I summon the heroic spirits of China in the infinite world.

When Dawn returned to the territory, it was almost dark.

The most urgent task is to quickly convert the gains into cash.

"I now have two choices."

Standing in front of the wooden house, he looked at the two [Cube Stone Upgrade Cards] in his hand.

Upgrade the communication stone and exploration stone, or upgrade the master cube.

Since the main cube is already at LV2, upgrading it requires two [Cube Upgrade Cards].

However, both the communication stone and the exploration stone are LV1, so only one is needed.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to first see what upgrade options the two sub-cubes could provide.

First, I placed one [Cube Stone Upgrade Card] on the Exploration Stone.

Your Monster Detection Stone can be upgraded to LV2, and you can choose from the following effects.

[1. The diameter of the affected area has been increased to 10 meters.]

2. There is a chance to obtain information about monsters of higher levels.

"Both options are actually quite good."

Li Ming was somewhat tempted.

The current detection stone is only 5 meters in diameter, so it cannot be detected if the ghost does not enter through the city wall entrance, as it did last time.

Doubling the diameter can mitigate the potential negative impact of this situation to some extent.

As for obtaining information about monsters of higher levels, it means that if your main cube is currently at level 2, the level of detail in the investigation results may be affected if you encounter a monster that is higher than level 2.

LV3, LV4, and LV5 monsters might not be a big deal, but if a LV10 monster comes along, you might not even see its name.

Choosing option 2 will mitigate this negative impact.

However, upgrading the main cube to LV3 is essentially the same thing.

Option 2 is only meaningful when the main cube is at a very high level and difficult to upgrade.

Simply put, it's something I don't really need right now.

Let's take a look at the other cubic stone.

Your communication stone can be upgraded to LV2, and you can choose from the following effects.

[1. You can create one private channel.]

[2. The number of cube coins consumed when using channels has been reduced.]

"So that's how private channels are created. No wonder I couldn't find them before."

"That means that Bai Ye's small group channel indicates that someone already possesses a LV2 communication stone."

Li Ming stroked his chin.

However, these two options for the communication stone were not to his liking.

Unless there are some excess [Cube Stone Upgrade Cards], or the Communication Stone can produce some special effects after being upgraded to a higher level, it seems that there is not much need to upgrade.

So after careful consideration, he decided to upgrade the main cube.

Your main cube has been upgraded to LV3.

Please choose one of the following effects.

[1. Increase the radiation area by 10 square meters.]

2. Slightly weakens monsters within the area.

[3. Randomly obtain one permanent effect, with a small chance of obtaining a rare effect.]

"As expected, it's the same old three options...choose option 3."

Because he had obtained the [Cube Stone Upgrade Card] from the other party, he asked Bai Ye some basic questions about it on the way back.

In fact, options 1 and 2 can be obtained through other means, such as deploying cubes with other functions, or using [Cube Enhancement Cards] specifically designed for enhancement.

Therefore, option 3, which you chose, was correct from the beginning.

[Random options loading...]

You have gained a permanent effect: Third Eye.

[You can gain a new perspective when you touch the cube.]

"What a pity, it's not a rare, permanent effect."

Dawn tried placing her palm on the cubic stone, then a thought struck her...

It was as if my soul had left my body; my perspective floated up lightly.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a God's-eye view overlooking the entire territory.

It can also be zoomed in and out, and moved closer or further away.

It's like the third-person perspective when playing a game.

"But it works very well and is quite practical."

After trying it for a few minutes, he said he was very satisfied.

In this way, when defending territory in the future, I won't have to risk my life by going to the edge of battle like before.

Thinking back to the time when I realized that if it weren't for the scarecrow warning, I would have almost been attacked by a ghost, I felt a little scared.

You can hide completely next to the main cube and overlook the entire map, giving command from a distance.

"As for this card..."

After using the [Cube Stone Upgrade Card], Dawn flipped his wrist and pulled out the [Level 1 Upgrade Card (Breaking Momentum)].

The upgrade cards are like this, each corresponding to one of the seven major systems.

However, there is a small problem: strictly speaking, none of his Heroic Spirits belong to the Destruction type.

Only when the spirit's essence is awakened for the first time can the true nature of the heroic spirit be determined.

"But I didn't expect that this card could be used immediately."

After examining it for a while, Li Ming found that it was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

In other words, even without awakening the essence characteristics, one can still advance to the next level.

The only entity that can activate this card is Guan Yu.

Because only he can awaken the essence of the Destruction system.

[Would you like to consume 500 cubic coins and an upgrade card to upgrade this Servant?]

[Please note that after being promoted, this Servant cannot awaken non-Destruction type Spirit Essence traits.]

"So that's what it means..."

Out of caution, he reopened Guan Yu's awakening page.

【Lone Warrior - Trait】: Does not accept external healing effects, attacks have a 10% lifesteal effect.

This trait is a Breakthrough type and requires 100 Breakthrough Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

[Air Blade - Trait]: Gains ranged attack ability, but attack power is reduced by 50% when releasing a ranged attack.

This trait is a Breakthrough type and requires 100 Breakthrough Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

[Lingheng - Trait]: Increases all attributes by 3%.

This trait is of the Balance type and requires 100 Balance Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

"Upgrade."

Anyway, he never intended to choose [Lingheng] in the first place.

Let's see what attributes it will grant after the upgrade.

The Level 1 Upgrade Card (Broken Force) in his hand then transformed into a wisp of light and was injected into Guan Yu's body.

[Mmm...drink!]

A brilliant light instantly enveloped Guan Yu's body, and was ultimately shattered into dust by his furious roar.

And his panel finally changed.

Guan Yu: Tier 3 LV2

[Exorcising Evil - Passive]: Guan Yu deals 30% more damage to evil-type enemies.

[Solo Journey to the Banquet - Passive]: When there are no allied units within a 10-meter radius of Guan Yu, his attack power increases by 20%.

Before Li Ming could react, a new panel notification popped up.

[Milestone Achieved: Advance 1 Heroic Spirits to Tier 2.]

[Next stage: Advance 1/3 of the Heroic Spirits to Tier 2.]

[Received 1000 Cube Coins and 1 Huaxia Heroic Spirit Card.]

"So there's a milestone hidden here!"

It has to be said that this was an unexpected surprise.
