"My father used to be a blacksmith."
The Access Rights he granted to this Token were...
The City Wall that allows one to hide in Cave No. 1.
It's like a city gate key with Access Rights.
"Crippled Monkey."
Chen Fan summoned the Crippled Monkey who was waiting at the door and threw the Token over. As the blood from the Crippled Monkey's fingertip seeped into the Token, it officially took effect. With this Token, the Crippled Monkey could enter and exit the Level-3 City Wall of Cave No. 1 without any hindrance.
"Good."
He glanced around and nodded.
This Life Workshop is quite useful; it can create a lot of useful things that can make a Camp more organized. However... it's also a manpower-intensive place.
Others are facing a severe manpower shortage.
They only had eight people at their disposal.
Where can we find people to specifically house in this Life Workshop? We'll see later.
After casually building another level 3 Wooden Hut, he instructed, "Find someone to help move all these clothes and odds and ends from the Life Workshop into the new Wooden Hut I just built."
He then walked to the "Altar" and plunged his finger into the Milky White Liquid that resembled a stone well; the wound on his fingertip healed rapidly.
This is also an important building in the Camp.
To ensure the safety of both the body and the City Wall.
It's currently only level 1.
It's definitely not enough.
After consuming 100 Eerie Stone, the Altar was upgraded to Level 2.
-
"The Altar has been upgraded to Level 2; Healing effects have been enhanced."
Please select an upgrade direction.
"1: The Healing effect has been further enhanced."
"2: Can remain active even after being removed from the Altar; effective for one month."
3: Reduced consumption when producing Holy Water.
-
Chen Fan initially wanted to choose the first upgrade path, but after thinking for a moment, he chose the second upgrade path instead.
Previously, the Holy Water inside the Altar would lose its potency and have no Healing effect once it was removed from the Altar.
After choosing the second upgrade path...
The Holy Water can be poured into a porcelain bottle, and if you get injured while out and about, you don't need to rush back to the Camp; drinking the Holy Water will quickly Healing your injuries.
This upgrade direction offers more functionality.
They didn't linger.
Another 300 Eerie Stone were used to upgrade the Altar to level 3.
-
"The Altar has been upgraded to level 3; Healing effects have been enhanced."
Please select an upgrade direction.
"1: The Healing effect has been further enhanced."
2: The frequency of Holy Water production increases.
3: The consumption of Holy Water for production has been reduced.
-
This time, he chose the first upgrade path: enhanced Healing effects.
He doesn't need the frequency to increase.
Currently, the only things connected to this Altar within the Camp are the Main City Wall of Cave No. 1, the City Wall of the five Unmanned Outpost, and the Old Camp. As long as they don't all encounter danger at the same time, the production speed is definitely sufficient.
Even if the production speed is not fast enough.
Just build a few more.
Reaching Level 4 requires 500 Eerie Stone, and... requires any one of the following: Earthcore Springstone *1, Exquisite Pearl *1, Purple Lotus *1, etc. He had never even heard of these items, so he couldn't reach Level 4 for the time being.
But for now, level 3 is sufficient.
After doing all this.
The Eternal Night will likely return in about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
He walked out of Cave No. 1 and looked at the "Vehicle Workshop" located in Cave No. 2. He used 1,260 Eerie Stone to build a 21-meter-long Level-2 City Wall and placed it at the entrance of Cave No. 2.
The upgrade direction was chosen to blend in with the surrounding scenery.
At this point--
The basic building upgrade project is now complete.
The Camp has also undergone significant changes once again.
After returning to his lair to replenish his saliva, the Crocodile marked all the shallow pits he had blasted into the rock wall during the Daytime, so he could start digging later after he had eaten and drunk his fill.
"Does this guy not need to sleep at all?"
Chen Fan stood at the foot of the City Wall, looking at the Crocodile lying obediently on the ground, waiting to be fed. If he remembered correctly, this guy hadn't slept for several days, yet it seemed to have no need to sleep at all.
He could finally rest.
Qi Chong was busy starting the fire and cooking, preparing dinner for everyone, while Big Fish was washing vegetables and helping out.
A Le lay down beside the Farmland to take over Qi Chong's shift, constantly praising the Sunflower in the field.
Zhou Mo, King Mazi, and the others were busy starting a fire to Roast Meat the Crocodile.
Wang Kui stayed alone in the Warehouse, arranging and putting away the Ghost Material, bones, and other items collected over the past few days. He grouped similar items together so they would be easier to find later, instead of having to rummage through a mess of things.
Little Qiu went to the Life Workshop and seemed to be studying something. After the Life Workshop was built, Little Qiu showed great interest in the building.
The Crippled Monkey stood beside the Crocodile, holding Godslaying Spear and picking its teeth. The crocodile couldn't pick its own teeth, and its mouth was full of meat scraps. It was now enjoying the experience with its eyes half-closed.
Soon...
It got dark.
Darkness, as always, enveloped the entire Wasteland.
Even during the Dry Season, when the Strange Entities rarely attack the Eerie Fire, there is still a tense atmosphere at the Wasteland Station after the Eternal Nightfall. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. But now, after darkness falls during the Rainy Season, their Camp is bursting with a vibrant scene of life.
Everyone is busy.
"Being busy is good, being busy is good."
Chen Fan stretched on the City Wall, looking out at the Sinkhole completely covered by Eerie Fire outside the City Wall, admiring the Camp he had painstakingly built. Just then, a somewhat solicitous voice came from behind him.
"Station Master, try this."
I turned around and looked.
Little Qiu that could be seen was a Rocking Chair made from the bones of Strange Entities.
"Rocking Chair?"
Chen Fan was slightly surprised. He took the Rocking Chair from Little Qiu and stroked it. The surface was extremely smooth, as if it were made of jade. He had indeed seen that this item could be made in the "Life Workshop", but the process was extremely complicated, and he did not even have the idea of trying it.
"I remember this Rocking Chair was made in a pretty complicated way, wasn't it?"
"My father used to be Blacksmith, and I learned a little bit from a young age due to being exposed to blacksmithing."
"Station Master, we've all seen how overworked you've been for the Camp these past few days, but I'm not very capable and can't offer much help. I saw in the Life Workshop that I could make Rocking Chair, so I thought I'd do my part to ease Station Master burden."
"Station Master, why don't you give it a try?"
"Give it a try."
Chen Fan placed the Rocking Chair on the City Wall, and the moment he lay down, the fatigue of the past few days instantly Qiqi.
Don't say it.
He hadn't lain like this in a really long time.
"Good."
He couldn't help but laugh, patted the Rocking Chair armrest with satisfaction, and waved to Little Qiu, saying, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
"Since you're interested in the Life Workshop, go check it out whenever you have free time. You'll be in charge of Life Workshop from now on."
"Okay."
A flicker of excitement flashed deep in Little Qiu's eyes. After suppressing his emotions, he took a deep breath and clasped his hands in greeting.
"Then you can rest, Station Master. I'll get back to work."
