Chen Qiang: "If a single fart can snap a tree, imagine if it hits a person! Wouldn't that blast someone to death? That's insane!"
Zhang Sheng: "Your ability is definitely stronger than mine!"
Li Chengguang: "If only I had such an amazing ability..."
Yang Xuliang: "It's powerful, sure, but it has a major drawback. Every time I let one out, my pants explode. I've been walking around with my bare butt ever since."
Everyone: "…"
Xu Damao: "I have an idea—next time, take your pants off before you fart."
Yang Xuliang: "That's actually a decent idea… but it's kind of humiliating."
Xu Damao: "Better than blowing your pants to shreds and walking around naked."
Yang Xuliang: "Fair point."
At this moment, Han Feng couldn't help but chime in: "I have a question—how do I activate my ability?"
Su Lin: "You don't know?"
Han Feng: "Nope."
Su Lin: "There are plenty of guides in the world chat, including ones that explain how to use abilities."
Han Feng: "Got it, I'll check them out later."
Wu Dahai: "No need for all that trouble, I can just tell you. It's simple—just use your mind to control it. But be careful—using abilities consumes mental energy. The stronger the ability, the more energy it drains. Once your mental energy runs out, you won't be able to use your ability anymore."
Han Feng: "Understood. Thanks!"
With that, Han Feng closed the chat panel and focused on the wound on his hand. He activated his ability, and immediately, a soft white light glowed from his fingertips, seeping into the wound.
A cool, soothing sensation spread through the injury—it felt incredibly refreshing.
In the next instant, the wound began to heal at a visible speed.
Within seconds, it was completely restored, leaving no trace of a scar.
"Amazing!"
Han Feng marveled at the effect, then quickly healed the wound on his leg as well.
Once done, he pulled up his status panel.
Using abilities consumed mental energy—he needed to know exactly how much he had spent.
Status Panel:
Survivor: Han Feng
Region: 10086
Level: 1
Experience: 17/100
Attributes:
Strength: 8
Agility: 10
Defense: 5
Mental Energy: 11 → 4 (Auto-recovering, 1 point per hour)
Ability: Healing
"Not bad," Han Feng muttered to himself.
Using his ability twice had only consumed four points of mental energy—completely manageable. Plus, since mental energy regenerated automatically, there was nothing to worry about.
Just as he was about to close the panel, he suddenly noticed something odd—his experience points had increased by 17.
What's going on?
He hadn't done anything. Why did his experience increase?
Han Feng thought for a moment, then suddenly realized—earlier, he had killed two beetles and about fifteen locusts, which added up to seventeen.
So… each kill grants one experience point?
That means if he kills 83 more creatures, he'll reach level 2?
Excitement surged within Han Feng. He was tempted to rush into the grasslands and wipe out every last locust.
But after some thought, he decided against it.
With his current strength, taking on that many locusts wasn't realistic. The risk was too high.
For now, his top priority should still be gathering food.
Once he had enough supplies, he could plan his attacks carefully.
A little while later, Han Feng ate a piece of bread and drank half a bottle of water to regain his strength. Then, he stepped out of his shelter.
Just as he opened the wooden gate, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Human, you can't play favorites!"
Han Feng paused. "What do you mean?"
Wooden Fence: "You're feeding that thatch hut, but you should get me some wood too!"
Han Feng frowned. "What do you need wood for?"
Wooden Fence: "To upgrade, of course!"
Han Feng's eyes flickered. "You can upgrade too?"
Wooden Fence: "If the thatch hut can level up, why wouldn't I be able to?"
Han Feng smirked. "Beg me."
Wooden Fence: "…"
After a moment of silence, the wooden fence huffed, "We're on the same team. If I get stronger, I can protect you better! How do you not understand that? And you want me to beg you? What's wrong with you?"
Han Feng thought about it and realized the fence had a point. He nodded. "Alright, I'll help you gather wood. But there's one problem—I don't have an axe. I can't cut down trees."
Wooden Fence: "You have a shovel, don't you? You can use that. It'll take longer, but it works."
Shovel: "I'm made for digging, not chopping trees! Can you at least respect me a little? Have you even considered my feelings?"
Wooden Fence: "You need a broader perspective! Don't be so narrow-minded about your purpose!"
Shovel: "If you're so broad-minded, why don't you go chop trees?"
Wooden Fence: "My job is to defend our base! You want me to chop trees? Are you brain-dead?!"
Shovel: "…"
Han Feng cleared his throat. "Alright, enough arguing. We're all on the same team. Let's not fight over little things."
Wooden Fence: "Fine, for your sake, I won't hold it against the little shovel."
Shovel: "You little—!"
Han Feng shook his head and ignored them, heading straight for the beach.
The beach was a dangerous place—one wrong step, and he could lose his life.
But compared to other areas, the beach had an abundance of food. He decided to take the risk and see what he could find.
However, before he could take more than a few steps, a familiar voice called out.
"Han Feng!"
Han Feng stopped and turned.
A petite girl with curly blonde hair, standing about 1.6 meters tall, came bouncing toward him with a bright smile.
It was Yue Lingshan!
"You need something?" Han Feng asked with a faint smile.
"Zhao Jie is calling for a meeting," Yue Lingshan said, dimples appearing on her cheeks as she grinned.
"Not interested." Han Feng rejected her immediately.
A meeting? What a waste of time. He'd rather be out gathering food.
"I think you should go. This meeting isn't just about resource distribution—we're also electing a team leader."
Yue Lingshan's tone grew serious.
"A team leader?"
Han Feng's mind started working.
If he became the leader, he'd have control over resource distribution. That meant more food, better tools, and greater influence.
This was worth fighting for.
"Alright, I'll go."
Han Feng nodded.
Together, they walked toward the meeting spot.
Five minutes later, they arrived at a massive tree.
This was the shelter where Yue Lingshan and her team were based.
