Chapter 22 – Lighter Can Be Traded for Spirit Fruits
Twenty-one ferocious beast corpses included water arrow giant frogs, green-haired giant turtles, Giant fang mountain cats, sharp-clawed black monkeys, wild savage bulls, and crimson-toothed black beasts, all of them being Level 2 Ferocious Beasts.
This should include all the varieties of Level 2 Ferocious Beasts, with at least three of each…
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Feng had completed the batch attribute extraction.
Afterward, he couldn’t wait to bring up his attribute panel:
[Name]: Qin Feng
[Level]: 3 (540/600)
[Vocation]: Level 1 Adjudicator (10/100)
[Prestige]: 1
[Strength]: 91 (Power Rampage, D-rank)
[Agility]: 96 (Speed Enhancement, D-rank)
[Constitution]: 93 (Constitution Reinforcement, E-Rank, Poison Resistance +100%)
[Energy]: 110 (Mind Reinforcement, D Rank, Enhanced Vision, E Rank; Enhanced Sense of Smell, F Rank)
[Elemental Talent]: Flame Manipulation (D-Rank)
[Innate Talent]: Endless Extraction (SSS-Rank)
[Skills]: True Sight Eye (Level 1), Beast Taming (Level 3)
[Combat Power Evaluation]: 9 star
Huh~!
With this round of extraction, his battle power evaluation reached 9 star.
He effortlessly advanced a star!
It was really exhilarating.
With his current strength, he could go directly to hunt ferocious beasts above Level 5. As for Level 2 Ferocious Beasts, he had no need to hunt them anymore.
After this series of trades, he had reached the limit for all six types of Level 2 Ferocious Beasts, and there was no need to hunt them anymore …
Thinking of this, Qin Feng entered the trading channel and changed the trading rules. He altered the exchange of 3 pounds of roasted meat for one corpse of a Level 2 Ferocious Beast to 10 pounds of roasted meat for one corpse of a Level 3 Ferocious Beast.
After modifying the rules, he entered the Chat Channel.
As soon as he entered, an astonishing message popped up.
“Selling roasted meat! Selling roasted meat! 50 pounds of roasted meat in exchange for tier-1 equipment!”
This message caused quite a stir among the people.
“Woah~! You want to exchange 50 pounds of roasted meat for a tier-1 equipment? Are you half asleep?”
“We’re all newbies now, and the drop rate of ferocious beasts is extremely low. I’m afraid there aren’t many tier-1 equipment in the entire newbie village. You actually want to use 50 pounds of roasted meat to exchange for one piece of tier-1 equipment!”
“Exactly! This guy is just a profiteer! Qin Feng is doing great; he only trades for unwanted ferocious beast corpses, and his transactions are fair.”
“That’s right! Even if I have tier-1 equipment, I’d keep it for myself, and I wouldn’t exchange it with you. If I want to buy roasted meat, I’ll go to Qin Feng.”
People criticized the seller one after another.
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng muttered to himself.
This roasted meat business wouldn’t last long; competition arose so quickly. However, he had his advantages: he traded roasted meat for ferocious beast corpses that others didn’t want, and people were willing to trade with him. At least during the newbie phase, he could make a lot of profit.
With this in mind, he posted a few sentences.
“Ladies and gentlemen, starting from now, I will stop buying corpses of Level 2 Ferocious Beasts and will instead buy corpses of Level 3 Ferocious Beasts. Ten pounds of grilled meat in exchange for one Level 3 Ferocious Beast corpse.”
As soon as this message was sent, everyone was in an uproar.
“Qin Feng, why aren’t you buying Level 2 Ferocious Beast corpses anymore? I just found one! Sob! Sob! Sob!!”
“Oh, damn! Qin Feng, you’re really keeping up with the times, huh? There are probably not many people who can kill Level 3 Ferocious Beasts now, and you’re already buying them!”
“Oh no! I’m in trouble! Can’t kill a Level 3 Ferocious Beast, so I can only rub two sticks together to make fire!”
