Chapter 8

Collector.

Current Skills:

1. Appraisal (Temporary). This skill can be used to appraise various materials. You can only truly own it after successfully appraising over a hundred materials.

2. Collection (Temporary). This skill can be used to collect various plant materials. You can only truly own it after collecting over a hundred materials. If you can obtain more materials, you can improve the quality of your Collection skill.

3. Skinning (Temporary). This skill can be used to instantly remove the skin from a target creature. You can only truly own it after skinning over a hundred hides. If you can obtain more materials, you can improve the quality of your Skinning skill.

4. Mining (Temporary). This skill can be used to obtain ores from designated veins. You can only truly own it after obtaining over a hundred ores. If you can obtain more materials, you can improve the quality of your Mining skill.

At the same time, a task prompt appeared on his totem mark, indicating that he had received a secondary profession task: Collect materials, with a completion time of twelve hours.

In other words, Yuan Chenfei must complete the task of collecting materials within twelve hours. The four skills are actually four designated tasks, and completing each one will grant you a corresponding skill.

You must obtain at least one corresponding skill to successfully become a Collector.

In fact, the Collector profession itself has three branches, corresponding to plants, animals, and minerals. Appraisal is an additional skill and is the easiest to complete, as it only requires appraising a hundred materials, unlike the other three branches, which have specific directional requirements. In other words, as long as you complete any one branch, you will definitely obtain the Appraisal skill.

Completing all three branches within twelve hours is a difficult task, as not everything can become material, and this requires a long time to search. Most importantly, when a large number of professionals concentrate on finding materials, the appearance of a single material often triggers a scramble.

The low efficiency caused by the scramble makes it difficult for many people to even complete one branch, let alone improve the quality.

If you fail a life profession task, you cannot receive it again, but you can receive other life profession tasks. If you fail all life profession tasks, you will be completely cut off from life professions.

Although life professions do not enhance combat power, they are a guarantee for earning money.

Everyone needs to live, and according to the rules of the Gods' Game, fighting monsters is mainly used to improve oneself, while earning money still relies on life professions. Therefore, it is better to be cautious about life professions.

However, Yuan Chenfei does not need to worry about this.

Because no one is competing with him.

At this moment, it is a blank period for tasks.

Everyone is still in awe of the changes brought by the Heavenly Palace, and no one has even started leveling up, let alone switching to a life profession.

In this situation, Yuan Chenfei's task is incredibly easy.

After receiving the task, Yuan Chenfei took a pickaxe and a material bag. The material bag can store materials infinitely, but it is a task item and must be returned after use.

After receiving the task, Yuan Chenfei did not linger and walked directly out of the tower.

Outside the tower, a large crowd was still waiting. Seeing Yuan Chenfei come out, they all surrounded him and asked, "Hey, hey, how did you get in? What's the situation inside?"

Seeing this, Yuan Chenfei did not bother to waste words and ran off.

"Hey, don't run!" Everyone hurried to chase him.

But Yuan Chenfei had leveled up and was now in athlete condition, and no one could catch up to him. They could only watch as he ran away, stomping their feet in anger and cursing, saying that this kid must have gotten some benefit and was unwilling to share, which was extremely unrighteous.

It's not clear what kind of righteousness they were talking about.

After running for a good distance, Yuan Chenfei stopped when he saw no one was chasing him.

It was already 12:30 PM, an hour and a half since the tower appeared, three and a half hours before the animals grew to level one monsters, and five and a half hours before the game fully began.

For Yuan Chenfei, this was a precious time.

Not only was there no one to compete with, but everything was just beginning, and all plants and animals were at level zero, their most vulnerable state. Yuan Chenfei, already a level one Beast Tamer, had significantly improved physical fitness and combat skills, so he would not encounter much danger.

After just a few steps, Yuan Chenfei saw a peculiar flower nearby.

Yuan Chenfei approached and activated the Appraisal skill, and indeed received feedback.

Three-Life Flower, a system material, can be collected.

In the next moment, Yuan Chenfei activated the Collection skill and put the flower in his bag.

Without the Collection skill, you can still collect, but there is a high chance of damaging the material, reducing its value.

Yuan Chenfei then continued forward, identifying any unusual plants he saw. With the map, he knew his position and direction clearly.

In this way, he soon arrived at a cave entrance.

This was the mine.

After the gods and demons transformed the Earth, many barren mountains became mines.

Like the Collection skill, you can still mine without the Mining skill, but the success rate and quality of the materials obtained will be greatly reduced. The same goes for Skinning; you can still skin without the skill, but you have to do it slowly and risk damaging the hide.

At this moment, with no one competing for a good spot, Yuan Chenfei took out his pickaxe and started mining.

Every time he dug out a piece of ore, he used the Appraisal skill to identify it. The initial mining rate was particularly high, and he could get a piece of ore with just a few strikes.

In half an hour, Yuan Chenfei had already collected a hundred pieces of ore.

