A gatherer approached, counted the materials, and nodded.
"Boss, the number of materials is correct."
Xia Yi Wu Shuang raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
"Consider yourself wise. Now get lost!"
Since the other party was so obedient, he didn't bother to act.
"Let the Xia Yi Guild leave a good reputation."
Just as the master gatherer was about to pass by them, a player who was gathering suddenly exclaimed.
"No, there are no hearts in here!"
Xia Yi Wu Shuang said indifferently, "What's the use of a wild boar's heart?"
The gatherer's voice was urgent.
"I found a recipe before, and a secret medicine can be made using wild boar hearts. Its stats permanently increase constitution."
This statement caused Xia Yi Wu Shuang's expression to change drastically.
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"
He cursed out loud.
"Damn it, I almost ruined everything!"
Xia Yi Ben Se, with his keen senses, immediately blocked the master gatherer, his voice laced with a chilling edge.
"Kid, we were kind enough to let you go, and you dare to trick us?"
The master gatherer was stunned and shook his head.
"I didn't see any hearts."
The master gatherer's eyes flickered.
He remembered seeing Lin Feng fighting monsters, and it seemed that a few of his summoned creatures had swallowed the hearts one after another.
Although Lin Feng was the strongest player he had ever seen, this group of bandits had over a dozen people.
No matter how strong a god-tier player was, he would likely be powerless against them.
Since they had generously given him such a great benefit, how could he betray Lin Feng?
Xia Yi Ben Se grabbed the master gatherer by the collar, his face contorted.
This secret medicine was the key to his rise.
But now the wild boar hearts were gone?
How could he tolerate this?
"You b-"
It seemed these people were planning to lie in wait and rob the god-tier player.
He secretly sent a message to Lin Feng.
"God-tier player, there are people from the Xia Yi Alliance in the wild boar area blocking you. They want to rob the wild boar hearts. There are more than a dozen of them. Please find another way to leave."
Lin Feng's expression turned instantly cold upon seeing the message from the master gatherer.
He was not surprised by the Xia Yi Alliance's predatory tactics.
In his previous life, these people had been overbearing, leaving players unable to voice their anger.
But in this life...
Messing with his subordinates, and even trying to deal with him?
That was courting death!
As he walked, he observed the attributes of his Yellow Turban Warrior.
He was very much looking forward to the changes after it fused with the wild boar boss.
Yellow Turban Warrior
Level: 1
Damage: 60
Health: 350
Mana: 50
Defense: 40
Skills: Immovable Mountain, Rage Heavy Hammer, Divine Power Incarnation.
Special Skill: Life Evolution.
Its current health and defense were even better than the wild boar boss from before.
It also had a new area-of-effect skill, Rage Heavy Hammer.
Lin Feng was more than happy to show those who provoked him the power of his Yellow Turban Warrior!
Xia Yi Ben Se tallied the quantities his subordinates had gathered and reported to Xia Yi Wu Shuang.
"Boss, all the materials from 21 wild boars have been gathered."
"Including what that kid collected, it's a total of 14 wild boar hides and 9 tusks."
"Selling them to the village NPC will yield about 160 copper coins."
Xia Yi Wu Shuang nodded, quite satisfied.
After occupying the hedgehog area for several hours, the overall harvest was less than 100 copper coins.
Just simple gathering in the wild boar area had already surpassed that.
Indeed, one had to challenge stronger monsters.
Moreover, these materials could be used to complete some collection-type quests in town.
These were all cultivation points.
Would his own strength improvement be far off?
He was still annoyed by the thought of the secret medicine that permanently increased constitution.
"Has no one come yet?"
Two players guarding the path peeked inside.
"Not yet... Wait, someone's coming!"
Xia Yi Ben Se immediately perked up and led six players rushing forward.
When Lin Feng's figure appeared, the master gatherer closed his eyes in distress, blaming himself.
It was all his fault for attracting trouble and causing the god-tier player to be surrounded.
He hoped the god-tier player could escape if he saw the situation was unfavorable.
He made up his mind.
He would personally bear all the losses incurred by the god-tier player!
Lin Feng looked at the players surrounding him and felt a flicker of amusement.
He feigned confusion.
"What do you guys want?"
Xia Yi Ben Se was very cordial.
"Brother, which guild do you belong to?"
Lin Feng shook his head.
"I'm just a free agent, I don't belong to any guild."
Xia Yi Ben Se's smile vanished, and his expression turned unfriendly.
"If you're not a professional player from a guild, then it's easier to deal with."
"Have you collected any wild boar hearts from this area?"
Lin Feng looked enlightened. "Oh, hearts? I let my summoned creatures eat them all."
Xia Yi Ben Se's face stiffened.
"Eat them?"
"You let my mother's important material for making secret medicine be eaten by your summoned creatures?"
Lin Feng nodded, looking mysterious and very proud.
"To be honest, my summoned creature is too strong. After eating over twenty wild boar hearts, its HP actually increased by ten points."
Xia Yi Ben Se forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Ten... ten points?"
Lin Feng said proudly, "Amazing, right?"
"Although it only lasts until I log off, it has greatly strengthened my Yellow Turban Warrior."
Xia Yi Ben Se's heart skipped a beat.
"Ten more HP is a great strength boost?"
"This summoned creature is simply trash."
Xia Yi Wu Shuang walked over and examined Lin Feng from head to toe.
"Brother, as a free agent, you've managed to kill so many wild boars. Your strength is not bad."
He wanted to probe Lin Feng's strength.
"Killing so many wild boars, you must have some powerful trump cards."
He exaggeratedly gave a thumbs-up, with an appearance of sincerity.
"Brother, are you interested in joining a guild? I, Xia Yi Wu Shuang from the Xia Yi Alliance, sincerely invite you."
