Chapter 153
Karnel’s PoV:
The Grand Plains. One of the most famous landmarks on the continent...despite there being nothing here. Normally, one could see the majestic plains where peaceful animals and monsters were living...yet now, there is only green moss stretching towards the horizon.
Yamatai Grand Festival
Event 3-A:Plains of MossEvent Description:
The remnants of the Disaster of Life are being removed with incredible speed thanks to the contribution of the populace of the Wakoku country. However, not everything is back to normal.
Give a hand and remove the Ghast Moss from the Grand Plains of Luxuria.
Event Content:Acquire Prize Points of 10,000 or more during this event to advance.Obtain Prize Points by trading them for Ghast Moss obtain from the Grand Plains.[Bonus]: Ghastly Grandmoss Monsters have been witnessed due to the grand amount of Ghast Moss. Defeat it for extra Prize Points.
This Ghast Moss, which started to infest the plains at an alarming rate due to the effects of the remaining lifeforce left behind by the Disaster of Life, is preventing normal monsters from returning to the Plain even after the Disaster was pushed back. The Moss is an important ingredient for MP-recovering potions, but it is lacking in nutrients, so monsters and animals cannot live on them.
This is bad on several levels. To take one of the many examples for why it is important, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Bloodrush Bulls. They are nomadic bovines that are a bit of a handful to take care of, so people would rather let them thrive here on the plains which they prefer over any other place on the continent.
I continued to scoop up patches of moss with my Earth Magic and placed them on the plates of rock that I used for transport. After I had collected a decent amount, I used [Earth Manipulation] to pull the plates back to the event supervisors. They gathered the moss I had brought and then gave me the Prize Points and bounty for it.
Yes, there is a bounty on the moss. The emperor of Wakoku has placed a bounty on the moss so people would follow the law that prevents its destruction. Obtaining money and Points at the same time, did I perhaps take the luckiest event?
I have amassed over 3,000 Points already, and I am just halfway into the first day. The other contenders seem to be struggling. They do not have any terrain-manipulating skills, so they simply harvest the moss with swords or scythes, like they are wheat. The moss is big enough to reach an adult’s knees, so they are not so wrong in their method...
