"My Lord, the Wisdom Library and the Training Camp have been built." Atop the World Tree Crown, Chenxi and Phantom were reporting to Lin Yu on the progress of their respective projects.
Phantom had successfully passed her Transformation Tribulation in the morning, and by the afternoon, these two important buildings were also complete.
"Any special effects?" Lin Yu wanted to know if these buildings, which had been assigned supervisors, had any other functions besides reducing construction ti.
"Master, I’ve beco the Training Camp’s commander. When I’m inside the Training Camp, the trainees gain 100% more experience, and I personally gain 200% more experience."
"Good, good, good. Excellent. It looks like you’ll be stationed at the Training Camp from now on. If you ever get tired of it, just let know, and I’ll find you a better position."
"Chenxi, you’re only level one right now. You need to level up properly. From now on, spend so ti training every day."
"What about the Wisdom Library?"
"My Lord, I am now the Director of the Wisdom Library. I can look up any piece of knowledge in the library whenever I want and search for books by keyword."
"Additionally, I can check the research progress on the Technology Tree and view all the technologies our territory currently possesses."
"Right now, we can assign ten researchers."
"Available Research: Basic tallurgy, Basic Architecture, Basic Phyto-mining..."
"Existing Technologies: Advanced Horticulture, Faraday Cage Construction, Advanced Mutant Plant Research..."
Chenxi obediently finished reporting the information about the Wisdom Library and then waited for Lin Yu’s instructions.
"Assign ten Demon Spirits to the research for now. After the hero-class elves hatch from their fruits, we can pick the smartest among them to take over."
After drinking water from the Spring of Life, not all sprites beca heroes. A large portion of them turned into another type of creature—Demon Spirits. The Demon Spirit Fruits they ca from grew quickly, only needing a few days hanging on the World Tree to ripen and hatch.
Demon Spirits were slightly larger than sprites, but still quite small. After transforming from a sprite into a Demon Spirit, all their attributes increased, with a significant boost to intelligence. They could speak, assist plant growth, and heal.
However, the elves had even higher intelligence, making them better suited to be researchers.
"Understood, my Lord. I’ll go pick so intelligent Demon Spirits right away."
"In that case, let’s upgrade Basic Architecture first. We have such a large territory, but besides those few special buildings, all we have are tree hollows. It feels like our territory hasn’t even reached the tribal stage yet."
Lin Yu sighed.
"Yes, my Lord! We will complete the research as quickly as possible and then construct buildings throughout the territory. We will not disappoint you!"
"No need to rush, just do your best. The thought of brick-and-tile houses popping up in this forest is a bit out of place, anyway~" Lin Yu gave a self-deprecating laugh. It was clear he was feeling a little conflicted.
"Alright, you can go get to work."
Having assigned their tasks, Lin Yu sent Chenxi and Phantom off to handle their duties.
After they left, he sat alone beside the Lingxin, thodically planning out the new resource buildings.
During the few days he’d spent waiting for Phantom’s Celestial Tribulation, he had already upgraded the Beast’s Nest and Dave’s Secret Garden to level five.
Upgrading the Beast’s Nest to level five added an underground section and significantly increased its overall size, providing more housing units. At the sa ti, the breeding, growth, and cultivation speeds of the beasts all increased by 50%.
After the territory gained the [Demon] tag, the Beast’s Nest could also accommodate demons, and its various bonuses now applied to them as well.
After upgrading Dave’s Secret Garden to level five, 17 new types of plants were added.
They were: Wall-nut, Big-Mouthed Flower, Charming Mushroom, Giant Mushroom, Cherry Bomb, Jalapeno, Earth Spike, Plantern, Umbrella Leaf, Tangle Kelp, Lily Pad, Cat’s Tail Grass, Torchwood, Cactus, Star Fruit, Corn Shooter, Waterlon Shooter, and Squash.
At the sa ti, an upgrade system for the plants in Dave’s Secret Garden was unlocked. For example, the Pea Shooter could be upgraded into a Repeater, Snow Pea, Fire Peashooter, Poison Pea, Threepeater, or Gatling Pea...
However, Lin Yu wasn’t in a hurry to build various defensive plants. Instead, he first focused on upgrading the existing buildings in his territory.
The original level 1 underground warehouse, level 1 tree hollows, level 1 Wood Elent Collection Workshop, level 1 Earth Elent Collection Workshop, and level 1 orchard were all maxed out directly to level 5.
The level 5 warehouse could store 900,000 units of various resources.
