Two Stars! Power Boost!

Gaining New Talents

Qin Feng approached the woman's body, placing his hand on her...

**Buzz~!**

A flash of white light!

> **[Infinite Extraction successful! Gained E-level talent - Speed Enhancement!]**

> **[Speed Enhancement: Speed talent, doubles speed!]**

"Nice!"

Another talent acquired!

Speed Enhancement essentially meant an increase in agility. With this talent, his Agility stat was now equivalent to 22 points, doubling that of an average adult. This agility boost would make Qin Feng more evasive during battles, allowing him to dodge attacks more effectively and strike faster, giving him a considerable advantage in combat. This increase in agility would greatly improve his ability to dodge attacks, move faster in combat, and react more quickly to sudden threats, giving him a significant edge in future battles. This significantly boosted his overall strength!

After that, Qin Feng walked over to the plump man's body. Judging by the chef's uniform, this man was a chef before his death.

Qin Feng placed his hand on the man's body...

**Buzz~!**

> **[Infinite Extraction successful! Gained F-level talent - Enhanced Smell!]**

> **[Enhanced Smell: Increases olfactory sense tenfold!]**

This time, the extraction yielded an F-level talent, the lowest tier—Enhanced Smell, one of the six senses enhancements. However, Qin Feng's face showed excitement upon receiving this information.

Enhanced Smell was incredibly useful to him. The grasslands were vast, and finding bodies was not an easy task. Qin Feng's ability to locate bodies gave him a strategic advantage, allowing him to gather valuable resources and avoid dangerous beasts more effectively. For example, if he ever found himself in a dangerous situation where he needed to locate a safe path or avoid a predator, his heightened sense of smell could detect blood or the scent of a beast from afar, potentially saving his life. Now, with a tenfold enhancement to his sense of smell, he could track the scent of blood to locate bodies, making the task ten times easier. Additionally, he could use his heightened sense of smell to detect the presence of ferocious beasts, allowing him to avoid danger in advance.

Thus, Enhanced Smell was invaluable to him.

Gathering Resources

Qin Feng quickly finished scavenging the battlefield. He retrieved the steel dagger that had been knocked away by the giant rat... He also collected the novice short daggers from the two dead bodies, wrapping them in the chef's uniform and carrying them on his back. These items were resources that could be used to trade with others for supplies.

After finishing, he checked his personal stats, feeling quite satisfied. In less than an hour, his Strength and Agility had both reached the average adult level, and he had acquired three talent abilities.

Currently, his combat power rating was 1 star. But with multiple talent abilities, his overall strength could easily reach 2 stars, perhaps even the 2-star limit, meaning he could take on tougher beasts like the Berserk Wild Boars or even the Grey Wolves of the Plains, and handle more dangerous encounters with greater ease. This change in strength would allow him to venture into riskier areas and take on challenges that were previously beyond his capabilities, significantly altering his strategy.

After all, the combat power evaluation only considered the four-dimensional attributes and did not account for talents. Talents were varied and couldn't be quantified in the evaluation. Therefore, the Heavenly Path's combat power rating could only be used as a reference. This reference was fairly accurate for assessing the strength of beasts. However, when it came to evaluating human strength, there could be significant discrepancies—especially for someone like Qin Feng, who possessed multiple talents. His strength would always be greatly underestimated.

After reviewing his stats, Qin Feng exited the personal information page.

At that moment, his expression shifted slightly, and he looked in a specific direction. With his heightened sense of smell, he detected a faint scent of blood drifting in from that direction, moving quickly toward him.

Could it be an injured beast approaching?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, the sound of footsteps and voices came from a distance.

"Damn it! Our group is so unlucky, running into two Giant Gnawing Rats at once. We didn't stand a chance!"

"Yeah! Everyone got hurt, and Li Yue and Zhou Cheng were killed on the spot."

"Luckily, Boss Hu was smart—we fought while retreating and managed to lure one rat into the pit and kill it."

"Enough talk! The other rat was badly injured—who knows if it escaped?"

"Hurry up! We can't let anyone else take the spoils!"

