Treasure Hunting

After a short while, Zachary shook his head helplessly and said, "All right. I will finish ten collection quests. But Master Anne, please don't break your promise after I've accomplished the quests." And with that, he stepped out of the Living-dead Tomb to carry out the first collection quest of collecting the Heavenly Aromatic Herbs.

An hour of searching later, Zachary returned to the tomb and gave Anne ten Heavenly Aromatic Herbs.

"You have completed a collection quest, and you will receive a random treasure reward..." Mimi's voice echoed in his ears the moment Zachary handed the herbs to Anne.

"Congratulations! You will receive a first-grade Heavenly Aromatic Herb!" As Mimi was speaking, a flash of light shone in front of Zachary's eyes and a fresh herb appeared in front of him.

"It turns out I can get a reward after completing a collection quest! And it is an herb reward!" Zachary exclaimed in surprise with raised eyebrows as he seized the herb.

"Master Anne, this is only the first quest, and there are still nine left. May I continue to complete the remaining quests?" Zachary asked with great excitement. Although Anne didn't accept him as her disciple, he could still acquire treasure rewards with every quest he accomplished. With that in mind, he was eager to finish more quests for more rewards. And if he completed ten collection quests, then he would acquire ten treasure rewards. Thus, he couldn't be more willing to continue the remaining quests.

"I'm tired. You can leave now. See you tomorrow!" Anne replied, ignoring his request.

After a moment, Zachary found himself back in the Peach Blossom Forest.

The moment he returned, Zachary heard Mimi's tender voice, "The Treasure-hunting System has a special storage space. Would you like to keep your treasures there?"

"Oh, there's even a storage space! Yes, I would like that," Zachary answered with delight. Immediately after his reply, the first-grade Heavenly Aromatic Herb in his hand disappeared. He knew that it had been stored automatically in the special storage space.

After exiting the system, Zachary went back to his treehouse. Exhausted, he collapsed on his bed and fell into a sound sleep. He needed a good rest for tomorrow's quest.
