I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 47 "The flower that Brother Lame Monkey planted has bloomed!"

After the elders left.

Chen, the head of the Chen family, sat alone in the council hall. In just a few days, he had aged considerably, his temples were gray and his eyes were tired, but his spine was still as straight as a lion's.

decades ago.

He met Chen Fan's mother, a level 4 architect who was unemployed, while traveling.

At that time, the Chen family's original architect had died of old age, and the Chen family was in a predicament of having no architect. He immediately launched a fervent pursuit, married her and brought her back to the Chen family, and they had a son named Chen Fan.

He cherished her dearly after their marriage.

I never dare to be negligent.

However, he died young after a serious illness.

The Chen family was once again in dire straits due to a lack of architects. At this time, the Pingtian Chamber of Commerce was willing to marry their daughter to him, with a dowry of a Level 5 architect. He knew what the Pingtian Chamber of Commerce was thinking.

Although the Pingtian Chamber of Commerce has architects, having architects does not guarantee the development of a powerful force.

He had his eye on the other party's architect.

The other party had their eye on his Chen family.

He knew he couldn't outmaneuver his opponent. He could destroy the Pingtian Chamber of Commerce at any time once he found a new architect. In the past ten years of confrontation, he hadn't had time to deal with Chen Fan. His main task was to develop the Chen family, not to be a kind father.

Until
Chen Fan was sent to the wasteland and became an architect.

This makes his efforts over the years seem rather absurd.

It even made him doubt himself at one point.

But he managed to adjust.

If Chen Fan survives the rainy season, he will personally go to find Chen Fan and have a long talk with him all night. If the other party is willing to wholeheartedly serve the Chen family, he can immediately destroy the Pingtian Chamber of Commerce and fully assist Chen Fan.

However, if the other party harbors resentment due to his neglect over the years and is unwilling to return to the Chen family.

This potential hazard needs to be nipped in the bud as soon as possible.

"."

There were no outsiders in the council chamber at this time, but he still refused to bend his straight back.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong.

He was just...
Just bad luck.

Inside the Chen residence.

After the elders left the council hall, they exchanged glances before the First Elder spoke first in a hoarse voice: "The patriarch is getting old. The Chen family needs a new leader for the future. If Chen Fan can survive this rainy season, I think we should welcome him back to be the patriarch."

"can."

The elders didn't offer much advice, only nodding slightly in the rain.

No one mentioned Chen Quan.

In terms of bloodline, Chen Fan is the eldest son of the Chen family.

In terms of strength, if Chen Fan can survive the rainy season, he will be several times stronger than Chen Quan, who relies on his maternal family.

In terms of temperament, he endured for many years and then escaped his predicament when the rain came. Chen Quan's childlike scheming was incomparable.

As long as Chen Fan can really survive the rainy season.

And willing to preside over the Chen family.

Centuries ago, the eternal night invaded.

The world has undergone many earth-shattering changes.

These changes have transformed the world.

People have even forgotten what this continent was originally called, only knowing that it is now called "Eternal Night Continent".

Its daybreak.

As the eternal night faded, another night passed.

"."

Standing on the city wall, Chen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was no strange tide last night, only dozens of strange creatures occasionally rushing into the camp, leaving behind strange stones and corpses.

dawn.

As usual, he began to take stock of the camp's assets.

But when he passed by the "Strange Fire," he was slightly taken aback. Why were there only 45 Strange Stones inside? He had clearly replenished it to 50 yesterday. Normally, maintaining the Strange Fire would consume one stone last night, and the arrow towers hadn't been activated much, so it couldn't have consumed 4 Strange Stones. Moreover, the second upgrade of the Strange Fire would reduce the attack consumption of defensive buildings.

After a while.

He then realized what was happening.

It should be that 10,000-meter road.

Yesterday, he laid a 10,000-meter road in the wilderness using copper pipes, intending to use it as a highway after the rainy season, serving as a hub connecting Jiangbei City and Pingcheng City. The eerie fire could flow inside the copper pipes, creating a safe zone within one meter of the pipes.

The ghostly fire flowed back and forth over such a long distance, accelerating the consumption of the ghostly stone.

Once this is clear...

He immediately cut off the camp from the road.

The copper pipes are currently only being laid and are not yet ready for use, so consuming the strange stones would be a waste.

There weren't many ghosts last night.

The few remaining strange creatures fled into the camp as if their lives depended on it, suggesting that the wasteland must have been quite unsettled last night.

The edge of the camp.

"be careful on the road."

Chen Fan stood outside the camp, looking at Zhou Mo, who was driving a tricycle, and a young boy. This boy had originally followed Wang Mazi, but now he had arranged for him to follow Zhou Mo.

The performance of the tricycle has been tested.

It won't collapse.

The Arrow Keep, upgraded to level 4, is significantly lighter than the Arrow Tower. It can be placed on a tricycle along with the Wraithfire. Although this will reduce the speed to some extent, it won't have a major impact.

We can now travel to more distant abandoned sites and bring back resources from those sites.

"it is good."

Zhou Mo nodded resolutely, without his usual excitement. His brother's death yesterday made him realize that even during the day, the wilderness in the rainy season is not absolutely safe.

After seeing Zhou Mo off.

Chen Fan glanced at the busy crowd around him and prepared to go back to the cabin to sleep.

at this time--

"Webmaster!"

Suddenly, Qi Chong's loud shout came from beside the farmland: "It's blooming! The flower that Brother Lame Monkey planted has bloomed!"

"Oh?"

Chen Fan was slightly taken aback, then immediately remembered the matter, and smiled as he walked towards the farmland to take a look at the flower.

When this farmland was developed.

The lame monkey once went out of the house, took out a seed, and planted it in the farmland. Later, the seed actually sprouted and grew into a flower bud. He even built a simple little wooden house for that flower bud.

"pretty."

Chen Fan stood smiling beside the farmland, looking at the flower that had sprouted from the soil in the corner of the field. Its stem was crystal clear and jade white, and its petals, like those of a peony, were bright red, as if dyed.

but.
His smile quickly froze.

How did he see a panel next to the flower?
-
"Name of the rare treasure": Human Blood Flower.

"Rare Treasure Grade": Green.

"Exotic Treasure Effect": It is now mature and can be used as a special forging material.
-
After a long silence, he silently took out a ghost skin from his pocket. It was dropped by the female ghost after she died. On the panel of this ghost skin, which had no words, a sentence was clearly displayed: "It needs to be watered with 'human blood ghost flower' to appear."

He had no idea where to find the Blood Flower.

I never imagined that something so far away would be so close at hand.

But if the seed that the lame monkey picked up was a "seed-type rare treasure", why didn't it appear on the panel when he saw it?
"Stationmaster."

Qi Chong said with some interest, "I've never seen this kind of flower before. It looks like a rare and precious flower. Maybe after the rainy season, I can go to the Jiangbei market to exchange it for some strange stones. After all, it looks quite unusual."

“It’s really unusual.”

Chen Fan paused for a moment and then laughed: "Give the lame monkey an extra chicken leg when we eat later."

"You should add one too."
