Traceless stared at the mission completion notification for a few moments before finally looking at the rewards.The 1,500 Experience Points were already quite attractive...He was just at 91% Experience Points a while ago, but he was now at 99%, only a short distance away from reaching Level 10..."Almost there..."After spending three days traveling with the caravan and fighting several powerful Horned Ironhide Beasts, he felt that this mission had been worth accepting.However, there was something else that immediately caught his attention.The Rare Item Chest.’Let’s see what I can get.’Traceless immediately opened his inventory and found the chest sitting quietly among his other items. It had a dark metallic appearance with faint blue patterns running across its surface, and although he knew that it was merely an item from a game, the chest still gave him a feeling of anticipation.After all, this was a Rare Item Chest.He had no idea what kind of reward could come out of it.’P

The situation surrounding Max’s Shop gradually became more complicated as its reputation continued to spread throughout Blackreach City.At first, Farrah had thought that having more customers would only make her work more difficult, but she soon realized that the problem was not the number of people coming into the shop. The real problem was that other people had started paying attention to the business as well.Max’s Shop had originally been nothing more than a small store operating in a rented space belonging to the Aries Faction.Because of its location, the shop had already enjoyed a certain degree of protection, but nobody had expected it to become this popular.The products were simply too useful.Every time Farrah managed to introduce a new item, people would quickly spread the information to their friends, and before long, more survivors would arrive to see whether they could purchase the same thing.Some customers were only interested in food, while others came specifically

"I’m simply curious. Apparently, some products in our vault had been missing..."Farrah’s expression didn’t change as he heard these words from the young man.However, she immediately understood what the man was implying.The atmosphere inside the shop had already become noticeably quieter. Several customers who had been browsing the shelves were now pretending to examine the products in front of them, although it was obvious that they were listening to the conversation.Farrah calmly placed the item in her hands back onto the counter."Are you saying that we stole something from your faction?"The young man’s smile widened slightly."I didn’t say that.""Then what exactly are you saying?"The man’s smile slowly faded.He had probably expected Farrah to become nervous after hearing his accusation, but her reaction was completely different from what he had anticipated. She wasn’t angry, and she wasn’t frightened either. Instead, she simply looked at him with an expression that seemed a

The elders of the Cancer Faction eventually decided that there was no point in continuing their investigation from a distance.If they couldn't discover where Max's Shop was obtaining its endless supply of products, then they would simply have to capture Max himself and force him to reveal the truth."How many people should we send?"One of the elders asked."Five should be enough."Another elder replied after a moment of consideration."Everyone must be at least Level 60."Temet, who was standing nearby, immediately understood their reasoning. There was no need to mobilize a large force against someone who had yet to reach Level 40, especially when the Cancer Faction had several Level 60 survivors who could easily handle someone of Max's supposed strength.As for Level 70 survivors, the elders weren't willing to mobilize them for such a simple operation, while the handful of Level 80 experts within the faction were even more precious. Moving someone of that level required considerabl

Aya felt a familiar warmth spread throughout her body.Spirit Energy circulated through her meridians more smoothly than before, while her physical strength increased ever so slightly.It wasn’t a dramatic transformation.The improvement was subtle.But she had experienced it enough times to recognize it immediately.Well, the richer the spirit became... the stronger she became as well.Aya looked at the invisible figure with curiosity."You really are Greed..."The spirit remained silent for several seconds.Then another quiet laugh echoed inside her mind."Names are merely labels created by mortals. Call me whatever you wish. As long as you continue gathering wealth... I shall continue making you stronger."Aya shook her head helplessly before turning toward Xander and Kobe."Let’s continue searching."She glanced once more at the now-empty storage room before smiling to herself.If even one forgotten shelter could hide resources like these...Then perhaps the wasteland still contai
