44: Who still wants to be a traditional Witcher?
[Day 5 ends, with 2522 residents remaining in Happiness Community, earning 10000 public survival points]
[Resident Su Chen survived until midnight, gaining 5 personal survival points.]
Resident Su Chen successfully harvested potato fruits and gained 50 survival points.
[Resident Su Chen explored parts of the Black Forest and gained 100 survival points.]
[Resident Su Chen killed the Fire Wolf and gained 100 survival points.]
[Resident Su Chen found 3 cards and gained 300 survival points.]
……
Personal survival points: 790!
Su Chen's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.
The previously meager survival points have finally been replenished with a significant amount of health!
Before he could recover from his joy, the familiar roar of propellers came from outside the window—"Toot toot toot!" The rescue helicopter arrived on time.
Dedicated rescue team has been deployed.
[Bronze Rescue Kits are being distributed]
"Bronze Rescue Pack? Is this an upgrade?" Su Chen muttered. This was a new term, and it sounded more advanced than the "Advanced Rescue Pack" he had received before.
He reached out and took it. The package felt heavy in his hand, and the outer shell was a deep blue with a metallic sheen, completely different from its previous dull gray appearance.
Recalling his desperate spirit in the Black Forest, Su Chen's heart raced with anticipation.
It seems that as long as you are willing to take risks and explore, the rewards are indeed frighteningly generous!
He eagerly opened the package and checked the contents:
[Expansion Card x1]
[Building Upgrade Card x1]
[Random Enchantment Stone for Equipment x1]
[Card x1]
Gatling gun x1
[1000 bullets]
Su Chen read them one by one, overjoyed.
"I'll have to work even harder next time I go exploring! This reward is amazing!"
"Just breaking through to the 'Bronze' level gives you so many good things, what about above Bronze? Will you get RPGs, or even... tanks?"
Just thinking about it made his blood feel hot.
Then, Su Chen picked up the [Expansion Card] and nodded thoughtfully: "Perhaps in the end, cards that can expand storage space will be the real hard currency."
On a whim, he chose to use it.
The current total area of the house is 212 square meters, with a buildable area of 26 square meters.
[Do you want to use the Basic Home Expansion Card to add 100 square meters?]
Su Chen walked to the narrow passageway between the chicken coop and the planting greenhouse. The once spacious living room was now completely crammed into the space between the two buildings, leaving only a narrow gap for one person, making it difficult to even turn around.
He used the card in that gap.
Swish!
A soft white light flashed, then transformed into countless tiny particles of light, spreading and expanding outwards as if alive. Wherever the light particles passed, the space seemed to be stretched open by an invisible hand, forcefully "squeezing" out a brand new area of a full one hundred square meters within the original room!
The originally cramped passageway instantly became open and spacious.
The current total area of the house is 312 square meters, with a buildable area of 126 square meters.
"This is much more spacious!" Su Chen took a couple of steps with satisfaction, no longer needing to tiptoe and squeeze through sideways.
Then, his gaze fell on the white card.
[Homestead Building: Incubator]
[Occupies 10 square meters]
"Oh right, that egg!" Su Chen suddenly remembered the pet egg he brought back from the deserted community, which he had kept in the second bedroom and almost forgot about.
He first walked to the chicken coop and crushed the card.
A white light appeared.
Immediately afterwards, a warm and bright ray of sunlight appeared out of nowhere below the ceiling, shining straight down!
Within the pillar of light, faint spiritual energy swirled like mist, mixed with a pleasant sandalwood scent and a refreshing, eggshell-like aroma.
Below the beam of light was a huge, fluffy, and soft futon, with a thick layer of dry straw underneath, emitting a comforting, dry aroma of rice.
Su Chen went into the second bedroom, took out the egg that was almost the size of a washbasin, and gently placed it in the center of the futon.
As soon as I placed it, a semi-transparent notification panel popped up in front of me:
[Incubating, countdown: 72 hours!]
"Three days isn't slow." Su Chen looked at the countdown and reached out to touch the warm, smooth eggshell. "However, it definitely won't be in time for the first monster siege."
When it comes to monster sieges, he's not as anxious as he was at first.
With increased strength, more trump cards, and a more stable mindset, we've become much more confident.
He even started to think about whether he could capture one or two monsters alive and try to tame them into battle pets.
If he really wanted to speed up the incubation process... he glanced at the [Building Upgrade Card].
However, he secretly preferred to use this precious upgrade card for something else.
For example, "well" or "chicken coop".
Both of these are buildings that can continuously produce resources.
The 29 eggs he rescued from the refrigerator in the chicken coop haven't hatched yet, which is making him a little worried.
If these eggs don't hatch, he'll have to go through the trouble of finding new chicks, which will be quite a hassle.
Upgrading the chicken coop might improve the hatching success rate.
He also wanted to upgrade the greenhouses, and the well was even more appealing to him—if the community couldn't withstand the monster siege, the entire public water and electricity supply system might be paralyzed.
At that time, their own well will be their lifeline.
We must establish a self-sufficient internal cycle as soon as possible.
……
……
Su Chen checked the upgrade requirements of several buildings. He found that after upgrading, their footprint would increase by about 50 square meters, but their output would double.
Greenhouses can also significantly shorten the maturity cycle of crops.
"This is such a difficult decision..." He stroked his chin. "Never mind, let's see how the enchantment stones are first."
This stone is about the size of a palm and its surface is covered with strange and twisted patterns. It is used in a similar way to a card; simply crush it on the weapon you want to enchant.
The effect of the enchantment... Su Chen suddenly remembered the dagger he had obtained from the hunter.
He took it out and weighed it in his hand. The blade gleamed with a barely perceptible cold light, clearly much sharper and tougher than an ordinary knife.
"This dagger must have been enchanted, with added sharpness."
He got it.
Su Chen laid out his main equipment on the table: a red-tasseled spear, a hammer, a composite bow, a pistol, and three grenades that he hadn't had a chance to use.
Which one should I enchant?
After the Red Tassel Spear is enchanted, its armor penetration ability will definitely increase significantly, and its melee ability will be elevated to a new level.
A hammer? Although it's also a powerful melee weapon, it's now an enchanted dagger.
What about the composite bow? As a primary ranged weapon, it really needs to be upgraded.
only……
Su Chen's gaze involuntarily drifted to the side.
The Gatling gun stood silently beside the table, its dark, matte finish exuding a cold, metallic feel. Its six thick barrels were arranged in a ring, radiating a silent deterrent.
A pile of 1000 gleaming yellow bullets lay to the side, their luster alluring.
He smiled, a slight upturn to his lips.
"With such powerful weapons available, who would still want to be a traditional witcher?"
