"What in the world is this?"
Ye Feng was stunned, looking at the meager number of items available for trade in the [Trading Channel].
[Dried Wood x1: Just dismantled from the top of the small cabin. Trading for some bread, instant noodles, etc.]
Comment: "Awesome, trading free wood for precious food!"
Comment: "Exactly, trading wood for food is one thing, but even like this..."
...
[Wood x1: Trading for a serving of braised pork rice!]
Comment: "..."
Comment: "..."
...
After seeing these trade listings, Ye Feng decisively abandoned his idea of putting his Su Fei sanitary napkins in the trading channel. He didn't want to lose a pack of sanitary napkins for nothing.
However, those trading messages reminded Ye Feng of one thing: he needed to quickly go chop trees to get more wood, otherwise it would be troublesome when it got dark.
With that in mind, Ye Feng quickly picked up the small stone axe from the floor and walked out of the small cabin.
Of course, Ye Feng also extinguished the campfire before leaving. After all, he now had flint and didn't have to worry about a fire source. Saving some wood was always good.
Besides, an unattended bonfire was quite dangerous, especially inside a small cabin.
He didn't want to come back from chopping wood only to find his small cabin burned down.
Standing at the entrance of the small cabin, Ye Feng stretched his muscles and brought up the system's [Personal Information] panel.
[Name: Ye Feng]
[Strength: 10 (8 for an ordinary person)]
[Agility: 10 (8 for an ordinary person)]
[Intelligence: ?]
[Available Points: 10]
"Only 10 available points?"
Looking at the limited number of available points, Ye Feng did not rush to add them.
Because according to the paper from before, the environment in the "Remnant Fire" world was extremely complex and full of dangers. Without understanding his surroundings, rashly adding points could easily lead to his death.
For example, encountering a monster with great strength around a corner while having invested points in agility, or facing a very fast wolf while having invested in strength.
Or, if he distributed points evenly, he might encounter prey that he couldn't defeat, or could defeat but could only watch it escape...
"Damn!"
Ye Feng let out a strange cry as he observed the outside through the gap in the cabin door.
Because a snake, about 30 centimeters long and entirely emerald green, was coiled right at the doorway, occasionally flicking its tongue.
"Viper!"
Ye Feng recognized it. Not only was it poisonous, but it was highly venomous.
"System, start allocating points, 5 points to Agility!"
Ye Feng decisively allocated half of his available points to Agility.
"Ding!~"
After a crisp beeping sound, Ye Feng's Agility in his [Personal Information] panel changed from 10 to 15.
At the same time, Ye Feng felt his entire body become lighter.
Immediately, Ye Feng gripped the small stone axe in his right hand and placed his left hand on the door latch.
"Click~"
The moment the wooden door was pulled open, Ye Feng hurled the small stone axe he was holding directly at the viper.
"Bang!~"
The small stone axe hit the viper's body heavily, driving it into the dirt and pinning it there.
At this moment, Ye Feng didn't bother with striking the viper's seven-inch vital spot. He stepped forward, pulled out the small stone axe, and then proceeded to smash the viper repeatedly.
"Bang! Bang~ Bang!~"
Soon, the entire viper was smashed into the rather hard earth by Ye Feng and showed no signs of life.
"Hoo~ hoo hoo~"
Ye Feng panted heavily.
During the intense tension, he had held his breath and used all his strength in almost every swing, making him feel extremely exhausted.
"Looks like I'll have roast snake for dinner~"
After a short rest, Ye Feng briefly cleaned up the dead viper, placed it in the small cabin, latched the door, and then headed towards a medium-sized pine tree.
"Thump! Thump~ Bang~ Bang..."
Soon, the sound of Ye Feng chopping trees echoed through the forest.
...
About an hour later,
Ye Feng, drenched in sweat, sat on the ground. This was not because he had chopped enough wood, but because his small stone axe had broken.
Ye Feng's small stone axe was just a few stones and a wooden stick tied together with grass rope. It was incapable of heavy tree chopping.
He had even specifically chosen to chop dry, small branches, but in the end, the small stone axe still broke...
"Never mind, I'll head back first~"
After thinking it over, Ye Feng decided to return to the small cabin. After all, he had chopped some wood and picked some unknown fruits along the way.
What was regrettable was that Ye Feng had not found any treasure chests mentioned on the paper as he walked.
"Beep, alert, treasure chest detected, 0.1 meters directly below your position~"
Just as Ye Feng was about to head back, the system's prompt sound suddenly rang out.
"Whoa, this notification is so timely~"
Ye Feng was very pleased.
Earlier, he had felt that the notification function hadn't been very useful, but ever since it informed him that retrieving items placed in the [Trading Channel] incurred a 10% transaction fee, Ye Feng had considered the notifications quite important.
Those who bought wood and the small stone axe from him likely didn't know about this information, and would only discover it when they tried to retrieve their items.
And now, the notification function had actually told him there was a treasure chest hidden beneath his feet?!
Immediately, Ye Feng picked up a wooden stick and some stones and began clearing the weeds and dirt at his feet. After digging for a short while, he hit something hard.
Ye Feng carefully cleared away the dirt and discovered a square-shaped box lying there.
[Wooden Treasure Chest: The most common and ordinary treasure chest in the "Remnant Fire" world. Contains 5 basic survival items~]
At this moment, the system's mechanical voice sounded.
As soon as the system's voice finished, Ye Feng opened the treasure chest.
[Coarse Grain Bread x3]
[Mineral Water x2]
[Sausage x1]
[Corn Cob x1]
[Small Knife x1]
"So many good things~"
Ye Feng was overjoyed. He immediately took out all the contents, took off his shirt, packed them up, and then headed back with the wood and the broken small stone axe.
...
"Hoo!~"
Upon returning to the small cabin, Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief.
Outside, his nerves had been constantly on edge, fearing encounters with monsters.
Subsequently, Ye Feng organized the newly acquired supplies and placed them on the floor.
"Gurgle~"
At this moment, Ye Feng's stomach grumbled with hunger.
