Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 638 Blood Crystal Tower, Blood Altar, and New Resource Points. (5200)

With that in mind, Cao Xing immediately opened the blueprint interface.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he replaced all the blueprints that interested him.

[Would you like to spend 100 million battle merits to exchange for the Blood Crystal Amplification Tower blueprint?]

[Would you like to spend 500 million battle merits to exchange for the Blood Demon Hatching Nest blueprint?]

[Would you like to spend 1000 million battle merits to exchange for the Blood Altar blueprint?]

[Would you like to spend 1000 million battle merits to exchange for the Blood Cannon crafting blueprint?]

...

Cao Xing clicked 'OK' on all four consecutive prompts.

In an instant, 2600 million battle merits were consumed.

However, compared to the speed at which he gained battle merits, this expenditure was nothing.

"Now, let's look at the properties of these drawings."

With anticipation, Cao Xing unfolded the properties of each blueprint.

[Blood Crystal Amplification Tower Construction Blueprint (High)]

...

...

...

[Blood Cannon Manufacturing Blueprint]

[Quality: Epic]

[Blueprint Description: This blueprint can be used to craft the powerful Blood Cannon at the blacksmith's shop in your territory.]

Maximum range: 4500 meters

[Crafting Requirements: Master-level Blacksmithing Proficiency, 20 Blood Crystals, 2 Refined Iron, 1000 Mithril, 200 Master-level Elemental Crystals]

...

...

After reviewing the properties of the four blueprints, Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise.

"Huh? The attributes of these four blueprints all seem pretty good!"

"Although this Blood Crystal Amplification Tower is the cheapest, it is the most important building for me among these four blueprints."

"It can increase the attack power of all arrow towers by 20% and inflict a bleeding effect, which can significantly improve the defense of the territory!"

In addition, the other [Blood Demon Hatching Nest] and [Blood Altar] are also very interesting.

The former can even mass-produce a large number of sixth-tier blood demons simply by injecting blood, and it has no requirements on the race of the blood.

The latter's [Blood Altar] can summon vampire creatures of different grades depending on the strength of the sacrificed corpse, and can even summon beings like vampire dukes!

"However... the functions of the Blood Altar and Hilda's abilities seem to overlap somewhat."

"After all, Hilda also needs a large number of powerful corpses to hatch blood spiders."

"We can only wait until there are extra corpses to use as sacrifices to the 'Blood Altar'."

Cao Xing silently made up his mind.

As for the last blueprint: the [Blood Cannon] is equally powerful, with its attack power in no way inferior to the [Neros Cannon], and it also comes with abnormal effects.

Most importantly, this thing doesn't need to be loaded with ammunition!
This alone makes it far superior to the Neros artillery!
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. My territory has enough resources to build these buildings."

With that in mind, he immediately clicked to learn all four drawings.

After doing all that, Cao Xing quickly finished his breakfast.

Then he pushed open the gates of the lord's castle.

Just as he was about to call Duan over and have him build the new buildings, he saw a figure standing at the door.

She wore a black bodysuit that accentuated her slender and graceful figure, and exuded a cold aura.

The other party seemed to have been waiting there for some time.

However, upon seeing this figure, Cao Xing felt somewhat unfamiliar with him.

"you are?"

Cao Xing only recognized her after she slowly raised her head.

With a hint of surprise on her face, she asked, "Um...you're Sabina?"

"Yes, Lord."

Her voice was low and gentle as she respectfully said, "After I became a Shadow Assassin, I became like this..."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Not bad, it suits you quite well."

Upon hearing this, Sabina lowered her head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Just then, as if she had remembered something, she quickly said, "By the way, my lord, I have something to report to you."

"I have already scouted the place you asked me to go to yesterday."

“That place is a special forest. In the center of the forest, I found a large grove of red oak trees, dozens of them!” Sabina’s tone was filled with excitement.

"Oh? What is a Red Gold Oak?"

【Shining Throne】 will randomly search for valuable resource points, including not only mineral resources but also wood resources.

So it's not surprising that such novel resources can be found.

Sabina explained, "The Crimson Oak is an extremely precious magical plant."

"It has an overall reddish-gold color and a very beautiful appearance."

"Moreover, the wood processed from the red oak is extremely hard. When used to forge weapons and armor, it not only improves portability but also increases hardness and durability."

"If it is used to build houses, it can greatly improve the sturdiness of the houses."

"Legend has it that buildings made of red gold oak will not decay even after ten thousand years."

