Chapter 16: Dissecting the Violent Bear's Corpse, A Massive Harvest!

Cao Xing nodded inwardly. Only by showing powerful strength could one make subordinates more loyal to you.

It is the same logic in any world.

He looked at Assam beside him, then took out a glowing red crystal from his portable backpack.

This was the [Basic Heart of Strength] obtained from killing the violent bear just now.

[Basic Heart of Strength: Can only be obtained from some powerful creatures.]

[Item Effect: Allows Survivors or territory members who have reached level 10 to complete advancement. After advancement, all attributes are increased by 100%.]

In the Frozen Era, the improvement of each advancement is terrifying.

At the very least, it is a 100% attribute increase.

Without relying on other means, trying to fight across tiers is a very difficult task.

And Assam was already a level 10 creature, meeting the advancement conditions.

Thus, Cao Xing directly threw the Heart of Strength to him.

Assam subconsciously caught it, then gripped the power-filled crystal in his hand, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He asked in disbelief: "My Lord, is such a precious Heart of Strength really going to be given to me?"

Cao Xing nodded and said: "Assam, in this operation, you have proven your bravery and alertness. I feel you are enough to possess even greater strength."

"So, please accept this Heart of Strength, and let us build a more prosperous territory together!"

Assam was moved to tears. He struck his chest with one hand, straightened his body, and said excitedly: "I am willing to give my life for My Lord."

['Assam' has been touched by your actions, loyalty has increased, current loyalty 95 (Undying loyalty).]

Seeing this prompt, Cao Xing was overjoyed.

When loyalty exceeds 90, these soldiers reach a state of absolute loyalty. Even if you tell them to go to their deaths, the other party will execute it without hesitation.

In this way, there was even less need to worry about Assam rebelling.

Under everyone's gaze.

Right in front of Cao Xing, Assam directly crushed the Heart of Strength.

"Crack!"

The sound of shattering glass rang out, and a red mist was absorbed by Assam.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Assam's aura climbed rapidly, reaching a terrifying degree in the blink of an eye.

A system prompt appeared.

[Your territory member: Assam has completed advancement, all attributes increased by 100%.]

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Assam's attributes after advancement.

[Frost Wolf Knight: Assam (Tier 2)]

[Race: Human]

[Level: Level 10 1722 / 10000]

[HP: 2040]

[Attack Power: 274 ~ 289]

[Armor: 24 ~ 27]

[Attributes: Strength 114, Agility 108, Spirit 96, Constitution 102]

[Hunger: 72]

[Loyalty: 95]

…

"Good, good, good!"

Cao Xing looked at Assam's panel with satisfaction.

Without a doubt, this enhancement brought a qualitative change to his strength.

Ilena beside him looked at Assam's changes with full envy.

Noticing her gaze, Cao Xing said: "Ilena, perform well. Once you reach level 10, I will also find a Heart of Strength for you, allowing you to break through to Tier 2."

Hearing this, Ilena's slender snake eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Cao Xing excitedly and said: "Thank you for your generosity, My Lord!"

"Ilena is willing to give everything for My Lord!"

['Ilena' has been touched by your words, loyalty has increased, current loyalty 85.]

Sure enough, loyalty had increased again.

Cao Xing was overjoyed. As a qualified lord, one must be good at making grand promises.

Then, Cao Xing began to check the two rewards given for the first kill of the snowy violent bear.

[Ice Plain Druid Recruitment Scroll (Purple): Through this scroll, summon a powerful level 15 elite druid!]

(Note: Although the Ice Plain Druid is powerful, the amount of food he requires every day is also astonishing. Please ensure your food is sufficient~)

Seeing the prompt above, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank.

Holy cow!

Level 15 elite monster!

This is way too fierce!

From the powerful combat power displayed by the snowy violent bear just now, one could tell how terrifying a level 15 elite monster was!

If Cao Xing didn't have a trump card like Barrett, all of them combined wouldn't even last half a minute in the hands of the snowy violent bear.

However, the system also prompted that this 'Ice Plain Druid' had an astonishing appetite.

Ordinary Survivors couldn't even afford to raise him.

Cao Xing continued to check the other reward.

[Basic Elemental Arrow Tower Blueprint: Can build a defensive arrow tower in the territory]

[Attack Power: 213 ~ 247 (20% chance to add 45 points of elemental damage)]

[Attack Interval: 2.5 seconds / 1 time]

[Max Range: 600 meters]

[Armor: 20 points]

[Durability: 2000 / 2000]

[Footprint: 12 square meters]

[Building Height: 15 meters]

[Required Materials for Construction: Wood * 300, Stone * 200, Iron * 50, Basic Elemental Crystal * 10]

…

After reading the attributes of this Elemental Arrow Tower, Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised once again.

Good fellow, with over two hundred points of attack power, a single arrow could instantly kill a level 5 creature like Ilena. This was another major weapon!

Even the unadvanced Assam, in a one-on-one situation, would likely be directly shot dead before rushing to the foot of the arrow tower.

After all, it had a range of a full 600 meters.

Moreover, the materials needed for this Elemental Arrow Tower were not complicated, and it could be completely mass-produced.

The only troublesome thing was the [Basic Elemental Crystal] mentioned later.

This thing could only be dropped by powerful creatures like the snowy violent bear or opened from treasure chests.

However, due to the existence of the [Market], this was not a difficult problem for Cao Xing.

Cao Xing believed that no matter how difficult this material was to drop, given such a large base, quite a few Survivors would definitely drop this material.

After checking this harvest, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Although this battle consumed five Barrett bullets, the return was also extremely astonishing.

It could be called a massive harvest.

Not only that, besides these spoils of war, there was still one reward before him that hadn't been processed.

Cao Xing looked at the huge corpse in front of him.

[Snowy Violent Bear Corpse (Blue): Can be disassembled.]

Cao Xing directly clicked on disassemble.

Then, the snowy violent bear's small truck-like body was enveloped by a burst of white light.

After the white light dissipated, a hill-like pile of fresh bear meat appeared in its place, along with a huge bear skin, a pair of bear paws, and a pile of bones.

[Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 1215]

(Bear meat containing powerful strength. First consumption: Strength + 2, Constitution + 2)

[Complete Snowy Violent Bear Pelt (Blue)]

(A complete bear skin with very good cold resistance. After being made into clothing through the Tailor Shop, it can also come with a certain armor effect.)

[Snowy Violent Bear Paws (Purple) * 2]

(A precious trophy. It is said that Avalon nobles specially collect such bear paws as a collection and can sell them for a high price.)

[Snowy Violent Bear Gallbladder (Blue) * 1]

(A bear gallbladder with powerful efficacy. First consumption permanently increases HP by 200 points. Remember to cook it before eating~)

[Snowy Violent Bear Bones * 172 (Blue)]

(The extremely hard bones of the violent bear. You can process them in the blacksmith shop to make spears or other weapons.)

…

"Holy crap! Over a thousand pieces of bear meat?"

Cao Xing was shocked. Translated, that was a full six thousand plus food!

And what was the most crucial part?

The most crucial part was that this bear meat could increase attributes!

A full 2 points of Strength and Constitution enhancement.

For those warrior classes, it meant an increase of nearly 4 points of attack power and 40 points of HP, plus 1 point of armor.

Right now was the time when Survivors lacked food the most, and it was even attribute-increasing meat!

If put on the [Market] for trade, Cao Xing believed it would definitely cause a frenzy among Survivors.

He seemed to see an overwhelming fortune crashing toward him, making even Cao Xing's breathing somewhat rapid!
