Battle for Supremacy Across Realms: From Novice Village to Lord of the Gods

The chat channel exploded instantly.

"I can't believe my eyes! The powerful Qin Emperor himself spoke!"

"The big shot is so low-key; every word he utters is crucial!"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm going to find the corpse of a level 2 ferocious beast right now!"

"Hurry up! If you're too late, there won't even be any scraps left!"

Upon hearing that the quantity was limited, everyone became extremely anxious.

Emperor Qin casually typed out the second line.

"Buying a beginner's short knife; 6 jin of roasted meat in exchange for one."

After sending the message, he immediately left the chat channel.

The people left on Channel 1 were all stunned.

"Holy crap! They can trade a piece of junk like a beginner's short knife for roasted meat?"

"I always thought this broken knife would be unwanted even if it were thrown on the ground, but I never expected that a big shot would actually buy it!"

"Whoa! I picked up a handful and then threw them away, now I'm going to dig them up again!"

"Hahaha! I happen to have an extra one! Here I come, grilling meat!"

Emperor Qin made a simple setting in the transaction backend and then ignored it.

He used what he had on hand, cut up four more rabbit legs and put them on the shelf, continuing to expand his business.

An hour passed.

His barbecue stand is incredibly popular.

In just one hour, he traded twenty-one level 2 ferocious beast corpses and four beginner short swords, making a fortune.

Emperor Qin was very satisfied.

These are just appetizers.

He still had a batch of Tier 1 fine steel knives that he hadn't used yet.

The most urgent task right now is to dispose of these beast corpses.

With a thought, Emperor Qin took out all twenty-one ferocious beast corpses, preparing to extract them in batches and max out their attributes in one go.

Twenty-one ferocious beast corpses were neatly stacked on the open ground.

Blastoise, Green-haired Giant Tortoise, Bucktooth Lynx, Clawed Black Monkey, Wild Bull, Red-toothed Black Dog

All six level-two ferocious beasts were gathered.

There are at least three of each type, covering almost all common level-two ferocious beasts in the beginner area.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Emperor Qin completed the batch extraction.

With a faint trace of the ferocious beast's blood still clinging to his fingertips, he immediately summoned his attribute panel, his gaze sweeping over the rows of data, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

[Name] Qin Dilin

[Combat Strength Assessment] 9 stars

Emperor Qin gently stroked his chin with his fingertips, feeling a surge of joy in his heart, but his face remained calm and composed.

However, after one round of batch extraction, the combat power directly soared from eight stars to nine stars, and advanced another level without any hindrance. This speed of improvement is unique in the entire novice area.

With his current strength, let alone dealing with these level-two ferocious beasts, he would be confident enough to escape unscathed even if he forced his way into the territory of a level-five ferocious beast.

These level-two ferocious beasts, whose potential has been completely exhausted, are no longer of interest to him. Spending time hunting them would be a waste of energy.

Emperor Qin directly opened the trading channel and lightly modified the exchange rules with a tap of his finger.

The previous rule of exchanging three catties of roasted meat for one level-two ferocious beast corpse has been changed to exchanging ten catties of roasted meat for one level-three ferocious beast corpse.

After changing the rules, he casually switched to the public chat channel. As soon as he entered, a particularly eye-catching message popped up, causing him to raise an eyebrow slightly.

Selling barbecue! Fifty pounds of barbecue can be exchanged for a Tier 1 piece of equipment, first come, first served!

As soon as the message was sent, the channel exploded, filled with complaints and condemnations.

Are you still half asleep? You think you can exchange fifty pounds of roasted meat for Tier 1 equipment? Dream on!

The drop rate of ferocious beasts in the newbie zone is pitifully low, and Tier 1 equipment is already extremely rare. Are you treating everyone like suckers?

Qin Dilin is truly honest; he only accepts the corpses of ferocious beasts that others would disdain in exchange for roasted meat—a fair and honest way to do business.

Exactly! I have enough equipment to keep for my own survival, and I only buy barbecue from Boss Qin. I will never tolerate such unscrupulous merchants.

Before long, the person who was bidding a high price was silenced by the crowd's criticism.

Qin Dilin looked at the messages on the public chat, fully aware of the situation. Barbecue was a basic necessity for survival in the newbie zone, so it was perfectly normal for someone to be envious and try to steal his business; he wasn't worried at all.

While others scramble to trade for roasted meat and equipment, he specializes in collecting unwanted ferocious beast corpses that take up backpack space. This unique advantage is unmatched, ensuring a steady profit during the beginner phase.

He quickly typed out a line of text and sent it directly to the public chat, instantly silencing the noisy flame war.

Dear friends, effective immediately, we will no longer accept Level 2 ferocious beast corpses, but will instead accept Level 3 ferocious beast corpses. One corpse can be exchanged for ten catties of roasted meat. This offer is valid indefinitely.

The public chat was silent for half a second, then a flood of wails and lamentations filled the screen.

Boss Qin, how could you just stop collecting like that?! I risked my life to get a level two ferocious beast corpse, and now all that work has been for nothing!

Wow, this guy has leveled up and taken off! There aren't many people who can beat a level three ferocious beast now. With this higher threshold, we can't trade with you at all!

Damn it, we can't beat a level three ferocious beast. We can only go back to eating raw meat and painstakingly making fire by rubbing sticks together. These days are too hard to bear!

Alright, I guess I'll just have to tough it out on my own. Once I'm able to kill a level three ferocious beast, I'll come back to the big shots and ask for their help in making a deal.

Before the wailing of the crowd had even subsided, Qin Dilin casually sent another message, which completely blew up the entire chat channel.

You can sell a lighter for three Tier 1 spirit herbs, or one Tier 1 spirit fruit, or exchange it for Tier 1 equipment.

In the beginner area, fire is extremely scarce, and lighters are essential for survival. They are indispensable for starting fires to roast meat, keeping warm at night, and driving away low-level ferocious beasts.

As soon as this message came out, everyone went completely crazy. The chat was flooded with messages so fast that the complete text was impossible to read.

Lighters! They're life-saving treasures, practically the source of life!

With a lighter, there's no need to go through the arduous task of rubbing sticks together to start a fire anymore. Not only can you grill as much meat as you want, but you can also use it to keep wild animals at night. It's so delicious!

What's going on with Mr. Qin? Selling lighters is practically cutting off his own barbecue business, isn't it? Did I read that right?

I was really tempted, but unfortunately I had no spirit herbs or fruits, not even a single piece of Tier 1 equipment, so I could only stare at it helplessly!

The lighter that others treasured was nothing more than a useless burden to Emperor Qin.

He possesses a talent for controlling flames; with a thought, he can ignite a fire, making it easy to start a fire and roast meat. Leaving a lighter in his backpack is just taking up space; he might as well exchange it for real advanced supplies.

He chuckled, put the lighter on the trading channel, then left the noisy public chat and found a secluded flat area to start a campfire.

A quarter of an hour later, the campfire crackled, and Qin Dilin picked up several rusty, novice-made short knives he had picked up.

Activating the SSS-level Endless Extraction talent, the rust and impurities on the blade were instantly stripped away, and the originally dull and broken blade was transformed in the blink of an eye into a first-tier refined steel blade with a chilling light and an imposing sharpness.
