“By picking up money and items, the host can become rich!
“By picking up skills, vitality, and spiritual power... The host can become powerful!
“Pick up everything!
“Everything can be picked up!”
In tandem with the cold and emotionless voice’s explanation, a stats interface appeared before Meng Lei’s eyes!

Meng Lei’s mind felt foggy. Was his cheating device finally here a month after he had transmigrated here?
“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”
“P-pick it up!”
Meng Lei subconsciously responded.
“Ding! Pickup successful. Host’s Physical Body Constitution +1!”
A warm current appeared out of nowhere in his body and surged into his limbs and bones. Meng Lei’s body felt pleasantly warm, and it felt very comfortable. It seemed like his strength had increased a little, too?
Damn, is this really a cheating device?
Meng Lei found this incredible!
Physical Body Constitution +1?
It can also pick up physical body constitution?
“Meng Lei! What exactly are you doing?! Why aren’t you going down?!”
Uncle Leo shouted at him in great anger, so much so that his eyes could even spit flames.
However, the amazing thing was that yet another ball of silver light dropped from him.
“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
Meng Lei didn’t hesitate at all this time!
“Ding! Pickup successful. Host’s Spirit +1!”
An icy cooling aura flowed into his mind. Meng Lei felt like his mind had become a little clearer. His thoughts and consciousness also became active and dynamic.
It’s true! I can really pick it up!!
Meng Lei pinched himself hard. This wasn’t a dream nor a hallucination—the cheating device was real! Was he going to make it big now?
Should I go to the village entrance and try my luck there? Maybe there’ll be more dropped items there?
I’d better not. There’s a beast tide breaking out over there. It’s too dangerous!
Or how about... I just look from afar?
There shouldn’t be any problem if I’m a little more cowardly!
...
Magical Beast Village was situated in a canyon. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, while the last remaining side was also encircled by thick, heavy, and sturdy wooden fences. They formed a thick and heavy wooden enclosing wall to defend against beast tide attacks.
This place was the village entrance for people to enter and leave the village!
Currently, a horrifying scene was taking place there. 20–30 strong and well-built men waved and brandished their weapons as they constantly attacked the wild beasts charging toward the village walls!
There were Sword-Toothed Tigers, which had a blood-red color throughout their bodies, Steel-Furred Wild Boars with teal-colored faces and long fangs, and covered in sharp spikes, as well as gigantic Two-Headed Vultures with wings on their backs.
...
Close to a hundred ferocious wild beasts let out furious roars after roars. They pounced toward and charged at the village walls fearlessly while attacking madly!
Despite some of the wild beasts getting killed, the remaining beasts continued to advance wave upon wave, as though they had been bewitched and gone berserk!
The team of guards with Captain Hudders in the lead resembled killing machines as they constantly slashed at and cut down the wild beasts charging toward the village walls!
Blood sprayed everywhere, and broken limbs flew about haphazardly!
The strong stench of blood assaulted Meng Lei’s senses, causing his guts to churn wildly, and he nearly threw up his meal from the previous night.
When had a keyboard warrior that wandered the world of the Internet like him ever seen such a bloody and grisly scene like this?
It was only after quite a long while that Meng Lei finally got a little used to it. His line of sight couldn’t help but fall onto the huge sword in Captain Hudders’ hands!
So that’s... Battle Aura?
A layer of glowing pale yellow suffused the area around the sword in Captain Hudders’ hands. As though a divine weapon so sharp that it could cut through iron like it were mud, it easily rendered the wild beast into two!
His speed at hunting and killing the wild beasts was much faster than the others. He was practically a killing machine!
“As expected of the number one expert in the village!” Envy filled Meng Lei’s eyes as he muttered, “If only I’m as strong as he is...”
“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
Meng Lei noticed that quite a few light balls had dropped onto the battlefield, and they were exceptionally dazzling!
Wouldn’t he power up significantly if he picked up those drops?
“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
“Ding! Pickup successful. Host’s Physical Body Constitution +3!”
“Ding! Pickup successful. Host’s Spirit +1!”
“Ding! Pickup successful. Host’s Physical Body Constitution +2!”
Warm currents manifested and flowed through his body one after another, strengthening Meng Lei’s physical body constitution and spirit at high speed.
An extremely relaxing and comfortable sensation accompanied his continuous powering up. It couldn’t feel better than this!
His power was constantly increasing!
His thoughts were increasingly clear!
Yes! That’s the way! Become stronger! I want to become stronger!
“What are you doing here?!”
Right at that moment, a furious bellow suddenly rang out beside his ear like a clap of thunder. “Is this somewhere that you should be?! Go back at once!”
Meng Lei lifted his head. Right away, he saw Captain Hudders glaring at him furiously. An invisible wave of pressure surged toward him as if a raging lion was watching him intently!
Meng Lei’s heart trembled. The pressure was intense!
“What is Leo doing? He actually let you run out here?”
With a brandish, Hudders cut a pig-species wild beast into two as he ordered, “Return to the shelter immediately!”
Meng Lei was just about to explain when a loud, melodious, and sonorous roar resounded!
A wolf-like beast, whose body was a fiery red all over and as big as an ox, walked out of the beast tide’s back.
Everywhere it passed through, the initially brutal and ferocious wild beasts docilely stepped aside and made way for it!
The wolf-like beast sauntered elegantly, two licks of flames flickering in its eyes. All of a sudden, it leaped into the air, opened its mouth, and shot out a fireball the size of a basketball!
The fireball was alarmingly hot. Meng Lei could feel a burning heat on his face despite being a far distance away!
A wolf?
A wolf that can spray fire?
Is this what a Magical Beast is?
