Zach's bloodied figure turn and walk toward the direction of hideout and Tyler did the same thing.

"Wait!"

Tyler shouted.

"What?"

"Let's use that communication trinket to call the adventurers guild, we will earn much better this way"

"Okay"

Soon the adventurers come and apprehend the bandits and they were given twenty gold coins.

The two friends went back to the hideout, they hit based on a strange pattern and the door appears, they went in without hesitation.

"What in the world is going on here?"

The young man is taken aback by the scene before him.

"Did you visit the afterlife or something?"

He asked bwcause of seeing zach's bloodied figure.

"Take this, it is medium grade health potion, it will restore your health"

The young man that shows them the mission board threw a potion at Zach and Zach caught it and emptied the bottle in one gulp.

A comfortable feeling as he finished the health potion and a greenish aura covered his body healing all his wounds.

Tyler look in amazement, Zach himself is amazed at how this thing works, he feel rejuvenated and his body even become much more healthier.

"That's really incredible! Such magical properties"

"Where are our rewards?"

Zach's cold voice resounded from behind.

"Oh... Okay, follow me"

They walk through many different places before stoping in a place that reads 'Treasury', This is their destination .

Creak...

The large door is pushed open by the young man and soon their faces is illuminated by a yellow light.

Tyler's hearth almost jump out of fright and he rub his eyes to make sure this is not an illusion and he even pinch his arm and he felt the pain, meaning this is all real.

Zach is also similarly surprised but not so surprise Like Tyler.

In front of the, is something that can only be called as a mountain of gold, many gold coins are piled up together in a grand style.

"That is why I tell you that gold coins is not that useful to people with abilities?"

The young man puff out his chest in pride as he looks at the duo's surprised expression.

"Then what did the strong people use to trade?"

Tyler curiously asked.

"That is a good question, the strong people used mainly what we call energy crystal to trade. We can also use the exchange method"

The young man explained to Tyler.

"How did the exchange method work?"

This time Zach ask the question.

"I bring something of equal value to what you have, and then I will take your item by exchanging mine for yours"

"Hmm, so that is how it works" Zach said.

"Now go and explored the riches and chose something"

The young man said.

"Alright, Tyler let's go!"

The two friends took off in search of what suits them the best.

Zach kept on gazing on many types of equipment, most of them are rank E and a few rank D.

"Hey Zach I seems to find what suits me the best" Tyler came towards Zach with a bow and a quiver of arrows.

Zach is happy that Tyler has gotten what he needed and he is now back on concentrating on what equipment to choose.

He close his eyes and try to sense if their is something special to him, he always trust his gut feelings and instincts as they save him many times from danger.

"I will choose that"

Zach picked up a weapon that is thrown in a corner and hangs it on his back.

The sword does not have any names but Zach feel that something is off about this sword and he decided to choose it.

They choose their weapons and they soon came out of the treasure room, the door automatically close after they exited.

They kept walking but they seem to lost the way they came in here.

"Well, well, let's see what you choose"

When they needed him the most, the noisy young man appeared and starts talking.

"A bow made from an uncommon steel, this bow will be very strong and will last long"

"You got good eyes kid"

The young praised Tyler.

"Huh?"
