Enchanting Table Containing the 'Great Dao'

Crazy Dave's Backyard.

Shen Jin was reinforcing the surrounding wall inside, while Yang Ao patrolled outside the wall.

The super-evolved zombie from the lab had brought Shen Jin a considerable sense of crisis.

This kind of wall wouldn't be able to stop that zombie at all.

With its charge and corrosive abilities, it could quickly create a gap in this 1-meter thick stone wall.

For this reinforcement, Shen Jin raised the wall's height to 8 meters and its thickness to 3 meters.

Only then could 'Crazy Dave's Backyard' become a truly safe territory.

This was a massive undertaking!

Shen Jin used almost all the stone blocks he had collected from digging.

The area he was in was a low-lying part of Q City, with mostly usable farmland below, so there weren't many stones.

After using up all the stone blocks this time, Shen Jin planned to go to the ancestral mountain in the suburbs of Q City to dig for some.

He set a small goal: to dig a mountain first.

"Hey! Are there any mutated zombies?"

Shen Jin stood on the wall, watching Yang Ao staring intently ahead with a nervous expression, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, they're here!"

Yang Ao, clad in iron armor, held a sword in one hand, with another iron sword trailing behind him, glowing with a bloody light.

From the hay pile ahead, a zombie suddenly darted out, running on all fours with incredible speed!

A Jumping Zombie!

Yang Ao had no defenses around him, nor Shen Jin's ranged support, but he remained calm, not even switching to his energy iron sword.

The Jumping Zombie leaped, choosing to pounce directly on its prey.

Its mouth opened wide in mid-air, revealing dark teeth and a decaying mouth.

A stench, like a sewer filled with dead rats, wafted over.

Yang Ao felt his own strength and, at the moment the Jumping Zombie lunged.

He gripped his sword with both hands, and leaped up!

Dust and dirt kicked up from his feet.

The blade accurately sliced across the Jumping Zombie's skull.

"Squelch!"

Half of the Jumping Zombie's skull was cleaved open, revealing a yellow mass of brain matter with a strange red pulsing within.

A single strike, and the Jumping Zombie was dead!

"Boom!"

The Jumping Zombie fell to the ground, its body twitching, clearly not completely in a death-like dormant state.

"Brother Jin, come finish it off!"

"Mhm."

Shen Jin's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he clicked his tongue: Good heavens, this gene optimization agent is too powerful! If all humans could use it, there wouldn't be any zombies left!

Shen Jin pierced the Jumping Zombie's head with his iron sword and retrieved the blood crystal from within.

He then set the corpse ablaze, ensuring it wouldn't revive.

[Ding~ 'Further Understanding of Zombies' quest completed, reward 10 World Coins, 5 Obsidian]

[Received: World Coins * 10]

[Received: Obsidian * 5]

Shen Jin's system quest was easily completed.

While Shen Jin was repairing the wall today, Yang Ao continuously tested his abilities against zombies.

With his current reaction speed and agility, he wasn't afraid of single Jumping Zombies and could kill them with ease.

Against single Iron Bucket Zombies, he needed to use his energy longsword to kill them.

Yang Ao's overall physical condition had, as he himself had guessed, doubled!

His eyesight, reaction speed, damage resistance, burst strength, and endurance had all improved by a factor of one!

This tenfold increase directly boosted his combat power!

He went from struggling to deal with three regular zombies to chasing and beating evolved zombies.

He had effectively transformed into a top-tier warrior.

Under Shen Jin's instructions, all the corpses were finished off by him.

And so, on this day, Shen Jin built the wall, and the mission was completed.

Before nightfall, Shen Jin finished his work, and the entire wall was as solid as gold!

"Haha! When next spring arrives, we'll sow a field of seeds."

"What seeds? Are they rated?" Yang Ao asked expectantly.

Shen Jin: "..."

That evening, the two returned to the villa and ate the steaming hot meal prepared by Shang Qian, feeling very satisfied.

Shen Jin looked at Li Moxiao, who ate voraciously but did nothing, and felt a surge of anger.

"Look at Shang Qian! At least she can cook and has her own value. What about you? You spend all day reading romance novels!"

Li Moxiao, who was in the middle of eating:

(°ー°〃)

She then stammered an explanation: "I, I, I, I definitely have value!"

"Oh? Say it then."

"Can you have children yourself? The continuation of humanity depends on us women, doesn't it?"

Shen Jin was shocked, "Who wants to have children with you? Don't try to frame me!"

Li Moxiao tossed her hair, revealing her pure and cute little face, and spoke in a sickeningly sweet, loli voice:

"Brother~ Don't you think I'm cute? You can wait two more years for me~"

Shen Jin almost spat out his food seeing Li Moxiao's attempt at seduction, which was actually quite endearingly clumsy.

"Kukukuku~~~ Call me Uncle!"

"No way!"

Shang Qian couldn't help but laugh, the atmosphere filled with joy. She found this feeling somewhat heartwarming.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Want to catch ducks?"

"Let's catch them!"

"We absolutely must!"

"..."

"Quack quack quack quack~"

However, no one noticed that Li Moxiao's eyes held a hint of seriousness.

After the fun, Shen Jin went to his room and closed the door.

"Obsidian acquired..."

Five purplish-black stones appeared in Shen Jin's hand, bearing mysterious patterns, as if hiding the secrets of nature.

"Obsidian can be used to craft enchanting tables, beacons, and ender chests."

"But Nether Stars and Eyes of Ender are impossible to obtain, so I can only make an enchanting table!"

Shen Jin took a book titled "The President with a Crooked Mouth Falls in Love with Me" from his niece, then took out the remaining 2 diamonds from crafting the diamond pickaxe, and 4 pieces of obsidian.

He arranged the book, diamonds, and obsidian on the crafting table in order.

Crafting successful!

[Enchanting Table]

[Feature: Consumes World Coins to enchant tools and weapons, granting magical properties. Each item can only be enchanted once]

[Advancement: To obtain better enchanting effects, you can surround the enchanting table with bookshelves to provide higher enchanting buffs, up to 16 bookshelves]

"Consuming World Coins conflicts with upgrading my mods, doesn't it? Let me see how much it costs first. If it's too much... I'll think about it later."

Shen Jin went to room 'Xuan' No. 10, where he stored 'junk', and found a warehouse full of web novels.

He crafted 16 bookshelves and placed them all around.

The web novels seemed to contain supreme dao, and visible mysterious symbols flowed into the enchanting table in the center.

The mysterious book on the enchanting table, stirred by the wind, rose on its own!

It floated in the air, automatically opening its pages.

Countless texts filled with mysterious power were written on them...

"Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs!"

"Because you want to live like a human, not a dog."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not bully a poor young man!"

"A man, no matter how incompetent, must at least know how to protect two things: the land beneath his feet, and the woman in his arms."

"I want this sky to no longer cover my eyes; I want this earth to no longer bury my heart!"

"Heaven and earth have no steps, only truth is the path; the Great Dao has no form, only strength is raised!"

"When Heaven did not give birth to me, Li Chunfeng, the way of the sword was eternal night!"

"Who stands at the peak at the end of the immortal path? Upon seeing Wushi, the Dao becomes empty."

"Good heavens! Anyone who can understand this is an old bookworm, it's got me all fired up!"

Shen Jin took a deep breath and placed the Diamond pickaxe on it.
