Chapter 77 - Prepare to Deal With the Treants
[System notification: 2 Long Sand Fishes have completed the transaction. Fire Rune+1. Earth Rune+1.]
Just as Klein was about to check the next catacomb notification, a system notification popped up.
“Eh? It’s such a bestseller?”
He said in surprise, “I keep having the feeling that there are so many people in that catacombs who like to raise fish?”
He opened the transaction record.
The buyer was a man.
“Not only do men like to fish, they also like to raise fish. It’s not bad to have hobbies.”
Klein quite admired the buyer.
Even in a difficult environment, he still didn’t forget to raise fish calmly.
Perhaps, this was called artistic conception and enjoying life!
At this moment.
The buyer of the Long Sand Fish had sent him a private message.
“Boss, it shouldn’t be a second-hand thing, right?”
“How can a fish be a second-hand product? I just caught it and it’s already on the shelves.”
“Hehe, then I’m relieved. I’m a germaphobe.”
Klein thought that the other party had typed something wrong and didn’t think too much about it.
He switched to the regional chat channel.
“Who needs a Perfect Runic Crossbow? It’s in stock.”
Klein reforged a batch of runic crossbows and casually sent a message in the group.
Today’s regional channel was even more active than yesterday.
More and more people experienced the blessing buff effect.
Most of them hadn’t reached the treasure chest yet, but they were collecting them. During the battle, they could clearly sense the difference.
“Can I reserve it?” Rhode asked, “I only have 6 runes on me.”
“I can give it to you first. Yesterday’s channel updated the borrowing function. Later on, we’ll trade. You owe me 2 runes, so you can pay it off in three days.”
Klein didn’t lack runes for the time being.
Moreover, the 6 runes had already been paid back, and Rhode’s strength wasn’t bad. It wasn’t easy to die, so he could borrow it.
The borrowing function was only effective in the regional channel and was mandatory.
That was to say, once the stipulated date was up, the system would deduct it.
If it wasn’t enough, it would automatically go to the market to trade and then repay the creditor.
If the market didn’t exchange the required items, the system would evaluate and praise the remaining resources to pay off the debt.
There was no need to ask for the debt, and there wouldn’t be a situation where the debtor was the boss.
“Alright, thank you, Administrator.”
The two of them completed the transaction.
Rhode gave Klein 2 wind, 2 fire, 1 water, and 1 earth rune.
He owed 2 runes.
Other than Rhode, a few more people jumped out.
Some people paid on the spot, while others also relied on borrowing.
If their combat strength wasn’t low and the gap between the runes was within 2, Klein would be willing to lend them.
This was called risk control.
If he lent money to everyone, it would easily turn into bad debts.
After a round of transactions, Klein took out four runic crossbows and earned 26 runes.
The four Perfect Runic Crossbows cost 8 wind, 8 iron, and 8 copper.
The net profit from the runes was 18. The other three owed him 6 runes and would pay them back in three days.
“Could it be that no one noticed that Big Brother Klein’s combat strength has decreased? It was still 578 last night, and today it’s 505~”
Someone noticed this.
“Maybe there’s some equipment that he’s not wearing?”
“Is his condition not good?”
Everyone was speculating.
Klein didn’t respond.
With the night buff last night, his combat strength was naturally higher.
He exited the regional channel.
Klein then went to the trade channel to set up six Perfect Runic Crossbows.
Prices: 4 wind, 2 fire, 1 earth, 1 water.
In the market, there weren’t many players who were willing to sell runes.
Since yesterday, runes had been in high demand.
But…
With the blessing buff today, it was easy to get runes out of the chests, so there was bound to be a wave of growth.
“Next catacomb!”
Klein closed the interface.
He took out a small map.
In the middle was his current location.
He could look back at the two catacombs.
“These two paths aren’t bad. Although they’re the most dangerous, I can obtain iron treasure chests and silver treasure chests.”
Klein looked at the catacombs on the left.
The best item on the map was a silver treasure chest.
“The Crypt Treant Tribe?”
Klein noticed another note in the catacombs where the silver treasure chest was located.
“If it’s a tribe, it means that there are many of them.”
He subconsciously opened the map and searched for information on the Crypt Treant.
..
[Crypt Treant: A tribe that yearns for peace in the catacombs world. They are in a state of deep sleep for a long period of time and possess exaggerated powers. If you disturb their sleep, it will cause them to be furious. You must use fire to calm them down. If you use water to bribe them, they are very willing to share their Radiant Fruit.]
[Ability: Condensing the Glorious Fruit.]
[Weakness: Fear of high-temperature flames.]
[Danger Factor: 42]
..
Check the ability.
[Condensing the Radiant Fruit: Absorb the rules of light day and night and condense a fruit. It takes three years to take shape.]
..
The risk factor wasn’t high.
Furthermore, it was a tribe!
‘The Firestorm Saber’s flames happen to be high-temperature flames. Coupled with my own fire ability, it can perfectly restrain the Treant.’
‘I’ll choose this path.’
Klein immediately chose the path.
Although he didn’t know what the Radiant Fruit was or what effects it had, it took three years to condense a fruit. It was most likely something good.
Klein looked to the left.
A new notification appeared!
