The reward for that side quest is a replica provided to the player by the game system after analyzing the power of the dungeon.
Just like the replica of the Eris Mirror fragment that Gu Xinghe had obtained before, it was similar to the blood of the Crimson Lord.
From this perspective, the game system itself actually encourages players to complete more side quests.
After all, most of the rewards from main quests can only guarantee a certain level of survival for players.
Side quests, on the other hand, can provide players with items that possess special powers.
It also improves their ability to survive in this world.
At this moment, the three people who had finally arrived at the granary pushed open the door of the building in front of them.
It has to be said that they are now searching for a granary in a desolate town.
It does give you the feeling of collecting food resources in a wasteland.
But since it was about collecting food that was very useful to him, Chu Liang was undoubtedly the most hardworking of the three.
In this realistic alternate world, all survival resources are essential for the player's survival.
Aside from the one place to live that the game system can provide.
Food, medicine, clothing, hygiene products, and emergency supplies are all necessary items.
For Chu Liang, who was new to this world, the grain in front of him was indeed a very precious resource.
In response, Gu Xinghe simply symbolically put some wheat into a cloth bag that was slightly larger than the palm of his hand.
Just like how he would collect seemingly useless cat food cans and sealing wax stamps.
For him, it was more like a souvenir to mark his "been there, done that" moment.
Meanwhile, Chu Liang was still collecting his future rations in the granary.
Gu Xinghe then took out the Black Worm - Birth Egg, a side quest reward given by the game system, to examine it.
The reward for this mission is something all three of them currently possess.
After all, although Chu Liang seemed to have done little in resolving the root of the incident and in killing Serena, he did not contribute much.
But in that dreamlike space of the wheat field town from ten years ago, he still faithfully played the role of the innocent neighbor.
In addition, he stayed put on the spot, so the game system obviously thought he had made a small contribution to the mission.
Therefore, Gu Xinghe did not try to hide his actions of taking out the reward.
It's quite obvious that this side quest reward is the result of the game system's attempt to decipher the rules of Selena's swarm.
A replica made based on the original artifact.
Therefore, it doesn't look exactly the same as the light yellow-black beetle amber in Gu Xinghe's hand.
Moreover, compared to the genuine amber in his hand, Gu Xinghe felt that this side quest reward was more like an insect egg.
The insect egg sac in his hand was transparent.
Looking through the transparent outer layer at the black beetle inside, one can more directly perceive the new life being nurtured within.
It has a soft feel to the touch, yet it can burst easily.
It's remarkably similar to the bursting worms I've seen in their adult form before.
It can also be said to be similar to, but not the same as, the light yellow-black beetle amber that Gu Xinghe had previously obtained while "fighting monsters".
Meanwhile, Cheng Li watched as Gu Xinghe carefully examined the insect eggs.
She mimicked his actions by taking out the reward to examine it.
But after Cheng Li squeezed the insect egg bubble in her hand, which felt wonderful, she handed it to Gu Xinghe without hesitation.
Upon seeing Cheng Li's action, Chu Liang, who had finished collecting the grain, hesitated for a moment.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he handed over his side quest reward to Gu Xinghe.
In truth, he had always known deep down—
If it weren't for Gu Xinghe as his teammate entering this game instance with him this time...
Forget about getting the side quest rewards, he's even having trouble completing the main quest alive.
After all, he still remembers Fang Jie, the player who was devoured by a swarm of insects in her sleep and then died silently.
If he hadn't begged to sleep in the same room as Gu Xinghe.
He always felt that the fate of that female player was actually his fate back then.
On the other hand, Gu Xinghe was somewhat surprised to see that both Cheng Li and Chu Liang chose to give him the reward.
But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem too strange.
However, the scene before him inexplicably reminded Gu Xinghe of—
The scene depicted Carol and Rekaya collecting gifts (protection money) from players before entering the gates of Dawn Boarding School.
However, Gu Xinghe had no intention of taking or forcibly stealing other players' mission rewards.
Especially when one of the players, Chu Liang, didn't have much contact with him.
So after some thought, Gu Xinghe took out the three-piece set of newbie enhancement equipment that he had temporarily named—
Type III medicine, restorative candy, and detectors.
Although they were just some odds and ends that Gu Xinghe had discarded a long time ago.
But they are indeed quite useful when combined.
Moreover, these three items range from improving physical fitness to restoring mental strength and enabling one to detect the outside world—essential for survival.
It can be said to be a fairly complete enhancement system.
At this time, Gu Xinghe also gave one set of this equipment to Cheng Li and Chu Liang.
Of course, due to their different levels of closeness, Gu Xinghe's investment in Cheng Li would naturally be more extensive and comprehensive.