"In addition, a variety of substances called [Crimson Gold Essence] can be extracted from the bark and leaves of this oak tree. Combined with some other materials, it can be used to make epic-quality potions."

"It can significantly increase the damage dealt by weapons!"

A look of realization dawned on Cao Xing's eyes.

As a physician, Sabina also possesses expert-level toxicology skills, giving her a good understanding of some plants.

According to her explanation, this 'red gold oak' is really valuable!

Almost every part of it is valuable!
If they could all be transplanted to their own territory and planted, even if they weren't used for timber, they would be a good choice as ornamental trees.

Cao Xing pondered, "However, digging up these red-gold oak trees and transplanting them into my territory would be a huge undertaking."

"After all, my 'Giant Vine' can only be used in my own territory."

“Those plants outside can only be dug up by hand.”

"This task... can be assigned to Dazhuang. Let him lead a few large mining robots, and he should be able to get it done quickly."

"But the round trip of more than 600 kilometers is also a problem."

"So, in addition to those excavating robots, we also need to call in a convoy."

With this in mind, Cao Xing silently made a decision.

At this moment, Sabina continued, "My lord, there is one more thing."

Cao Xing looked up. "Go on," he said. Sabina replied, "There are usually powerful monsters guarding precious magical plants like the Crimson Oak."

"I also encountered this kind of guardian beast this time; it was an ancient tree spirit."

"After a fierce battle, I successfully killed it. Here are the loot; please take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, a deep red crystal and a green heart appeared in her hand.

Especially the heart at the back, which is still pounding, as if it contains a powerful life force!

A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Because this heart looks similar to the century-old tree heart he obtained from the 'points wheel' before.

He solemnly accepted everything from Sabina's hands.

[Received: Hero's Heart *1]

[Obtained: Blood of the Strong *1]

[Obtained: Heart of the Treant (Orange)]

[Obtained: 75 Wraith Crystals]

[Received: Master-level Elemental Crystal *169]

...

"Wow! Not only does it have an epic-quality heart, but it also has a hero's heart?"

"What level of tree spirit did Sabina kill?"

With a look of doubt, Cao Xing quickly scrolled through the battle information.

[Your territory member: Sabina has killed a level 84 Wraith Tree Spirit (boss-level creature), gaining 672000 * 4500% = 3326400 experience points for defeating a monster of a higher level]

[Combat personnel gained 346000 experience points]

……

"Holy crap... it's actually an 84th-level boss tree spirit? That's outrageous!"

Keep in mind that Sabina is only a level 30 elite creature; against an enemy like her, she would usually die in a single encounter.

As a result of a series of powerful blessings, she directly skipped nearly fifty levels in monster killing, and her experience boost multiplier reached an astonishing forty-five times!
Even Cao Xing was somewhat amazed, it was just too abnormal!

After his initial surprise, a look of joy gradually appeared on his face.

"Perfect timing! I was just wondering where to get a Hero's Heart, and Sabina found one for me right away!"

"This woman is performing well; we can invest some resources to train her."

After glancing at Sabina's level, I immediately boosted her level to the maximum of 40 after defeating the powerful tree spirit.

Cao Xing waved his hand and exchanged for an [Expert-level Heart of Power] in the Dragon Shop, then handed it to her.

"Sabina, this is your reward."

The woman looked at the Heart of Power in his hand, and a look of longing gradually appeared in her eyes.

She accepted it solemnly, and then said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sabina crushed the crystal and entered a breakthrough state.

I have no thoughts about giving up a "Hero's Heart" in exchange for only an "Expert-level Power Heart".

After all, Sabina knew perfectly well that she owed everything she had to the man in front of her.

If Cao Xing hadn't taken her in and given her strength...

Forget about crushing a ninth-tier leader, she's currently a fugitive wanted by nobles and living a life of wandering.

While Sabina was breaking through, Cao Xing took a look at the attributes of the other Tree Spirit Heart he had just acquired.

【Heart of the Treant (Orange)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Item Effect 1: The heart of a tree spirit that has lived for over a thousand years contains extremely strong life force, which can accelerate the growth of any magical plant by 100 years.]

[Item Effect 2: Upon consumption, it immediately increases maximum health by 10 points and adds 20 years to lifespan.]

……

"20 years of lifespan? This effect is comparable to a legendary blood core, which is quite impressive."

Cao Xing decided to keep the 'Tree Demon Heart' for the time being.

After all, the Ice Crystal King and the Lizardman Chieftain had already absorbed five 'Legendary Blood Cores,' increasing their lifespan by over a hundred years, which should be enough to handle the upcoming battles.

