Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

Chapter 23: Gather the equipment! One last thing!

  【Because you have the highest military exploits, the settlement hub has been opened to you! 】

As this system prompt sounds.

 The bronze tree in front of him swayed a few times, and a light green light point flew out and disappeared into his body.

  【You temporarily have the highest authority in Settlement Hub No. 1024. 】

 Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng's heart moved.

At the same time, the settlement panel has also changed.

 Previously, only he could see the two new functions.

 Now, he can set permissions and choose whether to open it to other people in the settlement.

 Lu Cheng thought for a moment.

 Nowadays, the settlement hub is only at the first level, and the highest authority is not of much use. It can only make these small and small settings.

 When the settlement reaches the third level and begins to be transformed into a city, the role of this authority will be initially reflected.

 Having the highest authority, he is the default city lord of the settlement!

In addition, some settlements can also open secret passages and enter treasure places.

However, that is all for the future. Lu Cheng didn’t pay much attention and looked at the exchange function.

 This function is the real key!

As Lu Cheng thought, a light curtain opened in front of him, displaying two rows of lists.

  【Exchange List】

 [Frontier order: 100 contribution points (land adjacent to settlements can be converted into safe zones and included in the scope of settlements)]

 【Wood: 1 contribution point (1kg of wood)】

 【Drinking water: 1 contribution point (1kg of drinking water)】

  【Food (meat)…】

　　【…】

 The exchange list is full of things, including building materials, food, drinking water, etc.

On the other side, the recycling list was empty. Lu Cheng took out a few pieces of equipment and put them on.

  【Origin Stone Fragments x12: 12 contribution points. 】

  【Beginner's Cloak: 27 contribution points. 】

　　【…】

 After glancing at the list, Lu Cheng was satisfied.

  Only after unlocking the exchange function can the settlement hope to survive the disaster!

At present, the exchange function is only one level, and there are not many things that can be exchanged, but it is enough for the time being.

 Otherwise, there are more than 10,000 people in the settlement, which is a huge number just for survival every day.

Lu Cheng recovered several pieces of white equipment, and then exchanged them for a border order.

The Border Order is a square token, the size of a mobile phone, which falls into Lu Cheng's hand.

 【Frontier Order: Special Props (Settlement No. 1024)】

  【Use the land outside the settlement to convert it into a safe zone, preventing monsters from coming. 】

 【After transformation, gain the experience points of 10 monsters of this level. 】

 【Energy: 100% (can convert up to one square meter of land)】

“If the surrounding area is surrounded by level one monsters... activating the protective shield function will require 775 Border Orders.”

Lu Chengxin said.

 There are two opening conditions for the protective shield, and the one with one thousand energy is very satisfied.

 Charging consumes Source Stone fragments, with a one-to-one ratio. One thousand Source Stone fragments is enough.

 The difficulty is the settlement area!

Although the difference in area is only more than 700 square meters, the energy of a frontier order is only enough to convert one square meter of land into a safe zone.

Moreover, this must be a level 1 monster spawning area. Areas with higher levels of monster spawning will consume more energy.

Of course, the corresponding experience rewards will also be higher.

 Level 2 monsters also have at least twenty experience points, and ten times that is two hundred points.

 He is now at level eight, and this experience is of little use to him.

 But for other people in the settlement, it is already quite rich!

Professionals with ordinary talents need three or four people to work together to hunt down level 2 monsters, and one person only has five or six points.

Lu Cheng turned his eyes and looked towards the settlement to chat.

At this time, the chat in the settlement was very lively. The area of ​​the settlement suddenly expanded, and countless people were talking about it, very excited.

“Everyone, this wave of monsters is not all. After the settlement is formed, the wave of monsters will continue. In the next month, there may be three more waves, each wave stronger than the last.”

Lu Cheng’s mind turned and he sent out the message.

 As soon as he spoke, he was recognized immediately.

 “Damn it! Did I read that correctly? Is that Mr. Lu Cheng?”

 “It’s Lu Shen! Lu Shen has spoken!”

“Lu Shen is so handsome! I saw with my own eyes that a fireball killed a mechanical monster in seconds!”

