Chapter 225: Chapter 166: Why hasn’t he come yet?

Rod’s expression almost solidified. Was it really a lily that could spray water?

Okay, it was me thinking off on a tangent. I apologize; I’m really not the purest person... I need to throw these useless thoughts aside as I have to return to the Dream Realm to enhance my stars.

This is the most important task; the movement of life can be done at any time.

Afterwards, Ado briefly introduced the lily, which was an accidental product of the Life Sect. They messed up the Element in the process of restoring species and created a batch of lilies that could spray water.

Although they possess good spirituality, they are unable to reproduce and can only be treated as a failed product.

She obtained this lily through an accidental factor.

So, this might be the last lily in the world that could spray water, which she really liked and treasured at home, never showing it to others.

Rod was the first man to see her spraying lily.

What an honor.

Rod twitched the corner of his mouth.

Then, the girl made her request as expected.

"So, Soron brother, there are still one hundred and twenty-six sewer tasks tomorrow. Can you help me complete them, please?"

In the dim light, the young girl’s big eyes brimmed with soft light; her cute face was filled with a pleading expression.

What else could Rod do besides nod?

"Yay, I knew Soron brother is the best."

The girl pounced on him, gave him a fragrant kiss, then sniggered and ran away.

"I’m going to take a bath; no peeking."

Rod tugged at the corner of his mouth. Go ahead and bathe; it’s like kindergarten transport, I’m not getting on.

"Ado, it’s late. Can I stay the night here?"

"Sure, and you can’t refuse when I need a place to stay later, brother."

"Hmm, where is the guest room?"

The voice from the bathroom paused before answering, "Downstairs."

"Okay, I’m heading down now. More than a hundred tasks are quite tiring; I need a good rest... Ado, I really don’t understand, how do the sewer tasks keep increasing?"

"Previously, nobody did the sewer tasks, so many issued by headquarters were overdue; the Royal City has always complained about this. Now that someone has cleared them, the old man is assigning more and more..."

The old man, Jahan, was the chief of the Hunter Group, rumored to have once been a top-notch, suave hunter. However, he had now become a bald and sleazy old man, sitting in headquarters every day, scheming how to assign more tasks to hunters.

The Hunter branch Ado belonged to was a newly discovered hotspot for sewer tasks.

Rod was quite upset. So, am I the only one cleaning the entire Royal City Sewer?

If I were gone one day, would you all stop pooping?

But he had no other choice, the first day he used the big moves "Spiritual Power Fifth Layer Melody" and "Awakening," meaning for the next two days he was in a low Spiritual Energy state.

He could only engage in low-energy activities.

So, cleaning the sewer was the only option.

The Spirit Gun had very low consumption, but relative to the Spiritual Energy it used, its power was immense. With the gun, Rod made a round in the sewer, often ending up with more Spiritual Energy than he started with.

The tasks even had income, not much, but when over a hundred of them were stacked up, it added up to quite a bit.

Moreover, the creatures in the sewer were weak, but every little bit adds up.

Souls Without Spirit are also very important basic materials.

Early enhancements of the stars depended entirely on them, and many items also required them for making.

Sigh.

It seems I can’t get rid of the sewer tasks anytime soon.

"I’m heading down now."

"...Hmm."

"Sigh, your door wasn’t closed properly. There’s a gap that I can see through... Ado, you should drink more milk."

Crack.

Rod helped her close the door properly and went downstairs.

The guest room was simply decorated but clean and tidy. Rod took off his jacket, got into bed, and entered the Dream Realm.

Dream World.

In the light haze, seven fist-sized Soul Fires floated on the Soul Altar.

Around them were densely packed sparks, all weak souls from the sewer.

Any single soul from a Fierce Level creature was bigger than all of these put together.

The disparity in gains was obvious.

Rod approached the Soul Altar and took a look.

One "Soul of the Fog Demon," three "Souls of the Abyssal Demon," three "Souls of the Dark Giant Snake."

He focused on the souls of the Dark Giant Snake, and text emerged from the black Soul Fire.

"Soul of the Dark Giant Snake"

"Strong Soul"

"The Dark Giant Snake, born from the Abyss Attribute, is an Abnormal Demon, but the shattered Abyss has significantly weakened its power."

The description matched that of the Abyssal Demon, indicating they were from the same family of Abnormal Demons, both Abyssal Creatures.

In the Royal City, hunting Abnormal Demons within the Safe Zone was a task on the long-term bounty list.

Killing any Abnormal Demon would earn a reward from the Royal City, typically ranging from four thousand to six thousand silver coins.

Just these six Abnormal Demons brought Rod an income of thirty thousand silver coins.

This was a significant sum; ordinary people couldn’t even dream of encountering so many Abnormal Demons.

Haha, Mephit is awesome.

Rod, holding the seven souls, approached the Obelisk and placed a hand on its surface.

The night sky appeared, with four stars shining bright in the darkness.

The brightest of them, "Justice Execution," had a Strength of 1750, several times the sum of all other stars.

Rod directly infused a soul into the star, and "Justice Execution" blazed brightly, its Strength soaring to 1999.
