nThe catacomb fell into darkness.

n

n

nKlein lay on the ground, his hands and feet cold.

n

n

nEven in the runic base, people couldn’t withstand the cold of the night.

n

n

nFortunately, Klein ate well and his body was full of energy.

n

n

nAs for those who were hungry without food, it was hard to imagine how miserable they would be.

n

n

nFrom time to time, Klein would check the catacombs in a few directions.

n

n

nHe hoped that there would be some changes in the notifications.

n

n

nFor example, that there would be a notification that the crypt creature had left.

n

n

nHowever, what he had hoped for didn’t happen.

n

n

nThe crypt creatures had never left the catacombs.

n

n

nKlein couldn’t help but suspect that his previous guess was wrong.

n

n

nCan’t this thing leave?

n

n

nIt’s a little like the monsters in the game. Could it be that it would always stay in one map and not have to eat or drink?

n

n

nKlein couldn’t help but retort.

n

n

nHe still wanted to steal from the crypt creatures, but it seemed like he had to give up on the idea.

n

n

n‘Everyone should be hungry by now,’ Klein guessed in his heart.

n

n

nHe had eaten a loaf of bread two hours ago, and he wasn’t even half full.

n

n

nThere was no need to say anything about those unlucky people who didn’t manage to dig up any food.

n

n

nHe said, “Hang a loaf of bread on it now.”

n

n

nThe corners of Klein’s mouth curled up.

n

n

nWith a bunch of people starving, the bread must be even more tempting.

n

n

nA moment later.

n

n

nIn the trading channel.

n

n

nSeller: Klein

n

n

nItem: 400g Wheat Bread

n

n

nRequirement: 1 Water Rune

n

n

nInventory: 1

n

n

nWith that, he had already hung up two items.

n

n

nDuring the day, no one had come to trade for 400ml of mineral water.

n

n

nIn the chat channel.

n

n

nMany people couldn’t sleep, and they didn’t have any entertainment items, so they could only chat.

n

n

n“F**k, Big Brother Klein hung up his supplies again.”

n

n

n“I saw it. It’s a loaf of bread! I’m so hungry. Sob, sob, sob, can Lord Klein give a loaf of bread to a girl for free?”

n

n

n“Darn Americans, hanging up at a time like this!”

n

n

n“He wants runes again. What exactly is this? Does anyone know?”

n

n

n“If I have runes, I’ll change them first. Sigh, it’s more important to fill my stomach.”

n

n

nWhen everyone realized that it was Klein again, they were filled with envy and resentment.

n

n

nGod knows how lucky Klein was to have extra food and water.

n

n

nThey didn’t even have what he wanted!

n

n

nKlein was once again privately messaged by many people.

n

n

nThis time, a group of people scolded him for being unsympathetic and even for moral kidnapping.

n

n

nKlein completely ignored them.

n

n

nHe thought that he wouldn’t gain anything tonight.

n

n

nFive minutes later, a dialog box automatically popped up on the interface.

n

n

nIn the private message channel, a filtering function could be set.

n

n

nKlein set fire and water runes as the keywords.

n

n

nOnce it was triggered, the dialog box would pop up.

n

n

nAlice said, “I have water runes. If you are willing to use five pieces of bread, I can make a deal with you.”

n

n

nThe portrait was of a pretty girl. She had a good appearance and a good temperament.

n

n

nKlein raised his eyebrows and smiled.

n

n

nFinally, a buyer had come to his door.

n

n

nAlice smiled and said, “Asking for five pieces of bread at once? Heh heh, is that too much?”

n

n

nKlein shook his head and replied to Alice.

n

n

nKlein said, “You should know that food is very precious at the moment. In the market, I’m the only one who sells it. Aren’t you being too insincere by asking for five pieces at once?”

n

n

nAlice: Is three pieces okay?

n

n

nKlein: Don’t even think about it! I only have one piece left. If you don’t want it, I’ll eat it tomorrow.

n

n

nAlice: Then wait a moment. I’ll think about it.

n

n

nTwo minutes later.

n

n

nSystem notification: 400g Wheat Bread transaction completed. Water Rune 1

n

n

nKlein checked the transaction record. Sure enough, Alice had used the water rune to exchange for it.

n

n

nA piece of wheat bread in front of him vanished into thin air.

n

n

nAt the same time, a wooden fragment landed in front of Klein.

n

n

nThe material was unknown.

n

n

nThere were waves on the surface.

n

n

nA pale blue fluorescence lingered around it.

n

n

nWater Rune: The selenium runes in the catacombs world are in doubt. They contain a mysterious power and have a wide range of uses.

n

n

nKlein held it in his hand and felt a chill.

n

n

nHe tossed and turned it, but he couldn’t figure out the material.

n

n

nFurthermore, the runes couldn’t be decomposed.

n

n

n‘With the water rune, I’m missing a fire rune.’

n

n

nKlein thought of this and hurriedly went to the trading channel to change the conditions for the 400ml of mineral water.

n

n

nHe would only use fire runes to trade for it.

n

n

nIn the second half of the night, no one came to trade again.

n

n

n..

n

n

nIt was daybreak.

n

n

nThe number of excavations had been restored to ten. He would head to the sixth catacomb today.

n

n

nKlein muttered to himself as he put away the runic base.

n

n

nAt that moment, he focused his attention on observing the cave on the right.

n

n

nShh! It has just fallen asleep. Now is not the time to attack.

n

n

nKlein was in no hurry.

n

n

nHe first drank some water and ate some bread.

n

n

nAn hour later, he checked again.

n

n

nDigging to the right is not bad. The one-eyed lizard is sleeping soundly. After entering, charge forward. With your short spear proficiency, when it opens its eyes, you can poke it blind. This will be a great harvest.

n

n

nAs expected!

n

n

nThe proficiency of the short spear was sufficient.

n

n

nKlein took a deep breath and took out his shovel.

n

n

nHe dug out a tunnel first!

n

n

nThe two catacombs were separated by an unknown number of meters.

n

n

nHe wanted to dig out a large tunnel and adjust his condition before charging forward.

n

n

nA black hole appeared at a full twenty meters.

n

n

nTo be on the safe side, Klein chose to watch again.

n

n

nThe golden prompt didn’t change.

n

n

nThe one-eyed lizard was still sleeping soundly.

n

n

nThe black hole completely blocked the sound of digging.

n

n

nKlein retreated back into the cave.

n

n

nHe put away the shovel and sat down to rest.

n

n

nHe had almost recovered his strength, so he got up and did some warm-up exercises.

n

n

nEverything was ready.

n

n

nHe adjusted his state of mind.

n

n

nHe gripped the short spear tightly.

n

n

nCharge!

n

n

nKlein was unprecedentedly calm.

n

n

nWhen he passed through the black hole, as expected, four meters away, a lizard creature that was nearly one and a half meters long was sleeping soundly.

n

n

nIts face was ferocious and its whole body was green.

n

n

nIt was a one-eyed lizard.

n

n
