NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 20 - Unexpected Gains
Chapter 20 – Unexpected Gains
Thinking about this, Qin Feng suddenly felt a bit tired. He had been running around all day, engaged in continuous battles, so claiming he wasn’t tired would be a lie. It seemed he needed to rest for a while, regain some strength, and then continue his actions …
Fifteen minutes later, inside the valley, Qin Feng set up a campfire. Four wild boar legs on top of it were sizzling with dripping oil.
The aroma of the meat wafted through the air, filling the surroundings. Qin Feng sat by the campfire and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Since his arrival here, everything like his phone had been confiscated by the heavens. Only his cigarettes and lighter remained on him.
He lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and a flame sprang forth from his fingertip. This was flame manipulation!
After lighting the cigarette, he took a deep drag, then exhaled a long plume of smoke, feeling extremely content.
Calculating the time, it was likely that the sun was setting outside, and it was getting dark. With a thought, Qin Feng entered the Chat Channel.
At this moment, the channel was still lively, but the topics had changed.
“Ah~! So tired! I can’t walk anymore!”
“I can’t move either. We’ve been hunting ferocious beasts all day, and it’s exhausting.”
“It’s getting dark, we should take a break. If we keep this up, we won’t be able to hold on!”
“Yeah! We’ll have to level up tomorrow!”
“Sob~! Sob~! Sob~! I only reached Level 1 (67/100) on the first day, and reaching Level 2 seems so distant. The first day is about to end, and I’m worried I won’t reach Level 10 in seven days!”
“Hey, the girl above, don’t worry. I’m only Level 1 (71/100) too. We can go to hell together, becoming a pair of ill-fated lovebirds!”
“Ah, it’s so tough! To level up, I dare not rest, but my body is too tired to endure!”
“Weird! Did you guys notice? The whole day is about to end, and I haven’t felt hungry at all, just exhaustion.”
“Yeah, I noticed too!”
“Hehe! What’s so strange about it? We gain energy by killing ferocious beasts, even more than we get from eating. Naturally, we don’t feel hungry. But no matter how much energy we gain, it can’t offset the fatigue in our bodies; we still need to rest!”
“The guy above is spot on! It seems we can’t go without resting!”
Qin Feng silently read to this point and found it reasonable.
Endless battles were unsustainable; the human body couldn’t endure it. In any case, humans were not strong enough yet and needed proper rest to recover their strength.
Just then, the scent of roasted meat wafted over.
The meat was ready!
Qin Feng left the Chat Channel.
Looking at the golden, oily roasted meat, his appetite was greatly aroused. He cut a piece of roasted meat with a sword and started eating.
The roasted meat of the ferocious beast had an excellent texture – it was fatty but not greasy, and it had a satisfying chewiness. Qin Feng tried a bite, instantly fell in love with it, and began devouring it with great enthusiasm, his mouth covered in oil …
After the cooked meat went down his stomach, he immediately felt a surge of warmth flowing through his limbs and body.

…
“Huh! What’s this?”
Qin Feng heard a prompt from the Heavenly Dao in his mind. At the same time, he realized that after eating a few bites of cooked meat, his stamina was recovering at an extremely fast rate, and he was no longer as tired as before.
It turns out that when stamina is depleted, you can quickly recover by eating cooked food! This discovery was incredibly useful!
Qin Feng was overjoyed and quickly devoured the cooked meat.
In just a moment, he had consumed two pounds of cooked meat, and his stamina was completely restored, reaching its peak again.
[Announcement: The novice Qin Feng has discovered a life hack – eating roasted meat can rapidly restore stamina. As the first discoverer, Qin Feng is awarded 1 point of prestige!]
At that moment, an announcement from the Heavenly Dao sounded in the minds of every participant. This left everyone stunned, including Qin Feng.
It could be done like this?!
He hadn’t expected that he could gain prestige points so easily. This was too effortless!
Soon, the Chat Channel exploded with excitement.
“Damn! So eating roasted meat can quickly restore stamina!”
“Haha!! That’s great! We’ve finally found a way to quickly recover stamina!”
“Prestige is extremely precious! Qin Feng is really lucky!”
“Yeah! How did he discover this life hack? Why wasn’t it me who found it first?”
“Prestige! 1 point of prestige! Such a precious thing, and I missed it!”
“Hehe! Don’t envy or hate him! Today, we were all out hunting ferocious beasts with all our might. How many people could be so leisurely, thinking about eating roasted meat?”
“That’s right! It seems Qin Feng is quite relaxed!”
“Previously, I pondered as to why Qin Feng’s name turned gray, and his ranking kept dropping? It turns out that he’s hiding somewhere, enjoying life!”
“While we’re struggling for our lives, Qin Feng is leisurely like he’s on vacation!”
“Yeah! Envious! It’s really admirable!”
“Enough talk! I’m looking for food! I need to restore my stamina!”
While everyone was chatting enthusiastically, the Heavenly Dao issued another announcement.
[Announcement: Reminder for newcomers, only eating cooked food and drinking hot water can rapidly restore stamina. Eating raw and cold food is ineffective!]
[Announcement: Super-Space Trading Channel is now open!]
This news set the Chat Channel on fire once again.
“Damn! Only cooked food works, and I don’t have a fire source!”
“Yeah! We don’t have anything to make fire!”
“Who knows flame manipulation? Light a fire for me!”
“Hey, the guy upstairs, are you stupid? We had someone who could use flame manipulation in the newbie village, but only Liu Yunchang had it, and he got killed by the Fanged Wild Boars!”
“Oh no! I need to rub sticks together to make a fire!”
“Darn! If only cooked food works, do I have to roast my apples?”
“Damn! The bloke upstairs, do you still have apples? Did you bring them carry them from Blue Star?”
“Everyone, I just tried rubbing sticks together, it doesn’t work, and my hands are now blistered. Does anyone have a lighter? I’ll pay a good price, let’s trade on the Super-Space Trading Channel!”
“Yeah! Super-Space Trading Channel is open. Very resourceful!”
While everyone was engrossed in the discussion, several more announcements popped up.
[Announcement: The novice Qin Feng has listed a new product on the Super-Space Trading Channel. Exchange three pounds of roasted meat for one corpse of a Level 2 ferocious beast.]
[Announcement: Newcomer Qin Feng is the first to use the Super-Space Trading Channel, and is rewarded with 1 point of prestige!]