The level 5 tree hollows could house 25 residents.
The collection efficiency of the level 5 Wood Elent and Earth Elent Collection Workshops increased fivefold, with their daily output of wood and stone changing to 0-500 units.
The level 5 orchard’s collection efficiency also increased to five tis the original, with its daily fruit production becoming 0-500 units. At the sa ti, the orchard’s collection range was greatly enhanced, reaching 2.5 tis its original size.
This led Lin Yu to demolish several orchards whose ranges overlapped and readjust the layout, increasing the spacing between them to prepare for future upgrades.
At this point, Lin Yu discovered that in addition to the Wood Elent Collection Workshop for gathering wood elent to synthesize wood and the Earth Elent Collection Workshop for gathering earth elent to synthesize stone, several new buildings had appeared in the construction list. They were:
[Na]: Level 1 Gold Elent Collection Workshop
[Description]: A unique building constructed from the secondary branches of the World Tree and soil. When residents are working inside, it can gather gold elent to synthesize ore.
The type of ore is related to the types of ore naturally present within its effective range.
The amount of ore synthesized daily varies based on the abundance of gold elent within the Gold Elent Collection Workshop’s effective range.
Note: The synthesized ore does not require purification; it is all 100% pure single-elent (chemical elent) ore.
[Effect]: 0-100 units of ore/day
[Prosperity]: 10
[Requirents]: 10 Wood, 10 Stone. (Affected by "Flourishing Branches")
-----------------
[Na]: Level 1 Water Elent Collection Workshop
[Description]: A unique building constructed from the secondary branches of the World Tree and soil. When residents are working inside, it can gather Water Elent to synthesize pure water.
The amount of pure water synthesized daily varies based on the abundance of Water Elent within the Water Elent Collection Workshop’s effective range.
[Effect]: 0-100 units of pure water/day
[Prosperity]: 10
[Requirents]: 10 Wood, 10 Stone. (Affected by "Flourishing Branches")
-----------------
[Na]: Level 1 Fire Elent Collection Workshop
[Description]: A unique building constructed from the secondary branches of the World Tree and soil. When residents are working inside, it can gather fire elent to synthesize Fla Stones.
The amount of Fla Stones generated daily varies based on the abundance of fire elent within the Fire Elent Collection Workshop’s effective range.
[Effect]: 0-100 units of Fla Stones/day
[Prosperity]: 10
[Requirents]: 10 Wood, 10 Stone. (Affected by "Flourishing Branches")
-----------------
[Na]: Level 1 Elental Crystal Condenser
[Description]: A unique building constructed from the secondary branches of the World Tree and soil. When residents are working inside, it can condense surrounding elents to synthesize corresponding Elental Crystals.
The synthesized Elental Crystals are single-attribute Elental Crystals.
The amount of crystals synthesized daily varies based on the abundance of elents within the Elental Crystal Condenser’s effective range.
[Effect]: 0-100 units of crystals/day
[Prosperity]: 100
[Requirents]: 1000 Wood, 1000 Stone. (Affected by "Flourishing Branches")
Just from the nas, it was obvious that these new buildings were unlocked by the Five Elents Core embedded in the Lingxin Departnt.
However, aside from the ore synthesized by the Gold Elent Collection Workshop, whose use was imdiately obvious, Lin Yu had no idea what to do with the remaining pure water, Fla Stones, and Elental Crystals.
Lin Yu knew what pure water was, but he couldn’t imagine what this substance, which required specialized laboratory production on Cuiwei Star, could be used for. It seed his territory had no need for it at the mont.
He would have to wait until there were more intelligent lifeforms in the territory to form a dedicated laboratory to experint, or unlock their uses through the Technology Tree, to learn their purpose.
In order to accumulate as many resources as possible, Lin Yu focused on building warehouses, Wood Elent Collection Workshops, and Earth Elent Collection Workshops, along with a small number of Gold Elent Collection Workshops, about ten Water Elent Collection Workshops, and a single Fire Elent Collection Workshop.
The Gold Elent Collection Workshops needed to be built in places where mineral deposits were distributed. Lin Yu could only test locations one by one, which was ntally draining, so he only built a few.
He built ten Water Elent Collection Workshops because, while he didn’t know what pure water was for, he worried it might have a major use, so he built so just in case.
As for the Fire Elent Collection Workshop, he had trouble finding a place to build it. After a great deal of effort, he finally discovered a spot near a hot spring with higher collection efficiency and built one there.
