<h4>Chapter 72: End, Business</h4>

    “This… There’s such a good thing?”


    Zhou Chen, who was moving away from the Gluttony House, was very surprised. In fact, he had only killed these strange monsters out of disgust and convenience. He had never thought of obtaining any rewards, but he had unexpectedlypleted a hidden mission.


    “My luck is good. Let me see what effect this Holy Light skill has.”


    Zhou Chen quickly took out the Holy Light skill scroll from his inventory and checked.


    [Holy Light Skill Scroll


    Type: Low bronze scroll


    After using this scroll, you will obtain the active skill: Holy Light (Low Bronze).


    Holy Light (Low Bronze): Consumes your spiritual energy to create a light ball in front of your palm and shoot out Holy Light.


    This Holy Light has the ability to instakill low bronze-ranked spirit bodies, undead, and other unholy creatures. It can cause great damage to mid bronze-ranked creatures and restrain high bronze-ranked creatures. In addition, it can also be used to treat light injuries.


    Note: With your current 2.1 spirit attribute as the benchmark, you can use the Holy Light skill for up to twenty minutes a day. Otherwise, it might harm your body.]


    “Exorcism plus healing… Not a bad skill, but it doesn’t seem to be useful against people.”


    Zhou Chen felt that this holy light skill was pretty good and immediately tore the scroll apart to learn it. Soon, he felt a gentle energy infuse into his body, making his exhausted body feel warm.


    “Holy Light!”


    Zhou Chen extended his palm and willed it: he saw a dazzling white ball of light quickly form ten centimeters above his palm. The core of this ball of light was only the size of an egg, but the light it emitted could not be underestimated. If someone stared at the light, their eyes would easily go blind.


    “This… feels like the?sphere¹?that a ninja anime’s main character used. But this one of mine has strong lighting effects.”


    After a simple test of the newly obtained Holy Light ability, Zhou Chen stopped because he realized that the consumption of this skill was quite high, making his already tired spirit feel exhausted.


    “Forget it, I’ll just leave now.”


    After realizing that his condition was not too good, Zhou Chen decided to stop the search for the treasure chests and immediately finish the mission.


    In any case, his gains in this Survival mission were pretty good. Moreover, he had not found any treasure chests after searching for so long, so spending more time would probably be useless.


    About an hourter, Zhou Chen returned to the Teleportation Formation and walked in.


    His journey back to the Teleportation Formation was not smooth. He encountered many stone monsters and relied on the ax’s high damage and the high mobility of the Windrun skill to escape.


    After stepping into the Teleportation Formation, Zhou Chen’s figure disappeared from the underground square and returned to the sofa in the living room of his room.


    [You havepleted the Survival mission. Reward: 1 Physique Scroll (Low Bronze), 1 Gold Coin (Low Bronze), 1 White Bread (Low Bronze)]


    “Physique Scroll is okay, but isn’t the gold coin and bread too perfunctory?”


    Zhou Chen was speechless about this Survival mission reward. He had been lucky enough to obtain the Physique Scroll, which was thought to be the most valuable in the forum, among the fixed attribute scrolls. However, what was up with the other two random rewards? The white bread could at least be used as food, but what was the use of a gold coin? Could he take it out to sell as a collector’s item?


    Zhou Chen took out the physique scroll from his inventory and quickly used it. Then, he opened his character interface to check.


    [Name: Zhou Chen

    Comprehensive Evaluation: Mid Bronze]


    After confirming that everything was normal on the interface, he took out the bottle cap-sized gold coin to check.


    The gold coin was exquisite. On one side was a middle-aged man’s portrait, and on the other was a pattern of flowers surrounding a sword and shield. It looked like ancient European style.


    ‘This system really made the coin like it is still in use…’


    Zhou Chen ridiculed inwardly and returned the gold coin to the inventory space.


    “Time for business.”


    After checking the rewards, Zhou Chen opened the system friend list and began to search.


    The long-haired girl’s nickname was “Breeze of Dawn.” After entering the name, he realized that there were not many Survivors with this nickname, so he began to check their remarks column to confirm.


    However, before he could find the girl, he received a system notification. Someone had added him. The nickname was “Breeze of Dawn.”


    “Was she waiting? No, only an instant would have passed in the real world. She actually didn’t wait long.”


    Zhou Chen nced at the remarks column of the person and confirmed that it was the secret code they had agreed on. He epted her friend request.


    [Breeze of Dawn: If you’re sure about selling the copy of the book, please contact me.]


    “She wants this book so much? Could this thing actually be very valuable?”


    Zhou Chen thought for a moment and immediately replied:


    [Star: I’ll give you a reply by tonight.]


    The girl quickly replied with an OK emoji.


    Zhou Chen closed the friend list and began to search for the book, “Stone Puppet Study” in the Trading area. Then, he quickly realized that there were indeed people selling this, but there was only one seller. The price was also very high, ten million Dragon Country bills.


    “This thing is worth ten million? Nonsense, but this person is selling the original…”


    Zhou Chen looked at the time when this person had put the book on sale and realized that it had been almost half a month. There were several records of price reduction. The starting price was twenty million.


    He then searched for relevant information on the forum.


    First, he searched for the words ‘Stone Puppet Study’, but it got no results. There were only a few discussions regarding the stone puppet.


    “Looks like the production of this book is very low. There should only be a few ordinary Survivors who have it.”


    Zhou Chen thought to himself.


    Then, he searched for books and articles on supernatural and superpowers. He found more information. Among them, there were many martial arts books with names like”Tiger Fist”and”Strength Palm”. The articles mentioned that the Administration was promoting these martial arts recently.


    [The Dragon Country Survivor Administration has been buying all kinds of books on supernatural and superpowers for a long time. Those who are interested in trading, please contact us…]


    “The Administration is indeed collecting such books, but”Stone Puppet Study”is in the Trading area. Why didn’t they buy it? Do they already have it or do they think it’s too expensive?”


    Zhou Chen looked at the announcement from the Administration and thought that the reason was most likely the former.
