Chapter 10: A Foodie’s Hope
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Jun checked under the corpse of the electric ray and several items appeared in his hands.
“+5 Silver coins!”
“Lightning Gloves: silver-grade (enhances lightning spell attacks by 30%)”
“Skill book: Palm Thunder!”
Ye Jun was surprised and delighted.
Even though he had long guessed that the boss-level monsters would most likely drop good things, he never expected that many goodies to be obtained.
Not only was there a skill book, there was also silver-grade equipment; that was probably the very first piece of silver-grade equipment!
As for silver coins, one silver coin was equivalent to a hundred copper coins.
It was just that the in-game store wasn’t open yet, so it was useless for now!
Meanwhile, the entire world channel was in an uproar.
After seeing the announcement, people all over the world gasped in cold air and immediately made an extraordinary contribution to the greenhouse effect.
Is this a joke?
Everyone was still worried about getting sustenance at that stage.
Even if there were some people with strong wilderness survival skills, the prey they hunted were some birds, rabbits, and other small game.
But then, someone had just killed a level five monster.
Even the alligator that Master Bear had hunted and killed was only a level two prey.
Level five? It was probably right along with tigers and lions!
It had also been a boss-level monster.
Anyone who played games knew that boss-level monsters were ten times more terrifying than normal monsters at the same level.
Oh my god!
Countless people were wailing, thinking there was simply no fairness!
They were still struggling to survive, while others were already killing everything!
What kind of a freak is this? To be more impressive than Master Bear!
Everyone had felt earlier on that Ye Jun wouldn’t survive for long, just like those other people who chose death mode. Things changed; since even a level five boss had been hunted, everyone started to think it was the rise of a super powerhouse.
Countless people began to speculate on Ye Jun’s identity.
Some thought that Ye Jun was a special forces soldier; others were guessing that Ye Jun was very likely an adventurer, a survival fanatic, while some were even thinking that Ye Jun was a super-soldier.
There were many different opinions on the channel.
Ye Jun felt at a loss for a moment, when he checked those speculations.
Countless people wanted to pay homage to Ye Jun, cozy up to him, and seek survival experience; some had even directly sent nudes.
Ye Jun clicked on the messages with a critical mind to take a look.
F***. A picture of a surgical artwork jaw that could poke through the earth nearly blinded Ye Jun’s eyes.
It really looks frightening…
Ye Jun turned off those inconsequential things and looked at his attributes.
His attributes had just changed dramatically again.
Player Ye Jun (Death Mode).
Titles Obtained:
Beginner Flame Controller. Fire Energy Level: 1 (20/100)
Flame Affinity: 10 (You can absorb 10 points of Fire Energy per day.)
Beginner Hunter. Hunter Level 2 (71/200)
Beginner Lightning Controller. Lightning Level 0 (0/10)
Lightning Affinity: 10.
Skill: Fireball
Skill: Palm Thunder
Endurance: 90, Speed: 90, Strength: 180.
A Flame Controller is a fire Mage, and a Lightning Controller would be a lightning Mage.
But, how should I absorb the energy of lightning?
Should I make a kite to attract lightning like Franklin?
Forget it!
If it really came to a violent storm and lightning, the first thing he’d have to worry about was to prevent the little raft from tipping over.
Ye Jun left that thought on the back burner and began to dismember the sea creature.
That electric ray, which was over six meters long, had a three meter long tail.
Ye Jun chopped off the electric ray’s tail with an ax and threw it onto the grill.
He then disemboweled the electric ray and buried all the fish innards under the strange fruit tree.
That was a tree with growth properties, and Ye Jun had high expectations for it.
Ye Jun then cut off a piece of about three catties of fish and threw it into the iron barrel for stewing, while the rest were all roasted.
That boss-level wild monster tasted quite good.
Ye Jun ate two catties of fish all at once and was still a bit unsatisfied, even after drinking all the soup.
Ye Jun’s meal size had increased quite a bit, matching his stronger self.
Moreover, he seemed to feel that his body was heating up, with his strength increasing after eating the fish.
He took a glance at his attributes and his strength became 180.5.
Surprisingly enough, it had really increased!
Although it was only 0.5, that was enough to show that the meat of high-level wild monsters could boost one’s strength.
That was only a level five electric ray; if it were a level ten, twenty, or even a higher level wild monster, the effect would definitely be stronger.
Ye Jun grilled all of the remaining fish, and after saving some for himself, he sent all the rest to the trading channel.
That electric ray had weighed several hundred pounds; he couldn’t possibly eat it all by himself. It wouldn’t have taken long for it to rot, so he might as well try to get something from it.
“Level five boss electric ray meat, consumption can raise strength, (2 catties of fish can increase 1 catty of strength, personally confirmed) in exchange for game supplies, equipment, copper coins, and all rare, exotic items!”
The post immediately caused a stir.
Since he had recently become a world celebrity, there was no telling how many people were watching him at all times.
Many people were a bit incredulous after seeing the trading information he had posted.
Eating the flesh of wild monsters can actually increase strength?
After a momentary daze, countless people became excited.
They could have a little more hope of hanging on in that survival game if they were stronger.
The whole world channel was abuzz!
“Eating meat makes you stronger! I think this game was made just for me!”
“Stop it, I’m going to eat! How can I get stronger without getting full?”
“Don’t be silly. If you want to eat you have to be able to hunt the prey first. The meat of low-level prey has no effect, and if you want to hunt level five prey… you should first consider whether you can beat the tiger!”
“I, Wu Song1 of Two Li Village, request to fight…”
“It’s impossible to hunt, not in this lifetime, but I can get a big shot to work for me. Big shot Ye Jun, I dug up a seven-colored mushroom yesterday, will you take it?”
“Stop, I’m not good at hunting, but I’m still good at gathering mountain goods. I’m here in Changbai Mountain and I’m going to get some ginseng. Remember to save some fish for me, big shot Ye Jun.”
“I have six copper coins, how many catties of fish can I get with them?”
“I’ve got a few coins too, no use keeping them anyway, might as well…”
Many people started sending messages to Ye Jun, requesting to trade the electric ray meat.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away on a deserted island—Master Ed, holding bow and arrow, shot two porcupines. He could not help but let out a strange cackle, but when he opened the chat channel and saw countless popular messages, he felt that the game in his hand was tasteless. His gaze could not help but look into the distance; sparks of lightning came off from his eyes as he saw the hordes of cougars…
