 100 Stardust Coins. If he rented it for a day, he would need to spend ten Stardust Coins! However, when he took a look at his stardust currency balance, [Your current stardust currency balance is: 0] He did not have a single stardust coin, and the way to obtain it was definitely not ordinary. He would have to ask Master Dolan. ¡°Master Dolan must know about the Stardust Coin. There will be no problem asking him.¡± Chris nodded. At the thought of having an armor, he walked toward Dolan¡¯s forge. After upgrading the base to level 4, the entire base had undergone a complete change. Previously, if it was a villa, it was equivalent to a small village now. Furthermore, every building was extremely luxurious! Even Master Dolan had his own smithy! Chris went to Master Dolan¡¯s smithy. There were clear sounds coming from Master Dolan¡¯s smithy. It was obvious that he was strengthening the obsidian sword. Chris pushed open the door and saw the scene inside. At this moment, Master Dolan was preparing to forge the rare wind element and the obsidian sword together, but this process was not easy. On one hand, the wind element was extremely irascible and arrogant. It actually did not fancy such a dark iron weapon at all. Wanting it to enchant this dark iron weapon was simply an insult to it! Chris could also sense this, but Dolan did not panic as if he had seen this scene countless times. ¡°Master, I am still forging this weapon. If you have any questions, you can ask directly. If this wind element escapes, there won¡¯t be a second one.¡± Chris didn¡¯t mind. He asked all his questions. ¡°Master Dolan, do you know anything about the Stardust Coins? Also, I don¡¯t know how to use this armor crafting book. I don¡¯t understand it at all.¡± Dolan did not stop hammering. He continued to try to merge the wind element and the obsidian sword. After a few seconds, Dolan replied, ¡°Master, you can put the armor book aside for now. I¡¯ve heard about Stardust Coins, but I don¡¯t know if the information is accurate.¡± Chris¡¯s interest was piqued. He could feel the power of the Stardust weapon just from the interface. However, it did not specify how he could obtain the stardust coins. But now, Dolan was telling him that he knew about the Stardust Coin. This instantly piqued Chris¡¯s interest. If he could obtain a stardust weapon, wouldn¡¯t he be able to do whatever he wanted in this world? Dolan said slowly as he hammered the obsidian sword, ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, Master should have opened the Stardust Armory. According to what I know, the Stardust Armaments are the weapons left behind by the founder Dragon King.¡± ¡°They are weapons of God. If you want to obtain the Stardust Coins, you have to complete the tasks given by the Dragon King. However, there is a drawback to the Stardust Weapon.¡± Chris was puzzled. Such a powerful weapon actually had a drawback? Chapter 39 Dolan suddenly stopped hammering. At this moment, the restless wind element had already disappeared. A cool stream of water appeared in Dolan¡¯s hand, and then the temperature of the entire smithy suddenly fell, even the obsidian sword cooled. ¡°Master might not know, but if you borrow the power of God, you will definitely suffer the backlash of God. One day, you will become God¡¯s slave.¡± ¡°In my world, Stardust weapons are not the strongest weapons. At least, I have seen them before.¡± ¡°Stardust weapons are extremely dangerous. Master needs to be careful.¡± With that, Dolan grabbed the cooled sword. This sword was no longer like the obsidian sword from before. Now, it had become a silver longsword. Just by looking at it, Chris could feel the pressure that this longsword gave off! ¡°Is this the obsidian sword that fused with the wind element?¡± Chris asked. The obsidian sword from before did not have a special effect. After comprehending magic, Chris basically did not have much use for the obsidian sword anymore. Of course, if Dolan created a sword that was more useful to him, he would use it to fight. Dolan walked toward Chris with the silver sword in both hands. ¡°Master, if you don¡¯t mind, I have given a name to this sword.¡± Chris smiled and waved his hand, expressing that he did not care about these things. On the one hand, naming was not Chris¡¯s forte. On the other hand, this silver sword could not be called the obsidian sword anymore. Chris really could not think of a name that was suitable for this sword. Seeing Chris¡¯s expression, Dolan looked up and stared into his eyes. He slowly said, ¡°I have named this sword ¡ª Tempest Sword.