"Good stuff!"
Wang Kui.
After finishing all this, Chen Fan walked to the City Wall, looked at Wang Kui, and smiled, saying, "From now on, you'll be in charge of this Warehouse."
"If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible."
"Yes!"
Wang Kui stood up, his eyes gleaming with excitement, puffed out his chest, and roared in agreement. Warehouse manager? That's a crucial position; all resources entering and leaving the entire Camp must pass through his hands, its importance is self-evident.
After thirteen years Worker Bee, it has finally become an official.
"Before it gets dark..."
"Take your men down there and move everything we brought from the Old Camp into the Warehouse. No need for detailed organization tonight; we'll deal with it tomorrow."
"A kitchen has been added to the house."
"I'm almost sick of eating dry biscuits these days. Go see if you have any other Ingredients or something to make everyone something hot to eat."
Does anyone know how to cook?
"I can," Qi Chong raised his hand. "I used to be a cook."
"You do quite a variety of jobs, farming and cooking."
Chen Fan glanced at Qi Chong, smiled, and waved his hand. "Then let's get moving. Let's have something hot to eat before dark. Zhou Mo said he brought a few bottles of wine back at the Old Camp. Let's give it some tonight, consider it Housewarming Feast."
"Eat your fill, get a good night's sleep, and get back to work tomorrow."
"Okay!"
The people on the City Wall immediately jumped up and rushed towards the supplies laid out on the ground inside the Cave, preparing to tidy them up and start cooking.
Chen Fan was left alone on the City Wall.
Now, let's get to the main event of the day.
Upgrade the City Wall.
The City Wall cannot be upgraded as a whole; it needs to be upgraded meter by meter.
A one-meter- City Wall requires 50 Eerie Stone to upgrade from level 1 to Level 2. The City Wall at the Cave entrance is 21 meters long and took 1050 Eerie Stone to upgrade.
The City Wall have been upgraded to Level 2.
However... among the many identical panels, one particular panel stands out strikingly.
-
"The City Wall has been upgraded to Level 2, increasing its strength."
Please select an upgrade direction.
1. The color of the City Wall will match the surrounding scenery.
"2: Qualitative Transformation: All City Wall connected to this City Wall will gain a slow self-repair ability (normal)."
3: Potential for Qualitative Transformation: The direction of Qualitative Transformation is unknown.
-
"..."
Chen Fan glanced at the panel, then at the City Wall beneath his feet. He couldn't afford to upgrade the City Wall before, but the boxes carried by the Funeral Wraith provided him with enough resources, making him much wealthier.
There are still over 10,000 Eerie Stone left to collect.
After the City Wall is upgraded to Level 2, the most obvious change is that the City Wall looks more solid and taller, reaching a height of 7 meters in the building's shadow.
It was originally five meters.
The reason he hasn't risen yet is because he's standing on the City Wall, with the mountain directly above him; if he were to rise, he would be crushed to death.
The City Wall at the Cave entrance has gaps between City Wall top and the mountain.
After upgrading to Level-2 City Wall.
Now, if he wanted, he could make the top of the City Wall and the mountain completely aligned at any time, without leaving a single gap, and the Cannon Tower placed on the City Wall would blend into the City Wall, leaving only the "rectangular gaps" of the Cannon Tower on the outside.
If the rectangular gap is not precisely hit, the Cannon Tower will not be destroyed; the entire Cannon Tower will be completely encased in the City Wall.
Extremely safe.
"Very nice."
Chen Fan smiled with satisfaction, then looked closely at the panel. This was the second time he had encountered an upgrade direction that had "already undergone Qualitative Transformation," but this time there was also an unknown direction that could be "potentially Qualitative Transformation."
He completely ignored the first upgrade option; if there's Qualitative Transformation, he'll definitely choose the Qualitative Transformation.
He didn't really need the second "qualitative Qualitative Transformation" either. With the Altar and Copper Pipe, his Enclosing Wall could automatically repair themselves, and as long as there were enough Eerie Stone, the repair speed would be much faster than the "slow self-repair".
That leaves him with only the third option.
"Go take a shower."
He didn't confirm immediately, but instead went into the Cave Wooden Hut to take a bath. This was the first time he had taken a bath in many days. After bathing and changing, he stood on the City Wall again and looked at the panel.
