Anyway, a high-level Thunder Cloud Leopard had just been active nearby, so there was no need to worry about other magical beasts coming over for a while. Gu Shi just sat paralyzed on the ground for a long time.

The fierce battle just now made him covered in dust. He wiped the dust off his face casually and then stood up slowly.

Anyway, the mission is completed, so I might as well go back early.

Gu Shi was just about to leave when he noticed something shiny reflecting light on the ground next to him.

"Huh? What is this?"

Gu Shi walked over and picked up the thing, and was surprised to find that it was actually a space prop.

Gu Shi took it in his hand and examined it carefully. It was a diamond-shaped pendant with two short chains attached to the top.

"It looks like a necklace."

This should be the captain who was killed by Lei Yunbao just now. There are black marks on both ends of the broken chain. I didn’t expect it to survive the attack just now.

Gu Shi checked the contents of the necklace and couldn't help but wonder, "Is this captain actually that rich? He's so rich, yet he still wants to come out and catch a Crystal Beast?"

The necklace contained a full 500 cubic meters of space, filled with a large amount of gold coins, magic crystals, and a lot of miscellaneous items. A rough estimate suggested that the pile of gold coins must have numbered in the tens of thousands, not to mention the magic crystals nearby.

This necklace actually did not belong to the captain. Just a few days ago, it was on a businessman.

This team bought a lot of things to capture the phantom beast, but the news accidentally leaked out. A businessman somehow got to know the news and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Naturally, the others disagreed, so the merchant threatened to spread the news. The team decided to kill the ungrateful merchant, and the necklace was the spoils of war.

The captain discovered the necklace when he was dealing with the merchant's body afterwards. He was the only one there at the time, and such a huge fortune naturally aroused his greed.

So the captain secretly hid the necklace and didn't let other people in the team find it. As a result, Gu Shi got the advantage today.

Gu Shi put the necklace away and laughed happily, "I guess I became rich overnight."

The arrival of this unexpected fortune made Gu Shi feel that the excitement of tonight was nothing.

On the way back, Gu Shi originally just wanted to get back to the town as quickly as possible, but for some reason, those monsters started to attack him actively.

After getting rid of another monster blocking the way, Gu Shi roughly understood that it must be the thing that the captain threw at him just now that attracted these monsters.

Gu Shi was very tired now and didn't want to get entangled with these monsters any longer. He increased his speed to the fastest and just wanted to get back to the hotel as soon as possible.

With the help of the speed technique, Gu Shi returned to the town of Melia at dawn.

When Gu Shi walked in, there were only a few drunkards snoring in the restaurant on the first floor who had been drinking all night. The waiter standing behind the bar greeted him silently.

Gu Shi also nodded to him, then went straight back to his room upstairs.

Have a good night.

When Gu Shi woke up again, it was almost evening. He stayed in bed for a while, then went downstairs to have a big meal, and then began to count his gains from last night.

First of all, there are gold coins, a total of 35,000 gold, and then there are magic crystals, 215 third-level magic crystals, 156 fourth-level magic crystals, and 75 fifth-level magic crystals.

Gu Shi muttered to himself: "With so many magic crystals in hand, maybe I can directly upgrade the Life Staff to the fifth level."

Gu Shi did as he said. He summoned the Staff of Life and placed it on the hill of magic crystals.

As a dazzling white light flashed, the staff had indeed reached the fifth level, just as Gu Shi had expected. As the level gradually increased, the gem on the top of the staff also regained some of its brilliance.

Less than half of the holiday had passed, and Gu Shi's original goal had already been exceeded. He happily picked up the staff and tried it out. Sure enough, the enhancement of his magic was much higher than before.

After the Life Staff was upgraded to the fifth level, the cost-effectiveness of continuing to invest in low-level magic crystals was too low, so Gu Shi decided not to continue hunting for magic crystals.

I could use the money to buy some fifth-tier magic crystals here. Meria Town is close to the Monster Forest, so the output of magic crystals is high. The price should be lower than elsewhere, right? I'll go check it out later.

With this in mind, Gu Shi quickly decided where to spend the gold coins. Thirty thousand of them would be used to purchase magic crystals, and the remaining five thousand would be kept as a reserve.

Gu Shi took a look at the remaining pile of debris. They were all daily necessities such as clothes. Such personal belongings of others were of no use to him, so Gu Shi prepared to clean them all up.

After finishing his things, Gu Shi, who was suddenly free, stayed in the room and didn't know what to do. It was impossible for the store to be open in the middle of the night. He thought for a while and decided to go to the Adventurer's Guild in the town.

Due to its special location, the town of Melia is one of the few towns with an adventurer's guild stationed there.

Gu Shi put on his clothes and walked slowly on the streets at night. He did not ask about the location of the Adventurer's Guild in advance, but chose to look for it slowly on his own.

The town was much quieter at night than during the day, and Gu Shi quite enjoyed the feeling of strolling at night. It took him some time to walk across most of the town before he arrived at the door of the Adventurer's Guild.

Even though it was already late at night, there were still many people active in the hall of the Adventurer's Guild.

Gu Shi even saw a few orcs moving around inside. This was the first time he saw a race other than humans, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

As a result, the other party was very sensitive to sight and immediately discovered that Gu Shi was peeking, and he was so scared that he quickly turned his head away.

Gu Shi came to the task board and carefully looked for suitable tasks.

It’s a pity that high-cost-effective tasks like picking Moon Frost Flowers, which pay a lot of money and have little trouble, are rare. Gu Shi looked for them but couldn’t find any similar ones. He could only accept two tasks of hunting monsters as a second best option.

The Adventurer's Guild in Congleton had not accepted such a mission before because Gu Shi did not have a space ring big enough, and he could not fly back to Congleton from here dragging the corpse of a monster by himself.

After getting the necklace with a space of 500 cubic meters yesterday, storing the monster corpses is no longer a problem.
