Chapter 7
Gathering and Manufacturing Both Level Up
On the vast prairie, the plants grew especially luxuriant and bright.
Here, even the ordinary grass was half the height of a person.
The rich grass attracted a large number of herbivores here.
Most of them were Yaks with two long horns.
They formed groups and swept through the grasslands, resting on the spot when they were tired.
There was a small group of Long-horned Yaks lying on the grassland, occasionally letting out a comfortable cry.
Roar!
Roar!
Suddenly, the roar of a tiger came from somewhere.
The Yaks, which had been resting comfortably, suddenly stood up nervously.
Pairs of bull eyes were wide open as they looked around.
To their horror, they discovered that the ferocious White Tigers were like sharp arrows, rapidly approaching them.
Buzzzzzz!
The Yak Leader fearfully issued an order to escape.
The herd of Yaks immediately began to flee in all directions without a reason.
Among the attacking White Tigers, the largest White Tiger charged at the front. It seemed to be the leader of the entire White Tiger group.
However, upon closer inspection, a handsome man wearing beast clothes and holding a spear was riding on its back.
“Slaughter them!”
The man ordered.
The group of White Tigers moved even faster, quickly approaching the fleeing Yaks.
Roar!
The tiger’s roar soared to the sky.
The White Tigers pounced on their prey.
They were the fiercest predators. As long as they pounced on their prey, they would open their bloody mouths and bite the neck of their prey. They would not let go until the prey stopped struggling.
[Your pet, The White Tiger, has killed the Long-horned Yak. You have gained 100 experience points.]
[Your pet, the White Tiger, has killed the Long-horned Yak. You have gained 100 experience points.]
…
Su Ming sat on Da Bai’s back and observed his surroundings while experiencing the joy of his experience points increasing rapidly.
In this game, when a pet killed a beast, its master could also share the experience points.
He might not have shared much of his experience, but Su Ming had a lot of pets!
In just ten minutes, he had gained more than 1000 experience points.
This was much better than him holding a stone spear and scraping the sand!
Not long ago, Su Ming had also discovered that the ‘bug’ in the game had disappeared!
The time freeze seemed to have been restored the moment he successfully tamed the White Tiger.
Su Ming was not sure if there was a direct connection between the two.
But that was not important.
The game had to return to normal!
[Your pet, the White Tiger, has killed the Long-horned Yak. You have gained 100 experience points.]
[Congratulations on leveling up. You are currently Level 9!]
Finally, the hunting of the White Tigers ended.
Su Ming had also reached Level 9 and was only one step away from Level 10.
As long as he reached Level 10, he would be able to get another big growth gift pack!
Su Ming thought with anticipation.
But now, he still needed to clean up these spoils of war.
Su Ming ordered the White Tigers to gather all the Yaks’ corpses together.
In a short while, the corpses piled up like a small mountain.
“Harvest!”
Su Ming started using collect on the Yaks’ corpses.
[Notification: You have collected Yak skin x1]
[Notification: You have collected Yak meat x10]
[Notification: You have collected Yak tendon x1]
…
[Notification: With your relentless collection, your gathering skill has been upgraded to Level 2!]
“My gathering skill has been upgraded!”
Su Ming was delighted.
[Collect]
[Level: 2 (0/2000)]
[Effect 1: Gathering efficiency +40%, gathering destruction rate increases by 40%.]
[Effect 2: Extremely low chance of collecting rare items.]
After the upgrade of gathering, the effect had doubled. Not only did the efficiency increase, but it was also easier to collect complete items.
The second effect was also easy to understand, which was to collect rare items.
Su Ming’s gathering skill was at the Grandmaster level in his previous life. He knew very well that as his gathering skill level increased, the chances of him gathering rare items would also increase.
“Let’s take it slow!”
Su Ming sighed.
Life skills could only be improved by using them again and again to increase their proficiency, and it could not be rushed.
At that moment, Su Ming used the gathering skill on the remaining Yaks.
[Notification: You have collected Yak skin x2]
[Notification: You have collected Yak horns x2]
[Notification: You have collected Yak meat x50]
…
[Notification: Congratulations, you have collected a rare item, Yak heart blood *1]
“I’ve collected a rare item!”
Su Ming was shocked and immediately started checking.
[Yak blood]
[Description: The blood essence of a Long-horned Yak. It has nurtured a rich amount of energy.]
[Effect: All attributes +1 after consumption (only effective once).]
“Good stuff! It can increase all attributes!”
Su Ming was overjoyed. He immediately took it out from his bag and swallowed it.
Immediately, he felt a wave of heat flow down his throat from his mouth and spread all over his body, making him feel warm.
He checked his own attributes.

[Level: 9]
[HP: 150/150]
[Mana: 80/80]
[Attack: 36+5]
[Defense: 15+5]

[Mental strength: 16]
Free attribute points: 0
Free skill points: 5
[Equipment: rattan armor, stone spear ]
[Life skills: gathering Level 2, crafting Level 1, taming Level 1]
[Combat skills: None]
Compared to when he had just entered the game, his strength had already had a qualitative breakthrough.
Not only did his basic attributes increase by three times, but he also learned three life skills!
Su Ming sucked in a deep breath.
At this rate, even the top ten players in his previous life would fall far behind!
Even if those three-bodied people arrived, they might still have a chance to fight with him!
…
Very soon, Su Ming was done with his collection.
He was surprised to find that his backpack was already full of items.
There was still a large pile of Yak meat, tendons, and skin in front of him.
Su Ming thought about it and adhered to the principle of not giving up and not wasting anything.
He took out a simple crafting table and started to manufacture.
Under his skillful hands, items were created one by one.
[Notification: You have made a leather coat!]
[Notification: You have made a leather hat!]
[Notification: You have made leather shoes!]
…
[Notification: Under your skillful operation, your manufacturing skill has greatly improved. Your [Manufacturing] skill has reached Level 2!]
The system’s notifications appeared one after another, and Su Ming looked through them.

[Effect 1: Production efficiency +40%, production success rate +40%, production quality +40%]
[Effect 2: During crafting, there is an extremely low chance of increasing the quality of the crafted item by 1.]