¡± Chris laughed heartily at the name. Tempest Sword, what a fitting name! Chris could feel the rare wind element stirring within the silver longsword. ¡°Master, do you not like this name? Master, you should name it if you don¡¯t like it.¡± Dolan didn¡¯t know what Chris¡¯ laughter meant. ¡°No need! No need! Tempest Sword, I want to see how powerful this sword is!¡± Chris received the Tempest Sword. The moment he touched it, a notification box appeared before him. Item name: Tempest Sword Quality: High Silver Strength: 450 Speed: 350 Defense: 180 Magic: 75 Durability: 7,500 Special Effect: Can Ignore 50% Defense! Special Effect: After every three attacks, you can use the Storm Slash once! (Note: The Storm Slash can create a tornado, blowing up all the ghosts or followers below Gold rank and dealing damage! Consumption: 0) When Chris saw this panel, he was stunned. It went from the quality of dark iron to silver! Was this Master Dolan¡¯s skill? Chris sighed. Especially when Chris saw the special effect of the Tempest Sword, he was overjoyed! As a mage, he would definitely need a weapon to fight when his mana was exhausted. However, the description of this Tempest Sword was completely giving an advantage to a Mage like him! He could release a tornado after every three attacks. People might think that Chris was a wind element magician. Chris was extremely excited. He wished he could find a monster and give it a try! After receiving the Tempest Sword, Chris immediately felt his body being nourished by an invisible force. ¡°Master, this Tempest Sword can provide you with some additional bonuses.¡± ¡°If I am not wrong, you should be able to fight some dire beasts with just this sword.¡± Chris subconsciously opened his character panel. Name: Chris Base Level: LV4 Strength Rating: Low Bronze Strength: 563 Speed: 240 Soul: 430 Mana: 175 / 175 Skills: Potential Stimulation, Corpse Dissection, Storm Slash Magic: Shattered Fire, Burning Fire ¡­ Chris was extremely excited when he saw the increase in his stats. Now, he just had to find a monster to test his current strength! ¡°Master should leave to try out the sword. I will take a closer look at this armor crafting book. It won¡¯t take long. The materials that Master gave me previously are enough.¡± ¡°In just ten minutes, I will be able to create the best armor for you!¡± Upon hearing Dolan¡¯s words, Chris wanted to hug the old man in front of him. How lucky was he to be able to summon a blacksmith? This man was clearly a treasure! ¡°In that case, I will have to trouble you, Master Dolan.¡± With that, Chris prepared to leave. However, at that instant, a voice appeared in everyone¡¯s minds. ¡°Night Mode has been activated. All beasts will enter Berserk Mode!¡± This alone was not enough to attract everyone¡¯s attention. Most importantly, the next announcement shocked everyone! ¡°As there is already a participant whose base has reached Level 4, the lock on the territories of the dire beasts will be removed.¡± ¡°From now on, the dire beasts will leave their territories and attack your bases. Please pay attention to your defense!¡± When this emotionless mechanical voice sounded, the entire chat group was shocked! Dire beasts were existences that they did not dare to imagine fighting. Now, they were moving out of their territories to attack the bases! How were they supposed to play this game! This was clearly a scam! Chris looked at the Tempest Sword. There was no fear on his face. He was anticipating the arrival of the preys! Chapter 40 In the chat group. ¡°Are there any dire beasts on your side? Even these beasts will be attacking this time!¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. The end of the world has come! It¡¯s too early for this chat group! Father Hamel, please protect me! God, Lord Jehovah, please protect me tonight!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all because of your Father Hamel! Why did he reach rank 4 so early? Great! So what if you have the bones of dire beasts? Can it guard against those dire beasts? Also, I reckon that even Father Hamel cannot guarantee his own safety!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s all Father Hamel¡¯s fault. Why did he upgrade his base to LV4 so early? If it weren¡¯t for him, I wouldn¡¯t have appeared in this chat! I was only prepared to fight a ferocious beast at worst tonight!¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, the chat group was in chaos. Dire beasts were simply symbols of disaster to them! Some people had personally witnessed how terrifying the strength of these calamities was! Each of them had strength in measures of tons! This was definitely not something they could deal with at the moment! Now, such beasts were actually going to appear in this Berserk Night! Alexander the Great: ¡°Fortunately, I just exchanged for a dire beast bone. Wait, you told me that this dire beast bone is useless? Then wouldn¡¯t I have wasted a water element!¡± Jerry: ¡°I believe in Father Hamel. His things can¡¯t be fake. I can definitely survive with this dire beast bone! You have to know that this is a dire beast bone that has been blessed by Father Hamel!¡± Tomcat: ¡°That¡¯s right. Father Hamel¡¯s dire beast bones are definitely not low quality stuff. He will not scam us. He must have his own plans for raising his base to level 4 today. Furthermore, he traded a dire beast bone for a water element. How could that be a scam?!¡± Arthur: ¡°Anyway, I have no choice but to believe in Father Hamel. I exchanged those two ferocious beast bones for a dire beast bone. I asked Father Hamel too. He said that this dire beast bone can definitely ensure my survival tonight! Let¡¯s not talk anymore. Brothers, I am going to sleep!¡± Snow Wolf C: ¡°You guys are thinking too optimistically! In my opinion, your Father Hamel relied on his own abilities to kill the beasts. If he can bless these bones, then is there still any law in this world? Don¡¯t live in your imagination!¡± Snow Wolf C¡¯s words resonated with the new members. This so-called Father had summoned them to a chat group and even became the chat group leader. This matter had made them feel unhappy. However, Father Hamel was indeed very powerful. He could even hunt dire beasts. Moreover, seven tons of dire beast meat were put up in the trading platform. In other words, he must be a powerful Chosen One! However, they could no longer sit still. This was because there was a high chance that a monster with strength in measures of tons would appear tonight! If that happened, everyone except Father Hamel might die here! At that time, what Father Hamel? What world? It would all be non-existent! River and Mott arrived at the smithy and found Chris. ¡°Sir, there are close to a hundred creatures outside. Whitey has already gone out. As long as you give the order, we will charge out together!¡± Mott nodded in agreement. Moreover, his strength was not something that ordinary dire beasts could withstand. In such a chaotic situation, his strength would increase even further! ¡°No need to be in a hurry.¡± At that moment, Dolan walked out of the smithy. He was holding a black armor in his hand. This armor surprised both River and Mott! ¡°As expected of Master Dolan¡¯s skill! I didn¡¯t expect an equipment to reach this level!¡± River expressed her praise for Dolan without hesitation. This was because this was the first time she had seen such an armor, even as the Empire¡¯s Swordmaster! Moreover, this armor was definitely not something that ordinary weapons could break! River could even sense that this armor had another effect! ¡°As expected of the Empire¡¯s swordsman. Did you notice my masterpiece?¡± River nodded. She could feel how different the armor was. Although it was only a set of armor, it was infused with magic and the dire beast cores! Such exquisite workmanship could only be made by the best human craftsmen! All parts of the human-faced spider¡¯s body had probably been fused into this armor by Dolan. Moreover, there were some traces of elements. This was what shocked River! No craftsman in the empire could accomplish this! As expected of a disciple of the God of Craftsmen! After hearing River¡¯s praise, Chris raised his brows. He could feel the power of the armor. Dolan looked at Chris and said slowly, ¡°If master doesn¡¯t mind, could I name this armor?¡± Chris agreed without hesitation. After all, he was simply not cut out for this. Dolan handed the dazzling black armor to Chris. ¡°I will name this armor: Blackthorn Armor.¡± Hearing this name, River and Chris were shocked! Now, they instantly understood the feeling that they had gotten from the Blackthorn Armor! Chris impatiently opened the attributes panel of the Blackthorn Armor. Item Name: Blackthorn House Damage: 75 Defense: 1250 Speed: 30 Special Effect: Every time you receive an attack, you will return 13-15% of the total damage! Equipment Skill: After activating this equipment, you will receive 30% less damage for a short period of time! Seeing these attributes, Chris was instantly dazzled! This Blackthorn Armor was simply a divine artifact!
