Are you crazy! You call this an assist?

"You boy, I don't know how many surprises there are!"

The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth couldn't help but turn up. After all, if you go to the Blacksmith Association to find an NPC to break down the earth spirit core, you will inevitably have to pay a breakup fee. This is a real savings.

"Hey, boss, just give me the Earth Spirit Core." Hei Xuan stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Get out of here first."

Jiang Chen looked around the square. Although it was late at night and early in the morning, there were still players coming and going, and there were quite a lot of them.

It's just that they were in a hurry and didn't pay attention to their surroundings. They were just on their way.

Jiang Chen didn't want to attract attention, so he quickly left the central square and strode forward along the street.

Hei Xuan flew into the sky and followed behind.

Soon, Jiang Chen came to a deserted alley, and Hei Xuan flew down from the sky.

"This is the earth's spiritual core."

Jiang Chen took out two egg-sized yellow beads from his backpack and asked out of caution: "Are you sure you can break it down into earth crystal nuclei?"

"Boss, I have spit out so much earth element powder before, and I can also spit out the earth crystal core. This is nothing to me, so just leave it to me."

Heixuan patted his chest and assured.

"Um."

Jiang Chen nodded and handed the two earth spirit cores to the other party.

"This thing is not common. It would take me a long time underground to eat one."

Hei Xuan took the earth spirit core with eyes full of joy, looked close at his face, threw it with his little hand, opened his mouth to catch it, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

Then he tossed it one after another and swallowed the other one.

"How many earth crystal cores can this decompose?" Jiang Chen asked with expectant eyes.

"At least fifty!"

Hei Xuan stretched out five slender fingers.

"so much?"

Jiang Chen looked surprised and said happily: "You said before that you can spit out forty or fifty earth crystal cores, but now there are a hundred in total?"

"Well……"

Hei Xuan's dark face fell instantly, but he still nodded firmly: "Yes!"

"Come on then."

Jiang Chen extended his hand without any politeness.

"No, boss, it's not possible right now. I'll give it to you after I rest for a few hours to regain my strength."

Hei Xuan scratched his hairless head and said slightly embarrassed.

"You swallowed my earth spirit core, wasn't it to restore your vitality?"

Jiang Chen noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, boss, there will definitely be no shortage of a hundred earth spirit cores by then!" Hei Xuan assured.

"Okay, I believe you."

Jiang Chen didn't say any more. He looked at the time and it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

After thinking briefly, he strode out of the alley and headed north along the main road.

…

Seven or eight minutes later, Jiang Chen arrived in front of a square, flat-story building, which was the Imperial City Affairs Office.

After entering, you can see many associations on both sides, including [Adventurers Association], [Blacksmiths Association], [Medicineers Association]... and so on.

He walked into the largest adventurers association alone.

Behind a semicircular front desk in the association hall, there are several girls in servant skirts who are receptionists.

Jiang Chen quickly walked over. Because it was late at night, there was a lot of people coming and going, but there was no need to queue up.

After approaching, one of the receptionists nodded and smiled: "Hello adventurer, may I help you? I can help you..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Jiang Chen said directly: "I released the task and wanted to check the progress."

"Please show your mission release certificate." The maid receptionist smiled and extended her hand.

"Give."

Jiang Chen immediately took out a palm-sized paper receipt from his backpack, which he received when the mission was released.

The maid receptionist took the voucher and flicked it on a crystal ball suspended on the table.

A curtain of light immediately appeared, with a line of text on it:

[Progress of the task of entrusting to collect materials: Magic Energy Source (15

100), Gold and Iron Essence (55

100), Earth Crystal Core (11

50), earth element powder (45

50). 】

"Don't worry about the earth crystal core and earth element powder. The gold and iron essence is less than half. It should be collected tomorrow, but this magic energy source... is it so rare?"

Jiang Chen looked at the words on the light screen and murmured in his heart.

He knew that there were only two reasons for the slow collection of materials. Either the items were too scarce, or the price was too low.

"Do you need to take away the collected materials?" the receptionist asked.

"No, I'll pick it up tomorrow." Jiang Chen waved his hand.

"Okay, is there anything else you need help with?" the receptionist asked again.

"No more." Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Please keep the voucher." The receptionist returned the paper voucher to Jiang Chen.

"Let's rest first. I hope the materials will be available tomorrow."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, turned around and left the Adventurers Association.

He came outside and looked up at a black shadow in the sky.

The black shadow quickly flew down from the sky: "Boss, what are your orders?"

"I'm going to rest. You should also find a safe place to have a good rest. Don't let others beat you up as a monster."

After saying that, Jiang Chen chose to go offline.

…

After returning to the real world, Jiang Chen took a simple shower and ate something before lying down in the exclusive room of the Super Power Team's base headquarters to rest.

There were a lot of things to do the next day, and he had to go to Ruto to perform the "Soul Refining Ceremony", so he had to stay alert!
