Monster collectors on the cross-platform

For example, even if Huo had the money to buy a white dragon slave, he would never kill it as a collectible. The help a living adult white dragon can provide is extraordinary.

If you don't value the assistance a fully grown white dragon can provide, then the increase in strength that a white dragon's traits can provide is likely to be negligible.

After his stroll, Huo returned to his house, sat cross-legged on the massage bed, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

With the new store opening, Huo plans to continue in the afternoon as well, as it's important to recover his energy.

With the added benefit of the delicious food, Huo recovered to his peak condition in less than an hour.

The shop doors open, and the afternoon business officially begins.

Before long, the first customer of the afternoon arrived.

"Oh, is there a problem with the customer?" Huo asked, still a little puzzled, when he saw the handsome young man from this morning visiting again.

"It's not that I have a problem, it's just that my friend also wants to enchant something," the guy said, raising his right hand, which was clasped together, and looking at the person standing to his right.

Huo glanced to the right of the young man and saw a powerful and muscular man, about 2 meters tall, whose muscles were in no way inferior to the horned demon Huo had seen before.

"What kind of enchantment does the customer want?" Huo asked the burly man.

"Enchanted with Dirty Slime just like me," the handsome young man replied hastily, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Okay," Huo replied, his gaze lingering strangely on their clasped hands for a moment before wisely refraining from asking why.

Chapter 58 Daily Life

After seeing off the two special guests, Huo didn't encounter any more such special guests that afternoon.

Seeing that it was almost time, Huo decided to close the store.

By the end of the day, all the dragon vein kobold warlock artifacts he had previously collected, except for the one he was currently using, had been used up, and the ogre artifacts were almost depleted as well.

After having a good meal at Hope Restaurant, Huo even came to the training area with a toothpick in his mouth.

To earn coins on the network, you also need to improve your strength.

After spending half a year in the Grand World, Huo still felt a faint sense of excitement upon returning to the training area.

"Am I a masochist?" Huo shook his head, trying to banish the thought from his mind, remembering the days he was beaten up in the training area.

Huo randomly chose a room on the second floor, and this time he planned to try training for 1000 Zongwang coins per hour.

Previously, I spent over an hour in clone battles using 100 Zongwang coins. I wonder if there have been any changes in the training now that I'm using 1000 Zongwang coins.

Huo stood still in the middle of the training field, watching the figure gradually taking shape in front of him.

Is it still a battle using clones?

Huo was still somewhat disappointed and was just about to strike first when a strange power spread throughout his body, and his body actually started moving on its own.

Startled, Huo's muscles tensed, but he quickly dispelled the feeling of being controlled.

No, Huo realized that he was in the training room and there was no way he could be in danger. So the feeling of being controlled must have been unique to the 1000 Zongwang Coins training room.

Thinking of this, Huo Huan began to relax his body, and sure enough, that feeling of control once again enveloped his entire body.

Huo didn't try to break free this time; he just quietly watched his body move and fight against the clone opposite him.

Punches, knee strikes, elbow strikes... the two figures countered each move, each attack not gathering energy, but mostly just simple hand-to-hand combat.

Huo watched the two fight like an observer, and the insights gained from the battle flowed continuously through his body. Huo began to try to take control of his body.

After blocking the clone's Black Tiger Claws Heart, Huo retaliated with Monkey Steals Peach. The two exchanged dozens of moves back and forth until Huo was careless and knocked to the ground.

The clone pressed its advantage, raining down punches on Huo Huan, with several penetrating blows entering its body.

A muffled explosion rang out inside Huo Huan's body, and Huo Huan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Having attacked others so many times, this is the first time I've ever been hit by my own skill. From a sensory perspective, the feeling of energy exploding inside my body is really unpleasant.

A white light swept across, and Huo Huan's injuries were instantly healed.

Huo relaxed his body and once again let the training ground control his body.

In this way, whenever Huo had a new insight, he would personally control his body to fight the clone. If he lost, he would give up controlling the clone and observe the two fighting.

An hour passed quickly, and Huo was still standing there in a daze, still immersed in the battle he had just fought.

[Network notification: Through relentless training, your unarmed combat proficiency has been upgraded]

The notification from the integrated network pulled Huo back from his reverie. He opened the integrated network panel and, sure enough, his unarmed combat proficiency had reached level three, and his penetrating force and kung fu skills had also increased significantly.

Feeling slightly tired, Huo hasn't started training again. Training is important, but rest is equally important; a balance between work and rest is the key.

After logging out of the online platform, Huo lay back down on the bed in the gravedigger's hut and turned on his tablet.

With the TV series nearing its end, perhaps I should buy some new entertainment gadgets.

With this thought in mind, and driven by mental exhaustion, Huo quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Huo woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.

He boiled a pot of water with hellfire and, unusually, even made himself a cup of hot tea.

Holding his teacup, watching the sun slowly rise, Huo also looked at the empty space around the house and thought that perhaps he could try planting something.

Shaking his head to dismiss the thought that had just popped into his head, Huo finished his cup of hot tea in one gulp. He decided to focus on clearing the dungeon first.

After quickly completing the Silent Town instance twice, Huo returned to the small shop he had rented from the online marketplace to start his day's business.

The high-quality collectibles, such as the ogre, were quickly depleted. On the second day alone, some relatively rare but useful collectibles were completely used up.

With fewer items in the collection, customers have fewer choices, leading to a decrease in foot traffic.

