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

Chapter 48 Redemption List, Seal of Natural Selection, Upgrade is expected!

　　【Ding, you assembled the Settlement Treasure Creation Ring and got a reward! 】

 【You gain experience points +60,000 and merit points +3,500! 】

　　【Your attributes have been improved and you will get all attributes +10! 】

　　【When the creation treasure ring is in assembly state and you are in the settlement, the recovery speed of all states will be doubled! 】

  【The cohesion function has been unlocked and you have the only authority. 】

　　【Cohesion list has been opened! 】

　　【Ding, you have assembled a settlement treasure for the settlement hub, and the settlement hub gains experience value +20%! 】

 Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

 Assembly creates a treasure ring, which brings 20% experience to the settlement hub.

 In this way, the experience of Bronze Tree Seedlings reaches 90%.

 As long as you destroy one more settlement seal stone, you can advance to level two!

Moreover, it’s not just bronze tree seedlings.

 His own rewards were not bad either.

 The feedback on assembling the creation treasure ring was also very generous, with ten points given for all attributes alone.

 There are also a lot of experience points and meritorious deeds.

However, compared to these.

 What he cares about most is the cohesion function!

 Compared with this function, the reward for assembling and creating a treasure ring can only be regarded as an added bonus.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

 Lu Cheng thought silently in his heart.

 Suddenly, a curtain of light unfolded.

 【Settlement Function: Cohesion (Creation Ring is being assembled)】

 【Current level: Level 2】

  【Cohesion List】

 …

 Lu Cheng looked at each other in turn.

 The first thing that catches the eye is the natural selection props.

 …

  【Stone of Natural Selection】

  【Settlement Props】

　　【With the country as the scope, select a random settlement and engage in a natural selection showdown with the initiator settlement. Optional duel direction: level, number of monsters killed, number of secret realms conquered, combat power star level (not unlocked)]

　　【Requires Level 1 Condensation Function, consumes 1,000 Origin Stone Crystals, and takes 20 hours. 】

  【Cohesion limit: 0/100】

 …

 The names are different, but they are all natural selection props of the same level, and the effect is the same.

The natural selection props condensed by the Japanese settlement are of this level.

 For the first-level natural selection props, the only scope that can be chosen independently is the country, and the randomness is too strong.

 It was the combat power star that made Lu Cheng take a second look.

 This is an indicator for evaluating combat power in the later stages of the disaster.

 In the previous life, this indicator was unlocked on a large scale only after the world announcement of [Extraterrestrial Civilization] came.

 Shaked his head, Lu Cheng continued to look down.

 The following ones are all first-level props with different effects.

 …

  【Disperse Runestones】

  【Settlement Props】

 【Used within 6 hours before the monster wave comes, there is a chance to dispel a random monster below level 10 in the monster wave, with a success rate of 50%. 】

　　【Requires level 1 of Condensation Function, consumes 500 Origin Stone Crystals, and takes fifteen hours. 】

  【Cohesion limit: 0/100】

 …

  【Beast Tide Guiding Stone】

  【Settlement Props】

　　【With the country as the scope, select a random settlement, which can cause monsters around the settlement to riot, forming a wave of monsters. The difficulty is slightly lower than the normal monster wave. If the settlement is facing a monster wave, the monster wave difficulty increases. 】

　　【Requires Level 1 Condensation Function, consumes 1,500 Origin Stone Crystals, and takes 40 hours. 】

  【Cohesion limit: 0/100】

 …

  【Protection Enhancement Stone】

  【Settlement Props】

　　【The shield function can only be used after it is unlocked. It can increase the shield and increase the defense within one hour. At the same time, the energy loss caused by the attack on the shield is halved. 】

  【Note: If used when the monster wave comes, the defense strength will be doubled. 】

　　【Requires Level 1 Condensation Function, consumes 3,000 Origin Stone Crystals, and takes 80 hours. 】

  【Cohesion limit: 0/100】

 …

Lu Cheng quickly pulled down.

With the blessing of the Creation Ring, although the settlement is only level one, it can also condense level two props.

 Soon, the list of secondary props was displayed.