“Well, looks like I’ll have to do it myself and have enough to eat. I’ll trade with Qin Feng only when I can kill a Level 3 Ferocious Beast.”
Many people sighed.
Qin Feng then sent out an even more sensational message.
“Selling a lighter! In exchange for three Level 1 Spirit Grass, or in exchange for one Level 1 Spirit Fruit, or you can exchange it for tier-1 equipment.”
Boom!
This message caused a commotion throughout.
“Oh, damn! A lighter! The source of life!”
“With a lighter, we can make fire, and we can keep making grilled meat!”
“Qin Feng, are you sure you’re not mistaken? You’re selling a lighter? You’re cutting off your own source of business!”
“Lighters are very useful now! I’m tempted!”
“I’m tempted too, but I don’t have tier-1 equipment!”
Many people were amazed.
No one could have expected that a simple lighter could cause such a sensation.
In a beginner’s phase where fire sources were scarce, a lighter was equivalent to a decent piece of equipment.
However, it was of no use to Qin Feng because he could control flames and didn’t need a lighter.
At that moment, Qin Feng smiled, exited the Chat Channel, and entered the trading channel, listing the lighter as an item for sale.
After completing all this, he exited the channel …
Fifteen minutes later, by the campfire. Qin Feng took several novice short swords in his hand, removed the rust and residue from them, and transformed them into tier-1 exquisite steel swords.
After finishing all this, he was very satisfied.
[Reminder: Liu Yuan exchanged your lighter for a Level 1 Spirit Fruit—Essence Fruit.]
Huh!
He actually exchanged a lighter for a Spirit Fruit!
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
He quickly entered the personal trading page and retrieved the item.
The next moment, a white light flashed.
He now had an extra purple spirit fruit in his hand, about the size of a ping pong ball, emitting an enticing fruity fragrance.
That was the Essence Fruit.
[Name]: Essence Fruit
[Grade]: Level 1 Spirit Fruit
[Effect]: Non-toxic, consumption enhances energy.
Non-toxic!
That meant he could eat it directly!
Crunch!
Without hesitation, Qin Feng took a big bite, and a cool and sweet flavor immediately flowed into his body …
The taste was quite good, with a hint of mint.
Soon, he finished off the spirit fruit in a few bites.
As the spirit fruit entered his stomach, it transformed into a refreshing energy that surged into his dantian, strengthening his energy …
After a while, the energy from those spirit fruits completely merged into his dantian …
[Consumption of Essence Fruit completed, you have gained 9 points of energy attribute.]
Qin Feng was shocked!
My goodness! 9 attribute points!
A single spirit fruit had actually given him 9 attribute points, and it was the most challenging attribute to increase—energy!
This was truly hitting the jackpot!
The value of a spirit fruit was already higher than that of spirit grass!
Roughly, one spirit fruit was equivalent to three spirit grasses!
Strange!
Why would Liu Yuan, who possessed such precious spirit fruits, trade them for a lighter with him?
Why was he so willing?
Right!
Not everyone had the True Sight Eye.
Liu Yuan only knew that this was a Level 1 Spirit Fruit but didn’t know whether it was toxic or not, so he dared not eat it.
In this world filled with danger and slaughter, everyone had to be cautious to survive. If you were poisoned, there were no hospitals here, and nobody would save you. With this in mind, Qin Feng understood why Liu Yuan was willing to trade it. It was precisely because of this that he had hit the jackpot.
So, next, he should sell the steel swords.
With this in mind, he entered the chat channel and sent out a few messages.
Qin Feng: “Selling a large quantity of Level 1 exquisite steel swords, can be exchanged for three spirit grass, or 1 Spirit Fruit, or other tier 1 equipment.”
Qin Feng: “In addition, I’m also buying tier-0 novice short swords long-term. 10 pounds of grilled meat for one.”
As soon as these messages were posted, the entire Chat Channel exploded …
