Sustainable Living Gemstone Vein

The Gem Bugs each had their own attributes, and each one's attributes varied. After several rounds of target practice, Xiao Yang's Elemental Resistance for each element had improved.

Finally, the Weak Fire Elemental Resistance obtained from Red Logan's Great Horn was integrated with these miscellaneous new Elemental Resistances, becoming a more general and comprehensive term.

Elemental Resistance (Weak)

Weak Fire Elemental Resistance was integrated into All Elemental Resistance (Weak). It was hard to say whether this was a gain or a loss, but undoubtedly, All Elemental Resistance had greater versatility. The damage from these Gem Bugs' energy blasts to Xiao Yang decreased by ten percent.

Any improvement was a good thing, but it hurt. The Gem Bugs' beam attacks were too fast to dodge. Xiao Yang only had time to turn around before being hit hard by one.

When these thick beams hit Xiao Yang, especially on his backside, it felt like a doctor giving you a flu shot in the butt when you had a cold, except it was a super-thick version with a super-thick needle.

Each blast made Xiao Yang cry out in pain. The experience was indescribable. He always felt that his Player life in the God Game wasn't what he had imagined. Shouldn't it be about adventure, rewards, and seeing different scenery?

Why was he spending his days in dark dungeons, battling wits with strange creatures and enduring bizarre injuries?

Lying behind a large rock, Xiao Yang wore a look of utter despair. At this moment, the World Membrane Fragment (Health) began to work. His Health surged upwards, and soon, Xiao Yang was back to full health, bouncing around as if nothing had happened.

With his condition fully restored, Xiao Yang leaped out from behind the large rock.

In any case, having paid such a painful price, Xiao Yang was determined to conquer this Gemstone Mine and all the Gem Bugs. Otherwise, his suffering would have been in vain!

Xiao Yang was already enraged by the energy beams. He charged towards the Gemstone Mine once more. As he entered the mine, all the Gem Bugs finally dimmed. Their accumulated energy was completely depleted, and now it was Xiao Yang's turn!

Facing Xiao Yang's attacks, the energy-depleted Gem Bugs curled up. They suddenly looked like actual gemstones, incredibly beautiful.

But Xiao Yang, who had been tormented and angered for a long time, didn't care. He fiercely swung Justice's Condolence, striking the Gem Bugs' hard shells heavily. Then, Xiao Yang was stunned because he realized he wasn't dealing any damage.

Unwilling to give up so easily, Xiao Yang swung Justice's Condolence again and again. After several blows, his hands were sore, but no damage numbers appeared. Clearly, an unexpected change had occurred. Xiao Yang cast Probe Skill on the Gem Bugs again.

As expected, the situation he least wanted to face had arisen.

[Gem Bug (Gemstone State) Special Creature Traits: Gemstone Healing, Energy Convergence, Hard Shell State, Energy Immunity Description: Perhaps you could try tapping these large gems with a pickaxe.]

Xiao Yang was dumbfounded. Did these Gem Bugs have a defensive stance? This was the first time Xiao Yang had encountered monsters with two forms. Or perhaps they weren't monsters. These Gem Bugs, with their "Special Creature" designation, were indeed peculiar in every way.

But Xiao Yang was dumbfounded.

The bad news was that he was completely helpless against these Gem Bugs in their Gemstone State. The good news was that he could practice his Elemental Resistance again.

Silence. A brief silence. At this point, there was clearly no other option for now, so he had to accept it.

He remembered the description: "try tapping these large gems with a pickaxe." But Xiao Yang didn't have a pickaxe. He struck the largest, most dazzling Ruby in front of him with Justice's Condolence. Nothing happened. Perhaps he needed to pick on the weaker ones.

Xiao Yang found the smallest Gem Bug among them. Most of the other Gem Bugs were about the size of a basketball, with the largest red one being the size of a millstone. The one Xiao Yang chose was only apple-sized, a green Gem Bug. Xiao Yang fiercely struck the coiled green Gem Bug. A red number popped up.

Xiao Yang dealt five damage. He could actually break through the defense of this small one. However, the moment the damage appeared, a green number followed, restoring five Health. The damage Xiao Yang dealt was instantly healed.

But Xiao Yang refused to believe it and continued to strike them one after another. After a while, amidst the constant back-and-forth of red and green numbers, the green Gem Bug couldn't take it anymore. It suddenly shook its body, and a piece of its shell fell off, landing in front of Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang was stunned by this sight. He picked up the shell that had fallen from the green Gem Bug.

[Pure Green Gemstone (Small) Quality: Excellent Description: This is a particularly precious Pure Green Gemstone among green gemstones.]

Wait! What was going on? Were these Gem Bugs some kind of mobile gemstone mine that could be continuously harvested?

As he pondered, Xiao Yang finally began to understand the significance of the "Special" tag under Special Creature.

If that were the case, how were these Gem Bugs different from mobile money printers? No wonder the God Game's description mentioned they were "very expensive."

Good heavens, Xiao Yang felt like he was about to strike it rich.

To verify his guess, Xiao Yang picked another small Gem Bug and started hitting it. After a flurry of blows, Xiao Yang obtained another Pure Purple Gemstone (Small). At that moment, Xiao Yang's eyes lit up as he looked at the Gem Bugs.

"Good stuff, these Gem Bugs are all good stuff," Xiao Yang exclaimed, stroking the largest Gem Bug, which was the size of a millstone.

But while he exclaimed, perhaps because the pain from the recent beating was still lingering and profound, as he stroked the millstone-sized Gem Bug, joy and murderous intent flashed across Xiao Yang's face.

After all, it was the head of this largest red Gem Bug that had brutally beaten Xiao Yang just now!

Xiao Yang's emotions were complex. If anyone were to ask Xiao Yang for his current feelings, the answer would likely be "pain and pleasure"!
