Chapter 50: The third settlement day, the full-level base is obtained
As usual, I received three Easter egg rewards. This time, two of them were fixed treasure chests and keys, while the last one was optional. Yu Luowei kept it, planning to choose it together with the next Easter egg reward.
The Easter Egg reward is a City Expansion Card, which you can easily tell is used after the City Construction Order. However, this expansion card not only expands the city's area, but also expands the area of the city's defense shield.
After opening the Easter egg reward, Yu Luowei began to read the system's settlement day announcement:
Congratulations everyone on making it through Season 3! It's the third settlement day! I'm so happy to see you all today!
On this settlement day, the water surface outside the base will not disappear temporarily and will return to normal water source. New diving sets have been added to the Event Mall and Points Mall. Everyone is welcome to appreciate the beautiful underwater scenery!
Survivors can choose to recycle the controller and platform at any time for half of the materials used. After recycling, the surrounding environment will automatically return to its original state. The rest of the rules remain the same.
Since the survivor Yu Luowei once again achieved the first place in the six rankings, a special reminder for the new season is here: Food and Time.
Now that she could recycle half the materials, Yu Luowei felt relieved. She knew there would definitely be enough. She'd swim a little longer and then come back to recycle. Now she could open the ranking rewards without worry.
There were also a lot of goodies in the red treasure chest this time. In addition to the expected level 6 base planning drawings and special buildings, there were also brewing stations, weapon modification stations, life vine seeds, and a magic level enhancement scroll. Oh, and a familiar disaster reminder card.
Yu Luowei's previous reminder card disappeared after it ran out of uses, so this new one arrived just in time. There were other items as well: the Brewing Stand was for brewing potions, and the Weapon Modification Stand was for inlaying other materials into weapons to increase their stats. As for the Life Vine Seeds, they were the vines that produced the Fruit of Life in spring.
If this seed had been planted yesterday, it could have been harvested today. But now Yu Luowei could only regretfully plant it in the farmland. Fortunately, she had four plots of farmland, which was enough.
After planting, Yu Luowei built several trellises using the branches he had previously gathered. This vine has a five-day harvest cycle and, like the Lingyun Pomelo tree, can only be fertilized with high-grade fertilizer. Furthermore, every time it matures, there's a 90% chance of producing 10 Life Fruits. These are the same fruits Yu Luowei has already consumed, and can only be used as snacks for glutinous rice balls or as ingredients for potions. However, there's also a 10% chance of producing 3 high-grade Life Fruits. Consuming them increases your maximum Constitution and Attack by 1, for a maximum of 5.
After using the high-grade fertilizer, the vines matured in two days. Yu Luowei hoped to harvest the high-grade fruit of life on the first try.
The other props will be used after upgrading. Now Yu Luowei has changed into the Black Abyss suit and entered the underwater world.
As the system predicted, the underwater world had regained its beauty and vitality. Yu Luowei admired the beautiful scenery for a while, then went to the bottom of the water to dig for more minerals.
Unfortunately, after returning to normal, the iron ore mining became much more difficult. In the same amount of time, Yu Luowei only dug half the amount. Feeling a little tired, Yu Luowei grabbed a few crabs and shells from the side and went up.
While resting and changing clothes, Yu Luowei recovered the platform and then upgraded the shelter first:
Congratulations on reaching Level 6 Shelter! Defense increased by 100. To upgrade to the next level, you'll need: Level 6 Base, Castle Core, Manor Plan, 10,000 Wood, 10,000 Stone, 5,000 Iron, 1,000 Golden Wood, and 1,000 Black Gold Stone.
Note: Level 7 is the highest level of shelter.
Yu Luowei was a little surprised to find that the next level was the highest. She walked around and admired the newly upgraded shelter. Two small rooms extended from the center, making it look a bit like a manor.
A short while later, Fang Min returned from outside, bringing back enough golden wood. Zhao Linlang and Yu Luowei needed golden wood to upgrade their base, so they began to search their own reserves for a suitable exchange.
At this time, Fang Min also upgraded his base and shelter to level five.
Fang Min: Hey, Linlang, Weiwei, are all the materials you use to upgrade your level 6 base golden silk wood? Why do I need 100 obsidian and 100 abyssal wood?
Zhao Linlang: I have 100 golden wood pieces and 100 gold nuggets. I'm also planning to buy some gold ore from you later.
Yu Luowei: What I need is 100 Golden Silk Wood and 100 Black Gold Stone. What's going on? Are these also random? I might have some Black Abyss Wood, though. I'll go check it out for you later.
[Fang Min: Thank you, Weiwei! I'll give you the golden wood first.]
Yu Luowei sent this information to the four-person group and asked others. As expected, they all had different materials, and none of them needed golden wood.
I didn’t expect that everyone has different materials for level 5, but this also means that the special saplings I bought before can come in handy.
