Chapter 90 - 87: "So Damn Thorough!
Chapter 90: Chapter 87: "So Damn Thorough!
Its lantern-sized eyes stared intently at Lame Monkey and the others.
It was clearly looking forward to the seafood tonight.
After all, it had never eaten it before.
"Hey!"
Chen Fan shouted loudly.
The crocodile, which was lying outside the City Wall, heard him and immediately got up, trotting over to him with a porcelain jar in its mouth.
The crocodile’s limbs were thick and short, making it look a bit comical and goofy as it ran.
"Smell this."
Chen Fan gestured for the crocodile to smell the Mountain Remains Embryo, which was sitting in the Ghost Fire. Holding onto a sliver of hope, he asked tentatively, "Have you smelled this anywhere else?"
Hey Hey obediently went forward and sniffed.
Then, with almost no thought, it nodded vigorously.
"You really know?"
Chen Fan couldn’t quite believe the surprise had come so suddenly. He couldn’t help but grin, patting the crocodile’s head. "Go on, go play. I’ll get you some seafood tonight. Tomorrow morning, you’ll take us to check out that place."
’This guy.’
’It’s practically my lucky star.’
’It’s really helped me out a lot.’
"Wait, come back! Don’t go play yet!"
"You’re working overtime tonight to deepen the cave."
"Get to work."
"That’s right, this wall. Keep digging."
The Warehouse had to be built as soon as possible.
The Copper Pipes he had accumulated these past few days were piled up at the bottom of the Celestial Pit. During this Ghost Tide attack, some of the Copper Pipes were destroyed.
Even though they were all crafted for free, they were his once they were made, so he still felt a pang of regret over the loss. It would be different with a Warehouse. Although the construction price was high, the panel had clearly stated that it "held a universe within."
...
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
At the bottom of the Celestial Pit on Nameless Mountain, everyone was cleaning up the battlefield as quickly as hamsters.
Everything was useful; even the Ghost Object Bones could be used.
Nothing was useless.
’There’s no specific value or anything...’
Chen Fan stood outside Cave No. 1, looking at the Level 3 City Wall. During the previous battle, a large amount of Ghost Blood had surged into the Ghost Blood Patterns on the wall. The Ghost Blood Patterns could absorb Ghost Blood to increase the wall’s strength.
He wasn’t sure exactly how much it had improved.
But it was definitely stronger than when it was first built.
Only Ghost Blood generated during battle could be absorbed by the patterns. The Ghost Blood from Ghost Objects that had previously fallen to their deaths from the cliff had not been absorbed.
He shook his head and didn’t dwell on it.
He looked at the Copper Pipes piled at the bottom of the Celestial Pit. He laid the pipes one meter deep in the ground, connecting the newly built City Wall to the Ghost Fire. This wall spanned the junction between the canyon and the Celestial Pit.
Once raised,
the entire Celestial Pit would be like a perfectly sealed deep well.
Any creature daring to intrude would receive the baptism of the Meat Grinder.
Soon—
The milky-white liquid from the altar flowed through the Copper Pipes to the City Wall, beginning to rapidly repair its damaged areas.
’When will I be able to get another building module Blueprint?’
Chen Fan lamented as he stood on the ground.
So far, he had only obtained one building module Blueprint: Copper Pipe. This type of module Blueprint was often used for interactions between different buildings. While it couldn’t be used as a standalone building, it could greatly enhance the synergy between different structures in the camp.
Thus producing unexpected effects.
Achieving a result where one plus one is greater than two.
But Building Blueprints were already Rare.
This kind of building module Blueprint was even more exceptionally Rare.
Finally—
After a busy first half of the night, the battlefield was finally almost completely cleaned up.
And the crocodile had also excavated a sufficient depth.
...
Chen Fan walked through Cave No. 1, looking at the opening in the left wall. It was about five meters high and four meters wide—the entrance to the Warehouse. Though the entrance wasn’t large, the interior held a world of its own; the chamber behind it was enormous.
It was equivalent in size to the main chamber of Cave No. 1.
The crocodile had excavated this chamber over the past two days.
Warehouse No. 1.
He picked up a Big Saber, carved the word "Warehouse" onto a Wooden Board, and placed it beside the entrance.
