Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 109 - 96: Advanced, Second Order Frost Mage

Cao Xing began negotiating one by one, and after about half an hour of pulling and pushing, he finally settled all the prices.

[Transaction successful: You’ve acquired the [Basic City Wall Construction Blueprint], and lost [Frost Bomb Rabbit Meat (Blue)] *2]

[Transaction successful: You’ve acquired the [Mid-Rank City Wall Construction Blueprint], and lost [Frost Bomb Rabbit Meat (Blue)] *8]

[Transaction successful: You’ve acquired [Basic Cowshed Construction Blueprint], and lost [Frost Bomb Rabbit Meat (Blue)] *1]

[Transaction successful…]

After more than a dozen system prompts, Cao Xing used 120 pieces of blue rabbit meat to exchange for all these things.

This round could be described as a huge harvest!

Just the construction blueprints garnered 9 sheets!

Plus 6 skill books!

Excluding those blueprints with obvious uses from their titles like [Cowshed], [Bakery], [Intermediate Furnace], [Vegetable Greenhouse].

Cao Xing still held five special blueprints.

At this moment, the survivors in the chat channel still seemed to have something more to say.

But at the current stage, they didn’t have much that could tempt Cao Xing.

After all, their levels were too low.

So when he sold bear meat and rabbit meat, the prices weren’t set too harshly.

Cao Xing nodded to himself, “While gaining significant profits, allowing more people to survive is the long-term strategy.”

“Only when these survivors level up can they bring me more and more precious resources.”

After finishing the trades, Cao Xing directly closed the chat channel.

Then, with an excited heart, Cao Xing began reviewing the blueprints he had acquired.

[Basic City Wall Construction Blueprint]

[Armor: 40]

[Durability: 1200]

[Area: 10 meters long * 3 meters high * 40 centimeters wide (can be constructed flexibly)]

[Materials required for construction: Level 1 Lord’s Hut, Stone *30, Wood *20]

[Time required: 0 hours 24 minutes]

(Item description: A basic stone city wall, can be upgraded with blueprints to Mid-Rank City Wall.)

…

[Mid-Rank City Wall Construction Blueprint]

[Armor: 120]

[Durability: 5000]

[Area: 10 meters long * 4 meters high * 60 centimeters wide]

[Upgrade requirements: Level 2 Lord’s Hut, Basic City Wall, Stone *100, Wood *50, Iron *10]

[Time required: 4 hours 32 minutes]

(Item description: A sturdier level 2 city wall, can be upgraded with blueprints to a High-Rank City Wall.)

…

Obviously, these two blueprints were complementary.

The [Basic City Wall] had to be built first before upgrading to the [Mid-Rank City Wall].

Cao Xing clapped his hands and clicked to learn these two blueprints.

Then he continued to check.

[Heating Pipeline Construction Blueprint]

[Attribute: Can lay multiple pipelines in the territory to transport the furnace’s heat indoors, raising the temperature.]

[Durability: 100]

[Length: 1 meter]

[Materials required for construction: Level 11 Furnace, Iron *5, Copper *1]

(A tool that can enhance the happiness of subjects, you are advised to build it early.)

…

[Intermediate Territory Storage Box Construction Blueprint]

[Capacity: 80]

[Upgrade materials required: Basic Territory Storage Box, Wood *30, Mithril *10, Basic Elemental Crystal *5]

(Intermediate storage box, holds even more!)

…

[Basic Iron Gate Blueprint]

[Armor: 100]

[Durability: 3000]

[Area: 3 meters wide * 3 meters high * 10 centimeters thick]

[Materials required for construction: Level 1 Lord’s Hut, Wood *50, Stone *30, Iron *20, Copper *5]

(Keep a good watch on your gate.)

…

All three blueprints were quite good.

And when the novice protection period was lifted, these blueprints could significantly increase the territory’s security!

Cao Xing clapped his hands and clicked to learn them all.

Then, it was time for the six skill books he was most looking forward to.

Removing the [Firepower Enhancement] and [Hunter Perception] prepared for Xia Yanni and Tong Chuchu.

There were two left for him and Liu Muxue, two books each.

Cao Xing first checked his two skill books.

[Ice Wall Skill: Condenses magic power to create a 3-meter high * 2-meter wide * 50-centimeter wide ice wall in a 50-meter area in front, blocking enemy attacks.]

[Ice Wall Durability: Spiritual Power *10]

[Maximum duration: 5 minutes]

[Skill cooldown: 60 seconds]

…

“Not bad, my spiritual power is almost at 60 now, and with 600 durability points, it can block quite a few attacks.”

“Plus, I can immediately advance to Second Order, and my spiritual power can increase significantly.”

“By then, with the effect of the Snow Mountain Robe, I might be able to summon two ice walls directly.”

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and continued to check the next skill book.

[Big Ice Spear: Consumes a certain amount of spirit, condensing a large ice spear, dealing attack power *188 of magic damage to the enemy, with a 70% chance to cause 1~3 seconds of frozen effect, cooldown time: 30 seconds.]