This would be almost unimaginable later on.

Not to mention the monsters that might appear in the mine, just the large number of people competing for the ore would greatly reduce the efficiency of mining.

But now, there was no one competing for the ore, and the monsters had not even started growing.

Although he had already collected a hundred pieces of ore, Yuan Chenfei was not satisfied and continued mining. Life skills have levels, but only five. For every fifty pieces of ore collected beyond the first hundred, you can increase one grade. Yuan Chenfei's goal was the highest grade, so he aimed for three hundred pieces.

Two hours later, Yuan Chenfei set off with three hundred pieces of ore, continuing to search for various materials along the way.

When Yuan Chenfei returned to the breeding ground, he had already collected over a hundred and fifty plants, and it was exactly 4:00 PM.

The animals in the breeding ground were all level one at this time.

——————————————

When Yuan Chenfei returned to the breeding ground, he saw that the little animals' eyes were red.

They were hungry.

In the past two days, Yuan Chenfei had only given them a small amount of water and a little food to keep them alive. Although the divine energy had improved their physical condition and allowed them to evolve, hunger still made them dizzy and weak, lying helplessly in their cages.

So when Yuan Chenfei arrived, these animals all looked at him with hateful eyes—evolution had improved their intelligence, allowing them to feel hatred.

Yuan Chenfei did not care and simply opened a cage.

The rabbit inside immediately rushed out and bit Yuan Chenfei.

This rabbit was almost as big as a dog, and its bite was fierce and vicious, almost indistinguishable from a dog, but much faster.

But as it pounced, Yuan Chenfei quickly closed the cage door, trapping the rabbit against it, and with a swift movement, slashed the rabbit's neck.

The rabbit immediately bled profusely.

The rabbit continued to twist and try to bite Yuan Chenfei, but Yuan Chenfei kept slashing until the rabbit was dead.

He then used the Skinning skill, and a rabbit hide was in his hand.

Yuan Chenfei put the rabbit hide in his bag, and the rabbit meat was also a harvest that could be kept.

After dealing with this rabbit, Yuan Chenfei opened the second cage and repeated the process.

These animals were only level one, with just a bit more strength and some ferocity. If they were outside, moving in groups, they would scare many people. But in the cages, after being starved for two days, their combat ability had dropped to the lowest level. Yuan Chenfei could easily and pleasantly kill them one by one.

The leveling rules in the Gods' Game are simple.

Killing a hundred same-level monsters will allow you to advance.

It's that simple and brutal.

However, it's not as simple as it seems.

Killing a hundred monsters to level up might take an hour or so in a game, or even a few minutes in some monster-farming games. But in reality, that's not a small number.

The attributes of same-level monsters are usually not much different from those of same-level professionals, so each kill involves a battle.

Killing ten chickens in a day might not seem like a big deal, but experiencing ten battles in a day is definitely life-threatening.

Yuan Chenfei found it easy to kill these monsters because they had been starved for two days, greatly suppressing their strength.

Even so, it took him over an hour to kill a hundred rabbits, and by the time he killed the last one, his arms were too tired to lift.

"Damn, no wonder they say the Skinning skill is the hardest to get. It's indeed difficult. It took an hour just to kill them in the cages. In the wild, finding and fighting them, twelve hours would be a real challenge," Yuan Chenfei sighed.

Fighting in the wild is much harder because you don't know what situations you might encounter.

Sometimes you might not find a monster for half a day, and other times you might encounter a large group.

This is just at level one.

As the level increases, the strength of the monsters will also increase.

Although it takes a hundred same-level kills to level up from level one to level ninety-nine, the fact is that the higher the level, the harder it is to kill monsters.

The Gods' Game is a typical quality-over-quantity game, so in the later stages, everyone's leveling method is to form teams to kill monsters, treating normal monsters like bosses. Killing a hundred monsters over several months is not uncommon.

So, learning the Skinning skill at the beginning is fine. If you don't learn it at the beginning, it will be even harder to learn later.

At this moment, after killing a hundred rabbits, Yuan Chenfei advanced to level two, clearly feeling the familiar warm current in his body again, and his energy and physical strength also increased.

If he was previously just an athlete, now his physical strength could rival Tyson's, not to mention his other improved aspects.

In a sense, he now possessed Tyson's strength, Bolt's speed, Messi's agility, and Bear Grylls' resilience.

Although he was still on the human level, he was already at the peak of humanity.

At the same time, Yuan Chenfei received a skill point.

However, he did not add this skill point to his profession skills but to a general skill.

He added one point to Endurance Enhancement.

Human endurance is limited, and prolonged continuous combat can easily cause physical and mental fatigue.

Even Tyson would feel tired after killing a few hundred rabbits.

One point of Endurance Enhancement can effectively increase Yuan Chenfei's working time, allowing him to continue working and seize the rare opportunity now, without wasting any time.
