Chapter 32: The Second Purple Equipment
Chapter 32: The Second Purple Equipment
The person was carrying an iron shovel and was clearly here to dig for treasure. Chen Mo had unintentionally caused his own trouble this time.
Chen Mo did not expect anyone to come dig for treasure at this hour. Players who saw the post during the day had already gone to dig earlier. He logged in at night, and it was rare to see people still digging for treasure on the Slime Plains.
The figure gradually became clearer. When Chen Mo saw this person, he could not help but be surprised.
The figure holding the iron shovel was the little loli warrior named Little Warrior he had met almost an hour ago.
“Why did she come back here?”
After Chen Mo finished digging his hole, he had purposely run back to check once. At that time, Little Warrior had already left, leaving a deep pit behind. Chen Mo thought she had gone, but it turned out she had moved to another spot to continue digging, and after finishing there, she came searching over here.
“It’s you? Wow! Did you dig up such a huge monster?”
Little Warrior had a good memory and recognized Chen Mo at a glance.
The Mutant Slime King had just been pushed into the pit by Chen Mo. When Little Warrior saw it, her eyes widened in disbelief.
“Yes, this guy is really strong. You should leave quickly!” Chen Mo said quickly. This loli warrior probably did not play games much; otherwise, she would not have the wild idea that digging could unearth a BOSS.
Chen Mo did not think too much about it and just wanted to trick the little loli for now. By the time she realized the truth, he would probably no longer need to kill the Mutant Slime King.
“I’m not afraid! I’ll help you!” Little Warrior bravely switched to an iron sword and charged toward the Mutant Slime King.
“No!”
Chen Mo was shocked and tried to stop her, but unfortunately, he was a bit too late. Little Warrior let out a “Heave ho!” and jumped into the pit, ready to fight the Mutant Slime King.
After she entered the game, she was lucky enough to get some equipment. Even the monsters on the Slime Plains could not pose much danger to her. Although the Mutant Slime King was large, she did not think its attack power was very strong.
Chen Mo could not bear to watch. He had just pushed the Mutant Slime King into the pit, and there were still many purple orbs it had released inside. These purple orbs lasted for more than ten seconds after being released. For this loli warrior to jump in now was practically… seeking her own death!
Sure enough, as soon as Little Warrior jumped into the pit and before she could get close to the Mutant Slime King, several purple orbs touched her.
Thump, thump, thump… A series of dull thuds sounded. Before Little Warrior could figure out what was happening, she was instantly killed.
Well, never mind. Dead was dead. It was just a game anyway. Below Level 10, there were no penalties.
Chen Mo did not dwell on it and focused on killing the Mutant Slime King. If someone else showed up now, he might not be so lucky this time.
“Roar!”
The Mutant Slime King let out a familiar, unwilling roar. It was a BOSS after all, even its death pose was fixed!
With a clattering sound, in the dark night, glowing lights flashed all around the fallen body of the Mutant Slime King. The BOSS had another big loot drop!
Chen Mo quickly jumped down and gathered all the items into his backpack in one go.
That loli warrior would likely come back, so Chen Mo did not wait for her there. The loli was too naive. If she returned, she would surely ask many questions. Chen Mo did not want to lie to her, so it was better to avoid meeting her entirely.
After walking some distance away, Chen Mo began to check the items dropped by the Mutant Slime King this time.
“Hahaha, another piece of Purple Equipment!”
The Mutant Slime King still dropped more than ten pieces of equipment. Chen Mo spotted a purple one among them at a glance!

“Not bad, not bad. With the Windwalker Shoes, I don’t have to worry about dying accidentally when facing the Mutant Slime King!”
When the Mutant Slime King jumped out of the pit, its speed increased greatly. Now, with the Windwalker Shoes, Chen Mo’s movement speed could increase a bit more. Although he still could not completely escape the Mutant Slime King, it would not be so easy for the Mutant Slime King to catch up to him either. As long as he obstructed it slightly, the Mutant Slime King would have no chance of catching him.
“There’s also one piece of Green Equipment, Tough Leather Leggings!”
Tough Leather Leggings

The description was similar to the Tough Leather Armor he got yesterday, except yesterday’s was for the upper body and this was for the lower body. The attributes were different, but it was clearly from the same equipment series.
Aside from these two pieces of equipment, the other ten or so items were all Blue Equipment.
Chen Mo had also gathered materials from the Mutant Slime King’s corpse, but this time he got nothing.
Compared to yesterday, he was missing a Mutant Skill Scroll, a Skill Book, and one piece of Green Quality equipment. However, Chen Mo was quite satisfied.
Yesterday was likely the first kill of the Mutant Slime King, so it naturally dropped more items. After the first kill, BOSS drops were usually worse than the first time. If every Mutant Slime King from now on could drop one piece of Purple Equipment, he would be overjoyed.
This time, it also dropped more than forty Silver Coins. Every hundred Silver Coins would be automatically exchanged for one Gold Coin by the System. He was just a bit short of having one Gold Coin in his backpack.
…
Not long after Chen Mo left, Little Warrior’s cute little face appeared in the night.
She did not see Chen Mo, but she did not think much of it. She just sighed at how amazing that big brother was, digging up such a monster that instantly killed her.
Little Warrior took out an old treasure map. She had marked many spots on the treasure map. After checking her coordinates, she started digging a hole near the pit Chen Mo had dug.
“Nothing here either.”
Over an hour later, Little Warrior climbed out of the hole, sat by the edge, swung her little legs, took out the treasure map, and under the moonlight, marked an ‘X’ on the corresponding coordinate spot.
“So that means there’s only one suspicious spot left.”
Putting away the treasure map, Little Warrior picked up her iron shovel and headed toward the next coordinate location.
More than ten minutes later, she took out the treasure map again to check the coordinates, then began digging a hole in the grass.
Dirt flew everywhere as a large pit gradually formed.
Ding!
Suddenly, a metallic clang was heard.
“It’s a Treasure Chest!” Little Warrior excitedly pulled a chest out from the bottom of the pit.
“Lots of random stuff here. Well, I’ll just take it all back and store it for now! This treasure map quest is finished. After going back, I’ll start the next quest. Ah, why does this town have so many quests? When will I finish them all and leave?”
Little Warrior opened the Treasure Chest. Inside were piles of books, scrolls, equipment, gems, and all sorts of things. Little Warrior took a quick look, then decisively stuffed everything into her backpack. She began climbing out of the pit, sighed as she looked at the many unfinished quests she had accepted.
