When they returned to Rebirth Island from Button City, it was already noon local time, and several people just caught up with a lunch.
But for Aaron and Beina, who just came from the United States, this should be considered a late-night snack.
Ye Fei's craftsmanship is indeed outstanding. Zhang Xiaoman feels that every time he comes here to eat, it is a kind of enjoyment.
But now with more and more people, Ye Fei may be a little too busy with just one person. He is also considering recruiting two more chefs to the base.
In addition, the manpower of the craftsman team is obviously not enough. At the beginning, they only repaired a inheritance hall. With the help of World Tree, 5 of them were enough.
But now the project has gradually moved underground, with a depth of nearly 200 meters. Even with Yggdrasil as the main construction force, it would be a fantasy for the five of them to complete a huge project of this level.
Moreover, the base's demand for materials is also increasing day by day. In addition to the main structural material such as titanium composite gel, there are also a series of additional materials including water and electricity, valves, interior decoration, etc.
After all, if you want to build a base, you don't just need to build the walls. All kinds of miscellaneous needs add up to a very huge expense.
Taking into account the shortage of manpower in all aspects, Zhang Xiaoman must take advantage of this period to expand the housing in the base, so that after finding new people, he can immediately invest in development and construction.
Asking Sun Hao to help Aaron and Beina arrange two rooms respectively, there is no need to say more about the surprise of the two.
This island, which is isolated from the world but full of mystery, completely matches their fantasy of a supernatural organization base, especially Aaron, who has not been able to calm down from his excitement until now.
The two people have lived here since then, but they do not speak Chinese and there are still some obstacles in communicating with other people.
Therefore, in the next period of time, in addition to accepting the training plan arranged by Mr. Bei, Aaron and Beina will also have to study Chinese. This language will also become the lingua franca of the Star Alliance in the future.
After eating and taking a walk along the river bank, Zhang Xiaoman went to see the snail's recent living conditions, and then came to the final door and entered the original world.
The original world was still the same, monotonous, boring, and lifeless. Zhang Xiaoman had no choice but to shelve it until there was no extra stardust to upgrade it.
He opened the system panel and took a look. He now had 216 points. In addition to Bei Ye's 42 contribution points, he had a total of 174 points available to him.
However, Zhang Xiaoman did not plan to use it all at once. He needed to reserve 50 points to avoid other sudden situations.
As a result, there are only 12 upgrades left this time. 12 upgrades, if you are lucky, can still improve his strength by a lot.
Clicking on the upgrade option, Zhang Xiaoman used all 12 opportunities in one breath, and then, the results given by the system were also displayed one by one.
"Upgrades are being randomly selected, please wait..."
"Upgrade completed! The purple skill - Star Knight has been successfully upgraded to the purple skill - Star Knight 15!"
"Upgrades are being randomly selected, please wait..."
"Upgrade completed! The blue item - Blood of the Unicorn, has been successfully upgraded to the purple item - Essence of the Holy Spirit."
"..."
A series of prompts appeared in his mind, Zhang Xiaoman checked them one by one, and finally made a summary. The details of these skill upgrades are:
Star Knight 2 times, Unicorn Blood 1 time, Spiritual Predator 1 time, Mountain and River Control 2 times, Emerald Divine Dragon Egg to be hatched 1 time, Leap of Faith 2 times, Flying Stance 2 times, Anti-Gravity Vehicle: Military All-purpose Type 1 time.
Among them, the Star Knight, Zhenshanhe, and the Emerald Dragon Egg that is about to hatch are all purple-level props. It is not enough to upgrade them, but only to accumulate a certain amount of upgrade points.
Currently, the ones with the highest progress are Star Knight and Zhenshanhe, both of which are currently 35.
The few things that were born are the protagonists after this upgrade, and some have even crossed levels, bringing about some qualitative changes.
Of course, what caught Zhang Xiaoman's attention the most was the upgrade of the anti-gravity vehicle.
The reason is very simple. This time it changed directly from a blue-level prop to purple, and its name changed from "anti-gravity vehicle" to "meteor-star frigate".
"Let me go, frigate? This looks like an interstellar-level thing. Can I start a space journey now?"
Zhang Xiaoman was quite shocked and surprised by this, and he was even a little unsure of how much benefit he had gained this time. After all, this interstellar frigate felt a bit too far away and unfamiliar to him.
However, with the idea of seeing good things last, he decided to save this surprise for the time being and take a look at several other upgraded items first.
The first is the skill category, which is also the most convenient. You can view it directly by opening the attribute panel. If you don't want the unicorn blood, he still needs to go home. He put that thing at home.
"The spirit-grabbing technique has been upgraded and turned blue. This is a good skill..."
As Zhang Xiaoman spoke, his eyes immediately fell on the skill he used most.
[Spirit-stealing Technique]
Effect of use: Absorb energy and mental power.
Absorption amount: 100 points of dark energy, 3 points of mental power.
Duration: 30 minutes
Usage consumption: none
Range of use: radius 100 meters
Cooling time: 15 minutes
——Cut off the source and flow, and win every battle!
"Sure enough! After the skill was upgraded to blue, the effect has been greatly improved! Not only has the absorption amount more than doubled, but it can also absorb the target's mental power, which is very powerful!"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at his attribute panel with bright eyes, very satisfied with this skill upgrade.
He even thought of a possibility. If he had been in battle, the effect of absorbing mental power would be 3 points, the duration would be 30 minutes, and the cooldown time of the skill would be only 15 minutes.
Does this mean that as long as there are enough targets, his BUFF can be stacked continuously, and it is not impossible to directly obtain tens of thousands of mental power by then.
Of course, this is just a theoretical state. If so many alien species really appear, then with his current strength, he may just have to run away.
After reading The Art of Seizing Souls, the next step is to take a leap of faith.
This skill was originally at a blue level. After upgrading twice this time, it has directly reached purple level. The effect also surprised Zhang Xiaoman.
