Chapter 65: The Transparent Person Who Forges Weapons

However, donated materials only count as contribution value when they are actually used and in hand.

The batch of materials Lin Yifan just handed to Chen Yunuo has already been distributed to those in need and used to survive this disaster.

As a result, a series of new information appeared on the light screen before him.

【Now begin broadcasting the mosquito swarm disaster progress (broadcast once per hour)】

【Current disaster countdown: 10 hours (ends tomorrow morning at 8:00)】

【Now begin broadcasting the current disaster mission progress (broadcast once per hour)】

【District remaining population: 68,475 people (currently ranked 86th)】

【Congratulations, Survivor Mr. Lin Yifan, you have contributed 3,686 points to all survivors in the district during this disaster, currently ranked first in the district. (This information can only be viewed by yourself)】

Lin Yifan stared at this string of information, his brows instantly knitting tightly.

He was not surprised that his own contribution value could rank first in the district.

Even if he hadn't ranked first, that would have been surprising!

However, the district ranking disappointed him a little; although still within the top 100, there are still a full ten hours until the disaster ends.

Without effective measures to prevent the district's population from continuing to decline, staying within the top 100 would be nothing but a dream.

But now, everything that needed to be done has been done; he has already donated most of the basic supplies, and everyone willing to donate supplies has already done so.

The remaining people either are unwilling to donate or want to donate but lack the ability.

It's also impossible to go out searching for supplies in the middle of the night.

Unless there is a new variable, otherwise it's likely difficult to stay within the top 100!

After doing so much, is it still useless?

Lin Yifan reached up and scratched his head, his face involuntarily showing annoyance.

But then he suddenly remembered something!

Others cannot go out at night, but that doesn't mean he can't!

He has the 【Light-illuminating Stone】 that can dispel mist at night, and also the 【Pure Spirit Flower】 that lets him keep his composure amidst the eerie whispers.

With these two items, he is fully capable of walking at night.

Of course, although this ensures he can walk at night, nighttime is not only dangerous because of these two things; there are also beast ambushes.

However, he had already observed that near the shelter, only small beasts are currently active.

The largest beast is the wild wolf he encountered during his previous night stay in the wilderness.

With his current physique, he no longer needs to fear wild wolf attacks.

So he can completely go out in the dark to chop wood and find stones.

However, his current melee weapon is only an ordinary-grade new axe; it's fine against ordinary beasts, but if luck is bad and he encounters a large beast, this won't be enough.

Specifically, although an ordinary-grade axe chops wood faster than a broken one, it's actually quite limited.

Therefore, he still needs to figure out how to get a higher-grade axe!

As for melee weapons, Lin Yifan suddenly recalled that he had exchanged with the Sexy Little Wildcat for a 【Black Iron Grade Hundred-forged Sword Blueprint】.

The Black Iron Knight's sword is definitely better than an ordinary-grade one!

However, crafting a Black Iron Grade Hundred-forged Sword requires ten Mid-Extreme Iron Blocks and one Fire Attribute Spirit Crystal.

He does have a Fire Attribute Spirit Crystal on hand, but previously he lacked intermediate iron blocks, so he temporarily put the sword-forging ritual aside.

Later, although he gathered enough materials, he forgot about it because he kept busy.

Now he can first craft this Hundred-Tempered Sword for self-defense or chopping wood; it's definitely better than that axe.

Lin Yifan didn't delay; after studying the blueprint, he immediately began crafting.

【Black Iron Grade Hundred-forged Sword】 (craftable)

Required materials:

Fire Spirit Essence 1/1

Intermediate Iron Block 30/10

(Materials ready, craft?)

Lin Yifan decisively chose "Yes" with his intention.

At the moment he made the choice, the iron blocks and Fire Spirit Crystal before him moved without wind, slowly flying up from the ground into midair.

Simultaneously, a transparent figure appeared before him, humanoid in shape but only about one meter tall.

In the transparent figure's hand hung a transparent hammer holding items.

After the figure appeared, it began swinging the transparent large hammer at the intermediate iron block and Fire Spirit Crystal.

Then, on the intermediate iron block and Fire Spirit Crystal, a burst of fire mixed with lightning appeared.

Soon, the Mid-Extreme Iron Block and Fire Spirit Crystal rapidly melted into a mass, a transparent liquid with metallic luster.

Next, the transparent figure put down the hammer in its hand, then pinched that mass of transparent liquid and quickly pulled and kneaded it with both hands.

The liquid in the transparent figure's hands quickly began to change shape; in the blink of an eye, it was kneaded into a blade shape.

As the blade shape was completed, the transparent figure stepped back two steps, then Lin Yifan saw the transparent figure seem to puff its cheeks and blow a breath onto the blade.

Instantly, a scorching flame burst out; Lin Yifan couldn't dodge in time, and a few strands of his hair were singed by the flame.

Lin Yifan stared in shock at the flame that appeared out of nowhere, his face full of disbelief.

"Does it have to be this fantastical?"

A transparent person can actually spit out real fire?

This completely overturns Lin Yifan's understanding of science!

However, when the flame began to burn the transparent liquid that had been kneaded into a long blade, the long blade started to change color inch by inch.

Soon, a black long blade flashing with metallic luster appeared before him.

And that transparent figure walked up to Lin Yifan and reached out a hand.

"You... are asking me for something?"

Lin Yifan froze for a moment, then asked somewhat hesitantly.

That transparent figure actually nodded.

Lin Yifan's eyes almost popped out; he never expected that this transparent being actually wanted something.

"But, after all, it was made by someone else!"

After hesitating a moment, he pointed at the crocodile meat and asked:

"Do you want crocodile meat?"

The transparent being turned its head to look at the crocodile meat, as if hesitating a moment before nodding slightly,

"I'll take the crocodile meat!"

Lin Yifan let out a sigh of relief; right now, the thing he lacks least is crocodile meat!

He generously cut off about ten jin of crocodile meat and then handed it to the transparent being.

After the transparent being took the meat, it immediately started jumping in place, as if very happy.

Lin Yifan didn't know how to respond, but he was genuinely curious about where this transparent being came from, so he asked:

"Um... Master Forge, hello. I don't know where you come from? Why is your body transparent?"

However, the transparent being gave him no response at all; as soon as he finished his question, the transparent being vanished instantly.

Along with its disappearance, that piece of crocodile meat disappeared too!
