[Congratulations, Host: For slaying the Level 3 Mutated Fierce Beast, Iron Money Leopard King, you've been awarded 1 million exchange points.]
[Congratulations, Host: For retrieving the corpse of the Level 3 Leopard King, you've been awarded 1 million exchange points.]
[Congratulations, Host: For recovering a Level 3 crystal nucleus, you've been awarded 1 million exchange points.]
[Current exchange point balance: 84.2 million.]
Chen Wei took a moment to appreciate his exchange points, nearly breaching the 90 million threshold. He caught his breath and glanced at the time; it was just past four in the morning.
"There's still time!"
A spark of determination flickered in Chen Wei's eyes. He couldn't afford to let up—not until the very end. He resumed his quest to hunt down Level 2 and Level 3 Mutated Fierce Beasts.
Before long, the system's prompt echoed in Chen Wei's mind once more, informing him that he had vanquished the Silver Moon Wolf King and earned an additional 3 million exchange points.
"This intermediate-level, All-purpose Robot really packs a punch—it can even take down a Level 3 Beast King."
The notification brought a mysterious gleam to Chen Wei's eyes.
He had initially assumed that a beginner robot was only capable of hunting Level 1 mutated fierce beasts and that an intermediate robot could handle Level 2. But to his astonishment, the intermediate robot had managed to slay a Level 3 Beast King.
It was common knowledge that a Level 2 weapon was ineffective against a Level 3 Beast King. To defeat such a formidable opponent, one would typically need to rely on their own combat abilities.
The system clarified, "The robot's classification into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels corresponds to the levels of mutated fierce beasts. Levels 1 to 3 are considered beginner, levels 4 to 6 are intermediate, levels 7 to 9 are advanced, and level 10 is the ultimate."
"This classification applies to each major level of fierce beast."
"The Intermediate All-purpose Robot is capable of hunting mutated fierce beasts ranging from levels 4 to 6!"
Sensing Chen Wei's bewilderment, the system's voice chimed in once again.
Chen Wei gave a slight nod, absorbing the information without further comment. He then refocused his efforts on tracking down the elusive figures of mutated fierce beasts.
Throughout this process, his exchange points continued to soar, albeit at a much slower pace than before. The reason? He had unleashed ten robots in a frenzied killing spree, scaring off many of the mutated beasts. Now, only a few remained in the area.
"We're on the verge of breaking 90 million exchange points," Chen Wei noted.
Considering that the Intermediate All-purpose Robots could take down mutated beasts ranging from levels 4 to 6, he realized it was an ideal situation. "There are still three level-4 mutants in this region. They'll be perfect for a field test."
A glint of gold sparked in Chen Wei's eyes as he summoned the ten robots and issued a new command: "Split into three groups and hunt down the level-4 mutated beasts in this area."
The robots, now resembling burly men, responded in unison, "Understood, Master."
With a slight nod and a wave of his hand, Chen Wei commanded, "Move out!"
One Intermediate All-purpose Robot alone could handle a level-4 mutant. Grouped in threes, and with one team even boasting four robots, the beasts didn't stand a chance.
"I can't afford to let up, not until I reach 100 million exchange points. The hunt must go on!" Chen Wei resolved, eyeing his current tally of 89.5 million.
Without hesitation, he set off to continue his pursuit of the beasts.
Just then, the system chimed in with an update: the crops, livestock, and fish from the farm, livestock farm, and fishery were ready for harvest. Soon after, the sounds of collection filled the air.
The system had autonomously harvested rare crops, rewarding 2.1 million exchange points. It had captured livestock, adding another 2 million, and fished out a bounty worth 3 million points. Following a flurry of exchanges for crops, young animals, and fish, 1.2 million points were deducted.
His balance now stood at 95.64 million.
Seeing his account surge past 90 million, just 4.6 million shy of the threshold to acquire a defensive nuclear energy shield, Chen Wei couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement.
As time progressed, Chen Wei became increasingly desperate in his efforts.
His concern grew with the fear that a fiery red flame might suddenly ignite above the firmament and plummet straight down to earth.
Glancing at the clock, he realized it was nearing five in the morning.
"Dawn is breaking soon; there's no time to waste."
Chen Wei surveyed the map, noting the red dots indicating the location of the mutated fierce beasts. The second-level and higher had already fled the area, and even the first-level ones had made an early exit, leaving only a scattering of the creatures behind.
Even if he were to hunt down every remaining beast, the numbers would fall short, amounting to merely a few dozen.
What brought Chen Wei a modicum of comfort was that the three Level-4 mutated fierce beasts hadn't vacated the vicinity. They had remained stationary, their positions unchanged on the map since the outset.
Now, apart from the three conspicuous large red dots, ten small green dots had appeared.
These represented the ten Intermediate All-purpose Robots Chen Wei had redeemed.
He eyed the cluster of four green dots on the map and set off in pursuit.
The four Intermediate All-purpose Robots were more than capable of taking down a Level-4 mutated fierce beast.
To expedite the hunt, Chen Wei decided to join the fray, effectively making it a five-on-one battle against the Level-4 creature.
With Lightning Step activated, his feet crackled with electric energy, casting arcs of light that slithered around like thumb-thick silver serpents.
Buzz!
Like a specter, Chen Wei darted through the nocturnal forest with incredible speed.
He quickly caught up with the four Intermediate All-purpose Robots.
The robots had already reached the vicinity of the Level-4 mutated fierce beast and had begun their encirclement.
Upon his arrival, Chen Wei instantly spotted the beast.
It was hard to miss; the creature's sheer size was astounding.
The term 'huge' was an understatement—it was colossal, resembling a mountain in stature.
The Level-4 mutated fierce beast before him was an enormous white snake, its body coiling upon itself in towering loops, so massive it sent a shiver down Chen Wei's spine. Looking up, the snake's body seemed to wind into the heavens, akin to a lofty peak.
The white snake reared its head towards the sky, its gaping maw open wide, greedily consuming the crimson energy emanating from the blood moon. Its scales rhythmically expanded and contracted in response.
"Whoosh!"
Yet, in an abrupt shift, the white snake ceased its absorption of the moonlight. With a swift twist of its head, the serpent's icy gaze immediately fixed on Chen Wei.
