Chapter 67 67. Midnight and Lantern
Before clicking on the clan selection, Xu Zhi had already anticipated what kind of clan might appear this time. There are even alien species, so it shouldn't be a problem to have some strange things, right?
However, she had never thought of choosing any aquatic animals. After all, Yuncheng was inland, and there were not even a few large rivers. There was no place for those aquatic animals or ocean overlords.
So these can be put off for a while, and the choice now must be to expand the capabilities of the clan.
But when Xu Zhi clicked into the selection interface, an unexpected prompt popped up.
Should you rush into making this decision?
[Your next clan selection will be in the distant future, so you should be more cautious.]
"Um?"
Xu Zhi frowned as he looked at the words: "Shouldn't I train the new clan to level 20 or above?"
[As the life level of your selectable clan increases, as well as your own strength, the threshold for opening a new clan will also increase.]
"If I don't choose now, will there be a better choice later?"
[Your path is different from that of other transcendents, and your clan has also evolved into new branches. Now, you are even closer to midnight.]
Perhaps all you need is one more item to step into the night.
[And when you first witness Midnight's true appearance, your appearance will also be perceived by certain beings, and you will be drawn into a deeper storm. Dangers and opportunities coexist, and your choices will also increase.]
【Perhaps, you can gain their favor. 】
"What are you talking about?" Xu Zhi frowned, wanting the narrator to speak some normal language.
"So what other items do I need?"
[An object that can provide you with shelter in the middle of the night, such as a lantern.]
"Surely it's not an ordinary lantern?"
Of course not.
[Go to the forging interface and invest 10 high-level lamp attribute cores. You will receive a list of materials. After collecting the above materials, you can forge this lantern.]
"New feature? Why didn't you tell me about this before?"
[You didn't have enough high-level cores to enable this function before.]
".Too."
Xu Zhi's mouth twitched. A list of materials: 10 advanced cores!
This is robbery!
"But why did we invest in a Light Attribute Core? Why can a Light Attribute Core unlock the Materials List?"
Xu Zhi asked while investing the core. Judging from the attribute criteria briefly described by the narrator before, she felt that [Qi] or [Zhu] might be more in line with the attributes invested. After all, [Qi] means to open and disassemble, so it was reasonable to disassemble this list of materials.
Xu Zhi originally thought that the narrator would reply to her seriously, but a line of unexpected words popped up on the screen.
【Why do you have so many questions? 】
Xu Zhi:?
"You think I'm annoying, don't you?"
[Unlocked forging blueprint: Lantern]
[Required Materials: Level 25 alien branch, 2 moths, snake skin, a bird feather, spider web.]
".This list of materials is truly tailor-made."
Except for that "spider's web".
Even without thinking, you know that it must be referring to the mutant spider's web. After all, Xu Zhi knew what this game wanted at a glance from the materials mentioned above.
"But why are you ignoring me?"
【.】
Please try your best to find the materials on the list. Even if you gather all the materials, it will be difficult to build it successfully in one go. Be sure to prepare several copies.
This is understandable, after all, she has no ability to [cast] at all.
Where can I find the mutant spider's web?
Anyway, she was planning to go on a long trip, so she could just look for it while walking.
After thinking about it, Xu Zhi randomly chose a direction that his clansmen had never gone before, and threw the dead tree on the passenger seat. Xiao Zhen hovered over the car looking for traces of mutant spiders and humans. Gou Zi huddled in the back seat, and Xiao Yi turned into a black bracelet and clung to Xu Zhi's wrist.
While driving towards the unknown front, Xu Zhi casually threw a few [Cup] attribute cores on the passenger seat. After all, this little alien was still a little short of level 25.
Xu Zhi also planned to consider going to the outside world to trade with other people after officially seeing Midnight's true face.
"By the way, do I have to go into the house at night? Or can I sleep in the car?"
She looked at the game screen in front of her, and the narrator quickly gave her an answer.
【Now you must enter the house.】
"Okay." It seems that the car cannot serve as a temporary shelter, but that's normal.
Xu Zhi's car was not driving fast. After all, she was not in a hurry and was still looking for things and people. Every night, she would temporarily park her car on the side of the road and find an empty house to stay in for the night.
It was not until the morning of the third day that she found a living person nearby with Xiaozhen's guidance.
The old residential area is located in the southwest of the third ring road of Yuncheng. Now she has walked along the third ring road to the north. If she walks a little further, she will reach the suburbs and the countryside. There are fewer people, but there is a lot of land and the architectural style is older.
The place where the living figure was found was outside a small self-built Western-style building. This area was close to the national highway and the buildings were not densely populated. It was flatter than the mountains in the south, so any traces of human activity were easily captured.
Xu Zhi drove the car straight to the small western-style building where someone was. Hearing the sound of the car, the people in the house came out. In front was a short-haired girl, followed by four or five local dogs of different colors, which were all baring their teeth warily at the car. She was holding a homemade hunting rifle in her hand, and six middle-aged men and women who came out behind her were holding knives or hoes in their hands.
He doesn't look like a fanatic.
Xu Zhi asked Gou Zi to stay in the car, and he himself got out of the car without any weapons. He even said to the nervous crowd in front of him in a soothing manner: "Don't be afraid, I was just passing by and saw some people here and wanted to inquire about something."
Then she looked at the surprisingly unmutated dogs and the short-haired girl surrounding them: "Are these your dogs? That's amazing! I have dogs too."
Since the fall of Yuncheng, Xu Zhi has never seen any normal animals. How could these local dogs survive?
No, maybe it's the extraordinary abilities of someone here that keep them normal.
Her words did not make the group of people relax. In fact, they looked at Xu Zhi with even more vigilance and asked, "Where are you from? What do you want to know?"
Xu Zhi felt that these people's attitudes were a bit strange. It was normal to be vigilant, but these people were a little too vigilant, especially when they heard what she wanted to ask, the tension on their faces could hardly be concealed.
There is a problem.
