Chapter 327 Chapter 327: Krome Underground
Since Rezen still insisted on accepting these missions in Krome Underground, the staff didn't try to dissuade him again. He only gave a bit of advice as he felt that it was a pity if Rezen dies
However, since he was this confident, what more can the staff do? All the students in Tryst Academy are more or less geniuses in the outer walls. They naturally have their own pride and if the staff insist on trying to stop Rezen, that might just incur the latter's wrath
As such, the staff handled the procedure and recorded the mission acceptance using Rezen's student token before returning it to him. The staff also gave Rezen another token while saying "Just imbue this token with a bit of your mana. It will automatically record the number of contaminated spiders that you kill. Even a wisp of mana will enable it to work for a whole day. Don't forget to activate it! Only when the token is activated will your kills be counted!"
Spatial storage is not something that normal people can possess. Even many students in Tryst Academy don't possess one. As such, it was foolish to expect the students to take back the corpses of the magic beasts they killed as proof of their achievements
That is why, this token was created and issued so that even if the students leave the corpses behind, their kills would still be counted. Of course, if the students want to take the carcasses to sell, they are more than free to do so but just how many corpses can they take at once? Even if they return, the bodies of the magic beasts they killed might have long since been eaten by other magic beasts. The token simply made their life easier
After accepting the mission, Rezen also received general knowledge of Krome Underground and the contaminated spiders that he can access using his student tolen. Once he got everything he needed, he didn't waste any time to head off to the resource point
Fortunately, Tryst Academy owns many magic shuttles and Rezen rode on one so that he can reach his destination
——
Krome Underground
"This entrance is well-built!" Rezen commented with a nod as he stared at the stairs leading underground
This is the entrance to Krome Underground which was the lair of the contaminated spiders and contains a large amount of contaminated stones
With the thought of all the riches he could get below, Rezen's heart can't help but skip a beat. If he were to upgrade his farm up to the 5th or even 6th cycle, with the plethora of spirit plants it can grow, perhaps, Rezen wouldn't even need to be afraid of high-level Junior Mages
Since the Krome underground is an unpopular resource point, not many students were around and once Rezen'w identity was verified, he could simply enter the resource point at his leisure n(-0vElbIn
Of course, Rezen wouldn't waste time as the academy only gave the students a few days off before the second semester starts
Rezen started walking down the stairs which were pretty well lit up. At the very least, while Rezen is still walking down the stairs, he doesn't need to worry about low visibility
Of course, this didn't make Rezen much surprised since he already read the general information of the Krome Underground and he knew that there were numerous of such spiders
It was not even rare to encounter hundreds to thousands of them at once especially since this resource point is unpopular. Not many people come here and with fewer people, the less contaminated spiders will die, causing their population to slowly increase over time
However, this group of three dozen contaminated spiders only have 2nd cycle magic beasts as the strongest combatants. To a 4th cycle deviant mages like Rezen, it was very simple to kill them
With a wave of Rezen's hand, a yellow wave traveled in the air and collided with the contaminated spiders. The scent of burnt flesh immediately wafted in the air causing Rezen to frown
"It seems like I need to use other attributes of magic. The smell is really bad" Rezen muttered as he also collected the bodies of this batch for his farm to absorb
Among all the attributes of magic, Rezen is most skillful with sun-type magic. However, in such an environment, it might not be wise to use that kind of magic
As Rezen is already some distance away from the entrance, after killing the contaminated spiders and having the farm absorb their bodies, he turned his attention on the contaminated stones around
The contaminated stones are covered by stones and only some of them are sticking out. However, once the stones were removed, it would definitely reveal more contaminated stones
Fortunately, the normal stones that covered the contaminated stones are just your normal stones. Even simple magic can easily manipulate the stones
As such, the stones moved and they seemingly retreated from the more precious contaminated stones, revealing dozens of stones inside
These stones are Rezen's ticket into upgrading his farm and he immediately had the farm absorb them. As the farm's master, Rezen can sense the changes on the farm causing his face to frown
"Ivy!" He called out and the fairy's voice entered his mind
"Yes, master?"
"Why do these contaminated stones give so little progress to the farm?" Rezen asked
He naturally already had the farm absorb normal mana stones in the past and he can sense that the contaminated stones give less progress compared to normal mana stones
"This is because the farm's level is still too low. It cannot 'fully processed' the contaminants inside the contaminated stones and can only store it to make poison-type spirit plants easier to grow with improved quality. Not to mention, these contaminants seems a little special. As for the specifics, master has to discover it himself" Ivy answered
In a sense, the contaminated stones are almost the same as normal mana stones except that it was contaminated causing the amount of usable energy to significantly lessen
