“Treasure chest?” Ye Chen did not expect that there would be treasure chests after killing the beasts. Why did it seem like an online game?

Initially, he wanted to open the treasure chest directly. However, he suddenly thought of something and stared at the treasure chest. After a while, golden words appeared again.

[Safe Wooden Treasure Chest. There are food, water, materials, and a blueprint.]

“Are there any unsafe Wooden Treasure Chests?”

Seeing this, Ye Chen was very glad that he had this golden finger. Otherwise, if he was to open any dangerous treasure chests in the future, he would be a laughing stock in Heaven.

This also warned him that he had to be cautious in the wilderness, even if it didn’t seem dangerous.

Seeing that it was safe, Ye Chen did not hesitate and directly opened the wooden chest. Indeed, three items were there and appeared in front of him.

There were three bottles of water and each bottle was labeled as one liter. There was a fiery red stone that was not big and was about the size of a baby’s fist. There was also a blueprint called a Superior Bone Blade Blueprint.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Ye Chen’s face. The water in the wilderness had unknown substances. Without any special method, he did not dare to drink it.

Although he did not know what this fiery red stone was, he was certain that it was definitely not bad.

“The host has obtained a blueprint. Does the host want to make it automatically?”

The system’s voice sounded again. Ye Chen raised his brows. “This thing can be made automatically?”

Subsequently, Ye Chen picked up the blueprint and took a look. He saw that it was full of random runes. He felt dizzy as he read it.

The blueprint turned into a white light and entered Ye Chen’s mind and a message appeared.

[Superior Bone Blade Blueprint]

[Grade: D, Tenacious Beast Bone: 1 / 1]

[Iron: 0 / 1]

[Copper: 0 / 1]

[Quenching Stone: 1 / 1]

“I can only go to the exchange section to take a look but I will have to deal with the body of the Rhinoceros Boar first.”

After making up his mind, he immediately made his move. He called for the Divine Phoenix and used its sharp claws to cut off the horn of the Rhinoceros Boar. Then, he cut off a few pieces from the Rhinoceros Boar and planned to trade them. Currently, food was a strong currency.

Fortunately, the Rhinoceros Boar was huge and had a lot of meat. After dividing up twenty portions, he decided to put them on sale. He opened the system panel and went straight to the Exchange Option. He noticed that there were already people who had put some items on sale. However, most of them were materials. There was not a single piece of food. It was also possible for the food to be sold as soon as it was put on sale.

Seller: Ye Chen

[Exchange Goods: Rhino Pork Slab]

[Requirement: 3 Coppers]

[Alternative/Backup: 5 Iron Blocks]

[Selection: 1 Quenching Stone]

[Remaining quantity: 30]

Copper was much more expensive than iron, so this price was relatively fair. As for the Quenching Stone, it was just a reserve item. It was good to have it but it didn’t matter if he didn’t have it.

Although this exchange rate was a little high, most of the mutated beasts were unable to fight with the wild beasts at this stage of the game. Food had become a necessity.

This phenomenon would only last in the early stages and would gradually fade away as the mutated beasts grow.

As soon as Ye Chen opened the World Channel, messages flooded like water.

“I’m starving. I was just strolling around when I realized that my mutated beasts are like little babies in the wilderness. I have to support them when they walk, let alone fight. If not for my protection, I would have become food for the wild beasts.”

“I’m dying of thirst. I drank some plant juice just now. Who would have thought that my entire mouth would be numb and even thirstier?”

“My luck here is quite good. I found a fruit tree. After eating it, my stomach is a little crippled. The rest is fine.”

“I realized that the Protection of the Wilderness has its flaws too. When I was looking for food just now, I was slapped by the ape and the energy in my body has greatly depleted.”

“What the f*ck, what did I just find! There’s actually someone selling food in the Exchange Option and it’s meat!”

“What? Meat? A whole 30 portions of meat? Oh my god!”

“Heavens! It hasn’t even been a day, yet someone has already killed a wild beast?”

“Rhinoceros Boar? Someone here also had hatched a Rhinoceros Boar. Could it be that someone went crazy from hunger and slaughtered their own beast? Heavens!”

“The comment above is wrong. From the moment you drip your own blood on the egg, the contract takes effect. If you want to kill your own mutated beast, you will find out that it will leave you. Don’t ask me how I know.”

“Looks like someone above has a story too…”

After Ye Chen put the Rhinoceros Pork on the table, it didn’t take long for the World Channel to descend into an uproar. And soon, there were 999+ messages and everyone was in shock.

After all, it hadn’t even been a day and someone had already killed a wild beast.

Not long after, Ye Chen’s mind was filled with the notifications from the system.

[The transaction of a Rhino Pork Block was successful. Obtained: 3 Coppers]

[Successful transaction of a Rhino Pork Block. Obtained: 5 Iron Blocks]

[The transaction of a Rhino Pork Block was successful. Obtained: 3 Coppers]

[Successful transaction of a Rhino Pork Block. Obtained: 5 Iron Blocks]

Seeing that the meat on the shelves was so popular and that he had all the materials he needed, Ye Chen immediately took down the items from the Exchange Option.

Those who didn’t manage to snatch it were so angry that they thought the meat had been bought by someone else and cursed the person to death.

Many people in the World Channel were asking Ye Chen if he had any extra food and were willing to pay a high price to buy it.

Ye Chen pretended to not see it. No one was a businessman without some tricks. Seeing that the food was so popular, the next time it was put on sale, it would be worth more.

Now that he had all the materials, it was time to make the Bone Blade. He hoped that the Bone Blade he was spending so much on to make would not disappoint him.

“Make the Bone Blade.”

[Superior Bone Blade Blueprint]

[Grade: D, Tenacious Beast Bone: 1 / 1]

[Iron: 20 / 1]

[Copper: 12 / 1]

[Quenching Stone: 1 / 1]

Swoosh!

As the system’s voice sounded in his mind, a short blade appeared in front of Ye Chen.

The originally thick and heavy Rhino Horn had disappeared, replaced by a short sword that was half a finger thick. It emitted a cold light and there was a blood groove in the middle that was blood red.

Ye Chen picked up his short sword and dashed towards the nearest tree.

Swoosh!

A tree as thick as a Rhino’s Leg was cut in half. The cut was as flat as a mirror.

“Not bad, not bad. As expected of a weapon produced by the system.”

After a simple test, Ye Chen was full of praise for the short sword created by the system.

Gulp…

His stomach growled. He had been so focused on handling the Bone Blade that he had almost forgotten that he hadn’t eaten yet.

Ye Chen had a thought when he saw the fallen tree and the meat.

“Sun God Envoy, light the fire! Let’s have a barbecue today!”

With the Bone Blade, Ye Chen quickly cut the wood and arranged it neatly. He called out and the Immortal Phoenix chirped happily. It flapped its wings and spat out a line of fire that was full of vibrancy.

Soon, the aroma of roasted meat spread.
