Mandatory selections — looks like Karim really does love this forced-choice format.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou clicked her tongue as she finished reading the facility requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only three choices was going to be tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hmm, is there a second page?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lan Qingyou was agonizing over her choices, she noticed a page-turn arrow at the very bottom. She quickly flipped to see what was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And found...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Alchemy Array detected within Shelter. Survivor estimated to be an Alchemist.

In the midst of her hesitation, a face suddenly popped into Lan Qingyou's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She set up a Sand purchase order on the Exchange, stashed the two buckets of water in her storage, and opened her friends list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Got any Iron Ore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Yes. How much do you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou's eyebrow twitched. Instant reply.

An alchemist has no interest in money.\" — Albert]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right. As the great Master Albert once said, money to an alchemist was just a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same went for materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan moved fast, sending the trade request almost immediately. Lan Qingyou took one look — and sure enough, in the short time since their last deal, the man had already collected thirteen more boxes of test tubes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou accepted everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, test tubes were money. Every box she bought was profit waiting to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all materials accounted for, Lan Qingyou started the upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't bother looking at anything else — she went straight for Bathroom, Second Floor Terrace (Large), and Alchemy Workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bed? A sofa? Neither was essential for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she already had a mattress. Why would she need a bed frame?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same logic applied to the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, eating was non-negotiable, but she didn't need a stove right now. And cooking? Even a simple meal took half an hour; anything proper was at least an hour. That was study time wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Studying makes me happy! I love studying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Storage Room and First Floor Platform were the same — temporarily unnecessary luxuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she wanted was practicality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bathroom needed little explanation — the mere thought of bathing made her itch all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Floor Terrace was for sun-drying. Not herself — her herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some herbs needed to be dried before use, and others had to be ground into powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alchemy Workshop spoke for itself. As an alchemist — well, she didn't even qualify as a proper apprentice yet — it was a non-negotiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once her selections were made and she'd confirmed that materials were sufficient, Lan Qingyou hit Build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoke billowed from one corner of the first floor, accompanied by a cacophony of clanging and hammering. The second floor was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou watched quietly from below, not going up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding! Congratulations to District 666 Abandoned Forest individual \"Lan Qingyou\" for being the first to upgrade to Level 2 Shelter. You have been awarded one selectable reward. Keep up the good work.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke had barely cleared — Lan Qingyou hadn't even had time to inspect anything — when the World Will's voice rang in her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Forgive my limited vocabulary, but — it's only the second day and Lan Qingyou already upgraded her Shelter to Level 2?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are lacking in vocabulary. Is this worth being shocked over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the moment she started exchanging for Monster Crystal Cores, everyone could tell she was close to upgrading.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anything, with several thousand materials stocked up, it'd be weird if she didn't upgrade today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I expected the upgrade. What I didn't expect was a reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Must be nice running a monopoly. Earned a fortune, and now she's got a Level 2 Shelter. Bet she's sleeping soundly tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Lan Qingyou, boss — can you tell us what a Level 2 Shelter looks like? Just curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Lan Qingyou, don't keep it to yourself. Your Level 2 Shelter was crowdfunded by all of us. Share a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I admire how your mind works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Crowdfunded' — how did you even come up with that word? Are you perhaps a genius?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not even hard for him, honestly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the World Will's announcement, people who'd been on the verge of sleep — or had already gone to bed — scrambled up to weigh in and celebrate the occasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou, naturally, knew nothing of this. She was busy choosing her reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having done this yesterday, she now knew the drill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to yesterday's starter reward, this time the options were slightly different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The selection screen showed four categories: [Tools], [Magic], [Items], and [Knowledge].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou didn't even glance at the others. She went straight for [Knowledge].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, everything else was fleeting. Only knowledge was truly all-powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment she opened [Knowledge], her mind went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basic Handicrafts.\" \"Basic Cultivation Studies.\" \"Basic Animal Husbandry.\" \"Monster Studies.\" \"Monster Compendium.\" \"Basic Magical Instrument Crafting.\" \"Basic Beast Taming.\" \"Basic Astronomy.\" \"Basic Astrology.\" \"Basic Meteorology.\" \"Basic Mechanics.\" \"Basic Enchanting\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total, it felt like there were even more options than in the [Tools] category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What should I choose?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No — what do I need most right now?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou, who suffered from a mild case of choice paralysis, kept asking herself that question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying true to her priorities. Scrolling slowly through the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could, she'd take them all. But that was obviously impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, her gaze came to rest on a single title — \"Basic Potioneering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1194,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.676Z",1,"novelbin.me","667125f1ce0be1caa375f847307de91f1200005fa06db4d1fb633714e932b0e5","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-17","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-15",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
