"A total of 356 [transparent colloid]."
[Please confirm that all of them are here.]"
..
6 PM.
In the Hero Association's administrative hall.
Caroline looked at the [Trade] interface that appeared in front of her with a dazed expression.
Lu Qingge, who was sitting opposite her, was a little confused.
He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Caroline.
"Miss Caroline? Was my voice too soft? Did you hear what I said?"
Caroline came back to her senses.
It was obvious.
This wasn't the first time she had given Lu Qingge a mission related to [Slime].
Logically speaking, she was already used to things like this.
However, this time, for some reason, she felt that Lu Qingge was different from before.
It wasn't because of Lu Qingge's achievements.
There was a strange [Ruthless Lumberjack].
It was because Lu Qingge seemed to have an unusual aura around him today.
It was like-
It was like electricity.
Similarly.
She did not know if it was her imagination but Caroline felt that when she looked at Lu Qingge, the other party's eyes seemed to be unconsciously emitting electricity.
"It's really strange…"
Caroline muttered in her heart.
After all, this wasn't the first time she had experienced this feeling of being electrocuted.
It was two years ago.
When a male mage who was proficient in lightning magic did a business here, she had experienced a similar feeling.
However, if this feeling had happened because of Lu Qingge…
That was very unreasonable and could even be said to be strange.
"Alright."
"Please wait a moment."
Caroline began to count the materials for Lu Qingge.
Well...
As expected.
This time, Lu Qingge handed in more [transparent colloid] than before.
And this time, the time to hand in the mission was earlier than before.
In other words, this strange fellow had never leveled up.
But his strength, in fact, was constantly increasing.
And it could be clearly seen.
It could even be said that he was getting stronger day by day.
"Could it be…"
Caroline couldn't help but think, 'Did I really wrong him before?'
Although this guy looked like a completely salted fish, he was still very calm.
But in fact, he seemed to be working hard.
Not only was he hardworking, but he was also humble, low-key, and polite.
It was not as unbearable as the outside world said.
Caroline's thoughts were a bit chaotic.
She felt that this person was not weak.
Moreover, he did not seem to be as simple as she had imagined…
"Thank you, Miss Caroline!"
"See you tomorrow!"
After completing the mission, Lu Qingge smiled politely again and left.
And it was also within her expectations.
Early the next morning, Caroline saw Lu Qingge again.
And it was the same as every time before. He was still the first to arrive and the player who got ticket number 1.
"Good morning, Miss Caroline."
"I've thought about it." "According to your proposal, I would like to accept the F-1 bounty mission."
In order to save time, Lu Qingge went straight to the point.
'Has he finally come to his senses? This fellow…'
Caroline heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Alright."
That was great.
This was indeed something to be happy about.
After enduring for so many days, she finally did not have to worry about the complaint letter anymore…
Hence, very quickly.
Lu Qingge accepted the F-1 mission.
After that, he accepted a few normal quests that required [Goblin Hand Bone].
"Please take care of your belongings and take care!"
"Good luck to you!"
Caroline waved her hand and sent Lu Qingge off with a smile.
"Senior, you seem to be in a good mood."
Mona noticed that Caroline was full of energy and seemed very happy.
She couldn't help but feel gratified and thought to herself, 'It seems like… you have finally gotten rid of the nightmare, Lu Qingge."

[ Bounty Mission: F-1]
[Details: Collect an Exquisite Shell Pendant.]
[ Mission Time Limit: Seven days.]
[Hint: Exquisite Shell Pendant, dropped by the wild monster "Goblin".]
He looked at the details of his mission.
Lu Qingge walked all the way to the front camp of the Gran Forest.
"Looks like the situation this time is different from the past."
Lu Qingge thought.
He had just clicked on [Exquisite Shell Pendant] when he realized that this material was a [Rare] grade item.
He logged into the World Forum and searched for related content.
Then Lu Qingge found out that although this [Exquisite Shell Pendant] was only a drop from a low-level creature like the Goblin, in the novice village, it was a material with a relatively low drop rate.
According to the players on the World Forum, many of them had killed hundreds or thousands of Goblins in the Novice Village.
Only then did a [Exquisite Shell Pendant] drop.
But of course, Lu Qingge couldn't guarantee that these rumors on the forum were true.
After all, the world forum's degree of access was closely related to the players' degree of exploration of the world map.
Without unlocking the map area, the players would not be able to obtain the information of the area.
For example.
On Lu Qingge's World Forum the information that could be seen was only limited to the content posted by players in Gran Town.
However, Lu Qingge was certain of one thing.
As the saying goes, the rarer a thing is, the more valuable it is.
Otherwise, this [Exquisite Shell Pendant]… would not be classified as a [Rare] item.
In the world of the Sacred Soul, the rarity grade of items, from low to high, was divided into:
White - Common, Blue - Uncommon, Green - Advanced, Purple - Rare, Green - Treasure, Yellow - Legendary, Orange - Epic, Red - Ancient, and Golden - Mythical.
In a place like the Novice Village, white-grade items could be seen everywhere.
It was already a very good existence to be able to see the blue grade, let alone the green grade.
Therefore, not only did the association give a high reward and merit points for this material, the prices were not low in the major trading markets of the novice village.
However, what was interesting was…
[Exquisite Shell Pendant].
There was nothing valuable about this material.
It was just an ordinary item that a small number of Goblin soldiers would wear.
The real reason why it was valuable was that it could be used by the local Hero Association to increase their annual or seasonal KPIs.
Because in a small place like Gran Town, every year, they would receive mission indicators from the empire.
For example, which season or year...
How many players who had passed the [Hero Trial] had to be sent to the Empire?
How many levels did the average person have to reach?
The [Storage Cellar] of the association had to have a lot of materials stored.
There were all kinds of indicators, big or small, simple or headache-inducing.
As for the [Exquisite Shell Pendant]…
It was one of them.
It was one of the most difficult targets.
