42: An unexpected upgrade! This is just too awesome!

Awesome!

Su Lie's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but laugh.

He advanced from Level 6 to Level 7.

This time, purifying the pool of clear water into Exorcism Holy Water.

Only then did he kill the lingering Spirits hidden in the pool.

Based on the experience gained this time, he could judge.

There were actually 200 lingering Spirits in the water.

Under the effect of his title, Mist Master.

He gained a total of 400 experience points from killing the monsters this time.

Combined with his original 475 experience points.

His experience value instantly surged to 875 points.

After leveling up to Level 7.

He still had 375 experience points remaining, needing 225 more points to level up again.

In this upgrade.

His Life, Spirit, Stamina, Speed, Charm, Luck, and Majesty each increased by 100 attribute points.

He gained 500 Free Attribute Points.

This was already beyond Su Lie's expectations.

"Next time, I must be more careful! I don't know what possessed these lingering Spirits, they actually all wanted to become my concubines! If they had wanted to eat me, I would probably be dead right now!"

Su Lie belatedly warned himself.

If he encountered a similar situation again.

He needed to resolve the crisis first.

He definitely could not act rashly.

"It seems I must craft the glass bottle as soon as possible, whether for selling or for my own use! It will be extremely useful!"

Su Lie discovered that Exorcism Holy Water was effective both for removing pollution and for dealing with Mist Monsters.

He must carry this useful item with him at all times.

Soon.

After the blue mark on Su Lie disappeared.

He then got up and walked toward the stone pillar.

When he arrived in front of the stone pillar.

He discovered that the stone pillar had completely decayed under the effect of the Exorcism Holy Water.

Crash!

He only lightly touched the stone pillar, and it immediately shattered into over a dozen pieces of black, foul-smelling rock.

The last array pattern on the rock also vanished as a result.

Buzz!

Su Lie felt a vibration coming from under his feet.

The vibration came and went quickly.

At the base of the stone pillar, Su Lie found a palm-sized stone sphere engraved with a golden mark.

He held the stone sphere in his hand: "Is this the stone sphere mentioned in the mission?"

Just then.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the Opportunity Mission!]

[Reward: 1 ordinary quality elemental stone Ore Vein! 1000 Free Attribute Points! 500 Mist Points!]

The next second, a flash of light appeared in Su Lie's left hand.

A transparent, egg-sized crystal ball materialized in his hand.

Inside the crystal ball, a white, dragon-shaped mist constantly danced, appearing quite mystical.

He looked at his panel again.

He saw that his Mist Points had changed from 3396 to 3896 points.

His Free Attribute Points changed from 610 to 1610 points.

Seeing this.

Su Lie's gaze fell upon the three attributes brought by the Human Emperor Bloodline: "Previously, when the four attributes of Life, Spirit, Stamina, and Speed averaged 1000 points, a Talent was activated! If these three attributes all reach 1000 points, will they also grant a Talent?"

He now had two choices.

One was to improve Charm, Luck, and Majesty.

But he was unsure if these three attributes could also activate a Talent.

The second was to improve Stamina and Speed, raising these two attributes to 2000 points. He would definitely gain a new Talent.

How should he choose?

Su Lie couldn't make up his mind immediately: "I'll consider this matter when I get back!"

Afterward.

He instructed the Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad: "The Exorcism Holy Water in this cave cannot be wasted, and there are still 200 level 0 monster crystal inside, swallow them all!"

"Croak!"

The Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad leaped down from Su Lie's shoulder: "Haha! I can't wait, Master!"

It transformed into a 6-meter-tall giant toad, opening its mouth and sucking up the Exorcism Holy Water below it.

Whoosh!

The water flow turned into a waterspout rushing toward the Golden Toad's mouth.

Even the 200 level 0 monster crystal at the bottom of the water were absorbed by it.

After finishing.

The Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad looked at the stone blocks revealed at the bottom of the water and asked Su Lie: "Master! Do you want these jade blocks?"

"Hmm?"

