Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 238: Gains of over 300,000 Hall Points in a Single World!

The next day, feeling refreshed, Li Xia pulled out the black charcoal that had crawled into her bed.

Then it brushed away the howling that was floating in front of it.

Yesterday's five hundred materials completely depleted my Qi value.

After a night of deep sleep, I have recovered to about 60%.

Such a recovery speed would make any mage green with envy.

The power of Zhou Tian's passive breathing method lies precisely in this.

Because it subtly changes your breathing patterns.

Even in sleep, they breathe in a specific rhythm.

Good morning, boss!

Aowu opened his mouth and let out a long yawn. Although he was a remnant soul, he could sleep, which surprised Li Xia quite a bit.

You'll get used to it after a long time.

Yesterday, Aowu and Heitan went off to play somewhere, and Li Xia didn't pay any attention to them.

"Awoo, go buy me some things later."

He immediately transferred 30,000 of the 40,000 Hall Points he had just acquired.

"Thirty thousand?"

Aowu immediately perked up, and after a moment's thought, he knew where the hall point came from.

"Wow, Lancelot is pretty savvy."

It yanked the ball of black charcoal up with its tail, grabbed Li Xia's shopping list, and immediately dashed out.

After dealing with his personal matters, Li Xia confidently opened the room construction panel for the palace.

"Let's do it!"

When Aowu and Heitan returned from their shopping trip, their jaws dropped open as they stared at the crooked, empty room in front of them.

"Boss, if this doesn't work, how about we just make a template?"

Awoo used its short paws to press its chin back down, and said with a complicated expression.

"Hmm, the freedom is too limited, it's not suitable for me to perform well."

I'm a huge fan of Cities: Skylines and Planet Zoo.

Li Xia readily agreed, opened the room template, and selected the ecological plantation.

As the Hall Points were deducted, streams of light appeared in the room before them.

The entire crooked and twisted room seemed to come alive.

In the blink of an eye, a beautiful ecological plantation appeared.

The previous house was 500 square meters, but after upgrading to Tier 3, the living area increased by 300 square meters.

In addition, the merit rank has been upgraded from [Elementary School Student] to [Middle School Student], so an extra 200 square meters have been added.

The current living space for my personal room is a solid 1000 square meters, with no shared area whatsoever.

Li Xia quickly adjusted the parameters on the floating panel in front of him.

The living area will be adjusted to 200 square meters, while the decoration style will remain unchanged.

The ecological park is 800 square meters, and with the addition of the layered structure and vertical planting, the actual planting area can reach nearly 2,000 square meters.

That's three mu of land, which is barely enough.

"Awoo, let's begin."

Aowu and Heitan immediately released the automated planting machinery and robots they had previously purchased.

It cost a total of over 20,000 yuan. These planting robots and automated planting troughs can be completely unmanned.

This is important to the apostles.

In no time, the once empty ecological plantation was filled with these automated machines.

After exchanging some seeds directly from the hall, these extremely advanced planting robots placed the seeds into the grooves of the assembly line.

Compared to directly exchanging for finished products, seeds are much cheaper.

The next step is the most crucial one.

[Please select the time flow rate for the planting area]

That's right, different time flow rates can be selected directly in the planting area.

Otherwise, given the apostles' precarious lives, they might plant a crop and die before they could even harvest it.

[2x flow rate: 20000 Hall Points/half a year]

[3x flow rate: 30000 Hall Points/half a year]

[4x flow rate: 40000 Hall Points/half a year]

[5x flow rate: 50000 Hall Points/half a year]

[6x flow rate: 100000 Hall Points/half a year]

Starting from six times, the points for the Time Acceleration Hall increase wildly, and at seven times, it's definitely not something the average person can accept.

Even small guilds would feel the pinch.

Once the flow rate reached ten times the normal speed, the required Hall Points suddenly dropped to 20,000.

And one Time-Space Coin.

Even super guilds will start to feel the pinch now, since no matter how much high-level resources they have, they can't flow to low-level ones.

At lower levels, each spacetime coin has a price far exceeding its intrinsic value.

Aowu and Heitan over there had already started calculating:
"The time frame for dungeon runs is not fixed, but it is generally controlled to be around one month."

"Meow!" Black Charcoal quickly gave his answer.

"Oh, so with a flow rate of 3x, a single world can harvest one crop, and with a flow rate of 6x, it can harvest two crops?"

