11 Easily worth millions (1/2)

Getting two Basic Skill Duplication Scrolls was extremely useful to Ren Xiaosu. He had always thirsted for knowledge. With just one of these scrolls, he could now readily learn an existing skill from someone. As such, Ren Xiaosu regarded them as treasures.

Although it was used to learn a random skill, and he might end up learning something useless, the Advanced Firearms Proficiency he learned had already given him a sweet taste of things to come.

However, what attracted Ren Xiaosu to come to explore the palace was not these two Skill Duplication Scrolls, but what the palace had mentioned at the end…a side quest!

Since it was only a side quest, then it should not be something too important or was something that took a brief amount of time to complete.

However, Ren Xiaosu clearly heard what the voice from the palace had said at that time: ”Due to the loss of your weapon, a special…”

So this quest had something to do with a weapon, right?

In the long time that Ren Xiaosu had been going out into the wilderness, he understood well the importance of having a good weapon. Old Wang once bought a steel knife and wanted to resell it to Ren Xiaosu, but Ren Xiaosu couldn't afford it even after trying to earn and save money for half a year.

In the end, Old Wang sold that knife to a manager at the chemical plant. A factory manager was usually selected by the stronghold from among the refugees to take a leadership role. In a way, they could be considered people who enjoyed the benefits as followers of those in power within the stronghold.

At that time, Ren Xiaosu thought how great it would be if he could get his hands on a good weapon soon. Then he would not have to lie in the wilderness every day to wait to catch sparrows. It was getting much harder to wait for the birds. It was tormenting him.

If he got his hands on a knife, he could totally go out and hunt for some other wild animals such as rabbits, field mice, bamboo rats, etc.

Yes, even rabbits were considered wild animals 1 now.

Rabbits in the wilderness would not attack humans, but they were very strong and could reach the height of an adult's shins. Ren Xiaosu once dug a trap that was about two meters deep and a rabbit fell into it. However, when Ren Xiaosu approached it, the rabbit hopped straight out of the pit and even kicked him in the head while in midair. Ren Xiaosu nearly suffered a brain hemorrhage as a result.

Ren Xiaosu looked at the leather parchment in the typewriter: ”Due to the loss of your weapon, a special side quest has been activated: Collect 100 sincere gratitudes to unlock a new weapon. In addition, you can use the gratitudes gained in exchange for items.”

Ren Xiaosu looked bewildered. Why does this side quest feel so weird?

Collect gratitudes? And they had to be sincere too?

It should be easy for him to collect thanks, but this was made difficult by the fact that they needed to be sincere.

Besides, thanks could even be used as currency? More importantly, what kinds of items could it purchase?

He continued reading the leather parchment and was astonished to see new words appearing on it from time to time.

”Gratitude received from Li Xiaoyu, +1.”

Ren Xiaosu was pleased to know that he had not saved an ingrate. There shouldn't be any mistakes with the palace's judgment.

At this moment, he noticed another line of words in fine print on the leather parchment—Weapon Unlock: 1/100.

Ren Xiaosu felt unfortunate. If only he were required to collect negative emotions instead, that would have been great. He knew that he could easily cause the entire townspeople to max out on their negativity for him with no effort at all!

But he would have to make do with what the palace needed him to do. Now, Ren Xiaosu was looking forward to getting his hands on his future weapon.

An item given by the mysterious palace would definitely not be inferior.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yan Liuyuan. ”Liuyuan, say thank you to me.” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Yan Liuyuan was stunned. ”Bro, don't be like this. You're making me a little scared.”

”What are you scared of?” Ren Xiaosu snapped. ”Hurry up and say it.”

Yan Liuyuan thought for a while and said, ”Thank you for taking care of me all this while.”

”Gratitude received from Yan Liuyuan, +1.”
