The platform at the safe zone exit was crowded with people.
Some were discussing something, while others were casually chatting over coffee.
Many people glanced at the Cyan Striped Armor on his body, their gazes pausing briefly before moving on, as if it was nothing unusual.
None of them reacted the way he did when he first saw the Cyan Striped Armor—eyes lighting up with excitement.
Clearly, these were all experienced Sequence ability users.
However, none of them had anything to do with Qin Siyang.
To qualify for the special recruitment, he had to operate solo.
A few people approached him with offers to form a team, but he refused them all.
Qin Siyang looked at the vast safe zone platform and the gate of the safe zone. With a slight smile, he stepped forward and left.
Outside the safe zone, Qin Siyang found that there were still many people hunting gods.
As he walked forward, he continuously saw lone individuals or small teams searching for gods or engaging them in battle.
Qin Siyang observed the scene around him with great interest, nodding repeatedly: 'It really is a thriving sight!'
'Very spirited!'
Just then, a shadow, about the size of an arm, suddenly darted toward him.
He instinctively reached out and grabbed it.
"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK—"
Qin Siyang looked at the creature in his hand. It had webbed feet, resembling a rat, but it was unfamiliar to him.
It struggled desperately in his grip, seemingly trying to attack him.
However, Qin Siyang's hand strength was far too powerful, leaving it unable to break free. It could only let out shrill, frantic squeaks.
Qin Siyang took out his phone.
Click—
[Duck Rat]
"What a simple name."
Qin Siyang then opened the information Florence had sent him and flipped through it.
[Duck Rat: Extremely fast movement speed, directly attacks vital points. Round Plate Armor value: 2 God-Hunting Points.]
[Has research value. If possible, bring back the fresh remains for additional rewards.]
'Huh? Even the remains are needed? I thought they only wanted the Round Plate Armor. Even a god worth just two God-Hunting Points has a reward? Could it be some rare species?'
Qin Siyang scrutinized the Duck Rat in his hand for a while but found nothing unusual.
In the end, he pinched it hard, and the squeaking creature instantly fell silent, dead.
He cut off the Round Plate Armor, stored it away, and then stuffed the Duck Rat into his backpack before continuing forward.
After walking for a while, a wild boar suddenly charged at him, howling fiercely as it ran.
However, with Qin Siyang's keen senses, this wild boar's movements seemed somewhat clumsy.
'A wild boar? In this day and age?'
But its tusks were a dark purple, looking as if they were venomous.
Moreover, its waist was as slender as a long snake, sharply contrasting with its broad shoulders and hips.
Clearly, it was another god.
As it rushed toward him, Qin Siyang swiftly sidestepped to dodge the charge.
At the same time, he lifted his leg and brought it down in a sharp axe kick, striking directly at its thin waist.
CRACK—
With the sound of bones shattering, the strange wild boar's body split into two.
Its waist was crushed beneath Qin Siyang's foot, sinking into the ground, while its front and back halves stuck up in the air.
It struggled and howled a few times before coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood and dying.
Qin Siyang took out his phone.
CLICK—
[Serpent-Body Venom Boar: Tusks contain potent venom capable of paralyzing a person's nervous system within three seconds. Round Plate Armor value: 10 God-Hunting Points.]
[Has research value. If possible, bring back the tusks for additional rewards.]
Qin Siyang frowned, 'Another reward? They want god remains again?'
'If god remains all have rewards, then why, back in Area 14121, were all the god remains thrown into the trash?'
Qin Siyang scratched his head, unable to figure it out.
'Could it be that the types of gods here are different from those in my area?'
'Whatever. A reward is a reward—no reason to waste it.'
He cut off the Round Plate Armor, then extracted the tusks and placed them into his backpack.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he sliced off a piece of the wild boar's meat and put it in his mouth.
After swallowing, he let out a sigh.
As his Sequence level increased, eating these small gods no longer caused any bloodline surges in his body.
In other words, it provided no improvement whatsoever.
Even last time, when he ate the Doom Fate Octopus, he only felt a weak enhancement—far less than when he had eaten the Ghost Faced Heron.
This meant he not only needed to eat stronger gods but also had to be picky about the species.
'What a hassle. This [God Eater] Sequence's perpetual motion machine isn't as convenient as I thought.'
Qin Siyang grumbled while pulling out the venom boar's tusks.
'As my Sequence level increases, the requirements for eating gods also rise. Why didn't the panel in my head give me a reminder about this?'
'And that bird eye that helped me awaken my Sequence—so irresponsible...'
Just as Qin Siyang said this, he suddenly felt an intense wave of fear sweep over him.
It was as if a terrifying gaze was looking down upon him.
He quickly raised his head and scanned the starry sky.
But he found nothing unusual.
'That chill just now... was it just my imagination?'
He shook his head and stored the tusks in his backpack.
'Eating small gods' meat doesn't give me any improvement anymore. At this rate, even if I eat thousands of Serpent-Body Venom Boars, I might not advance in Sequence. The efficiency is too low—just eating alone would exhaust me.'
He abandoned this time-wasting practice, left the boar's corpse behind, and continued forward.
As he walked, gods kept throwing themselves at him without him even needing to search.
After about three hours, he had already collected over 30 God-Hunting Points' worth of Round Plate Armor.
After finishing off another Serpent-Body Venom Boar, he was rather dissatisfied.
'No wonder Sequence ability users all flock here—hunting gods here is way too easy.'
'If I stayed here until the special recruitment started, working one day and resting the next, I could easily rack up a few thousand points.'
'I was wondering how one or two thousand special recruits had higher God-Hunting Points than me. Turns out it's just this easy to farm points.'
Qin Siyang muttered as he walked.
'If Florence could sponsor me to stay here until the recruitment ended, that'd be great.'
'Then again, that wouldn't work. If I take his help, I'd owe him. That'd mean I'd have to go to Nanrong University, right? Maybe I should go talk to Old Li instead…'
Qin Siyang continued forward.
Not far away, a small team struggling to fight a Serpent-Body Venom Boar watched Qin Siyang's departing figure in shock.
While they were still locked in battle, Qin Siyang had just kicked one to death with a single strike.
"The boar's waist is its toughest part. How did he kill it with just one kick? That's at least Sequence Level 5 strength!"
"To go from Sequence Level 3 to 4 takes 400 bottles of Sequence potions, and from 4 to 5 takes 2000 bottles—that's at least 20,000 points. Why would someone with that many points be hanging around Safe Zone Exit 207? Shouldn't he be at one of the top 200 exits?"
"Exactly! This is way too demoralizing—I feel like a total weakling!"
