Wei Jun curiously looked at the fist-sized sphere that lissa was holding like it was a precious child that could get damaged from the slightest of damage.
"It's the monster core. Almost all the monsters have it but the one that belongs to the gate boss is the most valuable." Natasha explained since lissa was too busy polishing and cleaning the Direhound core in her hands.
"Is that why you asked what I did with the corpses?" Wei Jun asked.
"Yes. There was a good chance so of the monsters had it." Natasha replied.
Wei Jun nodded in reply but he rembered receiving nothing but Death Qi from killing the No-eyed Barghests unlike how he received the reward from the system by killing the Direhound.
"Is it such a precious thing?" Wei Ju couldn't help but ask seeing the reaction of lissa.
"Well, it is very precious. Even more precious than the body itself because it has the power concentration of the monster. In other words, having it ans having the power of the said monster itself." Natasha explained.
Wei Jun didn't quite understand so he asked the system the sa question.
[All in all, if you absorb it instead of making weapons or elixirs with it, your Qi would increase by quite a bit]
[But that would be a tedious process]
[Just processing it for absorption would be a waste]
[It is better to make sothing out of it]
Wei Jun nodded at the simple explanation of the system and looked at the core of the Direhound, rembering he had sothing similar to it in the inventory as well.
"Hey, lissa," Natasha called lissa who was lost in the core and even naming it lovingly.
"What?" lissa asked with a slightly offended expression as if Natasha had interrupted her precious ti with her child.
"Don't you think the core should go to the one who killed the monster? It's obvious he did a lot more work than us. Even if there were tens of us, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the monster." Natasha said with an offended expression and tone of her own.
Wei Jun was surprised because he didn't take Natasha as the just type but she was standing up for him to her own friend. That spoke volus of her nature and Wei Jun couldn't help but admire it slightly.
lissa was also aware of her friend's nature and also knew that she was right. Without Wei Jun, killing the monster would have been impossible, not difficult, but outright impossible for both of them.
So it was only right that Wei Jun was to get the reward and spoils of the battle as well. Because not only had he made that fight possible, but he had also saved their lives.
lissa sighed and was about to throw the core to Wei Jun when Wei Jun said, "Keep it."
"…What?" lissa was taken aback and even Natasha was very much surprised. Either Wei Jun didn't know the true value of the core, or he was just that much benevolent and none of them believed it was the latter.
And they were right, Wei Jun wasn't benevolent at all.
But…
[It's useless to you]
[You already have a processed one thanks to the reward from the administrator]
[Processing that and using it would be a waste of ti]
[And creating sothing out of it would also yield no significant results]
[There are better weapons and elixirs available in the shop than what you would get after crafting sothing with that]
According to the system, the ti spent on the core wouldn't be worth it. Wei Jun could earn more money in that ti and purchase a better anything he required from the shop which would be of a much better quality than anything he made from the Direhound's core.
"Are…Are you sure?" lissa asked just to be sure and Wei Jun simply nodded.
"What about the corpse? Will you take it?" Natasha asked next.
'Is it good?' Wei Jun asked.
[Not really]
[Its at is good after purifying but you have a lot of it in the form of No-eyed Barghests anyway]
[You can take it if you want]
[But it would be of better use to them than you]
Wei Jun nodded and turned to Natasha and said, "You can have it."
He didn't know why, but he was tempted to give his share of the reward to Natasha as well. So that was why when she asked about the corpse, Wei Jun would have given it to her without even asking the system but he bit down the urge to do so.
Natasha was happy with the reward and she, just like lissa, also hopped to the corpse of the monster and began to check its condition.
Wei Jun couldn't help but nod his head and then made his way to the end of the lake and said, "Co on, let's go."
lissa and Natasha both snapped out of their happy-go-lucky mood and began to walk as well but Natasha didn't. She began to lift the Direhound's corpse but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't just lift it up.
Wei Jun shook his head and carried the monster on his shoulder.
"Thanks," Natasha said with a beautiful smile and Wei Jun simply nodded in return before lissa began to guide their way out.
They traveled through the forest for about three hours before Wei Jun arrived at a blue eclipse-shaped structure that was giving off a strange feeling.
The structure was made of blue cloud-type gas or sothing and blue tendrils of lightning were flowing at its ends.
"Co on, let's go," lissa said. Wei Jun nodded and followed them. Wei Jun went through the blue gate, a warm feeling enveloping him before it vanished in an instant and he was out in the open, the sun shining in the sky.
He saw lissa and Natasha hurriedly going to tell the situation to a man standing near the blue portal who looked at Wei Jun strangely.
"He's…" Before lissa or Natasha could explain, Wei Jun began to breathe heavily. It wasn't just that, his body began to perspire heavily and then it got to the point that he began to grunt and scream in pain.
It wasn't long before he fell to the ground and passed out. lissa and Natasha hurriedly ca close to him to check on his condition.
Natasha began to cast the heal spell on him while lissa checked his pulse. Everything was normal but Wei Jun was still breathing heavily even while he was passed out but then, everything just stopped.
And then after a few seconds, Wei Jun opened his eyes and confusedly looked at both of them before he said, "I'm having another dream of beauties."
He sighed before he extended his chest and grabbed lissa's chest before he said, "These dreams are becoming more and more real, I tell you."
Boing…
He pressed his hand on lissa's chest which invoked great anger from lissa and before anyone could do anything…
[Fireball]
And then everything went blank for Wei Jun.
~
As Wei Jun ca out of the gate, the first thing he saw was a clear landscape, as if sowhere in greenery, in the middle of calming woods. He turned around and looked at his surroundings.
He noticed a man standing outside the gate in an identical robe to Natasha and lissa. If he was standing outside the gate then it ant that whatever this was, was a controlled phenonon and lissa's group wanted in there by mistake like he was.
He could see Natasha and lissa talking to the very sa man and then his topic ca up.
It was only right that he should introduce himself so he took a step to tell the man about his identity before any sort of misunderstanding stemd up and beca a headache he couldn't get rid of later.
However, before he could even take one step…
[System update will now continue]
[Main Quest II has been completed]
[Shao Chen has been killed]
[Calculated efficiency of the quest is 98%]
[You haven't left any scenario out]
[System update will now begin]
[Good luck to the user]
It was indeed a stroke of good luck because soon Wei Jun noticed that the world had beco still once again.
Natasha, lissa, and the man they were talking to were frozen as well. And most of all, the sky.
The sky split apart as if soone had torn it from the middle and extended that tear with fingers like in a fabric.
And that wasn't all.
Soon enough, smoke of all sorts of colors began to emit from the crack in the sky and the one that ca straight away to him was the darkest of the darkest smoke among all different colored smoke.
As soon as it did, Wei Jun was once again assaulted by the familiar pain like last ti. He gritted his teeth to try and endure it while also staying awake but no matter how much he bit down on his tongue, in the end, he fell into the realm of unconsciousness after not being able to bear the pain.
