A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

[Contaminated Life Ore]: Originally a ore full of life force, it has been contaminated and has lost all life force.

Effect: This special ore is contaminated and cannot be used for other purposes. Prolonged contact with it by humans or other supernatural beings will cause it to become contaminated.

"Damn it, you've ruined my path to wealth!" Zhou An cursed immediately.

The contaminated ore has been completely turned into waste.

Just as Zhou An was about to finish the mission, the source of pollution suddenly began to devour the ores.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An immediately stopped what he was doing.

After all these ores are swallowed, Zhou An will then take action to resolve the issue. Would that allow for a complete recovery in one go?

With that in mind, Zhou An stood aside and waited quietly.

In no time at all, the mountain of ore had disappeared, swallowed up by the source of pollution.

The source of pollution was currently suspended in mid-air, constantly emitting waves of deathly aura.

It is visible that the source of pollution is actually a life-giving mineral.

The only difference is that this life ore is red.

You can still vaguely see blood vessels on it, as if some terrible change is taking place.

The ten strange creatures have now recovered.

"Damn it, it's all been swallowed up. Quick, take action immediately and suppress this source of pollution."

The ten strange creatures showed no fear. They dispersed and used special tools and equipment to eliminate the source of pollution.

Zhou An was faster than them; he had already leaped high into the air, reached out, and pressed his hand directly onto the blood-red ore.

The moment he touched it, Zhou An felt his arm being sucked onto it.

His life force surged wildly into the crimson ore like flowing water.

Zhou An took a moment to glance at the attributes.

【Mutated Blood Ore】: Originally an ordinary life ore, it was stained with some kind of blood and, after a long period of mutation, became a source of pollution. Now it is developing its own consciousness.

Effect: It can absorb the target's life force and energy, and once touched, it cannot be broken free; it carries a strong death aura.

Zhou An dared not hesitate and immediately activated the power of the horse talisman.

A flash of white light appeared above the mutated blood mine, instantly dispelling all the deathly aura.

The blood-red veins disappeared, leaving only the purest life force.

The life force that Zhou An had felt being drained surged into his body in that instant, filling the void.

【Essence of Life】: It is formed by merging the life essence of 100,000 tons of life ore into the purest essence of life.

Effect: A special material with extremely strong healing effects; it can also be used to craft special rule items.

After reading the attributes, Zhou An's eyes lit up.

Good stuff, really good stuff.

Zhou An immediately put the Life Essence into his inventory.

After Zhou An landed from mid-air, the ten strange creatures also reacted and rubbed their eyes vigorously.

"Where is the source of the pollution?"

"Where is that blood-red ore?"

They searched frantically, but the instruments showed that the source of the pollution had disappeared, and the blood-red ore was gone too.

Only this empty vault remains.

Zhou An left the Misty Building, and the fourth mission was successfully completed.

[Successfully completed four cleanup missions, meeting the level completion requirements. Do you wish to return? Or continue completing the missions?]

The notification sounded in Zhou An's mind.

"No return." How could Zhou An possibly return now?

After leaving the Misty Building, Zhou An went straight to the coffee shop across the street.

However, before Zhou An could enter the coffee shop, Song Yu came out carrying a cup of coffee.

"Brother An, the mission is complete," Song Yu said excitedly.

"Here, Brother An, this is coffee I brought for you." Song Yu quickly handed the coffee to Zhou An.

"Thank you." Zhou An took the coffee.

【Coconut Latte】: A newly obtained formula from the real world. After consumption, it can refresh the mind and improve mental state. Mental attribute +10, lasting for one minute.

It's a coffee with its own attributes.

Zhou An took a sip, and to his surprise, it tasted even better than coffee in the real world.

"You didn't choose to return, did you?" Zhou An asked, looking at the excited Song Yu.

"No, no, I'm just waiting for Brother An to carry me." Now that I'm back, I'd probably only get a D-level rating.

She's not stupid; why would she choose to go back?

"Okay, that's good." Zhou An nodded slightly.

"Brother Zhou, it seems we have three hours of rest time now. Where should we go?" Counting the time, it's only a little before 2 PM.

"I'll take you to the Faceless Clinic on Tongcheng Street. I have to go out for a bit," Zhou An said, already taking out the rice ball.

"Huh? Um... can I come along?" Song Yu didn't want to be alone.

"The Faceless Clinic will be safe; nothing will happen." Zhou An's voice was calm, but it conveyed an unquestionable tone.

"Mmm." Song Yu could only obediently respond.

The desolate urban area is a relatively remote part of Yinsha City, heavily eroded by wilderness and mist.

Tongcheng Street is also in the deserted area, and it only takes about ten minutes to reach it.

Zhou An gave some instructions to Xiao Ku, then left Song Yu behind and departed Tongcheng Street alone.

“Brother, it takes about forty-five minutes to get to Wanbaoge in Yinsha City. Why don’t you take a break and I’ll open it?” Fantuan said.

"How can you rest? You can only sit; you can't even lie down comfortably," Zhou An said, pursing his lips.

The rice ball was immediately speechless at Zhou An's words. It quickly whispered, "Cough cough, big brother, there's nothing I can do. What can I do? I'm just a little electric scooter."

It was already past 3 p.m. when they arrived at the Wanbaoge Building.

"Big brother, is it okay if I wander around outside by myself?" Fantuan asked as soon as Zhou An got out of the car.

"Want to take a stroll?" Zhou An frowned.

"I just upgraded to a Tier 3 vehicle, and I want to travel more on the road."

"I definitely won't run away. I'll stick with Big Brother and eat ten meals a day," Fantuan quickly replied.

"Fine, whatever you want." Zhou An waved his hand.

If the rice ball really runs away, it doesn't matter, since I still have a level four car vehicle.

……

In front of the Wanbaoge Building, there was a lively and unpredictable scene.

This proves that Wanbaoge's business is doing very well.

Zhou An entered and saw many strange things in the hall, as well as a number of staff members.

Of course, most of them were sitting inside the windows, while there were only seven or eight staff members in the lobby.

Many guests don't have any employees with them, but a strange employee came up to Zhou An.

"Welcome, sir. Is this your first time visiting Wanbaoge?"

A pale-faced female ghost came forward.

She was wearing a very nice business suit, with a glimpse of snow-white skin showing at the chest.

"Mm." Zhou An nodded slightly.

"Hello, guest. This is your first time here. You can become a customer of Wanbaoge by purchasing any item."

"You can select the items you wish to purchase in the operation area."

The female ghost led Zhou An to a vending machine.

"Thank you," Zhou An said, then stood in front of the self-service machine.

It has to be said that this is done in a very modern way.

It's not difficult to operate; the self-service machine has many sections.

First, there are sections for levels 1-9, and then there is a separate section for rule-based items.

Each level of the division has many subcategories.

Such as props, spirit objects, etc.

Furthermore, under the items, there are even more subcategories, such as attack items, support items, and so on.

Even the spirit creatures were divided into many different kinds, which dazzled Zhou An.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou An directly opened the section for rule-based items.

However, to Zhou An's surprise, he did not have permission to enter.

He needs to spend 100,000 in the Treasure Pavilion and reach a certain level before he can enter the section for rule-based items.

Zhou An shook his head, then opened the level nine section.

To Zhou An's disappointment, despite lacking the necessary permissions, he found himself only able to access the first-level partitions as he clicked through the list.

The female ghost beside him seemed to notice Zhou An's doubts and said, "Sir, you need to purchase a level 1 item first to activate your Wanbaoge account."

"Once you download our Wanbaoge APP, you can view the item sections up to your level."
