Chapter 24 The Romantic Moment of Adventure
The cheers of the arena were stopped by the bell of the hourglass.
The crystal hourglass in the sky turned into streamers of sand that meandered down.
The scattered puppet parts on the ground also turned into sand.
The shimmering sand slowly gathered in the middle of the field.
In the fog-covered arena stands, countless golden lights shot out from all directions, drawing golden trajectories in the air.
These golden lights gathered beside the grains of sand.
Kane waited quietly for the special effects to be completed. With such gorgeous effects, that thing must be something special.
The light in the middle of the arena gradually disappeared, revealing an iron treasure chest. There were piles of gold coins stacked around the treasure chest.
He made a fortune.
Kane came to the chest. The iron chest was tattooed with gorgeous patterns that emitted a faint blue light.
He took a deep breath. The treasure chest was the best reward for taking risks.
A bewitching exterior wrapping a besotted and unknowable secret.
He placed his hands on the treasure chest lid and lifted it.
The treasure chest instantly disappeared and was replaced by two glowing items.
One of them was a pair of shoes.
[High-jump cheat, version 0.6]

[Description: No worries in the high jump competition.)
The shoes were relatively useful equipment for Kane.
It allowed him to be a little more agile when swinging the spider silk.
The next item didn’t look like equipment.
It was a round mechanical ball.
(Assistant Robot-Sea-Land Air Version] [Smart Machinery]

???
This world is such a hodgepodge. What’s next? A cosmic warship?
So here’s the problem.
How could this thing be activated?
Kane held the ball and turned it from side to side, studying it for a long time.
Aye.
There’s a button here.
A press.
Kane pressed this button.
The sphere landed and began to crack. Blue light leaked from the cracks.
With a mechanical transformation, an antenna rose from the ball’s head.
A ball popped out from below, and a round camera-like object extended from its face.
The camera also blinked, and the antenna on its head curved into a hook.
No, not a hook. It seemed to mean a question mark.
The little thing looked quite unique.
Its single eye shot a light that swept Kane up and down.
The scan seemed to be complete. The ray disappeared and he turned a circle.
“Master, do you need to name me?”
He spoke!
What am I making a fuss about? Isn’t it reasonable for robots to talk?
Kane knelt down and said to the robot, “How do you know I’m your master?”
“I scanned you. It matches the first-authority person in my information bank.”
Two work claws like hands popped out on either side of him, and he held them up and shook them.
“When was the first-authority person determined?” This kind of information was strange and made one curious.
Although it was definitely the work of the mist, there was no harm in asking.
He scratched his head with one work claw and said, “It’s available from the factory. Master, the buyer fills in the information at the time of the reservation.”
How meticulous. What a mist.
“Then you’ll be called Youyou.”
“Okay, Youyou naming successful.”
With that, Youyou raised her claws and turned a circle.
This thing was quite rare.
Youyou suddenly said to Kane, “Master, is your shoulder okay?” Antenna 1?
It was fine if he didn’t say it, but it hurt again. “Quick, Youyou, help me put the gold coins in this bag.”
“Yes, Master,” Youyou slid the wheel, extended his arm, and began to pick up the coins.
When all the coins were in the bag, they fused together.
Five white coins that looked like jade appeared in the bag.
Kane picked one up and examined it closely. ‘Is this the Mist Grant?’
According to the Explorers’ Class Guide, one was equivalent to 1,000 gold.
Forget it, I should get out. My shoulder hurts.
As soon as Kane uttered the words, “to return,” he and Yoyo disappeared.
Returning to the entrance stone disc at the dungeon, he looked around. The number of people in the hall had significantly decreased.
Kane hurried toward the stone house above. Youyou followed his master, looking around.
One of the teams of explorers stared at the robot following Kane, with eyes wide-opened.
“Hey, hey, are my eyes playing tricks on me?” One of them elbowed his companion.
“You didn’t. We all saw it.”
“Turtle, there’s even such a thing. What lucky man?”
“Do you think there’s a possibility that he exploded in this dungeon?”
“Impossible.”
How is that possible?
“Are you stupid?”
Kane was completely oblivious to Youyou’s shock at some of those in the know.
It was already dark outside. It was already midnight.
He left the stone house and went straight to the hospital behind the office.
The hospital here was very small, only about two floors. It was the standard for every Mist Council office.
The nurse on duty spotted him the moment he entered the hospital.
The nurse on duty pressed a button beside her and jogged over to Kane.
She immediately saw the wound in Kane’s shoulder.
Kane was hauled into the emergency room by the nurse.
“How long has your shoulder been bleeding? Has the bleeding stopped?”
The nurse asked as they walked.
“No, this is a simple bandage. I used my ability to bandage it.” Is that so? The Explorer skill is really convenient. They arrived at the door marked ER and pushed it open.
The doctor inside had been waiting for a long
time.
Crispy Noodles. I mean Dr. Little Raccoon.
The doctor in front of him was the doctor Kane had seen when he was strolling around.
After sitting Kane down, he took a small stool and stood on it.
“Take the thing off your wound.” He immediately recognized the transparent package on Kane’s shoulder.
Hearing this, Kane immediately dispersed the transparent plasticine.
The moment the plasticine dissipated, the Little Raccoon placed his hand in the air above the wound.
The wound that should have been bleeding immediately remained motionless. Three golden threads appeared on his palm.
The gold filled Kane’s wound, woven into the original missing shape of the shoulder.
In a moment, the golden threads wove the missing pieces of flesh, but there were some hollows.
The Little Raccoon clapped his hand and said to Kane, “The missing part of your shoulder will grow back in three days. Don’t use your left hand for the next three days.”
“Thank you, Doctor,” Kane thanked him.
“You’re welcome. Remember to make payment at the entrance.” He jumped off the stool and left the emergency room.
Kane dressed and returned to where the nurse had just been on duty.
He saw the nurse and asked, “How much is the medical fee this time?”
The nurse looked up at Kane and then lowered her head to write something. Without looking up, she said, “Five gold coins. Just put it on top.”
Reluctantly, Kane took out five gold coins and left the hospital.
He wanted to get to know Crispy Noodles.
