Chapter 165 - First Day’s Results (2/2)

This species typically lived in solitude but from time to time, one could b.u.mp into a group of three to five beetles, travelling together. This would only occur after a particularly intense fight where enough blood was split that it could attract and sustain a group of these beetles.

Somehow, Qin Feng’s fight was detected by these darned beetles. An interesting thing to note was that these beetles did not feast on the blood of their fellow insectoids; they would only consume blood of humans and ultra beasts

“p.i.s.s off!”

Several beams of fire erupted from the ground, knocking out a handful of these bloodthirsty beetles from the air.

Confirming that the coast was clear, Qin Feng proceeded to pry off the armor plates of the beast generals he had freshly slain in order to obtain the crystal cores within. After he was done with that, he ran back in the direction from where he came.

At this point, littered across the ground were the charred remains of the armored ants. Qin Feng’s consciousness kicked into frenzy mode as he went around looting precious materials dropped by these unsightly bugs.

Though, shortly after his looting spree had started, the insectoids seemed to have gone into a frenzy of its own.

Qin Feng whipped out his communicator to check the time.

It was already 8pm, night time.

“Guess I’ll come back here tomorrow!” With a wave of his hand, the umbra stallion trotted over to Qin Feng’s side silently, followed by Bai Li. Both of them then climbed onto the horse with Bai Li sitting in front.

Soon, they left Han Town without facing any obstructions.

The provisional colony set up outside Han Town was brightly lit during the night and was a place where battle achievements were recorded. Every day, people would gather here to claim fresh rewards upon completing a seemingly never-ending stream of quests.

A simple room next to the projector screen where battle rankings were displayed was where the people of Chengbei Colony were gathered. From there, they would be able to observe the acc.u.mulation of merits each time a new quest was completed.

“Senior Gao, your team’s reaping a great big reward today!” Lu Meng said with a gleeful smile on his face.

A crowd of people sitting around in a circle was busy grilling meat skewers over a fire. There must have been at least a dozen of them there, including Gao Linghan and Li Yaoyao’s teams. On the other side sat Lu Meng, Zhou Hao, Zhang Tianche, Zhao Yu and the rest.

It was an odd group, made up of people from different age groups and from different circles. However, because of the fact that Lu Meng had now become part of Zhou Hao’s stationary force, as well her close relations.h.i.+p with Li Yaoyao, everyone sat together to share good food as well as to trade insider’s information they had heard of with each other.

“It isn’t too bad!” Gao Linghan nodded slightly but a look of delight was clearly reflecting off his eyes.

He led his team on a hunt-and-destroy mission earlier today and together, they had killed quite a lot of bugs, around a thousand of them.

While a thousand kills was by no means a big deal, one should keep in mind that they had only arrived after noon. Within a span of a few hours, killing such an amount would make them one of the most deadly apt.i.tude users from Chengbei.

“Though, why isn’t Qin Feng, a member of your team, together with you?” Gao Linghan’s eyes showed hints of doubt and curiosity.

Zhou Hao was gnawing on a perfectly grilled chicken wing as he replied casually. “He went off with Bai Li to hunt bugs on their own. That lunatic now seeks only F-tier bugs to kill, so naturally, he isn’t going along well with our team!”

Gao Linghan’s smile stiffened.

With furrowed brows, Li Yaoyao mocked Zhou Hao. “For Qin Feng to act this way, is it because you guys are holding him back during battle? I’m sure it wouldn’t be the case if it were up to Senior Gao!”

Zhou Hao smirked but chose to remain silent.

It was then that Zhang Tianche, who sat nearby, broke the silence. “Qin Feng’s back!”

“Ah? Where’s he?” Zhou Hao spat out a piece of chicken bone and craned his neck backward, he could immediately spot Qin Feng.

Perhaps this was because Qin Feng stood out from the crowd. No, it was not Qin Feng that stuck out like a sore thumb but Bai Li, who was currently snuggled between his arms.

Riding on the umbra stallion’s back, Bai Li was sporting a white s.h.i.+rt that glimmered in silver, as if it was woven from the rays of moonlight. That, coupled with her unrivalled beauty meant that n.o.body was able to take their eyes off of her no matter how hard they tried.

“So you’re back huh, Qin Feng? How are your results of today?” Zhou Hao hurriedly followed up with a question.

Everyone on the scene perked up their ears.

“I haven’t reported it yet but here, have a look yourself!” Qin Feng pa.s.sed his communicator to one of the staff members that handled battle reports.

The machine produced a series of beeping sounds which ended abruptly, meaning that the calculations had been finalised.

“Beep Beep Beep”

[Review completed. Your battle achievement: 2602 points!]

This did not come as too much of a surprise for Qin Feng. Though, he had only recorded down the number needed for his F-tier apt.i.tude user badge, which was two hundred forty F-tier ultra beasts. The remaining results must have come from unfortunate beasts that he had accidentally slain in the midst of battle!

“Pretty brilliant, you are!” Zhou Hao said as he stared at the number on the screen.

And yet, Gao Linghan did not acknowledge Qin Feng’s results for the day.

“For you to return so late, with so many additional hours on the hunting ground. If it were up to me, I’d be able to surpa.s.s that number effortlessly!”

Though, Gao Linghan missed out on one essential point. On the hunting ground, he was fighting with an entire team with him being an F-tier user while the rest of his cla.s.smates were G8, G9-tier users!
