The main income from the Mermaid Lake came from two places.
One was the loot exploded from nearly a hundred elite monsters, the other was a black iron treasure chest discovered in the Merfolk Tribe.
During the time Dean McKenzie was watering, he had opened all the loot and the chest.
Most of the elite monsters' loots came in pairs, while a few only had one.
For those that came in pairs, one was always a silver coin, and for those that had only one, well, it was the silver coin.
So, from nearly a hundred elite monsters, Dean McKenzie picked up nearly a hundred shining spots of silver coins.
The lesser ones had two or three, the more one had seven or eight.
In total, Dean McKenzie picked up more than five hundred, which roughly compensated for the cost of leveling up the Meditation skill.
Dean McKenzie currently had 20 gold coins left.
Having spent about 2 gold coins, Dean McKenzie could still afford a house, on the premise that he would not enhance other skills.
