Chapter 377: Chapter 266 Sun Crystal

Rod was disappointed.

After finally having a chance to showcase his genuine hard power in defeating the enemy with his own bravery and handsomeness, this is the kind of stuff you drop?

Soul Without Spirit is a basic resource, and although very important, Rod had already obtained too many during the cleanup of Star Town.

What he currently lacked were not Souls Without Spirit, but rather powerful Complete Souls, Divinity, and Source.

And this monster didn’t have any of those.

330,000 souls might not be negligible, but that’s just the soul count of a little over 300 Fierce Level monsters, and with the current military force of Star Town, just one day is needed to acquire them if they find a monster hotspot.

Forget it.

Though the gains were modest, at least he had shown off his mighty and manly image.

He was definitely going to be more popular with the ladies when he got back.

Hahaha.

With a big smile on his face, Rod returned to Star Town and indeed received a warm welcome.

However, when he tried to hug a girl as an excuse to celebrate Victory, she ran away.

What, didn’t you see how suave I was just now?

Rod found it unbelievable.

That perfect action, unbeatable strength, and charm beyond imagination displayed by his abilities, didn’t all of you care about it?

Rod tried approaching another girl, and she too ran away with a giggle.

No way?

What’s worse, Rod unexpectedly found that in the following period, not just one girl but all girls maintained a certain distance from him.

Even very close girls like Anna and Vivian were no exception.

Alor directly warned him, "Little Rod, take a bath for ten days before you touch me."

Only Molly accepted his hug and did not smack away his somewhat restless hand.

However, although Molly was beautiful and charming, she looked too serious, so Rod didn’t dare make a further move and quickly let go of her after a little caress.

Despite the unpleasantness, it was still a victorious day.

Vivian, who paid special attention to the spirit of defense, quickly spread the good news throughout Star Town.

She announced to everyone that their lord, the Defender, the superstar of Trolian, Lord Rod, had once again achieved a complete victory by killing the strong monster that attacked the town.

In the announcement, Vivian highlighted Rod’s amazing strength and the elegance with which he used firearms, deliberately downplaying his butterfly swimming in the cesspool, and mainly emphasized the degree of threat the monster posed inside the Royal City and the fact that Rod killed it alone.

As a result, Rod gained a substantial amount of Humanity, not only making up for the losses but even earning a profit.

But something just didn’t sit right with him.

"Vivian, there’s no need for such publicity, is there..."

Vivian seriously said, "Lord Rod, it is very necessary. The stability of the people’s hearts in the defense area is extremely important. Although we have been victorious, the public does not think there are too many such victories,"

As she spoke, she subtly moved her desk a little further away.

"Remember, we are on the Dark Frontier, far from the Royal City and Troli."

"Surrounded by Star City, the Dark World with monsters running rampant is all around us. When people travel through the Black Fog by car, the endless darkness gives them tremendous pressure. They are constantly thirsting for safety, hoping that we can keep winning, always winning, otherwise unease and fear will grow."

"When the soil for malice appears, the Doomsday believers won’t be far behind."

Vivian’s expression was very serious, but she kept scooting further and further away as if Rod was some kind of terrifying creature.

Rod was angry and grabbed her in a hug.

"Let’s see where you can run!"

Vivian instantly turned pale and cried out, "Lord Rod, I belong to Sir Jon, you can’t do this..."

"Hmph, Minotaurs are my favorite," he retorted.

Despite saying this, Rod merely gave a courtesy hug before letting her go.

"See, you didn’t get dirty; it’s just the corrupt aura of the monster. I have super strong resistance and am not afraid of Pollution at all. The priests from Soul Church have said my soul is as pure as a Crystal."

Vivian blushed slightly and whispered, "But it really did look like a huge clump of feces that had sedimented for thousands of years... I once saw it during a sewer cleaning mission, and I didn’t eat much for a month afterward."

Rod rebuked, "How could you be so delicate and fragile and become a warrior who fights against the endless Dark? What if you’re stuck in the wild and have to eat excrement to detoxify?"

Vivian turned pale and said, "Then I might as well be dead."

"How can that be okay? Every bit of human strength is precious; even if there’s a slim chance, you have to be strong and survive!"

Despite the fear on Vivian’s face, she still nodded.

Just as Rod was about to further educate her, Molly walked in.

"These are the spoils of battle we found in the Monster Ash."

She placed a red case on the table.

Inside the case was a twisted piece of Monster Ash and a silver-white sphere.

Rod’s attention was immediately drawn.

"What’s this?"

Molly said, "We don’t know yet, it might be some kind of Source Material. The great scholar Amides will be arriving at Star Town shortly, and we shall wait for him to identify it."

Rod expressed his surprise, "Source Material? Isn’t that the materialization of Source? How could a giant Corrupted Walker have this? I clearly didn’t see it having any special soul-form."