“This Big Ice Spear should be an upgraded version of the Ice Cone Skill, with significant improvements in lethality and attack distance, and the frozen probability also increased.”

Cao Xing was delighted, “Not bad, not bad, both skills are very good.”

He clapped his hands and directly learned them all.

[Successfully learned skills: [Ice Wall Skill], [Big Ice Spear].]

Then a bright red crystal appeared in his hand, which was the [Basic Power Crystal].

It could allow him, after reaching level 10, to advance to Second Order creatures, with greatly enhanced attributes.

“This thing seems to have no probability of failure, and since my level is right, let’s break through directly.”

Cao Xing clicked to use it.

In the next moment, a pure force emerged within his body.

Cao Xing felt as if his entire being had undergone some transformation, with an unparalleled joy welling up in his heart.

The system prompt appeared.

[Advancement successful: You have become a Mid-Rank Frost Mage, all attributes increased by 100%]

[Note: The all-attribute increase is a basic attribute increase, attributes added by equipment and the like will not be affected by advancement.]

…

A powerful enhancement!

The basic attributes doubled, greatly improving his vision, physical strength, reaction ability, and spiritual power.

Each advancement was a qualitative transformation for any creature!

Cao Xing first put on the [Snow Mountain Robe], increasing his spiritual power by another 10 points.

He checked his attributes.

[Name: Cao Xing]

[Race: Blue Star Human Clan]

[Level: Level 10/75/10000 (Second Order)]

[Detailed attributes: Click to view.]

…

“Very good, the Ice Healing Skill can restore 75 life per second now! The Ice Armor Skill can also add more than fifty armor points, now facing monsters below first tier, I wouldn’t die even if I wanted to!”

Cao Xing was overjoyed.

At this time, he seemed to remember something, “I remember the Medina Rose Red Wine I picked up on the mountain during the day can increase 10 spiritual attributes, and another kind of strong wine can also increase 10 power points.”

“Having a couple of drinks during dinner should be good.”

Then, there were two other skill books for the Aurora Knight.

[Holy Healing Skill: Condense the power of aurora to instantly restore spirit *3 health to a friendly unit, cooldown time 30 seconds.]

Cao Xing considered, “Muxue’s spiritual power should be around 50 points, times three would be a recovery number of 160, though not high, it’s better than nothing.”

The second one was called [Shield Bash]

[Shield Bash: Fiercely bash against the target with a shield, causing 91% damage, with an 80% chance of causing 2~5 seconds of dizziness state, cooldown time 120 seconds.]

This was a good control and survival skill. If used well, it could achieve a chain control effect.

So far, the results from this transaction of Cao Xing had almost been processed.

It could be described as a bumper harvest.

At this moment, Dahua came to Cao Xing’s side and said respectfully, “Lord, dinner is ready.”

“Shall I serve the food to your hut first?”

Cao Xing shook his head, “No need, today we’ll also eat at the cafeteria.”

“By the way, Dahua, prepare a cup for everyone.”

From previously using the [Vitality Secret Medicine], Cao Xing already knew that taking these items with beneficial effects could also receive the [Eternal Power] bonus.

Cao Xing intended to use the red wine and strong wine found today to enhance the attributes of all the members in the territory.

Soon, Cao Xing, along with Liu Muxue, arrived at the cafeteria.

The [Cafeteria] was currently only level 1 and small in size, but it was already crowded with creatures from different races, dazzling to the eyes.

Snake-man Tribe, Char Clan, Tree Spirit Clan, Centaur and more…

Cao Xing pondered, “It seems that upgrading the cafeteria should also be put on the agenda.”

“Otherwise, there isn’t enough space for everyone to eat.”

Seeing Cao Xing and Liu Muxue enter, all the subjects had respectful expressions on their faces.

Subject Cao Yi began his speech, which was nothing more than praising Cao Xing’s contribution to the entire territory and the bravery of the other warriors.

As he spoke, Dahua and Erhua each held a bottle of red wine, filling everyone’s glasses.

The rich aroma of wine mixed with the scent of food spread instantly.

Everyone couldn’t help sniffing, especially the two centaurs who were so excited that their eyes widened.

“Oh! Modir’s ancestors above, such a rich wine aroma, this is superior red wine!”

“Kandar, we can finally taste such delicious red wine!”

Even the determined knight Assam wore a smile.

Cao Xing smiled and then raised his glass, saying, “Let’s toast to today’s efforts and our new members!”

In the cafeteria, all the members raised their glasses and shouted excitedly.

“Cheers!!!”

Cao Xing drank his red wine in one go.

Not long after, the system prompt appeared.

[Successfully consumed [Medina Rose Red Wine], Spiritual Attribute +10, the talent [Eternal Power] has taken effect, this state has become permanent.]

Not only Cao Xing, but all the subjects present, including those Polar People, Tree Spirit Clan, all gained attribute increases.

They widened their eyes and looked at each other.

But the next moment, everyone understood something.

“Praise to the Lord, your power continues to amaze us!”

“Praise to the Lord!!”

Cao Xing smiled, “Everyone, there is a second cup, this one is strong wine, be careful not to get drunk.”
