Chapter 60: Homestead Upgrade! Career Advancement!
Su Chen rested one hand on the silver mine in the cave, his face full of helplessness: "This setting is too inhumane. If I really had to dig it myself, how long would it take?"
He didn't want to do anything, but the silver mine came at just the right time.
When I changed my job to a Demon Hunter, I saw from those memory fragments that many Demon Hunter equipment required the metal "silver", and the amount used was not small.
Judging from the amount of silvery-gray metal embedded in the rock strata of this small mine, even if he came to dig every day, he probably couldn't keep up with the rate at which it would be consumed in the future.
"Forget it, we'll deal with that later."
Remembering that the equipment he had just obtained included gloves that increased mining speed, Su Chen felt a little relieved and returned to the treasure chest.
Needless to say, the effects of the two Home Building Upgrade Cards were the same as the one he had obtained before. However, Su Chen's gaze turned to the four Home Building Cards.
【Sweet Little Elf Loom】, 【Bouncy Ghost Sofa】, 【Weird Full Moon Night Light】, and 【Adaptive Mushroom Nest】
"Um?"
"Did Brother Long send this treasure chest to decorate for me? It's like it went straight into a furniture store, isn't it?"
Holding four furniture-related building cards, Su Chen muttered to himself as he carefully read the detailed descriptions on each card.
The first one.
【Sweet Little Elf Loom】
The current total area of the house is 512 square meters, with a buildable area of 305 square meters.
[Would you like to consume 3 square meters of space to build the Sweet Little Elf Loom, a home structure?]
Su Chen shifted his gaze to one side of the living room: "Yes."
The next moment, countless dreamy starlight flew out from the card in Su Chen's hand!
Densely packed, those dreamy starlight points trailed long tails, leaving fine traces in the air. Then, countless starlight points quickly wove together in the spot that Su Chen had just chosen in the living room. In the intermingling of light, a tall frame covered with yarn wheels slowly emerged.
The starlight wasn't dazzling; instead, it floated quietly in the air, flickering gently with Su Chen's breath.
Su Chen could feel a strangely comfortable sensation coming from the loom as it was gradually formed by light spots.
Before long, a beautiful loom appeared against the wall in the living room. The faint starlight carried a strange aura, as if purifying the slightly murky atmosphere of the living room.
【Sweet Little Elf Loom】
[Description: The stitches hold the sweet dreams of little fairies, and the fabric embodies the peaceful and beautiful wishes bestowed upon it by other fairies. Using it, you can weave magical feelings such as warmth and calmness into the fabric.]
[Level: Beginner]
[Production Scope: Fabric, Magic Cloak, Tent, etc.]
[Current knitting characteristics: Warmth, calmness]
[Warmth: It can automatically tighten in cold conditions to maintain the wearer's body temperature]
[Calm: Blessed by the elves, provides a slight resistance to abnormal status effects. Abnormal status effect duration: -10%]
Touching his chin, Su Chen sat in front of the loom, curiously examining this elfin loom that seemed out of place in the modern home furnishings of the living room.
"Only two effects, and the additional effects don't seem to be that many."
"Could it be because this loom is a basic one?"
"But I don't know how to weave, so how do I use this thing..."
"Should I find a woman to learn from?"
Despite his verbal complaints, Su Chen's hands were still obedient, and he took out a second bill.
With Su Chen's confirmation, the card in his hand consumed 2 square meters of his home space.
A moment later, a spherical object with a semi-transparent, milky-white halo jumped out from the card.
"A ghost...?"
Su Chen stood there, stunned.
Not far from the loom in the living room, a milky white, semi-transparent ghost floated in mid-air. It looked similar to the chibi-style ghost in the fairy tales he remembered, but this one in the living room was obviously much cuter.
The ghost was round and plump, with a small tail. Its two eyes were a deep purple with two sparkling stars embedded in them, making it look exceptionally exquisite.
Although it was semi-transparent, the ghost's body looked exceptionally soft and fluffy at first glance, and when the evening breeze blew gently, the ghost's surface dented slightly.
Soon, the ghost took flight with a whoosh, and then its entire body rapidly collapsed until it formed a rather large, semi-transparent, milky-white sofa that could easily envelop Su Chen.
The sofa seemed frozen in place, like a ghost from before, its two eyes twinkling like stars, and a faint, tranquil blue halo emanating from its edge.
Su Chen couldn't wait to sit down!
Phoo!
As soon as she sat down, the sofa made a cute, muffled thud. Su Chen felt as if she were being gently hugged, and she sank comfortably into the sofa.
The sofa didn't feel soft and flimsy at all; on the contrary, it was very bouncy. After you sat down, the sofa would bounce back slightly, like a bouncy jelly!
At that moment, a semi-transparent information panel appeared before his eyes.
【bouncy ghost sofa】
[Description: Made from two rare materials, "Phantom Mist Gel" and "Dream Cotton," this product is sourced from a sleeping ghost in the Moonlight Swamp, retaining its residual energy. Through alchemy, it has been solidified, preserving some of its spiritual characteristics. Sitting on it will produce a "poof" sound, and you will also feel a subtle sensation as if you are being gently hugged by a friendly little ghost.]
