The Scourge of the Undead: Starting with Building Monster Farms

Chapter 26 Lucky Rabbit's Feet

Su He set up a worktable next to the alchemy cauldron and quickly synthesized three glass bottles, filling them one by one with golden power potions.

He unscrewed a bottle, tilted his head back, and drank it down. Instantly, he felt a surge of violent energy within his body, and the muscles in his arms swelled slightly.

Su He tested the effects on a wild zombie, and the power potion concocted by the witch gave him a fairly noticeable boost.

Unfortunately, the duration is too short, only one and a half minutes, which is only half the duration of the original Strength 1 potion.

However, even without a brewing stand, Su He was already quite satisfied that he could brew power potions using only a cauldron and incantations.

"Besides this, what other potions can you make?"

Su He asked the witch another question. By this time, the witch no longer had any resistance towards him and simply and decisively showed him all the potions she could concoct.

Potions that provide buffs include: Strength Potion, Swiftness Potion, Jump Boost Potion, and Instant Healing Potion.

Potions with negative effects include: Weakness Potion, Poison Potion, Slowing Potion, and Instant Damage Potion.

After watching the witch's entire presentation, Su He felt a surge of excitement. He hadn't just picked up a witch; he had unearthed an irreplaceable treasure.

The witch also explicitly told Su He that if she had better alchemy equipment, she was confident she could concoct potions with stronger effects and longer durations of action.

Su He's eyes lit up. Better medicine-making equipment naturally referred to the brewing platform, or perhaps some other medicine-making facility.

Although he could brew medicine himself with the brewing station, it would always be more convenient to have someone brew it for him.

The two chatted about potions for a long time, with the witch occasionally mentioning potion names that Su He had never heard before, which excited him greatly.

However, happy times always pass quickly, and in order to have enough energy for the next day, Su He decided to go to rest.

Just as the witch's new hut was completed and she was about to return to her own hut to rest,

Zombie One suddenly arrived here with its squad.

Upon seeing its master, Zombie Number One immediately reported the day's intelligence.

Because the matter to be reported was so complicated, Number One spoke in obscure zombie language while gesturing wildly, trying to make Su He understand.

Su He frowned, pondering Number One's movements and zombie language, trying to figure out what it was trying to say. Just then, the witch beside him suddenly spoke up.

"It said that a particularly strange zombie appeared near the glass building that was completed today. Its intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary monsters. It tried to catch the zombie, but the zombie escaped."

"Can you understand what it's saying?"

Su He looked at the witch in surprise, never expecting that it could understand the language of zombies.

"Since I came to this world, I've seen these kinds of creatures the most every day. Apart from those big, green, blocky monsters, I understand most of the other monsters' languages."

"I'm sorry, I can only help you translate, but I don't know how to teach you this language," the witch said to Su He very sincerely.

"It doesn't matter, I don't need to learn their language. What I need to do is teach them my language so they can report directly to me on missions later."

Su He nodded, not taking the matter to heart at all, his attention completely focused on the strange zombie.

Number One highly praised the zombie's intelligence, saying in its own words that it was much smarter than itself.

"Intensify the search. If you find that zombie, call me over immediately if I'm at the base."

After giving the order to Number One, Su He finally led Little Green and the other animals back to the cabin.

Even more amazingly, after spending time together, the little green creeper actually overcame its instinctive fear of cats and was willing to stay in the same room with the black cat.

Su He lay in bed. Usually, Xiao Lü would stay by his bedside before he went to sleep, but now there were two more companions by his bedside.

Brooke and the black cat sat upright on the ground, looking at themselves, along with Little Green.

This feeling was very strange. If it weren't for this bed, being watched like this, Su He's insomnia would definitely be very serious.

Not long after I closed my eyes, a strange weight pressed down on my stomach, accompanied by the soft purring of a cat.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next day.

Su He got out of bed, and the black cat nimbly jumped off him and onto the ground. At the same time, a new item automatically entered his backpack.

Upon opening the backpack, I found an extra rabbit foot in one of the compartments.

In the upper right corner of the rabbit's foot, there was a small plus sign icon. Su He casually clicked on it, and the crafting recipe for that rabbit's foot immediately popped up in front of him.

"Lucky Rabbit's Foot" is made from a four-leaf clover and a rabbit's foot.

Su He happened to have both of these materials, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately synthesized this novel concoction.

[Accessory: Lucky Rabbit's Paw]

[Effect: Luck +2, increases the probability of obtaining multiple rewards, currently 1%]

"nice one."

Su He equipped the Lucky Rabbit Foot and tried it out in the cattle pen and the mine tunnel.

The effect of this new item is roughly a combination of the Fortune and Looting enchantments, but the trigger probability is much lower.

"This should be a great help when it comes to lower-level beacons."

As Su He pondered this in his mind, the upgrade task for the iron beacon wasn't as difficult as it had been before.

Some unknown items are needed to level up.

Upgrading the iron beacon is very simple. Apart from the requirement that your profession level must reach level eight, you only need to prepare one otherworldly monster essence, four copper blocks, and four iron blocks.

Place them and the stone beacon as required to successfully upgrade them to iron beacons.

As for the essence of otherworldly monsters, it is actually a cube composed of eight otherworldly monster hearts and soul fragments.

Thanks to Eris, Suho had a large stockpile of these things.

He's leveling up very slowly right now. Only after successfully creating the next level of monster-hunting area will he be able to quickly reach level eight.

Su He also planned to do some other construction tasks, but these would have to wait until after the monster-spawning area was completed.

"I wonder if the Drowned Spawning Grounds have spawned enough Drowned to allow me to complete this quest in one go."

Upon arriving at the Drowned Farm, looking through the outer glass enclosure, the farm's efficiency appeared quite impressive.

By blocking the exit of the monster spawn area with half a brick, a large number of drowned zombies sensed Su He's presence and swam towards the passage.

Su He carefully eliminated the low-level drowned corpses, leaving the high-level ones to form contracts, completely unaware that while he was busy, a drowned corpse in the monster-hunting area was silently watching him with a completely different gaze.
