Chapter 6: Divine Skill, Purification

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The treasure chest was very ordinary. It was made of wood and was also a little moldy.

If this were the real world, this kind of chest would seem to have a treasure, but it would be hard to say in the game, so one couldn’t have too much hope.

Mike checked the hidden information.

[Current Treasure Chest: A treasure chest dropped by a Boss-tier Exotic Beast. Inside is the boss’ lifetime collection.]

[Inside is a secret recipe, a blueprint, and some materials.]

[Danger!]

[There is the remaining power of a boss-tier Exotic Beast waiting to launch a sneak attack below the treasure chest. Please eliminate that power first. (The treasure chest is a useful resource. It will not be damaged by default. If you want to destroy the treasure chest, you can adjust the attack mode.)]

Mike could not help but take two steps back.

Although he was apprehensive of the treasure chest and did not intend to open it directly, he was still slightly shocked because there was something strange below.

Were Exotic Beasts always so difficult to deal with? It could still leave a trap even after it died.

Mike conjured a Fireball.

Boom!

The treasure chest blazed.

– 931.

– 912.

– 892.

Wisps of black smoke appeared and the remaining power hidden under the treasure chest was eliminated.

The treasure chest was fine.

It was precisely because the hidden information indicated that the treasure chest would be fine, that he felt confident to conjure the Fireball.

Opening the treasure chest.

[Obtained: Beginner Purification Recipe x 1 (Alchemy)]

[Obtained: Basic Furnace Blueprint x 1 (Forging)]

[Obtained: Weapon Material x 3 (Can be made into weapons)]

[Obtained: Broken Leather Armor Material x 3 (Can be made into leather armor)]

[Obtained: Level 10 Beast Fangs (Purple)]

[Obtained: Level 10 Beast Fur (Purple)]

The materials weren’t important.

Mike didn’t have any weapons or leather armor to make, nor did he need any beast materials. He could only store them in the warehouse.

The secret recipe and the blueprint were the important ones.

He checked the information.

[Beginner Purification Spell: A godly skill in alchemy. The refining materials are extremely rare and pure. They contained a large number of impurities, which affects the effect and success rate. The purification spell can purify the refining materials, increasing the effect and success rate. It is extremely precious. Can be used immediately, consumes 80 energy.]

[Basic Furnace: An essential item for forging. The primary furnace can already refine several equipment and tools, increasing the effectiveness and success rate. It has many uses. Learning this blueprint will not grant you the furnace as it has to be forged. It is recommended to learn the blueprint.]

The furnace was easy to understand. It was an essential tool for forging.

The Beginner purification spell was amazing.

Purification of materials!

Even the hidden information rated this skill as a godly skill.

Could it… be able to purify the poison of the black-striped grass and only retain the black-striped grass’s energy-boosting effect?

If it could…

Then that would be invincible…

[Beginner Purification Recipe: Successfully learned]

[Energy -80]

[Current energy: 5/100]

[Obtained skill: Purification (Beginner)]

[Basic Furnace Blueprint: Successfully learned]

[To build a basic furnace, conditions:]

[Iron Ore: 0/10]

[Copper Ore: 0/10]

[Energy: 60]

Mike was in a daze. Learning the secret recipe had consumed 80 energy.

His energy dropped drastically, and his?strength dropped rapidly.

Now, it was even difficult to guarantee his survival.

“Lack of energy, it feels like I’m dying…” Mike was terrified.

He casually pulled out a Black-Striped Grass.

Purification.

Fortunately, the purification skill did not consume any energy. Just like casting a normal skill, it only had a cooldown time, and there were no other requirements.

[Black-Striped Grass: Poison -10, Energy + 5]

[The purified Black-Striped Grass is no longer poisonous. Energy has doubled.]

Mike hurriedly ate it.

[Energy + 10]

Energy recovered to 15 points.

Although it was still very low, Mike instantly felt more alive.

“Phew… Let’s continue to purify.” Mike breathed a sigh of relief.

He gathered a large amount of Black-Striped Grass.

Soon after purification…

[Energy + 9]

[Current energy: 100/100]

Regeneration!

“I have stored a large amount of Black-Striped Grass, so I won’t encounter energy problems in the future.” After experiencing this disaster, Mike could no longer risk running out of energy.

He checked the furnace.

There wasn’t a problem with energy now. He could consider forging equipment to increase his strength.

“The iron and copper ores required to refine the furnace need to be mined in a special place and are not found anywhere. Are there even iron and copper ores here?” Mike frowned.

He was a little worried.

He felt that he wouldn’t be able to gather the materials to make it in such a short time.

“Right.

“The Trade Market!”

Mike suddenly remembered one of the functions in the function interface. He didn’t have the materials, but he could buy them from others.

Maybe there was an endless supply of iron ore around others.

When he went to the Trade Market, everyone’s information was published here.

Appearance, gender, name—nothing was hidden.

This would make things a little difficult.

In the future, it would be difficult to directly sell items that were too high-grade. If he presented an especially high-grade item and caused a big shock, that would be bad.

Mike searched for iron ore and copper ore but there was none.

There was no one on the shelves selling these two items at the Trade Market.

Presently, the items on the shelves were all basic materials that were not worth much. This was also very normal. Many people did not know the prices of the items, so they would not rashly put their items on the shelves so early in the game to avoid losing money.

“Since no one is selling them, then I will take the initiative to buy them.”

Mike decided to take the first step.

Since no one knew the price of the item, Mike would make the first offer.

In the future, whether the price was higher or lower, he could slowly adjust it.

“I will exchange for it with the purified Black-Striped Grass,” Mike decided.

If there was anything that Mike had that was worth a lot of money, it would be the Black-Striped Grass.

The Black-Striped Grass was everywhere, a bountiful resource.

Regardless of whether Mike made a profit or a loss, he would not feel bad about it.

“I’ll use the Black-Striped Grass to exchange for iron ores and copper ores.” Mike set the price.

Ten stalks of Black-Striped Grass were packaged into one portion.

One portion was exchanged for a piece of iron ore/copper ore.

One stalk of Black-Striped Grass increased energy by 4-10 points.

Ten stalks of Black-Striped Grass would recover only half the energy if one was unlucky.

If one was lucky, full energy would be recovered.

The iron and copper ores were basically useless at the moment.

If he used something that was currently useless to exchange for something that recovered at least half of their life, there would definitely be a lot of people willing to trade.

Mike described the Black-Striped Grass that had been purified and turned white.

[Special Material: One stalk can recover 4-10 energy without any side effects.]

[One set would be ten stalks.]

[One set of the Special Material, trade: Iron ore/copper ore 1 piece.]

[Total: 20 sets]

There weren’t too many on the shelves.

20 sets first.

If there were too many on the shelves, people would think that this item wasn’t worth much, and they might be cautious in their trade.

It was best to release the goods bit by bit.

Soon, Mike saw the upper right corner of the information on the shelves. The item had been checked: 70,256 times.

Multiple channels were in an uproar.

“Quick, look at the Trade Market. Someone has put up an item that can restore energy!”

“They didn’t mention its name. They named it a Special Material. Is it really as effective as it describes?”

“For all authentication and guarantee measures of the trade market, the total number of unknown items will require to be + 1 or more to be randomly checked. Since it has been successfully put up, the description will definitely not be a problem.”

“Someone found a way to restore energy so quickly?”

“Big bro, big bro.”

“If that’s the case, then we wouldn’t have to worry about survival when the camp loses its effectiveness.”

“Iron and copper ores? Where do we mine it from?”
