Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Honey Formula-1

There were more than 100 Steel Wasps, does she still need to worry about not having enough Honey?

What made her laugh was, that these Steel Wasps weren’t as hostile as the first batch of the Steel Wasps she had encountered earlier.

Su Jiyai gave a small nod. “Alright, let’s go.”

The Queen Steel Wasps and other steel wasps nodded.

With a wave of her hand, the system released a sleeping gas and soon the Queen Steel Wasps and other Steel Wasps fell asleep.

Before sleeping the Queen Steel Wasps asked Su Jiyai to find her a treasure.

Su Jiyai promised that she would try her best to find it.

[Storing all the Steel Wasps…Storing completed.]

Su Jiyai asked curiously,

“System can living beings be placed in the inventory too?”

[It depends on the host.]

“Huh?”

[Rather than being concerned about the fact whether living beings can be stored in the inventory or not you should worry whether you can provide the necessary energy to store all the items.]

Su Jiyai’s eyes narrowed and she asked,

“Wait! Do you mean that storing items requires my energy?”

[Yes host.]

“Was this the reason why I fainted in the penalty world only after not sleeping for 48 hours?”

[Partially yes.]

Su Jiyai gave up the idea formed in her mind.

She was planning to store an expert from her world and take them with her to a different dimension-hunting session.

But if her energy is used for storing then that idea wasn’t feasible.

Su Jiyai returned to the lush green grass area and with the help of the system she stored the grass and flowers in her space inventory.

She also specially stored the soil, mud, and different flowers to ensure she wasn’t missing out on anything.

Primary ingredients were collected and now was the time to collect all the auxiliary items.

“Now tell me where can I get the rest of the herbs for processing the honey? Where are they found and how long could I stay in this dimension?” Su Jiyai asked hurriedly.

[Host, you have approximately 72 hours left in this dimension. The remaining herbs you need are scattered across various regions. The most important ones can be found in the Misty Forest, the Crystal Caverns, and the Silver River.]

[Ding! A mission has been generated! Find the 7 herbs required to process the herbs. Found (0/7). Reward: Processed Honey formula.]

Su Jiyai was surprised by the system’s sudden prompt.

This was the first time the system had initiated a mission on its own in a different world.

(According to Su Jiyai’s understanding penalty world was different.)

“System you didn’t have the formula for processed Honey?” Su Jiyai asked.

[No host. Originally you should have paid 10 million points for the recipe. However, now you can get it for free.]

A wave of happiness washed over Su Jiyai.

10 million points!

As long as she found all the herbs, which she was going to do anyhow, she could save 10 million points!

Her luck wasn’t bad!

Su Jiyai quickly reviewed the information provided by the system.

“System, can you give me a detailed map of the dimensions highlighting the locations of the herbs?”

[Of course, Host. Generating a map… Done. Here are the locations of the Misty Forest, the Crystal Caverns, and the Silver River, along with the specific herbs you need to collect in each area.]

A translucent map appeared in front of Su Jiyai, marking the locations of the necessary herbs.

Even though she ended up in a dimension filled with hidden dangers, all the positions marked on the map can be reached within 2 hours.

“Alright, let’s head to the Misty Forest first.”

Su Jiyai began her journey, moving quickly through the lush greenery.

As she approached the Misty Forest, the air grew cooler, and a faint fog began to envelop the area.

The trees were tall and twisted, their leaves casting eerie shadows on the ground.

“System, what herbs should I be looking for here?”

[Host, in the Misty Forest, you need to find the Ghostroot, a rare plant that glows faintly in the dark. It’s usually found near the base of the oldest trees, hidden among the roots. The second herb is the Shadowleaf, which grows on the highest branches, absorbing the mist in the air. Be careful, there are many powerful beasts in this region.]

“Okay.”

The fog around her thickened as she delved deeper, making it harder to see more than a few feet ahead.

Every rustle of leaves or distant growl made her grip her rolling pin tighter, ready to defend herself if needed.

