Global Killing: Starting with an SSS-level Talent - Chapter 34

Chapter 34 — The Role of Prestige, a Great Increase in Strength!

After a moment, Qin Feng had finished extracting those corpses. With four corpses and an additional mutant beast, he gained 11 attribute points.

Not bad!

At this point, he had already extracted the maximum from the Level 3 ferocious beasts, so there was no need to continue purchasing them. Thinking about this, he entered the Chat Channel.

Inside, the conversation was still lively.

Gu Ming: “Tier-1 weapons are really useful! Haha!”

Wu Yong: “Haha! I just exchanged for a steel sword from Qin Feng.”

“Wow! I envy you two! When will I get a tier-1 weapon?”

“The one above, if you work hard on leveling up and hunt more Level 4 ferocious beasts, you’ll naturally get one!”

“Big shot, you make it sound so easy! Level 4 ferocious beasts are so strong, us Level 2 folks wouldn’t dare to touch them!”

“By the way, Gu Ming, you mentioned earlier that you can’t use the Resource Gamble Token. Why?”

Gu Ming: “That token can only be used by the person with the highest Level in the village, and it’s unique, appearing only once in each newbie village.”

This revelation caused a stir in the chat.

“Wow! I see now!”

“Haha!! Now that the token is in Qin Feng’s hands, it’s perfect!”

“Qin Feng, when will you activate the Resource Gamble?”

“Yes! We’re looking forward to it!”

“Qin Feng, can you give us a hint?”

At this moment, everyone in the Chat Channel was filled with anticipation.

Seeing this, Qin Feng responded.

Qin Feng: “Don’t rush, everyone! It’s already late at night, and I believe many of you are tired and not in your best condition. Let’s wait until daytime when everyone is refreshed and in their best state, and then we can begin the gamble!”

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.

“Sounds reasonable!”

“Qin Feng really thinks ahead!”

“That’s right! I’m already so tired. Even with roasted meat to eat, it can only replenish our stamina, not our energy. Resting is essential!”

“I support Qin Feng’s decision! Let’s prepare well, replenish ourselves, and have a big battle tomorrow in the daylight!”

“Haha! That’s the way to go!”

Seeing everyone’s agreement, Qin Feng smiled.

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Feng had already established his prestige in Newbie Village 911, and his words had a significant influence.

In reality, he didn’t delay due to fatigue.

With his exceptional energy, he had transcended the limits of ordinary people.

He could go without sleep for three days and nights without feeling tired. His true intention was to delve into the most dangerous Level 10 ferocious beast territory before activating the Resource Gamble.

Level 10 ferocious beasts were the most dangerous but offered the highest rewards, making leveling up a lot faster. His chances of winning were the highest there. By entering the Level 10 ferocious beast territory before initiating the gamble, he could save a significant amount of travel time.

The distance from the Level 6 territory to the Level 10 territory was quite long. However, he didn’t want to reveal these plans. With this in mind, he sent another message in the chat.

Qin Feng: “Everyone, starting now, I’ll stop purchasing all Level 3 ferocious beast corpses. Ill only purchase Level 4 and 5 ferocious beast corpses, as well as mutant ferocious beast corpses.”

“What?! You don’t want Level 3 white fox corpses either?”

“Sigh! Sigh! Qin Feng, you’re too advanced for us. We can’t keep up with your speed!”

“Ah! It looks like I need to Level up and strive to have the ability to hunt Level 4 ferocious beasts!”

“Yes! Everyone, let’s work hard!”

“Qin Feng, I have something special in my inventory, and I’d like to exchange it for 10 pounds of roasted meat with you.”

At that moment, a person named Huang Longjing, with a jumping avatar, spoke up.

Qin Feng was curious, “What is it?”

Huang Longjing replied, “It’s some tea leaves! I took them to the Heaven’s Path Trading System, and they were determined to be a tier-0 item. I picked a pound of tea leaves and wanted to exchange it for 10 pounds of roasted meat. What do you think?”

“What the heck! Tea leaves are considered tier-0 item? I’ve traded stones and weeds in the trading channel before, and they were both classified as non-tier items, deemed to have no trading value.”

“Huang Longjing, how do you know which ones are tea leaves? You better not be mistaken and have picked some poisonous leaves.”

“No mistake at all! In my hometown on Blue Star, we grow tea leaves. I can recognize them at a glance. Out of curiosity, I picked some, and I didn’t expect them to be a tier 0 item.”

