Chapter 58 Base Upgrade to Level 2
In the dead of night, the solar streetlights had run out of power, and everyone in the base spontaneously built a stone bonfire in front of the wooden cabin.
Gu Zilin turned her head and saw a familiar figure, sighing, "Oh, sister, why are you here again?"
Guan Qingqing gently flicked Gu Zilin's forehead: "What's wrong? I gave you coins, and you're still not happy?"
"No, it's just that I feel you're wasting materials. You might as well give me the materials, then I can gather herbs and make a healing potion in a few days."
Guan Qingqing brought up her backpack panel, rearranged her supplies, took out a notebook, and began to record information while using it as a medicinal herb.
She stared at the medicine-making station, casually chatting with Gu Zilin: "What if it works? I think cooking skills can be acquired through making medicine, and so can medicine formulas."
Gu Zilin rested her chin on her hands and mumbled, "That's just your guess. You've wasted so many materials these past few days. Sister Lin won't stop you."
"Are you keeping watch tonight? Children need to sleep more, how can I let you keep watch?"
Guan Qingqing turned her head, raised her hand and pinched Gu Zilin's chubby face, her eyes fixed on the pharmaceutical counter.
Gu Zilin patted Guan Qingqing's hand and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a clanging sound.
What was that sound?
The two were terrified, thinking that the monsters had attacked the base again, and ran out of the mission hall and looked up at the main entrance.
"The base...has been upgraded?"
The cold stone wall hidden in the dim warm light in the distance is gradually dissolving, and white mist is enveloping the original location of the city wall.
"The wall is receding."
Gu Zilin's mouth dropped open; it was the first time she had ever seen the base upgraded.
The whole process took only a few minutes, and the public toilet, which was originally next to the stone wall, was now much farther away from the stone wall.
The other watchmen also noticed the base upgrade and went out of the cabin to chat, hands in their pockets or sleeves.
"A level 2 base is an impenetrable fortress, right?"
"Yes, our base currently has five arrow towers, which may not be enough for all-round defense. The base manager needs to build a few more arrow towers."
"Hey, you're starting to worry about this now."
"Of course, the base is my home. I've settled down here now, and I just hope the base gets better and better."
"That's true. I heard that many people have left Peach Blossom Base. Some would rather die than stay there any longer."
"So resolute. But they're poorly treated, and the base commander exploits them. If I were in their shoes, I'd definitely want to run away too."
"As you all saw, I saw someone say that during the last zombie night raid, Peach Blossom promised everyone that if they went out to defend the city, they would be rewarded, with a certain amount for killing 100 zombies. But later they cried poverty and only gave a portion of the reward."
"Many people are losing money and have used up all their materials. Our base is much better. I became a permanent resident, my mom reduced my stay fee by 10 days, and my brother helped me get an extra hour of free time in the public toilets."
“My grandfather also helped and reduced the accommodation fee.”
Guan Qingqing and Gu Zilin lost interest after watching for a while and returned to the mission hall, where a foul odor emanated from the medicine-making table.
Gu Zilin shrugged. Another failure, another waste of herbs.
Guan Qingqing took out her notebook, crossed out the previous recipe, and moved on to the next one, her eyes carrying a hint of uncertainty that she herself was unaware of.
My best friend Lin Muzi was slightly stung by a scorpion and has been suffering from the scorpion venom debuff ever since, constantly losing blood. She can only watch as her healing abilities and healing potions and bandages keep her alive.
There has been no news about acquiring the antidote, so Guan Qingqing can only try to concoct the medicine herself.

】
The upgrade requirements are still more stringent, which Jiang Baiyue was already mentally prepared for.
What puzzled her was why, after the prosperity value increased, the stay time became longer and the intervals between visits also lengthened.
Logically speaking, shouldn't it be shorter?
I can't figure it out, I just can't figure it out...
Jiang Baiyue looked at the unlocked buildings and saw that there were four new buildings.
[Congratulations to player "Lying Flat and Salty Fish" for becoming the sixth player to upgrade their safe base to level 2.]
[The reward received is as follows: 1 Merchant Recruitment Card.]
Jiang Baiyue pouted, and the reward was greatly reduced.
She needs to think about which building to construct, since she only has one investment promotion card.
Clothing stores are out of the question. Their function should be similar to sewing shops. While sewing shops allow you to weave cloth, clothing stores require a base or a base player to provide cloth to the merchant.
The base, where you don't need an umbrella in the rain, has a clothing store among the initial buildings that are unlocked. During their conversation, she inquired about the clothing store.
I didn't hear anyone mention coffee shops, hot pot restaurants, or hot spring resorts in the discussion area.
Currently, Jiang Baiyue has only seen people mention noodle shops, repair shops, barbecue shops, electronics factories, convenience stores, ice cream shops, and blacksmith shops in the discussion area.
Hot pot restaurants and restaurants also have overlapping functions. If she were to build a building for food and beverage, she would still prefer a restaurant, at least the menu should be comprehensive and diverse, and suitable for all ages.
There are still quite a few children at her base.
Jiang Baiyue suddenly remembered that it seemed that children were always accompanied by adults, and it was rare to see two or one child living alone.
...This game, you could say, still has a bit of humanity in it.
Jiang Baiyue does have some ideas about building a hot spring resort.
The elderly in the base hardly fight monsters, and their levels are all 0. The healthier and younger middle-aged and elderly people are at level 1. Their physical fitness has not improved, and they are not very resistant to the cold.
The situation is similar for children.
Build a hot spring resort so you can soak in the hot spring and warm up.
However, there were no sulfur or other materials in the warehouse, so we had to give up.
Currently, the sewing shop is more practical and functional, so Jiang Baiyue made up her mind and didn't hesitate, clicking to build it.
The quantity of some materials on the warehouse panel immediately decreased, and the familiar construction sound effects rang out from outside.
Just as she was about to pull the covers over herself and go to sleep, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a message from an acquaintance.
"Not using an umbrella in the rain: You've upgraded? Who did you trade your iron blocks with?"
"Lying Flat Salted Fish: Practice what you preach, the base chief of Ruixi Base. He's stingy, try to win him over. There's conflict among the people at this base; they're protesting by submitting materials, you can take advantage of that."
Jiang Baiyue covered her mouth and chuckled. Sister, I'm still helping you recruit more people to scam you.
