Now that was a familiar name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd just used it today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn't blame anyone — compared to everything else, these things were absurdly easy to obtain. One jab with a shovel and you'd turn up one or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Gu Xiaobei using them to make soup — Lan Qingyou was, surprisingly, perfectly understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Slime Mushrooms... weren't those for making corrosive potions? That counted as food?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lan Qingyou's head was swimming with question marks, the Small Screen had already confirmed there was no toxicity. Which meant it was genuinely edible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the contents of her spoon with a complicated expression, Lan Qingyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Steam Pot Chicken, crossing-bridge rice noodles, creative use of mushrooms, and bugs...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'OK.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Where Gu Xiaobei is from is pretty obvious at this point.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou opened her mouth and swallowed the broth and mushroom slice in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on — mere earthworms and Slime Mushrooms? As long as it wasn't poisonous, it was all the same to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, this modified Steam Pot Chicken was genuinely delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she didn't fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, for Lan Qingyou, none of this was particularly hard to stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after building up a working knowledge of alchemy, magic potions, and the rest of this world's systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything in this world was inherently infused with mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you looked at it that way, she wasn't drinking earthworm broth — she was drinking mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that wasn't an exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the meal, Lan Qingyou sent the dishes back through the Small Screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"It was delicious. But I'd suggest stockpiling food, wood, and water at home — at least three or four days' worth. That way, when the Novice Protection Period ends, you won't need to go outside for a few days. Take the time to observe the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaobei: \"Got it. Thanks, boss! I'll start preparing right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou had passed along her own plans to Gu Xiaobei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, she didn't want to lose such an excellent — and delicious — takeout supplier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for her other two friends, Shang Chuan and Li Huai — Lan Qingyou didn't bother telling them, nor did she need to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan, the crafty merchant, would figure it out himself. And as for Li Huai — though she'd never met him in person, if something like a beast horde hit, he'd probably just be thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well-fed and content, Lan Qingyou picked up her book and dove back into Magic Circuitry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to improve her alchemy array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Albert, a standard batch of potions did indeed require at least eight hours of brewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for experimental purposes, rapid maturing was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this accelerated process was mainly for saving time and validating theories. The results were usable, but significantly weaker than the standard version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the clock quietly crept from the depths of Day Seven's night past midnight into Day Eight, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky outside the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then every Blue Star Earthling heard the voice of the World's Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The seven-day Novice Protection Period has ended. Come now, people of Blue Star — the veil that concealed the Kalim Continent's true face has been torn away by the mana turbulence. The rest is up to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please survive. If nothing else, for your own sake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After those two sentences, the World's Will fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou, lying in bed with her book, glanced beyond the floor-to-ceiling window — and was immediately captivated by the scene outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder and lightning raged, illuminating the pitch-black sky in violent bursts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howling wind slammed against the sliding glass doors, rattling them so hard that Lan Qingyou genuinely wondered if the thin glass might shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing her shelter was Level 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she got up, grabbed the lantern from the bookshelf, and descended to the first floor via the vine rope ladder — one she hadn't used since the place was built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the magic carriage lantern she'd left on the first floor had gone dark. The ground floor was pitch black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lantern in hand, Lan Qingyou sat at the desk to check on what was happening with everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help! My shelter is creaking everywhere! It feels like it's about to collapse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same here — those weird rune patterns are all glowing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Rune patterns glowing?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou looked around her own shelter. Nothing of the sort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Maybe it's because this is a Level 3 Shelter, so the Magic Shield's defense mechanism hasn't been triggered?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are your magic carriage lanterns still lit? Mine went out the moment the mana turbulence started.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope, mine died too. Thought it was just me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, looks like we're all in the same boat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone save me! I'm just two Monster Crystal Cores short! Anyone?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys haven't upgraded your shelters yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait — upgrading the shelter keeps the lantern on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I'm saying a Level 2 Shelter should at least be able to withstand this mana turbulence, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, the Novice Protection Period was the same for everyone. How is it that some people managed Level 2 and you didn't? Maybe look inward. Did you even try?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's over. A corner of my shelter just got ripped off by the mana turbulence. I don't think I'm making it through the night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Accepting inheritances! Anyone logging off for good, dump your materials and supplies for the public good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh ho! Well said, brother! I'll accept some inheritances too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, the guy who's two crystal cores short — hang in there! Add me as a friend and I'll give you two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it isn't Xin Tianle himself, the charitable big bro! I'm a few stones short — got any for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely. I can't help with a lot, but a few pieces? No problem. And I'm calling on everyone who has materials to spare — lend a hand where you can. If we all pull together, we can definitely ride out this mana turbulence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die! Die! You animals! All of you, die! Everyone, just die together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has this person lost their mind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else is new? Check the world channel — plenty of people snapping like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Lan Qingyou switched over to the world channel, which she hadn't checked in a while. Turns out, it wasn't much different from the Villain Valley crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People searching for lost loved ones, begging for materials, having breakdowns, preaching moral lessons, mocking others, watching the show unfold...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lan Qingyou didn't condemn human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she could do was live her own quiet life and avoid poking too many hornets' nests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick scan, the only noteworthy thing she spotted was a group calling themselves the former Blue Star Federation Council — now the \"Karim Council\" — rallying people for mutual aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, \"noteworthy\" was a stretch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Lan Qingyou, thoroughly unimpressed, turned to head back upstairs and read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Level 3 Shelter should hold through the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, she noticed the regional channel seemed to be discussing... her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Lan Qingyou, you've made a fortune by now. Don't you think it's time to give back a little?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.676Z",1,"novelbin.me","9bfa7a81f6577e5b8321e1ef2f45f936477e2a5630b9bea4d6e9007912d839d5","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-33","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-31",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
