Chapter 124 – Bonfire Upgrade!

No one expected that.

Xu Jingnian had actually defeated the Lord Realm beast for real so quickly!

Even if I had expected it, I just couldn’t accept the reality and couldn’t imagine how the hell he did it ……

Actually.

Loyal customers of the House of Ore, although there was a bit of a misunderstanding at first.

But with a few later broadcasts, and comparisons in the Favored Beasts chart.

They also gradually realized that their mine boss really seemed to be the bullish Xu Jingnian!

At this point, it’s self-defeating to say anything more about mine owners not being that invincible ……

Because it turns out, he’s just strong!

But even then, as two of the most loyal customers, Super Little Cloud and Terminator couldn’t have imagined it.

How the hell did Xu Jingnian do it?

Although the boss all the way to the second, but those are transcendent ah, or even excellent to stop ……

And Lords, that’s outrageous!

Hoping that the Lord Abyssal Battle Armor, which they had thought with all their hearts and minds that it was invincible at this stage, wasn’t considered invincible anymore.

Because the meta will be harder ……

As for Xu Jingnian, even after hearing the broadcast, he was obviously a bit surprised.

He really didn’t think that with this kind of digging, it could actually count as defeating a lord!

But anyway, there’s a broadcast, there’s a reward, and it’s all he gets anyway, cool!

And the Black Crystal Cave.

Yuan Bao clutched the head-sized black and yellow crystal core, his copper teeth gently biting the air twice.

Want to eat ……

It’s so big, it’s sure to be enjoyable!

“Yuan Bao, quickly use the red rope and transfer this crystal core back!”

Xu Jingnian was a bit impatient.

“A ……”

Genpou sighed.

Too bad you can’t eat it ……

Buzz–

[Red Rope Swap in Time and Space]

[The Year of the Promised Land – Yuanbao (exchanged)]

Xu Jingnian came to this pitch-black cave full of black crystals with a blur before his eyes.

Waiting for Genpou to return to the homestead.

After putting the crystals down.

And they make the exchange again.

Buzz–

[Red Rope Swap in Time and Space]

[Yuanbao – Xu Jingnian (exchanged)]

Come back.

Xu Jingnian had Yuan Bao rush back from the underground as well, as the broadcast had just said that it could earn an Abyssal Karma.

Instead, he came to the crystal core that was the size of a head.

A panel emerges before your eyes:

[Lord Crystal Core – Rock: Lord realm life core with dominant rock energy. Can be used to upgrade home bonfires, or to level up rock-based favored beasts ……]

The description is much the same as the others.

Xu Jingnian wanted to know how many Transcendent Cores this Lord’s Crystal Core could be used as.

Then he picked up the huge lord’s crystal core.

Come to the campfire.

Lord crystal cores were very heavy, and it was a good thing that after Yuan Bao had been promoted to Lord, Xu Jing Nian had also strengthened his physique once again due to his favored beasts giving back to him.

This will barely move ……

[Homestead bonfire]

[Whether to upgrade: Upgradeable! Detected, there is a lord’s crystal core nearby!

“Wow, this one Lord’s Crystallized Core, it’s really a direct upgrade to the bonfire!”

Xu Jingnian got excited.

It seemed that this Lord Crystal Core, according to the previous algorithm, should be able to be worth a hundred Transcendent Crystal Cores.

Just enough for a campfire upgrade ……

“Come on then!”

Xu Jingnian waved his hand.

[Homestead bonfire, start upgrading ……]

[During this time, please continue to add firewood to the bonfire, or the upgrade will be suspended and the flame will go out!]

Boom–

At once, the blazing heat of the bonfire erupted once more, a bright blaze that shot straight up into the dome, almost roasting the homeworld shields at the top.

From the bonfire, a wave of flames rushed out, forming a “wave” that swept the lord’s core into the center of the bonfire.

Then, the burning time of the bonfire, began to decrease rapidly and sharply!

[Estimated burn time: 109 hours…108 hours… .107 hours ……↓]

It burns extremely fast.

Fortunately, Xu Jingnian had let Yuanbao spit out more fire when he was idle earlier, and the burning time was more than sufficient.

Lower it at that rate.

Can still afford ……

But Yuan Bao was still underground, and Xu Jingnian was a bit worried.

Just to be on the safe side, have Super Little Cloud and Terminator, expedite the exchange of some lumber.

Instead, he exchanged air.

Within five minutes, Super Little Cloud and Terminator, quite reliably, sent two large piles of wood.

Add it directly to the campfire to transform it.

[Estimated burn time: 211 hours … 210 hours … .209 hours ……↓]

“Now, there’s no need to worry, wait for the dollar bill …..”

Xu Jingnian watched the campfire burn.

And by this time, the leaves had gardened until they had little energy left, so they came running to give their master a massage.

Another moment passed.

Genpou had just rushed back, it jumped out of the hole in the ground and immediately looked at its master.

As expected, Xu Jingnian’s gaze turned over at the first opportunity as well.

This made Genpou happy.

The master is the best!

And Xu Jingnian lived up to his expectations, opening his mouth, “Little guy, you’re back just in time, it’s time to work ……”

“A!”

Genpou hopped over to him cheerfully, his tail clad in iron scale armor all wagging.

It came to the campfire.

And this time.

The mists outside the campfire, however, began to surge rapidly again.

Next moment.

A deep purple light fell directly from the dome and descended onto Yuan Bao’s head.

“A?!”

“It’s okay, kudos coming up!”

Seeing this, Xu Jingnian turned on Perception Synchronization.

Instantly, the energy that Yuan Bao’s body was able to hold expanded extremely fast, and it was soon twice as high as before!

It was full of energy, but now, it’s just half full ……

It’s not that the energy has become less, it’s that the energy it can hold, has become more!

But it’s not over.

That deep purple glow, too, was good to the end, and helped to replenish Genpou’s full energy directly.

At this point.

Genpou’s rank is still Lord level though.

But the energy in its body has come to be roughly lord three levels …….

Obviously, it has a much higher ceiling!

This time, Xu Jingnian was very satisfied with the reward.

Sure enough, it’s still the first broadcast of slaying a new realm beast where the reward is really good!

And the last time the first lord, the reward was some kind of ticket to ascension sometime in the future, what the hell, what’s the point?

He doesn’t know ……

But the metabolism’s energy is replenished when it’s full.

Just as he was instructed, a steady stream of flames began to be unleashed on the campfire, pouring out.

With the current Lords meta, plus the backup energy for storing skills.

It’s no problem to keep spitting fire for ten minutes or so.

Bonfire upgrades, however, don’t take that long.

Soon.

Just when there was roughly a third of the meta-energy left.

The blaze of the homestead bonfire was so intense that it almost reached the leafy planting area ……

Well at this time.

[Bonfire upgrade complete!]

The broadcast went off, and the blazing flames suddenly retracted the campfire, becoming much the same as before.

But a little brighter.

“Okay, show me soon?!”

Xu Jingnian opened the campfire panel:

[Homestead bonfire]

[Illumination range: one hundred meters in diameter (changeable …… currently consumes 10,000 firewood points per hour)]

[Remaining firewood: 4622↓]

[Estimated burn time: 0.4 hours ……]

[Current level: Level II]

[Flame Blessing: doubles comfort within the campfire’s illumination, and slowly heals damage to soul and body.]