After thinking for a while, Li Xia finally made a decision.

A gleaming copper coin slowly emerged in his palm; this was the only one he had left.

It was also the last gift from the apostle who died in the Sunset City Square of Demon Prison Star.

"Boss, should we go for ten times the speed?"

Upon seeing the Time-Space Coin, Aowu was immediately taken aback and asked in astonishment.

“Hmm!” Li Xia nodded. This was something he had been considering after using up five hundred sets of materials yesterday.

"I'm not actually short of Time-Space Copper Coins, and my skills are currently at a fairly high level."

For example, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the ultimate skill would probably require Time-Space Silver Coins to advance to the next level.

Simply using copper coins is unlikely to be effective enough.

Because of his strength, Li Xia's missions are much more difficult than those of the other apostles, but the rewards are also extremely generous.

He can obtain them in almost every world, and just comparing the amount of Time-Space Copper Coins, the amount he obtained is definitely more than the seeds of those top guilds.

In addition, there's the Time Chamber, a powerful weapon that can be used once per world.

I wonder how many resources it saved Li Xia.

That time chamber, whose value is immeasurable, is the greatest legacy that the Transcendental Palace left to Li Xia that he can use at this stage.

"That's true, copper coins are indeed becoming less and less useful."

"Most importantly—"

Li Xia directly shared the recipe for unlocking the level 3 Harmony Technique.

[Enhancing Agent], [Large Nutrient], [Secret Medicine]

The reinforcing agent cannot be used alone; it is more often used as a catalyst and is one of the more advanced blending materials.

However, the attributes of [Nutritional Supplement - Large] and [Secret Medicine] are quite remarkable.

[Nutritional Supplement - Large (Regular)]

[Rank: Green - Ultimate (Effective within Rank 3)]

[Producer: Apostle No. **** (customizable)]

[Type: Recovery Item/Consumable]

[Effect: Increases maximum stamina by 15% and slightly increases stamina recovery speed]

[Duration: Depending on the intensity of the activity, minimum duration: 25 minutes, maximum duration: 3 hours]

[Review: Perhaps you could call it a stronger, safer, and more effective stimulant?]

And a secret remedy made from nutrients [Secret Remedy (Common)]

[Rank: Blue (Valid within Rank 3)]

[Producer: Apostle No. **** (customizable)]

[Type: Recovery Item/Consumable]

[Effect: Restores 3500 health points and increases maximum stamina by 15%. (Stamina bonuses do not stack.)]

[Maximum dosage per world: 5; beyond 5, the effect decreases by 60% for each additional dose]

[Duration: Depending on the intensity of the activity, minimum duration: 20 minutes, maximum duration: 2 hours]

[Evaluation: A drug that the ancient Shured Dynasty was proud of, standard equipment for combat personnel, with powerful effects]

Aowu's eyes lit up instantly, and Black Charcoal immediately raised its claws to calculate how much the [Secret Medicine] could sell for.

Black Charcoal, who quickly transformed into a little thief cat, came to a conclusion:

I absolutely won't make a move if it's below 5000!
What does 3500 points of health mean? For a regular Apostle, that's a 100% recovery!
Plus, it also has the effect of increasing stamina, making it extremely cost-effective!
In Aowu's opinion, this wasn't a secret medicine at all; it was clearly golden beans!
"Boss, the Harmony Spell is only level three, right? What if it gets higher?"

Awoo wiped away a mouthful of 'drool' that wasn't actually there.

The copper coins from this time and space were spent too easily; who says they weren't worth it?
Even if each harvest only yields enough materials for 20 secret potions, a single harvest can still amount to 100,000!

With a 10x speedup, that's at least 60 secret potions, and 300,000 per world!
Even with the rapid price increases at Tier 3, 30 Hall Points are more than enough to buy a purple-grade, top-tier piece of equipment.

in other words
One of the ultimate rewards in Monster Hunter World is the 'Harmony' system, which was once overlooked by Li Xia.

It is displaying its inherent charm, and every blend seems to exude the scent of money.

Let those damn hall points flood my account!!
[You have selected 10x time flow!]

The copper coin in Li Xia's palm suddenly trembled and disappeared into the void. Immediately afterwards, a strange glow rose up from the plantation.

Tiny green shoots were slowly sprouting in the soil, and the robot moved like a monster, darting back and forth in the room at an extremely fast speed.

