A moment later, Qin Feng finished extracting all the corpses.
Four corpses, plus a mutated beast, and he gained another 11 attribute points.
Not bad! Not bad!
Now, all the 3rd-tier beast corpses were fully extracted, and there was no need to continue collecting them.
Thinking this, he entered the chat channel.
The conversation was already heating up.
Gu Ming: "First-tier weapons are so useful! Haha!"
Wu Yong: "Haha! I just exchanged for a steel knife from Big Brother Qin Feng!"
"Wow! I'm really jealous of you two! When will I get a first-tier weapon?"
Wu Yong: "You just need to level up, hunt more 4th-tier beasts, and you'll be able to exchange for one!"
"Easy for you to say, big bro! The 4th-tier beasts are so strong, we level 2s can't even approach them!"
"By the way, Big Brother Gu Ming, you mentioned the Resource Duel Token—why can't you use it?"
Gu Ming: "That token can only be used by the highest level player in a village, and it's unique. Each village only gets one."
At this, the chat exploded.
"Wow! So that's how it is!"
"Haha! Now that the token is in Big Brother Qin Feng's hands, it's perfect!"
"Big Brother Qin Feng, when will you start the Resource Duel?"
"Yeah! We're looking forward to it!"
"Big Brother Qin Feng, give us a hint!"
At this moment, everyone in the chat eagerly awaited his reply.
Seeing this, Qin Feng responded.
Qin Feng: "Everyone, don't rush! It's already late at night, and I believe many of you are exhausted, not in your best condition. Let's wait until morning when everyone is well-rested and ready, then we'll start the duel!"
As soon as he said this, the others immediately agreed.
"That makes sense!"
"Big Brother Qin Feng really thinks things through!"
"Yeah! I'm already so tired. Even with roasted meat, it only restores stamina, not energy. I need a break!"
"Supporting Big Brother Qin Feng's decision! We'll rest up and be ready for tomorrow!"
"Haha! That's the way to go!"
Seeing everyone agree, Qin Feng smiled.
Unknowingly, he had established great prestige in Newbie Village No. 91, where his word was law.
In fact, his real intention was not to delay because of fatigue.
With his energy, he had long surpassed normal humans. Even if he stayed awake for three days and nights, he wouldn't feel tired.
His true goal was to first enter the most dangerous 10th-tier beast area before starting the Resource Duel.
The 10th-tier beasts were the most dangerous, but they also provided the highest energy and the quickest level-ups.
He would have the highest chance of winning!
Once he entered the 10th-tier beast area, starting the duel would save him a lot of travel time.
The journey from the 6th-tier to the 10th-tier area wasn't short!
But these true thoughts, he didn't want to share.
With that in mind, he sent another message in the chat.
Qin Feng: "From now on, stop collecting any 3rd-tier beast corpses. Only 4th-tier and 5th-tier beast corpses, as well as mutated beast corpses, will be collected."
"What?! Not even the 3rd-tier white fox corpses?"
"Aw... Qin Feng, you're way ahead of us! We can't catch up to your speed!"
"Looks like I need to level up and aim to hunt 4th-tier beasts!"
"Yeah! Let's all work hard!"
Qin Feng: "I have something special. Would you like to trade 10 pounds of roasted meat?"
At this moment, someone named Huang Longjing's avatar bounced.
Qin Feng was curious. "What is it?"
Huang Longjing: "It's some tea leaves! I had them evaluated by the system, and they turned out to be Rank 0 resources. I harvested one pound of tea leaves, and I was hoping to trade it for 10 pounds of roasted meat. What do you think?"
"Wait, what?! Tea leaves are Rank 0 resources? When I tried trading rocks and weeds, the system said they had no rank and no trading value."
"Huang Longjing, how did you know they were tea leaves? Be careful, you might have picked some poisonous leaves by mistake."
Huang Longjing: "I'm sure of it! My family grows tea on Blue Star, so I can identify it easily. I just picked some out of curiosity, and I didn't expect them to be Rank 0 resources."
Seeing this, Qin Feng's curiosity was piqued.
Rank 0 resources could still be useful.