 …

  【Natural Selection Runestone】

　　【Settlement Props】 　　　【Select a random settlement within the range of hundreds of numbers, and compete with the initiator settlement for a natural selection showdown. The direction of the duel…

 【Winner, all attributes of the whole settlement will be increased by 20 points, loser, all attributes of the whole settlement will be deducted by 20 points. At the same time, if you win the natural selection with your own hands, you can choose an item from the opponent's settlement and plunder it to your own settlement. 】

　　【Requires level 2 of Condensation Function, consumes 2,000 Origin Stone Crystals, and takes thirty hours. 】

  【Cohesion limit: 0/50】

 …

  【Protective Seal】

  【Settlement Props】

　　【The protective shield function can only be used after it reaches level 2. The protective shield can be amplified and the defense strength can be greatly improved within three hours. At the same time, the energy loss caused by the attack on the protective shield is halved. If used when a monster wave comes, the defense will be doubled. 】

　　【Requires level 2 of Condensation Function, consumes 6,000 Origin Stone Crystals, and takes 150 hours. 】

  【Cohesion limit: 0/50】

 …

The properties of the second-level props are obviously much better.

 Glancing at it, Lu Cheng quickly pulled it down.

 He is very familiar with the cohesion function.

These props are not bad though.

 However, there is a benefit when you unlock the cohesion function for the first time!

 It would be too wasteful to use these props.

 As the exchange list is scrolled to the bottom.

A system prompt sounded in Lu Cheng's ear.

　　【Ding, unlock the cohesion function for the first time and get a chance to leapfrog the cohesion. 】

　　【You can choose one of the three-level props to condense, only once! 】

"coming!"

Lu Cheng's heart moved.

 Then, start checking.

 …

  【Seal of Natural Selection】

  【Settlement Props】

　　【Designate one or more settlements by yourself and engage in a natural selection showdown with the initiator settlement. The direction of the duel…

　　【For the winner, all attributes of the entire settlement will be increased by 20 points and 40 free attribute points will be obtained. For the loser, 30 points of all attributes will be deducted for the entire settlement. At the same time, if you win the natural selection with your own hands, you can choose an item from the opponent's settlement and plunder it to your own settlement. 】

　　【Requires level 3 of Condensation Function, consumes 3000 Origin Stone Crystals, and takes fifty hours. 】

  【Cohesion limit: 0/20】

 …

 When the Natural Selection prop reaches level three, you can specify the target by yourself, which is equivalent to a precise strike.

 The effects of various other props have also been enhanced a lot.

  After all, once a settlement reaches level three, it can be upgraded to a city, which is equivalent to a qualitative change in itself.

 Looking at various props.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

These props alone are already worth a lot of money.

However, that is not what he wants.

With a slight movement in my mind, I continued to pull to the bottom.

 …

  【Heart of the City】

  【Settlement resources】

  【Can greatly improve the quality of settlement hubs, giving them the ability to support cities in advance. Each settlement can only condense one. 】

　　【Requires level 3 of Condensation Function, consumes 20,000 Origin Stone Crystals, and takes 336 hours. 】

  【Cohesion limit: 0/1】

 …

"This is it!"

Lu Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

 This is the real good stuff.

 The heart of the city is a necessary resource for a settlement to reach level three and be upgraded to a city!

 In the previous life, in the late stage of the Cataclysm, this thing was not too scarce.

 After all, as long as you have the condensation function and reach level three, you can condense one.

 Furthermore, in some special third- and fourth-level secret realms, there is also a chance of them exploding.

 But in the early and mid-term, it was very different!

 Except for the cohesion function.

 The only way to obtain the heart of the city is world disaster!

 In the previous life, the Bear Country settlement that survived the deep sea craze was immediately upgraded to a city.

After that, it took two full months for a second city to appear in the world!

 And now…

 The heart of the city is the most difficult part. Once this is solved, other restrictions will be easy to deal with.

 Three hundred and thirty-six hours, that is, two weeks.

“If you act quickly, maybe we can build the city in two weeks!”

Lu Cheng clenched his fist slightly.

 This progress is several times faster than in the previous life!

 Being able to face the frenzy of the deep sea in the form of a city will undoubtedly make you more confident.

and…

 He has the highest authority, and the settlement has been upgraded to a city. The improvement brought to him is unimaginable!

    12 o'clock in the middle of the night is too late. I will try to get the two chapters out tomorrow and adjust them to be released around 8 pm!
