Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Moonless Night (Thanks for the 10,000 reward from Collapse VS Electricity)

Once he arrived, Han Qiwu stepped onto the staircase.

[You have reached the 33rd floor]

"Wonder what goodies this floor has in store." Han Qiwu picked up his pickaxe and started chiseling at a nearby copper ore.

[You have discovered the staircase]

Han Qiwu: "????"

Already? What’s the catch?

Could it be a fake staircase?

After staring at it for a while, Han Qiwu decided to give it a shot.

[You have reached the 34th floor]

"Why does my lucky streak only apply to finding staircases?" Han Qiwu grumbled, clearly enjoying the good fortune while pretending not to.

"Huff, puff, puff, puff."

As soon as he landed, Han Qiwu heard a familiar noise.

"Perfect timing. The incubator still lacks one moss piece—guess I’ll leave it to you lot to provide." Han Qiwu got into position and pulled out the Thorny Gate shield.

Guard mode activated.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

"Sizzle!"

Among the usual bang-bang-bang sounds, an unexpected sizzling sound suddenly emanated from the surface of the Thorny Gate shield.

Han Qiwu looked up.

What the heck?

Why is there a giant hole on the shield?

And the Thorny Gate shield was getting hotter and hotter.

Han Qiwu quickly darted around to check the front, and right then he saw the culprit.

[Magma Slime]

[Level: 30]

[Attack Methods: Lava Spit, Collision]

[Notes: Scorching! Blistering! Temperamental!]

Seeing the description, Han Qiwu instantly pieced everything together.

What’s the deal with you Slime folk?

You’ve got elemental matchups going on, now? Green Slimes explode the moment they hit fireballs, but Magma Slimes just walk around with stomachs full of lava?

A stomach full of lava isn’t the problem. But could you STOP spitting it everywhere?

Now you’ve wrecked my shield—what am I supposed to do about that?

The Magma Slime obviously wasn’t planning on responding to Han Qiwu’s tirade. It turned around and opened its mouth to fire up another lava attack.

"Shut your mouth!" Han Qiwu stabbed forward with his Longsword, using the knockback effect to break its attack animation.

After a few rounds, Han Qiwu started getting the hang of it. The Magma Slime’s damage was indeed high, and its level intimidating as well—but its casting animation was ridiculously slow. As long as Han Qiwu stayed focused, interrupting its attacks wasn’t hard.

That’s provided he didn’t have other slimes bothering him.

No pain, no gain.

"Eat some grapes!"

Han Qiwu crafted a Grape Grenade and hurled it beneath him.

The first grenade landed, yet the four Green Slimes didn’t disintegrate in white flashes. Instead, they continued barreling toward Han Qiwu.

[Debuff: Speed -6]

[Slime Toxin]: The toxin from Green Slimes slows your movement speed. Each stack decreases speed by 1.5. Effect stacks up to 5 layers.

One mistake, and Han Qiwu found himself under the effect of four layers of Green Slime Toxin yet again.

"This sucks. I can barely move at this point... Guess I’ll just kill you all!" With no other choice, Han Qiwu munched on rice balls and tossed another Grape Grenade beneath him.

After chucking enough grenades, Han Qiwu started getting used to the sensation of explosions underfoot. The fragments hitting his body felt tingly—like instant full-body therapy, soothing his muscles and flushing out lactic acid. Honestly, it felt great!

After four white flashes, Han Qiwu finally got a chance to focus on interrupting the Magma Slime’s attacks again.

A few minutes later, drenched in sweat, Han Qiwu finally took down the Magma Slime.

He glanced down at his clothes, now visibly stiffened and crusty. With a resigned sigh, Han Qiwu thought he’d have to look into crafting some proper combat gear—his current outfit didn’t stand a chance against the various dangers found in the mines.

Fighting sure takes a toll on your attire.

[Lava]×1

[Lava]

[Usage: Material/Decoration]

[Notes: Lava boasts extremely high temperatures]

"Decoration??" Han Qiwu didn’t expect this item could be used for aesthetic purposes.

What, am I supposed to place it in my room for heating in winter? I’ll give it a shot when I get back.

As for the four Green Slimes—they didn’t waste their lives entirely. Using their own sacrifice, they gifted Han Qiwu [Moss]×1 and [Slime Mud]×2.

After collecting all the loot, Han Qiwu checked the time—it was already past 7:00 p.m.

Guess I better pick up the pace.

"Chink, chink, chink, chink."

Ten minutes of mining later, Han Qiwu successfully unearthed the staircase to the 35th floor.

[You have reached the 35th floor]

[Cable Car Level Recorded]

Sadly, this floor didn’t have any reward items either.

Unbothered, Han Qiwu pocketed his torch and turned to take the cable car out of the mines.

"Zip, zip, zip, zip."

A few minutes later, Han Qiwu arrived at the mine lobby.

Once outside the mine, Han Qiwu noticed the environment wasn’t all that different from the 30-odd floors he’d just left.

Pitch black.

He looked up—clouds covered the entire sky.

In this suffocating darkness, you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face no matter whether you reached out or pulled back.

Han Qiwu held a torch and searched for his electric scooter, flipping on the headlights.

"Wait a sec—tonight’s a moonless night, isn’t it?"

Han Qiwu suddenly remembered and decided he’d head over to the west of Water Buffalo Town to the osmanthus woods to find Wu Gang.

"2600 gold for a drink—Brother Gang, go easy on it, huh? When you’re done, make sure you know what’s what."

Following the map, Han Qiwu rode for over half an hour before finally arriving at the osmanthus woods.

Located in a remote spot, this forest didn’t show any signs of wheel tracks, let alone human presence.

"Wu Gang, Wu Gang, Wu Gang, Wu Gang, Wu Gang."

Han Qiwu cautiously held the Blood Demon Absinthe aloft and called Wu Gang’s name five times into the woods.

"Rustle, rustle."

A gust of wind swept through the forest, scattering Han Qiwu’s hopes.

"Where’s the man???"

Taking out his phone, Han Qiwu studied the information on the cryptic paper labeled "Six."

"Ugh, I have to recite it silently? What’s with all this ceremonial nonsense?" Han Qiwu reluctantly began mentally reciting the name five times.

After finishing the secret chant, the osmanthus woods still showed no changes. Another gust of wind blew past, chilling Han Qiwu’s heart.

"This cryptic paper better not be some prank!" Han Qiwu thought to himself in disbelief. If it was fake, he’d be totally ripped off.

gold, all for an eighty-plus-proof bottle of booze.

If Mrs. Han found out, she’d hang him out to dry.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."

Just then, the osmanthus tree nearest to Han Qiwu suddenly extended a long branch, stopping only when it reached him. The budding tip of the branch spiraled into the shape of a wine rack.

[Please place the qualifying liquor onto the tree branch]

"Oh, here we go!" Han Qiwu carefully rested [Blood Demon Absinthe] onto the wine rack and even gave the branch a reminder: "Take it slow, okay? This liquor’s expensive."

Osmanthus branch: "... Does talking to me change anything?"

As soon as Han Qiwu placed the bottle on the rack, the branch zipped back and disappeared into the darkness.

Han Qiwu: "???"

That’s it?

All done????

What about my reward?

[Wu Gang has received the liquor and is currently tasting it]

Alright then. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Han Qiwu parked himself on his scooter and waited.

Five minutes passed, and there was still no update.

"Wait a sec... A day in heaven is a year on earth—Brother Gang, don’t tell me you’re planning to sip this for a whole day?"
