12: Copper treasure chest

After sending the message, Liu Yang waited for a while, but Shi Yufei did not reply.

Instead, she directly chose to trade.

[Shi Yufei traded with you and obtained Small Universal Flower Pot x1, wind spirit stone x1.]

"?????????"

Liu Yang blinked his eyes, completely confused.

"Beautiful Miss Shi, what does this mean?"

Shi Yufei was very generous.

"I don't need this, it's for you."

Liu Yang was stunned, extremely surprised.

At this critical juncture, every drop of water could cause people to fight over it.

Even a rotten wood or a smelly stone had its uses and places where it could be used.

And the two items Shi Yufei traded over were much higher-grade and more valuable than those ordinary materials.

Now, giving them to him without a word, this made a warmth rise in Liu Yang's heart.

First, she saved his life, and then she gifted him urgently needed items. Liu Yang felt that such great kindness and virtue could only be repaid by giving himself...

Ahem, only by finding an opportunity to hug her properly... no, to repay her properly.

Liu Yang did not reply. He felt that no amount of thanking was as sincere as actual action.

"So, how should I express my gratitude?"

He looked at his warehouse, but there was nothing remarkable.

After thinking for a moment, he first took out an apple, then took out two bananas and gave them to Shi Yufei.

Girls should eat more fruit.

This was not a thank-you gift, but just sharing between friends, letting her have a taste.

Exiting the chat, Liu Yang's gaze fell on the Small Universal Flower Pot that Shi Yufei had traded.

Although called a small flower pot, it was not small at all, about the size of a large water vat.

[Small Universal Flower Pot: A magical flower pot that can ignore all plant growth environments, allowing them to grow healthily in this flower pot.]

"This is truly getting what I need when I need it. Is this Shi Yufei really my lucky star?"

He took out the Bread Tree seed, dug a hole in the flower pot, and buried it.

[Bread Tree seed planted successfully. Spiritual Energy can be invested to speed up growth.]

"I currently have 36 points of Spiritual Energy. Should I try throwing in 6 points first?"

Looking at his Spiritual Energy reserves, Liu Yang's mind moved, and he invested 6 points into the flower pot.

Then.

Under Liu Yang's gaze.

The just-leveled soil bulged into a small mound.

Immediately after, a tender sprout broke through the soil's confinement, exposed itself to the air, and grew at an extremely fast rate.

Before long, a sapling about one meter tall with lush green leaves was rooted in the flower pot, gently swaying.

"6 points of Spiritual Energy only grew into a small sapling. How much will it take to grow bread?"

Although he thought so, Liu Yang was not reluctant and invested another 10 points of Spiritual Energy.

With the investment of Spiritual Energy, the small sapling began to grow wildly, instantly reaching nearly two meters in height.

Looking at the roof, Liu Yang muttered:

"It's clearly still early for this Bread Tree to flower and bear fruit. If I keep feeding it, won't it push the roof off?"

So, Liu Yang began to invest into the flower pot little by little.

It wasn't until he invested the thirty-second point, when the Bread Tree grew to just over 3 meters, that flower buds finally emerged from various parts of the branches.

"It seems it's impossible to directly ripen it all at once. I'll wait until I get more Spiritual Energy before continuing."

Feeling that his feet were much better, Liu Yang endured the severe pain and came to the door, closing it tightly.

Then, with great effort, he moved the wood bed to the corner of the wall and took out iron blocks to fill the hole dug by the Rat King, propping it up with the bed leg.

Then he climbed onto the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

But just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly sat up again.

"I almost forgot, since I have all the materials to manufacture an excellent Wind Spirit Crossbow. Why keep them? I must make it quickly."

Why wait for something that is destined to be done.

Moreover, since the wood house has a large hole, wouldn't adding a more powerful weapon increase the safety factor?

Liu Yang opened the manufacturing page and clicked to manufacture an excellent Wind Spirit Crossbow.

[You manufactured an excellent Wind Spirit Crossbow. wood -4, iron block -2, copper block -1, hemp rope -1, wind spirit stone -2.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained an excellent Wind Spirit Crossbow.]

Then he manufactured eighty matching crossbow bolts.

[You manufactured eighty excellent Wind Spirit Crossbow matching crossbow bolts. Iron block -16, wood -32.]

He took out ten crossbow bolts and filled the arrow slot, then raised the crossbow to examine it.

The crossbow was not heavy overall, and could be easily operated with one hand, yet it didn't feel light; it had a strange, heavy texture.

Liu Yang did not shoot. He didn't know if it would damage the wood house.

If he wanted to try it out, he would have to wait until his foot injury healed.

Just like that, with a knife in one hand and the crossbow in the other, Liu Yang ate nothing and slowly fell asleep.

"Gurgle gurgle."

Hunger struck, and Liu Yang was awakened by the hunger.

The moment he opened his eyes, he focused his attention on his feet.

He wiggled his toes and rotated them; there was no discomfort at all.

"How magical! I woke up and they were completely healed. This is just primary wound powder. If it were a higher grade, what kind of effect would it have?"

Liu Yang exclaimed, delighted.

He got out of bed, rinsed his mouth and washed his face, took out food, and began to wolf it down.

After eating and drinking his fill, he began to pack his gear.

A knife and crossbow were essential, but he could no longer wear his shoes.

His delicate feet could not adapt to the uneven ground.

He took out hemp cloth, cut it into strips with his knife, and wrapped his feet tightly.

He tried walking a few steps and couldn't help but sigh, "Although it can't compare to shoes, I'll just have to make do."

He pulled open the door of the house and looked back at the corner of the wall.

"Ah, I don't know when I can upgrade the wood house again. Five wood spirit stones are hard to come by."

"Leaving a safety hazard, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully in the future."

There were many things that needed to be resolved. Liu Yang cast aside distracting thoughts, gathered his spirits, and walked out of the house.

Now that the Rat King was eliminated, the passage on the right should not be very dangerous. This was a good time to explore.

[Congratulations! You killed an Underground Palace Ant and obtained wood x1.]

[Congratulations! You killed an Underground Palace Fly and obtained iron block x1.]

[Congratulations! You killed a Dungeon Rat and obtained charcoal x2, wood x1.]

He walked forward, and all the Earth Palace Creatures he encountered died under Liu Yang's knife.

As for the Wind Spirit Crossbow, he hadn't encountered a situation that required its use.

Using it to kill rats, he couldn't see its power or effect at all.

However.

Half a day passed, and Liu Yang was stunned.

Because the path ahead had reached its end, there was nowhere to go.

There were only numerous rat holes.

Wait.

Suddenly, Liu Yang's eyes lit up.

In a wall hole much larger than the other rat holes, a yellow light flashed in his eyes.

[Bronze Treasure Chest: A treasure chest that is extremely difficult to appear in the Initial Dungeon. To be able to obtain it, one must say that your luck is truly good. Opening this treasure chest, if you are lucky, you can obtain items that small monsters in the Initial Dungeon will not drop.]

"This..."

"Hahahaha, I was just envious of Shi Yufei yesterday, but I didn't expect to encounter one myself so quickly. It seems my luck is also excellent."

Fearing sudden changes, Liu Yang lunged forward.

He poked into the hole with his knife to confirm there was no danger, then reached in and took out the treasure chest.

He spat into his palm, rubbed them vigorously, and then wiped them on his clothes.

Believing his hands were clean, he then closed his eyes and prayed.
