I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 49 Try?

The dry season does not mean there is no rain.

However, according to records, the monsters did not become violent or rampant during the spring and summer rains in previous years.

This also resolved a long-standing question in his mind: what naturally occurring rainy season could last for a whole month with rain all day long?
The rain during the rainy season is different from the rain in ordinary spring and summer.

Like
He couldn't find a suitable adjective for the time being.

go to bed.

It was just dawn. After seeing Zhou Mo off and acquiring this strange skin, he didn't linger any longer. Instead, he walked down the city wall towards the wooden house, intending to go back inside to sleep. He would have to continue paving the road after he woke up.

To build a highway that can be traveled at night.

Whether it's used to charge fees or to serve the campsite.

Both are entirely beneficial and without any harm.

The main thing is.

The special upgrade path gained from upgrading the Ghost Fire to level 3 is only effective during the rainy season, so you must use up your daily free quota and not waste it.

Even if you don't need it right now, you can craft it and store it in the warehouse for later use.

There are still nearly three hours until the eternal night falls.

Chen Fan woke up.

He built a brand new "tricycle" and took Qi Chong away from the camp into the Eternal Night to continue laying his highway.

The vehicle traveled at a non-uniform speed through the rainy season wilderness.

Standing in front of the car, Chen Fan was laying down one copper pipe after another, one end to the other, in a straight line.

He laid the copper pipe one meter deep in the wasteland, which is the deepest point that can be laid. Normally, it would be difficult to damage unless someone intentionally did so, but even if it were damaged, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

Only the damaged copper pipe will fail.

The ghost fire will continue to flow in the copper pipes connected to the "camps", so as long as a camp is built at each end, even if an area is destroyed, only that area will be disabled and will not affect the overall situation.

just
Only he can maintain these copper pipes.

If the camp can survive the rainy season and grow larger, he can't possibly be busy maintaining some buildings every day.

Therefore, an additional architect must be present in the camp.

The architect doesn't need to build any structures; they only need to be responsible for the maintenance of the existing buildings.

Architects, weapon refiners, alchemists, and those who handle the tasks below them, etc.

To develop a force, people are indispensable.

After the rainy season ends.

He needs to go to Jiangbei City to recruit a group of people.

However, recruiting an architect is extremely difficult and not a simple matter; it requires careful planning and waiting for the right opportunity.

"Stationmaster."

at this time.

Standing atop the tricycle, manipulating the power lever, Qi Chong wiped the sweat from his brow. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "There's something I've been wondering whether I should say."

“The night before, I accidentally discovered that Wang Mazi’s men had secretly hoarded some strange stones, which they had not handed over when they first joined the camp.”

"."

Chen Fan frowned slightly, but did not stop what he was doing.

Wang Mazi's subordinates.

They had always been inconspicuous in the camp, working diligently. On their first night in the camp, they faced the biggest crisis to date: the "Flesh Worm Tide," which nearly depleted their supply of strange stones.

Xiao Qiu and Zhou Mo risked their lives to leave the city and bring back the mysterious stone to keep the camp's arrow towers operational.

Wang Mazi's men, despite clearly possessing the treacherous stone, ignored it and allowed Zhou Mo to leave the city with a near-suicidal mindset; their intentions were somewhat despicable.
He can understand selfishness.

After all, who wouldn't think about their own interests?

But selfishness in this situation is foolish.

If the camp is destroyed, who will survive?
Wang Mazi's subordinates have now been assigned by him to follow Zhou Mo and are responsible for collecting resources at other sites.

After a moment of silence.

Chen Fan then continued, "Does Wang Mazi know about this?"

"Wang Mazi probably doesn't know." "Did he tell anyone else?"

"I didn't tell anyone."

"Okay." Chen Fan nodded slightly and continued what he was doing. "I understand. Don't tell anyone about this."

"clear."

Qi Chong nodded emphatically and continued to urge the power lever without mentioning the matter again. The main reason he didn't want to talk about it was that he didn't want to disrupt the current harmonious atmosphere in the camp, but he also felt that this kind of person might bring disaster to the camp one day.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that I should let the station manager know.

After laying today's copper pipes.

Chen Fan and Qi Chong returned to the camp together and created a new level 1 farm next to the original farmland, which Qi Chong used to transplant crops brought back from other sites.

Only then did we begin today's camp inspection.

Eternal night is about to fall.

There is less than an hour left.

"."

Chen Fan, standing on the city wall, looked at the slightly dim strange stone in his palm and sighed softly. Yesterday, he had asked Zhou Mo for a cultivation technique, which allowed him to absorb strange stones and increase his own cultivation.

According to this world's standards, he is a Level 1 architect.

In reality, he was just a level 1 cultivator with a lord's panel.

In this world, the higher the architect's level, the less energy is wasted when building a building, the more energy can be controlled, and the more advanced the building can be.

What sets him apart from other architects is...

He can build buildings simply by looking at the panels.

Equivalent to a max-level architect.

Raising his own level won't improve his ability to build structures, but it will improve his physical fitness. It's always good to have better physical fitness, and it won't hurt to absorb some strange stones to practice his skills when he has nothing to do.

but--

The absorption rate is too slow.

According to Zhou Mo.

To advance from a Level 1 cultivator to a Level 2 cultivator, one needs to collect approximately 50 Mysterious Stones.

The specific absorption rate depends on the grade of the cultivation technique and one's own talent.

It took Zhou Mo a year to advance from a Level 1 cultivator to a Level 2 cultivator, even with limited training time but an abundance of strange stones.

He did the math.

If he ensures he has enough strange stones and dedicates several hours each day to practicing, using the cultivation method Zhou Mo gave him, it would take him at least 6 months to absorb all 50 strange stones and reach level 2 cultivator.

This speed is really not fast.

The main issue is that even after reaching level 2, my physical fitness hasn't improved much.

It's not cost-effective.

That's what he used to think; he always felt that there wasn't much difference between level 1 and level 2.

but
Ever since Zhou Mo and his men encountered the fake human monster in the wilderness, Zhou Mo ran back on his own, but his men were dead.

He knew it.

In critical moments, there is still a difference between Level 1 and Level 2.

That's why he asked Zhou Mo for the cultivation method and prepared to start practicing. Level 2 is better than level 1, and every little bit of improvement in his physical fitness is better than nothing.

"."

Chen Fan suddenly thought of something, turned around, and looked thoughtfully at the wooden house next to the eerie fire in the city.

He never upgraded the wooden house.

It's just a house to shelter from the wind and rain, but perhaps we could try upgrading it?
Maybe there's an upgrade path that can speed up your training?
Try?

Try it.

Upgrading the cabin doesn't consume many Ghost Stones; he still has about 300 Ghost Stones left, so he can give it a try.