[Features: Comfort +30%]
[When the user rests on the bouncy ghost sofa, their stamina recovery speed is increased.]
【Emotional Boost: Increases the user's happiness】or "Strange Affinity" (Strange Affinity: Helps attract special NPCs)
(The visit of a ghost postman, etc.).
[Interactive Easter Egg: Tap the bouncy ghost sofa three times in a row, and the ghost will feel bloated and let out a big burp. After the burp, it will spit out a temporary speed-up pill, limited to one per day. (Temporary speed-up pill duration: 5 seconds)]
"Great! No wonder it felt so cool and pleasant just now, so this is what it feels like to be hugged by a ghost!"
Su Chen's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to the ghost beneath him. The comfortable and relaxing feeling was indeed quite nice!
"And then it's you."
Muttering to himself, Su Chen took out another home building. He originally thought it was all Jackie Chan's four-piece set, but he didn't expect the effects and attributes to be so good.
As for decoration, the sweet little elf loom is there, and if you don't look closely, it looks like a forest-themed piano, which looks quite exquisite and fantastical.
Picking up the new home building card, Su Chen was somewhat puzzled.
"What is this?"
"mushroom?"
Su Chen was stunned when he saw the card.
[Does this require the use of 4 square meters of...?]
"yes!"
"What do you mean 'tiny'? It's so big..."
Su Chen muttered to himself.
However, his home now has a lot of space, so he doesn't need to worry about this little bit of space. He can put things wherever he wants without it feeling crowded. He had already decided to place the pet bed not far from the ghost sofa.
With Su Chen's confirmation, the 4-square-meter living space was allocated. The card he was holding suddenly emitted a warm fragrance, and then a rather large phantom appeared next to the ghost sofa.
The phantom was a fluffy, glowing mushroom, with a layer of fine, soft down on the top of the little nest, which looked warm and soft, and the inner lining was a full layer of moss that changed color.
Su Chen could see it clearly.
The moss mat was originally a light green color, but its color suddenly changed when it came into contact with the floor!
It turned incredibly green!
Once the construction was complete, the color of the moss mat stabilized at a lush green, making it look exceptionally comfortable.
"Could it be that the moss mat changes color in accordance with changes in the surrounding temperature?"
"That's amazing?"
Su Chen looked at the little nest that was automatically being built by countless tiny lights.
At the entrance of the pet's den, several drooping vines still emitted a warm, luminous green glow.
Soon, the pet enclosure was completed. At the same time, an introduction to the pet enclosure appeared before Su Chen's eyes.
【Adaptive Mushroom Nest】
[Description: This is a magical pet home cultivated from "Symbiotic Spirit Mushrooms," filled with "Soothing Moss," a magical plant that senses emotions and releases calming spores. The Soothing Moss changes color depending on the temperature, making it a truly magical pet home. The appearance of the home will also change depending on the species of pet that moves in.]
[Dragon Cub Pet Mode: Your little home will now have a small flame appearing on it. It gets very hot, so be careful not to burn yourself!]
[Water Sprite Pet Mode: The appearance of the little house will be filled with water mist, making it damp. Please be aware of the overflowing ripples inside the little house.]
【.
【Features: Pet Residency Area】
[One tamed fantasy pet (such as a lightning fox, crystal cat, or mini rock turtle) can be placed there. Pets will enjoy a bond bonus after they reside there.]
[Bond Bonus: When a pet is resting in its den, its loyalty increases by 50%, and it generates one affectionate gift daily (such as Dragon Scale Fragments, Healing Dew, etc.)]
[Ding! The "House" building category in your homestead has been unlocked. Do you want to enable the automatic feeding function?]
"It has this function? How convenient!" Su Chen exclaimed happily.
In his original world, pet supplies were incredibly expensive; automatic feeders could easily cost thousands of dollars, and they weren't always reliable. This pet bed, with its built-in feeder, certainly saved him the trouble.
[Automatic Feeding (Unlock Required): Can be connected to a designated greenhouse; once connected, it will automatically replenish pet food.]
"Wow, it can connect even from this far away, and it even resupplyes automatically?"
Su Chen's eyes lit up. His living room wasn't close to the greenhouse, and it would be troublesome to run back and forth like a regular pet.
This feature makes things much easier!
"This is the last one, don't let it be a disappointment!"
Holding the last home building card, Su Chen didn't even look at the card this time, and directly allocated it 2 square meters of home space.
He still has 296 square meters of living space, so he doesn't need to be stingy about that.
moment.
Several black cast iron supports slowly emerged from a dim light. The gray-black cast iron twisted and twisted into a black cast iron support, and at the top of the support, a slowly rotating, glowing crystal ball floated.
The pitted and uneven surface, still emitting wisps of light, resembled a slowly rotating artificial full moon.
Su Chen was overjoyed.
