Jiang Chen picked up the equipment dropped by the Mana Overwhelming.

[You have obtained the Vinewood Staff (Bronze Level)!]

"What a piece of junk!"

Without even looking at it, Jiang Chen fed it directly to the Magic Crystal Ball.

Then he quickly turned around and walked towards the bottle of spring water.

Soon, Jiang Chen picked it up.

"Alright, 10 bottles of Spring of Purity water acquired."

Jiang Chen looked at his backpack with satisfaction and walked towards the Spring of Purity.

The BOSS loot hadn't been picked up yet; it couldn't go to waste.

Soon.

Jiang Chen arrived in front of the Phantom White Fox's corpse.

A Bronze Level BOSS's corpse would take 10 minutes to disappear, and the loot was the same.

Jiang Chen quickly picked up the items on the ground.

[You have obtained the Devout Ring (Bronze Level)!]

[You have obtained the Swift Boots (Bronze Level)!]

[You have obtained the Elegant Green Robe Blueprint (Common)!]

"I forgot it didn't have a quality +1... but it wasn't a wasted trip."

Jiang Chen fed the two pieces of equipment to the Magic Crystal Ball and turned his gaze to the costume blueprint.

Hmm... looks like I have a new outfit.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, put away the blueprint, and was about to return to the main city.

Just then, he received a message from Qing Ying.

[Qing Ying: Brother Mortal World, Xiaoyao and I encountered a task that requires us to go to the Eastern Swamp east of Leaving Fire City to get the skin of a Giant Thunder Frog.]

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

"East... I'm in the north."

After a brief thought, Jiang Chen replied via voice message, "How much time do you have?"

[Qing Ying: 45 minutes, Brother Mortal World, should we wait for you?]

"If you wait for me, it will be too late."

Jiang Chen said via voice message, "You guys go quickly. The mobs near the main city should be easy for you now."

[Qing Ying: Got it!]

Then.

Jiang Chen quickly headed towards the main city.

After walking for nearly 20 minutes.

Jiang Chen arrived at the north gate of Leaving Fire City.

Then he used the teleportation array at the city gate to transport to the Central Plaza of the main city.

Without stopping, Jiang Chen quickly walked towards the blacksmith shop in the commercial street.

Soon, he arrived at his destination.

"A Niu's Blacksmith Shop!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the sign at the entrance and quickly walked in.

He saw A Niu squatting by the large furnace, continuously working the bellows, with the fire burning brightly.

"Task handover!" Jiang Chen shouted.

A Niu immediately looked over, his expression puzzled, "Who are you?"

"Hmm? Oh!"

Jiang Chen quickly took off his mask, "It's me!"

"That's a nice mask!"

A Niu smiled slightly, then asked, "How did you finish the task so quickly?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Of course!"

"Impressive!"

A Niu's face lit up with joy as he quickly walked up to Jiang Chen, "Let me check the number of items."

"Here!"

Jiang Chen handed over the [Purple Crystal Tears] and [Spring of Purity Water] from his backpack.

"The number of Spring of Purity Water is correct. I can help you purify those two Platinum Level pieces of equipment for free, but..."

A Niu paused, looking at Jiang Chen, and said, "There are only nine Purple Crystal Tears, one is missing."

"The Purple Crystal Tears didn't drop, but I got this instead."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out a light purple gem.

"This is a Purple Crystal Gem!"

A Niu's expression was one of shock, and he asked in disbelief, "Did you encounter a mutated Purple Crystal Demon Wolf in the mine and kill it?"

"Seems like you know quite a bit!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "This Purple Crystal Gem should be enough to help me repair the equipment, right?"

"Enough, more than enough. This one 'gem' is worth ten 'tears,' and it's priceless!"

A Niu nodded quickly, his eyes never leaving the gem in Jiang Chen's hand.

"In that case, its value seems to exceed the requirement..."

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin and said slowly, "I think I'll wait until I gather ten Purple Crystal Tears to hand in the task."

"No!"

A Niu shouted immediately, then quickly said, "Give me this Purple Crystal Gem, and I'll help you repair an extra piece of equipment!"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "I don't have any other equipment that needs repairing."

"Uh..."

A Niu was stunned, then after a brief thought, he said, "I just remembered something; I wonder if you're interested."

"What is it?"

"Tracking Powder!"

A Niu took out a small cloth bag, similar to a sachet.

[Tracking Powder: Special consumable. After the powder comes into contact with the target, it can provide the target's location coordinates for two hours. Uses: 20/20].

"Not bad!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. Such special items were particularly rare!

"I'll give you the Tracking Powder and help you repair the equipment. You give me the Purple Crystal Gem."

"Deal!"

[You have obtained Tracking Powder!]

Then, Jiang Chen handed over the Purple Crystal Gem.

He also gave A Niu the damaged ring and the two contaminated Platinum Level pieces of equipment.

"Wait a moment... everything will be ready in ten minutes!"

A Niu took the equipment and walked to the large anvil, starting to work on them.

At the same time.

Jiang Chen received a message from Tao Xiaoyao.

[Tao Xiaoyao: Brother Mortal World, I think I've caused some trouble...]

"Caused trouble?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback and asked via voice message, "What happened?"

[Tao Xiaoyao: Just now, while I was farming mobs, someone kept harassing me. I lured him into the mob group, and accidentally... he died.]

Jiang Chen said via voice message, "So what if he died?"

[Tao Xiaoyao: Now a group of people has surrounded me, I...]

"Where's Qing Ying?"

Jiang Chen frowned.

[Tao Xiaoyao: Sister Qing Ying was farming mobs on the other side just now. She's here now, and the other side hasn't dared to make a move yet, but Sister Qing Ying is already arguing with them.]

"Goodness! Qing Ying never backs down in an argument."

Jiang Chen could already imagine Qing Ying furiously berating the other side.

In the wild, it's strange if they don't end up fighting!

He immediately said, "Tell Qing Ying to hold them off for a bit, I'm coming over right now!"