Seeing this, Qin Feng became curious as well. Tier-0 items still had some uses.

For example, the novice short sword was a tier-0 resource and had 2 points of attack power.  Maybe exchanging for a pound of tea leaves would lead to some novel discoveries.

Nowadays, there weren’t many people in the newbie village who had the True Sight ability.

Many people couldn’t discern the properties of resources they acquired.

The trading channel only identified their tier but didn’t specify their effects.

With this in mind, Qin Feng had an idea.

Qin Feng: “Alright, let’s make the exchange.”

Huang Longjing was delighted, “That’s great! Thank you so much, Qin Feng!”

Qin Feng: “Join me in the trading channel.”

Huang Longjing: “Sure!”

Soon, both of them entered the trading channel and completed the trade.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng’s storage ring contained an additional pound of tea leaves.

He took out a bit of tea leaves and examined them in his hand.

The tea leaves were emerald green and had a rich aroma.

“Judging by their quality, they could be considered upper-class tea leaves. I wonder what they’re used for.”

With a thought, he activated his True Sight …

[Name]: Tea Leaves

[Tier]: Tier-0 (One of the basic resources in the newbie village)

[Effect]: Non-toxic. When brewed and consumed, it can quench thirst, relieve fatigue, and cool the body.

“Quench thirst, relieve fatigue, and cool the body?”

Curious, Qin Feng used a bamboo cup to take some hot water from a stone pot and added a few tea leaves.

After a moment, the fragrance of the tea filled the air, refreshing the senses.

He lifted the bamboo cup and took a sip of the tea, feeling a delightful flavor filling his mouth.

In the next moment, as the tea entered his stomach, he felt a surge of vitality rising within him …

[Successfully consumed hot tea, energy restored +1]

[Successfully consumed hot tea, energy restored +1]

[Successfully consumed hot tea, energy restored +1]

…

“Huh? What’s this?” Qin Feng heard a prompt from the Heaven’s Path in his mind.

Simultaneously, he noticed that after taking a sip of tea, he felt exceptionally refreshed. The slight fatigue he had been experiencing was rapidly dissipating.

So, drinking hot tea could dispel mental fatigue.

Great!

This was a valuable discovery!

Qin Feng took several more sips of the hot tea. Soon, he felt revitalized, reaching his peak condition again.

[Announcement: Newbie Qin Feng has discovered the life hack that drinking hot tea can dispel mental fatigue. As the first discoverer, Qin Feng is awarded 1 point of prestige!]

At this moment, an announcement from the Heaven’s Path rang in everyone’s minds, leaving them stunned.

Qin Feng was also momentarily surprised. But before anyone could overthink this, the Heaven’s Path delivered new notifications.

[Announcement: Newbie Qin Feng’s prestige has reached 10 points, earning him the title ‘Newbie Elite’ and the blessings of the Heaven’s Path.]

[Announcement: Congratulations to Qin Feng for becoming a Newbie Elite. Your Strength attribute increases by 5 points.]

[Announcement: Congratulations to Qin Feng for becoming a Newbie Elite. Your Agility attribute increases by 5 points.]

[Announcement: Congratulations to Qin Feng for becoming a Newbie Elite. Your Constitution attribute increases by 5 points.]

[Announcement: Congratulations to Qin Feng for becoming a Newbie Elite. Your Energy attribute increases by 5 points.]

It turned out that having a certain level of prestige could also enhance one’s abilities.

Qin Feng was thrilled.

The Chat Channel erupted in excitement.

“Wow! Qin Feng just gained another 20 attribute points! His strength has soared!”

“I had no idea that prestige had such great benefits!”

“I’m so envious! Seriously, so envious!”

“Oh my goodness! I think Qin Feng is living the life of luxury! While we’re all struggling, he’s discovering the benefits of eating roasted meat one moment and drinking hot tea the next.”

“Exactly! If you didn’t know better, you’d think he’s on vacation!”

“Wow! I’m so jealous!”

“I want prestige too! I want to become a Newbie Elite! Sob, sob! I’m so envious!”

At this moment, everyone was insanely envious.

In the secluded mountain stream, after Qin Feng’s joy, he took out the three newbie short swords he had acquired.

In just a moment, he transformed the three tier-0 newbie short swords into tier-1 refined steel swords.

With this, everything was perfect.

“It’s time to set off!”

Qin Feng looked into the night, ready to depart. He wanted to reach the Level 10 territory before dawn.

Tomorrow morning, he would initiate the second resource gamble …
