Infinite Evolution of My Territory

C24 - The Resource Monster

Shortly thereafter, a notification for a new message from a friend appeared.

Currently, his only friend was Tung Quanpan. He opened the message to read it.

"Friend, do you have any food left? I urgently need a large supply. I'm willing to pay 2000 spirit coins for each wild monster!"

Qiang Nantie was puzzled. Hadn't he just provided her with plenty of wild monsters the day before? How could she be out of them by this morning?

He quickly typed, "How did you go through them so quickly?"

Tung Quanpan's reply came in a flash, "I didn't anticipate their appetites would grow so much after leveling up."

Qiang Nantie responded, "Okay, I'll get some food for you. How much do you need?"

"The more, the better," Tung Quanpan answered. "You might have to help me with food for the whole month. It seems I can't grow any crops here, perhaps due to this place."

Tung Quanpan was at a loss for words. She had obtained a Spirit Spring yesterday, hoping it would speed up the crop growth. But even after watering with the Spirit Spring, there was no sign of growth.

When she dug up the seeds, she found they had turned black.

That's when she realized this cursed place was an exceedingly rare land of death. The soil here was deadly for the growth of ordinary seeds.

"Your luck is incredibly poor," Qiang Nantie said, feeling downcast. Where had she been randomly teleported to?

"Let's not talk about it. I've had the worst luck."

Yet, this place wasn't entirely disadvantageous. The item drop rate had doubled here—killing one monster yielded the loot of two.

Naturally, she kept this detail to herself.

"Looks like ordinary small animals won't cut it anymore," Qiang Nantie remarked.

"Just be cautious. It's dangerous beyond the mist."

Tung Quanpan was eager for more food but didn't want Qiang Nantie risking his safety.

"Rest assured, I'm young and not looking to die anytime soon," Qiang Nantie assured her.

"Wishing you luck."

With that, their conversation came to a close.

Qiang Nantie had taken care of everything in his territory and was already planning to go monster hunting.

Although the spirit coins Qiang Nantie earned from hunting monsters paled in comparison to those from selling Spirit Spring Water, he could still pursue both ventures simultaneously.

"Huamo, let's get moving!"

This time, Qiang Nantie was fully armed, donning an array of gear, ready to take on the wilderness's monsters with gusto.

He intended to open the chest that evening and check out the new offerings in the mysterious store.

Yesterday, they had embarked from the territory's main gate on the east side.

Today, they departed from the territory's western gate, curious to discover any new rewards that might await them.

They quickly found themselves enveloped in mist, which gradually dissipated as they pressed on.

Monsters lurking within the mist launched their assault.

But the duo was ready, swiftly dispatching the creatures.

He had slain a Level 3 black monkey, earning an additional 4 Soul Coins for his efforts.

The creature was a primate-type monster.
