Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

Chen An opened the door.

Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi immediately went outside, aimed at the smiling faces rushing towards the boy, and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Arrows were shot out one after another.

The three smiling faces were instantly destroyed, turning into gold coins that fell to the ground.

But their attack also attracted the attention of the other laughing demons, and their crossbows were also out of arrows.

So the two women retreated back to their room without hesitation.

The boy who was hit did not die.

A layer of golden light shone on his body, seemingly protecting him from most of the damage. So, after killing a Smiling Nightmare, he scrambled back to his room.

But his room only had a second-level door.

The laughing demons showed no sign of leaving and were continuing their frenzied collisions.

Although the door is being repaired constantly, it doesn't look like it will last much longer.

"Let's take this opportunity to continue the hunt."

Chen An immediately transferred fifty repeating crossbows to Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi's backpacks so they could easily switch between them.

The two women glanced at the surveillance footage, locked onto their next target, and then went out to hunt.

With each pull and kill of monsters.

Their mindset and shooting experience are growing rapidly.

"That's good, it's a good thing to grow."

Chen An looked at the increasingly skilled movements of the two women on the surveillance footage with a satisfied expression.

He also wanted to kill monsters.

But I also feel it's a bit dangerous to go out.

Although the risk is probably only around 5%, or even less than 5%.

But that's still not enough!

He doesn't have the dual-control talent, so his agility will be much slower than Lin Luxi and Wang Ziyan's. It would be dangerous if he couldn't get into the room.

Even falling on flat ground can be dangerous.

Hmm, I'd better not take the risk!

Once you find life-saving equipment or improve your attributes, then you can focus on increasing your combat experience!

Thinking this to myself.

Chen An looked at the surveillance footage.

After Lin Luxi killed another Smiling Nightmare, a blueprint actually dropped.

"Finally, the blueprints are out!"

Blueprints are more valuable than gold coins.

But Lin Luxi didn't have time to pick them up, because other smiles were gathering around.

"call……"

The two women retreated back into the room, slightly out of breath.

Their physical strength had dropped by more than forty points, and they were a bit tired.

The back-and-forth pulling and tugging, while carrying a crossbow weighing over ten kilograms, required a considerable amount of physical exertion.

"Drink some water first, and rest for a while."

Chen An took two bottles of water out of his backpack and handed them to Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi.

"Thanks."

The two women took the bottled water and drank it.

Sitting on the bed also increases the speed of physical recovery.

However, it's still a bit too slow.

Chen An remembered that he had a blueprint for a mermaid figurine, which seemed to be able to speed up the recovery of physical strength.

He rummaged through the pots and pans on the table and found the blueprints.

Mermaid figurine pattern

[Effect: Increases the room's stamina recovery by 3 per hour]

【Requirements for use: 10 Gold Cars】

[Conditions for use have been met. Proceed with construction?]

【whether】

Chen An clicked "Yes" directly.

He previously thought this blueprint was useless.

But now that he sees how slowly Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi are recovering their stamina, which is affecting their battle, he realizes that it's not entirely useless.

Because the effects of these ornaments and furniture can be combined!

The round bed restores 25 stamina points per hour, and the mermaid ornament restores 3 stamina points per hour, for a total of 28 stamina points.

The longer the time, the stronger the cumulative effect!

Moreover, since there are mermaid figurines, there might be other figurines with special effects as well.

If you put a bunch of decorations there, maybe you can recover 100 stamina points in an hour!

A flash of white light appeared.

An exquisite ornament, about the size of an adult's forearm, appeared on the table.

The upper body of the ornament is a woman with delicate features and long, slightly wavy hair, while the lower body is a fish tail, set in a transparent base.

The ornaments look lifelike.

Chen An stared, his eyes wide with amazement.

Of course, it's not that I'm aroused by the ornaments.

Instead, he discovered that this ornament could actually be upgraded!

Mermaid Figurine

[Level: lv1]

[Effect: When placed in a room, it restores 3 stamina per hour]

[Not decomposable]

Upgrade Requirement: 15 Gold Coins

[Introduction: Fish can help their owners last slightly longer]

[Materials required. Continue the upgrade?]

【whether】

"This little ornament can actually be upgraded? I thought things built with blueprints couldn't be upgraded..."

Chen An seemed to be deep in thought.

Or perhaps this mermaid figurine is special, which is why it can be upgraded?

Seeing that the upgrade requirements were not high, Chen An thought for a moment.

Promoted!

As long as they can speed up their stamina recovery, Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi can kill more monsters and earn more rewards.

Therefore, earning less interest from gold coins is not a loss.

Moreover, the effect of restoring stamina is not only useful now.

It will definitely come in handy later when we go out to grab airdrops, explore outside the neighborhood, grind monsters tomorrow, and even fight the boss the day after tomorrow!

If my physical strength recovers too slowly, I won't have time to do so many things.

【00: 29】

【00: 28】

……

【00: 02】

【00: 01】

The 30-second upgrade countdown ended, and white light enveloped the mermaid figurine.

Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi, who were recovering their strength, looked over curiously.

When the light fades.

The mermaid figurine doesn't seem to have changed much.

Mermaid Figurine

[Level: lv2]

[Effect: When placed in a room, it restores 9 stamina per hour]

[Not decomposable]

Upgrade Requirement: 25 Gold Coins

[Introduction: Fish can help their owners last longer!]

[Materials required. Continue the upgrade?]

【whether】

The speed of physical recovery has doubled.

The next upgrade requirement is still gold coins.

"What a little money-devouring beast."

Chen An thought for a moment, then decided to continue clicking to upgrade.

Since you've already been promoted, let's promote you to the top level right away.

Anyway, he doesn't lack gold coins.

Chen An already has 631 gold coins in his backpack.

Moreover, Jiang Lai is still selling crossbows, so the amount of gold coins will only increase.

Breaking 1,000 today is not a problem.

Gold coins are meant to improve your strength; if you hold onto them and don't upgrade just to earn interest, you'll actually lose out.

After Chen An upgraded the mermaid ornament to level three, its stamina recovery effect became stronger, and its size also increased slightly.

[lv3]

[Effect: When placed in a room, it restores 20 stamina per hour]

Upgrade Requirement: 50 Gold Coins

[Materials required. Continue the upgrade?]

【whether】

"yes!"

Chen An did not hesitate.

Money is worthless, you can always earn more after you've spent it!

After another five minutes of waiting.

The mermaid figurine has been upgraded once again.

His appearance hasn't changed much, except that he's gotten a bit bigger.

Then the effect increased dramatically.

Mermaid Figurine

[Level: lv4]

[Effect: When placed in a room, it restores 50 stamina per hour]

[Not decomposable]

Upgrade Requirements: 60 Gold Coins, 1 Green Runestones

[Introduction: This fish can now make its owner last incredibly long!]

[Materials required. Continue the upgrade?]

【whether】

"A green runestone?"

Chen An raised an eyebrow.

He happens to have it.
