Chapter 91 – Harvest Ice
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
The other production of the runic refrigerator required wind and water runes.
The function was naturally to be used for refrigeration.
If nothing unexpected happened, the soul would definitely be added as an energy source.
Klein looked at the Ice-Cream Fruit seeds.
Klein was rather curious about the new seeds.
Since they were called Ice-Cream Fruits, could the fruits that grew out be like ice-cream? They could still be used to make ice-cream!
[Ice-Cream Fruit Seed: A small tree seed. The flesh of the fruit is sticky, like mud. If it can be frozen, you can obtain delicious ice-cream. It will be refres.h.i.+ng and uncloying.]
Just as Klein expected, it could indeed be made into ice-cream!
"This thing is good. I'll expand the greenhouse today and plant it."
Klein had no intention of eating ice-cream right now.
That was because the surrounding environment was too cold!
The temperature and humidity of the underground world would change according to the location of the catacomb.
If it was cold here, other places would be hot. Wouldn't it be wonderful to taste ice cream when the time came?
Klein thought for a moment before saying, "The snow outside can also be used."
Klein took out his shovel and went outside to dig for snow.
When the snow melted, it could be used to irrigate it.
After scooping up a water tank, he hid in the runic base for warmth.
The inside of the base was much warmer than the outside.
After almost recovering, he continued shoveling snow and ice.
Klein got a few large stone vats to fill with snow.
The snow was relatively clean, and with great difficulty, it wouldn't be a problem for him to drink the melted snow water.
Klein went in and out and finally filled up ten water tanks.
The top layer of snow in the catacomb was swept clean.
A water tank had a capacity of 60 liters.
When it melted, the snow water would definitely be less than 60 liters, but a water tank could have a capacity of more than 600 liters!
It could be used for watering or drinking.
After bathing, it could precipitate some substances and be sold as second-hand bath water.
Previously, a bunch of people were fighting over second-hand hot spring bath water. There were fewer harmful substances in the snow water, so it should be more popular.
"Let's go to the next catacomb."
Klein put away the runic base and took out his shovel.
He checked five directions.
There was nothing too special in each direction. There were only treasure chests in two directions.
[In the catacomb on the left, there's an Iron Treasure Chest and some resources. It's easy to obtain
[In the catacomb on the right, there's an Iron Treasure Chest that can yield good items. There are two pa.s.sing Bear Goblin mercenaries resting. Perhaps you can have a good talk with them.]
There was danger on one side and nothing on the other.
However, the treasure chest on the right had a hint that it could yield good items.
Klein decided to go to the right.
"Bear Goblin mercenaries?"
He opened the ill.u.s.tration manual and looked it up.
[Bear Goblin: A cousin of the Goblins and the Earth Goblins. One of the Goblins that live for battle and violence. They plunder and hunt. They aren't afraid of death. They believe that a howling soul can be a four wind G.o.d. If you offer enough, they are willing to be hired. They value their promises and fulfil their duties after being hired, even if it means sacrificing their lives.]
[Ability: Violent Strike]
[Weakness: Simple-minded]
[Danger Factor: 40]
There was nothing special about their ability.
When they were enraged, the power of their attacks would be greatly increased.
'Can I hire them?'
Klein's heart stirred.
The last time he encountered a Gold-Digging Dwarf, he wanted to gather information but the Gold-Digging Dwarf had to leave.
And the underground Treant tribe was unhappy with Klein. The Treants weren't willing to tell him about the information he sought.
Now that he met a Bear Goblin that could be hired by the system… Perhaps he could give it a try!
Klein decisively chose to dig to the right.
The tunnel gradually grew longer.
About thirty meters.
It was dug through!
One person and two pets entered the next catacomb.
The 50th catacomb!
Klein, Little Wind, and Little Fox had already appeared, immediately attracting the attention of the two creatures not far away.
They were sitting by the bonfire, grilling meat. When they heard something, they immediately got up and grabbed the mace beside them.
They were also careful of Klein and the two pets.
Klein was also sizing up the Bear Goblins.
Their faces weren't exactly like bears. They still had the face of Goblins, but their noses were like bears.
Their bodies were covered in brown fur.
They were 1.78 meters tall and had a muscular body.
Their ears were long, and their lower teeth had a bunch of sharp teeth that stuck to their upper lips.
Their eyebrows were thick, and they grew upwards diagonally, exceeding their heads.
They looked a little fierce.
"Pa.s.ser-by?"
A Bear Goblin on the left asked in a m.u.f.fled voice.
It spoke in the common language of the catacombs world.
"Yes." Klein looked at the roast meat on the bonfire and said with a smile, "Do you mind if I stay here?"
The Bear Goblins looked at each other.
The Bear Goblin on the right said nonchalantly, "Whatever."
They continued to sit down to roast the meat, but their voices were lowered as they whispered to each other. From time to time, they would glance at Klein.
This was especially so for Little Fox and Little Wind. When the Bear Goblins looked at them, their eyes glowed green.
If Klein hadn't been there, they might have pounced on them and roasted Little Fox and Little Wind.
"It's good that they didn't attack me."
Klein smiled and took out a barbecue rack.
He lit a fire and took out a few large pieces of raw meat.
The meat in the Bear Goblin's hands was probably a large rat. It was very small, and it was probably only enough for them to take two or three bites each.
In comparison, the pieces of meat on Klein's side were large and numerous.
The Bear Goblin's eyes immediately widened.
It was even tempted to commit robbery.
