Chapter 390: Building Upgrade |
"Brother Li, how are the canned goods inside?"
"Brother Li, are there any extra cans?"
"Brother Li..."
The crowd surrounded him in several layers.
When Li Yue came out, he found himself right in the middle of the throng.
"Everyone, move aside, make way." Li Yue frowned and shouted loudly.
Only then did the people crowding around slowly quiet down.
Li Yue raised a finger, "First, the canned goods allocation is fixed. Coming to me won't change anything."
"Second, the Guild Leader said the canned goods are special supplies. They will be listed on the Alliance's public board. Anyone with Contribution Points can exchange for them. Of course, there's a weekly limit per person because production is limited, to allow more people a chance to exchange."
"That's all I have to say. Do you have any other questions?"
"Brother Li, are these cans really as miraculous as they say? Can they really help someone break through to Superhuman?"
Li Yue shook his head and said calmly, "I can't give you a definite answer. You'll have to find out by eating them yourselves. Whether it's effective or not, you'll understand after trying one."
After explaining, the crowd dispersed.
Only after everyone else had left did Li Yue's tense expression finally relax.
He rubbed his face. He hadn't expected these canned goods to become so popular overnight.
Even he felt a little tempted.
Because he hadn't broken through to Superhuman yet.
His current physical fitness was five stars, just one step away from Superhuman.
But he wasn't sure either. Without a stroke of luck, he didn't know when he'd be able to take that step.
"Why is someone so young sighing?" Qin Ziwen's voice suddenly came from behind.
Li Yue was startled. Turning around and seeing it was the Guild Leader, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Guild Leader, how come you walk without making a sound?"
"You were lost in thought. I came over and saw you spacing out here. What's on your mind? Spring fever?" Qin Ziwen raised an eyebrow.
Li Yue looked a bit embarrassed. "It's nothing. I was just thinking about when I can break through to Superhuman."
"Work harder, be more diligent. There's hope." Qin Ziwen chuckled lightly. "But after breaking through to Superhuman, the task difficulty for the Breakthrough Card will probably increase. I'm not sure if it will affect you if you plan to take the craftsman route."
"Understood. Thank you, Guild Leader." Li Yue said gratefully.
"Alright, go on and get busy." Qin Ziwen patted him on the shoulder.
After Li Yue left,
Qin Ziwen looked at the two buildings. Currently, within Giant Beast Heavy Industry, the two activated buildings were the Giant Beast Breeding Center and the Giant Beast Feed Processing Plant.
The effects of the Giant Beast Breeding Center were Incubation Acceleration, Growth Acceleration, Voracious Appetite, while also increasing the rate of beneficial mutations, loyalty priority, and Beast Spirit enhancement, boosting spiritual nature.
The Giant Beast Feed Processing Plant went without saying—it could decompose prey carcasses into canned goods, helping the physical body break through to Superhuman.
Among them, the Giant Beast Feed Processing Plant was Level 3, and the Giant Beast Breeding Center was Level 2.
After a moment of thought, Qin Ziwen decided to transform this extra Tongwu Grand Training Ground card into a Breeding Center.
He took out the card and released it from his palm.
It was as if it was snatched up by an invisible entity.
Qin Ziwen looked up, but could only see a chaotic darkness.
For a fleeting moment, it felt as if the entire Giant Beast Heavy Industry had come alive.
When he blinked, the card was floating in mid-air. There was no invisible entity snatching it; what he saw just now was merely an illusion.
A faint layer of mist rose from the surface of the azure-blue metal card.
The mist outlined the phantom of a massive training ground.
The phantom trembled violently.
As if squeezed by an invisible giant hand, it deformed.
Finally, it shattered with a crash.
The scattered multicolored mist coalesced again, transforming above the metal card into a gray, square castle-like structure.
The phantom dissipated, and the card fell into his hand.
Qin Ziwen held the cool card, looking around.
The surroundings were empty and quiet.
Looking down at the card in his hand again, his gaze sharpened.
【Advanced Building Card】Level 1 Giant Beast Breeding Center (Locked): This card has been transformed and cannot be transformed a second time.
So transformed cards cannot be transformed again.
He then took out the Advanced Building Duplication Card.
The Duplication Card's color was like a lump of kneaded-together modeling clay, multicolored, with a simple, unadorned palette.
The Advanced Building Duplication Card in his hand slowly changed, resonating with the nearby Giant Beast Breeding Center, eventually becoming completely identical, exactly the same.
Two Level 1 Advanced Buildings merged, a flash of light.
【Advanced Building Card】Level 2 Giant Beast Breeding Center.
Qin Ziwen silently recited 'use' in his heart.
The card in his hand turned into a streak of light that shot into the distance, merging with the surrounding darkness.
A moment later,
the entire Giant Beast Heavy Industry seemed to come alive, emitting a heavy, breathing sound.
Bricks and stones shifted, stacked, and interlocked.
He took a flashlight from his pocket and turned it to maximum brightness.
Under the light's illumination, the outline of the Giant Beast Breeding Center in the distance was undergoing changes.
Originally a two-story gray castle, it was now rising upward.
The walls of the third floor condensed from the void, bricks stacking one by one, fitting together perfectly.
Simultaneously, the building's color was also changing.
The gray gradually faded, replaced by a deeper, metallic bluish-black.
Faint patterns surfaced on the wall, resembling the scale patterns on a giant beast's skin.
When the Breeding Center finished upgrading, the heavy breathing sound within Giant Beast Heavy Industry slowly faded away.
【Ultimate Building · Level 1 Giant Beast Heavy Industry】
【Subordinate Branch Building · Level 3 Giant Beast Breeding Center】
【Level 3 Giant Beast Breeding Center: Level 4 Incubation Acceleration, Level 4 Growth Acceleration, Level 2 Voracious Appetite】(Special Effects: ① Animals bred in the Giant Beast Breeding Center will have larger builds than their counterparts, with a low probability of beneficial mutation. Additionally, Giant Beasts hatched by the Breeding Center will have their first loyalty priority be the Home Master. ② Beast Spirit: Animals growing within this building will receive a slight boost in spiritual nature, making it easier for them to perceive human emotions.)
Qin Ziwen glanced over it. No new characteristics were added; they were all just upgraded by one level from their original state.
But Level 3 is sufficient for now.
Actually, upgrading the Giant Beast Breeding Center wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Ever since subduing the Giant Aphid Rhinoceros Beetle and the Belly Aphid Spider swarm, Qin Ziwen had been pondering how to maximize the domestication and rearing of these insects.
The Insect Taming Hall was just one part of the plan.
Although these Belly Aphid Spiders wouldn't attack other people in the Home for now, they were essentially untamed. The only one truly tamed was the Giant Aphid Rhinoceros Beetle.
The Belly Aphid Spiders only obeyed the commands of the Giant Aphid Rhinoceros Beetle.
This was a chain, but the chain was too thin, unable to fully restrain their wild nature.
If something ever happened to the Giant Aphid Rhinoceros Beetle, or if it wasn't present, these Belly Aphid Spiders would instantly lose control.
They weren't refraining from attacking people now because they recognized humans, but because the Giant Aphid Rhinoceros Beetle forbade them from attacking.
Therefore, the Giant Beast Breeding Center was the second chain Qin Ziwen prepared for their next generation.
Offspring born within the Breeding Center would be more loyal and could also become smarter.
Since those fish-men liked playing with insects, Qin Ziwen would personally raise an even more ferocious insect army!
