Chapter 4: Upgrading Base, Unlocking the Reward!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Back at the base, Chris retrieved all the wood and stone.

Illusory lights appeared, and a pile of wood and stone was placed neatly in front of him.

“This world still has this kind of automatic placement mechanism. Not bad.”

Chris nodded with satisfaction. Beside him, Whitey also opened its dragon mouth and happily watched this scene.

It seemed like this was the first time it had seen such a scene.

“Ding! The materials are sufficient. Do you want to upgrade your base?”

[Yes] [No]

Suddenly, a mechanical voice appeared in his mind.

Furthermore, two options appeared before Chris.

Needless to say, these were definitely the two options to upgrade the base. Chris decisively chose yes.

In this world, leveling up the base could increase one’s strength. Chris also wanted to see what benefits he could get after leveling up his base.

A heavy voice sounded, and a dazzling white light appeared in front of Chris.

At the same time, the straw hut started to shine brightly.

The white light disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chris subconsciously turned around and saw that the straw hut had disappeared.

Instead, it was replaced by a house made of blocks and wood.

However, when Chris reached the door, he heard sounds coming from inside.

“Could it be?”

Chris had already guessed what would happen next, but he still wanted to witness it with his own eyes.

Thus, Chris tried to open the door, but it was locked by an invisible force.

“What exactly is going on?”

About thirty seconds later, when Chris was about to let Whitey break the door, the door opened by itself.

The scene that greeted Chris’s eyes shocked him!

All sorts of furniture were placed in the wood compartmented room, and they were divided into several rooms. All the necessary furniture was present!

The furniture was all made from wood from before.

Every piece of furniture seemed to be made by a top-grade craftsman!

“Ding! Your base has been upgraded to level 2! Do you want to upgrade other buildings?”

Seeing this, Chris opened the other panels.

[Wood Warehouse: Level 1 Wood Warehouse can store 1,000 wood. Construction requires 200 wood!]

[Stone Warehouse: Level 1 Stone Warehouse can store 1,000 stones. Construction requires 200 stones!]

[Defense Wall: LV1 Defense Wall can resist small animals. Every square meter requires 10 wood and 15 stone.]

Chris looked at his remaining wood and stone.

“Build a wood and stone warehouse. It should be enough for now.”

Wood: 760

Stone Materials: 940

“It is not an issue if I want to build a wood and stone warehouse with my current resources.”

“The key question is, how many materials are needed for the defense walls?”

Chris started calculating.

However, no matter how he analyzed it, the prerequisite was that he had to build a wood and stone warehouse first.

“Do you want to build a wood warehouse?”

[Yes] [No]

“Do you want to build a stone warehouse?”

[Yes] [No]

Chris didn’t hesitate at all. He chose yes for both.

After all, who would know if someone would come to steal the materials if he left them here?

As the saying goes, if he hoards food, and I hoard soldiers. He is my granary.

However, if I were to store food in a safe place, it would be secure.

As a result, the construction of this stone and wood warehouse was necessary!

As soon as Chris ordered the constructions, the stone and wood disappeared, and two dazzling lights appeared in front of him.

Chris, who was covering his eyes, could hear the sound of stone and wood being assembled. He was quite amazed.

In this world, as long as there were enough materials, anything could be created!

Putting his hands down, Chris saw an unbelievable scene.

The amount of stone and wood in front of him had decreased greatly, but what replaced them were a stone building and a wooden building!

These two buildings gave Chris a feeling that they were many times stronger than the original straw hut!

Chirp chirp chirp!

Whitey also cried out in surprise.

“However, how many materials does this defense wall require?”

While Chris was puzzled, the system gave him an answer.

“Surrounding the wood warehouse, the stone warehouse, and the base with defense walls will cost 500 wood and 700 stone.”

“Detected that the host has sufficient stone and wood. Do you want to build?”

[Yes] [No]

Chris laughed when he saw this.

“This system is really considerate. It can even measure such a thing. I thought I had to estimate it.”

Now, Chris truly understood that in this world, strength was everything!

There was no need for him to estimate anything. As long as there were enough materials, the system would solve all the problems.

Without any hesitation, Chris chose yes.

“System, start building.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground started trembling, starting from the base. At the same time, the large amount of stone and wood in the wood warehouse and stone warehouse started to disappear rapidly.

Just as Chris was wondering what was going on, it pierced out of the ground like a spike.

Walls made of wood and stone appeared before him.

Moreover, from what Chris saw, these defense walls seemed to be tens of times stronger than the straw hut from before!

Just as Whitey was about to test out the new ‘furniture’, Chris stopped it.

“Let me do it. Whitey, stand further away.”

Upon hearing that, Whitey nodded its head slightly and hid obediently between the stone and wood warehouse.

Chris kicked the defense wall strongly.

The hard sensation stunned Chris.

The defense walls did not even shake, the recoil instead sent Chris a few steps back!

Even the wild bull from before might not be able to shake these sturdy walls!

And you said this was used to defend against small animals?

At the same time, a mechanical neutral voice sounded in his mind.

“Ding! Congratulations on becoming the first player in this world to be promoted to level 2 base! System reward: One copy of Witch Potion Crafting Book!”
