The Lord of Glimmer plants the sun in the eternal night.

"good."

Looking at the arrow tower, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride. Having an additional arrow tower gave him a greater sense of security.

The surrounding villages and patrol posts may look well-equipped, but none of them are as practical as this.

only...

Jiang Chuan hesitated slightly. There would definitely be a big wave tomorrow night. Could these two level 1 arrow towers really hold out?

He still has 28 ether and 15 flints.

Should we upgrade the entire system to level 2 first?

If the arrow towers aren't powerful enough, then no matter how many flints you collect, you won't live to use them.

Lift!!

Following Jiang Chuan's decision, he first spent 2 points of Ether to upgrade the "Level 1 Construction" of the "Tools" and "Hammer" to Level 2.

Next, ten flints transformed into semi-solid liquids and flew out of the fire spring, disappearing into the two arrow towers as if swimming in the air.

The two arrow towers also began to slowly change. The original three-ridged arrow towers became five-ridged arrow towers, and their size also increased.

Level 2 Arrow Tower

【Function: Automatic Attack】

[Special Abilities: Level 2 Monster Attack, Level 2 Charge, Level 2 Durability, Level 2 Rate of Fire, Level 2 Range.]

[Durability: 400/400]

...

"It should work."

After doing all this, Jiang Chuan looked up and nodded to himself.

As for the level 3 arrow tower, he needs to upgrade the [House] to level 2 before he can continue to upgrade it.

but--

Jiang Chuan glanced at it and saw that upgrading the house to level 2 required 17 Ether Points and 4 Flintstones. Unless he also refined the two Flintstones used for lighting, the overall upgrade could not be completed for the time being.

After a moment's thought, he decided that he could first light up a few key nodes and modify half of the system.

For example, it can ward off evil spirits, be sturdy, and durable.

The previous battle demonstrated the crucial importance of enhancing the protective capabilities of housing.

At the very least, it can provide him with a safe place to output.

With that thought in mind, he picked up the wooden hammer, scooped up two pieces of "cement," and headed towards the wooden house.

[Level 1 Wooden House (3/7)]

【Function: Heat dissipation】

【Characteristics: Level 1 (Windproof, Cold-resistant), Level 2 (Durable, Evil-repelling, Sturdy)】

[Durability: 400/400]

...

【Ether-7】

...

The wooden house hasn't changed much, except that it's now more resistant to damage from monsters.

"call..."

I only have 5 points of ether and 2 flints left. I'm back to square one in the middle of the night.

Go to sleep; thinking about these things is getting a bit out of line!

...

The next day, before the night fog had completely dissipated, Jiang Chuan got up.

He squatted down by the farmland early in the morning, staring intently at the land without blinking.

Soon, the familiar feeling came: incredibly faint silver threads intertwined in Jiang Chuan's pores, rippling into waves and forming a very faint shimmer on his skin.

It's been upgraded!

It rose two levels in a row!

[Talent Sequence: Cultivator (Tier 0, Stage 7) (3%↑)]

...

After verification, he no longer hesitated and directly picked the two mutated fruits, each the size of a baby's fist, and put them directly into his mouth to eat them.

The taste of this mutated fruit is completely different from ordinary crops. It has a light moisture content and is crisp like an apple, making it surprisingly delicious.

He finished one in just a few bites, and it turned into a warm current in his stomach.

A warmth spread from his stomach throughout his body. Jiang Chuan suddenly stood up and stood in the wind and snow. His face visibly flushed, and his whole body felt slightly hot.

In addition, the effect of his talent sequence advancing two levels in a row made his body seem to cheer, as if he had been starving for a long time and was finally full.

An hour later, the warmth in his stomach dissipated, and the shimmering light on the surface disappeared. Jiang Chuan went to the water tank, carefully compared himself to the water's surface, and found that he had become even more handsome.

"And, the eyes have become even more..."

Her clear eyes were bright and became very expressive.

Jiang Chuan rubbed his eyes. Even in the dim night sky, he could still capture the details of light and shadow, and he could see further in the dark.

At this moment, his resolute expression carried a hint of heroism, and as he clenched his fist, one could clearly feel an increased strength within him.

If Jiang Chuan grew up eating coarse grains and wild vegetables, then after rising two levels and having two mutated fruits, he grew up eating meat, eggs, and milk.

Both are healthy development, but their value and mental outlook are completely different.

so comfy!

"No wonder the mutated fruit is so precious. It's practically a divine object that strengthens the body and nourishes the spirit. If I could have ten or so kilograms of it, I would be willing to become Shennong (the legendary Chinese farmer)."

"Yeah, I can actually eat about ten pounds."

Jiang Chuan took out the fruit pit he had just finished eating; it was exactly the same as the seed that had dropped when he killed the monster.

There were even two!

Arriving at the [Level 1 Farmland] again, he couldn't wait to plant it there.

Next, bury a flint in the soil to restore the farmland's durability.

Just wait three more days, and we'll be able to enjoy this delicious food again!

Of course, Jiangchuan hopes that its neighbor, the sweet potato, can also mutate, although the probability is very low.

But if he succeeds, he can't imagine what it would be like for him to eat mutated fruits for every meal.

"Ah Shui, dinner's ready!"

A soft, soul-stirring sound came from inside the room.

Jiang Chuan then stopped daydreaming and went back.

"Um?"

Ye Xuan noticed Jiang Chuan's change at a glance, and her face immediately turned bright red.

"Ah... Ah Shui..."

"Um?"

"We can have a child..."

"what?"

"In that case, your builder talent can be inherited. Of course, you'll definitely become a very skilled builder in the future. Hmm, what I mean is..."

Jiang Chuan laughed upon hearing this: "Well, you should take care of your health first, and then we'll consider this."

"I will eat more." Ye Xuan nodded emphatically.

Jiang Chuan shook his head and didn't say anything more.

After eating and drinking his fill, he carried a bow and a gun and went out.

Standing beside the bright fire spring, gazing out at the wilderness, the dim mountain shadows in the distance are faintly visible.

"Being targeted by Qin Kexing and his group is like having thorns in my back. Your pressure is not only denying me time, but also denying yourselves time," Jiang Chuan murmured.

He walked out into the wilderness, preparing to go into the mountains.

"Let's scout ahead first." Night has just fallen, and the mountains are shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to discern anything. Few people venture out at this time of day, especially since the patrol team had just finished a heavy drinking session yesterday.

Of course, Jiang Chuan did not intend to take any extreme actions.

Although his strength has improved considerably, he may still find it difficult to cope with a genuine combat force.

But revenge should not be delayed overnight.

"It's not that I necessarily have to confront them head-on."

Most importantly, with the Hundred Ghosts on the Night today, he can think of a way to deal with these people first.

"I'll trick you guys." Jiang Chuan strode into the forest.

He knew the outposts of each patrol group, but most of the time, those people lived at the main outpost.

So he walked resolutely in one direction.

The wind was very strong, and the snow was still falling. This kind of environment in the mountains was favorable to him, as it could erase the traces he left behind.

After traversing vast forests and crossing several mountains, he approached his destination.

A red glow emanated from a mountain peak, where a fire spring, barely approaching level one, was located. Although not as bright as the one in Star Guardian Village, it was much better than the one in Snow Eagle Ridge.

The conditions were quite good for the patrol team's base.

This place was once occupied by a powerful mutated creature, which was surrounded and killed by Qin Kexing and his men several years ago.

Jiang Chuan observed from a neighboring mountain peak; his eyesight has now greatly improved.

They could clearly see the fiery glow flowing across the opposite side, and several wooden houses built on the flat ground, with figures moving about.
