…
A series of collection tasks, all commissioned by store owners within the territory.
Mu Ying was not very interested in these tasks.
She could accomplish Grandpa Shom’s task with her own identification abilities unless it involved rare plants.
There was no need to compete with others for this opportunity.
As for collecting ingredients and wood, it was even less appealing.
It was ti-consuming, labor-intensive, and not very profitable.
Planting a few more trees would be more worthwhile.
Unlike Mu Ying, other people were quite interested in these tasks.
They each represented a team.
Collecting items was more convenient and less effort for them, and such a stable source of inco was exactly what they lacked now.
Several people took on the tasks and went out to discuss and report back with their teammates.
………
At night in the Square World, after emptying a mountain, Mu Ying moved her mining efforts underground.
She continued digging layer by layer, aiming not to miss a single ore.
After digging more than ten layers down, she gradually encountered iron ore.
Mu Ying switched from a bird shotgun to a cannon, all her tools were made of iron, and she even equipped herself with a suit of chain armor.
Today, while digging, she suddenly heard a strange noise.
Stopping her action, she listened closely for a while.
It sounded like the roar of so wild beast.
Why did it sound so familiar?
Mu Ying thought for a while and exclaid, “It’s a rotten corpse!”
Her first day in the Square World, that’s how the rotten corpses sounded at night.
“Are there rotten corpses around here?”
She checked the ti, it was dayti for sure, where would the rotten corpses co from?
And underground?
Mu Ying didn’t dare continue mining carelessly.
Instead, she followed the sound to a stone, carefully digging up the stone on the ground.
The space under the stone was hollow.
A dark passage appeared, and Mu Ying quickly placed a torch at the entrance.
Only then could she see clearly, a stone brick room overgrown with moss inside the passage.
The growling sound was coming from there; the familiar stench of rot filled the space.
The room’s occupants were all drawn by Mu Ying to the doorway of the stone brick room.
The entrance was quite high above the ground, so the rotten corpses couldn’t hurt her, and for so reason, they seed afraid to leave the stone house.
“Hey, this is a great opportunity to kill rotten corpses,” Mu Ying muttered as she pulled out a pebble from her pocket and threw it at the zombies.
She had already leveled up to level 4.
Killing rotten corpses was much easier than before, and she could take down a zombie with just three pebbles.
But soon, she started to beco numb to it.
A considerable amount of ti had passed, yet the number of rotten corpses didn’t seem to decrease; it was as if for every one that died, countless more would rush out.
“How can such a small room hold so many rotten corpses?”
She puzzled over this and stopped her actions, digging from here towards the top of the stone house to see what was inside.
After removing the moss-covered bricks from the top of the stone house, with the light of the torch, Mu Ying finally saw the whole room clearly.
The room was densely packed with rotten corpses, but what caught her attention the most was the blood-red crystal suspended in the center of the room.
It had many struggling shadows around it, which looked quite sinister.
She flicked a pebble at the crystal, and seeing the long health bar, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“If it had a health bar, that would be great!”
Although this health bar was unusually long, her lengthy mining life had long forged her great patience.
“Crack~”
[You shattered the Dungeon Core, freeing a small number of trapped souls, gaining 10 Source Power]
“!”
Dungeon Core?
Source Power?
Mu Ying cracked a smile, “Nice stuff!”
She eyed the fragnts lying at the feet of the rotten corpses, feeling that these restless rotten corpses were extrely obstructive and hindering her from collecting treasures.
This ti, the rotten corpses did not continue to erge endlessly.
Even after the Dungeon Core was shattered, the rotten corpses slowly dissolved, a bit slower than at sunrise but eventually disappeared completely.
Mu Ying carefully blocked the entrance of the stone house first, then jumped down to collect treasures.
After the disappearance of the rotten corpses, a Box was revealed in the corner of the stone house.
She first picked up the fragnts of the Dungeon Core.
[Shattered Dungeon Core]
[Function: Damaged, unable to perform Source Power or physical transformations]
“Seems like I can only give it to the Village Chief,” Mu Ying regretfully stowed the Dungeon Core and ran to the Box in the corner.
This Box looked different from the wooden box she made herself; the golden borders made it look quite valuable.
Mu Ying lifted the lid of the Box.
“Enchantnt Book (Infinite) ×1, Enchantnt Book (Durability) ×1, Gold Ingots ×21, Diamonds ×5”
The Box was filled with treasures.
[Enchantnt Book (Infinite)]
[Function: Enchant bow and arrow to have Infinite Arrows]
[Physical Transformation: 100 Source Power per book]
[Physical Description: Used on bow and arrow, adds an Infinite Arrows effect to the equipnt]
[Source Power Transformation: Untranslatable]
[Enchantnt Book (Durability)]
[Function: Enchant weapons or tools to make their durability permanent]
[Physical Transformation: 100 Source Power per book]
[Physical Description: Used on equipnt, adds an Automatic Repair effect to the equipnt]
Both Enchantnt Books made Mu Ying very envious; she wanted to transform every one of them.
However, as good and as expensive as Enchantnt Books are, like the backpack, once transford, the original item is gone.
She was not ready to use them yet, so she carefully kept them in her backpack.
The remaining Gold Ingots and Diamonds would just transform into ordinary gold and diamonds, which wasn’t very significant.
Instead, transforming Source Power was more worthwhile; Gold Ingots, as a product of slting a Gold Mine, could not be transford, but amazingly, just 10 diamonds could be transford into 1 point of Source Power.
“I’ve struck it rich!”
She knocked the Box loose too and packed it up, then hurried to the surface.
It was now almost the end of the Trial Ti for today; fortunately, these days she had been conserving effort by trialing around midnight.
This way, she could use 2 hours of Trial Ti in one go, trialing every other day, spending four daylight periods in the Square World on each occasion.
With her belongings, she headed toward the village.
As it was almost dark midway, she set down a Single Bed on the spot and lay down on it.
A night passed.
When she opened her eyes again, the sunset had turned into sunrise.
Mu Ying suddenly turned her head to look to the side.
A purple-black figure slowly disappeared under the sunlight.
When had this person arrived?
How had they disappeared so suddenly?
He was clearly not a rotten corpse; a rotten corpse would still show flas when they disappeared, being scorched to death by the sunlight, but this person seed to have vanished on their own.
Their head shape was also different from others, probably wearing a purple-black hat.
There was an identity marker above their head, proving he was indeed a local resident of the Square World, but the mark was garbled and unclear.
Mu Ying pressed her doubts to her heart and continued running toward the village.
