Chapter 93
The night was hazy…
Beneath the ancient tree, the bonfire flickered gently.
On the rack, two bear paws sizzled with oil, their meat turning a golden hue.
The air was filled with waves of savory aroma of meat.
Qin Feng sat leisurely by the fire, holding a bamboo tube and sipping hot tea.
In this perilous world, everyone must learn to survive.
Qin Feng’s storage ring held plenty of self-prepared daily necessities, including some fresh water.
He took a sip of the hot tea.
As the tea slid down his throat, it refreshed his spirit and eased his fatigue, bringing a sense of comfort.
After two days and one night of continuous killing, even someone as strong as Qin Feng felt a bit weary.
At this moment, a hot tea and some roasted meat were very much needed.
Smells so good!
Qin Feng inhaled the meaty aroma lightly.
The bear paws were perfectly roasted!
His appetite surged. He took down one bear paw and began devouring it with gusto, eating it with relish….
Half an hour later, Qin Feng was full and satisfied. seaʀᴄh thё NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Two bear paws and three cups of hot water restored his stamina and energy to a new peak.
Everything was ready!
Now, he was just waiting for The Lost Villageto appear.
He lit a cigarette and took a relaxed puff.
Oh, right—it was time to acquire Level 8 and Level 9 ferocious beast corpses.
With this thought, he opened the trading channel and retrieved over thirty Tier 0 Novice Short Swords.
These were acquired through trading roasted meat.
However, the roasted meat business was no longer necessary.
Now, in Village 911, even the lowest-leveled individuals were at Level 3.
Liu Xuan had reached Level 7.
Long Shan, Wu Yong, Gu Ming, Lei Jue, and over a dozen others had advanced to Level 6.
Nearly seventy people had reached Level 5.
Village 911’s overall strength had surged drastically.
With greater strength came more options.
Roasted meat was something more and more people could produce themselves.
There was no need to continue that trade.
However, the market for Tier 1 steel knives remained hot.
Because only Qin Feng could produce them.
For Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 novices, Tier 1 steel blades perfectly suited their needs.
Soon, Qin Feng refined the thirty-plus Novice Short Swords into novice steel blades.
After finishing, he entered the chat channel.
The channel was buzzing with activity.
With their strength increased, people’s energy had become more vibrant, and many were unwilling to rest.
For Qin Feng, the Novice Assessment was long completed and wasn’t even a cause of concern.
But for others, it was a sword hanging over their heads, forcing them to stay up late to level up.
For their survival, sleep was a luxury they avoided.
Especially those at Level 3, who were so anxious they couldn’t sleep at all.
“Brothers, where are you all hunting monsters?”
“I’m in the Level 6 ferocious beast zone!”
“Holy crap! Dude above, you’re Level 5?”
“Haha! I’m only Level 4. But not long ago, I opened a Bronze Treasure Chest and got a heavenly treasure that evolves talents, upgrading my E-rank talent to D-rank. Now, even at Level 4, I can cross tiers to kill Level 6 beasts.”
“Wow! Bro, your luck is insane!”
“Yeah! I’m so jealous!”
“Wah! Wah! This little sister is jealous too!”
“Ugh! I’m also Level 4, but I can only kill Level 5 ferocious beasts. My talent rank is too low. But if I could get some gear, I might be able to take on Level 6 beasts.”
Multiple resource gambling victories had earned Village 911’s people massive attribute rewards, causing their strength to skyrocket.
Killing monsters one level higher was now commonplace!
Those with D-rank talents or good equipment could even kill monsters two levels above them.
This greatly accelerated Village 911’s leveling speed.
Qin Feng felt quite pleased.
These were Dragon Country people, his future villagers. He naturally hoped everyone could survive the Novice Assessment.
“Person above, speaking of gear, I’m thinking of Boss Qin Feng. His last batch of steel blades sold out. Why hasn’t he listed new ones?”
“Yeah! I’m still using a Novice Short Sword, waiting for Boss Qin Feng to sell new blades!”
“I’ve got two Tier 1 spiritual herbs saved up, just waiting for Boss Qin Feng to sell blades!”
Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled.
To him, the value of Tier 1 spiritual herbs far exceeded that of Tier 1 steel blades.
The more spiritual herbs he collected, the greater his strength would grow.
For these newcomers, however, Tier 1 steel blades were what they desired most.
It was a win-win situation!
With this in mind, he spoke up.
Qin Feng: “Everyone, I’m acquiring Level 8 and Level 9 ferocious beast corpses, as well as mutant ferocious beast corpses. Each corpse can be exchanged for one Tier 1 steel blade.”
