Transformation Girl Infinite Replication, My Numbers Are Out of Control

Chen Ning, Lan Xinyu.

"Long time no see," Ye Qian nodded at them.

"Oh my god, Ye Qian, you're wearing white stockings! You look so pure," Lan Xinyu exclaimed, her eyes shining as she rushed forward. She looked Ye Qian up and down before reaching out and patting her head. "You're so cute, how about you be my little sister?"

"Ummm..." Ye Qian didn't know what to say, feeling the head pat.

Just then, a strong beam of light shot out from the intact Arrow Tower and entered the bodies of the three of them.

[The Life energy stored in the Arrow Tower has been allocated. You have received one-third, totaling 48 points of Life energy.]

"What is this..." Ye Qian felt the changes within her and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"Combat buildings can store some energy after defeating invaders. We can absorb it when we return," Chen Ning explained as he walked over. "It seems like quite a few monsters have invaded our territory recently."

"So that's how it is," Lan Xinyu immediately clicked on her interface. "I leveled up."

"Yeah, let's all keep working hard. We only have one Arrow Tower left, and it's pretty damaged. We need to hurry and collect the loot to build the next one."

Everything felt familiar.

On the ground in the distance, many corpses could be seen, mostly Gray wolves and White Rabbits. Only a creature that looked like a pangolin lay dead beneath the destroyed Arrow Tower, impaled by at least 20 iron arrows.

Chen Ning quickly gathered the corpses and collected the money. He then purchased the materials for a new Arrow Tower and began construction.

Ye Qian also bought some arrows, preparing to climb up and install them.

"I'll do it," Lan Xinyu said, snatching the iron arrows from Ye Qian. She then pointed at Ye Qian's skirt.

"Uh... okay." I have safety shorts, so it's not like you can see anything.

"Whoa, there are only 8 left!" Lan Xinyu exclaimed, startled. This was proof of how dangerous their starting territory was.

After about half an hour of work, they had built the first Arrow Tower and repaired two rings of wooden walls, achieving a temporary sense of security.

Ye Qian glanced at the logout button. The display showed that they could only leave in 3 days.

"That long?" she was surprised. Fortunately, while in the main world, time in the real world passed very slowly. At least now, she could clearly feel the significant desynchronization between her clone and her main body; it felt almost paused in comparison.

"That's a bit too long. Luckily, we have plenty of resources left. I think in another 2 hours, we can build another Arrow Tower and repair the old one. Once all three are done, we can continue chopping trees and clearing land. As soon as we get a combat unit with exploration capabilities, we can head out," Chen Ning said confidently.

"Combat unit?"

"Exactly. This world isn't just pure tower defense; we can also actively expand our territory. Some special items, like those that ensure survival when defeated, can only be found by going out. If we just stay home, we'll eventually face our doom."

Hearing this, Lan Xinyu immediately tensed up. "Then let's hurry and work hard! I don't want to die here."

"Alright, let's get to work." Ye Qian, as usual, picked up her hoe and started tilling the land. She noticed her strength had increased significantly; wielding the hoe no longer felt strenuous. On average, she could now earn 3 copper coins per minute, a much higher rate than the other two.

By noon, Ye Qian had a White quality drop.

[Item: Kite Bird (White)] [Type: Reconnaissance] [Description: A special mechanical reconnaissance bird connected by a string. It can fly up to a height of 100 meters and report enemy positions to the user.]

"This looks good," Ye Qian said, holding one end of the string. With a thought, the bird took flight.

"Did you get an item? Is your luck just too good?" Chen Ning asked with a wry smile. "Lan Xinyu and I haven't gotten any items yet."

"No, I got one," Lan Xinyu chimed in, running over with a smile and handing over a green blueprint.

[Building: Skeleton Nest (Green)] [Type: Blueprint] [Construction Materials: 10 Life energy, sufficient bone material to form a creature.] [Description: Consumes some vitality to utilize the bones of the deceased, forming skeletons from Level 1 to Level 10.]

"This is it!" Chen Ning exclaimed with delight. "Incredible! It seems our team's luck is really good. Not only do we have defensive buildings like Arrow Towers to help us survive at the start, but now we also have combat units, and at such a low cost."

He glanced at the blueprint, which also contained instructions for building the nest.

Ultimately, it was just about digging a hole.

"I'll dig," Ye Qian said, swinging her hoe. "I've been through a dungeon once and improved my strength."

"Alright, let's keep chopping trees and building defenses."

Ye Qian was very efficient; she wasn't weak anymore.

Strictly speaking, this time wasn't safe either, as creatures still occasionally intruded into their territory. However, all three Arrow Towers were now on standby, and most creatures were killed before they could even get close.

Everyone's Life energy surged without them even having to fight.

According to Chen Ning, it was impossible for a normal beginner team to achieve this level of ease. They not only faced the risk of death at any moment but also developed very slowly, making rapid improvement impossible.

In short, after Ye Qian busied herself for half an hour, a circular pit nearly a meter deep and not small in area appeared before them.

Then, following the blueprint, they moved stone blocks to surround it and carved strange text.

