Everyone teleported away, but Marie stayed behind. She watched as Ming finished cleaning himself and put on proper clothes.
He looked refreshed, handsome, and had a nice smile. Then, she saw him squatting by the river, cleaning the bloodstained chainsaw blade. She approached him and said, "I'm sorry for not being able to help you as I promised earlier..."
"It's fine. The migration is the most important thing right now. I don't mind, and we're all straightforward people. You can owe me a favor for now, and I might ask for your help in the future."
"..."
Marie hesitated for a moment, realizing that she had inadvertently said too much. However, having a connection with the real power behind Zone 109 could also be a good thing.
"Do you want me to help you clean that?"
"No need, I can handle this small task by myself."
"Um, I was just thinking that your left hand might not be very convenient..."
"..."
Ming stood up with the chainsaw and looked at Marie. "Are you an elemental mage?"
"Yes, ice element."
"Ice element is great," Ming said with a smile as he patted Marie on the shoulder. "Our zone is in need of a strong ice elemental mage."
"..."
Marie felt a little uncomfortable. The shoulder patting gesture was something typically done among men. Was he trying to establish a brotherly relationship with her? Regardless, she gathered from this exchange that she would have a place in Zone 109 as an ice elemental mage.
Good news.
"Alright, there's not much left to do in this area. I'm going back now~"
"Alright, let's go together."
"Okay, I'll go first."
Ming checked on the frogs to make sure they were in his pocket, then activated the teleportation scroll after dismantling the tent.
A flash of white light... Ming disappeared... Marie stood there, smiling. He really was a straightforward person.
...
Another flash of white light, and Ming landed on the top of his own mountain. The next instant, a large black-brown beast pounced on him, knocking him to the ground and rubbing its massive head against his face.
Ming felt like he was about to suffocate, and if it weren't for his endurance, the weight of the bear might have been too much for him.
Clothes durability -1.
Pants durability -1.
...
Ming quickly got up, realizing that bear hugs came with a price. He rubbed the bear's head and checked on the situation at home.
He noticed that the little spider's 'real estate' business was almost halfway up the mountain. A spider slightly larger than a cat walked quietly on its web in front of him... its rear end trailing silk...
"It's grown bigger again!" Ming exclaimed, surprised by the spider's rapid growth. He turned to look at the beehive and decided that he needed to come up with a solution soon to avoid the bees from being wiped out.
[Your foodie returned to the rooftop, carrying a flower in its mouth, and jumped into the pond. It carefully placed the flower in the koi's mouth... foodie thought that it was smart not to try and kiss the koi... and told the koi that it would bring flowers back whenever it went out... lots and lots of flowers...]
[Your Da Vinci and squirrel stood on the rooftop, watching foodie and the koi, then looked at you and the bear. They felt a little left out... The squirrel stretched out its paw and patted Da Vinci's head, comforting it, saying that it still had the squirrel's company... Da Vinci looked at the squirrel and knew it probably just wanted to collect honey again...]
"Let the squirrel rest for a while~" Ming led the bear to the rooftop, and after a day and night without rest, he lay down on the giant bear and began to sleep.
When he woke up, he first threw the fish blocks into the earthworm farm and sprinkled ten cans of regular worms in as well, leaving ten cans for backup. Just in case those little guys didn't turn out well and failed to evolve, he could think of other methods.
Ming took the gray rabbit from the warehouse and placed it in Big White's nest, hoping that they would quickly get in the mood and contribute to his household's meat supply. He casually threw them some small beets, hoping it would help speed things up. After all, eating sweet things can make one feel happy...
At this time, the little spider appeared next to the rabbit's nest and began to spin webs around it...
Ming picked up the spider and threw it halfway up the mountain, "If you have too much energy, weave webs all over the mountain, and stop targeting the rabbits." He thought that if the entire mountain was covered with webs, no one would dare to come up easily. He took some smelly soil from the warehouse and laid it on the empty ground at the top of the mountain.
He planted the rest of the beets and forage grass, and if all went well, Ming's self-sufficient ecological cycle would soon be on track.
While cooking, Ming took out a golden card, which had dropped when he killed the catfish:
[Exclusive skill: Suction, when activated, generates a powerful suction force, pulling items within a 5-meter fan-shaped area in front of the user that weigh no more than a proportionate amount of the user's strength attribute—Note: Under normal logic, humans can learn this skill, but it is an abnormal creature's skill, and may have side effects, use with caution!]
"Trash~" Ming put the card back in the warehouse, letting it collect dust for now, just in case it might be useful one day. But then again, would learning this skill make his mouth turn into a catfish mouth as a side effect?
He decided to keep it for now and wait until the prices stabilize before doing anything. He also had a purple and a blue card, which were a [King's Blood Token] and a [BOSS Soul Crystal] respectively.
"Add a bit of seasoning~" Ming carefully poured it into the pot and looked at the boiling water on the stove next to him.
As the water boiled, he poured it into the pot, covered it, and simmered... While waiting for the delicious meal, he took out a super treasure chest and scanned a super treasure map card.
The card disappeared, and the treasure chest unlocked with a click. As it was opened, several beams of light stood up... Ming checked the contents:
[Appraisal Scroll*3]
[Advanced Treasure Map*1]
[Beginner Treasure Map*2]
"Appraisal scrolls~"
"Nice~"
Ming touched his nose, thinking that he had already opened several treasure chests, and based on the probability of the items obtained, most appraisal scrolls seemed to come from treasure chests. It looked like the business of digging up treasure chests should be prioritized.
Ming put two of the three appraisal scrolls into the warehouse and kept one. He took out the broken bowl, hoping it wouldn't disappoint him.
Appraisal... Appraisal completed:
[Exclusive Beggar's Treasure Basin]
"Damn!" Ming was shocked when he saw the name, as a broken bowl was actually called a treasure basin!
However, for beggars, this item indeed seemed to be a treasure basin.
"Never wear out!"
If this was put on a chainsaw, it would be unbelievable! If it was put on a shotgun, it would be even more incredible. Combined with his own hand speed, he was sure he could turn a double-barreled shotgun into a Gatling gun~
"Check the attributes~"
[Exclusive Beggar's Treasure Basin]
[All Attributes +5]
[Exclusive Attribute: Pitiful Bowl, holding it will make everyone think you are a beggar... Increases the chance of triggering others' compassion by 20%]
[Exclusive Attribute: Long-term Wealth Bowl, when equipped, random items will appear in the broken bowl every day (the broken bowl comes with one slot of space)]
[Exclusive Attribute: Satisfying Meal Bowl, using it, gourmet value +1.]
"…"
Ming was overjoyed!! This was indeed a treasure basin, powerful beyond imagination! Who would have thought that a broken bowl could be so strong!
He immediately put the broken bowl in his pocket, checking his own attributes, stacking them up!
[Your foodie discovered that the Koi fish really likes flowers, planning to go downstairs to pick a radiant flower . It bounces down to the first floor, stunned...]
[Your foodie rushes back to the rooftop, knocking over Da Vinci, your egg cracked!]
[Da Vinci is in pain...]
"Frogs lay eggs?"
