Chapter 40

Chapter 40 – Shadow Boots, Speed Soars!The people from the Third World had finally made their move!

The resource gamble had begun …

A sense of urgency welled up in Qin Feng’s heart. He took a deep breath and opened the bronze treasure chest. A burst of white light flashed, and the chest disappeared, leaving him with a pair of boots in his hand.

These boots had a black sole, a purple surface, and a golden dragon pattern, looking incredibly domineering.

[Treasure chest opened successfully! Obtained second-tier item: Shadow Boots!]

[Shadow Boots: Agility +15, Defense +5, Movement Speed +50%.]

These boots provided a +50% increase in movement speed. With them on, he would be as fast as the wind.  These Shadow Boots were indeed top-notch among tier-2 items. Qin Feng was delighted and quickly put on the Shadow Boots. As soon as he did, he felt extremely comfortable, and an invisible force emanated from the boots and flowed into his body.

In the next moment, he felt his body become much more agile. Qin Feng knew that it was the +15 Agility from the Shadow Boots taking effect, enhancing his attributes. The feeling was incredibly pleasant!

With another top-quality piece of equipment, his strength had increased once again.  Considering that he was already equipped with five items:

– Tier-4 Wind Mark Blade

– Tier-2 Bear King Battle Armor

– Tier-2 Shadow Boots

– Tier-1 Strength Bracelet

– Tier-1 Storage Ring

There were likely very few people in the entire First District who could match his equipment.

[Announcement: Successful interconnection of Chat Channels for the two major newbie villages. Villagers from both sides can enter each other’s Chat Channels but have no speaking privileges.]

[Reminder: Resource gamble will begin in ten minutes. Countdown: 10:00 … 9:59 …]

[The interconnection was successful!]  

Qin Feng’s heart stirred, and he quickly entered the Chat Channel, switching to the 446th Village Chat Channel.

As soon as he entered, he saw that the people from the Third World were celebrating.

“Haha!! The interconnection is finally successful!”

“This time, we must defeat the people from the Dragon Nation! Let them know that they are the sick men of Asia, and we are the strongest nation in Asia!”

“Upstairs! We will definitely win!”

“Of course! With our great Amir leading us, how could we possibly lose?”

At this moment, a bearded man named Salman had a flashing profile picture.

Salman said, “Everyone, I am Amir’s most loyal follower. Right now, Amir needs your help!”

“What help? Salman, please tell us!”

Salman continued, “The Level 8 Ferocious Beast territory is a lush jungle, and it’s quite troublesome to search for Ferocious Beasts inside. Amir needs your help in finding Ferocious Beasts to increase his efficiency in hunting them.”

“I understand! Everyone, let’s get to work and head to the Level 8 Ferocious Beast area to help Amir find Ferocious Beasts.”

“Oh my goodness! Go to the Level 8 Ferocious Beast area? That’s an extremely dangerous place. We dare not go there at all!”

“Yes! I’m only at Level 1. I’m afraid I’ll die on the way before reaching the Level 8 Ferocious Beast territory.”

Salman: “Those below Level 3 shouldn’t go, but those above Level 3 can team up. Let’s form teams of twenty.”

“That’s a good idea! Those above Level 3, let’s get moving. Salman, should each team appoint a leader?”

Salman: “Hmm, that makes sense. You can form your own teams, and the one with the highest Level and the strongest power can be the leader.”

“Oh! Salman, that’s an incorrect suggestion. It shouldn’t only be based on Level and power; caste should also be considered. I, born as a noble Brahmin, can’t possibly be a subordinate to a low-caste person.”

“Right! If my leader is born low-caste, even if they’re powerful, I wouldn’t follow. I’m a high-caste Shatriya!”

“Exactly! Low-caste is low-caste! Even with a high level, they’re still low-caste and not worthy of being our leader.”

“You despicable people! This isn’t Blue Star; it’s the Slaughter World. At this point, you’re still talking about castes!”

“Upstairs, what’s wrong with not being Blue Star? Aren’t you one of us from the Third World? Do you want to betray the Third World? Everyone, did you see that? The low-caste person upstairs wants to betray the Third World!”

At that moment, there was a fierce argument within the Third World.

Then Salman jumped in again.

Salman: “Alright, everyone, stop arguing! I’ll announce that the selection of team leaders is primarily based on Level and power, and secondly, on their background. Those of the untouchable caste are not eligible to be team leaders.”

Salman: “Everyone must adhere to this rule; it’s what Amir desires. If any untouchable dares to defy, Amir will execute them!”

With this statement, the Chat Channel erupted in cheers.

“Wow! Amir is so wise!” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“That’s right! This is how it should be!”

Seeing this, Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

The caste oppression and internal divisions within the Third World were clear.

Yet, they outwardly proclaimed themselves as a free nation, which was quite peculiar!

Salman: “Alright, everyone, form your teams quickly and head to the Level 8 Ferocious Beast area to help!”

“Salman, we’re already on our way!”

“Salman, what’s Amir’s current Level progress?”

Salman: “He’s currently at Level 7 (170/18,000)!”

“Oh my goodness! It takes 18,000 points of energy to reach Level 8!”

“Terror! This is truly terrifying!”

Salman: “That’s why Amir needs everyone’s help. Depending on him alone to find Ferocious Beasts, we don’t know when he’ll reach Level 8.”

Salman: “But don’t worry! Killing a Level 8 Ferocious Beast yields about 300 points of energy. With Amir’s strength, he can easily kill a Level 8 Ferocious Beast.”

“Of course! Amir is a dual-talent expert. He awakened a B-rank and a C-rank talent, and he’s a yogi who has opened the tenth gate of the Rythmic Sound Yoga, making him extremely powerful.”

“Yeah! As long as Amir is willing, he can take on a Level 9 Ferocious Beasts. However, he chose to hunt Level 9 Ferocious Beast to Level up faster.”

Salman: “So, when you find a Ferocious Beast, just report the coordinates, and you don’t need to engage with the Ferocious Beast. Amir will arrive promptly. Therefore, you won’t be in much danger.”

“Haha! We understand! Everyone, let’s go!”

“Charge! Charge to the Level 8 Ferocious Beast territory!”

“Defeat the Dragon Nation! Defeat those weaklings!”

“Haha! We’ve already won! We’re definitely going to win!”

At this moment, the people from the Third World cheered as if victory was already in their hands.

Some Dragon Nation observers wore troubled expressions.

That Amir was indeed too powerful.

But Qin Feng chuckled in secret.

These people from the Third World were too self-assured.
