Chapter 216: Magic Towers

"Landowner! Welcome back!" The Salted Fish residents and waved their hands at her and stole a gaze on Long Haoran next to her.

Li Chunhua waved back with a smile.

"Master!" Siri, Elga and two gluttons walked towards the three.

Elga quickly wrapped her arms around Long Haoran while the two little fellows pestered Little Mantou if he brought back something good. Little Mantou pushed the two little heads away. "I don’t have any."

Little Ginseng and Little Lotus turned away and murmured, "Poor." Little Mantou smack their heads. "I’m your Senior! Show some respect."

Li Chunhua sniffed the familiar intoxicating scent of the Emberward Wine.

Wine...

Long Haoran sensed her longing for the alcoholic beverage and asked to turn her attention away unaware he just made a benevolent deed of saving the universe. "Xiao Hua, can you help in the kitchen? I’m going to make refreshments."

Help in the kitchen?

"I can." Li Chunhua readily agreed. Chef Long never fails to make food taste good. Recalling the Mix-Mix dessert she eaten before going on a shopping spree, her eyes lit up.

"Master, I’m going to discuss with you something later. For now, just rest first." Just like Li Chunhua, Siri couldn’t erase this nagging feeling that they were about to fall into a pot of boiling oil. It’s the same feeling he felt before the beams of the Metropolitan Base’s Greenhouse fell.

"Wait a minute, can I ask you a favor? Can Brother Siri draw blueprints of the ballista and trebuchet for Chef Long’s brother?" Li Chunhua tugged a corner of the Elf’s shirt.

Siri lifted his head and saw the black-haired man looking at him. During the mock battle, his strength astonished him. He might not be good at making orders but he was able to defend his teammates’ back, blocking several attacks.

He also got the most kill counts with the large frying pan of his, earning the admiration of the residents and a title: The Killer Frying Pan.

If he had not been immune by his Master’s weirdness, no doubt he will joined those cheering squads letting out a bunch of ’Woah!’ ’Damn!’ ’Wow!’ and so on.

"It’s just blueprints. I can do it right away." Siri agreed as payment for the guy’s help.

"Then it settled. Wait for me. I need to do something first." Li Chunhua said, giving the witch hazel to Aunt He who was making dinner.

Aunt He and Aunt Qie stopped cooking and fetch some fabric to stuff them inside before transferring them to the workshop for production of the bandages later.

[You’ve consumed 100 ml of the Emberward wine and gained 1% boost in all basic stats.]

Everyone was on their third cup and their cheeks were flushed like a cooked shrimp.

Those with lower alcohol tolerance were already dozing off and assisted to the huts to dispel the effects of the wine.

While checking the increase in their stats, they couldn’t help but

"Is there any territory that can be as generous as Salted Fish? There’s food, complete gears, a safe place to sleep, and now there’s even wine." Cui looked at the deep rich red wine on his cup.

The others stopped taking a sip when they heard Cui’s words and even Fern who was keen on being silent all throughout spoke, "If I’m not mistaken, this wine should be made from a high-level plant. You were very fortunate to have a taste. Not all landowners will take out their goods things to feed them to the residents. Some would sell them to obtain capital."

Fern picked up the chopsticks and tossed a small piece of roasted meat in his mouth before taking another sip. Never had he thought, he will a good life even better than when he was in his tribe.

Drunk guys’ translation courtesy of Elga: The landowner is so good. If you have different thoughts in the future, prepare to have premium meatless, gearless and wineless future life, while gritting your teeth watching those capitalist higher ups indulge themselves.

Those people, who could still think properly, processed the pixie’s words.

"You’re right! If I ever turned greedy and lose myself, you lots can beat me in the sheen!" Cui declared before drinking his wine, only to be choked by drink when he saw a bronze quality axe landing in between his thigh missing his small brother by two inches.

"I’ll gladly take that offer! Don’t worry, I’m professional at chopping. I’ll make it a clean cut! It will be so clean that you’ll feel every pain." Elga’s eyes twinkled with red glint before chugging her wine. She grinned malevolently before making a gesture of swiping her neck.

Nima!

(T/N: What?)

Cui’s face became pale felt his soul transcend to the sky and fainted, regretting his earlier words of self-digging pit style.

Fern and the others squeezed their legs together, afraid of being treated targeted by the intoxicated Loli.

Elga transformed to Floyd for another ten seconds, before her expression changed. "I’m serious. Don’t ever let me caught me doing things behind that Good Old Witch’s back or say bye bye to your little brothers."

Meng Chu and the others, especially Fern and those native who witness her rebellious teen phase recruiting them in her army and punched to sky without resistance, a few days ago stiffened.

They were stunned by her words. It seems like the instructor had very good relationship with the landowner now for her to defend her like this.

Seeing them so worked up, Elga plopped her butt on the ground, "But jokes aside, have you mastered your special skills yet?"

