Chloe sent another 130 Wooden Logs to the other player. With their daily output of 400 Plant Fibers, it would be enough to keep her decomposer running until the very last day of the newbie period.
With the contract in place, Chloe wasn’t worried about the other player scamming her or disappearing with the goods.
TrashFisher: [Uh, I’m out of Plastic Scraps.]
Chloe: [No problem, just keep a tab for now.
[That’s 2,400 Plant Fibers total. Go ahead and start, and if you end up making extra, just hand it over after the newbie period.]
TrashFisher: [Got it.]
TrashFisher: [Thanks for backing me up.]
Chloe quietly turned her gaze to the Arcane Workbench in the corner, which was working hard to craft the Magic Rune Refrigerator.
As it worked, the Arcane Workbench gave off a faint purple glow.
The whole scene was brimming with a magical, sci-fi energy.
Chloe crouched down and couldn’t resist giving the Arcane Workbench a little pat on the head.
Chloe said, “Come on, pick up the pace. Look, I just made a deal with another player, and her decomposer is already booked for the next six days.”
She teased, “Seriously, you’re supposed to be an epic Arcane Workbench-how can you be slacking off like this?”
Chloe patted the Arcane Workbench again, wishing it would just spit out the Magic Rune Refrigerator and Glass Panes already, so she could finally finish her glass greenhouse.
With each pat, the blocky Arcane Workbench slowly scooted to the side, even nudging the Arcane Alchemy Table next to it.
Chloe nearly cracked up.
The wind was still biting in the snowy landscape as night settled in. The Arcane Defense Tower rumbled in the background, and Chloe went over to pick up the treasure chest she’d scored today.
The notification popped up: [Congrats. You got a Special Secret Realm Resource Card.
[Congrats. You got a Street Lamp Blueprint xl.
[Congrats. You got Lamb x10, Raw Pork x30, Beef x10.
[Congrats. You got a High Heat Forge Construction Blueprint xl.
[Congrats. You got Chili Pepper Seeds x3.
[Congrats. You got a Broken Map x1.]
As soon as Chloe spotted the Special Secret Realm Resource Card, she couldn’t help but grin, her eyes curving into happy
crescents.
‘Wow, Chloe thought. ‘A Secret Realm Resource Card? I got another one.

The last one had already made her filthy rich.

Chloe placed all the Raw Pork and Lamb onto the smoking rack to cure. For now, that was the best she could do.
Then she carefully stashed the chili pepper seeds away, making sure they were safe.
These were precious seasonings.
It had been ages since Chloe tasted anything spicy.
Seasonings definitely cost a pretty penny.
Then, Chloe checked out the details of the other items. [Street Lamp Blueprint: Use this to unlock street lamp crafting at the
Arcane Workbench.
[Detected: Player has Arcane Hydro-Electric Conversion Engineering. Learning this blueprint gives you a chance to unlock the Magical Street Lamp.
[Quality: Common
[High Heat Forge Construction Blueprint: This is a premium blueprint that lets you build an advanced facility for smelting and forging ores. You can check the full details after it’s built.
[Quality: Rare
[Construction Requirements: 800 Rare Iron Blocks (Stone), 1,000 Premium Charcoal, 10 Rare Energy Cores, 100 Rare Clay, 100 Quartz, 500 Rare Fire-Resistant Wooden Logs
[Construction Conditions: 15-by-12 plot of land, any Level 2 Crafting Table
[Once built, you can use the High Heat Forge to craft all sorts of basic gear, unlock higher-tier material recipes, and forge all kinds of ores.]
‘Wait, I totally know what this is. It’s like a weapon crafting station, Chloe thought.
Chloe checked the materials list and thought building this thing would be a real hassle.
But to her surprise, she already had most of the stuff, and whatever she was missing, she could easily snag from the trading hall.
She’d picked up 100 Quartz ages ago, probably from some random trade she barely remembered. As for the Rare Energy Cores, she’d need to hit up the trading hall and work out a deal.
As for Rare Clay and Rare Fire-Resistant Wooden Logs, Chloe had already gotten her hands on some Flame-Breath Clay and Rare Fire Cedar back when she checked the inventory of high-level players.
Chloe finally got to experience the rush of having a stash ready for anything.
She’d piled up all these supplies, and now, when it was time to use them, she realized she had everything on hand. That sense of being fully prepared-pure joy.
Chloe was genuinely delighted.
Plus, she was still sitting on nearly a thousand pieces of raw energy ore.
She quickly dropped a buying post in the group chat.
Chloe: [Looking to buy Advanced Rare Iron Blocks or Stones. Will trade Sanitary Pads, Rare Cloudveil Silk, Rare Fire-Leech Moss, MistyGrass, Mist Lotus, LanternGrass, WindingVines, or Fire Cedar.]

These were all high-grade herbs Chloe had found in the Forbidden Forest. Each one was Rare quality.
Every plant had unique properties. Some boasted powerful medicinal effects; others were rich in Plant Fibers.
Chloe was sure there were other players with special talents who’d be eager for these premium materials.

Just like Chloe was obsessed with Advanced Arcane Materials, other players with their own specialties would crave these rare resources just as much.
Just as Chloe expected, the moment she posted her message, her notifications blew up.
It was already 2 AM, but the global chat was still going wild.
MintyGrass: [Pro, help me. Please sell to me. I really want to buy.
[I only have 30 Rare Ores right now, but I can ask around and see if I can get more.
[How much for Fire-Leech Moss, Mist Lotus, and LanternGrass? Would 30 Rare Ores for each herb work for you?]
It was way slower to gather Herbs than to collect ores.
On top of that, very few people ever managed to get their hands on Advanced Herbs.
Advanced Herbs were always in demand but never in stock.
After all, MintyGrass wasn’t the only one with a herbal crafting talent.
Chloe had already seen a few players with even higher herbal talents than MintyGrass.
Chloe: [40 Rare Ores for each herb. I don’t have a lot of herbs myself, so I can only spare a few. This is a special price for friends-max 3 per type.
[Thanks for helping me out before, so I’m giving you a discount.]
