I'm building Sun City in the eternal night!

Chapter 6: Forging the [Strange Fire]!

Outside the station, Feng Ning'er's shoulders suddenly twitched, and Chen Hui soared into the clouds.

Judging by her posture, this woman wants to make him fall flat on his face.

Fortunately, he was prepared. With two graceful flips in the air, he landed steadily on his feet, then smiled and clasped his hands in thanks to the woman.

"Thanks to Miss Ning'er for everything along the way."

Feng Ning'er's chest heaved, and her fair face flushed slightly.

They traveled eight hundred li, carrying a man on their backs, without stopping.

Even though she could manipulate the nearby wind to propel herself forward, greatly reducing her energy expenditure, she was still somewhat out of breath.

She wasn't a dramatic person to begin with, and at first she just thought it was normal for a young man to be so angry.

I didn't expect him to hold on for a whole day!

If she wasn't worried about not reaching their destination before dark, she would have definitely killed him halfway there!

She glared at Chen Hui with resentment.

Chen Hui was slightly embarrassed, but he pretended to be nonchalant.

He didn't want to either.

However, the Pure Yang Physique is just that powerful and domineering.

There was nothing he could do.

After straightening his clothes slightly, he began to look around the station.

It was called a station, but it was really just a campfire burning on the wasteland and a small wooden cabin.

There are at least a thousand, if not eight hundred, such stations on the front lines.

Sometimes it is also used as a supply station for passing travelers.

Therefore, there are still some ordinary supplies.

Feng Ning'er entered the small wooden house, seemingly wanting to fetch some water to replenish her strength.

Chen Hui stood outside the wooden house, examining the campfire.

The base is made of several stones, and at the center of the base is a crystal clear "mysterious stone".

Flames erupted from the [mysterious rock], illuminating an area with a diameter of 10 meters.

This is the Level 1 [Strange Fire] created by the architect.

The flames are fueled not by firewood, but by [mysterious stones].

Consuming one [Strange Stone] can keep you burning for a day. It can drive away darkness at night and also scare away some weak and strange monsters.

Chen Hui stared at the faint "ghost fire," his eyes suddenly narrowing dangerously.

Feng Ning'er came out of the wooden house and said to Chen Hui:

"Someone took all the supplies from the house. There's nothing there except a bed. Did you bring any extra food?"

Her face looked rather pale.

Knowing she would be traveling a long way today, she traveled light, without even bringing a bottle of water.

I wanted to resupply at the station, but some scoundrel took all the supplies, leaving nothing behind.

Now that it was getting dark, all they could hope for was that Chen Hui had brought some food.

Let's deal with this for now, and think of other solutions at other sites tomorrow.

Chen Hui didn't respond to Feng Ning'er's words, and said without turning his head:

"Those people not only took the food, but also destroyed the [Strange Fire]. It seems they don't want to give us a way out..."

"What?" Feng Ning'er was startled upon hearing this. With a "whoosh," she appeared in front of the Ghost Fire in an instant, staring intently at it.

A moment later, a look of anger appeared on her face.

She hadn't noticed before that there were several dents and cracks on the base of the [Strange Fire], clearly caused by hammering.

These cracks were extremely deep, and as the eerie fire burned, they spread out like a spider web.

The entire ball of red flame swayed precariously, flickering unpredictably, and would likely be extinguished within a short time.

"Damn it!!" Feng Ning'er slammed her fist into the ground, creating a crater.

"Which bastard is it? Don't let me catch him, or I'll kill him!"

After venting her emotions, Feng Ning'er stood up and took out an ordinary wooden torch from her backpack.

This is a torch created by the architect. It can be lit in the dark and has the same effect as the eerie fire, but with a smaller range and can be moved around.

However, it is a one-time consumable item, which can only last for 6 hours after being lit. Feng Ning'er bought it for 5 [Strange Stones], which she prepared for hunting in the dark.

Although she bought a lot, it almost emptied her savings, and each one was especially precious to her.

She glanced at Chen Hui and said:

"Six strange stones, and I can allow you to follow me."

She planned to light torches before nightfall and go hunting in the vicinity.

A torch lasts for 6 hours until dawn, requiring two torches to be used. She accepted 6 strange stones from the other party, which she considered fair.

Chen Hui was so angry he laughed, and couldn't help but retort:

"You go out in the rain with an umbrella, and I want to borrow it for a bit, and you want me to charge you?"

Feng Ning'er retorted:

"Rain won't kill you, but being exposed to eternal night will turn you into a monster out of control. You can use an umbrella and then reuse it, but my torch is gone once it's used up. How can they be the same?"

"You don't expect to get it for free, do you? Or do you also have a [Torch]?"

Feng Ning'er looked down at Chen Hui, who was still squatting, a hint of smugness in her eyes.

She didn't think a poor boy like Chen Hui from the outer city would be willing to buy a torch worth 5 strange stones.

Even if the other party is an architect, as the saying goes, "Those adorned in silk robes are not the ones who raise silkworms."

She was in a good mood because she could save 6 Mystic Stones tonight.

At that moment, with a "crack!" sound, the chassis of [Strange Fire] finally shattered.

The burning flame went out with a "poof!"

The site, now devoid of the [Strange Fire]'s illumination, quickly dimmed.

As dusk settled, Feng Ning'er's chest began to pound violently for no apparent reason. A strange restlessness and an extreme sense of danger welled up within her, and she couldn't help but let out a sharp cry:

"What are you still hesitating for? Do you value money more than your life?"

Having said that, she was ready to light the torch in her hand.

As for Chen Hui, she would slowly negotiate with the other party; she didn't believe that this guy would really dare to expose himself in the dark.

"Miss Ning'er, now that this [Strange Fire] has gone out, if I rebuild it, it will be my private property. If you want to use it, won't I have to charge you?"

Chen Hui suddenly blurted out this sentence, and Feng Ning'er was stunned for a moment before subconsciously retorting:

"Why should I be charged? Don't you use it either? Why should I be charged just for using it?!"

After saying that, she realized something was wrong, and her face turned somewhat pale as she said:

"I'll only cover the material costs for crafting the [Strange Fire], and we'll split the rest of the expenses 50/50."

"Deal!" Chen Hui made the decision on the spot and extended his hand to Feng Ning'er:

"Give it to me!"

"What did you bring?" Feng Ning'er was somewhat confused, but then she understood the other party's intention and coldly rebuked:

"You want to start building right now? No way! I lit the torch to go hunting nearby, not to serve you in driving piles!"

【Strange Fire】is even harder to craft than 【Beast Trap】.

A typical D-level or E-level architect would need 3 hours to complete the project.

No matter how skilled you are, it will still take at least two hours.

Moreover, the other party is an F-level blank architect, who knows, it might take half a night.

She didn't have time or the strange stone to waste here with the other party.

"What if I could create it in a minute?"
