Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

As the giant mantis's body fell, Lin Xiao noticed that it was slowly turning into mist. In just a short while, the giant mantis's body disappeared completely, leaving only a pair of mantis arms in place.

"Did this happen? And the effect of the corpse disappearing... it looks so much like a game? Is it a survival version of Sword Art Online?"

While complaining, Lin Xiao stood up, walked over, and picked up the pair of mantis arms.

As Lin Xiao touched them, the mantis arms gradually transformed into a pair of green double blades.

[Green Mantis Blade: Tier 1, an incredibly sharp mantis blade that increases the user's attack speed and can actively unleash sword energy.]

"Huh? That's it?"

Lin Xiao looked at the introduction given by the Mist System with a strange expression; it was just a very simple sentence.

The Mist System would at least say a few more words about the items obtained from the newbie chests and the items that Lin Xiao synthesized.

Unexpectedly, the Fog System only provided a very simple introduction to the Mantis Blade.

Although Lin Xiao really wanted to use the Deconstruction technique to examine the specific data of the pair of mantis blades in detail, being in the Misty Forest made him feel very unsafe.

Furthermore, the clones created by Shadow Mask cannot use the original's talents.

This made Lin Xiao give up the idea.

Soon, Lin Xiao put the pair of mantis knives into his backpack, then took out his sickle and continued to chop down trees with it.

After felling 15 trees, Lin Xiao obtained 1650 units of wood.

Without knowing how many resources would be needed for the next level of the cabin, 1650 units of wood were enough to upgrade Lin Xiao's cabin to level 10.

After confirming that he had collected enough resources, Lin Xiao stopped cutting down trees and cautiously made his way back to the cabin.

Lin Xiao carefully returned to the cabin. After leaving the Misty Forest, Lin Xiao felt that the atmosphere around his cabin had changed.

Lin Xiao stopped and stood at the edge of the forest for a while, observing. Finding neither danger nor anything unusual, he returned to the cabin with his doubts.

Upgrading to a cabin +1 requires: 1700/150 wood.

"upgrade!"

Upgrading to a cabin +2 requires: 1550/150 wood.

"upgrade!"

……

[Cabin +10 (max)]

Lin Xiao maxed out the cabin's level in one go, clicking it 10 times in a row, and the cabin's area increased from 40 square meters to 50 square meters.

Next, Lin Xiao looked at the new upgrades to the cabin.

Lin Xiao discovered that the new upgrade path for the cabin had been divided into two.

Upgrading to a medium-sized log cabin requires: 200/300 wood.

The first upgrade path is quite ordinary, still requiring wood for a simple upgrade.

However, the second upgrade route has created new resource requirements.

Upgrading to a Small Log Hut requires: 200/200 Wood, 0/10 Source Crystals

"Source Crystal?"

Looking at this new resource requirement, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes.

Where can we obtain the Source Crystal?

However, the fog system quickly provided the answer.

[Source Crystal: The most important resource in the Mist Survival World. It can be used as currency to trade with the natives of the Mist World, and it can also be used as a resource material to upgrade safe houses. In addition, it has many other important uses.]

[Methods to obtain Source Crystals: Defeating creatures in the Misty World, mining Source Crystal ore, etc.]

"Slay the creatures of the misty world, mine source crystals..."

Lin Xiao recalled the scene when the giant mantis disappeared, shook his head, and regretfully, no crystal-like object was found when the giant mantis disappeared.

It seems that killing creatures in the Misty World does not guarantee a 100% drop of Source Crystals.

The remaining method is to find source crystal ore.

But a new problem arises: where will the source crystal ore appear?

After defeating the mist creatures from the first day, Source Crystal Ore will randomly spawn around the safe house.

"Oh?"

Lin Xiao nodded thoughtfully when he saw the prompt given by the Mist System. No wonder he noticed that the environment around the cabin seemed to have changed when he returned to the cabin.

It looks like source crystal ore has already spawned around here, but Lin Xiao didn't observe thoroughly enough and didn't notice it.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao glanced at the rusty sickle used by farmers in his hand, touched it, and said.

"I don't know if I can use this scythe to continue mining source crystals. If I can, then I'll continue to trouble you."

The farmer's rusty sickle (+10): "You're so high and mighty... If I hadn't already upgraded it to +10, you would have worn it out long ago!"

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he put the rusty sickle back into his system inventory and took out a pair of green mantis knives that he had just obtained.

After reverting from his clone to his main body, Lin Xiao placed his hands on the pair of mantis blades.

"Deconstruction!"

[Deconstructing the Green Mantis Knife: Estimated time required, 30 minutes. Should we proceed with the deconstruction?]

"yes!"

[Deconstruction in progress...]

"Thirty minutes is a bit long; this is clearly only a Tier 30 weapon!"

"If I encounter second-tier, third-tier, or even higher-tier items in the future, I can't possibly maintain this posture for hours on end, can I?"

The thought of that scene, where he might have to keep his hands still for 24 hours, made Lin Xiao frown.

[Deconstruction talent can also be upgraded... Explore the upgrade conditions yourself... Friendly reminder: After upgrading deconstruction, everything in sight can be deconstructed... Everything in sight...]

Lin Xiao looked at the prompts given to him by the Mist System and saw that the Deconstruction Talent could be upgraded, which put him at ease.

Upon seeing the upgraded effect of freeing up his hands, Lin Xiao smiled.

"Heh, does that mean everything the eye sees is permitted?"

Of course, this information made Lin Xiao happy, but for Lin Xiao at the moment, it was like the Misty World was dangling a pie in the sky for him.

After all, he had to figure out the upgrade conditions on his own, and judging from the description given to him by the mist, such a terrifying effect was definitely not something he could obtain right now.

"Sigh, it's so close yet so far... no, we haven't even seen it yet!" Lin Xiao shook her head.

Next, Lin Xiao browsed the chat channel while checking the trading shop, hoping to find something he needed.

And just like that, the 30-minute deconstruction time passed quickly.
