11: Beast Fang Fruit! Trial Copy!
Deep within the plain, an area connected to hundreds of Waste Rat nests.
"That's not right. They said they saw a Mutated Wasteland Rat using the Crystallization skill in this very area."
"Did they lie to us?"
"Or did that Mutated Wasteland Rat leave this area?"
"But that shouldn't be. Waste Rats usually have fixed activity areas and rarely go to other areas."
Just as Ye Ze had guessed, Wei Xingyue and the others were still in the Barren Rat Plain, specifically for the Crystallization skill print stone.
Last night, Wei Xingyue learned from a team that they had encountered a Mutated Wasteland Rat while hunting monsters in the Barren Rat Plain. During the battle with this Waste Rat, they discovered it had awakened the Crystallization skill.
Based on the location information they obtained from questioning,
Wei Xingyue led her team to the current area, but even after clearing out all the Waste Rats in this area, they couldn't find that Mutated Wasteland Rat.
Wei Xingyue frowned. Wasting so much time without finding that Mutated Wasteland Rat was not good news for their team.
Just then,
Xu Yan looked at her communication watch, her expression somewhat complex: "Sister Xingyue, Ye Ze sent me a message."
She looked up at Wei Xingyue: "He said he has a Crystallization skill print stone and asked if we needed it."
Hearing this,
Wei Xingyue quickly said: "Yes, of course, we need it."
After speaking, she realized: "It seems someone got there before us."
Her words sounded a bit helpless, but her tone carried a hint of excitement.
As long as they could buy this skill print stone from Ye Ze, their efforts wouldn't be completely wasted.
With this skill print stone, Wei Xingyue was confident she could clear the newly appeared Trial Instance.
What she didn't know was,
this Mutated Wasteland Rat not only gave Ye Ze a skill print stone but also allowed him to obtain a Bronze-grade secret treasure.
"Ask him for a price," Wei Xingyue said to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan quickly sent a message to Ye Ze,
After a while,
She looked up and said: "He's asking for 100,000 dragon coins."
"He also asked if we have wild spirit ginseng. One wild spirit ginseng can be exchanged for 50,000 dragon coins."
"wild spirit ginseng?"
"The Chef profession doesn't have high attribute growth. Does he want to supplement attributes with Spirit fruits?" Wei Xingyue murmured.
She immediately continued: "We don't have wild spirit ginseng."
"But I have a beast fang fruit."
...
...
On the other side, Ye Ze saw the message from Xu Yan: "My Captain said, one beast fang fruit in exchange for the Crystallization skill print stone."
"beast fang fruit!"
Ye Ze's eyes lit up,
The beast fang fruit is also a Spirit fruit that adds attributes,
But it adds Strength attribute!
One fruit adds +5 Strength attribute, which is exactly what he currently needs.
"If I remember correctly, the dungeon maps around Nanjiang City don't produce beast fang fruit."
"The beast fang fruit in Wei Xingyue's hand must have been circulated from another city."
Ye Ze pondered in his mind: "Rarity makes things precious, and coupled with the fact that beast fang fruit adds Strength attribute, its price is probably much higher than wild spirit ginseng."
"Although the actual value of the Crystallization skill print stone is greater than the beast fang fruit, the price should be similar."
Spirit fruits that can add attributes are too rare, and the market demand is huge. As soon as they appear on the market, they are basically bought by professionals.
wild spirit ginseng is also because the Barren Rat Plain produces it,
That's why its price on the exchange is a bit lower.
After weighing it up, Ye Ze finally agreed to the trade.
"Deal!"
"Trade at the Elite Town trading square at 8 PM."
After sending the communication message, Ye Ze's gaze fell on the wild spirit ginseng in his hand, which he had just picked from the rock wall.

An hour and a half later,

He swallowed the wild spirit ginseng in one gulp,

...
Combat power broke through 4 stars!
And the Strength attribute reached 52, which means I can pull the Frost Bow now.
Ye Ze was happy in his heart,
With the Frost Bow, his efficiency in killing monsters and leveling up would also be higher...
...
Three hours later, on the bus returning to Elite Town.
"The message in the group was actually true. Ye Ze is really grinding monsters alone in the Barren Rat Plain."
"He is indeed alone in the Barren Rat Plain, but whether he's grinding monsters is hard to say."
"Think about it, he's a Chef and can't level up. He can't even beat the lowest-level Waste Rats, so how could he possibly grind monsters alone?"
"Then what is he doing in the Barren Rat Plain?"
"Who knows."
"..."
...
Ye Ze was already used to the students on the bus gossiping about him.
A famous person once said that when a person is good-looking, they won't get angry when others call them ugly.
Ye Ze was probably in such a mindset now.
Just then, someone suddenly said: "Have you heard? A new Trial Instance has appeared in the Bloody Wasteland. It's a level 2 danger level, and anyone below level 10 can enter.
The Corpse Fiends inside the Trial Instance are said to give a lot of Energy."
...
"Newly appeared Trial Instance." Ye Ze's heart stirred, and he listened carefully.
"Are you talking about the Corpse Ghoul Factory? I heard many big shots are trying to clear this Trial Instance."
"Of course. The first team to clear a Trial Instance gets a first clear reward. Who wouldn't want to be the first to clear it?"
"Not just the first clear reward, the three major middle schools have also set up an additional clear reward to encourage students to clear it. The first ten teams to clear the Corpse Ghoul Factory will all receive it."
"Yes, I saw that too. The first team to clear it seems to get 500,000 dragon coins, plus a choice of any 3 Bronze-grade equipment!"
"..."
...
"Corpse Ghoul Factory, 500,000 dragon coins!"
Ye Ze's eyes lit up,
Dungeons are said to be independent spaces that were born after this world merged with other worlds.
There are many types of dungeons, such as Great World Dungeons, Small World Dungeons, Ruin Dungeons, Challenge Dungeons... and so on.
Trial Instances are the lowest level of these dungeons.
Ye Ze recalled when the Teacher talked about Trial Instances in class, he said this: "Trial Instances are more like trial spaces. The monsters inside are not real, they are almost all formed by rules.
This is also why only Trial Instances have first clear rewards. Because essentially, this is a trial."
Ye Ze raised his wrist and tapped on his communication watch, logging into the Nanjiang City official website.
On the dungeon section of the official forum, he found information about the Corpse Ghoul Factory.
[Corpse Ghoul Factory]
Monsters: Corpse Demon Worker, Corpse Patrolman, Corpse Fiend Guardian, Corpse Ghoul Foreman (Boss-level monster)
Description: The teleportation entrance is green, level 2 danger level. The Corpse Ghoul Factory has two floors, underground level one and underground level two.
Warning: The factory is filled with dense poisonous fog. Entry requires purchasing poison resistance potions and antidote potions...
