Chapter 40

nVincent’s eyes turned cold.
nJudging from the sound, the monster at the bottom of the lake was likely a powerful opponent.
n
n
nWhoosh!
nA light blue shadow suddenly darted out.
nIt was about the same length as an adult’s forearm.
nVincent dodged it. At the same time, he used his Purgatory Blade to sweep across it.
n
n
n“Awooo!”
nThe monster let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground. It struggled a few times and died immediately.
n“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an intermediate-level monster, Shallow Leech. You have received one upgrade pill.”
n“Do you wish to take it?”
n
n
n“Not for the time being.”
nVincent looked at the Shallow Leech corpse that had half of its body hooked off by the Purgatory Blade. He was stunned for a long time.
nHe thought the monster would be terrifying. However, in the end, it was only an intermediate-level monster.
nMoreover, the Shallow Leech’s combat ability after leaving the water was very low.
nIt relied purely on its speed to attack people secretly.
nAccording to the monster illustrations, the high-level Shallow Leech was as fast as a bullet.
n
n
nObviously, the shallow leech did not possess such speed.
nHowever, Vincent was very curious. The Shallow Leech had always been in groups.
nWhy was there only one?
nVincent did not think too much about it. He put away the crystals and corpses. He then began to set up the surroundings.
nJust as he turned his back, a bunch of shallow leeches suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake. They were not calm.
nVincent did not have time to dodge at all. He could only release Hellfire to wrap himself up.
nHe was not sure what would happen if he was hit by the Shallow Leech.
nThe blood-sucking characteristics of the Shallow Leech alone were enough to make it difficult for Vincent to escape.
n
n
nThe moment the Shadow Leeches touched Hellfire, they disappeared.
nThe kill notification in Vincent’s mind kept ringing. He lost track of the number of kills he had gotten.
nTen minutes later, the system notification finally stopped.
nThis also proved that the Shadow Leeches were all dead.
n“Ding! Congratulations to the host for accumulating 1,000 items of the same type. The exchange function has been activated.”
n“Please wait a moment…”
n“Ding! The exchange function has been activated. Please check it yourself.”
nVincent did not understand what the function was, but he felt like it was similar to using points to exchange items in Quinn.
nIn fact, it was really similar.
nIt was just that the system’s exchange function used a barter system instead.
nAnything could be accepted. The system would give a value assessment and exchange it for points. One could then use the points to exchange for other things within the system.
nThe system had a variety of things, from sewing to top-grade SSS items. Everything was available.
nThis function made Vincent very happy.
n
n
nIt was like carrying an all-purpose department store!
nThis would undoubtedly solve all of Vincent’s worries in the wild.
nMissing medicine?
nSmall problem, find the system to exchange!
nBroken equipment?
nSmall problem, find the system to exchange!
nUncomfortable living in the wild at night?
nSmall problem, find the system to exchange!
n…
nVincent was immersed in the exchange function and was unable to extricate himself.
nOn one hand, it was really convenient.
nOn the other hand, the points that were needed to exchange for items were not high; even the highest SSS-Class psionic blade was only worth a few hundred million points.
nWhat was the difference between that and giving it away for free?
nIn the outside world, if one did not have a few hundred billion psionic coins, there was no need to even think about buying anything.
nOf course, this was just simply a thought.
nIf one really wanted to buy it, the psionic coins required were simply an astronomical figure.
nAnd who would be poor enough to sell a psionic weapon of this level?
nThey were all used to exchange for other items of the same level.
nTo put it bluntly, it was bartering.
nHowever, the system was different.
nEverything could be exchanged for points. One could then proceed to purchase anything he wants. It was simply too convenient and easy.
nVincent took a long time to calm down.
nAs he continued to check the function joyfully, his expression suddenly froze.
nAn item like an upgrade pill that could be sold at a sky-high price was estimated by the system to be worth 0.01 points.
nEven if Vincent had 1,000 upgrade pills and exchanged all of them, it would only be worth 10 points.
nAn all-rounded recovery potion that was worth 100,000 psionic coins was actually cheaper than an upgrade pill!
