Paa!
I stuck my staff directly into the excrement and made an effort to pick up the frozen excrement to carry back to the camp. The camp was extremely simple only consisting of a tent that could barely contain Dalin. I had to stand outside by the bonfire!
Next to our camp was a huge pit where we threw the excrement. I flicked my staff through the air and the excrement looked magnificent as it entered the pit.
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations, you have successfully cleaned up debris and obtained 900 points of experience.
……
Very unexpectedly I also gained experience by doing this? I couldn’t help but laugh, the experience was almost as good as hunting monsters. The only downside was that there was no chance of dropping equipment or illustration cards.
I kept walking back and forth between the excrement and the pit together with Dalin. This area belonged to Dragon City’s territory and since it was more than an hour’s walk from any major city with extremely high-leveled monsters, normal players would never venture here. This meant that I was alone in doing these humiliating tasks.
As I continued to move the excrement, I quickly got to 27% experience. I was striving to reach level 30 today. Then I would be able to wield Jade City Sword and Silver Locked Battle Boots, which would dramatically increase my strength.
……
Rustle….
On the way uphill, Dalin quickly raised his arm in sign for me to stop and quietly said: “Kid, stop.”
I narrowed my eyes as I looked around: “What’s going on?”
“A jackpot’s coming!”
“Oh?”
The soil suddenly parted and a chubby head emerged. It looked a lot like an insect and a moment later my theory was confirmed, as the entire insect climbed out of the hole. It looked and moved like a sea cucumber. Its status displayed “Ginseng Earthworm” and its rank was unclear, which meant it was at least level 35.
“I am truly lucky today.”
The Beast Tamer Dalin was almost drooling while looking at it: “Kid, this Ginseng Earthworm is very high quality food. Within Tian Ling Empire a pound of its flesh can be sold for a hundred gold coins because of its rare taste and abundance of nutrition. In addition, it’s one of the best foods to fight against the cold. Such a big Ginseng Earthworm can feed the entirety of Dragon City for a week.”
He firmly gripped his chains while staring at the mouthwatering Ginseng Earthworm. With a quick flourish, he pulled out some dried fish from his backpack: “Ginseng Earthworms have a fancy for fish, so I will lure it over here. You circle around it and ambush it, but be careful to not let it escape down into the hole. Once it’s down in the earth it’s as agile as a fish in the water and impossible to catch.”
I nodded as I raised my staff and called Baby Bobo to circle around the worm.