He also needed to find a way to accelerate the growth of the pale tree in his territory.

"After the Pale Tree grows for a thousand years, it will not only increase the monster-killing experience by 100%, but may also awaken the spirit of the sacred tree."

"And once the spirit of the sacred tree is awakened, this pale tree can even regrow into the omniscient and omnipotent pale sacred tree."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

As he was thinking about these things, Sabina's breakthrough was nearing its end.

Her breakthrough was also very smooth.

As a shadowy aura spread, a system notification appeared.

[Your territory member: Sabina has successfully broken through to a Tier 5 Elite creature, with base attributes increased by 100% and health increased by an additional 50%...]

……

"call……"

Sabina took a deep breath, seemingly adjusting to the surge of power within her.

Looking at Cao Xing, gratitude reappeared in his eyes.

"I have successfully broken through to the fifth rank. Thank you for your care, Lord."

Cao Xing waved his hand and chuckled, "It's nothing. You go and rest first. I'll give you other tasks later."

"Yes!"

After saying that, Sabina entered 'Shadow Stealth' mode and disappeared silently from the spot.

At the same time, Cao Xing called Du An and Da Zhuang over together.

The two polar people walked side by side, their faces beaming with happy smiles, and they chatted from time to time.

They also have a good relationship in private.

The two approached Cao Xing and bowed respectfully, saying, "Lord, may you be well."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then looked at Du An beside him and instructed, "Recently, I have obtained a new batch of blueprints, which I need you to build."

"Prioritize building the Blood Crystal Amplification Tower, and then build the Blood Demon Hatchery and Blood Altar."

"Of course, the progress of the lord's castle cannot be neglected. If there are not enough people, we can bring back a batch of polar people who are out gathering resources."

Duan wrote down each of the tasks he was given, then respectfully said, "I guarantee to complete the tasks, my lord!"

After saying that, he quickly turned around and went to make arrangements for the staff.

Cao Xing then looked at Da Zhuang, the polar man in front of him.

"Next, you also have a task to complete."

"Take twenty transport vehicles and two large excavating robots and head to a forest area beyond the blizzard plains."

“Deep in that forest, there are many red-gold oak trees, and I need to transport all of them back to my territory.”

"Please try to avoid damage on the road. Is there any problem?"

Hearing this, Dazhuang scratched his head and said somewhat shyly, "Lord... with these iron lumps here, digging up the Crimson Oak shouldn't be a problem."

"However... if we transport these oak trees by truck, some unexpected situations may arise."

"The terrain of the blizzard plains is too complex, and there are many deep pits covered by snow. If you are not careful, the transport vehicle will get stuck."

Cao Xing frowned slightly.

Dazhuang is right.

After all, this is a transport journey of over 600 kilometers, and with the addition of moving such a large plant as the Red Oak, unexpected situations are bound to occur along the way.

At this moment, the polar man Dazhuang seemed to have noticed Cao Xing's concerns and tentatively suggested, "How about... you transfer a few goblin airships to me?"

“Once we dig out the Crimson Oak, we can use those ‘tough vines’ to tie both ends together, and then we can lift it up using two goblin airships.”

"This way, we can ensure that these oak trees are transported back to the territory without any problems."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea.

With a slight smile, he said, "Not bad, Dazhuang. You've actually learned to use your brain. It seems you've made quite a bit of progress lately."

The polar man scratched his head sheepishly and said, "It's all thanks to the Lord's usual training and guidance that I was able to come up with these ideas."

"Since you helped us advance our rank, I feel like my mind has become sharper."

Cao Xing nodded, understanding dawning on his mind.

Every advancement of the beings in this world is a transformation in their level of life.

After all, a 100% increase in all attributes includes not only strength, agility, and constitution, but also an enhancement of mental strength.

So it's not surprising that Dazhuang has transformed from a polar person who only knew how to work into someone with normal human thinking and logic.

Cao Xing said approvingly, "Very good. From now on, all thirty-two goblin airships in the territory will be yours to take with you."

"Just go directly to Cao Yi to arrange how many people you need."

“Now let’s get started.”

"Yes, my lord!" Da Zhuang replied solemnly.

He then turned around and began to carry out the task assigned by Cao Xing.

"Rumble..."

Soon after, accompanied by a roar, the energy core of the goblin airships was activated, and dozens of goblin airships began to slowly fly into the high sky.

Cao Xing watched them leave, thinking to himself, "Very good, almost all the things that need to be arranged here in the territory have been arranged."

"Next, we can directly upgrade Francesca to Hero level!"