n0.005 exchange points!
n“This…”
nVincent felt like his dream was shattered.
nIf that was the case, it would not be easy to exchange for an SSS-Class psionic weapon.
nVincent sighed. He then continued to get busy.
nHowever, the heavens seemed to be opposing him.
nHe had been ambushed again!
nVincent, who was already in a bad mood because of the exchange points, was immediately angered.
n“F*ck! Are you done yet?”
nHe took his Purgatory Blade and immediately set Hellfire to its maximum and lashed out.
nDang!
nThe Purgatory Blade did not cause any damage.
n“Eh!”
nVincent’s arm went numb. He immediately knew that he had met a worthy opponent. He then used the recoil to flip himself over to increase the distance between them.
nAt the same time, a claw descended from the sky and landed on where he stood earlier.
nThe claw had three toes on the front and one on the back. Its entire foot was covered in green scales and was extremely thick.
nIts one toe was three times the length of Vincent, and its thickness was twice the size of Vincent.
n“F*ck! A Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex!”
nVincent looked at the monster that was the size of a small mountain and opened his eyes and mouth widely.
nThe Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was a high-level monster and had an overlord-level existence. It had wings, could dive, fly, spew fire, and run at the speed of sound waves.
nIt was the only monster that could fight above its level and win.
nIn other words, the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex had the combat strength of a special-level monster.
n“F*ck! F*ck!”
nVincent cursed twice. He put away his Purgatory Blade and turned to run.
nWith his current level and combat strength, fighting the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was not training at all. He was simply courting death.
nHowever, although he did not want to fight with the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex, it did not mean that the monster would let him go.
nThe Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex spread its legs and rushed towards Vincent.
nVincent ran fifty meters with all his strength, but compared to the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex, it did not even have to take a step.
n“F*ck! Why is there a Tyrannosaurus here!”
nVincent turned at a right angle and narrowly avoided the claws of the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.
nAs the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was facing a weak human like Vincent, it was very angry when it did not kill him in one stroke.
nIt roared. It then opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of flames at Vincent.
nThe flames were fan-shaped and covered a very large area. Vincent had nowhere to hide.
nSimilarly, William had arranged to follow Vincent.
nAfter feeling the heatwave behind him, Vincent’s expression changed drastically. He quickly released Hellfire.
nThe black flames completely enveloped him. The flames of the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex could not harm Vincent at all.
nHowever, there was a problem.
nHellfire consumed the psionic power in Vincent’s body at an extremely rapid speed.
nOn the other hand, the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex’s flames were an innate ability that did not consume any psionic power.
nAs time passed, it was only a matter of time before Vincent was burned to death.
n“Monster Affinity!”
nVincent stuffed the psionic power recovery potion into his mouth as he casted Monster Affinity.
nThis caused the psionic power that was being consumed at an extremely fast rate to be consumed even faster.
nThis would happen regardless of how many bottles of psionic power recovery potion he consumed.
nNo matter how much psionic power recovery potion he consumed, it would still not be enough to make ends meet.
nThe Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was suddenly stunned. The human in front of it gave it a very familiar feeling.
nA voice in its heart kept telling it not to hurt him.
nMonsters relied on their instincts to act. It was rare for them to think.
nThe Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was the former.
nIt absorbed its flames and looked at Vincent with curiosity.
nVincent was also very surprised.
nAlthough he knew how powerful Monster’s Affinity was, he did not expect it to be so powerful.
nHe wanted to give it a try, but he did not expect it to really save his life.
nAs he heaved a sigh of relief, Vincent reassessed the power of his Monster Affinity.
nThe Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex lowered its head. Its nostrils were bigger than Vincent’s. Every time it breathed, Vincent’s clothes and hair would fly up.
nVincent’s muscles tensed up. He was afraid that the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex would swallow him whole.
nThe man and the monster stared at each other for ten minutes.
n“Roar!”
nThe Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly raised its head and roared.
nVincent was shocked and took out his Purgatory Blade instinctively.
nHowever, he did not expect to see the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex spread its wings and fly away instead.
n
