111: Star Tower Upgrade

“We’re here!”

Lin Ye and Alistia landed together.

The space-time turbulence hadn't arrived early.

It seemed the Star Devouring Beast’s appearance had slightly slowed the storm’s speed.

Lin Ye ignored the questioning gazes of the crowd and went directly to the Star Tower.

“Upgrade!”

Ding~

You have consumed 10 million star coins, 1,000 time-space crystals, and 1 time-space core.

Star Tower successfully upgraded!

The next second.

The Star Tower soared to twice its original height amidst a rumble, and its light barrier expanded, increasing its covered area by several times.

Ding~

Star Tower has a new building, the Plantation.

Star Tower has a new function, free conversion of experience and proficiency.

“That’s great, Your Excellency! We can now plant food and herbs,” Liddell exclaimed, the first to show her delight.

Tu Xiusi laughed heartily.

“Eating those monsters from the Star Sea every day is a bit nauseating.”

The Forgotten Land now had a Plantation.

In the future, the output of potions would bring in another source of income.

Lin Ye didn't use many potions before; only star dew was drinkable.

He wondered if Liddell’s Arcane Master level could concoct some special potions.

He wouldn't worry about it for now.

He would build it first.

Lin Ye didn’t even look at the price, he just clicked.

Ding~

You have consumed 1 million star coins and 1,000 time-space crystals to successfully build the Plantation.

Ding~

Heun Liddell has become the supervisor of the Plantation. Due to her Arcane Master skill level, Star Tower has a new building, the Pharmacy.

Build it!

He wasn’t short on money!

Ding~

You have consumed 1 million star coins and 1,000 time-space crystals to successfully build the Pharmacy.

“Is it expensive?”

“Not at all!”

Lin Ye was more concerned about cross-realm travel now.

He opened the Star Tower panel.

“Still not enough?”

Lin Ye was truly furious.

In a fit of rage...

He immediately upgraded the Star Tower again.

Ding~

You have consumed 100 million star coins, 10,000 time-space crystals, and 10 time-space cores.

Star Tower successfully upgraded!

Everyone hadn't yet recovered from the previous surprise when they heard a loud rumble.

The Star Tower once again doubled in height.

The light barrier expanded in a circle, covering an even larger area.

Originally.

The Forgotten Land had many shattered areas where space-time turbulence lurked, posing a risk of death and account deletion if one got too close.

Now.

All this space-time turbulence was directly pushed out by the light barrier.

What remained.

Was filled with stardust, becoming normal ground.

After two consecutive upgrades.

The village’s area had expanded by more than ten times.

Although it was still not as large as some prosperous towns in the empire, compared to the Newbie Village’s footprint, it was already quite good.

Ding~

Star Tower has new buildings: Smelting Workshop, Processing Workshop, Breeding Garden, Mechanical Workshop, Adventurer’s Home.

Star Tower has new functions: Life Skill Inheritance, Adventurer Profession Inheritance.

“All buildings are unlocked?”

“Even life skills and inheritance professions are unlocked together?”

Lin Ye was about to say it was a bit expensive, but now he immediately felt... cheap!

Too cheap!

Click!

Keep clicking.

Ding~

You have consumed 2 million star coins and 2,000 time-space crystals to successfully build the Blacksmith Shop.

Ding~

Heen Tu Xiusi has become the supervisor of the Smelting Workshop. Due to his Arcane Master skill level, Star Tower has a new Blacksmith Shop.

“So cheap~”

Lin Ye simply clicked to build everything at once.

Processing Workshop, Breeding Garden, Mechanical Processing Center, Adventurer’s Home... all unlocked!

Tailor Shop, Beast Taming Garden, Mechanical Processing Center, Adventurer’s Guild...

“Wait, only Adventurer’s Home, Adventurer’s Guild?”

Lin Ye looked and immediately understood.

“Villox isn’t revived?!”

Lin Ye clicked again.

Ding~

star coins insufficient, Villox’s revival failed!

???

What did you say?!

I have over a hundred million star coins, and you say I’m out of money?

Lin Ye’s face was filled with disbelief as he opened his spatial ring to look...

The star coins that were just like a small mountain now only had a few million left in the corner.

Hiss!!

One Star Tower upgrade directly cost me a hundred million?

Then this isn't just a bit expensive.

It’s really expensive!

Lin Ye’s heart sank, and he immediately checked his time-space crystals.

Thankfully.

He still had over 700,000 time-space crystals...

The Star Devouring Beast was too powerful.

Its core was made of space-time crystals; even a little bit leaking out was enough to make him rich.

Oh, right.

Lin Ye remembered he still had the corpse of a Saint-tier Star Devouring Beast.

This should be the biggest gain, right?

“Wait a minute...”

Lin Ye suddenly remembered.

He was in too much of a hurry when he collected the Star Devouring Beast and didn't notice the hundredfold yield prompt.

By default, it should be the quantity?

But Lin Ye’s ring space was only enough for one Star Devouring Beast; how could it fit 100?

Thump!

Lin Ye’s heart trembled, and his pupils contracted sharply: “Could it be... no way?”

The next second.

Lin Ye opened his ring space and directly cast Detection on it.

Star Devouring Beast Corpse · Mythical Grade

“Hiss.....”

Lin Ye sharply inhaled a cold breath.

The quantity hadn't changed.

But the quality had.

Saint-tier.

Promoted to Mythical tier!

Holy cow!

Lin Ye himself could hardly believe it.

“I’m rich now.”

“Truly rich!”

“Avinia, as an Arcane Master, had been half-skeptical about Mythical-tier existences her entire life.”

“Now...”

“A living... no, a living Mythical-tier creature’s corpse is actually lying in my spatial ring!”

Invincible!

Lin Ye had long known that the hundredfold yield talent became more monstrous the later it was.

This was obvious.

Even if an ordinary weapon was upgraded to exquisite, or even directly to legendary, what then?

Legendary items could be bought.

Others could also drop them.

It was just easier for Lin Ye to obtain them.

But.

What about in the later stages?

Every leap across a tier was as difficult as crossing a chasm.

From Legendary to Saint-tier, countless geniuses were already stuck, and even Avinia, who possessed the Time Barrier, didn't break through early.

Then look at the Moon Queen, who had the advantage of the eternal ruins and once managed a vast magic kingdom, yet still needed to rely on awakening to become a Saint.

eternal.

Was originally a game that relied entirely on class advancements for progression.

And Saint-tier, above Legendary.

One could know with their toes that it was definitely not just a simple class quest that blocked you.

So.

Lin Ye now, except for materials and gold coins, generally didn’t choose quantity; he just blindly upgraded quality.

Saint-tier.

Promoted to Mythical.

After that...

That would probably be Primordial, right?

Primordial Era.

Should be infinitely close to gods, right?

Let alone players.

Even the current NPCs in eternal...

Among the Saints.

Probably not many could reach Mythical class advancement, right?

Then let alone Primordial.

Lin Ye was only at his second class advancement now, and he was already infinitely close to the Primordial tier.

“Primordial Treasure Chest... open it!”
