After parting ways with Tuu, Henry returned to the mining site with the two women.
The site was noticeably quieter now, with many miners detained following the recent upheaval.
Only a few workers remained, busy adjusting some of the equipment.
With fewer distractions, Henry found it much easier to search for gnomes.
In just a day and a half, he managed to gather all thirty gnomes required for their task.
Henry visited Tuu's apartment to hand over the thirty gnomes.
"Congratulations on successfully completing the Sinner Level 9 task," Tuu said with a smile, pulling out three badges marked with Sinner Level 8 from his drawer and handing them to Henry.
Holding the badges, Henry immediately felt the oppressive force of the Sinners' Realm on him lessen slightly.
Although the reduction seemed minor, it noticeably enhanced Henry's combat capabilities, improving his overall strength by about ten percent.
