The "Puki's House" inn was especially quiet after nightfall. Bianca had already gone back to take care of her mother, leaving Dylan to sit alone behind the counter, slowly reviewing the accounts by the light of an oil lamp.
On the surface, he was checking the income and expenses, but in reality, he was reporting the recent progress to Lin Jun through the Fungal Network:
"Today I went to the Guild to ask about the bounty mission at the Scarecrow Abyss. The bounty has been raised to 800 gold coins, but there still seems to be no progress.
I heard that there have been many accidents there recently, and the adventurers are exploring new strategies for dealing with it, unable to delve deeper for now.
However, there has been some progress in acquiring the corpses of the other two types of demons.
The Electric Rat task has been taken, and the bounty for the Earth Bear has been completed. The bear's corpse has been preserved, and it will take some time to transport it here."
