Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Main Task Completed

Zhou Yinuo was holding a steaming ceramic bowl in her hand, and she walked in lightly as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

"You finally woke up." She put down the bowl, with a hint of helplessness in her tone. "You drank happily yesterday, and today it’s my turn to clean up the mess."

She pushed the bowl in front of Liora. The soup was steaming hot, the color was light, and the faint ginger fragrance and the sweetness of wild berries drifted in the air.

"Sobering soup. Hot. Drink it before it gets cold." Zhou Yinuo’s voice was gentle, but with an irresistible firmness.

Liora frowned and sniffed. "What the hell is this smell..."

"It’s fine as long as it can bring you back to life. I’m not picky." Zhou Yinuo rolled her eyes. "Otherwise, you’ll have a headache and won’t be able to get out of bed at night."

Little Eli immediately added, "Drink it quickly! Sister Yinuo started cooking this morning!"

Liora looked at the two of them, one older and one younger, but they were both standing in front of her, as if guarding something extremely important.

She suddenly felt that no matter how painful her head was, this moment was very warm.

She took the bowl and drank it in small sips. It was bitter and sweet, and the heat flow slid down her throat into her stomach. She actually felt a lot more comfortable.

"Thank you." She said softly.



Zhou Yinuo sat by the bed, glanced at her casually, and suddenly said, "You smiled very happily yesterday."

Liora was startled.

"It’s been a long time since I saw you smile like that," Zhou Yinuo continued, "like a little girl dancing in the spring."

Liora lowered her head, and a faint smile slowly rose at the corner of her mouth.

"Because... that sip of wine is a long-lost taste. It’s like it took me back to a place a long time ago."

The sun shone on her shoulders, her red hair drooped lightly, and the bowl of hangover soup in her hand seemed to become a bridge connecting the past and the present.

"Little Eli and I are the only ones in the house, and everyone has gone out." Zhou Yinuo helped her put away the bowl and said in a relaxed tone, "Only you and Little Eli have not arranged tasks, so if you want to go out for a walk, you can decide for yourself or just stay here and rest."

"I’ll see after washing up." Liora nodded.

"That’s good. Have a good rest. You drank the most last night." Zhou Yinuo said, rubbing Little Eli’s hair. "Let’s go, Eli."

"Goodbye, Sister." Little Eli waved obediently, and the small figure followed Zhou Yinuo out of the house, and the door was gently closed.

Liora breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the head of the bed, quietly enjoying this rare moment of silence. The sun was shining outside, and the air was faintly filled with voices and laughter from afar.

She got up and washed up, washing away the tiredness on her face and slightly relieving the heaviness brought by the hangover. After washing up and changing her clothes, she returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, and took a deep breath.

"I hope you have upgraded now." She whispered in a low voice.

[System Panel].

It had been many days since it was opened. It’s not that she didn’t want to, but the system suddenly started a long-term upgrade and maintenance, which made her think it was shut down forever.

But today, as soon as she opened the interface, the familiar light screen suddenly flashed in the air.

[System maintenance is over. Welcome back, host.]

The light blue interface slowly unfolded, and the familiar data appeared in front of her again.

[Basic Information Panel]

Base Name: Dawn Base

Base Owner: Liora

Current Level: Lv.1 (Initial)

Area: 20 square kilometers

Residential Population: 104 people

Number of Buildings: 13



Defense Level: Very Low

Liora whispered these numbers and nodded gently. Although the development was slow, she led everyone to fight for every step. Even if the system rewards were stingy, she never gave up.

Just as she was about to switch to the taskbar, the interface suddenly "dinged" and a golden prompt popped up:

[Congratulations, host! Main Mission · Base Upgrade (Phase 1) Completed!]

Goal 1: Register at least 3 functional buildings (current: 3/3) – done.

Goal 2: Activate and upgrade the "Primary Food Factory" (current capacity: produce 100 instant noodles per week) – done.

Goal 3: Complete a basic production task (output ≥50 copies of any material) – done.

Task Reward:

Base Experience +300

Upgrade License ×1 (can upgrade the base from Lv.1 to Lv.2)

Factory Module Expansion Pack ×1

Lottery Ticket ×1 (can randomly obtain: food seed packs, scientific research equipment, special drawings, etc.)

Liora’s eyes widened, looking at a series of "done". The sense of accomplishment suddenly rushed to her heart.

"Finally, I can upgrade." She couldn’t help muttering, with an unconcealable smile on her face.

She clicked [Use Upgrade License] without hesitation to confirm the operation.

The next moment——

"Boom——!!"

The whole base suddenly shook!

Liora was caught off guard and sat back on the bed. The whole wooden bed creaked, as if it would be overturned at any time. The floor was shaking, the walls were trembling, and even the small cloth lamp hanging on the ceiling was shaking violently.

"What, what’s going on?!" She subconsciously grabbed the edge of the bed.

Outside the house, panicked shouts came:

"Earthquake!"

"Come out!"

"The base is going to collapse!"

Liora was dumbfounded. "I just clicked the upgrade! You actually gave me an earthquake-level feedback?!"

But this "earthquake" came and went quickly.



In less than ten seconds, the shaking subsided, and the house returned to silence, leaving only some small items that had fallen and her violent heartbeat.

She quickly called out the system panel again and entered the basic information page.

[Basic Information Panel]

Base Name: Dawn Base

Base Owner: Liora

Current Level: Lv.2 (Upgraded)

Area: 30 square kilometers

Residential Population: 104 people

Number of Buildings: 13

Number of Functional Buildings: 3/7

Defense Level: Low

Liora was surprised that a new "Functional Buildings" row had also appeared. What did that mean? That she could only have this many functional buildings and not more than this?