[Skeleton Nest (Green) Construction Complete.]

"Now, let's prepare to synthesize a skeleton."

He placed a pile of complete wolf skeletons inside.

"Who will consume Life energy? How about this: let's create a public resource pool. Everyone contributes the same amount of Life energy, and all team expenses will be covered by the pool?"

"Mhm, mhm," Lan Xinyu nodded repeatedly.

"Open the interface, there's a 'Team Contribution' option. You can input it here. Let's start with 10 points each."

Ye Qian did as instructed. Then, Chen Ning consumed the Life energy. A beam of light descended, and the bones combined under a mysterious force. A skeleton wolf then crawled out.

[Combat Unit: Skeleton Wolf]

[LV: 3]

[Skills: Bite, Claw Attack, Fireball.]

The text above its head indicated its strength.

"It's passable. Its movements don't seem as agile as a Gray wolf of the same level. It must kill a Level 3 Gray wolf to not be a loss."

Chen Ning had it turn around a few times in place and found it to be quite obedient.

"Let's recruit a few more and then go explore. Who wants to go first?" Lan Xinyu asked.

"Let's take turns. Going out is risky after all. My level is higher than yours, and I'm a man. I'll scout ahead for you," Chen Ning said responsibly.

After speaking, he glanced at Ye Qian and cleared his throat. "You two girls should focus on leveling up with the Arrow Towers for now. Stay home and chop trees or hoe the ground."

"Mhm, mhm." Ye Qian appeared very well-behaved.

It was best not to bear the danger herself, so she decided to play it safe until she was stronger.

Chapter 27: Fetching Water and the Ruins

The 30 points of Life energy contributed by the three people were all consumed, producing three skeletons: LV1, LV3, and LV5.

Statistically, higher levels were harder to produce, but getting even one was considered a profit.

Chen Ning left home with his two skeletons.

Since it was his first exploration, he stated he would not venture more than 500 meters beyond the Arrow Tower's range.

This way, if he encountered dangerous creatures like the pangolin again, he could retreat in time.

After he left, Ye Xin, considering they had to stay for three days, decided to go purify some water from a nearby pool.

She picked up the small wooden bucket she had made earlier and a small wooden bowl, then quickly ran to the water's edge.

She tried to reach it by crouching down, but it was still too far.

"Looks like I'll have to jump in."

Fortunately, her current Constitution was good enough that she could climb out even if she fell in.

She carefully held onto the edge, then her foot slipped, and she fell into the water.

Splash—

Seeing the pool water reach her calves, she breathed a sigh of relief.

[Purifying...]

"Ugh, this really turned into foot-washing water."

Sitting on the grass nearby, she watched as the water in front of her became completely clear at a visible rate, revealing her little white feet. She let out a breath and picked up the bowl to scoop the water.

Soon, the pool was completely clean.

She pulled her wet feet out and stepped onto the grass, starting to pour water into the bucket bowl by bowl.

The wooden bucket was soon nearly full.

Lifting her wet little feet and looking at their tender appearance, Ye Qian secretly sighed, "My Charm is indeed too exaggerated. I still need strength to protect myself."

Normal society had laws to restrain the misdeeds of some people, but once it came to the supernatural world, everything became uncertain.

In this world, there are many good people, but also quite a few bad ones. She felt fortunate that Chen Ning was decent, at least he was a serious person, though his gaze would occasionally be drawn to her.

After everything was settled, she sent the bucket up, then climbed up herself. Ye Qian, holding her shoes, stepped onto the grass and quickly hurried back to their home.

"What were you just doing? Your feet are all wet."

Lan Xinyu looked at her strangely, but upon noticing the water bucket in her hand, she understood.

"This water is so clear. Actually, my ability is to purify water. I just tried it out, and the effect is really good."

"Ah, so the water last time was also..."

"Yes, I wasn't sure then, but now I can confirm this is my ability." Ye Qian extended her hand.

"That's amazing! I haven't drunk any water since I got here, and I was worried about what to do for these three days."

Lan Xinyu excitedly ran over, picked up a bowl, poured some in, and drank it down in one gulp.

Halfway through drinking, her gaze fell on Ye Qian's feet. She suddenly thought of something, and her expression turned odd. "You didn't fall into the water pit, did you?"

She knew how small that water pit was.

Ye Qian's face turned a little red. "It was an accident, but my feet... are very clean."

"It's fine, it's fine, it's no big deal." Lan Xinyu quickly waved her hand. Mid-sentence, she suddenly muttered, "I can't bring myself to dislike such tender little ice cream either."

"Uh..."

Ice cream? That was outrageous. Ye Qian felt embarrassed. Did this guy have a weird fetish?

About ten minutes later, Chen Ning ran back, panting.

He was only followed by two skeletons. One, a Level 3, was heavily injured, with several broken bones. The other, a Level 5, was in better condition, but two of its ribs were missing.

"I ran into a pangolin. Its strength was a bit outrageous. Luckily, I escaped quickly."

After speaking, he placed a pile of copper coins on the ground in front of him.