Qin Feng: “I’m also acquiring various spiritual herbs and fruits. Two Tier 1 spiritual herbs or one Tier 1 spiritual fruit can be traded for one steel blade.”
Qin Feng: “I’m buying Novice Short Swords—five Novice Short Swords for one steel blade. Additionally, if you have Tier 2 spiritual herbs or fruits, you can message me privately.”
“Whoa! It’s Boss Qin Feng! Boss Qin Feng has appeared!”
“Finally seeing Boss Qin Feng! So excited!”
“Awesome! Boss Qin Feng, I’ve been waiting for you to sell knives!”
“Haha! Me too!”
“Brother Qin Feng, it’s so late—where are you? Can this little sister come keep you company?”
The moment Qin Feng appeared, the channel erupted in cheers and everyone was thrilled.
His prestige in Village 911 was sky-high, his words commanding immense response.
Qin Feng smiled lightly: “Brothers, the items are listed in the trading channel. Feel free to trade as needed.”
Just then, Wu Yong, Lei Jue, and others popped up.
Wu Yong: “Wow! Boss Qin Feng is here! So excited!”
Lei Jue: “Boss Qin Feng, I want to follow you and learn from you!”
Qin Feng: “Lei Jue, you’re already Level 6. Do you still need me to guide you?”
Lei Jue: “Haha! Boss Qin Feng, on a serious note, when are you planning to tackle that village chief mission?”
The moment this was mentioned, the entire channel lit up.
“Yeah! That mission is super important! Boss Qin Feng, you have to do it!”
“Exactly! Without a village chief and an established village, we can’t face the Heavenly Retribution five days from now.”
“Ugh! The Heavenly Retribution is a powerhouse with over 100 stars of combat power! Without the village’s protective array, we can’t withstand this trial. By then, all our Novice Wooden Houses will be destroyed, and we’ll become refugees.”
“That’s not the worst part! The worst is that everyone will be penalized by losing 100 attribute points!”
“Sob! Sob! Just thinking about losing 100 attributes makes this little sister terrified!”
“Don’t be scared, sister upstairs! We have Boss Qin Feng!”
“Exactly! Boss Qin Feng, you have to take on that mission. Everyone hopes you’ll become our village chief.”
“Yeah! Boss Qin Feng, you must become our village chief!”
In that moment, everyone united, expressing their fervent hopes to Qin Feng.
It was as if Qin Feng was their sole pillar of support.
With Village 911’s current strength and resources, 90% of its people could pass the Novice Assessment.
For most, their greatest fear was the Heavenly Retribution’s arrival in five days.
Thus, establishing a formal village had become Village 911’s most urgent priority.
At that moment, Liu Yuan’s avatar pulsed.
Liu Yuan: “Everyone, you can’t keep pressuring Boss Qin Feng. You know, this mission’s details are too vague. No one even knows how to start it.”
Liu Yuan: “What we need to do now is quickly gather useful information to help Boss Qin Feng complete the mission smoothly!”
Lei Jue: “Makes sense! Does anyone know anything about this mission?”
“No clue! The public mission mentions finding clues in The Lost Village, but it doesn’t say where The Lost Village is!”
“Yeah! The Mission Hint also mentions needing a Dark Seal. But how do we get a Dark Seal? No one knows!”
“Ugh! The Heavenly Dao loves playing these games. It’s so frustrating.”
“Exactly! If this drags on, we won’t know when we’ll figure out the mission’s path.”
“The sooner we establish an official village, the better. Delaying like this is bad—it’ll weaken our village’s competitiveness.”
“Yeah! With 1,000 people per village and 10 billion people globally, that’s 10 million villages. Everyone’s rushing to establish their village first.”
“Hey! Seeing you all so anxious makes me anxious too, but I can’t help at all.”
Seeing everyone’s urgency, Qin Feng spoke again.
Qin Feng: “No need to worry, everyone. I’ve already found some clues. Perhaps tonight, I’ll figure out how to proceed with this mission.”
At those words, the crowd cheered.
“Wow! That’s awesome!”
“Haha! Boss Qin Feng is really Boss Qin Feng—finding clues so fast!”
“I was just saying I was stressed, and now Boss Qin Feng’s found clues. That’s amazing!”
“Boss Qin Feng, have you found the location of The Lost Village?”
“Boss Qin Feng, entering it requires a Dark Seal, you know!”
Qin Feng saw this and smiled, about to respond.
Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!
Suddenly, a faint tremor came from one side of the ancient tree.
He quickly turned to look and saw the heavens and earth quaking as a faint, dilapidated village materialized.
The Lost Village had finally appeared.
