Chapter 16 : Constructing Special Building Black Water Altar
Hopefully Arthur can get three spirit cores today, Bai Yu could only rely on it. But even if she didn’t get any during the day, there would always be opportunities when higher level enemies appeared at night.
If tonight was like last night and another dozen or so howling moon silver wolves came, then Bai Yu was confident she could get them all this time.
Let’s not worry about these for now, we’ll consider it when we get the resources.
Bai Yu needed to first upgrade the castle once and then talk. Bai Yu had already set aside the resources needed to build the Bone Throne, plus the 40k wood and 20k stone she just traded for, there were now nearly 100k wood and stone in the storage.
She was now the little nouveau riche Bai Yu in this magical world.
[Upgrade Requirements: 12k Wood, 6k Stone]
Bai Yu looked at the castle upgrade requirements again. Upgrading the castle to level 7 only needed 12k wood and 6k stone. Bai Yu clicked to upgrade without any hesitation.
[Castle Level: lv 8]
[Health: 60k (Invincible)]
[Territory Size: 6000m Radius]
[Abilities: Within the territory, the castle lord has the ability to see everything as well as the ability to dismantle and move items from the storage.]
[Special Buildings: Girl’s Closet]
[Upgrade Requirements: 16k Wood, 8k Stone]
It was still the same as before with nothing new, except for the increased health and territory size.
And the upgrade requirements became more expensive…
“I’m upgrading again!”
[Castle Level: lv 9 (Max)]
[Health: 70k (Invincible)]
[Territory Size: 6000m Radius]
[Abilities: Within the territory, the castle lord has the ability to see everything as well as the ability to dismantle and move items from the storage.]
[Special Buildings: Girl’s Closet]
[Upgrade Requirements: 50k wood, 30k stone, 10k iron ingots]
[Tip: The castle has been maxed, upgrading again will turn it into a town.]
[Congratulations to the lord for upgrading the castle to level 9, received 1 special building blueprint!]
Bai Yu: ???
“How much? 50k wood, 30k stone? Why don’t you just rob it?”
“The fudge is an iron ingot. I’ve never even seen it before, and you want me to get ten thousand? Do you think it’s like cabbage, what game does that?!”
It seemed that the level 9 castle was already the max and another upgrade would turn it into a town. It was clear from the name alone that a town was much bigger than a castle, and its functionality would definitely be increased.
For a previously top ranked gamer like Bai Yu, iron ingots were pretty easy to understand. Bai Yu definitely wouldn’t be stupid enough to think they were something you obtained from killing high level monsters. But with there being so many lords, there was definitely some idiot who thought that way.
This was obviously asking you to go mining, okay. Find some iron ore and then go smelt it in a furnace for iron ingots, just like Minecraft from Bai Yu’s previous world.
“Isn’t this discrimination. Outside my castle are either swamps for a snowy mountain, where can I find iron ore, wuwuwu.”
Bai Yu guessed that she must be among the first group of people who upgraded their castle to max.
As for iron ingots, there will always be a way, just like how you’ll always find a road when you approach the mountains, or a straight path when you reach a bridge. As the the most beautiful person in this magical world, Bai Yu believed she would definitely figure something out.
“Let’s first see how this majesty’s luck is, hehe!”
Bai Yu claimed the special building blueprint.
[Congratulations to the lord for obtaining Special Building Blueprint: Black Water Altar.]
[Special Building Blueprint: Black Water Altar]
[Building Rank: King Tier]
[Ability 1: The center of the altar continuously generates a lake of black water. Creatures thrown into the altar will gradually have their souls and flesh corroded. Throwing corpses will turn them into undead that the lord can control (ineffective on those king tier and higher).]
[Ability 2: A barrier permitting only entry and not exit will form around the altar (ineffective against undeads and those king tier or higher.]
[Ability 3: Undeads cleansed by the black water will be strengthened, with a very low chance of changing their growth limit.]
[Construction Cost: 10k Wood, 5k Stone, 100 Magic Crystal, 1 Spirit Core]
“Wow, the system never cheats me. Another support type special building. Now I don’t have to use the summon undead magic on corpses one by one. I’m free, yeah!”
Both the Black Water Altar and the Bone Throne were king tier special buildings, but the resources needed for the Black Water Altar were much fewer than those needed for the Bone Throne. Bai Yu decided to build the Black Water Altar right now.
Otherwise, once there were more special buildings in the future, Bai Yu would have difficulty choosing.
Actually, the main reason was that upgrading to a town was just way too expensive. Bai Yu was too poor, wuwuwu.
Bai Yu sobbed.
Just as Bai Yu was about to build the Black Water Altar, her entire body suddenly went limp and sat on the ground, a blush spreading across her little face.
Bai Yu couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.
“Mmm… bui… build…”
Four massive stone pillars suddenly rose up in the courtyard of the castle, on it were carved with all the different kinds of undead. The stone pillars were a dull blue grey color, each topped with a giant skull that had pale blue flames burning in the eye sockets.
The four stone pillars surrounded the center of the altar. A square altar slowly materialized, covered in strange symbols that Bai Yu couldn’t understand. Then, black water began to seep out from the altar, completely submerging it.
It looked like there was only a layer of black water, but its depth also felt bottomless. The black water slowly spread out to the edges of the four stone pillars before stopping.
The four skulls reflected each other and formed a pale blue protective shield, enclosing the entire altar inside.
The altar wasn’t small, it was at least the size of a soccer field. Thankfully Bai Yu’s castle had been upgraded, or the courtyard might not have been big enough for the black water altar.
Good times always end fast. Bai Yu had now recovered from the joy of leveling up, but there was still some spilled fruit juice left.
“So annoying, my clothes are all dirty!”
Bai Yu went to shower again and changed into a new set of casual wear.
Her small jade like feet were still bare in a pair of flip flops. Since her upper body wasn’t dirty, Bai Yu didn’t change them and was still in a white T-shirt. Her lower half had been swapped with a pair of sweatpants while her long white hair that usually draped over her shoulders, was now tied into a high ponytail.
Otherwise, having her head full of hair flopping around all the time was really annoying.
Bai Yu was extremely clear minded right now, in a sage state.
Bai Yu opened her own profile.
