Survival Construction

Obviously, it's time to rest.

Linsey knew this perfectly well without anyone reminding her.

He left the Devil Beast's corpse behind and departed from Anrui's Lord's Manor. He should have returned to Finn's cabin or his own hut in the church, and then had a good night's sleep to wash away the fatigue that had accumulated over the past two weeks.

But Linsey did not do that.

Because he simply couldn't suppress his curiosity.

What exactly is the effect of this [Survival Construction] module?! Taking advantage of the night, Linsey went around to the woods north of the town and switched to the Game Module he had just acquired.

[Hunting Simulation] → [Survival Construction]

The next second, Linsey pulled Long Dagger from her bag, picked an inconspicuous Fir Tree, and slashed it.

Snap! The [Resource] skill immediately took effect, extracting Essence from Linsey's body.

But the strange thing was that the Fir Tree in front of him didn't budge at all, and even when he slashed it with a knife, it didn't leave any mark.

This is completely illogical!

With Linsey's current skill level, even if he couldn't chop an entire tree in half with a single stroke like Anrui, he would definitely leave a deep mark on it.

"It can only be due to the skill."

"..."

Linsey stood there, her expression furrowed as she pondered.

He thought for a long time until he noticed the four big words "[Survival Construction]" on the skill panel, and then he suddenly had an epiphany.

"Wait, it can't be like this..."

Realize where the problem might lie.

Linsey quickened her pace and rushed back to the church on the edge of town.

By this time, it was completely dark, but Red Moon was still waiting for Linsey to return.

A solitary figure in a long black robe sat in the chapel. Linsey's heart tightened when she saw him. "Nun, you don't need to wait for me! I'm just going to explain the situation to Uncle Anrui."

"..."

Red Moon nodded slightly.

The elderly Nun didn't say much.

Only after seeing that Linsey had returned safely did he go back to his room to rest.

I watched the Red Moon enter the house, then turned off the lights and rested.

Linsey then went to the Firewood Room to get an axe, and turned to walk out into the woods at the edge of the cemetery.

Several maple trees stand tall in front of you.

These guys also needed to provide Linsey with Maple Syrup, and he couldn't bear to use these precious trees as guinea pigs. So Linsey moved a few meters away and replaced them with a Fir Tree that wasn't very useful.

The [Resource] skill is active again.

This time, Linsey gripped the axe tightly, aimed at the rough tree trunk in front of him, and chopped at it.

Praise, praise, praise—

The axe struck the tree, producing a very strange sound.

What's even more amazing is that when Linsey Fir Tree didn't budge at all. Instead, the bark at the spot where the axe landed changed color strangely.

Immediately afterwards, Linsey added several more axe blows.

With a subtle and strange chopping sound, the entire Fir Tree collapsed with a crash.

"..."

Linsey was stunned for a moment.

This Fir Tree didn't just break off at the point where it was cut down, causing the entire tree to collapse.

It disintegrated automatically in mid-air!

Then it turned into neatly shaped logs and piled them up in front of Linsey!

"..."

"So it really is a survival game?!"

For the first time since becoming an Awakened, Linsey felt as if a raging fire had been ignited within her.

That was the restlessness of Game Player.

In the past, his "Game Player" ability only enhanced himself, but this time the skill has a real impact on physical objects, and the impact of the two is incomparable.

To implement the game's mechanics in real life in this way.

No game enthusiast could remain calm at this moment!

Linsey's mind instantly clicked, and then a thought flashed through his mind, "That's right, there's also this!"

Linsey tossed the axe aside, saving himself the trouble of using any tools this time. He switched to a different tree to "resource" and then, with his fist clenched, smashed it down bare-handed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Linsey threw several punches in succession. Although it was much slower than using an axe, after a while, the Fir Tree in front of him indeed collapsed instantly, breaking down into a pile of logs in front of him.

"A dagger isn't designed to be used to chop down trees, but an axe or your bare hands can, right?"

"Hahaha!"

Linsey couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But he immediately thought of the Red Moon, who was resting in the church next door.

He suppressed his laughter and paced back and forth, trying to calm his racing heart.

A few minutes later, Linsey tried to put the logs he had cut down from the Fir Tree into his [Personal Baggage].

There have been new changes in this regard.

Linsey naturally packed some wood in his bag when he was out in the wild.

But when he put the Resource Conversion Fir Tree logs into his bag, the two could not be overlapped in the same compartment.

In the [Personal Baggage]'s assessment, these are two completely different types of supplies! "Is it not just that logging is easier, but that the essence of the supplies has also changed?"

Faced with this situation.

What's needed are different samples to test the actual differences.

Linsey circled around in place several times, and finally her evil gaze landed on the maple tree she used to collect Maple Syrup.

"One, two, three..."

"As for Maple Syrup, there's usually a surplus after each collection, so I only use one tree, just one!"

Linsey easily convinced herself.

He then picked up an axe from the side and began to work on a smaller maple tree.

Wow! In just a few seconds, the maple tree also fell down in front of Linsey.

Unlike the previous Fir Tree, the maple trees did leave behind logs after being cut down, but there were also two extra liquids next to them.

"..."

Linsey quietly put it away.

The label on the "Personal Baggage" item confirms it's Maple Syrup! "So this is how you gather supplies in a survival game!"

Linsey gripped the axe tightly, his gaze darting around.

Having grasped the basic rules, he naturally wanted to experiment with more things, so he immediately took action.

Under the cover of night, Linsey began to rummage through the woods.

The results came out shortly afterward.

Soil can be turned into clods, and stones can be turned into rocks, just like objects in a survival game can be collected. This resource conversion ability is indeed applicable to the resources that Linsey can access.

Then Linsey had to stop.

This ability to alter the properties of objects is extremely serious in terms of Essence loss.

After trying to activate the skill about ten times, his Essence was almost depleted.

Going further down, once the Life Source Material is completely depleted, it's no laughing matter.

So Linsey returned to the churchyard with the materials he had collected.

He took out the Resource Conversion items and tried them out.

Resource Conversion materials do not mean that only game skills can affect them; it only changes them to a certain extent.

In the hearth fire.

Fir Tree logs can be burned, and Maple Syrup can be boiled into syrup.

This ability currently appears to simply change the rules of collection, simplifying the way Linsey collects resources.

But Linsey knew in her heart—this was the foundation!

And this is of utmost importance! Not to mention the operations that can be performed with this basic capability.

Looking ahead, as other skills in the [Survival Construction] module are gradually unlocked, this ability will surely see even more amazing developments!

"The future looks promising!"

"But now, it's time to rest."

Having completed her attempt, Linsey returned indoors.

That night, he was in a very good mood and fell into a deep sleep with a happy smile on his face.

When I wake up tomorrow, my Essence will have recovered considerably.

What kind of experiment should we use then...?

Perhaps we could also turn our weapons into Resource Conversion?
