Chapter 10: The Boss Has Killed Crypt Creatures?
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

In the World Chat Channel.
“Friends who lack water and have wood, quickly go to the trade channel. Boss Klein is selling water again.”
“What are you shouting for? Do you think there are too many people?”
“Heh heh, don’t even think about it. Boss Klein just put it up for sale, and in just a few seconds, it was already sold out. A group of people were staring at the trade market.”
“What’s wrong with Klein? This guy traded 400 ml yesterday, and now he’s selling 300 ml. Does he have too much?”
“Big Boss Klein, can you come out and say something? Which catacombs have you dug up? Can you tell me the strategy?”
“There’s bread over there. Klein needs runes or souls! I haven’t even seen runes, and a few souls have appeared. Is this another killing tool?”
“If nothing unexpected happens, he should have dug up quite a few catacombs. Sigh, his luck is really good.”
“…”
A group of people discussed the matter.
In the world channel for the past two days, Klein was the most unique.
Other people would trade resources for food and drink, but he was the only one who did the opposite.
There were runes and souls. It sounded like he was going to get high-grade resources.
“Water is too popular.”
Klein’s wood supply had increased to 30 units.
In less than a few seconds after it was placed up, it was immediately sold out.
Many of the buyers who had managed to get 15 ml of water sent private messages to Klein thanking him sincerely for saving their lives.
They also expressed that he could notify them in advance if he were to put up the water again.
Alice sent a private message to Klein. “Mr. Klein, can you tell me what a soul is?”
Alice, who had completed the transaction with Klein the last time, sent a private message.
Klein happened to catch a glimpse of it.
In fact, it wasn’t just Alice who was asking. Thousands of people were asking about it one after another.
The rest of the private messages were either begging Klein for alms, saying they were pitiful, or they wanted to use strange things to trade with him.
To be able to ask what a soul was, it was likely that she didn’t need to consider eating or drinking in the short term.
“Should I reveal this information?”
Klein thought for a moment and decided to tell everyone.
Firstly, this wasn’t important information.
And… Sooner or later, someone would be able to kill the crypt creature and obtain information about the soul.
It was even possible that someone had already killed a crypt creature.
Although crypt creatures were dangerous, there was no lack of fierce humans among the humans.
A slide shovel would make a fierce tiger tremble three times.
“Killing a crypt creature will obtain a soul.” Klein extracted the keywords and sent a group message.
Alice: “Awesome.”
“Boss is awesome!”
“Are crypt creatures dangerous?”
“What can souls be used for?”
“F**k, we’re still struggling to survive. Boss, have you already fought monsters? What a joke.”
After learning that the soul came from the crypt creatures, all the players across from him had entered.
There were also people who wanted to ask about the use of the soul. Regarding this, Klein chose to ignore them.
Firstly, he didn’t know much about it.
Secondly, he wanted to exchange souls. If others knew about the use of the soul, they would unconsciously raise the bottom line of the transaction.
He could hide it for a while.
After Klein finished answering the private message, the news had already spread through the world channel.
“I just asked Klein about it. He told me that only by killing the crypt creature can one soul be obtained!”
It wasn’t just one person.
The others also mentioned this matter.
“The boss must have killed a crypt creature before he found out!”
Many people speculated.
The world channel exploded.
While they were carefully digging and struggling to survive, others had already killed a crypt creature.
There was no way to compare!
Klein didn’t care about the situation in the world channel. He only looked at private messages.
It had to be said that after becoming famous, there were so many private messages that they exploded.
Thankfully, private messages had a filtering function and could eliminate some junk private messages.
“Boss, do you need an Ordinary Down Jacket Blueprint? I want to exchange bread!”
“Do you need an Ordinary Stone Bowl Blueprint?”
“Can Fluorescent Grass be exchanged for bread? I have ten units.”
“Do you need a rope?”
“Candles! Do you want a whip?”
There were all sorts of strange items to trade.
It was a little too nonsensical.
Klein focused on the blueprints, souls, and runes.
No one mentioned the soul and runes.
After half an hour of filtering, Klein replied to a private message from one of them.
Rogers said, “Hey, Boss, I have an Excellent Machete Blueprint and an Ordinary Barbecue Grill Blueprint. There’s also a fire rune. If you can exchange them, which one do you want?”
Klein said, “I want all of them. I can give you an extra piece of cured meat.”
Rogers said, “That’s great. Thank you, Sir. I’m starving!”
Klein said, “Wait a moment. I’ll go down to the rack first.”
After the two of them saw each other, they completed the transaction in private.
The food could be cut.
The cured meat might not be as big as bread, but the meat made one famished.
[System notification: 400g Wheat Bread completed transaction, Fire Rune+1]
[System notification: 1 Bacon transaction completed, Excellent Machete Blueprint+1, Ordinary Grill Blueprint+1]
Two blueprints appeared in Klein’s hands.
None of them were runic devices.
In the blueprint list, there were only spears and no swords.
“Learn them all.”
The two blueprints turned into two streams of light.
Klein flipped open the blueprint list and looked at the synthesis formula.
