"Mystic Iron Alloy? That's quite a treasure."
Qin Feng smiled.
The Thunderstrike Twin Blades were indeed made of Mystic Iron Alloy.
He didn't know its other uses yet, but any newly discovered material was likely to be relatively rare.
Sister Bao'er beamed, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower. "I'll bring it all back for you. You can decide what to do with it."
"Great!" Qin Feng replied.
Sister Bao'er opened the white treasure chest in her hands.
"There's another chest!"
"Let's see what's inside."
**Battlefield Notification:** Congratulations to Dragon Kingdom Guardian Sister Bao'er on obtaining the E-Rank item Tang Dao.
**Battlefield Notification:** Congratulations to Eagle Country Guardian George on discovering a D-Rank Taotie monster nest.
The Eagle Country notification appeared simultaneously.
Qin Feng was slightly surprised.
"D-Rank? Taotie?"
This was the first time he'd seen a Guardian encounter a D-Rank monster.
He wondered if this 'Taotie' was the same one from Earth's legends.
If it was the legendary Taotie from Earth's myths, that would be quite troublesome.
Sister Bao'er didn't care about anything else; she only cared about what was right in front of her.
"Hey! It's a Tang Dao!"
She picked up the long blade, turning it over and over with delight.
Since last night, many other Guardians had obtained similar items.
The National War notifications had been spamming her screen nonstop, driving her crazy.
She never expected to get one herself!
"This would be the perfect gift for my little brother!"
Qin Feng had given her a pair of dual blades, and Sister Bao'er had been wondering what to give him in return.
Now, here it was!
**Name**: Tang Dao
**Type**: Mystic Iron Alloy Cold Weapon
**Rank**: E-Rank
**Upgrade Method**: Slay 100 Yin Spirits
**Maximum Rank**: C-Rank
**Description**: Crafted from Mystic Iron Alloy, the Tang Dao is exceptionally sharp and durable, and deals increased damage to Yin entities.
Reading the description, Sister Bao'er was even more pleased.
"Hahaha! Who says my wife is useless?! Come out here and say it!"
"Sister Bao'er is still pretty amazing, you know."
"The silly girl is lucky."
"Hmph, I suppose I don't want her to die, considering she's helping her husband search for supplies."
Qin Feng's wives showed remarkable magnanimity.
Even Li Tai of the National Warfare Department was laughing heartily at the live stream.
"Haha, this girl might be stubborn as a mule, but her luck is extraordinary!"
He rubbed his hands together in delight and said to his subordinate, "See? Being pretty is useful after all. It can even become a combat advantage!"
Even Li Tai believed Sister Bao'er's victory over Park Jeonghwan was due to his overconfidence and lust, and he attributed it primarily to her good luck.
Just then, the phone rang—it was Kimchi Country.
"We demand you stop the indiscriminate slaughter of innocents!" the Kimchi Country official shouted as soon as the call was answered.
"Hmph! Your Guardians broke the rules first by stealing our resources!" Li Tai retorted, his experience in arguing and his righteous position making him less accommodating.
After a thorough dressing-down, Kimchi Country was left utterly defeated and without a word to say.
"Don't forget, we're allies with Eagle Country!"
Unable to win the argument against Li Tai, he finally invoked his powerful patron.
Li Tai burst into laughter.
"If you want war, bring it on! Even if your allies come, I won't flinch!"
*Clang!*
Li Tai rarely bothered with this old fool—just a dog, really. Every extra word wasted his time.
"W-war..."
Kimchi Country's leadership stared at the phone, muttering to themselves.
Fear began to grip them. *To start a war with the Dragon Kingdom over a lust-driven brat?*
*Wouldn't that be suicide?!*
They had relied on the power of their allies, acting like a fox borrowing a tiger's might, but their bluff had been called. Now they were stuck with the consequences.
"Ah... forget it..."
The old man hung up, waving his hand weakly.
"Go, gather the press. The president will give a speech."
He needed to rally the nation to vote for Park Jeonghwan's revival.
This kid was a bit reckless, but he was the only one out of nearly a thousand Guardians with a Golden Talent.
If they hastily replaced him, they might end up with a new Guardian with a Grey Talent, which would be a disaster.
Ten minutes later, Park Jeonghwan respawned at the border of Kimchi Country.
He roared at the sky, utterly unwilling to accept his fate.
"Dragon Kingdom! Dragon Kingdom!!"
"I'll slaughter you all!!"
This time, the attempt to steal a chicken backfired, costing him his life and failing to snatch the opponent's treasure chest.
Moreover, he had to surrender the resources he had painstakingly gathered.
Meanwhile, whether by good or bad luck,
Qin Feng flew in a wide circle without encountering a single monster.
Let alone treasure chests or resources.
"What the hell? I've flown out of the dense fog, and there's nothing here?"
"Is the south this barren?"
Yesterday, he had found plenty of good stuff in the north, and Sister Bao'er had even found a chest in the east today.
Yet south of the war fog, there was nothing.
Just then, Jarvis alerted him:
"Sir, I'm detecting faint sounds approximately 300 meters away behind that hill, possibly indicating a fight."
The mech's sensors had limited range, so Jarvis did his best to extend the detection distance using audio analysis. However, this method was prone to errors, and Qin Feng had been led on wild goose chases more than once.
"Let's go check it out," Qin Feng said.
Whether it was real or not, it was only a few hundred meters away.
Qin Feng flew forward a short distance and crested the hill.
Indeed, figures appeared in the distance!
"Who are they? That monster..."
Qin Feng focused his gaze and commanded, "Jarvis, zoom in!"
"Understood, sir."
Jarvis adjusted the HUD, magnifying the combat between the figures and the monster.
The two figures came into clear view—they were white-skinned!
And the one they were fighting was a Taotie!
This was the Taotie Qin Feng knew well, not the ancient mythical beast from his previous life.
"It's actually the Taotie from the movie *The Great Wall*. This just got interesting."
The first D-Rank monster Qin Feng had ever encountered turned out to be this kind of beast.
While the two men were distracted, he slowly descended and concealed himself.
"Jarvis, record their combat data!" Qin Feng ordered.
"Yes, sir."
On the National War battlefield, Qin Feng knew it was only a matter of time before he clashed with Eagle Country. Gathering their combat data in advance would at least double his effectiveness in future encounters.
As Jarvis recorded the data, Qin Feng counted the bodies.
Including those lying on the ground, there were a total of ten Taotie!
"D-Rank monsters are indeed far stronger," he muttered.
Eagle Country's George and David were both Red Talent users, with personal attributes +40—eight times that of ordinary people. Yet even they struggled against the Taotie.
"These guys actually brought a Gatling Gun," Qin Feng grumbled.
Not far away, among the four Taotie corpses, lay a Gatling Gun. The weapon was now out of ammunition, discarded on the ground and emitting faint wisps of blue smoke.
The two Eagle Country Guardians, Colonel George and Captain David, were armed with a Tang Dao and a foot-long military saber respectively. Relying on their superior physical prowess, they each battled three Taotie.
