Moreover, after completing the upgrade, there was something even more important waiting for her to do—alchemy!
In this way, the extremely busy Jiang An had no time to think about anything else.
Since arriving here, she has been constantly on the go, from day to night, as if every minute and every second has been fully utilized, leaving no free time.
When the night was deep and quiet, the exhaustion overwhelmed her like a tidal wave, making her unable to hold on any longer, and she fell into a deep sleep.
While this kind of life was very fulfilling, it also made her feel incredibly tired.
However, Jiang An had always experienced a bittersweet experience. Her happiness stemmed from the continuous improvement of her martial arts skills; after all, it wasn't only men who could fully enjoy the thrill of powerful combat abilities—women also craved increased strength.
Jiang An himself was deeply intoxicated by the wonderful feeling of his martial prowess steadily increasing.
As for the painful aspect, it is the enormous threat of losing one's precious life at any time and in any place.
However, even in such a difficult situation, Jiang An was unwilling to waste any of his limited time.
Within this limited time, she had a plan: to take advantage of this time to thoroughly explore this vast Gobi Desert and see if she could make any new and amazing discoveries.
Without further ado, Jiang An quickly toured the entire Gobi Desert in a short time.
She actually gained quite a lot from this short trip!
First, they found a few gray-leaved sand ginseng plants, and then they discovered a clump of cacti.
The most crucial and exciting thing for her was the precious herb that could be used to refine the Qi-boosting pill!
Not only that, she also found two herb seeds on this herb.
From then on, Jiang An had collected all six herbs needed to refine the Qi-Boosting Pill, and also obtained the seeds of three other herbs.
Unfortunately, only one set of herbs for the Qi-Boosting Pill was collected, making it exceptionally precious.
But she believes she will be able to collect the next one soon.
... ...
"Awooooo!"
"Cuckoo!"
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Accompanied by bursts of ear-piercing roars, it was as if the entire desert had been awakened.
The roars of various animals mingled together, echoing in the air.
Some voices were deep and powerful, like the roar of an ancient beast; others were sharp and high-pitched, like the song of a nightingale.
In an instant, this once tranquil place became bustling with activity.
Time flies like an arrow, and before we knew it, the sky had gradually darkened.
Jiang An looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. The bright moonlight shone on the earth, covering everything around with a layer of silver gauze.
She knew it was time to go back.
He pulled out the only return card and tore it open without hesitation.
Instantly, a mysterious power surged from the card and enveloped Jiang An's body.
Suddenly, everything went black before her eyes, as if she had been swept into an invisible vortex.
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the spot.
When Jiang An reappeared, she was already in a cozy and safe house.
"Coo coo! Mom, you're finally back! I missed you so much!" the little turtle cried out happily, scrambling towards Jiang An with its short limbs.
Its round eyes were filled with joy and excitement, clearly having long awaited Jiang An's return.
Just then, another clever mouse, not to be outdone, squeaked. With lightning speed, it leaped up and landed perfectly in Jiang An's warm embrace.
Seeing this, Jiang An quickly stretched out his hands and held the two little ones steadily in his arms, one on each side.
Feeling their soft bodies and affectionate gestures, Jiang An felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "I'm back now! Don't worry!"
However, the two little ones didn't seem to have had enough and stayed close to Jiang An, refusing to leave.
It took Jiang An a long time to finally calm them down.
Thinking that the two little ones had stayed at home alone today, not only without being naughty, but also consciously completing a lot of work - processing all the raw materials piled up in the workshop into finished products, Jiang An couldn't help but feel very gratified.
To commend them for being sensible and hardworking, Jiang An decided to give them some special rewards.
She took out two crystal-clear ice marrow pieces from her storage ring, gently placed them in front of the little turtle, and said with a smile, "This is a reward for you, little darling, have a taste!"
Then, she took out a handful of fragrant pine nuts and handed them to the mouse, saying gently, "Here, these are for you."
Seeing their favorite food in front of them, the two little ones blinked excitedly.
They eagerly enjoyed this delicious reward, eating with great relish.
While they were eating, Jiang An didn't even have time to sit down and rest before hurriedly entering the workshop.
Because there was another important task waiting for her to complete—to break down the precious ores she had worked so hard to harvest that day.
"Check the materials needed to upgrade to a level 7 safe house?" Jiang An said in a deep voice while watching the crafting table buzzing with activity.
[Ding! Materials required to upgrade to Level 7 Safe House: Level 7 Blueprint, 200 Iron Essence, 100 Copper Essence, 100 Gold, 100 Electronic Components, 100 Energy Stones, 500 Stones]
[Insufficient materials to meet upgrade requirements!]
Jiang sat quietly at the table, her gaze focused as she carefully reviewed the materials needed for the upgrade in her mind, again and again.
After filtering through various sources, she finally determined that the most urgently needed items were energy stones and a few electronic components.
Speaking of energy stones, Jiang An originally had enough to complete this upgrade task.
However, last night, the safe house was attacked. In order to protect that vital safe house, she had to use a large number of energy stones to defend against the attack of these uninvited guests.
As a result, the originally plentiful reserves of energy stones suddenly became insufficient.