Yu Luowei first opened the points mall, but did not find the Black Abyss Tree saplings. He then teleported to the Black Abyss Entrance Lake and cut down a tree by the lake. Sure enough, he got three Black Abyss Woods.
She walked around the Black Abyss entrance lake and found that the trees around seemed to be of all types. If you only looked at the appearance, there were pine trees, birch trees, etc., but the items obtained by cutting them down were all Black Abyss wood.
It seems that this thing is related to the place where it is planted. It is only the Black Abyss Wood that is planted by the lake at the entrance of the Black Abyss.
There were quite a lot of trees by the lake at the entrance. Yu Luowei first cut down enough trees for Fang Min, and then teleported back.
During the exchange, Fang Min hesitated for a while, and then gave Yu Luowei a big gift - a large piece of gold ore.
Before Luo Wei could examine the prompt in detail, Fang Min's next message came:
[Fang Min: I accidentally found this while mining today. The system says it's raw ore. If you leave it outside, it will generate gold ore in a certain location. You can use it to grow golden silk trees. However, the size of the gold ore generated depends on the size of the raw ore. This is all I have.]
Yu Luowei: Oh my god, Fang Min, the things you gave me are too valuable! I feel like what I gave you is completely incomparable. I'll go find some Black Abyss Wood for you. If not, I'll buy all your Black Abyss Wood from you!
After getting the gold ore, the prompt was exactly as Fang Min had predicted. After a moment of excitement, Yu Luowei suddenly felt a dilemma: should he leave it outside or in the forest? If he left it outside, he wouldn't be able to plant trees, and if he left it in the forest, he wasn't sure if he could get gold ore.
After thinking about it for a long time and failing to come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties, Yu Luowei decided to put it aside for the time being and upgrade the base.
[Congratulations on upgrading to Level 6 Base! Defense increased by 200. The base has reached the highest level!]
[Congratulations on becoming the first survivor to upgrade their base to the highest level! Received 1 Supply Chest (Red)!]
I was just marveling at how quickly the shelter was upgraded, but I didn't expect the base to be even faster. Yu Luowei went out to take a look at the base's current appearance:
The fountain grew larger, transforming from a small pool into the musical fountains common in squares. The fifth-level fence also became marble columns, but its defensive strength and effectiveness remained unchanged. The road connecting the base gate and the shelter gate also became a wide, open road, and even a horseless carriage appeared on the road.
The base had grown considerably larger, and it would have taken more than ten minutes to walk from the shelter to the base. Yu Luowei tried the carriage, but it didn't move. After checking, he realized it also needed to be connected to a circuit before it could be used.
The base was also connected to the circuit according to the planning drawings in the manual using the copper ore that had been dug before. The power card never stopped running, and Yu Luowei got on the carriage again.
After clicking the start button on the carriage, it started moving and arrived at the gate of the base in just one minute.
This speed is really good. Yu Luowei had the carriage take her back, and she was very satisfied with the upgraded base and shelter. In her two lives combined, her house was less than 200 square meters. Now she finally had the legendary 500-square-meter mansion, or even larger.
Reluctant to leave his house, Yu Luowei very much hoped to take the base and shelter away after clearing the level.
After returning, Yu Luowei placed the previous furnace, stone mill, brick-making machine that was originally placed outside, and the brewing table and weapon modification table that were opened today in the small room on the left side of the first floor and used it as a studio.
Everything else was familiar, except for the weapon modification station, which Yu Luowei studied for a moment longer. This thing not only added new materials to weapons, like the previously acquired fangs, but also repaired the durability of weapons and equipment. While repairs could be done on the crafting page in the manual, those required the original materials to craft a new set of equipment, whereas repairs on the modification station only required crystals.
If it's high-end equipment or weapons, the raw materials are hard to come by, so this modification table is more to Yu Luowei's liking. Since he was already here, Yu Luowei immediately topped up the durability of the Black Abyss suit.
The mature trees from the forest farm were brought to the wood shop. Of course, knowing their uses, Yu Luowei had specially added new and special wood. His points also increased slightly. He also exchanged the wood Lin Zhixia and the others needed for a discounted price, saving them from having to go back to the wood shop.
Next, Yu Luowei began to think about how to combine the forest farm and the raw ore.
Because of the constant work, the forest farm had unknowingly been upgraded to level three. The upgraded forest farm had some new features that Yu Luowei hadn't seen yet, but this time she saw them and they just solved her urgent problem - the forest farm had two new special areas, where materials could be added to modify the environment, special trees could be planted, and by-products could be harvested.
This was like a godsend. Yu Luowei excitedly placed the ore in one of the special areas and some Black Abyss Lake water in another. She had just checked and realized this item couldn't be given away. More precisely, it couldn't leave both its original location and Yu Luowei's. Since Fang Min couldn't grow Black Abyss wood there, Yu Luowei could only try to achieve sustainable development here.