Surprisingly, neither Li Xia nor the two children sensed anything unusual.

This is the power of a temple!

Satisfied, Li Xia closed the door, stretched her arms and legs, and took a deep breath:

"After a few days of rest, it's time to get moving!"
You have entered the Arena (Tier 3)

Li Xia looked at the familiar preparation room and, instead of rushing to match, directly opened the current ranking information.

[Testing Executioner Competition Points]

The Executioner's competition score is 0.

[Current ranking: 5+]

[Second-Tier Arena - Supreme Badge Detected]

[Competition Points +1000]

[Current ranking: 34124]

I didn't expect the Supreme Badge to add a thousand points directly.

However, this saved a lot of effort.

The third tier is quite different from the second tier. Among the second tier, the difference in various attributes between the newly promoted apostles and the top second tier members is at most around 10 points.

But the extreme value of the third order is 50 points!
The increased availability of the online system has also allowed the apostles to participate in more rounds of world events.

For top apostles, that means more resources and more skills.

That's why the third stage is the final link in perfecting the system.

Before they were fully prepared, the apostles would even prefer to use special means to postpone their participation in the fourth-order assessment.

Li Xia estimated that his attributes were at most in the lower middle of the third tier, even considering his skills.
It would at most be in the middle to upper-middle range, and in terms of percentages, it should be between 40% and 50%.

"Try the water first!"

I decisively pressed the match button.
[Looking for a match]

[We have found an opponent with a similar current ranking, and we will soon begin preparing for the match!]

[Number of spectators for this match: 5]

[Venue is being randomly selected]

[Battle begins!]

The scene suddenly went black, but the teleportation was quite gentle.

When their vision returned, they had been transported to a place resembling a snowfield.

A few scattered figures sat in the spectator stands on the side, holding up banners.

Faint cheers drifted in through the wind and snow:

"Gray! Let him see what a future mage is like!"

"Give this brat a good spanking with your wand!"

"You're the best!"

Master?

Li Xia's interest was suddenly piqued, and he raised one hand and shook his index finger.

Aowu and Heitan, who had been poised to provide support at any moment, immediately relaxed.

This gesture means: The boss is going to go one-on-one!

About a hundred meters away, the apostle named Gray raised his middle finger at the viewing platform.

But their faces were beaming with smiles, clearly indicating that the team had a good relationship.

He finally acquired the crucial skill to complete the system with the help of his teammates in the last world.

A lot of resources were invested, and at the captain's suggestion, actual combat was used instead of training.

Looking at the endless white snowfield around him, Gray sighed regretfully.

The opponent's luck is really bad, especially considering they are an ice mage.

This is his main battlefield!

[Battle begins!]

The transparent barrier that had been blocking both sides suddenly disappeared.

Gray's smile remained unchanged, and he jumped back a step.

Then, as if the snow beneath him had come to life, it lifted him up and suspended him five or six meters in the air.

The tip of the azure staff gleamed slightly.

Several sharp ice spears rose from the thick white snow on the ground.

Then, skimming along the snow, it sped silently toward Li Xia.

"boom!"

The snow beneath Li Xia suddenly exploded, and the flying snowflakes briefly obscured her vision.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light, as thick as a pencil, pierced through the snowflakes and instantly passed through space to arrive in front of Gray.

Suddenly, a shield, as white as a snowflake, appeared out of nowhere in the air.

He blocked the attack effortlessly.

Li Xia's eyes lit up. Oh? A third-tier apostle is indeed different. The composure he showed when facing the Strongest Appraisal Technique is something that second-tier novices can't compare to.

and
With his gaze slightly lowered, the ice spears that were close to the ground were already in front of him.

If it weren't for exceptional eyesight and attention, it would be difficult to spot the ice gun that blends almost seamlessly with the snow.

Using the fluttering snowflakes as cover, Li Xia shifted her feet and dodged the ice spear.

Leaving an afterimage behind him, he silently leaped into the air, unleashing his Flying Technique and charging straight towards Gray.

Gray's smile grew even brighter; he had experienced this kind of battle far too many times before.

Whenever they fight against a warrior, they will absolutely try every means to get close.
What a pity, this is a snowfield!

The staff in his hand suddenly burst forth with ripples of light.

Gray swung his arm down with force.

Ultimate Skill: Ice and Snow Prison!

The outcome is decided!
