Ye Shen, standing beside him, looked on with curiosity and asked, "Are these items very magical? Can they see my combat power? How much is it?"
Qin Feng handed the items to Ye Shen and then said indifferently, "Your combat power is 50!"
"What? Only 50?" Ye Shen was a little disappointed. After so many days of arduous training, her combat power had only increased by a few points. She quickly looked at Qin Feng with the item.
Then she exclaimed in surprise, "My heavens, how magical! Your combat power can be seen at a glance with this item. You have 1000 combat power!"
After saying this, she realized something was amiss and scratched her head, saying, "That's not right. Your combat power is clearly between 1000 and 2000. Why does this item only show a value of 1000? Could it be that it cannot detect a person's strongest combat power?"
Qin Feng nodded and said, "This item is not very useful; it's quite a chicken rib. It truly cannot detect how much combat power a person has when they exert their full strength, nor can it check how much combat power an item gains when it unleashes its power. Therefore, if this item is used to evaluate a person's strength, there will be a major misjudgment. However, it is still somewhat useful for ordinary monsters or common people, just not very useful for us!"
Ye Shen nodded and said, "If it were ordinary monsters, with your current combat power, you could kill them instantly. If it were powerful monsters or people, using this item to judge them would lead to major misjudgments and could bring us danger. This kind of thing is simply a deception."
Qin Feng took the item in his hand, then threw it into his storage ring. Although this item was a chicken rib to him, it was somewhat useful to others and might bring him some benefits in the future. Anyway, his storage ring had a large capacity, and he didn't mind adding one more item. As long as it was a treasure, he accepted anything and everything.
The two continued to walk forward, following the planned route to the next Level 1 spiritual energy gathering point.
Not long after they had walked, they encountered several Red Alert soldiers waiting in the middle of the road. These were the Red Alert soldiers Qin Feng had sent to escort the blood-red tree. They had finally rendezvoused here.
Qin Feng explained to Ye Shen, who was very curious. She climbed onto the tree and examined it carefully.
This blood-red tree had no special features other than being very fragrant. She scratched her head, wondering why such a tree could attract mutated monsters.
Since she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it, and they continued on their way.
On the way to the next Level 1 spiritual energy gathering point, a mutated monster suddenly attacked them. The monster's objective was simple: the blood-red tree. It wanted to kill Qin Feng and the surrounding Red Alert soldiers to claim the blood-red tree for itself.
Ye Shen was thoroughly frightened by this sudden turn of events.
However, Qin Feng was completely unfazed. With his current strength, ordinary mutated monsters were no match for him. When the monster prepared to ambush, he already knew. He directly drew his peerless sword and slew it with one strike. His reputation increased by another point.
Ye Shen, standing beside him, sighed, "This mutated monster is much stronger than ordinary monsters. If it were just me, I might not have been able to react at all. Its speed is too fast. Such mutated monsters are too terrifying!"
Qin Feng said, "That's right. Mutated monsters are all very special. Some are very fast, some can use magic attacks, and some are incredibly strong. Compared to ordinary monsters, each mutated monster has its unique aspects. It is precisely because of this that they can drop reputation points! Unfortunately, so far, I have only killed ordinary mutated monsters, and I only get 1 reputation point. At this rate, it will take a long time to accumulate 10,000 reputation points."
Ye Shen, hearing this, seemed indifferent. She said, "It doesn't matter. Items that defy fate are not only available in the reputation store. As long as you kill high-level monsters, you might obtain them. Even ordinary commander-level monsters, if you're lucky, might drop a fate-defying item from a bronze treasure chest. You don't need to worry about my situation; I'll find a way myself. If you find something you like in the reputation store, don't be stingy; just buy it with reputation. You don't need to save reputation for me to buy the Bodhisattva's Tear!"
Although Ye Shen said this, she was also very touched.
Her teammate was always thinking of her. If she didn't only have one year left to live, she would have wanted to marry him. This was something she would never have even considered before. But after spending this time together, she understood very well that the person in front of her was someone she could entrust her life to, someone who could give her happiness. If one day her strength could grow to be comparable to his, and her lifespan was no longer limited, she would bravely pursue her happiness. But not now.
She didn't know when she might die, and she couldn't drag this man down.
Thus, they walked for a while longer and finally reached the Level 1 spiritual energy gathering point.
This time, it wasn't a person but a commander-level monster. Qin Feng didn't even need to act personally. He commanded the Red Alert legion to fire 100 shells, quickly killing the monster. They also gained experience and money, but unfortunately, they didn't drop a bronze treasure chest.
They continued to move forward, heading towards the third Level 1 spiritual energy gathering point.
This time, they were luckier. The commander-level monster they encountered not only dropped experience and money but also a bronze treasure chest.
Although bronze treasure chests were of low level, there was still a chance to get good items from them. Everything depended on luck. Qin Feng planned to open them all at once when he accumulated enough, to save himself the time of opening them one by one.
Thinking of luck, Qin Feng suddenly remembered a pill in the reputation store called a Luck Pill, which could increase one's luck.
If he had enough reputation, could he buy many Luck Pills and open items that were only available in golden treasure chests from bronze treasure chests?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng felt it was possible.
If a person's luck was good enough, they could indeed open items from higher-level treasure chests from bronze treasure chests. However, it was not easy to improve one's luck. One Luck Pill cost 50 reputation points, and he only had 6 reputation points now. Even if he reached 50 reputation points and bought one Luck Pill, the luck generated by one Luck Pill might not be enough to get good items from a bronze treasure chest.
At most, it would increase the chance of getting good items by a little. To reach the point of getting items from golden treasure chests, the number of Luck Pills required would be astronomical.
As Qin Feng was thinking, Ye Shen asked, "Are we heading to the next Level 1 spiritual energy gathering point?"
Qin Feng picked up his small notebook, glanced at it, and said, "No, the next one is a Level 2 spiritual energy gathering point!"
