Chapter 188: Level 4 Advanced Building |
"Drink more." Qin Ziwen took out the Healing Spring and poured it for the Crowned Eagle.
Most of its injuries were external wounds, and the Healing Spring's effect was outstanding. The main priority was to stop the bleeding at several critical points first.
Wang Yun stepped forward and skillfully bandaged the Crowned Eagle's wounds. He had prepared medicine and bandages before setting out today.
He looked up, gazing at the Crowned Eagle's head towering far above him. "This is my first time bandaging such a large bird. If I didn't know this was your pet, Captain, I wouldn't dare get this close."
The Crowned Eagle's beak was practically a skull cap opener; it could probably take a head off with one peck.
Two of the Red-Winged Pterosaurs lying on the ground nearby had indeed had their caps popped open.
Their heads had been ripped open, the wounds extremely gruesome.
These were all the Crowned Eagle's battle achievements.
But correspondingly, the Crowned Eagle's injuries were also severe. Many feathers had fallen out, and some spots were even "bald."
"Hoo~"
The Crowned Eagle lifted its head disdainfully, indicating these were just minor wounds.
"Captain, help! Ssss—I think I'm gonna die." Yuan Ming clutched his shoulder, his clothes soaked through with blood, his face pale. While chasing a pterosaur earlier, he had accidentally been hooked by the small claw on the outer side of the pterosaur's wing membrane.
Then he had gotten an intimate hug from the pterosaur, and a large chunk of flesh had been torn from his neck.
"Sit down, don't move around." Qin Ziwen made him sit, then took a thermos from the backpack on his back and gave him all the water inside.
After drinking the Healing Spring, the bleeding from Yuan Ming's shoulder wound gradually stopped.
"I'll get you more spring water when we get back. As long as you don't die, it's fine." Qin Ziwen checked him over, confirmed there was no life-threatening danger, then gave the remaining spring water to the students.
A few students had also been injured during the fight with the Red-Winged Pterosaurs.
Yuan Ming lay down in relief. Seeing his shoulder gushing blood like an open faucet earlier had scared him so much he didn't even feel the pain in his shoulder.
Now that the bleeding had stopped, the sore, aching, painful sensation came flooding in like a tide. He lay on the ground, groaning and moaning.
Yuan Dajun walked over, helped Yuan Ming up, and let him lean against his shoulder.
"Dad, I'm fine."
"Fine? Look at the state of this. Still talking tough."
Yuan Ming said weakly, "No, I mean your shoulder is hard. I'd rather just lie on the ground."
Yuan Dajun's face darkened.
Forget it. He's my own flesh and blood. My own flesh and blood.
After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone began to retreat.
Going up the mountain is easy, coming down is hard. It took great effort to finally move the vehicle-mounted crossbow and the pterosaur corpses down.
By the time they returned to the residential complex, it was already 4 PM.
Qin Ziwen took out a Medium Height Expansion Card. A Small Height Expansion Card could increase the internal height of the Home by 2 meters. The Medium Height Expansion Card increased the height by a full 10 meters.
He crushed the card.
The entire dome of the Home vaulted upwards, instantly rising a great deal.
It expanded from five meters to fifteen meters.
Five stories high. This height was already the standard for many luxury hotel atriums.
Coupled with the grayish, hazy ceiling above, it now somewhat resembled a sky.
Afterwards, Qin Ziwen went to the Blacksmith.
Li Tieshan was busy. Qin Ziwen waited until he finished his current task before calling him over.
"Sir, are we upgrading?" Li Tieshan wiped his hands on the apron on his chest, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Yes. Today's upgrade might involve some significant changes. You'll need some time to adjust."
Hearing this, Li Tieshan smiled. "Then this humble one looks forward to it."
Qin Ziwen first took out four Level 1 Blacksmith cards and synthesized them into a Level 3 Blacksmith card, then used it on the current Level 3 Blacksmith.
Without waiting for the light to fade, Qin Ziwen took out a Building Enhancement Card and continued to use it.
The still-forming Level 4 Blacksmith continued upgrading towards a Level 5 Blacksmith.
The light grew increasingly intense.
Qin Ziwen then took out a Building Upgrade Card and used it on the structure.
At that moment, he received a prompt from the Home.
[The new building upgrade requires an area of 100*80 meters. Please confirm there is sufficient empty space around, or select a new area to place the building.]
Qin Ziwen's eyelids twitched. Eight thousand square meters!?
What are you planning to do with such a large area?
Do you know I have a large expansion card, so you're going all out, huh?
He had no choice but to first use the Grassland Expansion Card (Large). Vast stretches of grassland appeared in the distance, an area far exceeding the current size of the Home.
Qin Ziwen chose to place the new building on the right side of the northern grassland.
"Confirm."
The light on the original spot gradually faded, instead appearing on the right side of the northern grassland, occupying the area completely. The light was also quite tall, even extending upwards over a large area.
When it finally dissipated, a majestic building stood in its place.
Calling it a building was an understatement; it was more like a small town.
The outer perimeter even had a layer of tall wooden walls and fencing.
The front featured a tall main gate.
On the gate were inscribed five large characters: Yanwu Military Arsenal.
Behind the gate lay vast, continuous stretches of buildings.
[Level 4 Yanwu Military Arsenal: Level 4 Military Industry Zeal, Level 3 Military Equipment Standardization, Level 5 Exclusive R&D, Level 3 Efficiency Boost] (Special Effect: Weapons produced by the Yanwu Military Arsenal will be harder and more difficult to destroy) (Inlaid: Level 2 Rare Treasure, Sharp Edge Stone)
[Similar type of building detected. Merge?]
Qin Ziwen pondered. This similar type of building probably referred to the Leather Armor Workshop and the Archery Workshop.
He first went to the Leather Armor Workshop and Archery Workshop to relocate everyone working inside.
Then he chose to merge.
The two buildings disappeared from their spots.
Many people who had been working inside were suddenly plunged into confusion.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Why did their workplace suddenly vanish?
Someone cautiously asked, "Guild Leader... is our job... gone?"
"You still have jobs. Follow me." Qin Ziwen led them to the northern grassland.
The crowd followed him to the north and then saw this majestic building that could be called a small town.
The group stared, dumbfounded, as if witnessing a divine miracle.
Qin Ziwen used Insight.
[Level 4 Yanwu Military Arsenal: Level 4 Military Industry Zeal, Level 3 Military Equipment Standardization, Level 5 Exclusive R&D, Level 3 Efficiency Boost, Level 2 Leather Armor Defense Boost] Special Effects: ① Weapons produced by the Yanwu Military Arsenal will be harder and more difficult to destroy. ② Armor produced by the workshops can regulate temperature, warm in winter and cool in summer. (Inlaid: Level 2 Rare Treasure, Sharp Edge Stone)
Some of the effects of the two workshops had been integrated into the Yanwu Military Arsenal, especially the special effect. Previously limited to leather armor, now not just leather armor, but all armor could gain the temperature-regulating, warm-in-winter-cool-in-summer effect.
This effect alone made the fusion of the two ordinary buildings completely worthwhile.
"Your workplace from now on will be inside here."
Qin Ziwen led them into the Yanwu Military Arsenal. The interior area was vast but also very compact, with almost no wasted empty land. Rows of houses and workshops for crafting various military equipment stretched on continuously.
According to function, it was divided into eight sections: Sword Forging, Long Weapon, Armor, Bow and Crossbow, Research and Development, Special Machinery, Storage Warehouse, and Materials Warehouse.
