Meng Lin commented, [What the heck! Didn’t you guys say that it was just one or two wooden planks? This Oannes is about to empty me out! And why does it look different from the Oanneses we saw during the day?]

[No, we’re all in the same situation.]

[Not all of them. I only gave it four wooden planks but my heart ached so much!]

Meng Lin commented, [Four wooden planks? It’s indeed a little strange. It seems that these Oanneses have a certain basis for their material demands]

[Could… Could it be because of your ranking, Meng Ling?]

Meng Lin asked, [My ranking?]

[That’s right, and from your description, it should be an E-Class Oannes.]

Meng Lin asked, [Oanneses have different classes?]

[Of course. Ever since some players saw the large Oannes, they started to divide them into different classes. The most common Oanneses that fight for treasure chests are F-Class Oanneses, the ones one level higher are E-Class, and the biggest one is only D-class. As for whether there are higher-class Oanneses, these are the only three types that we know.]

[That’s right. This is the name with the highest recognition so far. It’s calculated from the lowest talent rank, F-rank.]

[Is there anything to compare? It’s just an F-rank Oannes and it can beat up me, a C-rank talent!]

[Why are you being so serious? It’s just for the sake of convenience.]

“Hey System, check the ranking,” Meng Lin said.

Comprehensive Strength Ranking

1st Place: Meng Lin.

2nd Place: Wu Qingfeng.

3rd Place: Su Bai.

4th Place: Liu Cunzhuang.

5th Place: Lin Zicheng.

6th Place: Chai Yubian.

…

Meng Lin was taken aback. After he had obtained the blueprint for normal fishing rods, he started to make them madly. With the accumulated materials, he attracted many players to join his alliance.

Unknowingly, Meng Lin was already at the top of the ranking.

Meng Lin laughed, “Hahaha. I’m actually in first place and Su Bai is only in third place! It seems that Su Bai is just so-so!”

Meng Lin was no longer irritated when he considered that. It was the price of coming in the first place and it was worth it as long as he could step on Su Bai.

The day passed by quickly.

During the day, Su Bai collected all the materials for his Bag’s upgrade.

Bag was successfully upgraded.

Capacity: 100

Maximum stack per item: 999

The entire procedure went very smoothly. There would always be Oanneses who couldn’t resist the allure of twenty silver chests and would rush to the island.

Su Bai didn’t reject them. He punched them one after another to his heart’s content.

Now that his Bag had been upgraded, he didn’t have to keep storing the items in the Warehouse.

When the night fell, the Oanneses took turns knocking on the door again.

On the Chat page.

[Bro, I’m finished. Why did the F-class Oannes ask for so many things? It took all my materials!]

[You’re better than me. I’ve already emptied my pockets, but it’s still not satisfied. That Oannes beat me up, and now I have nothing left. How am I going to live from now on?]

[Hurry up and borrow some materials or go to your Warehouse to get them. Get through the night first.]

Warning: The Oanneses are in a rage.

Current number of players in the area: 86437/100000

[Why are there so many people missing?]

[Can’t you tell? It’s definitely those people with lower talent ranks. They didn’t have many materials, to begin with, and now they couldn’t hand it over, so they were killed.]

[Who has more materials? Please lend me some, I don’t want to be beaten up!]

[You’re on your own. Who would lend you anything at a time like this? Can’t you see that so many people have lost their lives because they can’t take out anything!]

[Fortunately, I still have some materials in my Warehouse. I hope I can get through the night.]

The sudden change caused everyone to panic.

They had thought that it was just inconvenient to fish, but now their life was in danger.]

Su Bai wasn’t worried about these F-class Oanneses. He wanted to see an E-class Oannes instead.

He always felt that these high-level Oanneses would definitely produce better materials through recycling.

After a whole day of waiting, Su Bai still didn’t see a single E-class Oannes.

KNOCK KNOCK

A few knocks sounded on the other side of Su Bai’s door.

“Hehe. I’m coming already. Can you afford to pay for the door you broke?”

Su Bai got off the bed and opened the door while cursing.

When he opened the door, he saw a big guy.

“Hey System, Hurry and check this Oannes’s combat power!”

Oannes

Due to some unknown reason, it has mutated. Its strength has greatly increased, and it now has higher attack and resistance.

Combat power: 50

“It’s not much of a threat.” Su Bai smirked.

POW!

Su Bai slapped the Oannes’s hand.

The Oannes’s disdainful face turned ferocious in the next second.

“Oh my God! How can you be so ugly?”

POW! POW!

Two more slaps landed on the Oannes’s face.

The E-class Oannes was completely enraged. It wanted to smash the human in front of it into a meat patty!

The Oannes raised its left hand and slapped Su Bai’s head! It seemed to have predicted that Su Bai would die under its slap.

However, the Oannes left hand met with resistance halfway and stopped there, unable to move.

When the Oannes took a closer look, it realized that the human in front of him was actually using one of his hands to strangle its left hand.

Su Bai was looking at the Oannes with a smile.

“I’m not going to play with you anymore. I’ll send you on your way now.”

As soon as he said that, Su Bai’s right hand increased in strength.

The Oannes found that its left hand could not move, so it tried to attack with its right hand.

Su Bai dodged it. Then he exerted force in his right hand. With the sound of bones breaking, the Oannes’s left hand was twisted.

The sudden pain made the Oannes stop its attack and let out a shrill scream.

Without stopping, Su Bai grabbed the right hand of the Oannes and pulled it off. Then he punched the Oannes’s head.

After doing all this, the Oannes was already lying on the ground, dead.

Su Bai skillfully threw the dead body of the Oannes into the recycling plant.

After all, the Oannes Su Bai killed this time was an E-class, which was much higher than the F-class Oannes he had killed before.

Recycling…

Recycling Successful: Lost Oannes x 1. Obtained Meat x 3, Oannes Skin x 1, Island Upgrade Core x 1.

“Hey System, quickly check the island upgrade core.”

The Island Upgrade Core is an indispensable material for the island upgrade. Currently, four more Island Upgrade Cores are required for the island upgrade.

After knowing that the island upgrade core was from a Oannes, Su Bai’s eyes lit up. He searched for other Oanneses around the island.

Although he had considered upgrading the island, the system had not given him any hints, and he had not obtained any corresponding items, so he could only put the thought aside.

There had been a few Oanneses here, but when they saw that their superior had been killed so easily, they didn’t dare to stay here any longer. They had long fled.
