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

Lin Luxi had previously revealed a green rune stone.

Chen An originally intended to keep it to see if he could trade it for red runestones to upgrade the door later.

I didn't expect to be able to use it so soon.

"Upgrading the door from level 4 to level 5 requires blueprints, and the mermaid ornament requires adding runes. It seems that going from level 4 to level 5 is a pretty big upgrade?"

Chen An seemed to be deep in thought.

I wonder if windows and other upgradeable items follow the same upgrade logic?

While thinking about it, Chen An had already clicked to upgrade.

Since the green runes are not needed for the time being and just take up space, it's better to convert them into strength directly.

Let's see what's going on with this level 5 mermaid figurine!

We've already spent almost 100 gold coins, it would be a huge loss to stop here.

This time, the upgrade speed is 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, seeing that the two women had recovered some of their strength, Chen An let them continue to fight monsters.

I just spent so many gold coins, I need to earn them back as soon as possible!

Ten minutes passed quickly.

The mermaid figurine is enveloped in white light.

This time, the white light was very intense and covered a large area.

When the white light disappears.

The mermaid figurine, which was originally only the size of an adult's arm, has been enlarged to nearly three times its original size, now about the size of a child.

Her appearance seemed even more vibrant, as if she were coming to life.

Moreover, she now has something that looks like a staff in her hand, completely changing her appearance.

Chen An clicked to view the details.

Mermaid Figurine

[Level: lv5]

[Effect: When placed in a room, it restores 70 stamina per hour and increases the recovery speed of injuries and illnesses by 10%]

[Not decomposable]

Upgrade Requirements: 100 Gold Coins, 1 Green Runestones

[Introduction: Fish can help their owners last longer and also help them heal injuries]

"A 10% increase in the recovery speed from injuries and illnesses? That's pretty good!"

Chen An's eyes lit up.

He immediately felt that this upgrade was well worth it!

Because he currently has no means of treatment, if he gets injured or sick, he can only tough it out.

But this ornament can speed up the recovery process, which is like taking extra medicine, right?

It's absolutely fantastic!

Moreover, stamina recovers 70 points per hour!

With the 25 points from the round bed, you can recover 95 stamina points in just one hour!

Outrageous!

This battery life is top-notch!

"It's a pity we're out of green runes, otherwise we could have tried upgrading it further."

Chen An smacked his lips.

He felt that as long as he continued to add runes, the speed of injury recovery could be increased.

What would happen if the recovery speed were increased to 100%?

Was the injury healed instantly, or is there some other explanation?

However, he felt it couldn't be that he could be cured instantly, otherwise it would be too outrageous.

But I imagine that 100% effectiveness would be quite good.

After all, at present, the investment and return for the upgrade are proportional.

The more you invest, the greater the return!

Just then.

The mixed notification sound, indistinguishable between male and female, suddenly rang out.

Random airdrop packages are now being distributed.

[Deployment Location: Any open space within the residential community]

[Number of units deployed: 100]

[Deployment Time: 00:59:59]

[Hint: Random gift packs may contain food, rare resources, high-level weapons, high-level armor, one-time-use items, gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, skill books, etc.]

"Huh? A skill book?!"

Chen An's spirits lifted instantly.

There are skill books?

Is it like in online games, where you can gain multiple skills after learning it?

That's outrageous!

"Grab the gift pack! You absolutely have to grab this one!"

After hearing the instructions, Jiang Lai immediately looked at Chen An, her tone somewhat excited.

She immediately understood the value of the skill book.

Neither she nor Chen An possessed offensive talents, so they had virtually no combat ability.

If they can learn an offensive skill, then they will have combat power and the ability to protect themselves!

Even if you don't get a skill book, getting a high-level weapon or rare resources is definitely not a loss.

"Um."

Chen An nodded slightly, while also appearing thoughtful.

He was thinking about something very important.

That is, since skill books exist in this world.

So, is it possible for his talent to refresh and generate skill books?

If we suddenly get over 90,000 skill books tomorrow, wouldn't we be set off on a meteoric rise?!

Of course, he also knew that the probability was extremely low.

But at least there was some hope.

If I get incredibly lucky and it appears on the screen, then it'll take off!

Moreover, his talent can be upgraded.

The probability of getting a skill book at level 1 is low, so what about level 2 or 3?

Maybe the probability of getting firearms will increase then.

Thinking of this, Chen An felt a surge of excitement.

"We must improve the room's comfort level as soon as possible, and then upgrade our talents."

Chen An was thinking excitedly.

Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi, who had just finished another round of monster hunting, have returned.

He then locked the door from the inside.

Then Wang Ziyan said, "After hearing the notification that the airdrop gift pack had appeared, the other residents all dared to come out and kill monsters. The Nightmare on this floor should be almost finished soon."

"Okay, no rush. You guys eat something first and recover your strength."

As Chen An spoke, he took out bottled water, bread, and two packets of pickled vegetables that Jiang Lai had just bought from his backpack.

Only after eating and drinking to their heart's content will they have the energy to go downstairs and grab the airdrop.

"Uh-huh!"

Neither Wang Ziyan nor Lin Luxi refused and started eating.

Maximize your hunger.

Even if I die, I'll die with a full stomach.

Jiang Lai was unusually relaxed and didn't seem to be under any pressure from Wang Ziyan.

Because she knew that going downstairs this time would be very dangerous.

The threat from the monsters was secondary; the main threat came from the bandits.

They were just threatening other residents in the chat room.

Without a doubt, they would actually kill someone!

Especially when the profits are so great.

Chen An was also thinking about how to more reliably obtain the airdrop gift pack.

Letting only Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi try to snatch it is too much of a matter of luck.

"After we clear out the monsters in the hallway, we can try to team up with other residents."

Chen An said thoughtfully.

Since he is now the nominal boss of this level.

Then you can try to take advantage of this relationship.

Of course, you can't convince them with just words.

Therefore, they first used benefits to bind these residents together.

The low-priced crossbow that cost five gold coins was pretty good, wasn't it?

Do you still want to use it?

Furthermore, Li Jia speculated that his talent might be related to the resources available for upgrading the door.

This can also be taken advantage of.

Only a dozen minutes had passed.

The sounds of fighting in the hallway had subsided considerably.

Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi have both fully recovered their strength.

With the combined power of the mermaid figurine and the round bed, you can recover a few points of stamina every minute!

"Let's clear out the remaining monsters first, then collect all the loot, and then I'll talk to Li Jia."

Chen An said.

The two women responded and went out with their crossbows.

Because many Nightmares had already been killed, and other residents had started to contribute, there weren't many Nightmares left in the stairwell.

The two women didn't even need to pull them apart; they quickly destroyed them all.

Then I started picking up the rewards that I hadn't had time to collect before.

Chen An was watching the game through the monitor.

Suddenly, I saw a boy secretly trying to pick up a piece of paper from the ground.

That was revealed by Lin Luxi!
