These things are what the Black Fog Death God itself dropped. What made Ye Chen the happiest was the double experience.

At this time, Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi rushed over together.
"Chen, are you okay?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I'm fine!"
Zhu Qiang looked at the already dead Black Fog Death God and exclaimed, "Chen, you're amazing; you took down the Black Fog Death God with just one strike. I really admire you!"
Just then, the Blood Asura began to change. She knelt on one knee, her hands pressing on the ground to support her body, and a pair of small blood-colored bone wings grew from her back.
"Blood Asura, is this evolution?"
Zhu Qiang asked in surprise.
Ye Chen nodded.
After a while, the Blood Asura stood up again and floated into the air, her speed significantly increased.
It seems that these Blood Wings have improved Blood Asura's speed.
Ye Chen looked at the loot on the ground and said, "Gather these things up; let's find a place to rest for the night."
The sky was gradually getting dark, and it was already 7 PM.
Luckily, it was summer, so it got dark a bit later.
The three quickly found a rather decent-looking villa to enter.
They locked the door from the inside.
Ye Chen worried that the lights would attract those monsters, so after drawing all the curtains, he turned on the lights.
Fortunately, the electrical wiring wasn't damaged here. The three sat on the living room sofa, and Zhu Qiang poured out the collected loot.
There weren't many things, and the three took what they needed.
Zhu Qiang rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm a bit hungry."
Then Zhu Qiang got up and searched the villa, thankfully finding quite a bit of food.
After the three ate and drank, they lay on the sofa.
The Beauty Snake nestled in Lin Nuoyi's arms, while the Piggy Dragon, however, stayed by the Blood Asura's side.
It occasionally hummed a few times at the Blood Asura. At this moment, Ye Chen remembered the Scythe of Death he had obtained earlier, so he took it out.
This scythe was suitable for Dark Attribute pets, which matched Blood Asura perfectly.
Though the Thunder Shocking Blade had a higher grade, it was not suitable for Blood Asura.
The moment Blood Asura saw the Scythe of Death, her eyes lit up instantly.
Then the Blood Asura quickly came to Ye Chen, grabbing the Scythe of Death at once.
Holding the Scythe of Death, she couldn't put it down, playing with it fondly as she floated in the air, swinging the Scythe of Death around.
Her expression involuntarily smiled, evidently very satisfied with the Scythe of Death.
She threw the Thunder Shocking Blade she used before to Ye Chen, her expression even carrying a bit of disdain.
Ye Chen couldn't help but feel helpless; she really is a fickle creature.
After a day of battle, the group was already exhausted, lying on the sofa, and soon fell asleep.
The three little ones also slowly drifted into dreamland.
At eight the next morning, Ye Chen was awakened by a buzzing noise.
As he opened his eyes, he fuzzily saw a figure in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, it was Lin Nuoyi. Seeing Ye Chen awake, she smiled and said.
"Awake?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yeah, we were so tired that we slept a bit long."
Zhu Qiang also woke up at this time, rubbing his eyes, he said, "You all woke up quite early."
He yawned, still looking sleepy.
Lin Nuoyi opened the Monster Chat Room and said to the two, "Come and take a look, there's a new announcement in the chat room."
The two looked over, and it turned out to be a new announcement.
[After killing a monster, some monster corpses may contain a Monster Core. Do not discard it. The chat room has an NPC Shop, where the core can be recycled for Gold Coins, which can be used to exchange for items in the shop.]
"Damn! Why do I suddenly feel like I've lost a billion!"
Zhu Qiang shouted loudly.
The monster corpses they killed yesterday were all left at the scene, indeed containing a strange pearl.
However, without any indication that it was loot, the group did not pay attention to it.
Thinking back now, they felt very regretful.
However, Ye Chen didn't care much, as he had the System Shop.
Are the items in the System Shop not better than those in the chat room?
Just as Zhu Qiang was lamenting the loss, Lin Nuoyi suddenly said, "It looks like in the future, we not only have to watch out for monsters but also for humans."
Lin Nuoyi pointed out the key point with one sentence.
With the existence of the core, it is inevitable that some people will engage in robbery and murder.
Zhu Qiang's mind was a bit slow and hadn't caught on yet.
Ye Chen said, "Indeed, it seems we need to be more cautious in the future."
Zhu Qiang immediately understood the situation and couldn't help but curse, "What kind of scheme is the Monster Chat Room trying to pull, making us stronger or have us kill each other!"
Ye Chen said coldly, "Whatever the scheme, we must be more careful in the future."
"Let's go. I checked the chat room shop earlier; there are quite a few things that can enhance our strength, but they require too many Gold Coins. Now, let's go out and continue hunting monsters to improve our abilities."
The two nodded in agreement.
Then, Ye Chen led the way out of the villa.
"Stop eating! Let's go!"
Zhu Qiang tapped the Piggy Dragon's head, which was eating last night's leftovers.
Piggy Dragon hummed and took another bite before following the three out of the villa.
Outside the villa, there weren't many monsters left.
Ye Chen didn't even glance at some low-level monsters. To quickly improve, they had to hunt advanced monsters.
After all, advanced monsters give more experience, drop more items, and the Gold Coins exchanged for cores are also more.
More crucially, hunting low-level monsters would reduce the team's combat experience rather than increase it.
Ye Chen said, "Where do we go next?"
Lin Nuoyi glanced at the Monster Chat Room and said, "Someone before dying mentioned a rare LV7 monster appearing to the south at Meridian Lake. Should we go there?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Alright, an LV7 monster would suit us just fine."
Without much hesitation, the three headed straight for Meridian Lake.
What Ye Chen and his people didn't know was that, due to the appearance of the NPC Shop in the chat room, numerous forces had already taken root and risen in this area.
Meanwhile.
With the emergence of the NPC Shop, everyone activated a new feature.
This is the ability to see each other's basic information, designed for better inter-human conflict.