Su Lie was stunned and looked down.

Using the light of the Night light, he discovered.

The bottom of the water was covered with a layer of neatly arranged jade blocks.

There were at least 10,000 of these jade blocks.

The blocks were not transparent, resembling large salt crystals, and were a type of crystalline material.

Although Su Lie couldn't see its panel information, he noticed it was a type of material and immediately nodded: "Yes!"

Rattle!

After the Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad swept away the jade floor.

Only then was the muddy, sandy ground revealed.

Su Lie stepped through the mud and walked to the end of the cave.

There was nothing here.

After searching around.

Su Lie returned to the cave entrance, and after cleaning the mud from his feet.

He then led the Little Skeletons back the way they came to the mine pit.

On the pit wall, No. 2 Little Skeleton was already leading the other Little Skeletons in diligently mining Stone.

They had initially been working separately.

By the time Su Lie arrived, they had learned to work collaboratively.

No. 2, No. 7, and No. 8 Little Skeletons were responsible for cutting, holding machetes.

The other Little Skeletons were responsible for hauling the material and stacking it into piles nearby.

During Su Lie's time in the mine, they had already cut out over five thousand units of Stone.

Just then.

Two notifications popped into Su Lie's view.

[Congratulations on successfully collecting 100 units of Stone, reward: Free Attribute Point + 1!]

[Congratulations on successfully collecting 1000 units of Stone, reward: Free Attribute Points + 10!]

...This caused his Free Attribute Points to change from 1610 to 1621 points!

"It seems this kind of reward is only given to me when I am near the resource!"

Su Lie made a judgment based on this reward.

Subsequently.

Su Lie also led the other Little Skeletons to join the mining effort.

He also assigned tasks to the Little Skeletons.

Soon.

The crowded path became orderly.

No. 2, No. 7, No. 8, and Su Lie each led 12 Little Skeletons to mine in different nearby areas.

The speed was doubled compared to before.

Time passed little by little.

After about another hour passed.

Su Lie received another reward.

[Congratulations on successfully collecting 10,000 units of Stone, reward: 100 Free Attribute Points! 100 Mist Points!]

"Hmm? It seems I am not the first person among the Survivors to collect 10,000 units of Stone!"

Su Lie gained a piece of information from this reward.

He immediately led the Little Skeletons to continue mining.

Before long.

No. 2 Little Skeleton found Su Lie, and it pointed to the area it was responsible for and chattered a string of words.

The Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad impatiently explained: "Master! No. 2 Little Skeleton said! The material inside the area it's mining is not stone, but a type of jade!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie quickly walked over to check.

He found that this jade didn't look like typical jade, but it was the same material as the jade blocks paving the floor of the cave.

"Mine this stuff too!"

Su Lie said to No. 2.

Time passed little by little.

As the sky gradually darkened and the mist began to rise.

Two more notifications sequentially popped into Su Lie's view.

[Congratulations on successfully mining 10,000 units of Stone, reward: 100 Free Attribute Points! 100 Mist Points!]

[Congratulations on successfully mining 1000 units of elemental stone, reward: 10 Free Attribute Points!]

...Seeing this.

Su Lie then said to the Little Skeletons: "Time to pack up!"

He had already known that this rock was the elemental stone he had been longing for, based on the reward received when No. 2 mined 100 units of elemental stone.

However.

The veins of elemental stone were quite complex to mine.

This resulted in slow mining speed.

Nevertheless.

Su Lie was already extremely satisfied with this.

When the Little Skeletons gathered together.

The Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad swallowed both the Stone and the elemental stone into its belly.

Su Lie led the Little Skeletons to climb onto the Golden Toad's back, and after he was seated securely.

The Little Skeletons had already clasped their hands together.

Whoosh!

The Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad leaped into the air.

Its four claws slipped in the air.

A fierce gust of wind whistled up.

The Little Skeletons were sent flying one after another.

They looked like a bright white kite string, which scared the Little Skeletons into wailing...
