Monster collectors on the cross-platform

It wasn't in Huo Huan's nature to just take the beating without fighting back. With his Blood Escape activated, Huo Huan charged straight at the android with his sharp claws.

Despite being attacked by the robot and taking three or four shots, Huo still managed to get close to it.

Bone spurs extend from the robot's hand, tearing through the robot's bionic skin, and then extend along the gaps in the robot's shell, severing the energy conduction lines inside the robot.

The next second, the robot stopped attacking and froze in place.

The other robot did the same thing, and Huo quickly passed the easy difficulty level of the dungeon.

[Dungeon clear conditions met, rewards being calculated]

The rewards you received from this dungeon run are: 50 General Coins and 100 Universal Experience.

Huo's method for navigating dungeons is to learn from guides, which allows him to complete dungeons with minimal damage, since these two bionic robots seem to be worth a little money.

Since disrupting energy conduction wasn't difficult for Huo, he simply did it.

After stuffing the two bionic robots into his space backpack, Huo finally had time to take in his surroundings.

The floor was made of metal, and the surrounding area was empty except for some tables and chairs. There were different passages in front, behind, left, and right, and there were characters that Huo did not recognize engraved in front of the passages.

Approaching the passage, Huo also used the network to translate the writing on it.

"Botanical Garden," Huo read aloud the translation provided by the website, then walked to the deepest part of the passage and saw a door.

Huo approached the gate and discovered that he needed an ID card or something similar to open it. Since he didn't have one, Huo could only try to break down the gate by force.

With a series of powerful punches, Huo managed to smash open the door despite the alarm blaring.

Walking into the botanical garden, it was completely empty, with nothing at all. Huo was still stepping on the soft soil, or perhaps that wasn't quite right, since there was still mud around.

Because it was only on easy difficulty, monsters only spawned in the lobby, so Huo took the opportunity to explore the entire spaceship despite the alarms.

There weren't many useful items, but they did find some strange little gadgets, such as a small ball that Huo could float and project onto the screen with a single press, although it didn't seem to have any content stored inside, and the screen would just be blank when projected.

After exploring the entire spaceship, Huo returned to the Gravekeeper's Hut via a portal, retrieved the two robots from his backpack, and immediately entered the Normal difficulty mode.

As usual, the opening scene features two bionic robots giving a friendly bullet greeting. Huo quickly takes care of the two robots before heading towards the botanical garden.

Huo's last stroll wasn't without its rewards. Besides some small toys, he also found a few employee cards. Although the privileges weren't very high, at least he wouldn't have to endure the annoying alarms all the way.

Swipe your card to open the gate to the botanical garden. The botanical garden on normal difficulty is completely different from that on easy difficulty. Compared to the empty space on easy difficulty, the botanical garden on normal difficulty is a lush and green area, looking like a small forest.

Having read the dungeon guide, Huo naturally knew that the enemy was the forest in front of him, or rather, the entire forest had come to life. The seemingly numerous plants were actually just a disguised life form.

The best way to deal with trees is, of course, fire. Huo also took out the kobold warlock's staff from his spatial backpack and threw all three of his fireball spells for the day into the forest.

Three loud explosions rang out, and flames began to burn and rage.

The next second, the earth began to shake, and the surrounding plants began to twist and gather together. Soon, a strange tree-man with flames burning on its body appeared in front of Huo Huan.

According to the guide, players only need to carry a flamethrower to ignite the plants, then try to avoid the tree spirits' attacks. Once the flames have burned away the tree spirits, the player can successfully pass the level.

However, Huo Huan didn't have the patience to wait for it to burn out. He raised his fists, and hellfire began to burn fiercely on his fists.

With his Blood Escape activated, Huo Huan pounced on the Tree Man like a hyena that had smelled blood.

His burning fists slammed into the tree trunk, the sound of the wood cracking echoing in Huo Huan's ears, and igniting a section of the tree.

However, the tree-man's body was simply too enormous, and the damage Huo caused was like a human being bitten by a puppy—it drew blood, but it was only a superficial wound.

However, this was enough to provoke a counterattack from the tree people.

The next second, a whooshing sound rang out, and a tree trunk more than ten times as thick as Huo Huan's was heading straight for Huo Huan.

Huo was not intimidated by the attack and raised his fists to counter it with his own.

The next second, the 'skinny' Huo rolled away like a ping-pong ball that had been hit.

"Hiss, what immense power!" Huo rubbed his arm and stood up, his life energy rapidly repairing his injuries.

However, Huo's attack was not entirely useless; it at least intensified the flames on the tree-man's body.

Having experienced the power of the tree-men, Huo no longer stubbornly tried to fight them head-on. The tree-men were large and strong, but correspondingly, their agility was much worse.

Huo used his agility to jump around on the tree-man and set it on fire. Soon, the tree-man was completely surrounded by flames.

The flames continued to burn, and the treant's movements became slower and slower until it gradually stopped moving altogether.

[The dungeon completion conditions have been met; rewards are being calculated.]

The rewards you received in this dungeon are: 100 Network Coins, 150 Universal Experience, and one pack of White Plant Seeds.

Name: Unknown plant seed (white)

Types: Seeds, Food Ingredients, Medicinal Herbs

Weight: 100g

Effect:?

Description: A seed from an activated plant; no one knows its effects until it matures, unless you can foresee the future.

