Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Vincent’s eyes turned cold.

Judging from the sound, the monster at the bottom of the lake was likely a powerful opponent.

Whoosh!

A light blue shadow suddenly darted out.

It was about the same length as an adult’s forearm.

Vincent dodged it. At the same time, he used his Purgatory Blade to sweep across it. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

“Awooo!”

The monster let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground. It struggled a few times and died immediately.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an intermediate-level monster, Shallow Leech. You have received one upgrade pill.”

“Do you wish to take it?”

“Not for the time being.”

Vincent looked at the Shallow Leech corpse that had half of its body hooked off by the Purgatory Blade. He was stunned for a long time.

He thought the monster would be terrifying. However, in the end, it was only an intermediate-level monster.

Moreover, the Shallow Leech’s combat ability after leaving the water was very low.

It relied purely on its speed to attack people secretly.

According to the monster illustrations, the high-level Shallow Leech was as fast as a bullet.

Obviously, the shallow leech did not possess such speed.

However, Vincent was very curious. The Shallow Leech had always been in groups.

Why was there only one?

Vincent did not think too much about it. He put away the crystals and corpses. He then began to set up the surroundings.

Just as he turned his back, a bunch of shallow leeches suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake. They were not calm.

Vincent did not have time to dodge at all. He could only release Hellfire to wrap himself up.

He was not sure what would happen if he was hit by the Shallow Leech.

The blood-sucking characteristics of the Shallow Leech alone were enough to make it difficult for Vincent to escape.

The moment the Shadow Leeches touched Hellfire, they disappeared.

The kill notification in Vincent’s mind kept ringing. He lost track of the number of kills he had gotten.

Ten minutes later, the system notification finally stopped.

This also proved that the Shadow Leeches were all dead.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for accumulating 1,000 items of the same type. The exchange function has been activated.”

“Please wait a moment...”

“Ding! The exchange function has been activated. Please check it yourself.”

Vincent did not understand what the function was, but he felt like it was similar to using points to exchange items in Quinn.

In fact, it was really similar.

It was just that the system’s exchange function used a barter system instead.

Anything could be accepted. The system would give a value assessment and exchange it for points. One could then use the points to exchange for other things within the system.

The system had a variety of things, from sewing to top-grade SSS items. Everything was available.

This function made Vincent very happy.

It was like carrying an all-purpose department store!

This would undoubtedly solve all of Vincent’s worries in the wild.

Missing medicine?

Small problem, find the system to exchange!

Broken equipment?

Small problem, find the system to exchange!

Uncomfortable living in the wild at night?

Small problem, find the system to exchange!

…

Vincent was immersed in the exchange function and was unable to extricate himself.

On one hand, it was really convenient.

On the other hand, the points that were needed to exchange for items were not high; even the highest SSS-Class psionic blade was only worth a few hundred million points.

What was the difference between that and giving it away for free?

In the outside world, if one did not have a few hundred billion psionic coins, there was no need to even think about buying anything.

Of course, this was just simply a thought.

If one really wanted to buy it, the psionic coins required were simply an astronomical figure.

And who would be poor enough to sell a psionic weapon of this level?

They were all used to exchange for other items of the same level.

To put it bluntly, it was bartering.

However, the system was different.

Everything could be exchanged for points. One could then proceed to purchase anything he wants. It was simply too convenient and easy.

Vincent took a long time to calm down.

As he continued to check the function joyfully, his expression suddenly froze.

An item like an upgrade pill that could be sold at a sky-high price was estimated by the system to be worth 0.01 points.

Even if Vincent had 1,000 upgrade pills and exchanged all of them, it would only be worth 10 points.

An all-rounded recovery potion that was worth 100,000 psionic coins was actually cheaper than an upgrade pill!

0.005 exchange points!

“This...”

Vincent felt like his dream was shattered.

If that was the case, it would not be easy to exchange for an SSS-Class psionic weapon.

Vincent sighed. He then continued to get busy.

However, the heavens seemed to be opposing him.

He had been ambushed again!

Vincent, who was already in a bad mood because of the exchange points, was immediately angered.

“F*ck! Are you done yet?”

He took his Purgatory Blade and immediately set Hellfire to its maximum and lashed out.

Dang!

The Purgatory Blade did not cause any damage.

“Eh!”

Vincent’s arm went numb. He immediately knew that he had met a worthy opponent. He then used the recoil to flip himself over to increase the distance between them.

At the same time, a claw descended from the sky and landed on where he stood earlier.

The claw had three toes on the front and one on the back. Its entire foot was covered in green scales and was extremely thick.

Its one toe was three times the length of Vincent, and its thickness was twice the size of Vincent.

“F*ck! A Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex!”

Vincent looked at the monster that was the size of a small mountain and opened his eyes and mouth widely.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was a high-level monster and had an overlord-level existence. It had wings, could dive, fly, spew fire, and run at the speed of sound waves.

It was the only monster that could fight above its level and win.

In other words, the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex had the combat strength of a special-level monster.

“F*ck! F*ck!”

Vincent cursed twice. He put away his Purgatory Blade and turned to run.

With his current level and combat strength, fighting the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was not training at all. He was simply courting death.

However, although he did not want to fight with the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex, it did not mean that the monster would let him go.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex spread its legs and rushed towards Vincent.

Vincent ran fifty meters with all his strength, but compared to the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex, it did not even have to take a step.

“F*ck! Why is there a Tyrannosaurus here!”

Vincent turned at a right angle and narrowly avoided the claws of the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.

As the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was facing a weak human like Vincent, it was very angry when it did not kill him in one stroke.

It roared. It then opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of flames at Vincent.

The flames were fan-shaped and covered a very large area. Vincent had nowhere to hide.

Similarly, William had arranged to follow Vincent.

After feeling the heatwave behind him, Vincent’s expression changed drastically. He quickly released Hellfire.

The black flames completely enveloped him. The flames of the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex could not harm Vincent at all.

However, there was a problem.

Hellfire consumed the psionic power in Vincent’s body at an extremely rapid speed. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

On the other hand, the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex’s flames were an innate ability that did not consume any psionic power.

As time passed, it was only a matter of time before Vincent was burned to death.

“Monster Affinity!”

Vincent stuffed the psionic power recovery potion into his mouth as he casted Monster Affinity.

This caused the psionic power that was being consumed at an extremely fast rate to be consumed even faster.

This would happen regardless of how many bottles of psionic power recovery potion he consumed.

No matter how much psionic power recovery potion he consumed, it would still not be enough to make ends meet.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was suddenly stunned. The human in front of it gave it a very familiar feeling.

A voice in its heart kept telling it not to hurt him.

Monsters relied on their instincts to act. It was rare for them to think.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was the former.

It absorbed its flames and looked at Vincent with curiosity.

Vincent was also very surprised.

Although he knew how powerful Monster’s Affinity was, he did not expect it to be so powerful.

He wanted to give it a try, but he did not expect it to really save his life.

As he heaved a sigh of relief, Vincent reassessed the power of his Monster Affinity.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex lowered its head. Its nostrils were bigger than Vincent’s. Every time it breathed, Vincent’s clothes and hair would fly up.

Vincent’s muscles tensed up. He was afraid that the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex would swallow him whole.

The man and the monster stared at each other for ten minutes.

“Roar!”

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly raised its head and roared.

Vincent was shocked and took out his Purgatory Blade instinctively.

However, he did not expect to see the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex spread its wings and fly away instead.