“System, how close am I to the Ghostroot?” Su Jiyai whispered, her eyes scanning the ground.

[Host, you’re very close. The Ghostroot is usually located near the oldest trees, and there’s one just ahead. Be on alert; there’s a strong beast guarding the area.]

“Of course there is,” Su Jiyai muttered.

How could a treasure not be guarded by some powerful beast?

Thank god she had saved the beast taming potion and could sprinkle it on the beast.

As she approached the towering ancient tree, she noticed a faint glow near its base, partially obscured by large roots.

The Ghostroot. But before she could reach it, a low growl rumbled through the air.

Emerging from the shadows was a massive, wolf-like creature with glowing red eyes and thick, dark fur that blended perfectly with the forest shadows.

Its sharp teeth were bared as it positioned itself between Su Jiyai and the Ghostroot.

“System, what is that thing?”

[It’s a wolf.]

Su Jiyai: “…” Why are you still in the mood to joke around?

“System…I mean what that thing is? What beast it is?”

[Host, that is a Shadow Wolf, one of the strongest predators in the Misty Forest. It guards the Ghostroot, feeding off its energy. ]

This wasn’t going to be as simple as she initially thought.

“System, should I use the beast-taming potion on this wolf?” she asked, considering her options.

[Host, the beast-taming potion might work, but it’s not guaranteed. The Shadow Wolf is a strong and proud creature; it may resist the effects.]

She slowly uncorked the vial and sprinkled the potion onto the ground in front of the wolf. The Shadow Wolf sniffed the air, its glowing red eyes narrowing as it detected the potion.

For a tense moment, Su Jiyai held her breath, waiting to see how the wolf would react.

The wolf approached the potion cautiously, sniffing the ground where it had been sprinkled.

Maybe the potion had an alluring smell, and the wolf’s guards relaxed a little.

It hesitated, then lowered its head and began to lap at the potion. Su Jiyai watched closely, hoping for the best.

After a few moments, the wolf’s posture relaxed slightly, and its glowing eyes softened. It no longer seemed as aggressive, though it still watched her warily.

“System, did it work?” Su Jiyai whispered.

[Host, the potion has had an effect, but the Shadow Wolf is not fully tamed.

Su Jiyai nodded.

It wasn’t a complete success, but at least the wolf wasn’t trying to attack her anymore.

She slowly approached the Ghostroot, keeping a watchful eye on the wolf as she moved.

The Shadow Wolf remained where it was, its eyes following her movements but not making any aggressive gestures.

Su Jiyai quickly dug up the Ghostroot, making sure to keep the roots intact.

As she stored the herb in her inventory, she gave the wolf a small nod of acknowledgment.

“Thank you for letting me take this,” she said softly, not expecting a response but feeling it was the right thing to do.

[Ding! Congratulations host for obtaining (1/7) herbs.]

The wolf tilted its head slightly as if understanding her words, but it made no move to stop her.

Satisfied, Su Jiyai began to climb the ancient tree to reach the Shadowleaf.

As she ascended, the mist around her thickened, and the tree branches became more twisted and tangled.

Along the way, her skin was cut from the rough tree surface but Su Jiyai didn’t stop.

When doing a mission, one should completely shut off their pain senses. Even if you feel any pain ignore it.

This was the training that Su Jiyai had received in the military and she followed it very seriously.

Finally, she spotted the dark, mist-covered leaves of the Shadowleaf high up in the tree. Carefully, she plucked the leaves and stored them in her inventory.

With both herbs from the Misty Forest secured, Su Jiyai climbed back down and glanced at the Shadow Wolf one last time.

The wolf had returned to its resting spot near the tree, watching her silently.

“System, let’s move on to the next location—the Crystal Caverns,” Su Jiyai said, ready to continue her mission.

[Understood, Host. The Crystal Caverns are to the west.]

Su Jiyai picked up many flowers and herbs along the way. She didn’t forget to remind the system to tell her if they came across any useful plants or herbs.
