Warrior Pot Shard and Friendly Pot

With its green grass, flowers, and peaceful atmosphere, even though it's a cemetery, it doesn't feel dangerous.

Looking around, the cemetery hidden behind the room has been transformed into a home for pots, which are piled up everywhere.

However, apart from the few Little Pot that circled the flowers, the only other pot that could actually move was the Warrior Pot that Leon and his companions had just rescued.

This peaceful scene shouldn't exist in the Zane Dungeon at all; the difference in style from the sinister and disgusting place before is too great.

"What are they doing?"

Malu glanced back at the Warrior Pot, which simply waved slowly, signaling them to go inside.

With Jia Paer by my side, there's no need to worry about whether this place is a carefully disguised trap; I can just go in without any worries.

Being invited into a monster's home is a truly novel experience.

She cautiously approached the Little Pot, glancing back at the Warrior Pot as she went, but the latter did not stop her.

"They really won't attack us." As soon as Malu approached the Little Pot, they made a new move.

A few Little Pot merely glanced at her—or perhaps just looked at her? Since pots don't have eyes, it's hard to be sure—and then continued circling the flower, while others circled her in circles. Was this some kind of welcoming ceremony?

Malu was surprised that there were monsters here that didn't attack people, and she also sensed a childlike innocence from the Little Pot.

It even feels kind of cute.

"Malu, be careful." Leon was still a little worried. He looked at the tombstones, worried that Skeleton Monster might suddenly crawl out from inside, after all, this had happened before.

But upon closer inspection of the tombstones, it becomes clear that these graves have been dug up, and the skeletons inside have long been dismantled.

It was probably the work of that big guy.

Leon gave his companions a wink, and they immediately understood that he was telling them to stay alert.

He then looked at Jia Paer, but the latter was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought, as if to say: I'm only responsible for killing people.

In the end, he had no choice but to walk up to the Warrior Pot, just about to ask why they had been invited in.

At that moment, the Warrior Pot suddenly tapped inside the crack in his body and handed him a point of light.

"A thank-you gift? Thank you." Leon took it and glanced at it:

[Warrior Pot Shard]

The fragments are covered with small pieces of corpse; these are spiritual items dropped by the wounded Warrior Pot. Don't expect the Warrior Pot to drop more.

[Slightly increases the attack power of Weapon Skill when equipped]

Slightly increase the attack power of Weapon Skill?

The simple and unpretentious introduction has produced an amazing effect.

How much of a slight improvement is this? Can it compare to Mid Rank berserker spell? No, even if it's slightly inferior, it doesn't matter. After all, being able to wear such a thing is equivalent to having a spell permanently stationed on your body, which brings great strategic value.

Leon was truly surprised to receive such a thank-you gift; he wanted to thank Warrior Pot.

Is this also part of the plan for the Zane Dungeon?

After receiving the gift, it seems everything is fine now. If everything is fine, then they can continue their exploration.

Unexpectedly, the Warrior Pot stopped him and then took out a stone slab covered in blood and flesh from his body and handed it to him.

"."

Leon looked at the increasingly large cracks on the other person's body and wondered if they were really alright.

The softened flesh and blood kept flowing out, and it seemed impossible to stop it. Perhaps something could be used to plug it?

He took the stone tablet, which was engraved with unreadable characters. Fortunately, a line of floating magical characters appeared before his eyes as a translation.

Pot Maintenance Master is really a difficult job, but luckily my hands are smooth enough, and the pots like me very much, so I will definitely keep going.

The number of Warrior's bodies is dwindling, and there are still bad guys eyeing Pot Village. Perhaps I should lead everyone to escape to another place, somewhere undisturbed, preferably with enough corpses. I discovered a cemetery earlier; perhaps we could settle there.

[I've lost count of how long we've lived in the cemetery, but the pots really like it here.]

I made a huge mistake. This graveyard is not peaceful. The abyss has silently eroded this place, and the monsters are becoming increasingly ferocious. We can no longer return to the surface. Even the warehouse is surrounded by monsters, and the roads are teeming with them. But the materials needed for the Vijay Pot are all inside. What should we do?

[The cracks on Carl's body are multiplying; this can't go on. I have to go to the warehouse. I can't just watch Carl shatter. Erdtree, please protect me.]

The inscription on the stone slab was never followed up, and the fate of this "Pot Maintenance Master" was predictable.

They moved to the cemetery to escape bad guys, but ended up in even greater danger. What a sad story.

So.

Leon looked up at the Warrior Pot and asked, "What do you want us to do?"

This Warrior Pot is the only one in the entire tomb with cracks on his body; perhaps he is Carl?

Warrior Pot didn't speak. He pointed to the words "warehouse" and "materials needed for maintenance" on the stone slab, his request was self-evident.

Oh, so they asked us to find the materials needed to repair the kettle.

Although it might be seen as greed, Leon still asked, "After you find it, can you give us something similar?" He was referring to the Warrior Pot Shard.

The Warrior Pot swayed back and forth, then raised his hand and drew a large circle in the air, as if to say that he could give something better.

Excellent! With rewards, adventurers will be motivated!

He checked the information with the Warrior Pot again. They didn't know where the warehouse was, but it was definitely not far from here. They could find it if they put their mind to it.

It sounds a bit far-fetched, but Leon remembers the stone tablet saying that the road to the warehouse is crowded with monsters, so he should just find out which road has the most monsters.