After carefully storing the seed, Huo summoned the Book of Collections and attempted to contain the still-burning Treant.

A flash of white light, and the burning treant vanished from its spot, successfully contained.

Containing the tree-man was just a habitual action; Huo had thought it would be impossible to contain, like the androids.

Race Name: Revitalized Vitex negundo

Description: A plant that evolved after being infected by a special virus, possessing certain animal-like instincts, and will indiscriminately attack any creature that enters its territory.

Trait: Calm

Calming: The activated Vitex negundo contains a special substance that can stabilize emotions and soothe pain. After equipping it, the player is always in a calm state and can block the sense of pain.

Blocking out pain? Cowardly act.

After reading the introduction, Huo realized that this trait was not suitable for him. Being too calm would make him lose his passion, and blocking pain would be detrimental to close combat.

However, this trait is still very useful for some people.

Chapter 64 Regular Customers

After carefully storing the book of his collection, Huo didn't linger in the instance and left immediately.

Huo had already explored the easy dungeons, and the normal difficulty dungeons only had one more living tree spirit, so there was absolutely no need to explore them again.

After finishing today's dungeon run, Huo carried the newly acquired seeds to the 'Enlightenment Tree'.

With Huo Huan watering it with a daily dose of the Water of Life, the Enlightenment Tree has grown considerably from a small branch, and is now as tall as Huo Huan's calf.

Huo found an open space near the Enlightenment Tree and dug several holes to plant the seeds of the unknown plant.

Don't be fooled by the label saying the activated plant seeds weigh 100 grams; there are only a handful of seeds in the bag, a mere five.

Huo took out a seed the size of a thumb, like a glass ball, and examined it in his palm for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

Clearly, Huo's limited knowledge was insufficient for him to make any identifications.

After planting the five seeds, Huo also discovered that the five seeds did not seem to be the same; at least there were some subtle differences in color.

After covering several seed holes with soil, Huo also took out today's share of the Water of Life and sprinkled it evenly on each Enlightenment Tree.

Looking at the freshly turned soil, Huo thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of water of life from his spatial storage and sprinkled it on the five seeds.

Logically speaking, this activated seed is just a white item, and watering it with the Water of Life, which is worth 1000 Zongwang Coins, would definitely be a losing proposition.

However, since he had planted it himself, Huo still gave it a portion of the Water of Life, considering it was newly planted.

After pulling out the weeds that were sprouting wildly under the stimulation of the Water of Life, Huo thought for a moment, and after confirming that nothing had been missed, he opened the panel and entered the comprehensive network platform.

Grand opening! After finishing the dungeon run, it's time for today's grand opening.

Huo also changed the projector in front of the shop to "open for business," and then just waited for customers to come in.

As Huo Huan's inventory dwindled and the number of customers decreased, he didn't have a good solution. However, the Demon Dungeon's cooldown would end tomorrow, which would be a good opportunity to farm a lot of materials.

While Huo was watching a show and waiting for customers, someone he recognized entered the shop.

"Gambler?!" Huo looked at the familiar face in front of him with some surprise. The two had not been in contact since the gambler abandoned ship and left the instance.

After all, they were just temporary teammates. Huo thought they would never see each other again after their last parting, but he didn't expect to meet them again in his own little shop.

"Long time no see, Jinli," the gambler said, taking off his hat and addressing Huo Huan. "A friend told me there was a master of human enchantment here, and I thought I'd come and see for myself. I never expected it to be you."

"So what enchantments do you need this time?" Since the guest was a customer, as long as he paid, everything was fine. Huo handed over a list of enchantment types as he spoke.

The gambler didn't accept the "Dirty Slime" trait, but directly gave the trait name, clearly having researched it beforehand.

“No problem, come with me.” Huo took back the list and led the gambler into the inner room.

"Just take off your shirt and lie face down on the massage bed; the enchanting process will be a little painful."

After listening quietly to what Huo had to say, the gambler simply took off his shirt and lay down on the massage bed.

Huo didn't need any preparation; he directly manipulated the energy within his body to begin carving on the gambler's back.

A dozen minutes later, Huo, who was becoming more and more skilled, patted the gambler's red back to indicate that he had finished.

The gambler straightened up knowingly, not in a hurry to test his new ability, but instead picked up his clothes and carefully put them on.

Once everything was in order, the gambler walked to the mirror and began to harness the power of the filthy slime.

The gambler's facial features began to writhe like a piece of soft clay, and a few seconds later, an unfamiliar face appeared in the mirror.

"Not bad," the gambler nodded in satisfaction, taking a gold coin out of his pocket and handing it to Huo Huan.

"I don't have any more Crossnet Coins on me. I wonder if this coin can be used to pay for enchanting?"

Huo didn't rush to refuse; instead, he curiously took the coin and examined its effects.

Name: The Lost Coin of Fortune (Blue)

Type: Sacrificial items, functional items

Weight: 5g

Effect: Warning

Introduction: A coin that was accidentally lost from the treasure of the goddess of fate has been imbued with some of her aura. After tossing the coin, a simple prediction will be made about your next move: heads means good fortune, tails means bad fortune.

It turned out to be a blue-quality item. In terms of value, it was more than enough to offset Huo Huan's enchanting costs. As for the coin's function, Huo Huan didn't think it was reliable.

The main issue is that the item's quality is blue, and it can be used daily without limit. Based on these two points, the accuracy of this coin is highly questionable.
