27 Chapter 27 The Second Mission Begins

At noon, under the scorching sun, a figure rode on a gray wolf and traveled alone on the vast grassland, where the sky met the earth.

Ahead, a bustling market was filled with people haggling and trading goods. Some sold their wares, some made deliveries, and others purchased what they needed and moved on to other destinations to sell their goods.

This was the fourth market that Zhou Ming had visited in the past ten days.

This market was further away than the other three, so Zhou Ming set out early in the morning and rented a gray wolf to speed up his journey, but it still took him half a day to arrive.

This meant that after Zhou Ming finished trading his Gu worms, he did not have time to return to his clan, so he had to find another place to complete his second task halfway.

Zhou Ming didn't care much about this. According to his estimation, no matter how long he spent in the task world, it would only be a moment in reality, whether he completed the task in his room or in the wild.

Upon entering the market, Zhou Ming began to visit various shops, buying and selling Gu worms.

Selling Gu worms was straightforward. He sold only one Red Steel Relic Gu worm in each store.

Although the Red Steel Relic Gu worm was sold for 8,000 primeval stones in the store, Zhou Ming sold it for 7,500 primeval stones to the store, losing 500 primeval stones in the process.

However, due to the scarcity of Red Steel Relic Gu worm, if he was willing to negotiate and bargain, he could get a higher price for them.

But Zhou Ming didn't have the time or energy to waste on a mere hundred or so primeval stones. He quickly sold the Red Steel Relic Gu worms and then bought other Gu worms.

In the first shop, he bought the six Gu worms he needed, including the Grass Willow Gu, the Grass Motion Gu, the Bewilderment Gu, the Ghost Cloak Gu, the Fiend Gu, and the Ghost Eye Gu.

Moreover, he unexpectedly discovered that this store was selling the Grass Fierce Gu, so he happily bought it.

The Grass Willow Gu was a healing Gu worm used to detoxify the body.

The Grass Motion Gu and the Ghost Eye Gu were reconnaissance Gu worms. As the saying goes, "When the wind blows, the grass moves." Being able to perceive subtle movements could give one an advantage.

The Grass Motion Gu was not a Gu worm that enhanced a Gu Master's five senses but rather a sixth sense similar to a sense of danger, which complemented Zhou Ming's extraordinary sense of danger.

The time for the next mission was not clearly specified in the character information given to Zhou Ming, so he could only prepare as best as he could and buy enough supplies for a month.

If the mission lasted longer than a month, Zhou Ming would just have to accept his fate.

Fortunately, among the Gu worms he had, there were a few whose feeding was relatively simple, so even if the mission lasted longer than a month, he would not find himself in the predicament of having no usable Gu worms left.

After buying all the food for the Gu worms, Zhou Ming began to search for rank 2 Gu worms that he had not bought before.

After visiting four stores, Zhou Ming collected a total of 21 different Gu worms, including both consumable Gu worms and regular ones.

With more than 6,000 primeval stones left, he did not continue to buy other Gu worms and decided to save the stones for consumables during the next mission.

Having achieved all his goals for this trip to the market, Zhou Ming left the market under the setting sun and found a place to plant the Lone Gu House Gu.

A mushroom-shaped Gu grew out of the soil and grew taller and taller, reaching over three meters in height, with a huge gray mushroom-shaped head, smooth and shiny.

The mushroom stalk of the Gu was thick and tall, with windows for ventilation and a hollow interior, like a small world for living.

Zhou Ming walked into the Lone House Gu and saw that he could conjure up a soft, fleshy bed and various furniture at his whim. It was small, but complete.

Zhou Ming nodded in satisfaction and entered the main god space.

Then, he submitted all the gu he could submit on his body, a total of 28 rank 2 gu, which contributed 12,320 reward points to him. Together with the remaining 10,699 points he had before, Zhou Ming had a total of 23,019 reward points.

However, immediately after that, he exchanged back the seven gu that he needed, consuming 2,800 reward points. This was equivalent to earning 280 reward points from those seven gu.

Even mosquitoes are meat!

"Main God, exchange 30 pieces of pure soul crystals!"

Zhou Ming did not stop spending. He first exchanged a month's worth of soul crystals, which immediately cost him 15,000 reward points.

Then, he went to the public space and went on a crazy shopping spree at the booths of other reincarnators, buying military weapons, medicine, electronic devices, tools and equipment, daily necessities, and so on.

These more common goods were much cheaper to buy from reincarnators than to directly exchange them with the main god. Sometimes, they even gave unexpected little surprises.

For example, Zhou Ming bought a Yanling Knife made of Adamantine alloy from a reincarnator's booth. Although it was discarded by the reincarnator, the blade was intact, and it was only sold for 700 reward points. With this price, what more could he ask for?

Until he drained his last bit of reward points, Zhou Ming harvested a full load of goods, almost filling up the storage space of two flower storage gu.

Even if he were thrown into a post-apocalyptic world of zombies, he was confident that he could survive the most difficult times and gradually establish a survival base and grow it with these goods.

After ending this crazy shopping trip, Zhou Ming returned to his personal space and sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, waiting for the mission time to come while cultivating.

Finally, at a certain moment, the main god projected a beam of light from the big light ball above, enveloping Zhou Ming.

The second mission began.