He turned around to call Malu back, but saw her bend over—

Pick the Yellow Wildflower that the Little Pot were surrounding.

It was just an ordinary action, but Leon suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if Malu had done something she shouldn't have.

Seeing their beloved wildflowers being picked, the Little Pot were all stunned, standing there as if they had lost their souls. It was heartbreaking to see them like this.

Not far away, beside the graves piled with pots, several large pots were swaying precariously, as if they were about to rise from the ground at any moment!

Malu seemed oblivious to all of this, smiling as she placed a wildflower on the head of one of the Little Pot circling around her, praising, "So beautiful."

The Little Pot looked at Malu, then at its dejected companion, and seemed a little lost.

"Malu, come back!"

Leon immediately shouted, but at that moment, Malu took out a magic scroll from her waist, tore it open, and scattered it into the air.

The scroll instantly transformed into a shower of light. As each streak of light struck the ground, flowers identical to Yellow Wildflower bloomed in those places, covering the graves in a short instant. Now the graves resembled a park even more than before, brimming with life and beauty.

The style of this graveyard is completely out of place in the Zane Dungeon.

This time, not only Leon was stunned, but even the large pots that had just started to stir stopped.

"What are you doing?" Delu said, a little upset. "Giving you a magic scroll isn't such a waste."

"I see they love flowers so much, but it's pitiful that they only surround one," Malu shrugged. "Don't worry, I just used some cheap flower-blooming magic."

Although Leon wanted to complain about why the other party would carry around useless blooming magic, he noticed that the Little Pot were jumping up and down happily, waving their arms and legs around Malu.

Okay, does this mean I've maxed out the Little Pot's favorability?

The Little Pot was excited, and the Warrior Pot was excited too. He took out one item after another from the pot next to him and stuffed them into Leon's hands, such as [Hero Meat Chunk], [Raw Meatball], [Healthy Jerky], etc., so many that he could hardly hold them all.

Malu's unintentional act of kindness has earned her so many rewards; it feels like she could tell others about it to educate children.

As the group left the graveyard where the pots had lived, they were given a send-off by the pots themselves. Each person was adorned with a wreath made of Yellow Wildflower, all handmade by the Little Pot.

No wonder the description says that the Warrior Pot are all cute guys.

Malu touched the flower wreath and smiled brightly, as if all the torment and pressure she had just suffered in the Roguelike had been released.

"I didn't expect there to be events in the Zane Dungeon," Leon said. "I was wondering why other dungeons had events but Sien didn't, and I thought it was part of its unique feature."

The so-called "events" are things that appear in most dungeons.

Each underground level has its own backstory, and correspondingly, events will appear in the dungeon that correspond to the backstory. These events might involve a remnant spirit asking you to find something, or you might need to find items to solve a puzzle; there are various forms of such events.

Simply put, they are side quests.

Gong Qiying learned about these things through the Knowledge Crystal, and thus added a simple side quest called Warrior Pot.

Why is it considered simple? Because the warehouse and the jar's settlement are not far apart, and they can be found quickly. The only difficulty lies in the fact that there is an Elite Monsters in the warehouse.

Of course, you can skip the side quests if you don't want to do them, and you can also skip fighting Elite Monsters, but the rewards will be less.

However, these monsters blocking the road are no match for the Strategy Team.

They quickly found the repair materials and returned to the Warrior Pot, their efficiency was astonishing.

After receiving the repair materials, the Warrior Pot remained silent.

"Do you need my help?" Malu asked kindly.

The other party waved his hand and handed over the reward for this mission.

[Warrior Pot Shard]

[Increases Weapon Skill attack power when equipped]

It looks like a better alternative to the [Warrior Pot Shard]. This reward is pretty good.

But besides this, there is another amulet.

[Friendly Pot]

[Wearing this will give you more power when throwing the pot.]

[The charms given by the Jar Folk to their friends can enhance the power of throwing pots. The Jar Folk use human flesh and blood as their life source, but they are inherently very kind. Perhaps that kindness is the reason they were born.]

Upon seeing the item description, both hands reached for the amulet simultaneously.

It's Malu and Leon!

Their eyes met, each radiating an unyielding spirit, both seemingly determined to obtain the Friendly Pot.

"I gave them flowers, so I'm the pot's friend." Malu held onto the Friendly Pot tightly.

"I need this too," Leon said, gripping Malu's wrist. The Dung Pie at his waist seemed to be a reminder that he absolutely had to get the amulet.

They both said in unison, "Let's roll the dice!"

In the end, Malu won.

Leon watched with reluctance as the Friendly Pot was taken away, and a Little Pot handed him a small flower, as if to comfort him.

His lips twitched slightly, and he forced a smile as he accepted the flowers.

And so, the [Event] was declared complete, and the Strategy Team was once again seen off by all the Warrior Pot. The Warrior Pot even thoughtfully pointed out the next exploration path for them.

Following this road downwards, Execute countless demons, the group finally arrived at the Fog Gate.

Behind this is the leader of this road, probably either Death Knight or Calling Ship, because the feeling emanating from it isn't very strong, so it shouldn't be Death Rite Bird.

After all, the latter has a deliberate weakening mechanism, so it must be quite powerful.

Delu was chanting incantations, casting Buff Magic for everyone. Jia Paer couldn't wait to go in and fight the monsters. Just then, a summoning mark suddenly appeared in front of the Fog Gate.

[Summon the assistant "Warrior Pot Carl"?]
