Chapter 106: Three Different Rewards
Chapter 106: Three Different Rewards
On an early winter morning, Lin Sai stepped out of his hut and made his way towards the town.
After several days of cultivating crops, he successfully added the skill 'Plant Cultivation' to his attribute panel.
However, he had been using items that were optimized for resources, which made his progress slow.
Lin Sai had just managed to advance the skill to the Mastery level.
It took two hours from sowing to harvesting.
Excluding other tasks, Lin Sai could now breed at least six generations of crops in a day.
After a few days, he had several new types of crops in his hands.
Unfortunately, each had its advantages and flaws, and none were the ideal cold-resistant crops he envisioned.
Based on his recent experience, Lin Sai adjusted the breeding process, bringing the entire plan closer to fruition.
Crop cultivation was a time-consuming task that also relied on a bit of luck.
Lin Sai was determined to tackle this challenging goal.
However, today, Lin Sai had another task in mind. After several days of investigation, his efforts were rewarded with a new quest appearing in the quest panel.
[Escape the Predicament]
[The Frontier Town faces a significant crisis. Solve the townspeople's predicament before everything is lost.]
[Quest Rewards:
Enable the town to overcome the crisis - Frost Giant's Blade, and a large amount of Attribute/Skill Experience Points.
Help the townspeople escape the Hidden Frontier - Unlock Real-Time Strategy Module, 42.195km Running Shoes, and a large amount of Attribute/Skill Experience Points.
Defeat the Dragon Beast - RPG Module Upgrade, Daily Gold Bag, and a massive amount of Attribute/Skill Experience Points.]
The rewards were enough to keep Lin Sai awake all night.
And here they were, right before his eyes.
Three different ways to complete the quest, each with distinct rewards.
Overcoming the crisis and defeating the Dragon Beast were both directions Lin Sai was currently striving towards.
However, the option to 'Help the townspeople escape the Hidden Frontier' sparked a new idea in Lin Sai's mind.
Escape this world!
In the Hidden Frontier Town, there used to be a Teleportation Array that connected the town to the outside world, and although it was damaged, it still stood within the town.
Lin Sai's goal for the day was to inspect the original Teleportation Array.
The town's craftsmen weren't Spatial Mages, so they couldn't repair the array.
But with his gamer abilities, Lin Sai might be able to fix this teleportation device.
With this in mind, Lin Sai made his way to the array.
He walked west past the statue of the Great Explorer for about fifty meters and arrived at his destination.
Before him was a dilapidated courtyard.
The simple white paint on the courtyard walls had peeled away over time, revealing patches of mottled bricks.
Lin Sai quietly entered, keeping his footsteps light.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds.
Looking up, he noticed the main building, which had been abandoned for a long time, had no windows, leaving only an empty hole where the windows once were, allowing the cold winter wind to blow through.
The warm sunlight that shone here only accentuated the desolate scene.
A single elderly guard, sent by Uncle Anri, leaned against the wall, dozing off.
The entire courtyard was filled with an air of decay, as if time had stopped over a decade ago.
"..."
Lin Sai didn't disturb the guard.
He entered the dilapidated courtyard and quickly found the teleportation device in the center. It was an open, cone-shaped structure resembling a pavilion from the movie 'Lord of the Rings'.
In the middle of the pavilion, on the ground.
Complex geometric patterns overlapped, forming an intricate design. However, a large area of menacing cracks, centered in the upper left corner, had spread across the entire surface.
The original array had been severely damaged, losing its original function.
Lin Sai, without a word, crouched down and reached out to touch the array.
The cold ground didn't respond.
But ten years ago, this place was different, and the decay before him might hold a future.
[Ruins: Teleportation Array Relic]
[A Teleportation Array with its core and overall structure severely damaged during the Essence Tide, losing its original capabilities.
】
【Extremely Difficult to Repair, Suggest Rebuilding a New Teleportation Array, No Value.】
The message from the item interface.
Undoubtedly, a death sentence for this Teleportation Array.
In fact, in the first few years after the dramatic change thirteen years ago, there were often visitors here as well.
However, none of the Awakeners in town had any solution for this shattered array.
Not to mention whether they had a professional like a Spatial Mage.
Even the materials that constituted the Teleportation Array, the Hidden Frontier might not be able to find them.
In the end, under the judgment of the old craftsman Iriel, this place was completely abandoned.
Andre merely followed his work routine and assigned someone to nominally guard this place.
"Since it's already impossible to repair... If I slightly damage it a little more, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Lin Sai muttered quietly.
He glanced furtively at the guard beside him, feeling like a thief.
On a winter morning.
The guard was wrapped in a blanket, his eyelids drooping lazily over his face, not looking like someone who could awaken at all.
So, Lin Sai didn't make a sound.
He carefully picked a palm-sized fragment from the array, then took out his own workbench and tried to place it on top to craft it.
【Fragmented Teleportation Base Array 1 + Fragmented Teleportation Base Array 2 + Fragmented Teleportation Base Array 3 + Fragmented Teleportation Base Array 4 + 1 Flow Crystal + 1 Moon Demon Scale Powder + 5 Obsidian + 1 High-Grade Magic Beast Blood = Complete Teleportation Array】
An unprecedented complex crafting formula appeared before Lin Sai.
Undoubtedly, Lin Sai's crafting ability could repair the Teleportation Array.
Even the four shattered Teleportation Array fragments, Lin Sai could directly pick them out from the floor.
It was only the latter few materials that were the issue.
Take one, for example - High-Grade Magic Beast Blood.
According to the classification of Magic Beasts, first to fourth stages are typically low-grade, fifth stage is mid-grade, and sixth stage and above are considered high-grade.
"So, just the blood of a high-grade Magic Beast is already hard to obtain."
Lin Sai shook his head with a bitter expression.
However, he didn't immediately give up hope.
Later, he could inquire in town; perhaps one of the Awakeners had these materials in their possession? With this thought, Lin Sai put the fragment back in its original position.
He didn't disturb the guard during the entire process.
He came quietly and left quietly, leaving almost no changes in the courtyard.
"Ah—"
Lin Sai stretched lazily as he exited the courtyard.
After confirming the condition of the Teleportation Array, he felt slightly more invigorated.
But as he walked through town, although the scenery looked no different from usual, Lin Sai, who knew what was happening, felt like there was something stirring in the town.
Lin Sai's steps slowed as he walked on the gravel road.
He looked up at the sky.
The weather today was pleasant, with clear blue skies and not a cloud in sight.
"The weather is nice, at least."
Lin Sai muttered to himself.
He didn't return to the wooden hut but instead turned towards the southern forest.
Today was a rare free day, perfect for hunting.
It had been almost a week since his last hunting trip, and he couldn't forget about it.
Lin Sai was all action, moving quickly.
An hour later, he found himself in the town, with a rabbit in hand.
Lin Sai possessed the title of [Rabbit Nemesis].
This title allowed him to understand and mimic the sounds of rabbits.
The captured prey wasn't a smart one, making normal conversation difficult.
However, during the capture, Lin Sai heard the rabbit's cries.
"Web! Spider! Big!"
"Hmm?"
Lin Sai furrowed his brows.
He hadn't forgotten the attacks the Frontier Town had suffered, so he naturally wanted to investigate.
He ventured deeper into the forest for over an hour.
When Lin Sai opened the [Map] again and expanded the range to scout, he was shocked to discover a cluster of hazardous red dots chasing a group of green marks symbolizing friendly forces to the east!