Then he walked into the chamber.
The next moment—
The phantom image of a warehouse, composed of countless white lines, slowly materialized inside the chamber.
Ghost Stones shattered and turned into a milky-white liquid that flowed into the phantom image, which quickly solidified.
This was a Green Level building.
There weren’t many Green Level buildings in the camp at the moment.
It was a rare commodity.
Its appearance was truly different from the houses he had built.
There was no trace of it being man-made.
The entire structure was a huge, uncut Cyan Jade Raw Stone. Its surface was smooth and warm to the touch, while a faint, jade-green mist emanated from within. There was only a single doorway leading inside.
On the lintel above the door were carved dim runes that he couldn’t understand.
Next to it was a slot for placing Ghost Stones.
He installed another Copper Pipe connecting the Warehouse and the Ghost Fire. Once the pipe was activated, the runes on the lintel began to pulse like a breathing light, and the Warehouse began to operate.
...
Chen Fan took a deep breath and strode through the door into the Warehouse, ready to see what was inside.
’I’m starting to see a pattern.’
The White Level buildings were relatively down-to-earth, like the Arrow Towers, Wooden Houses, and Farmland, still looking like something mortals would use.
But once the quality or Level got a bit higher,
they looked incredibly impressive—clearly not something a mortal could possess.
The first sensation upon entering the Warehouse was one of comfort.
Inhaling the faint, jade-green mist brought an extremely pleasant sensation, like smoking opium.
Pushing the door open revealed a long corridor. There were four doors on the sides of the corridor, and another door at the far end, directly facing him.
Each room had a different effect.
The first room.
Jiezimai Room: The internal space is fifty times larger than the exterior. The jade-green mist can be controlled for free storage and retrieval.
He pushed the door open and looked inside.
At that moment—
He felt like he had pushed open a door to find a vast, empty stadium. The interior was an extremely spacious area. He tentatively moved the Copper Pipes from outside into this room. The pipes, linked together, were suspended in the air, held up by the jade-green mist below.
There were no shelves.
The jade-green mist served as a natural shelf.
You could control the jade-green mist to retrieve items freely and act as shelving, allowing every inch of space to be perfectly utilized with almost no waste.
"High Level."
Chen Fan let out a soft breath, offering his assessment.
Compared to the Wooden Houses he had used as warehouses before,
it was like comparing the sun and moon to a firefly.
They weren’t in the same league.
He then toured the remaining four rooms, each with different effects.
They were—
Vitality Room: This room provides preservation and refrigeration. Grains stored here are extremely resistant to spoiling. It can also slow the loss of medicinal properties in Ghost Plants and other Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
Concealment Room: This room isolates the fluctuations and auras of all items within. Items placed in this room are difficult for the outside world to sense or detect.
Treasure Room: For certain Rare and special Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, this room will automatically generate a corresponding storage environment. The number of Ghost Stones consumed varies depending on the environment created.
Archives Room: All operations within the Warehouse will be recorded here.
...
"They really thought of every fucking detail!"
Chen Fan couldn’t help but sigh again. He looked at the Warehouse panel on the Eternal Night Lord interface deep within his soul. ’Is this really just a Green Level building? It’s so much stronger than the White Level ones, isn’t it?’
’What kind of garbage have I been subsisting on until now!’
Take the Concealment Room, for example.
A great tool for robbing and killing.
If the great clans of this world had items that could determine where their young masters died, he could just bring them here to kill them. They would die without anyone knowing who the killer was, and no one would be able to find him for revenge.
He didn’t have a use for this function for now.
He hadn’t reached that level yet.
But—
by the time you need a function like this, it’s already too late to try and get it.
He pushed open the door to the Archives Room at the end of the corridor.
It was a spacious room.
A bamboo scroll floated in the middle of the room.
With a thought,
the bamboo scroll floated into his hand. He opened it to find an entry clearly recorded inside.
-
Eternal Night Calendar, Year 378, October 15, 3:45 AM.
Camp Lord Chen Fan placed 12,830 Copper Pipes into the Jiezimai Room.
-
Any retrieval, deposit, time of storage, and the operator involved,
would all be recorded in detail in the Archives Room.
And the scroll could not be destroyed or modified.
It was just like a modern warehouse Management system.
