Chapter 46: Meet the Treasure Chest Monster, Found Bread Tree Seeds!

[Dig to the left. There are two iron treasure chests, one real and one fake. Pay attention to the advanced disguise of the Treasure Chest Monster. Don’t be bitten by it.]

[In the cave ahead, a group of wasps wraps themselves up. Smoke them with fire, and you get a nice earthy honey.]

[In the catacombs behind… No, it should be called the Snake Cave. It’s too disgusting!]

[Excavate upwards. There are bronze treasure chests and wooden treasure chests. I suggest a good search. There’s a nest of sand hamsters under the sand. After swallowing some food, it’ll be enough for you to eat for three days.]

[Excavate downwards. It’s empty.]

On the way back to the base, Klein checked the hints in five directions.

Tomorrow, he would dig to the left!

“Treasure Chest Monster? What is this?”

Klein opened the illustrated book.

He searched for it.

He didn’t find any information on the Treasure Chest Monster.

The illustrated book was incomplete to begin with, and only a portion of it was recorded. The Treasure Chest Monster wasn’t on it.

It was probably not that powerful. It could disguise itself as a treasure chest and wait for an adventurer to take the bait.

Klein could probably imagine the appearance of the Treasure Chest Monster. Perhaps it had a large mouth that could bite off an arm.

Back at the base.

Klein first went to the balcony to check on the Fragrant Rice saplings and the Sweet Fruit saplings.

In just three hours, the Fragrant Rice saplings were already half a meter tall. The Sweet Fruit saplings were about a foot tall, but their branches and leaves were lush, like a cluster of shrubs.

“This growth rate is really fast!” Klein exclaimed in admiration.

He then watered them.

Then, Klein returned to his bedroom.

He took off his clothes and pants.

He took out the blood of the Iron Violent Bear and smeared it all over his body.

Smearing the blood of the Iron Violent Bear on his body could increase his resistance to blows.

The blood wasn’t immediately absorbed.

Klein was drenched in blood and reeked of it.

He smeared every part of his body, not sparing a single corner.

It was a little itchy at first, but gradually, the blood slowly disappeared as if it had been absorbed by his skin.

After about five minutes, the blood disappeared.

There was no more blood on his body.

He smelled it close to his skin. Other than the stench of sweat, there was no smell of blood.

Klein poked his skin with his fingers.

Overall, it had indeed strengthened.

He used the dagger to scratch it a little, leaving only a white mark. There was no way to break the skin.

Klein kept increasing his strength, and at a certain moment, he finally managed to cut a bloody mark.

The overall effect was pretty good.

There were a lot of private messages today.

Klein lay on the balcony. He took in a cool breeze and opened the private messages.

They were all related to the ancient castle!

They asked, “Boss, people say that the ancient castle is a runic base. Is that true?”

“Boss Klein, can you tell me how to turn the runic base into an ancient castle?”

“Brother, please feed me. I can play with you and guarantee your takeoff!”

“Selling one unopened bronze treasure chest. Click on the link if you want! (Note: I’ll send it on my behalf to make a living. Please forgive me if I disturb you!)”

There were all sorts of private messages.

Most of them were related to the runic base.

“Has the catacombs world developed a small advertising business?”

Klein opened the private messages of his acquaintances. There were also a few reminders there.

If the two of them returned private messages to each other, they would be added to the list of acquaintances. Both parties could also delete them on their own.

Among the few private messages, there were some that wanted to trade with Klein, and there were also some that came to inquire about it.

Klein glanced at the items that he wanted to trade, but he wasn’t interested. He simply replied.

Among them, Klein had sent a message.

“I just learned a blueprint, and I want to make a deal with you.

“You must need a Perfect Runic Crossbow too.”

“You give me the materials, and I’ll help you forge the real thing. You can also pay me the commission fee, okay?”

Alice didn’t have enough materials, so she wanted to use this to earn the difference in price.

Today, she had sent private messages to many players, but only one of them had gathered the materials and gave her a wind rune as a processing fee.

Klein smiled and said, “Unfortunately, I already have the blueprint for the Perfect Runic Crossbow. I also have a runic crossbow, so I don’t need it.”

Klein replied.

“It seems like you were making a runic crossbow when you purchased the wind rune! That was so early. As far as I know, there aren’t many players who have long-range weapons now.”

Alice replied two times in a row, “Then, do you have wind runes? I still lack one! I can use something else to trade with you.

“What item?”

He would check the goods first.

If she didn’t want to, it was fine.

“The seed of a Bread Tree! The description is as follows: A short tree that can grow sweet bread. It can be potted.”

It wasn’t a bread tree in the real world. Bread trees in the catacombs world could grow bread!

Klein already had two types of food tree saplings, so he wasn’t lacking in food.

But it was better than nothing.

He could supplement the food types.

“Alright, I’ll trade with you.”

After Klein replied, the other party hurriedly sent him a link to the trade.

Before the trade, he checked the details of the Bread Tree seed.

It was indeed as Alice said. There was no forgery.

He chose the item.

The transaction was confirmed.

[Wind Rune-1, Bread Tree Seed+1!]

Klein was left with 3 earth runes. An Excellent Runic Planting Pot required 1 earth rune.

He made the planting pot.

He filled it with soil.

He buried the Bread Tree seed and planted it.

Then, he watered it and fertilized it, waiting for it to grow.

Rice, fruit, bread.

Klein looked at the three neatly arranged planting pots and could already foresee the good days ahead.

In the next one or two days, or perhaps a little longer, perhaps three to five days, there would definitely be a bumper harvest.
