Chapter 42 Returning a Favor

Still, it was completely normal for a magical creature to be energetic and playful.

The only downside to its magic was that it preferred a more comfortable environment, which was totally understandable.

Chloe’s gaze fell on her spare Basic Arcane Dew Collector.

She still had one Attribute Point left.

This was the perfect opportunity to compare the difference between upgrading with just 1 Attribute Point and upgrading with 5 Attribute Points, which guaranteed a magical effect.

After Chloe used her last Attribute Point, she felt a gentle breeze brush past her.

Moments later, the upgrade results popped up.

[Arcane Dew Collector: The frame was upgraded using higher-grade materials, improving collection efficiency, the quality of dew, and the durability.

[Quality: Rare

[Effect: Collects 17 fl oz of clean water every day. High chance to get 3.4 fl oz of Premium Dew. There’s a tiny chance to score Rare or Epic Dew, which can be used to ease severe injuries and increases health.]

‘Not bad at all!’ Chloe mused.

She also had an Epic Premium Dew Collector, which could gather Premium Dew as well.

She tapped on the descriptions for Epic Dew and Rare Dew.

Turns out the Premium Dew can instantly restore 60 Energy.

[Premium Dew: Instantly restores 60 Energy, improved physical condition, lowers the risk of getting sick, fever, or catching a cold, and even helps disinfect wounds.

[Rare Dew: Instantly restores 50 Health and 100 Energy, plus reduces debuffs by 10%.

[Epic Dew: Instantly restores 200 Health and 200 Energy, reduces debuffs by 50%, clears basic illnesses, heals various flesh wounds, and grants the ‘Healing’ status, which increases natural health recovery by 10 points per

hour.

[Minimum dew needed for effects: 3.4 fl oz.]

Chloe’s eyes sparkled as soon as she saw what the dew could do.

She thought, ‘Epic items truly live up to their name. No wonder they are so highly sought after. The gap between Epic and Rare is like night and day!

She couldn’t hide the excitement on her face.

When she checked her materials, she saw that the 1-point upgrade hadn’t touched her arcane materials, but it had used up a bunch of Premium Wooden Logs and some other common materials.

Common materials like dog teeth and goat horns, which she had picked up on her very first day, were only now finally being put to use.

In the future, she could probably trade 1-point upgrades to other players, and save the 5-point upgrades for

herself.

Chloe went to her usual spot for her daily fishing routine, quickly cast out her unstable fishing rod, and simultaneously pulled up the trading group chat to save time.

The trading group now had over seven hundred members.

Chloe planned to put up the items she’d upgraded with just one Talent Point for trade first.

But before making any trades, Chloe remembered someone.

Rich DragonWolf.

Chloe sent a private message to Rich DragonWolf, offering the Arcane Dew Collector: [Friendly deal, let’s trade the Legendary Core for this enhanced collector.]

At the same time, she gave him the umbrellas she’d promised.

After finishing the Basic Arcane Defense Tower, Chloe had her Crafting Table churning out the umbrellas nonstop. She used Premium Wooden Logs, and even without Premium Plant Fibers, the umbrellas still turned out really nice.

[Chloe sent 10 umbrellas.]

Since it was daytime and monster activity was lower, Rich DragonWolf replied almost immediately: [Damn! What’s this amazing gear? I want it!]

Chloe gifted it to him right away.

She still had another Basic Arcane Dew Collector, and once she upgraded it the next day, she could offer it for trade in the Trading Post.

Rich DragonWolf replied: [I’ve gotta give you something, or I won’t feel right about this.]

Chloe was dumbfounded. To her, Grand Premium items and Legendary cores were on completely different

levels.

But for Rich DragonWolf, an item that could automatically generate water, especially water with bonus effects and a chance to restore Health, was way more precious than a Legendary Core full of debuffs and basically useless.

After all, this was a survival game.

In a survival game, the most important things were water and food.

And water was even more crucial than food. A person could survive seven or eight days without food, but only about three days without water.

Not to mention that monster difficulty had increased. Healing items or potions that restore Health are going for crazy prices.

Production gear was absolutely more valuable than just materials.

Rich DragonWolf genuinely felt guilty accepting it.

And it was a magical item on top of that!

Chloe replied: [No worries, we’re even now. If you ever score more Legendary arcane materials, come find me. I’m always up for a trade.]

She still had a second Basic Arcane Dew Collector, and once her Talent Points refreshed tomorrow, she could upgrade it again.

She would rather part with the item than owe anyone a favor.

Chloe kept fishing patiently.

The rain was falling in a persistent drizzle, with hailstones mixed in

The cold made Chloe shiver uncontrollably.

Her winter gear kept her warm, but it wasn’t waterproof Once it got soaked, the cold only worsened

She clutched a Warming Stone to her chest, fishing with the dedication of a hardcore angler

At the same time, Chloe opened up the Trading Post.
