At this moment.
Several gatherers nearby trembled and walked over.
The one who seemed to be the leader, mustering courage, bent down and whispered.
"Big shot, we are just life players, we absolutely dare not oppose you!"
"Yeah, big shot, we didn't know that 'Xia Yi Wu Shuang' and the others were so shameless, daring to snatch your things."
"If we knew the truth, we would have reported to you long ago."
Some quick-witted ones had already taken out all the items they had gathered.
"Big shot, these are the materials we gathered unknowingly. They are all returned to their original owner."
Lin Feng's expression softened slightly, and he waved his hand.
"Forget it, stay away from the people of 'Xia Yi Alliance' in the future."
The gatherers showed signs of joy and nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you, big shot!"
"Thank you for your mercy, big shot!"
"We will absolutely never cooperate with scum like them again."
In front of Lin Feng, they quickly drew a clear line with the 'Xia Yi Alliance'.
Some even had a flash of inspiration.
"Big shot, can we work for you in the future? We will provide all gathered items at a price lower than market value."
Others' eyes lit up.
"Yeah, why didn't we think of that."
"This big shot is powerful and hates evil. If we can latch onto his thigh, wouldn't we be able to walk sideways in the game?"
Lin Feng asked indifferently.
"Do you have any gathering talents, and what level is your gathering skill now?"
Everyone lowered their heads, their voices gradually fading.
"I only have ordinary talent, and my gathering skill is not yet ranked."
"My gathering skill is still a large half of the proficiency away from promotion."
Lin Feng's voice turned cold.
"No talent, and you still want to learn gathering?"
The few people lowered their heads in shame and left sheepishly.
"Wuwu~"
"It's too difficult!"
"To be a lackey for a big shot, I'm not even qualified."
They envied the gathering masters immensely.
"This little fatty has such good luck."
Lin Feng looked at the materials on the ground, which were all wild boar hides, teeth, and other miscellaneous items, and frowned.
"I don't need these things either. Take them all."
The gathering master waved his hands in a panic.
"Big shot, I really don't deserve it."
Lin Feng feigned anger.
"Am I lacking these trifle things?"
The gathering master then accepted them with sincere gratitude.
After tidying up, he held a recipe with a surprised look.
"Big shot, this is a recipe they dug up just now. Using wild boar hearts, we can craft a secret medicine that permanently increases constitution!"
"Permanent attribute increase?"
Lin Feng's heart stirred.
"This is a good thing!"
Especially at the beginner village stage, on the first day of the server's launch.
Such a recipe could completely allow a player to significantly lead others.
Even with proper operation, it could allow a guild to seize the initiative.
He took the recipe and attempted to strengthen it with his cultivation.
"This item is a special recipe type. After amplification, it is limited to personal use. Do you wish to amplify it?"
Lin Feng did not have the time and energy to learn gathering skills for now.
Moreover.
The recipe clearly stated that each person could only use one secret medicine crafted from it.
Wasn't it more enjoyable to spend the hard-earned time fighting a few more bosses?
He returned the recipe to the gathering master with disinterest. "You learn it."
Seeing the other person about to refuse again, he glared.
The gathering master nodded solemnly, "Thank you, big shot. You are my boss from now on!"
Coincidentally, a wild boar spawned at Lin Feng's feet.
"-366!"
With just one sword, the wild boar died.
The gathering master, who witnessed all this, had a blank mind.
"So this is how big shots kill monsters?"
"Isn't this the wild boar that required an elite team to challenge? How come it's simpler than a hedgehog in the hands of a big shot?"
"It's too unbelievable!"
His expression became even more respectful.
A moment later, using the gathered hearts, he crafted five secret medicines.
After all, his main studies were gathering and alchemy, two auxiliary skills.
"Big shot, these are the secret medicines I've crafted."
Lin Feng took four and said, "You eat one too."
The gathering master was somewhat flattered.
"Big shot, how can I deserve this?"
Lin Feng said coldly.
"With your current strength, how can you be worthy of being my subordinate if you don't get stronger?"
The gathering master's eyes welled up, and he clenched his fists excitedly.
"I can finally be a subordinate of the big shot, so happy!"
Lin Feng nodded and looked at the secret medicine in his hand.
[Wild Boar's Toughness]
Level: Yellow Grade Secret Medicine
Description: This is a magical secret medicine refined from wild boar hearts. It can slightly increase the user's constitution. Each person can only use it once.
Lin Feng was about to use it when he suddenly had a thought.
"If the recipe is inconvenient to amplify, can this pill be amplified?"
"Ding, do you wish to consume 20 cultivation points to strengthen [Wild Boar's Toughness]?"
"It actually can!"
Lin Feng's breathing became a little rapid.
"Of course, I have to choose yes!"
Although pills were divided into Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow grades, and Yellow grade was the lowest tier.
It was an extremely precious treasure at the very beginning of the game's launch.
Judging solely by the cultivation points consumed, its value was no less than that of an excellent grade weapon.
"Start strengthening!"
"Ding, [Wild Boar's Toughness] amplified to first level. Upon use, Constitution +1."
"Ding, do you wish to consume 40 cultivation points to strengthen [Wild Boar's Toughness] (Amplified to first level)?"
"Ding, [Wild Boar's Toughness] amplified to second level. Upon use, Constitution +2."
"Ding, do you wish to consume 80 cultivation points to strengthen [Wild Boar's Toughness] (Amplified to second level)?"
"Ding, [Wild Boar's Toughness] amplified to third level. Upon use, Constitution +3."
"Ding, do you wish to consume 160 cultivation points to strengthen [Wild Boar's Toughness] (Amplified to third level)?"
"Ding, [Wild Boar's Toughness] amplified to fourth level. You have obtained an additional evolution option."
"Finally, an option appeared, Lin Feng was a little excited."
Of course.
The result did not disappoint him.
Option 1 (F-grade): Constitution +5.
Option 2 (D-grade): In addition to this pill, you can also use two ordinary secret medicines without amplification effects.
Option 3 (B-grade): Increase automatic HP recovery +10/s.
Lin Feng only amplified it to the fourth level, and then stopped when the evolution option appeared.
It was just a Yellow Grade pill, not worth expending too many cultivation points.
He still needed to save cultivation points to strengthen the treasure chest.
The current effect was already quite satisfactory.
Not only did it greatly increase the Constitution value, but it also provided an excellent attribute.
He chose option 3 without hesitation.
As for option 2, being able to eat two more ordinary secret medicines, he directly ignored it.
Was a few more attribute points comparable to automatic HP recovery?
He immediately consumed it.
"You have consumed [Wild Boar's Toughness] (Amplified to fourth level). Constitution +15, Automatic HP recovery +10/s."
If the amplification points were deducted.
It was equivalent to only increasing by 4 points of constitution.
"Why so little?"
He was somewhat puzzled.
"Master, how many points of constitution did you increase?"
The gathering master looked up excitedly, speaking somewhat incoherently.
"Big shot, I increased my constitution by a full 3 points!"