 Suddenly, the community chat was flooded with messages, hundreds of them in the blink of an eye!

 But immediately, everyone panicked when they saw the content of Lu Cheng's words. "Really...really? There is a wave of monsters...and??"

“Three waves, each wave is stronger than the last? Does this still allow people to live?”

“I don’t want to die, Mr. Lu Cheng, please save me...”

"Brother Lu Cheng, Lu Shen, there must be a way for you, right? There must be something, right?? I don't want to die..."

 There was a wailing in the chat in the settlement.

Fear appeared on everyone's face. This wave of monsters had brought too great a psychological shadow to them.

 A few seconds later, Lu Cheng's second message came belatedly.

It's not that he was trying to show off, it was just that the messages in the chat box were flowing too fast.

“Don’t panic, everyone, the settlement now has two more functions, please check it out.”

 Speaking, Lu Cheng opened the permissions.

 Everyone hurriedly opened the settlement panel and looked at it one after another, and everyone suddenly looked happy.

“After the settlement is upgraded, the protective shield function is unlocked! It can block monsters below level 15... With the protective shield in place, monsters cannot get in!”

“Wait a minute, what’s wrong with the fact that the activation conditions are not met? The settlement area is not enough, how can we increase it?”

 “I found it! Use the Frontier Order and get 100 contribution points for that one!”

“A border order can convert one square meter of land and gain experience points! I saw it, and now the difference is only over 700 square meters!”

“It’s more than 700 square meters. Let’s work together and it will be enough soon!”

Without Lu Cheng opening his mouth, everyone volunteered one after another and arranged their own tasks.

 Looking at the news in the community chat, Lu Cheng smiled.

 The next step is his own business.

  Six pieces are still missing from the ten basic equipment required for bronze-level missions.

“Purchase six pieces of rare equipment, no limit on level, no limit on occupation, no limit on attributes, trade for Source Stone fragments.”

Lu Cheng's thoughts moved slightly and he sent out a message.

Within ten seconds of sending the message, someone came to see me immediately.

“Brother Lu Cheng, I have a piece of rare equipment!”

 “I have it too! Where are you? I’ll send it to you right away!”

“And me! Rare equipment from the mechanical system, do you like this?”

 There are many people among the top 100 in the battle merit list.

 After experiencing a wave of monsters, many of them opened equipment in the treasure box. Seeing Lu Cheng's need, they responded one after another.

 “Don’t use so much, just bring what you can’t wear.”

 Lu Cheng added.

There were too many people looking for him. In just ten seconds, there were more than 30 people. He couldn't use so many.

“Boss, can I do this? The dead bone dagger is found in the treasure chest. The requirement for wearing it is undead. No one can wear it.”

 Wei Meng, who ranked third in the battle merit list, sent a private message.

As the settlement is upgraded, the private chat function is also unlocked, which is a lot more convenient.

"Can."

 Lu Cheng nodded and reported his location.

 “Brother Lu Cheng!”

Wei Meng rushed over quickly, holding the equipment in his hands and showing great respect to Lu Cheng.

 After him, several more people came one after another, each carrying rare equipment.

 The last one to come even offered two pieces.

This man obviously opened a black iron-level treasure chest, but he only found two rare pieces of equipment that could not be used. He felt that he was extremely unlucky and refused to have physical contact with Lu Cheng for fear of infecting him with his bad luck.

 “It’s okay, go ahead.”

Lu Cheng handed over a handful of Originium fragments, patted the man on the shoulder, and sent him away.

“Ten pieces of rare equipment and three BOSS cores are enough.”

After taking inventory, Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

As long as you find the altar, submit this Bronze level quest.

 “But before that, there is one last thing…”

Thinking of the altar, Lu Cheng looked solemn.

 He wants to find the people from Li's Technology and find out where the ruins are.

 The Mechanical Explorer also mentioned the altar before he died!

 “Well, Mr. Lu…”

Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from next to me, which seemed a bit familiar.

"Um?"

Lu Cheng turned his head and looked, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The person who came was none other than Li Yuanqing!