The choosing of skills happened while in the training field in the midst of rest. The players inquired the pixie’s advice and Elga spoke at that time. "If your luck is good, I suggest you draw but if not, don’t be complacent and just choose among those available."

The results were mixed, very few choose to draw and it were the Spear girl, Bai Su Su, Yin’er, the mage, Meng Chu and the three brothers and gained great skills because they were in the range of someone’s 24/7 AOE buff luck skill.

Meng Chu, a tank with the initial skills of [Enhanced Defense (P)], [Enhanced HP Recovery (P)], [Basic Taunt (A)], and [Basic Shield (A)], had luckily obtained [30% Damage Deflect- A level] applicable to pure physical and magic damage and a buff type skill which can increase the friendly unit’s defense within 10 meters by 1 minute named [Courageous Spirit-B level].

Bai Su Si emboldened by Elga’s teachings was the first to hit the lottery pool and gained two high-level skills [Hundred Strikes-A level] rapid combo that creates an illusion of hundred charging spears to mask the real one and upon landing deals 220% damage and [Fire Lancer- B level].

The three inspiring musketeers who choose to be warrior had initial skills of [Weapon Mastery (P)], [Slash (A)], [Dash Strike (A)], and [Block (A)] each obtained 2 attacks skills.

Yin’er, the only mage in the Salted Fish territory had initial skills of [Beginner Fireball (P)], a low-level mana recovery [Basic Meditation (P)], allows movement during casting [Mobile Casting (P)], and [Plasma Arrow (A)] drawn two special skills: buff skill [Wisdom- A-level] and a defense skill [Fire Ward- B-level].

Those who didn’t choose joined Glen’s sulking squad, questioning their life choices.

The circle of drunkards discussed about their progress until the two moons hang up to the sky.

They returned to their huts to rest before hitting the training field even against the words of the landowner.

"Ho ho ho. What do we have here?" Elga leaned on the wall of the third inner ring where the four stone platforms were built spotting her students in the middle of the match.

"Instructor!" The ones in the stone platform wearing protection vests and holding their weapons greeted her along with the spectators spread on all corners watching the platform they were interested in.

These people actually initiated such a thing without her instruction. Nevertheless, her lips stretched into a grin, "A match without a bet is not exciting. How about those who lose must grant one wish of the winner?"

Her proposal was quickly supported or rather the students were very obedient, never wanting to get on her nerves.

"Cui, if you beat Brother Jun, make him strip and caw like a chicken." Ge shouted, changing the faces of everyone.

"Not a bad idea! Great Cui, you’re my good role model student!" Elga slapped her thighs in laughter before showing off her axe, "All must participate. Those who didn’t want to abide will have one minute-sparring with me."

EEekkk!

Everyone glared at Cui. If looks could kill, he would die a thousand cuts.

Cui slapped his mouth in regret.

Thus, the friendly duel turned into an all-out war pushing everyone’s potential, not wanting to be among those running half-naked in the field.

Rioli and his team build the crossbows, mini-catapult, and carved arrows from the bamboo.

Auntie Su and others rushed to make bandages with the remaining time, emptying the warehouse of the cotton and linen.

[Basic Bandage]

[Tailoring Proficiency +5]

[Intermediate Bandage]

[Tailoring Proficiency +10]

Inside the residence, after the dinner, Long Haoran made the Mix-Mix dessert per Xiao Hua’s request. He also steeped tea leaves and made tea. Although it didn’t have buffs but the refreshing drink cooled down their throat.

"Here it is." Siri handed the two blueprints to Long Haoran.

"Thank you." Long Haoran said before inspecting the drawings that vastly look different from those built on the wall. Could there have been a mistake?

Noticing him wanting to say something, Li Chunhua explained, "Chef Long, don’t mind it. The effects of the weapons are the same. It’s just my territory automatically changed the designs."

Hearing her words, Long Haoran sent the designs to his Brother.

[Great Romantic Sage]: Muah Brother, thank you for spoiling this cute brother of yours. By the way, is Xiao Hua there? Can I....

Toot toot toot... (The number you dialed is offline. Please call again later.)

Long Zurui: "..."

He hang up again!

Whilst enjoying her ice shaved dessert, Li Chunhua was browsing in her inventory and found the magic tower blueprints.

[Bronze-Grade Basic Fire Magic Tower]

[Silver-Grade Intermediate Ice Magic Tower]

[Silver-Grade Intermediate Water Magic Tower]

[Silver-Grade Intermediate Fire Magic Tower]

Since she had enough mana stone from purchasing in the Earth Points Shop and destroying the Secret Realm Passages, and the crystals for it, Li Chunhua can build it now.

[Do you wish to spend 50 units of stones, 2 units of Winter Polaris Ore, and 6 units of mana ores to build Intermediate Ice Magic Tower?]

[Do you wish to spend...]