Wash away the musty smell.
The next moment--
-
"Qualitative Transformation has begun..."
"The Qualitative Transformation is complete."
3: All City Wall connected to this City Wall will have the "Thorn Counterarmor" effect, which will reflect a small portion of the enemy's attack power back to the enemy before the City Wall reaches its maximum withstand capacity (normal).
-
"Nice one!"
"A significant Qualitative Transformation!"
"Good bath!"
"Good job changing!"
Chen Fan grinned and said "good" four times. It seemed he was quite lucky. He really liked this direction of Qualitative Transformation. If only the Funeral Wraith Chief had been there and had this effect and Level-2 City Wall, that would have been great.
Judging by the physical strength of the Funeral Wraith Chief.
He doesn't even need Cannon Tower.
The sheer amount of rebound alone would be enough to give the opponent a hard time. Strange Entities with ranged attack capabilities certainly can't be that physically strong, and this Qualitative Transformation is specifically designed to counter these kinds of creatures.
He thought this Qualitative Transformation change was already quite remarkable, but he was surprised to find it was only at the ordinary level, whereas the Qualitative Transformation change in the Old Camp's Eerie Fire was at the Rare level.
He glanced at the cost of upgrading the Level-3 City Wall.
500 Eerie Stone are needed to measure 1 meter.
It would cost 10,500 Eerie Stone. After a moment's thought, he decided to upgrade again. With a Level-3 City Wall, his Rear Base would finally be truly safe. The main concern was that he didn't know how strong the Wraith King was. If the Wraith King found him, Level-2 City Wall would likely not be enough to stop him.
Level 3 is a safer bet.
The next moment!
While carrying the boxes, Wang Kui suddenly noticed that the Level-2 Eerie Stone inside the boxes began to shatter one after another, turning into a tide of Ghostly Green Light that surged into the city City Wall at the Cave entrance. The originally heavy boxes instantly became light as a feather.
He immediately looked at the Station Master's back on the City Wall with a somewhat resentful gaze.
He immediately realized that the Station Master was upgrading the City Wall.
He was just about to move the batch of Eerie Stone to the Warehouse, and then it disappeared?
This is like letting him manage the accounts, and then the money in the accounts is spent right away. For some reason, he feels a little empty inside. At least leave it in the Warehouse for one night and let him experience what it's like to be a warehouse manager.
"There hasn't been any Qualitative Transformation..."
Chen Fan clicked his tongue with some regret, saying that the 21-meter-wide City Wall was divided into 21 sections and upgraded 21 times, all of which were upgraded to level 3.
Surprisingly, it didn't encounter a single Qualitative Transformation.
The Qualitative Transformation effect of City Wall should all have the effect of "sharing with connected City Wall," meaning that once it occurs, it will affect all city walls.
It is a pity.
This time, fortune did not smile upon him again.
"Too..."
Even the best luck should have a cooling-off period.
-
"The City Wall has been upgraded to level 3, increasing its strength and durability."
Please select an upgrade direction.
"1: Obtain the 'Wraith Blood Pattern,' which allows you to absorb the blood of Strange Entities that fall within the Camp's area during combat, slowly increasing the fortification of the City Wall."
"2: Obtain 'Vine Pattern,' which allows vines to slowly grow and cover the City Wall. The vines can draw nutrients from nearby plants to slowly repair damaged areas of the City Wall."
"3: Obtain the 'Earthwater Pattern,' which keeps the City Wall moist and smooth for a long time, making City Wall extremely difficult to climb."
-
I've upgraded 21 times, and it's always the same panel.
All options are based on Vein Patterns.
Furthermore, none of these three Vein Patterns have the "shared with connected City Wall" effect, meaning he could choose 10 "Wraith Blood Pattern," 10 "Vine Pattern," and 1 "Earthwater Pattern."
But it's pointless anyway.
He unanimously chose the "Wraith Blood Pattern".
At a glance.
The City Wall itself hasn't changed much, but the virtual image of the building shows that the City Wall can reach a height of 10 meters and will automatically or manually adjust according to the height of the City Wall. Moreover, the stone bricks of the City Wall are covered with mysterious Vein Patterns.
He couldn't understand it.
But it looks pretty good.
