Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

I heard a system notification.

Cheng Zhuo immediately opened the space and took out the source core that was glowing faintly.

[Advanced Source Core - Tier 1]

[Quality: unknown]

[Effect: Can yield Tier 1 series advancement cores]

[Description: This is an advancement source core reward from the simulated lighthouse. Some card rules have been removed, and both the owner and partner can use it.]

"Even partners can use it..."

Cheng Zhuo's pupils suddenly brightened.

For Kashu, the primary function of the advancement core is to enhance attributes and pathways.

This is also the main difference between the previous and previous levels after advancing to the next level.

To advance to the next level, you must complete an "exclusive task" yourself. This requires either soloing a specific beast or independently completing a high-risk quest issued by the Lighthouse. You cannot even let your teammates finish you off.

But the advancement source core in his hand actually broke this ironclad rule.

That's truly an awesome power!

Cheng Zhuo sighed inwardly.

The advanced source core will be reintroduced into the space.

He wasn't in a hurry to activate it. Since the level was unknown, it would be better to ask Xiao Chanchan to add a luck buff.

With this in mind.

Cheng Zhuo exited again and then stepped into the boundary gate once more.

The Ruins Realm has been refreshed.

Time slipped away quietly amidst his repeated battles.

After collecting twenty, Cheng Zhuo returned to the Firefly Grassland to find the three girls who were fighting monsters.

It was already late.

Adding a luck buff is a logical step.

After a period of hard work, before we knew it, it was already midnight.

The warm yellow light in the RV's bedroom created a particularly cozy atmosphere.

Cheng Zhuo leaned against the headboard.

Raise your hand to open the system status bar, and a pale blue light screen unfolds before your eyes:

[Harmony and Fortune - Self-Healing: You are currently in a state of harmony and fortune with your partner Ruan Qinghe, doubling the body's self-healing effect. Remaining time: 11h58min]

【Harmony and Fortune - Luck: You are currently in the Harmony and Fortune state with your partner, Summer Cicada. Your Luck attribute is temporarily doubled. Remaining duration: 1 hour 22 minutes】

【Harmony and Fortune - Recharge: You are currently in the Harmony and Fortune state with your partner Xia Mo. Your stamina recovery speed is doubled. Remaining duration: 10h55min】

The luck-doubled period was relatively short. Before the three women fell asleep, he took out twenty advancement source cores and gave five to each of them.

They also brought out the system blind kernels they had collected on a regular basis.

Since he couldn't see the three women's luck stats, Cheng Zhuo decided to use these advancement source cores to test them.

Xia Mo and Xia Chan, who were leaning against each other, immediately sat up straight.

I enthusiastically started the blind core mode.

As expected, Heming Fuyun is a cicada with double the luck, truly a lucky star.

Of the five advanced source cores, Xia Chan unearthed two legendary ones.

Cheng Zhuo's luck multiplier effect was also quite good; out of five, one was legendary, three were epic, and one was exquisite.

Xia Mo and Ruan Qinghe are mostly just ordinary people.

The two of them couldn't even get an epic-level item.

Seeing Xia Chan's good luck, Cheng Zhuo had a thought, and 85 Harmony Blind Cores instantly appeared on the bedside table, piling up into a small "crystal core mountain".

These are the harmonious rewards for his hard work with his three daughters over the past few days.

Knowing that his consumable cards were almost used up and that he would have to keep grinding after advancing to the next level, Cheng Zhuo decided to unlock all the blind cores tonight.

The three women all tacitly accepted that Cheng Zhuo possessed spatial abilities, and gradually grew accustomed to his endless stream of amazing abilities.

Amidst bursts of joyful exclamations.

Xia Chan opened 31 epic source cards from 85 Harmony Blind Cores.

It seems that the best cards that can be obtained from the blind core reward of Harmony are epic-level cards. There are all kinds of cards, which is more than enough for each of them to be equipped with an epic-level card set.

