Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Building a Safe House (Part 2)

The moment Song Jian chose to confirm his choice, the wood and stone materials in the package automatically turned into white light and flew out, merging into the villa’s phantom. The wood and stone materials ceaselessly condensed in mid-air into various shapes, filling every corner of the villa. In a mere thirty seconds, a villa brimming with a medieval style was constructed;
After the villa was remodeled, a cream-colored light spread from the villa, extending to the small courtyard. Soon, a system prompt appeared again before Song Jian;
System: Eight “abandoned fields” found. Do you want to rebuild them? Building each field requires a thousand units of wood and 300 units of stone;
Song Jian’s stock of wood and stone materials in his inventory had exceeded a hundred thousand units; for him, this amount of materials was measly, so he casually clicked on “Confirm.”
Swish-
The ground of the small courtyard, originally filled with rocky debris, was covered in white light. In no time, it had turned into four fertile fields;
System: Field remodel completed. A level 3 safe house can be upgraded to a Spirit Field;
Spirit Field?
Song Jian was taken aback, but then immediately thought of the “Tree Spirit Seedlings,” stored in his inventory. These were rare items that could be grown in the Spirit Field and had a potential to be upgraded into Tree Spirit Guardians;
“I’m already at a level 1 safe house. It doesn’t seem too difficult to reach level 3.” A smile surfaced on Song Jian’s face.
Soon, the white light further spread to the fences. The fences were now a mix of level 3 wood and level 1 stone fences, and they didn’t require more upgrades. They were just incorporated into the safe-house range by the white light;
The white light finally stopped slowly as it reached around one meter beyond the fences;
Within a one-meter range outside the fence, circular phantoms of future construction appeared;
As Song Jian’s gaze fell on the circular phantoms outside the fence, a line of small text was immediately displayed;
“Defensive traps can be built here. Current available traps: Wooden Spike Trap; Wooden Spike Trap: Defensive Structure, Effect: Inflictsioo piercing damage on all enemy targets that enter the trap’s range, and slows them down by 30% for 5 seconds; Construction requirements: 10 units of wood; Trap description: The trap can be reused, with a damage interval of 3 seconds. After 10 uses, the trap will be damaged and can be repaired with wood;”
Build!
With a thought from Song Jian, there immediately appeared dozens of Wooden Spike Traps surrounding the villa’s fence; now it was firmly encased within the traps.
Now that it was merely a level 1 safe house, the only defensive infrastructure that could be built was the Wooden Spike Trap;
System: The construction of the level 1 safe house is complete. Will you end the construction of the safe house?
Gazing at the system prompt before him, Song Jian immediately chose to continue the construction;
System: Building a level 2 safe house requires 5000 units of wood and 4000 units of stone. Will you commence the building?
Build!
Swish, swish, swish, the quantity of wood and stone decreased rapidly. After a few minutes, the entire three-story villa was constructed more solidly, and its defense had significantly improved;
The onlookers, who were watching with great interest, initially thought they’d find some fun in seeing the supposed destruction of this newly constructed safe house by monsters. They never expected that after nearly ten minutes or so, the green light pillar would still be present, with the renovations inside still ongoing;
“Holy smokes,this guy, how many materials had he collected? A whole three-story villa, along with a courtyard, how many materials does that need-” “Did he purchase VIP membership? Did he pay to win this?”
“I want to pay to win too, but this crummy game doesn’t even have a recharge window, I’m pretty desperate-”
The onlookers, seeing Song Jian leisurely renovate his safe house, felt as if they’re not playing the same game;
Song Jian didn’t have the time to pay attention to the jealous eyes of the onlookers, who seemed to be on the verge of bleeding from envy. After upgrading the safe house to level 2, he received a system prompt that the “Radio” in his inventory could be placed inside the safe house;
At that moment, the safe house was still an illusion, and Song Jian could see that it was empty, with the previously dilapidated furniture all gone.
“So after my safe house is set up, I have to construct my own furniture. Damn it, what kind of game is this?” Song Jian mumbled to himself;
The Radio in his inventory had been there a while. Originally, Song Jian’s inventory slot was not big, now he had freed up a slot, and Song Jian naturally moved it to the third floor of the villa immediately. According to his plan, the third floor should be his bedroom;
The radio turned into a white light and was placed on the floor of the third floor;
After entering the safe house, the radio, which had been unresponsive before, had a few indicator lights that started to flicker automatically, and a “zzz” sound of electrical current could be heard from it;
Song Jian vaguely heard a voice from the radio
“Wanted…zzz…Gathering Area ioi…capture or kill to gain…zzz…”
The electrical noise was too loud, and Song Jian knitted his eyebrows. With a thought, the Radio’s switch knob immediately made a “ka-da” sound and turned off the radio;
System: The level 2 safe house may be built with an additional basement. This will require 2000 units of wood and 3000 units of stone. The basement will have a defence amount of 6000 points, an area of sixty square meters, and only one entrance and exit;
“A basement? Holy smoke, isn’t that an extra storage room?” Song Jian paused and then immediately realised another use for the basement: storage. Although there was still the risk of theft or seizure, and it was somewhat inferior in storage efficiency compared to a storage box, the difficulty of entering through one entrance and breaking through the 6000 points of defense was considerable for the current player base.
Build it! This is a must!
Swish, swish, swish, another large sum of materials vanished. Underneath the villa, a group of white light was continuously writhing. A few minutes passed by, and a spacious basement appeared before Song Jian.
“Not bad, not bad, let’s see what kind of defensive architecture can be constructed in a level 2 safe house.” As Song Jian opened the list of defensive constructions, he saw that besides the Wooden Spike Trap, now there was an additional “Falling Rock Trap.”
Falling Rock Trap: Defensive Structure, effect: Inflicts 100 blunt damage on all enemy targets that enter the trap’s range, and creates a stunning effect that lasts for 5 seconds. Construction requirements: 15 units of stone; Trap description: The traps can be reused, with a damage interval of 3 seconds. After 10 uses, the trap will be damaged and can be repaired with stone.
Dozens of circles appeared on the mixed fence of level 3 wood and level 1 stone. These were all spots for setting up Falling Rock Traps. Anybody approaching the wall would automatically trigger these traps;
Looking over, Song Jian calculated that setting up Falling Rock Traps all over the fence would only require a maximum of 300 units of stone – he immediately resolved to set them up. Dozens of Falling Rock Traps appeared on the fence, and at the same time, Song Jian chose to replace the entire fence with level one stone fence. The mix of wood and stone fence was a visual disaster;
Wooden Spike Traps and Falling Rock Traps are consumable items. Although the materials required for construction are small, they won’t stand up to large-scale usage just like bullets for firearms. After one fight, the materials consumed may be comparable to, if not more than, that used in the construction of a safe house;
System: The construction of level 2 safe house is complete. Will you end the construction?
“Continue building the level 3 safe house!” A smile appeared on Song Jian’s face. Why had he collected so many materials? To have a place that was as impregnable as an iron fortress. If he doesn’t use these materials now, is he supposed to hold onto them forever?
