Ji Xinghe glanced at the bottom of the panel.
Island upgrade requirements: Prosperity reached 100, 100 Wow Coins, the Island expanded to 100 square meters, and all upgrades successfully completed.
"Upgrade!"
[Wow Coins -100] [Congratulations, Player 001, on completing the first-ever West-Level Island achievement server-wide. Rewards: 5 Achievement Points, 5 Raffle Tickets, and 5 Free Attribute Points.] [Player 001, would you like to make an announcement? You'll receive double rewards if you do.]
Ji Xinghe nodded. "Announce this one along with the last one."
[Okay*^O^*]
Ji Xinghe: ??? It's alive?
[Thanks, I'm still alive!]
Ji Xinghe: ... It's pretty polite, huh...
The system didn't reply again. Its mechanical voice sounded once more.
[Congratulations, Player 001, on completing the first-ever Level Three Island achievement server-wide. Rewards: 5 Achievement Points, 5 Raffle Tickets, and 5 Free Attribute Points.] [Congratulations, Player 001, on completing the first-ever West-Level Island achievement server-wide. Rewards: 5 Achievement Points, 5 Raffle Tickets, and 5 Free Attribute Points.]
[West-Level Island (Area: 110 square meters)] Prosperity: 115 Daily yield: 2 Wow Coins (can be collected once per day) Upgrade requirements: Prosperity reached 500, 500 Wow Coins, the Island expanded to 500 square meters, and all upgrades successfully completed.]
She collected the two Wow Coins produced that day.
She was still short of a lot of materials to upgrade from West Level to Level Five, so she wouldn't be able to gather them all anytime soon.
But now that the Island had been upgraded, she could upgrade the Shelter too.
Materials for upgrading the Shelter to a Level Three Stone House:
Requirements: 50 wood, 100 stone, 50 Wow Coins, and a Level Three Island.
She clicked upgrade, and the materials were deducted automatically.
The next moment, Ji Xinghe clicked upgrade again.
Requirements for a West-Level Wooden House: 200 wood, 50 stone, 2 Glass, 100 Wow Coins, and a West-Level Island.
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations, Player 001, on completing the first-ever Level Three Shelter achievement server-wide. Rewards...] [Congratulations, Player 001, on completing the first-ever West-Level Shelter achievement server-wide...]
Ji Xinghe had triggered two more server-wide announcements.
With the doubled rewards, she had gained another 20 Achievement Points, 20 Raffle Tickets, and 20 Free Attribute Points.
Looking at the newly built wooden house, Ji Xinghe opened the Shelter panel.
[Small Wooden House (West Level): 30 square meters Upgrade requirements: 500 wood, 100 stone, 4 Glass, 10 gold, 500 Wow Coins, and a Level Five Island.]
Before she could go inside and take a look, the system's mechanical voice sounded again.
[Detected that the player upgraded the Island and Shelter multiple times in one day, completing a hidden achievement. Obtained the title: Construction Expert. Achievement rewards: 1 random blueprint, +3 Achievement Points, +3 Lottery Tickets, +3 Free Attribute Points]
Ji Xinghe blinked. There were hidden achievements, too?
"Construction Expert: The material cost for upgrading Islands, Shelters, buildings, and more is halved."
This title was incredibly useful. As the game progressed, upgrading each building would require more and more materials. Hundreds or thousands of basic materials were the norm.
Just think how many materials she'd save with this.
She closed the panel and looked over the Shelter. In her previous life, it had taken her half a year of survival just to upgrade it to West Level.
She pushed open the wooden door. Inside was a small living room, with a tiny kitchen of about two square meters on the left, complete with a wood-burning stove.
On the right was a dry toilet occupying four square meters, with a squat toilet.
A two-meter-wide passage ran down the middle, connecting the living room and bedroom.
A wooden sofa and a treadmill sat in the center, with rows of Storage Boxes and a Crafting Table opposite them.
At the very back of the house stood a 1.5-meter wooden bed. The mattress from the Storage Box lay neatly on top of it.
There was a window beside the bed and another beside the kitchen. Sunlight streamed in through them, brightening the whole home.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of wood and the clean fragrance of sunshine...
The Shelter measured just five by six meters, but the system had arranged everything incredibly well.
She loved it.
After looking around, Ji Xinghe sat down on the sofa and opened the blueprint she'd just received.
"Fence Blueprint"
"Crafting materials: 2 wood per fence, each measuring 1 × 1 meter"
A Fence? Perfect timing. She'd just been about to start planting.
She needed to add six meters in front of the Shelter and one meter on each of the other three sides, making a 12 × 12 meter/8 × 8 meter layout.
She needed 40 Fences in total.
She placed the blueprint on the Crafting Table and set it to make 40 custom pieces.
[Automatically deducted 80 wood. Crafting 40 Fences.] [Time remaining: 00:06:39]
The Crafting Table was now at work.
Ji Xinghe put the Black Earth and seeds in her backpack, then headed outside.
She arranged six one-by-one-meter plots of Black Earth in a row along the side of the Shelter.
Once the Fence was ready, it would enclose all the plots perfectly.
"Black Earth (Level One): The only way to grow crops in the Island world. Can be used to grow any crop."
"Trait: Plant growth speed +10%. Chance to obtain plant seeds when harvesting. The higher the Black Earth's level, the greater the chance of obtaining seeds."
"Upgrade method: 2 Black Earth, 2 Wow Coins"
The upgrade method was simple and straightforward. All she needed was Wow Coins and Black Earth.
Two Level One plots made one Level Two plot, and four made one Level Three plot of Black Earth...
Ji Xinghe only had six plots of Black Earth, so she didn't plan to upgrade them for now.
The seeds in her backpack were: 3 Watermelon Seeds, 2 Chinese Cabbage Seeds, 5 Ginger Seeds, 1 Peach Tree Seedling, and 1 Unknown Sapling.
She definitely had to plant the Unknown Sapling and the Peach Tree Seedling. As for the rest... Ji Xinghe picked out two Watermelon Seeds, one Chinese Cabbage Seed, and one Ginger Seed.
She planted them all with a single click.
"Unknown Sapling. Time until maturity: 999 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes"
"Peach Tree Seedling. Time until maturity: 20 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes"
"Watermelon. Time until maturity: 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes"
"Chinese cabbage, ginger. Time until maturity: 5 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes"
