Qin Hua sighed and tossed everything that was scattered on the ground in front of her back into the pouch or into her inventory space, even the dirty pieces of loin cloth.

5 coins was too much for her to ignore after all.

She really wanted to know more about the properties of these items and what made them so valuable, but there was nothing she could do about that right now.

So she closed her inventory and quickly opened the shop menu.

[Purchase low grade cleansing potion!]

A small vial appeared in her hand, similar to the vial that contained health potion. Somehow this only cost 200 coins while the health potion cost 1000 coins.

Qin Hua didn’t think too much about it because the health potion was simply too valuable as it could restore the complete health in an instant.

Not many items could probably compare to it but that didn’t mean that this one was less valuable. 

She grinned, looking at the small vial and then quickly tossed its contents into her mouth.

1 second… 2 second…

Qin Hua waited for something to happen, maybe something like what happened when she evolved. A few more seconds passed but nothing changed. She felt completely normal.

[Hmmm…] 

She tapped her paw for a few more minutes and then eventually walked out to meet with the others. Now that they had plenty of weapons, they needed to go out and hunt again! The sooner the better!

Qin Hua did not notice it but as she walked out, there were oily grimy paw prints on the floor behind her. In fact, her entire body had slowly started to drip out a pungent black liquid.

Everyone immediately turned to look at her as the bad smell was very pronounced and it was unmistakably radiating from her and when Qin Hua noticed it too, it was already too late.

“Eh? Little white, are you alright?” Lu Chen worriedly walked over to her even though she was stinking like dried fish and rotten egg blended together.

Qin Hua blinked and stared back dumbfoundedly at him. 

She didn’t know how to respond to him because while she was stinking and oozing black oil, she was also coincidentally viewing a new set of notifications.

[Ehhhh? Ehhhh? So amazing!!!] Lu Chen was worriedly looking at her, but Qin Hua’s eyes were full of sparkles. 

She checked out all the notifications several times, making sure not to miss any and then grinned, revealing her sharp deadly canines.

Everyone felt a cold shiver running down their spines and quickly looked away.

Qin Hua was not insulted by this. In fact, she very much liked their reaction. She grinned contently and took out 9 daggers from her inventory, clattering them all on the ground.

Luckily she was able to place the pouch in the inventory so that worked out well for her, not requiring her to tie it around her neck or do anything else  that would be inconvenient.

“What is all this, little white?” Lu Chen curiously asked, not in the least surprised by this sudden mount of weapons and Qin Hua kicked one of the better looking daggers towards him, answering his question.

She then used her other paw to side kick another dagger towards Guan Ye and started walking out of the apartment complex, hoping that they would have got the message by now and would follow her.

Lu Chen stared at the dagger at his feet and shifted his gaze to look at the dog waiting for him. Her figure was now comparatively smaller than her previous proportions.

How was little white able to shrink her body? He shrugged and chuckled as this was the least of his concern. He decided to not question anything at the moment and simply go with the flow.

He took the dagger in his hand, immediately feeling the sharp coldness of the steel. It felt as light as air.

Without even knowing what it was, he could tell that it was a good weapon perhaps like the fancy Katanas used by Japanese warriors or even better than that.

Near him, Guan Ye had also picked up the dagger and was examining it keenly. 

Lu Chen was more used to fighting with his ice magic but since Guan Ye primarily depended on hand to hand combat, he appreciated the dagger a lot more.

He swung it around a few times and instantly replaced his current kitchen knives with the dagger.

The two of them looked at each other, nodding in silent agreement.

Following their actions, everyone else as well bravely stepped forward to pick up their respective weapons.

“Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait a second guys. Are we heading out now? It’s dark right? Shouldn’t be safer to keep watch and rest for the night and head out tomorrow morning?” Luo Zu nervously mumbled.

The others also had similar opinions but they were too nervous and scared to speak out. Only one of the five newcomers openly supported Luo Zu and added. “Ya, I also think that would be… umm… better.”

Lu Chen had already walked over to Su Yan and was trying to figure out how to keep him safe while they moved and hunted, so it was Alex who replied this time. “We have to keep hunting. Otherwise we will fall behind.”
