The 21 beast corpses included: Water Arrow Giant Frogs, Green-haired Giant Turtles, Saber-toothed Wildcats, Black-clawed Monkeys, Wild Bulls, and Red-fanged Boars—six types of Tier 2 beasts in total.
Each species had at least three specimens, covering all Tier 2 varieties.
Fifteen minutes later, Qin Feng had finished extracting everything in bulk.
He eagerly opened his attribute panel.
[Name]: Qin Feng
[Level]: 3 (540/600)
[Class]: Tier 1 Arbiter (10/100)
[Reputation]: 1
[Strength]: 91 (Berserk Strength, D-Tier)
[Agility]: 96 (Berserk Speed, D-Tier)
[Constitution]: 93 (Enhanced Constitution, E-Tier, Poison Resistance +100%)
[Energy]: 110 (Enhanced Mental Focus, D-Tier, Enhanced Vision, E-Tier; Enhanced Smell, F-Tier)
[Elemental Talent]: Flame Control (D-Tier)
[Innate Talent]: Endless Extraction (SSS-Level)
[Skills]: True Sight (Tier 1), Beast Taming (Tier 3)
[Combat Power Evaluation]: 9 Stars
"Hmm~!"
After this round of extraction, his combat power had risen to 9 stars, easily improving by one whole star.
It felt amazing.
With his current strength, he was now capable of hunting Tier 5 beasts and above.
As for Tier 2 beasts, they were no longer worth his time.
He had already reached the extraction limit for all six Tier 2 beast types during this trade, so there was no need to hunt them anymore.
With that thought, Qin Feng entered the trade channel to update his trading terms.
He changed "3 pounds of roasted meat for one Tier 2 beast corpse" to "10 pounds of roasted meat for one Tier 3 beast corpse".
After modifying the terms, he entered the chat channel.
As soon as he joined, he saw a startling announcement.
"Selling roasted meat! 50 pounds for a Tier 1 item!"
The message caused an uproar.
"Holy crap~! You're dreaming if you think 50 pounds of meat can get you a Tier 1 item!"
"Seriously, in the Rookie period, the drop rate for beasts is absurdly low. There probably aren't more than a few Tier 1 items in the whole village, and you want to trade meat for one?"
"Exactly! This guy's a total scammer. Qin Feng, on the other hand, is reliable—he trades for useless beast corpses, and his deals are always fair."
"Yeah! Even if I had a Tier 1 item, I'd keep it for myself. No way I'd trade it for meat. If I needed meat, I'd just go to Qin Feng."
Many people were criticizing the seller of roasted meat.
Seeing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but think.
Selling roasted meat as a business wouldn't last forever—competition was already appearing.
But he had an advantage: he used roasted meat to trade for unwanted beast corpses, making his offers appealing to others.
At least during the Rookie period, he could make significant profits.
With this in mind, he sent a message.
"From now on, I will no longer accept Tier 2 beast corpses. I'm now trading for Tier 3 beast corpses instead. 10 pounds of roasted meat for one Tier 3 beast corpse."
As soon as the message was posted, the chat exploded again.
"Qin Feng, why aren't you taking Tier 2 beast corpses anymore? I just found one! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!!"
"Holy crap~! Qin Feng, you're always ahead of the curve. Hardly anyone can kill a Tier 3 beast right now, and you're already trading for them!"
"Damn it! I can't kill Tier 3 beasts. Looks like I'll have to rub sticks together to make fire now."
"Sigh. I guess I'll have to rely on myself for food. When I can kill Tier 3 beasts, I'll trade with Qin Feng."
Many people sighed in frustration.
Then Qin Feng posted an even more shocking message.
"Selling one lighter! Trade for 3 Tier 1 Spirit Herbs, 1 Tier 1 Spirit Fruit, or a Tier 1 item."
Boom~!
This announcement caused a massive stir.
"Holy crap~! A lighter! The source of life itself!"
"With a lighter, you can make fire, and that means endless roasted meat!"
"Qin Feng, are you sure? Are you really selling a lighter? Won't this cut off your own supply chain?"
"Lighters are super useful right now! I'm tempted!"
"Me too! But I don't have a Tier 1 item!"
Many people sighed in admiration and regret.
Who would have thought that such a small item could cause such a commotion?
In the current Rookie period, where fire was scarce, a lighter was as valuable as a decent piece of equipment.
However, Qin Feng no longer needed it.
Thanks to his Flame Control, he could start fires at will.
With a chuckle, Qin Feng exited the chat channel and entered the trade channel to list the lighter for sale.
After finishing, he left the channel.
Fifteen minutes later, beside a campfire.
Qin Feng carefully refined several Rookie Short Swords, removing rust and impurities to turn them into Tier 1 Exquisite Steel Blades.
Satisfied with his work, he nodded.
[Notification: Liu Yuan has traded a Tier 1 Spirit Fruit – Essence Condensing Fruit – for your lighter.]
"Huh?"
He actually traded a lighter for a Spirit Fruit!
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
He quickly entered his personal trade page and retrieved the item.
In the next moment, a flash of white light appeared.
A small purple fruit, the size of a ping-pong ball, materialized in his hand. It emitted a tantalizing fragrance.
This was the Essence Condensing Fruit.
[Name]: Essence Condensing Fruit
[Grade]: Tier 1 Spirit Fruit
[Effect]: Non-toxic. Consuming it enhances Energy.
Non-toxic!
That meant he could eat it directly!
Crunch~!
Qin Feng took a big bite without hesitation. A refreshing, sweet sensation spread through his body.
It tasted great, with a hint of mint.
In just a few bites, the fruit was gone.
Once consumed, the Spirit Fruit transformed into a cool energy that surged into his consciousness, enhancing his Energy.
After some time, the energy fully merged into his mind.
[Notification: You have consumed an Essence Condensing Fruit. Energy attribute increased by 9 points.]
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat!
Nine points!
A single Spirit Fruit had increased his Energy by 9 points—one of the hardest attributes to raise.
What a steal!
Spirit Fruits were inherently more valuable than Spirit Herbs.
Roughly one Spirit Fruit was worth three Spirit Herbs.
How could Liu Yuan part with such a precious fruit for a lighter?
Ah, of course!
Not everyone had True Sight.
Liu Yuan probably only knew it was a Tier 1 Spirit Fruit but wasn't sure if it was poisonous, so he didn't dare eat it.
In this brutal, survival-oriented world, caution was key.
One wrong bite could mean death, with no hospitals or rescue available.
Realizing this, Qin Feng understood why Liu Yuan had been willing to trade.
It was precisely this caution that had allowed Qin Feng to snag such a bargain.
Now it was time to sell the Steel Blades.
With that thought, Qin Feng entered the chat channel and posted a series of messages.
Qin Feng: "Selling Tier 1 Exquisite Steel Blades in bulk! Can be traded for 3 Spirit Herbs, 1 Spirit Fruit, or other Tier 1 items."
Qin Feng: "Also, still purchasing Rookie Short Swords. 10 pounds of roasted meat for one."
The chat channel erupted once again...