Huo doesn't have a good solution to this either. Goblin and Kobold dungeons are no longer accessible, and the remaining World and Devil dungeons are on cooldown. Only the Silent Town dungeon is still available for daily material farming.

However, the materials from the Silent Town dungeon have relatively average attributes, with only the Magic Resistance attribute of the Burning Skull being quite popular.

To Huo's surprise, the resurrection ability of the resurrected corpse was almost ignored. Perhaps it was because players in the game only suffered a weakened soul after failing a dungeon, or perhaps players had better ways to revive.

The collection couldn't keep up with demand, forcing Huo to change his plans. He stopped opening in the afternoon and switched to opening only in the morning.

After closing for the morning, Huo Huan, as usual, went to Hope Restaurant for a hearty meal. With the free afternoon ahead, Huo Huan began to revise his plans.

In addition to spending an hour training at the training ground in the evening, Huo also added an extra hour of training time in the afternoon.

As usual, it was a training room where 1000 Zongwang coins were charged per hour, and Huo was still fully focused on his training.

An hour later, Huo, covered in sweat, left the training room.

After wiping away the sweat, I finally had some free time in the afternoon.

Feeling somewhat lost, Huo thought for a moment and decided to go to the trading area to browse around and buy some entertainment equipment for himself.

As he walked along, Huo would occasionally buy and try some unusual snacks, though sometimes he would end up buying food that didn't suit his taste.

"Boss, is this an Enlightenment Tree?" Huo asked with a look of suspicion as he saw the tree branch on the stall marked 500 Zongwang Coins per branch.

"Sir, you've misunderstood. This Enlightenment Tree is not that Enlightenment Tree," the slightly chubby stall owner explained sincerely. "Although my Enlightenment Tree branch wasn't cut from the mother tree, it was cut from an excellent sapling. While the effect isn't as good as the mother tree, it's still much better than other props in the same price range."

"Really? Can you even grow plants from these branches?" Huo asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"Guaranteed to survive. As long as it's not a magic-free plane, it will definitely grow normally," the stall owner said confidently, patting his chest.

After some consideration, and swayed by the stall owner's boasting, Huo also thought about the spacious area around the hut and decided to buy all four remaining tree branches.

The branches are not large, or rather, very small, only about the size of a thumb, with three or four leaves on each branch.

After paying with the network currency, Huo carefully stored the tree branches and bought some Water of Life to prevent them from failing to grow.

After hastily buying a pair of AR glasses as an entertainment prop, Huo hurriedly left the online platform and returned to the gravedigger's hut to try planting the tree branches.

Chapter 59 The Disappearance Case

Back at the gravedigger's hut, Huo chose a clearing near the house.

I pulled out the nearby weeds, then dug a few holes and carefully planted the branches.

He took out the water of life he had bought from his backpack and distributed it evenly to the four branches.

One bottle of the Water of Life had an immediate effect; the remaining weed seeds in the soil sprouted like crazy, as if they had been given fake alcohol, and in the blink of an eye, they grew to be as tall as Huo's calf.

Scratching his head, Huo could only clear away the weeds around the branches again.

After spending some time cleaning up, Huo patted his hands, which were covered in mud and grass clippings.

Seeing the leaves on the branches regain their vitality under the nourishment of the water of life, he nodded in satisfaction. Now he shouldn't have to worry about the plant not surviving.

Huo's life settled down peacefully. In the morning, he would play some dungeons and then open his shop. In the afternoon, he would train for an hour in the training ground and then come back to take care of the 'Enlightenment Tree'. In his free time, he would go out for a stroll or go to the battle zone to find someone to spar with.

After another hour of training in the evening, it's time for leisure and entertainment.

Every day was fulfilling, and before I knew it, it was time to get my paycheck once a week.

After taking off his shirt, Huo spread his dragon wings and flew towards the town of Rosent.

Now that we have wings, we don't have to suffer the hardship of walking all the way on our own two legs.

Huo Huan flew very fast, and within minutes, the outline of the town appeared in Huo Huan's field of vision.

After landing in a spot where no one could see him, Huo folded his wings, put on his shirt, and then headed towards the town.

The town remained as it always was, with most of the people on the streets being women and children, while the men were still working in the factories.

Huo also beckoned to the newspaper boy and spent some money to buy a copy of the newspaper from the last few days.

I quickly skimmed through the newspaper; nothing major had happened, and most of the content was just gossip about certain people.

After folding and putting away the newspaper, Huo went to the butler of the Rosenthal household as usual to collect his meager salary for the week.

After collecting the money, Huo went to the market and bought some fruit, then carried the fruit to Aunt Maggie's grocery store.

When Huo saw the middle-aged woman busy inside the grocery store, he stood at the store entrance and gently greeted her.

"Oh, Little Huo is back!" Aunt Maggie turned around and looked at Huo Huan standing at the door with some surprise. She quickly put down her work and went to greet him.

After accepting the fruit from Huo Huan, Aunt Maggie started chatting with Huo Huan about everyday things.

Although the conversation consisted of nothing more than mundane family matters, Huo somehow found a sense of warmth in listening to it.

"The Levin family's young man went missing a few days ago. Poor old Levin was so worried he couldn't eat or sleep. He doesn't know if he's been found yet."

Missing? Huo's heart skipped a beat. It wasn't unusual for people to die in a small town. Not to mention the elderly, even young people occasionally died in accidents. But going missing was a bit abnormal.
