Chapter 98: Chapter 98

Scrubbing and washing simultaneously, both birds and the person were quickly becoming clean. "Next time, I must bring some soap or something. How long will it take to wash ?" Du You remarked while washing.

The stench clung on stubbornly, refusing to be washed away. The self-generated mucus was alright, over time it would dissipate on its own. But the foul smell from the Highly Toxic Swamp was too overpowering to wash away.

If an ordinary person stayed too long in a dark place, they might be directly choked to death by the smell.

With Du You’s vigorous washing, the fish in the creek suffered. As the highly toxic mucus was washed off, the fish around him began flipping belly-up and floated to the surface. He could only speculate if any unfortunate soul would get poisoned from eating these fish.

Quietly apologizing, Du You affirmed he was clean before setting off again with Xiaozi.

They wouldn’t run into anyone because their paths were different.

This time, Du You was solely focused on hunting dinosaurs. There were still many days left until the designated time. Upon initial arrival, he was given ten days.

After ten days, those who hadn’t come out yet would be forcibly expelled.

These ten days were allotted for them to complete their tasks. Of course, if they wished to reenter later, they could. But there were many people waiting in line for their turn.

In the days that followed, Du You used the wide-scale Mucus Swamp Spell in combination with his Disintegration Spell, Xiaozi’s attacks, and the Cursed Crow King’s curses. His stock of Crystal Coins started increasing again.

Time passed swiftly, and before he knew it, ten days were up. At this point, Du You found that he had accumulated over 600 Crystal Coins. These could be put to good use in upgrading himself.

"Now I have five skills, two of which are already maxed out. To max out the others, I need thirty Crystal Coins each. Add the cost of promoting the two professions, which equates to 150 Crystal Coins. I’ll stay at level 3 for now and avoid leveling up to 4." Du You began to absorb the Crystal Coins as he thought about his next moves.

Soon, his skills began to increase. After absorbing 150 Crystal Coins, his stash was reduced to less than 500. He needed to reserve these Crystal Coins to get ready for the new spells.

Also, there was the Dark Element Stone. He wasn’t sure if it could be bought in a guild.

Unfortunately, for the remaining time, Du You only found a few materials and no equipment. He got only two pieces of equipment, the Emperor Crocodile Belt and the Plesiosaurus Throat, upon arriving here. Dinosaur World wasn’t a good place for finding equipment, though there were plenty of feedstock. It was a shame that most of it had to be thrown away due to limited bag space.

During this time, Du You hunted various types of dinosaurs and finally laid eyes on the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the boss among the dinosaurs.

However, the material from the Tyrannosaurus Rex came from his forehead, a perfect material for shields - different from Du You’s initial thoughts. "Time’s almost up, time to get out of here." Seeing that the timer was nearing ten days, Du You considered submitting his main task before completely disappearing into a beam of light.

When Du You opened his eyes again, he was already inside the World Boat. Around him, many people were reappearing from a beam of light, choosing to return at the last moment.

At the same time, there were other people standing on the side in the World Boat. Those were the early returners. After all, one day here in the World Boat was equivalent to a minute in real life. So even the earliest returner who had leased his bag out only waited for ten minutes.

"It seems that many people have returned. Of the three hundred people who set off together, only over forty people died."

The guild employee who had returned early counted the number of people who returned and spoke with emotion. Dinosaur World was indeed perilous. Du You felt a bit guilty as more than ten of those forty-plus casualties were his doing.

But at this moment, Du You certainly wouldn’t admit it. Suddenly, Du You felt someone staring at him. As he turned his head, he noticed a person quickly retracting his gaze. Googlᴇ search 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Humph, so it’s that guy." Du You sneered. The one who was staring at him wasn’t someone else, it was Zhang Chao who had oppressed him previously. This man was standing among a few people, indicating that he got his own team, but it was vastly different from what he had imagined.

He was just playing games after all. Without enough strength and ability, it was not easy to garner respect from others.

Still, it was partly due to this person that Du You once encountered a near-death experience. Now was not the time to pick a fight. That could wait until they crossed paths again some other time. It was serious to start a fight within the city.

Especially within the guild, if he dared to attack another member, the next moment would be his moment of demise.

"Alright, come with me. Hand over your bags and the stuff inside. Pterodactyl eggs must be sold to the guild, while other materials can either be sold at the guild or elsewhere."

"How are the prices at the guild? I heard there’s a material market nearby."

"Haha, the material market is just behind the guild, and it’s also managed by the guild. So essentially, the prices are the same. But the guild’s prices are not low, so you can sell your materials here. I see you don’t seem to have too many items."

"You are mistaken. I rented multiple bags. It’s not easy to get pterodactyl eggs, I used the bags specifically for storing materials. All of them are full." Some people had even thought about this. What talent!

While listening to the conversations around him, Du You followed the crowd and exited the World Boat.

Outside, there were quite a few people waiting at the entrance. It seemed like there were many large teams being formed. In just ten minutes, these people had reacted and received the news so quickly.

"Hurry up, don’t block the way. For those behind, enter. Let me remind you, Dinosaur World is very dangerous. Once you’re in, your life and death are up to you." The guild staff, much like a tour guide, was shouting loudly and waving a small flag.

But those people paid no attention. Although the mortality rate in Dinosaur World was high, most people were not afraid. Perhaps, in their eyes, only the Semi-Professionals with poor luck would die. The Professionals wouldn’t die. And indeed, this was almost always the case in reality.
