After returning to the camp, it was already past noon. Liu Nian declined Lord He's invitation to a banquet and, lacking any urge to take risks, chose to go home and relax.
After lying in bed, he took out a stack of cards from his storage space and started looking at them.
Liu Nian threw these various class-specific resource cards into his spatial storage; he didn't want to see them now, as he already had many.
Surprisingly, several building material cards were found in the card pile this time.
Looking at the wood and stone displayed on the card, Liu Nian felt a surge of excitement.
The Soul-Summoning Tower that I've been looking forward to for so long can finally be established!
Is there anything happier than this?
After decisively using all the building material cards, I collected six each of wood and stone, one more than I needed.
Liu Nian decisively opened the building panel in the dark space and began selecting the options for the Soul Summoning Tower.
[The building materials meet the construction requirements. Shall we construct the Soul-Summoning Tower?]
【whether】
"Yes." Finally, the wait was over, and Liu Nian excitedly chose "yes."
An hourglass appeared on the panel, indicating that construction would take two hours.
It doesn't matter, there's no rush anyway.
The most anticipated item has been built, and the remaining cards in my hand have become rather uninteresting.
The rest are nothing more than props, equipment, and material cards.
The materials card still contains spider silk and spider glands, which can be given to Sun Buhuan later to make into a potion.
The props were nothing new; they were all just potions.
The equipment consisted entirely of blue-grade items, and for Liu Nian, the only option was to dismantle them.
After all, selling it is impossible; I would never sell it in my lifetime.
Wait, I take back what I just said.
There were still some cards that caught Liu Nian's eye. The last card was actually an enchantment blueprint, which was the first time he had ever encountered such a card.
[Enchantment Recipe: Shadow]
Effect: Increases shadow damage by two points.
Required: 6 Glimmer Dust, 1 Small Glimmer Shard
Learning this blueprint requires 50 points of Enchanting ability.
Liu Nian glanced at the panel and saw that his enchanting ability was 58 points.
Fortunately, it works. If it doesn't, we can just dismantle another batch of equipment. It's not a big problem.
After materializing the card, Liu Nian decisively chose to learn it.
Then the Book of the Dead became Liu Nian's victim, a subject of experimentation who suffered terribly.
After Liu Nian rhythmically swirled the material, it gradually adhered to the outer cover of the Book of the Dead. As the last small, faintly glowing fragment disappeared, a black pattern flashed across the outer cover of the Book of the Dead.
[Enchanting successful, experience points +1]
Looking at the faintly glowing Book of the Dead, Liu Nian knew that the enchantment had been successful.
Unfortunately, this book can no longer be used to attack people, otherwise the opponent would actually suffer shadow damage.
The two additional points of shadow damage apply to both magical and physical attacks, and the effect is very noticeable.
If it's a magic swordsman, this effect is simply incredible.
For Liu Nian, it simply meant increasing the power of the Death Ripple magic.
After doing all that, I was at a loss for what to do next.
Now I need a goal, and after successfully defeating the area boss, I'm feeling lost again.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to set himself a small goal: to improve his mercenary level.
The current redemption machine can only redeem bronze-level items. You need to upgrade your level to see if you can redeem higher-level items.
The redemption machine will only display the items that can be redeemed at the bronze level for bronze-level badges. For items at the higher silver level, only a question mark will be displayed.
Only after reaching the corresponding level will the item in the question mark be displayed as the corresponding item.
Didn't the last update include a caravan escort feature? Why don't you check out what caravan escort is all about?
Since I'm just idling around anyway, and I don't want to go out and have fun, I can only try to make the most of my remaining time by finding something worthwhile to do.
Speaking of things of value, the intimate paradise that I worked so hard to obtain was lost in the last battle.
It has to be said that this is a great loss for Liu Nian.
Passing by the market, there were few people; it seemed everyone had gone out to explore.
I'm ashamed to admit that I don't have that kind of drive.
Sun Buhuan was still lying there, unmoved, and handed him the spider glands on his body, asking him to help refine some potions.
Seeing how relaxed he was, Liu Nian wondered if she could also do a side job of enchanting people to earn some living expenses.
Lost in thought, I arrived at the Adventurer's Hall, but once inside, I put my previous thoughts out of my mind.
The hall was no longer as lively as usual, and it seemed rather deserted.
Liu Nian approached a window, where the customer service representative greeted her politely.
I inquired with customer service about the rules of escorting goods, and after their explanation, I came to the following conclusion.
A deposit is required; the amount varies depending on the distance.
[The portal function is unavailable after accepting the escort mission.]
[Failure to successfully deliver the entrusted items or other goods to the designated person constitutes a failed escort mission.]
[Failure or success will result in a corresponding decrease/increase in mercenary points.]
I haven't actually done this kind of task, so these are the rules I know for now.
After checking the locations available for escorting goods, Liu Nian was surprised to find that the closest locations were all in nearby cities, which dampened his curiosity.
Even dogs wouldn't go that far; let others handle the escorting business!
The remaining hiring tasks were the same as before, with no major changes.
After going around in circles, Liu Nian decided to head back home.
As for the task, we can discuss it tomorrow.
When we returned to the market, there were significantly more people than before.
At each stall, many people were gathered together, discussing something animatedly.
The noise made Liu Nian lose all interest in shopping, and she went straight back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Liu Nian began to regret her actions. The walls of the residential building were not very soundproof, and the noise in the entire corridor was very loud, something she had never seen before.
It seems that once people have money in their hands, they choose to spend it at a hotel.
Just as I was hesitating, the system's voice came through.
The Soul-Summoning Tower is now complete.
Almost forgot about this, Liu Nian opened the panel of the Dark Space to check it out.
The dark space remained as oppressive and gloomy as ever.
Another building has finally appeared next to the lonely, evil temple.
It was a barren, muddy slope, and the Soul-Summoning Pagoda stood on the small slope.
The Soul-Summoning Tower is entirely made of stacked blue stone slabs, with unknown runes carved on its surface, making it appear both dangerous and mysterious.
Overall, it looks just like a sharpened pencil, with a structure that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top.
Regardless of whether it looks good or not, its positive impact on Liu Nian is undeniable.
Increases Soul Power by 20%
All of Liu Nian's attributes with soul power benefit from this bonus, and now the soul power of the spirit shrine has been increased to a maximum of 1200.
This indirectly increased the quantity and quality of recruits Liu Nian could recruit, although the conditions were very harsh.
Once the novelty of the Soul-Summoning Tower wore off, Liu Nian finally couldn't stand the increasingly loud noise pollution and went outside.
The idea of setting up a stall came back to mind.