For example, the new beginner short sword was a Rank 0 resource and still had 2 attack points.
Perhaps a pound of tea leaves could be useful in some way. It might even have an interesting effect.
At the moment, few people in the Newbie Village had the true sight ability, so most couldn't tell the effects of resources.
The trade system only evaluated the rank of a resource, not its specific function.
With that in mind, Qin Feng made a decision.
Qin Feng: "Okay! Let's trade."
Huang Longjing was delighted. "Thank you so much, Big Brother Qin Feng!"
Qin Feng: "Enter the trading channel."
Huang Longjing: "Got it!"
Soon, both of them entered the trade channel and completed the transaction.
A few minutes later, Qin Feng's storage ring had one pound of tea leaves.
He took a piece and examined it in his palm.
The tea leaves were a rich green, with a strong fragrance.
"From the looks of it, it seems like a fine tea. Wonder what it does?"
He activated his true sight ability...
Name: Tea Leaves
Rank: Rank 0 (Basic resource in Newbie Village)
Effect: Non-toxic, when brewed and drunk, it relieves thirst and fatigue, and has a refreshing effect.
"Relieves thirst and fatigue? Interesting."
Curious, Qin Feng took a bamboo cup, filled it with hot water from a stone pot, and added a few tea leaves.
After a moment, the fragrance of the tea filled the air, calming and refreshing.
He took a sip from the bamboo cup and immediately felt a pleT Nationt aftertaste.
The next moment, as the tea slid down his throat, a wave of refreshing energy surged through his body...
[Drinking hot tea successful, Energy +1]
[Drinking hot tea successful, Energy +1]
[Drinking hot tea successful, Energy +1]
...
"Wait, what's this?"
Qin Feng heard the system's notification in his mind.
At the same time, he realized that after drinking the tea, he felt especially alert.
The fatigue he had earlier was quickly fading...
So drinking hot tea could eliminate mental fatigue.
Not bad! Not bad!
This was a very useful discovery!
Qin Feng drank a few more sips of tea.
Before long, he was fully refreshed, back to peak condition.
[Announcement: Newbie Qin Feng has discovered a life hack—drinking hot tea eliminates mental fatigue. As the first person to discover this, Qin Feng is awarded 1 reputation!]
At that moment, the system announcement echoed in everyone's mind.
Everyone was stunned.
Qin Feng himself was also momentarily shocked.
But before anyone could react, another system message arrived.
[Announcement: Newbie Qin Feng's reputation has reached 10 points, earning the title 'Newbie Elite' and receiving the blessing of the system.]
[Announcement: Congratulations to Qin Feng for becoming a Newbie Elite. Strength increased by 5 points.]
[Announcement: Congratulations to Qin Feng for becoming a Newbie Elite. Agility increased by 5 points.]
[Announcement: Congratulations to Qin Feng for becoming a Newbie Elite. Constitution increased by 5 points.]
[Announcement: Congratulations to Qin Feng for becoming a Newbie Elite. Energy increased by 5 points.]
So, reputation could increase strength after all.
This was awesome!
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
In the chat, everyone was completely blown away!
"Tsk tsk!! Big Brother Qin Feng just gained 20 attribute points! His strength has risen again!"
"Wow! I didn't realize reputation could have such huge benefits!"
"I'm so jealous! Really jealous!"
"My gosh! I've noticed that Big Brother Qin Feng seems so relaxed! While everyone is struggling, he's out here discovering the benefits of roasted meat and hot tea."
"Yeah! If you didn't know any better, you'd think he was on vacation!"
"Wow! I'm so jealous!"
"I want reputation too! I want to be a Newbie Elite too! Waaah! So envious!"
At that moment, everyone was green with envy...
In the mountain gorge, Qin Feng, after his moment of joy, took out the three new beginner short swords he had collected.
In just a moment, he converted all three Rank 0 short swords into 1st-tier exquisite steel knives.
Everything was perfect!
"It's time to go!"
Qin Feng gazed at the night sky, ready to leave.
He planned to reach the 10th-tier beast area before dawn.
Tomorrow morning, he would start the second Resource Duel...
