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

But when Brother Hu and the other two were killed, their spirits instantly turned into blue specks of light and vanished without a trace.

Before long, dawn arrived at the place where the three had been killed.

He gave the Five Tiger Generals the order to continue clearing out the monsters, while the remaining heroic spirits became his personal bodyguards.

At this moment, the cards lay scattered on the ground, all alone.

Being cautious, he first took a closer look to make sure that the items didn't have any curses or anything like before, before picking them up one by one.

"What a bumper harvest..."

Looking at these cards, he couldn't help but sigh.

First are two upgrade cards: [Level 1 Upgrade Card (Rage)] and [Level 1 Upgrade Card (Balance)].

Needless to say, these two cards correspond perfectly to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's factions, respectively.

Satisfied, I put away the upgrade card and continued to look for other drops.

Several level 1 city walls add up to more than 50 meters in length, but they're not worth much.

Moreover, I've already reached my limit on level 1 city walls, but they're still worth keeping.

Perhaps the next instance will require an even larger territory, so it might come in handy.

The last card is also a good one.

"Cube Stone Card".

He quickly checked.

[Recovery Stone]: A type of cubic stone that automatically accumulates energy; consuming energy can heal injuries.

"Great stuff, absolutely great stuff."

Li Ming's eyes lit up.

The three of them, including Brother Hu, were involved in murder, robbery, and theft of treasures for resale. If this card were to be sold, its value would certainly be high.

But he definitely wouldn't sell it; he desperately needs it himself.

"We'll deploy it as soon as we get back."

He tucked all his spoils into his pocket and looked around again.

The Five Tiger Generals have cleared out most of the skeletons in the Stone Forest. This place was originally a stronghold where Brother Hu and his group raised monsters, and there aren't many monsters left.

The two monster strongholds dropped one [Mountain Grape Tree] card and only cube coins, totaling around 800.

After we finished tidying up, it was already getting late.

It's probably too late to rush back, and there's not enough time to wait for the [Substitute Straw Man] to cool down.

"That means you've fulfilled your mission."

So Li Ming took out the [Return to Town Card].

After a thirty-second guidance session, he felt a blur before his eyes and found himself standing next to the main cube.

The first thing to do upon returning to the territory is to apply Zhuge Liang's enchantment to the Rainbow Stone.

With a 20% increase in production efficiency, it's naturally better to enchant as early as possible.

Then, there are the things that need to be done every day.

That means opening the map function of the main cube and checking the distance to that overseas summoner.

Based on my observations over the past few days, the other party has been moving at a fairly constant speed.

It will probably take about 17 or 18 days to get here.

Finally, it's time to deploy the buildings.

[Do you wish to spend 200 cubic coins to construct this building?]

First, there's the grapevine; it's a bit too tall to be placed indoors.

So Li Ming placed it outside a house, about 2 or 3 meters away.

"Speaking of which, grapes don't grow on vines, do they?"

"The fruit won't ripen until tomorrow; I wonder how big a bunch will be."

Looking at the malnourished and somewhat withered tree, Li Ming murmured to himself.

The next thing to set up is the [Return Stone].

[Do you wish to spend 1000 cubic coins to construct this building?]

"Holy crap, this is way too expensive."

This is the most expensive cubic stone that Dawn has ever encountered so far.

The usage fee is acceptable; it shows 100 cubic coins within a 10-kilometer radius, and an additional 100 for every additional 10 kilometers.

Based on his current activity range, the cost of returning to town once will not exceed 300 cubic coins.

The warning stone should be placed in a relatively open area.

[Do you wish to spend 500 cubic coins to construct this building?]

With this, there's no need to leave Guan Yu to guard the house anymore.

Finally, the item to deploy is the [Recovery Stone].

[Do you wish to spend 1500 cubic coins to construct this building?]

"Great, something even more expensive has appeared."

Li Ming felt somewhat helpless. He suddenly realized that the 5000 cubic coins he had received from the milestone weren't going to last that long.

Financial freedom? That's just wishful thinking.

After awakening several heroic spirits and deploying some buildings, the cost is almost up.

As for the location of the restoration stone, he chose a relatively open space.

hum...

With a faint blue light flashing by, a crystal stone radiating a soft white light appeared on the ground.

This stone is different from other cubic stones; its surface is smooth like jade, and you can vaguely see liquid flowing slowly inside.

A progress bar and instructions appeared on the surface of the stone.

[Distance to full: 4:59:59]

"This takes way too long to fully charge."

Li Ming reached out and pressed his hand against the surface of the stone, feeling a cool, refreshing sensation.

After a brief test, it turns out that Zhuge Liang's enchantment [Coordination] can indeed affect [Recovery Stone].

原本的效率是1小时20%充能，提升20%效率的话就变成1小时24%。

So it only takes a little over 4 hours to fully charge.

So he ate something and then took a short nap.

About half an hour later, I tested the [Recovery Stone] again.

At this point, the [Recovery Stone] is charged to about 10%.

Since the heroic spirits who had just gone through a fierce battle hadn't fully recovered their health, he had Zhang Fei test them out.

The method involves having the Heroic Spirit enter the range of the Healing Stone, and then having him perform the healing operation.

A soft white light emerged from the jade-like surface of the stone and fell onto Zhang Fei like a ribbon of light.

Zhang Fei's health points increased at a visible speed.

"Well……"

The recovery was better than Li Ming had imagined.

I roughly estimated that if I use a full recovery stone, I can probably restore Zhang Fei's health bar to about 5 bars.

It's worth noting that after awakening, Zhang Fei has the highest HP growth among all the heroic spirits he currently possesses.

Even Liu Bei and the Stone Monkey at level 3 are slightly inferior to him in terms of health points.

Then, Li Ming had another idea, so he squeezed open the wound on his finger that he had bitten when he summoned Zhuge Liang.

I tried to heal myself with a healing stone, but all I got was a few drops of blood.

This thing should only work on Heroic Spirits.

Even so, this thing is still an absolutely great product.

Overall, Dawn is very satisfied with the effects of the Restoration Stone.

I acquired 3 child cube buildings today, bringing my milestone to 6/10.

We're already halfway there, and reaching the target is just around the corner.

If the current trend continues, there might be a chance to achieve this before that overseas summoner arrives, and then get another milestone reward to enhance the character.
