Chapter 6 - Obtain The Water Rune And Enter The Next Catacomb!

The catacomb fell into darkness.

Klein lay on the ground, his hands and feet cold.

Even in the runic base, people couldn't withstand the cold of the night.

Fortunately, Klein ate well and his body was full of energy.

As for those who were hungry without food, it was hard to imagine how miserable they would be.

From time to time, Klein would check the catacombs in a few directions.

He hoped that there would be some changes in the notifications.

For example, that there would be a notification that the crypt creature had left.

However, what he had hoped for didn't happen.

The crypt creatures had never left the catacombs.

Klein couldn't help but suspect that his previous guess was wrong.

Can't this thing leave?

It's a little like the monsters in the game. Could it be that it would always stay in one map and not have to eat or drink?

Klein couldn't help but retort.

He still wanted to steal from the crypt creatures, but it seemed like he had to give up on the idea.

'Everyone should be hungry by now,' Klein guessed in his heart.

He had eaten a loaf of bread two hours ago, and he wasn't even half full.

There was no need to say anything about those unlucky people who didn't manage to dig up any food.

He said, "Hang a loaf of bread on it now."

The corners of Klein's mouth curled up.

With a bunch of people starving, the bread must be even more tempting.

A moment later.

In the trading channel.

[Seller: Klein]

[Item: 400g Wheat Bread]

[Requirement: 1 Water Rune]

[Inventory: 1]

With that, he had already hung up two items.

During the day, no one had come to trade for 400ml of mineral water.

In the chat channel.

Many people couldn't sleep, and they didn't have any entertainment items, so they could only chat.

"F**k, Big Brother Klein hung up his supplies again."

"I saw it. It's a loaf of bread! I'm so hungry. Sob, sob, sob, can Lord Klein give a loaf of bread to a girl for free?"

"Darn Americans, hanging up at a time like this!"

"He wants runes again. What exactly is this? Does anyone know?"

"If I have runes, I'll change them first. Sigh, it's more important to fill my stomach."

When everyone realized that it was Klein again, they were filled with envy and resentment.

God knows how lucky Klein was to have extra food and water.

They didn't even have what he wanted!

Klein was once again privately messaged by many people.

This time, a group of people scolded him for being unsympathetic and even for moral kidnapping.

Klein completely ignored them.

He thought that he wouldn't gain anything tonight.

Five minutes later, a dialog box automatically popped up on the interface.

In the private message channel, a filtering function could be set.

Klein set fire and water runes as the keywords.

Once it was triggered, the dialog box would pop up.

Alice said, "I have water runes. If you are willing to use five pieces of bread, I can make a deal with you."

The portrait was of a pretty girl. She had a good appearance and a good temperament.

Klein raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Finally, a buyer had come to his door.

Alice smiled and said, "Asking for five pieces of bread at once? Heh heh, is that too much?"

Klein shook his head and replied to Alice.

Klein said, "You should know that food is very precious at the moment. In the market, I'm the only one who sells it. Aren't you being too insincere by asking for five pieces at once?"

Alice: Is three pieces okay?

Klein: Don't even think about it! I only have one piece left. If you don't want it, I'll eat it tomorrow.

Alice: Then wait a moment. I'll think about it.

Two minutes later.

[System notification: 400g Wheat Bread transaction completed. Water Rune+1]

Klein checked the transaction record. Sure enough, Alice had used the water rune to exchange for it.

A piece of wheat bread in front of him vanished into thin air.

At the same time, a wooden fragment landed in front of Klein.

The material was unknown.

There were waves on the surface.

A pale blue fluorescence lingered around it.

[Water Rune: The selenium runes in the catacombs world are in doubt. They contain a mysterious power and have a wide range of uses.]

Klein held it in his hand and felt a chill.

He tossed and turned it, but he couldn't figure out the material.

Furthermore, the runes couldn't be decomposed.

'With the water rune, I'm missing a fire rune.'

Klein thought of this and hurriedly went to the trading channel to change the conditions for the 400ml of mineral water.

He would only use fire runes to trade for it.

In the second half of the night, no one came to trade again.

..

It was daybreak.

The number of excavations had been restored to ten. He would head to the sixth catacomb today.

Klein muttered to himself as he put away the runic base.

At that moment, he focused his attention on observing the cave on the right.

[Shh! It has just fallen asleep. Now is not the time to attack.]

Klein was in no hurry.

He first drank some water and ate some bread.

An hour later, he checked again.

[Digging to the right is not bad. The one-eyed lizard is sleeping soundly. After entering, charge forward. With your short spear proficiency, when it opens its eyes, you can poke it blind. This will be a great harvest.]

As expected!

The proficiency of the short spear was sufficient.

Klein took a deep breath and took out his shovel.

He dug out a tunnel first!

The two catacombs were separated by an unknown number of meters.

He wanted to dig out a large tunnel and adjust his condition before charging forward.

A black hole appeared at a full twenty meters.

To be on the safe side, Klein chose to watch again.

The golden prompt didn't change.

The one-eyed lizard was still sleeping soundly.

The black hole completely blocked the sound of digging.

Klein retreated back into the cave.

He put away the shovel and sat down to rest.

He had almost recovered his strength, so he got up and did some warm-up exercises.

Everything was ready.

He adjusted his state of mind.

He gripped the short spear tightly.

Charge!

Klein was unprecedentedly calm.

When he passed through the black hole, as expected, four meters away, a lizard creature that was nearly one and a half meters long was sleeping soundly.

Its face was ferocious and its whole body was green.

It was a one-eyed lizard.
