“Awesome!”
“Awesome!”
“What a thrilling battle!”
“Just looking at all the loot on the ground makes me feel good!”
Above the canyon,
Chu Chen gazed at the loot scattered around the Rift,
a radiant smile spreading across his excited face.
After a fierce and intense battle,
they had wiped out countless enemies,
the enemy casualties were severe!
Now it was finally time to reap the rewards!
“Dimo, let’s go down and start collecting the loot!”
Chu Chen cast a Wind Technique, allowing the wind to gently support his body, then he started pulling Dimo down, eager to get started.
Soon, Chu Chen and Dimo reached the bottom of the canyon.
They looked at the loot shimmering across the ground, as if they were looking at rare treasures,
their eyes lit up!
“Dimo, take the side with the Rift, I’ll take this side.”
“Dimo! (Leave it to me.)”
Chu Chen and Dimo each took a side and started collecting the loot on the ground.
“Will of the Trampled? Picked it up!”
“Throb Nuclei? Picked it up!”
“What’s this? Ambition of Alteration? Picked it up!”
“.....”
Chu Chen collected everything he saw, without hesitation.
Even the Extinguished Nuclei, worth only 1 Rock Drill, he didn't hesitate to pick up, not missing a single one.
After a while,
Chu Chen and Dimo finished collecting,
and started to gather together.
“How about you Dimo, how much did you get?”
“Dimo! (It’s all here.)”
Dimo pointed to a small pile of loot behind him and said to Chu Chen.
“Alright, not bad!”
“I got a little more than you.”
“Let’s see how much we can sell these for!”
Putting both piles of loot together,
Chu Chen opened the Rock Merchant and started recycling these items.
【Ding, Host sold 66 Throb Nuclei, earning 330 Rock Drills!】
【Ding, Host sold 47 Wills of the Trampled, earning 235 Rock Drills!】
【Ding, Host sold 113 Microlight Nuclei, earning...】
After selling the items to the Merchant,
the system immediately sent a series of prompts that sounded particularly pleasant to Chu Chen’s ears.
【Your current balance: 1321 Rock Drills.】
After selling all the items,
Chu Chen eventually earned 1314 Rock Drills.
Adding to the 7 Rock Drills he had left, that was his current balance.
“Over a thousand!”
“It’s actually over a thousand!”
Looking at his current balance, Chu Chen felt a little excited.
From single-digit Rock Drills to four-digit Rock Drills now,
it was only a day!
This was a significant leap forward!
Although a thousand Rock Drills was still meager, he couldn’t buy anything too good.
But at least, this was a stable income, giving him hope.
And when a person has hope, they have the confidence to keep going.
“One round can earn a thousand Rock Drills.”
“What if I do two rounds a day, and continue for a month...”
“Wouldn’t that be tens of thousands of Rock Drills?!”
“Good heavens, I'm going to be rich!”
After calculating the income from grinding monsters, Chu Chen’s face filled with joy.
Originally, he thought that tens of thousands of Rock Drills were still out of reach in the short term,
but now it seemed like it was only a matter of grinding a few more days.
As long as he kept this perfectly positioned Rift,
then even one hundred thousand Rock Drills would be within reach!
It wasn’t even a difficult feat!
Now, his only worry was whether this Rift could produce at least two waves of Rift creatures a day.
However, this worry was thrown to the back of his mind in the following days.
Because, this worry was completely unnecessary.
This Rift was much more active than he imagined,
forget two waves a day,
even six or seven waves in a row had happened several times!
....
Time slipped by quietly as Chu Chen and Dimo tirelessly ground monsters.
In the blink of an eye, a little over a month had passed.
This day, Chu Chen and Dimo had just finished a wave of grinding and were resting by a pile of loot.
“Selling this batch of loot will get our Rock Drill balance over one hundred thousand.”
“We can finally upgrade our strength!”
“Wow, I can’t wait!”
Looking at the pile of shiny things in front of him, Chu Chen could already visualize himself becoming incredibly powerful.
“Dimo Dimo! (We can eat all sorts of delicious fruits to become stronger! I can’t wait!)”
Dimo also started to imagine what kind of luxurious feast he would be enjoying.
“Merchant, activate!”
“Start selling!”
Chu Chen opened the Merchant and began selling.
【Ding, Host sold... earning...】
【Ding, Host sold...】
【Ding, Congratulations, Host’s Rock Drill balance has reached one hundred thousand, gaining the title 《Moneybags》】
.........
The items were quickly sold by Chu Chen,
and his Rock Drill balance reached a new height!
【Your current balance: 102132 Rock Drills】
“Over one hundred thousand!”
“Finally over one hundred thousand!”
“This is a day to remember!”
“All the hard work these past few days has finally paid off!”
Chu Chen looked at his balance, his heart filled with excitement!
One hundred thousand Rock Drills,
for him now, was a huge sum of money!
Enough for him and Dimo to improve their strength a great deal.
After improving their strength,
not only would he be more confident in dealing with the potential dangers of searching for the Star Nucleus in the future,
but it would also accelerate his grinding efficiency.
“Huh?”
“The system also gave me a title?”
“Moneybags??”
“What’s this?”
Chu Chen saw the title panel that the system had just opened, with a puzzled expression.
【Title: 《Moneybags》】
【Wearing effect one: Slightly changes a person’s aura, making others subtly think you’re a person with some savings, not a broke-ass with an empty wallet.】
【Wearing effect two: 2% off all items in the Rock Merchant!】
“Good heavens, this title is interesting!”
“It can actually change my aura and make others think I’m not broke?”
“Uh… I feel… like it’s not that useful.”
“The second effect is pretty good though.”
“2% off the whole store, while it seems negligible, a penny saved is a penny earned.”
“When I spend more in the future, the little savings add up, and it’ll be a huge sum over time.”
After reading the title introduction, Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh and complain, then he put the title on.
“How about Dimo?”
“Do you feel any difference in me?”
After putting on the title, Chu Chen was curious whether it really had an effect,
so he asked Dimo, hoping to hear its opinion.
“Dimo? (Different?)”
“Dimo Dimo! (Let me take a closer look!)”
“Dimo… Dimo! (It feels like you… are rich, Partner?)”
“Dimo.... (Weird, why do I feel this way.....)”
Dimo looked left and right at Chu Chen,
finally walked up to Chu Chen, took a good look,
and expressed its feeling.
“Yo, it really works?”
“This is kinda interesting.”
Hearing Dimo say he looked like a rich person, Chu Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.
He didn’t expect the effect of this title to be so noticeable.
This was definitely interesting.
........
Actually, Chu Chen didn’t know that,
this title originally came from the Rock Kingdom game.
When you earn over ten thousand Rock Beys, you can obtain this title.
Unfortunately, time had passed for too long.
The long years had washed away too many memories.
Therefore, Chu Chen didn’t even remember that he had obtained this title in the game back then.
