Chapter 7

Li Qingxuan hears panel prompt, heart surges joy.

He puts away iron spear, walks to black iron treasure chest, opens, panel prompts he obtained Tang Sword Blueprint, two cotton coats, one cotton pants, heart excited.

After storing blueprint and clothes, Li Qingxuan glances at time, sees still over two hours, decides to continue deeper forest, search more treasure chests and weird creatures.

He continues along river, along the way he found 5 wooden treasure chests, harvested 10 bread, 5 bottles mineral water, two spirit fruits and five candles, also encountered several ghouls. But he with iron spear and soul arrow easily killed them.

Along the way constantly encountering weird creature attacks, even iron-clad Li Qingxuan feels somewhat tired, so he finds a relatively safe place, sits to rest.

Li Qingxuan takes bread and water bottle from backpack, eats a few bites bread, drinks a sip filtered water, instantly feels fatigue lessen, then opens personal panel to view.

Seeing evaluation subtly change, Li Qingxuan mouth corners slightly lift, inwardly thinks: "Now constitution greatly increased, abilities also more comprehensive, in this weird world, finally have some capital to survive."

Li Qingxuan looks around, forest birds chirping insects singing, sunlight through leaves gaps casts dappled light and shadow, everything appears so tranquil and beautiful, "If there were no these weird creatures, the scenery here would also be excellent."

He stands up, pats dust off his body, sees time still less than two hours, decides to search treasure chests a bit more.

Along river, Li Qingxuan occasionally stops, observes surrounding vegetation and terrain, trying to discover treasure chests or hidden weird creatures.

Walked about half an hour, Li Qingxuan suddenly stops, gaze locked on a giant tree not far ahead.

That giant tree is about thirty to forty meters high, within fifty meters radius no other trees accompany, canopy like giant umbrella blocks sky, trunk huge and extremely thick, completely different from surrounding trees.

Beside giant tree placed a golden treasure chest, more surprising is that giant tree trunk hangs many branches, branches bind weird creatures.

Those weird creatures Li Qingxuan actually recognizes, they are the human-faced spiders and ghouls previously encountered, they now seem lifeless, like puppets hung on tree.

Li Qingxuan heart startled, inwardly says: "What divine being? Able to easily capture so many weird creatures."

He quickly checks weird encyclopedia.

【Weakness: Roots】

【Description: Tree grown in place of condensed resentment, by absorbing soul power strengthens itself, releases resentment to erode surrounding creatures' minds, thus control, and can temporarily pull out root system to walk】

At this moment, giant tree suddenly emits a thunder-like low roar, branches with attached weird creatures as if pulled by invisible threads, start to tremble.

Li Qingxuan pupils constrict, chill runs up spine to back of neck, she quickly turns to flee, looking back sees seven or eight ghouls and human-faced spiders swooping down from between branches, foul saliva dripping.

Li Qingxuan wrist turns, iron spear draws bright arc in air, spear tip precisely pierces ghoul's eye socket, dark green blood splatters.

However, these weird creatures' numbers are truly too many, Li Qingxuan somewhat unable to cope, pulls back stance and continuously condenses arrows, shoots at those weird creatures.

In Li Qingxuan's long-range hit-and-run tug-of-war process, seizing opportunity swings iron spear to kill them one by one.

When last human-faced spider under spear tip turns to minced meat, seeing giant tree stops agitation.

Li Qingxuan staggers to sit on ground, iron spear deeply inserted into soil, he holds spear shaft gasping violently, sweat drips from chin, while giant tree's branches still hang dozens of sleeping weird creatures.

Recording all corpses one by one into weird encyclopedia, panel prompts constitution +21, spirit +32

Li Qingxuan also does not plan to continue deeper, follows river back, after leaving giant tree Li Qingxuan takes break to open personal panel, view his attributes.

【Name: Li Qingxuan】

【Age: 24】

【Gender: Male】

【Constitution: 109】 (Adult average value is 10)

【Spirit: 64】 (Adult average value is 5)

【Occupation: Weird Master】

【Abilities: Weird Encyclopedia, Domination, Devour Evolution, Soul Arrow】

【Evaluation: A plain ordinary and somewhat handsome man, strength increase speed fast, but in this weird world still needs caution】

Seeing panel increased constitution and spirit values, Li Qingxuan mouth corners slightly raise, emits two hearty laughs, steps become lighter.

"These two days' hard work ultimately not in vain, strength compared to when first arrived has undergone qualitative leap, continue efforts, future promising." Li Qingxuan inwardly encourages.

Glancing at countdown only one hour left, he strides swiftly, heads to water purifier. En route, several wolves leisurely drink water by riverbank, everything calm, no danger encountered.

Returning to water purifier side, sees four wooden barrels already filled, Li Qingxuan fills water from one barrel into previously obtained 3 mineral water bottles, then uses barrel to refill water purifier, then puts water purifier and barrel into backpack, walks briskly along mountain towards wooden house.

Back at wooden house, Li Qingxuan quickly takes out water purifier and empty barrel, lets water purifier continue filtering clean water, simultaneously puts some filtered water onto trading center's shelf.

Looking at time, already near four, Li Qingxuan takes out Tang Sword Blueprint, blueprint notes materials needed to craft Tang Sword.

【Blueprint: Tang Sword】

【Construction Conditions: Manufacturing Table, Wood 1, Iron Block 5】

【Description: A sharp Tang Sword】

Li Qingxuan thinks he has zero unit iron block, so plans to try luck at trading center, opens panel discovers many people private chatting him, wanting to trade water purifier, items offered also satisfy him.

Li Qingxuan replied point by point, saying that there is only one water purifier and that he himself only needs the blueprints or a large amount of basic materials.

After some haggling, finally reached an agreement with a player, exchanged a water purifier and 50L water for the Bathroom Scroll, fifty Unit Iron Blocks, and twenty Unit Wood.

【Item: Bathroom Scroll】

【Effect: Configure (room count/2 + floor count/2) bathrooms for the Shelter, and connect water supply and drainage】

【Description: Can configure bathrooms for the Shelter according to the number of rooms】

Li Qingxuan felt a surge of joy; these materials were exactly what he urgently needed to craft a Tang Sword, and with the Bathroom Scroll, he no longer had to worry about being attacked by monsters when going out to relieve himself.

"As everyone knows, when a person is using the toilet, it is both the weakest moment of their combat power and the moment when their combat power is off the charts; I just don't know if those Weird Creatures are afraid of feces." Li Qingxuan muttered while walking toward the Manufacturing Table, "However, the Bathroom Scroll is not really suitable to use now; let's wait until the Shelter upgrades a few levels."

Li Qingxuan recorded the blueprint into the Manufacturing Table, then immediately used the materials to craft a Tang Sword.

As soon as the Tang Sword appeared in his hand, Li Qingxuan couldn't wait to draw it from its sheath and swing it a few times; he felt the blade light as a swallow and the edge extremely sharp, and he couldn't help silently praising the wisdom of his ancestors.

After using up all the remaining materials, Li Qingxuan crafted another nine Tang Swords. Subsequently, he hung these nine Tang Swords on the Trading Center, and in the remarks wrote: The trade items include wood, stone material, filter cotton, iron block, activated carbon, and plastic, with iron block given priority.

Afterwards, he screened the Trading Center and Li Qingxuan found several people selling iron blocks at a reasonable price. He quickly contacted the seller and successfully exchanged 50L water for 100 Unit Iron Blocks and 100 Unit Wood.

Returning to the Manufacturing Table, Li Qingxuan placed the iron blocks into the Manufacturing Table and crafted another twenty Tang Swords to hang on the Trading Center.
