Chapter 6: Cheat Codes, Synthesis and Transformation

"Huff, huff," Chen Hao leaned against a tree, his knife stuck in the soil, panting heavily.

Beside him lay a wild boar, lying in a pool of blood.

This was a young sow who had come out alone to forage for food and happened to run into Chen Hao and his group.

Thus, with the combined efforts of the four, Chen Hao slit the throat of the sow.

Although the battle lasted only a short time, it still took a toll on Chen Hao.

Fortunately, it was all worth it.

He looked at the cards inside his body with excitement.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 1-star common creature—the Jungle Black Boar—and obtained two 1-star cards.]

[One-Star Supply Card (White) - 5 catties Fresh Water: Drinkable]

[One-Star Supply Card (White) - 2 Jin of Meat Chunks: Edible]

Two more supply cards. If that were all, Chen Hao wouldn't feel any excitement.

But with the appearance of these two resource cards, Chen Hao unlocked his cheat code.

[Three identical cards detected within the host. Card synthesis and conversion function activated.]

[Card Synthesis: Three identical cards can be combined to upgrade into a higher-level card]

[Card Conversion: Consume ten identical cards to randomly convert them into other types of cards within the same star rating. The level is random.]

This is the main reason why Chen Hao was excited.

"Unfortunately, we're still short seven supply water cards."

Chen Hao sighed.

These cards are not easy to collect; even the lowest-level white cards can only be obtained by killing wild beasts.

"Everyone, lend a hand, let's carry this wild boar carcass out of the forest together."

"it is good."

So Chen Hao used his long knife to cut off a tree branch as thick as an arm, while the others took out a bundle of rope from their backpacks, tied the wild boar to the branch, and carried it out of the forest.

Shortly after Chen Hao and the others left, an even larger wild boar appeared.

It sniffed the bloodstains on the ground and immediately let out a loud squeal.

Wild boars have a keen sense of smell, and it followed the scent all the way.

At this moment, Chen Hao and the others were unaware that an even larger wild boar was chasing after them.

"arrive."

Following the marks they had made earlier, Chen Hao and his three companions, carrying the carcass of the wild boar they had killed, finally arrived at the cement plaza.

By this time, several groups of people had gathered on the cement square.

When they saw Chen Hao and his three companions carrying a wild boar out of the forest, they were utterly shocked and immediately surrounded them.

"That's a wild boar, how did you manage that?"

A bald man wearing a checkered shirt and glasses asked curiously.

He looks like a programmer.

"I just happened to run into them, so I killed them."

Chen Hao said calmly.

The other party was speechless.

Although he had never killed a wild boar, he knew that wild boars were quite powerful fighters and that ordinary people couldn't kill them.

"Hey bro, are you selling these wild boars?"

More people are asking this question.

Clearly, everyone knows the importance of food.

"I have money."

There was also a fat man waving a stack of red bills in front of Chen Hao.

Chen Hao pushed him aside, saying, "Do you think I'm stupid? In this world, what use is the old money? It's too hard even to wipe your butt."

The fat man blushed with embarrassment after being rebuked with just one sentence.

"However, there's not enough pork for the four of us to eat. Does anyone have a card that can be exchanged for ten pounds of fresh pork here, no matter what kind it is?"

Chen Hao said loudly.

"Cards? What cards?"

Most people looked puzzled.

They are unaware that killing wild beasts has a chance of yielding cards.

Chen Hao didn't explain. He placed the wild boar carcass in the center of the cement square and stood there, wondering if anyone would take the bait.

"Brother Chen, we've collected almost all the branches."

At this moment, Liu Wei came to Chen Hao's side and pointed to a pile of dry branches and a plastic bag of leaves not far away.

Xue Ming stood guard beside the pile of branches, his eyes alert.

"it is good."

Chen Hao nodded.

"What is Xue Ming doing there? He looks so wary. Is someone stealing something?"

"Yes," Liu Wei nodded quickly, and said angrily, "Someone really stole it."

"Someone actually stole this?"

"Yes, they're afraid to go into the forest, so they just want to take what's readily available."

"So, later Xue Ming and I took turns picking up the branches and guarding them, which is how we managed to save those branches."

Chen Hao was speechless after hearing this.

"Then go up there and call a few more people down to collect more branches."

"I see that some people have already learned from you and started collecting these things. If they want to collect them again in the future, they will have to go to the deeper forests, which will undoubtedly be much more dangerous."

"Okay, I'll go get someone right away."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei nodded quickly and ran into the building.

No sooner had he left than someone approached him.

"Brother, is what you just said true?"

"What did you say?"

"Any card can be exchanged for ten pounds of fresh wild boar meat."

"Of course, do you have a card?"

Chen Hao looked at him with a suspicious expression.

"Of course, you see."

As he spoke, the person carefully took out a white card.

Chen Hao's eyes lit up, and he reached out, but the other person quickly dodged and looked at Chen Hao warily.

"Give me the meat first."

"it is good."

Chen Hao raised his long knife and cut off a long strip of meat covered in black pig bristles.

"About ten pounds, you can weigh it in your hand."

Chen Hao handed the meat strips to the other person, who took them and weighed them in his hand. They were quite heavy, and he nodded in approval.

"Can."

With that, he handed the white card to Chen Hao and quickly left.

Chen Hao looked at it and understood.

[One-Star Supply Card (White) - 2 Jin of Meat Chunks: Edible]

"No wonder you ran so fast, you were probably afraid I would change my mind."

After all, no one would make a deal to exchange 2 pounds of meat for 10 pounds of meat.

If Chen Hao didn't have that golden touch, he wouldn't have made such a losing deal.

"Too bad, it's not a water card."

Feeling somewhat regretful, Chen Hao put the white card into his body.

Any unused card can be stored in the body at any time. Once used, the card disappears and can no longer be used.

Currently, Chen Hao has three water cards and three meat cards in his body.

"I wonder if anyone else has tried to trade a card for meat."

Chen Hao looked at the people around him expectantly.

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

"ah."

The piercing screams drew the attention of everyone in the concrete square.

Suddenly, a large wild boar, about 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder and nearly 3 meters long, ran out of the forest.

A person standing right in front of the wild boar was headbutted and sent flying, landing on the ground with a thud; it was clear he was going to die.

The moment Chen Hao saw the giant wild boar, his pupils contracted sharply.

"run."

Chen Hao shouted to Zhao Long and the other two beside him, and immediately ran towards the building.

Zhao Long and the other two realized what was happening, their faces turned pale, and they quickly followed Chen Hao, running into the building without looking back.

They knew that the large wild boar was likely looking for them, since they had just killed one.

Seeing this, the others also screamed and scattered.

Sure enough, the big wild boar immediately ran to the dead wild boar carcass.

After nudging the other side with its snout and finding no reaction, the wild boar's eyes instantly turned red.

With a mournful howl, the wild boar charged into the building, following the scent of Chen Hao and his companions.

The sturdy tempered glass door was smashed to pieces.

Then it started rampaging through the lobby on the first floor.
