"How many of these bullets do you have?"
Ye Feng took a deep breath, calming himself, and sent another message to Ying.
Ying: "I have one box of bullets, around 40 rounds~"
"How about I trade you 9 packets of Ganmaoling granules for it? That's exactly a 3-day supply~"
Ye Feng proposed.
"Okay!"
Ying agreed immediately without any hesitation.
Afterward, Ye Feng posted a trading message for 666 packets of Ganmaoling granules on the [Trading Channel] and quickly completed the transaction with Ying.
After a flash of light, a square bullet box appeared before Ye Feng's eyes.
"As expected, these are bullets for the Barrett M82A1~"
Upon opening it, Ye Feng counted and confirmed it was indeed the 40 rounds Ying mentioned, enough to fill the magazine 4 times.
Immediately, Ye Feng took out the Barrett M82A1, removed the magazine, and began loading the bullets.
"Screech~!"
Ye Feng, having loaded only a few bullets, suddenly heard a sharp cry.
"What's going on? Holy crap, a giant eagle!"
Ye Feng looked up and saw a large black eagle with a wingspan of over 3 meters circling above them.
The black eagle let out a piercing shriek and then began to dive sharply downwards, its sharp talons extended like hooks.
Even from a distance, Ye Feng could sense the sharpness of the eagle's talons.
"Not good!"
Ye Feng's expression changed slightly.
The target of the black eagle's dive was Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping under the shade of the trees.
"Click click~"
Ye Feng rapidly loaded the magazine, raised the Barrett M82A1, adjusted the angle, and aimed the muzzle at the diving black eagle.
"This Barrett M82A1's scope is indeed the M3 optical super scope~"
Ye Feng muttered, looking at the black eagle in the scope, which was as clear as if it were right in front of him, and then pulled the trigger.
"Bang!~"
A loud gunshot echoed.
The black eagle, which had been rushing towards Xiaoxiao, exploded in a mist of blood in mid-air, veered off course, and crashed onto the ground.
"Ah?!"
Startled by the loud gunshot, Xiaoxiao woke up directly, looking around nervously.
"Xiaoxiao, it's okay, I just shot down a giant eagle that was going to grab you~"
Ye Feng waved his hand at Xiaoxiao, reassuring her.
"Oh, is that so~"
Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief.
Then, Ye Feng stepped forward and picked up the dead black eagle.
However, the part of the black eagle above its neck had been shattered by the shot and had fallen somewhere.
"Xiaoxiao, this is for you. Go to the [Trading Channel] and trade it for something you like~"
Ye Feng pointed at the dead black eagle and said to Xiaoxiao.
"Oh, okay~"
Xiaoxiao blinked slightly, then nodded and began to carefully browse the [Trading Channel].
Ye Feng, having just given Xiaoxiao some "pocket money," started loading bullets into the magazine again.
After a while, Ye Feng filled the magazine and put the remaining bullets, along with the bullet box, into his spatial warehouse.
Then, Ye Feng also checked the [World Channel]. He realized he hadn't looked at the "world news" for a few days.
"What the heck, this... a combat power ranking?!"
As soon as he opened the [World Channel], Ye Feng was stunned by what he saw.
"A combat power leaderboard?"
Ye Feng muttered and quickly scanned the names on the list.
Unfortunately, the entire combat power ranking on the [World Channel], with 500 spots, did not include Ye Feng.
"So many names on this combat power list are asterisks (*), what's going on?"
Ye Feng was a bit puzzled, then he clicked on the [Regional Chat Channel] and found that there was also a combat power ranking there.
On this list, Ye Feng searched thoroughly.
Out of 500 names... he wasn't there either!
"Damn it~"
Ye Feng was quite frustrated. He had thought his combat power was already quite strong, but it seemed it wasn't enough.
Of course, Ye Feng didn't get discouraged, as he knew he could continue to grow stronger.
Ye Feng's mindset was clearly positive. He didn't dwell on the combat power list information and took out the Barrett M82A1, playing with it with great fondness.
"Big brother, look quickly, you're ranked 486 on the combat power list! So amazing!"
Suddenly, Xiaoxiao's astonished and admiring voice rang out.
"Hmm?"
Ye Feng frowned, "Xiaoxiao, where did you see that?"
Ye Feng was quite puzzled. He had just checked, and his name wasn't on the combat power lists in either the [World Channel] or the [Regional Chat Channel]!
"It's here, on the [Regional Chat Channel]'s combat power list, at 486th place~"
Xiaoxiao moved closer to Ye Feng and pointed her screen at him.
"Whoa, it's really my ID!"
Looking at the words "Zhang San" on the [Regional Chat Channel]'s combat power list, Ye Feng became even more confused.
Immediately, Ye Feng opened his own [Regional Chat Channel] again, clicked on the combat power list, and scrolled down.
"It's actually there?!"
Ye Feng was very surprised.
"Why wasn't it there just now? Did my combat power increase in the last few seconds?"
"But I didn't add any points or anything. Could it be that..."
Ye Feng pondered for a moment, his gaze finally falling on the Barrett M82A1, which weighed about thirty pounds, in his hand.
"Could it really be like this?"
Ye Feng, half-believing, placed the Barrett M82A1 on the ground.
"Hey, big brother, why did your ID suddenly disappear from the leaderboard?"
As soon as Ye Feng let go of the Barrett M82A1, Xiaoxiao's surprised voice reached his ears.
"It really is~"
Ye Feng also noticed this.
Then, he picked up the Barrett M82A1 again, and his ranking instantly became 486.
"This combat power list is updated in real-time, and it's affected by the weapons the survivors possess?"
Ye Feng quickly understood.
"But speaking of which, the combat power boost from this Barrett M82A1 is really significant~"
"From not even being on the list to instantly becoming 486th place~"
Ye Feng muttered. However, considering the terrifying power of the Barrett M82A1, which could penetrate 4 millimeters of steel plate from a kilometer away, he felt relieved. Su Dan Novel Network
"Hmm..."
Looking at the Barrett M82A1 in his hand, a thought suddenly occurred to Ye Feng.
He placed the Barrett M82A1 on the ground again and took out the Tang sword from his spatial storage, holding it in his hand.
Throughout the process, Ye Feng's eyes were fixed on the combat power list in the [Regional Chat Channel].
"Holy crap, what the hell?"
Ye Feng discovered that his name had disappeared from the leaderboard again.
"Is the combat power bonus from this Tang sword less than the Barrett M82A1?"
Ye Feng was somewhat skeptical.
For some reason, he instinctively felt that the origin of this Tang sword was extraordinary, and its combat power bonus should be much more terrifying than the Barrett M82A1.
He vividly remembered the terrifying lightning-infused slash he unleashed when he killed the gargoyle with the Tang sword!
After thinking for a while, with no clue, Ye Feng put the Tang sword back into his spatial warehouse and instead began to check the messages in the [Regional Chat Channel].
"Holy crap, what's with this sudden combat power list?"
"It's not just our region that has this list, the [World Channel] also has one~"
"Yeah, on the [World Channel]'s combat power list, many of the top-ranked IDs are asterisks (*), I don't know what that means~"
"On our [Regional Chat Channel]'s combat power list, the top few also have two asterisks (*)~"
Tianluo Valley's Overlord Dan: "Um, did you guys just see that?"
"See what?"
"Plus one for the above."
Tianluo Valley's Overlord Dan: "Zhang San!"

Suddenly, a message caught Ye Feng's attention.