On the black stand, the sphere, radiating a cool, moonlit glow, seemed to slowly cast its cold light across the surroundings, just as a full moon would do.
The surface of the sphere has some fine cracks, from which several beams of cold, silvery-blue light shine, adding a touch of mystery to the sphere's glow.
【Strange Full Moon Night Light】
[Description: A nightlight with a stand forged from "Shadow Iron" and a crystal ball sealing the "essence of the moon." The base of the lamp is engraved with distinctive reliefs of werewolves, bats, and pumpkins. On nights of a full moon in the game, the nightlight will gently tremble. The crystal ball is forged from "fragments of moonfall." Similar to Shadow Iron, the nightlight requires materials to be gathered at midnight to maintain its magical activity.]
【Features: Expanded lighting range】
The "Strange Full Moon Night Light" provides a wider illumination range than ordinary lights, dispelling fear and negative states within that range. It requires no electricity, and if shared with the "bouncy ghost sofa," the ghost will praise the moonlight, increasing its brightness.
"This is interesting!" Su Chen's eyes lit up, reflecting the light of the full moon lamp.
Click.
Su Chen pressed the switch on the wall, and the ceiling lights in the entire living room turned off.
In an instant, Su Chen was shocked.
What came into view was the cool moonlight in the living room. The lamplight, as if caressed by the moonlight, was natural and bright, much like the bright moonlight he saw in the countryside when he was a child.
Natural and not flashy.
The entire living room, and even the area around the chicken coop, was bathed in a soft light.
Not far away, the bouncy ghost sofa seemed to sense something, its two bright eyes staring intently at the direction of the strange full moon night light. Even though Su Chen hadn't sat on it, the ghost sofa seemed to come alive, gently swaying.
At the same time, the full moon lamp did indeed become much brighter.
The entire living room, along with the chicken coop next to it, was bathed in the cool light of the night lamp, giving Su Chen's home a mysterious and unpredictable feel!
"It works! It fucking works!"
Su Chen felt extremely pleased and plopped down on the ghost sofa.
Now, with the new rewards he has, plus the ones he had before, he has a total of four home building upgrade cards, and he is studying how to allocate them most appropriately.
If these valuable resources from the early stages are misused, it will definitely slow down his development. Su Chen is well aware that good steel should be used where it is needed most.
"Four..."
"Four sheets..."
Su Chen picked up the career advancement card from the coffee table in the living room, which was on his coat, and was somewhat stunned.
After a moment, he picked up a card and silently recited "use" in his mind.
Please select one of your homestead buildings to upgrade.
The rules for upgrading your homestead buildings are as follows: the first upgrade costs 1 card, the second upgrade costs 2 cards, and the third upgrade costs 4 cards...
"How dare you ask for that!"
Su Chen frowned. He had originally thought that he should at least raise the level of the Silver Mine with the four cards in his hand.
The Witcher class will have a very high demand for silver ore later on.
Prioritizing the upgrade of silver mines and increasing silver mine production is the top priority. Who would have thought that the upgrade of home buildings would be tiered, requiring two cards for the second upgrade? But considering the insane effect of upgrade cards that can be upgraded directly without any materials.
"I'll endure it!"
With a determined heart, Su Chen took out three Home Building Upgrade Cards and selected the small silver mine on the wall not far away for all of them.
As two cold notification sounds rang out, Su Chen approached the wall.
Inside the mine shaft on the wall, the silvery-gray light had visibly increased significantly!
"Let's leave it at that for now." Seeing that the silvery-gray ore was still slowly being extracted, Su Chen picked up the last Home Building Upgrade Card.
This time, he chose the fairy loom in the corner of the living room.
This is the building card that can directly create additional effects among the four building cards; in a sense, it is just as important as the resource cards.
As a warm light appeared on the Elf Loom, Su Chen could clearly feel that the Elf Loom's effect had become extraordinary!
The silent moonlight swept through the room, and inside the treasure chest, an enchanted stone reflected the light, as if it were dissatisfied with Su Chen's neglect.
"Hey, now's not the time. It's not the time to need you."
Picking up the enchanted stone, Su Chen carefully placed it on the coat on the coffee table.
He held the career upgrade card in his hand, not yet having time to carefully experience the upgrades from the Elf Loom and the uses of the enchantment stone.
[Career Advancement Card]
[Description: After use, it can ignore the current job advancement requirements/progress and directly complete the job advancement based on the conditions/progress with the highest suitability for the current job]
"Depend on!"
"No wonder Lin Yu and those two women were arguing so fiercely!"
The moment Su Chen saw the description of the Career Advancement Card, he realized why this card was so precious!
Ignoring the upgrade requirements, you can directly complete the career advancement based on the conditions or progress with the highest current job suitability!
This also meant that it could ignore the upgrade requirements, and Su Chen didn't even need to find any pure monsters. As long as he used this card, the upgrade card would automatically match him with the most suitable monster for his job advancement!
"Then what are we waiting for!"
"9
Su Chen didn't even listen to the notification tone before confirming.