"Move!"

With that, the footsteps quickened.

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat. From what they were saying, it seemed he had indeed taken their spoils. The five of them were heading in his direction.

Apparently, they were part of a seven-person group. Earlier, they had encountered two Giant Gnawing Rats. During the ensuing chaotic battle, one of the rats was severely injured, while Li Yue and Zhou Cheng were killed on the spot, and the remaining five members were injured.

Realizing the dire situation, the five survivors fought while retreating, eventually using the terrain and their wits to kill one of the rats. Now, they were returning to finish off the other injured rat.

Avoiding Conflict

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Qin Feng quickly crouched and slipped into the grass, stealthily moving away... He had no intention of clashing with them—there was simply no need. Avoiding conflict would help him conserve energy and stay hidden from larger threats, ensuring he could continue his quest for resources without unnecessary risks. Besides, he had taken advantage of their efforts.

With his Speed Enhancement talent, Qin Feng moved swiftly and with incredible agility. Coupled with Enhanced Smell, he could predict their routes and avoid them in advance. In just a short while, he had successfully snuck away from the scene.

Not long after, angry shouts echoed behind him.

"Who?! Who took our spoils?!"

"Damn it! Damn thief!"

Hearing the distant shouts, Qin Feng felt amused. He was not someone who would show mercy. Moreover, in this blood-soaked world of slaughter, mercy would only get him killed. The primary rule here was to fight for resources by any means necessary. In this world, you either grew stronger or died!

Ignoring their angry voices, Qin Feng continued his search for more bodies...

Scavenging for Resources

Fifteen minutes later, he used his heightened sense of smell to locate the body of a Bloodfang Rabbit. After using Infinite Extraction, he gained 2 more Strength points, making him feel quite pleased.

He then continued his search for more bodies... In the Newbie Plains, over two hundred groups were struggling to hunt down various Level 1 ferocious beasts. Qin Feng, on the other hand, did nothing but roam around looking for bodies to extract attributes from, living quite comfortably.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Qin Feng found over a dozen beast carcasses. There were Bloodfang Rabbits, Giant Gnawing Rats, Grey Wolves of the Plains, Berserk Wild Boars, and Venomous Nine-Ringed Snakes, including a particularly challenging Grey Wolf that had deep claw marks across its body, suggesting it had fought another predator before succumbing. The sight added tension, making Qin Feng aware of just how brutal this world could be...

He also discovered a rule: for each type of Level 1 beast, he could only extract attributes three times. Each extraction yielded 2 attribute points. A fourth extraction had no effect.

After his search, he had extracted attributes three times from the Bloodfang Rabbits, Giant Gnawing Rats, Grey Wolves of the Plains, and Berserk Wild Boars on the Newbie Plains, and no longer needed to search for more of those. He had only encountered the Venomous Nine-Ringed Snake once.

In addition, seven more humans had died during this time. He found one body and extracted an F-level talent—Enhanced Vision, which was still a valuable gain.

Evaluating Progress

At this moment, Qin Feng was crouched in a bush. He pulled up his personal information to check his progress.

> **[Name]: Qin Feng**

> **[Level]: 1 (30/100)**

> **[Strength]: 20**

> **[Agility]: 21**

> **[Constitution]: 18**

> **[Energy]: 30**

> **[Talents]: Infinite Extraction (SSS-level), Super Strength Enhancement (D-level), Speed Enhancement (E-level), Enhanced Smell (F-level), Enhanced Vision (F-level)**

> **[Skills]: None**

> **[Combat Power Evaluation]: 2 Stars**

"Finally, my combat power evaluation has reached 2 stars."

Qin Feng was overjoyed after reviewing his stats. This was just the combat power evaluation. Now that he had reached 2 stars, Qin Feng felt ready to face tougher beasts and more challenging situations, confident that his talents and abilities would give him the upper hand. If he factored in his multiple talents, his overall strength could definitely reach the 3-star limit or even 4 stars.

With his current power, he could easily take on Level 1 ferocious beasts one-on-one...
