Enchanting Rivaled Soul Bone Creation

He had seen countless stunning architectural creations uploaded by master builders on various short-video platforms and websites in his previous life.

At the same time, he drew upon the architectural elements of Mondstadt and Liyue from Genshin Impact.

As well as certain architectural concepts from Luofu and Amphoreus in Honkai: Star Rail.

Of course, most importantly, he had incorporated the layout concept of the famous Eight Trigrams City from the real world of his previous life.

The entire blueprint was based on Mondstadt's overall shape.

After all, the natural terrain of this Lake Heart Island was remarkably similar to Mondstadt.

However, at its core, he had used the layout of Eight Trigrams City to plan the distribution of the entire Lake Heart Island.

As for the buildings, he mainly took inspiration from the various architectural styles of Liyue and Luofu, with Amphoreus and other places serving as supplementary references.

Among those elements, he had also added concept art from the MC World that he had seen uploaded by master builders through various channels in his previous life.

So many things—or rather, so much of the best—had all been fused together.

If Dugu Yan and the others had no reaction after seeing it all, that would have been the strange thing.

"Once we finish planting the trees, can we start building houses?"

Faced with the breathtaking blueprint Gu Changge had produced,

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling truly loved it to the core.

In Gu Changge's plan, building houses was not a priority.

They could build whenever they had time.

But faced with the starry-eyed looks of his two little wives,

Gu Changge indulged them. "If you like it, then after planting the trees, you can choose styles you like and try building them first."

"Mm-hmm! Then we'll go plant trees first!"

Having received Gu Changge's approval, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling hurried off to plant trees.

Dugu Bo chuckled. "What are we doing next, then? Continuing to mine?"

"No rush to mine today."

Gu Changge shook his head.

Although he urgently needed Iron Ingots to complete a new round of tasks,

given the Villagers' breeding speed, barring any surprises, they would have enough Villagers to summon Iron Golems by tonight.

Once the Iron Farm started running,

he could simply collect the output tomorrow and complete the task.

After all, this was real MC. Everything operated according to the rules of the real world.

It was not like the game, where mobs only spawned within a 128-block range.

Nor was it a case where it could only keep running when players were within a 23-by-23 chunk area, or when the Iron Farm was built near the spawn point.

Here, as long as the Iron Farm was built,

it could operate continuously.

So there was no need to rush mining for now.

"Next, I'll build a Monster Grinding Tower. Come learn with me."

Gu Changge said, "The Monster Grinding Tower will be very important to our future development. It's both the fastest way to collect all kinds of materials and the fastest way to gain large amounts of experience!"

"Experience is that long, narrow bar with a number on it below your inventory. Find it and see what level you're at now!"

Gu Changge guided them in finding their Experience Bars.

At that moment, he wanted to know whether everyone's starting levels were the same as his.

Whether they were likewise identical to their Soul Power Levels.

If so, then when they gained experience from killing monsters, could their Soul Power Levels rise alongside them through the same method?

And if they did rise, when Enchanting consumed experience, would their Soul Power Levels also decrease as their Experience Levels were spent?

"Found it!"

Just as Gu Changge was thinking, Mu Qingyu's voice rang out. "My Experience Level is the same as my Soul Power Level—level eighty-three!"

"I'm level eighty-two!"

Ye Guanlan spoke up next. "Same as my Soul Power Level!"

Dugu Bo did not speak, but he nodded at Gu Changge.

That indicated that his starting Experience Level was also the same as his Soul Power Level.

"Just as expected!"

Gu Changge nodded.

"Chang Ge, what exactly is this Experience Level? Is it simply there to display one's Soul Power Level?"

Dugu Bo asked.

"Not at all!"

Gu Changge shook his head. "In this world, Experience Points are a consumable resource. They are mainly used for Enchanting and repairing items!"

"Enchanting means giving ordinary tools—such as axes, Pickaxes, and swords—special effects."

"There are many types of Enchanting. We don't yet have the conditions for it, so I won't go into that for now."

"But you can think of it as giving those tools one or more additional Soul Skill effects!"

Upon hearing Gu Changge's words, astonishment immediately appeared on Dugu Bo and the others' faces.

Enchanting was equivalent to adding extra Soul Skill effects?

"Wouldn't that be the same as artificially creating special Soul Bones?"

Ye Guanlan sucked in a sharp breath.

"There's nothing wrong with putting it that way!"

Gu Changge smiled. "But strictly speaking, ordinary Soul Bones are actually inferior to Enchanting effects. Because if you truly Enchant something, an Enchantable item can receive at least three special effects, and at most five!"

That left Dugu Bo and the others even more shocked.

"Wouldn't that be even more outrageous than the legendary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones?"

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring or Soul Bone only came with two Soul Skills each.

Yet Enchanting had at least three and at most five.

Wouldn't that completely surpass Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones?

"In terms of quantity alone, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones truly cannot compare with Enchanting effects!"

Gu Changge would not be modest about this point. "However, Enchanting consumes experience. Under normal circumstances, the initial Experience Bar should start at level zero. But in our case, Experience Points seem to have formed some special connection with Soul Power Levels."

"As a result, everyone's level did not begin at zero, but directly started at the level of their own Soul Power!"

Upon hearing Gu Changge's words, surprise immediately appeared on everyone's faces.

"Then if we Enchant things in the future, when Experience Points are consumed, our Soul Power won't be consumed along with them, will it?"

Ye Guanlan asked worriedly.

As a support-system Soul Master,

raising his Soul Power Level was far more difficult than it was for Dugu Bo and Mu Qingyu.

If it were consumed as well, then they would be completely screwed.

"Probably not!"

Gu Changge shook his head. Although he had no clue what had caused this unusual situation,

he did not think consuming Experience Points would affect Soul Power Levels.

After all, they were fundamentally two different things.

Moreover, the Enchanting process only required Experience Points, not Soul Power.

So Gu Changge felt it was unlikely that Soul Power would be consumed.

Compared to that,

what Gu Changge truly wanted to know was whether increasing Experience Levels would also raise Soul Power Levels alongside them.
