194: Chapter 115 Moonstone_3 194: Chapter 115 Moonstone_3 “Moonstone?”
Looking at the familiar sheen in the other’s hand, Xia Nan subconsciously thought.
A rather expensive gemstone.
The last ti Xia Nan went “shopping” with Frogon, he found a smaller one in an Earth Goblin’s storage box.
It still sold for the high price of “35 Gold”.
At present, it’s just an ordinary goblin nest, and yet there is such a harvest.
“Could it be his beginner’s luck?”
Xia Nan’s gaze at Abi suddenly beca peculiar.
Unexpectedly, the first to discover the Moonstone, and judging by his performance, Abi should be aware of the little stone’s value.
No matter how excited he was, after examining the small stone in his hand for a mont, he walked straight over.
His face bead with the unique smile of a newbie, without any hesitation.
He directly handed the Moonstone over to Adeline.
According to the distribution rules explained to Xia Nan when the team was ford.
The bounty of 5 silver coins per goblin goes to the one who kills it.
But all the spoils found in the goblin nest belong to the team’s revenue.
They will be converted into gold coins upon returning to the city and evenly distributed among every team mber.
Of course, in special circumstances, such as when soone makes a significant contribution to the team, or if the spoils are equipnt a mber particularly desires…
Then upon returning to the city, there will be a collective discussion to reach a conclusion acceptable to everyone.
At present, besides selling the “Moonstone” to the general store, it holds no value to the team mbers.
And in the earlier battle, roles were clearly divided, even if the number of goblins each person killed varied slightly, it didn’t reach the level of “special contribution”.
Thus, this expensive crystal stone, the size of a fingernail, will be exchanged for gold coins after returning to the city, along with the task reward given by the Association, to be distributed to all mbers of the team.
“All in all…
the final takeaway should be around ten or so gold?”
Xia Nan estimated in his mind.
Undoubtedly, the team profits are much less than if he acted solo.
Even though clearing a goblin cave might be faster, the overall value remains the sa.
In a four-person squad, even if the task earned 100 gold, divided equally, each person would get only twenty-five gold.
This is almost just a small fraction of Xia Nan’s earnings from previous tasks.
Though it’s not to the point of being dismissive, it is far from stirring his heart.
Of course, an ordinary low level adventurer wouldn’t possibly be like him:
Upon their first adventure, obtaining magic items, directly harvesting from the Otherworldly Secret Realm, escorting trade caravans embroiled in conspiracies, even managing to hire a professional to train in Battle Skills, being Transcendent and close to Legendary.
Initially not feeling much, Xia Nan later recalled that he always wondered if soone adjusted his “ga difficulty” when he crossed over.
All in all, for low level adventurers who frequently operate around the outskirts of Mist Forest, for whom goblin bounties are the main inco, earning ten to twenty gold coins per task counts as quite good.
At least it certainly is for Abi.
Even as they finished tidying up the goblin nest, preparing to leave, he remained very excited.
As if earning such a sum was a first in his life.
Muttering about how much work in the fields it would be to earn that many gold coins for his whole family.
Even his steps beca a bit lighter.
After just finishing a reasonably intense fight, no one wanted to spoil the mood at this mont.
After a final check to make sure nothing was missed in the cave.
Xia Nan and the others no longer lingered, turning towards the exit passage.
Planning to return to the city directly without venturing further into the forest, and with the corpses situated below ground in the nest.
There was no need to deal with the bodies.
The scent of blood spreading outside the cave would be enough to lure the scavengers of the forest in for a feast.
By the next day, probably not even a trace of blood would remain, it would be picked clean.
“Splat, splat…”
Since the goblins had been cleaned up, there was no need to control their footsteps any longer.
Wandering through the tunnel leading to the surface, a few people simultaneously hastened their pace.
Abi was particularly exuberant, walking upfront, with his wooden shield rely held as a token in front, seemingly already contemplating how to spend the gold coins soon to be in his possession.
“Wait!”
Just as they reached the end, about to exit the cave.
Adeline suddenly extended a hand and pulled Abi back.
Her brows furrowed.
Her gaze tightly fixed on the stones she had deliberately placed at the entrance of the passage before entering the cave.
Now, those stones, originally placed in specific positions, silently shifted from their place.
Scattered across the ground near the exit.