Cheng Zhuo picked through the cards and chose one that was very suitable for his current use:

[Summon Stone Armor - Support Card]

[Quality: Epic - Purple]

[Effect: Adds a layer of stone armor to summoned creatures, doubling their physical defense and granting them immunity to standard fire attacks]

[Usage Restrictions: Summoning type, can be stacked with other support cards]

[Description: It is said to be made from the source core stripped from the body of a lava giant]

Cheng Zhuo tried it out, and it worked on his undead summons as well!

With this card, the undead army's strength will be further enhanced.

After allocating the synaptic blind nucleus.

Cheng Zhuo took out a pile of blind cores and stacked them in the corner of the room, instructing:

"Little Chanchan, drive for a little while longer, I'm going out for a bit."

"Great!" Xia Chan immediately perked up again. "We're rich!"

She rubbed her hands together, entering blind box mode once again.

Cheng Zhuo then took three legendary-level advancement cores and went to the roof of the RV alone.

The night breeze carried the coolness of the grassland.

Not far away.

On a grassland glowing with fireflies.

Tao Yaoyao was still riding the jar around hunting, followed by a group of skeleton archers carrying fire bows.

"Perhaps, I could consider making a home in the Void Realm created by the system."

Cheng Zhuo pondered.

Although the battlefield RV is luxurious and spacious, it was still a bit cramped for four people, a child, and a chubby cat.

And every night, he had to send Tao Yaoyao and Guanguan out.

So as not to let them interfere with the war.

Tao Yaoyao and Guanguan have something in common: they spend a lot of time sleeping every day.

Several times when Cheng Zhuo went out to pick them up, Tao Yaoyao would snuggle up to the jar and fall asleep by the car.

This made Cheng Zhuo feel somewhat guilty.

Over the days they spent together, he, like the three women, began to treat this little girl, whose true form was a forbidden object, as his own daughter.

There's no reason to always let your daughter sleep on the grass.

Once the idea of ​​building a house pops into your head, it grows like wildfire.

These ruins before him belonged entirely to him.

Apart from a few mythical beasts that spawn periodically, there's no need to worry about any other dangers.

He had tested it before and found that the things he left behind wouldn't be refreshed along with the monsters, so the only thing he needed to think about now was how to build the house properly.

The size of the items that can be transferred through spatial means is linked to his mental strength.

This system also has clear annotations.

The size of a pick-up item is equal to one cubic meter of the base size plus 1% of the user's spirit value per cubic meter.

With his normal mental strength of 226 points, the size of the object he can move is 3.26m³.

This is clearly far from enough to simply move a house in.

Of course, with money in hand, these are all minor issues.

Cheng Zhuo's gaze fell upon the three advancement cores in his palm—

Right now, advancing to the next level is the most important thing.

All three are legendary series cores, and the series name is "Abyss".

Each enhancement to the biological organism's strength is at level 50.0, with different directions of gain.

Three cores, one of which is named Abyssal Fire.

As soon as Cheng Zhuo's fingertips touched the core surface, a wisp of dark red flame shot out from the "Abyss" pattern and slowly circled around his knuckles.

This core allows his Source attacks to inflict the burning effect of Abyssal Fire.

After collecting all the cores in the sequence.

He can completely ignore fire attacks.

However, Cheng Zhuo's dragon armor form already has the effect of dragon flame, and adding earth fire on top of that is obviously somewhat useless.

The other one increases casting range.

The effect is quite good; under all conditions, the casting range can be increased by several thousand meters.

However, Cheng Zhuo's moves are mostly summoning and melee combat.

The only ranged skill that carries source energy attack is Dragon Armor Skill: Dragon Flame Pulse.

This move doesn't have any concept of casting range.

"This one is more suitable for Qinghe or Xiachan," Cheng Zhuo murmured.

Ruan Qinghe's Holy Light spell requires her to be close to teammates to be effective for each healing, while Xia Chan's Petrifying Gaze requires locking onto a target.

Thinking of this, he immediately put both away and turned his attention to the last core.

This core is deeper than the previous two, with occasional streaks of blood-red appearing in its dark luster, like thin blood vessels slowly flowing.

Core name: Blood Feast.
