163: Home upgrade

"Since that's the case, let's first buy eight space crystals with war points to upgrade the Home, and as for the remaining points, we'll discuss them later."

As Liu Yang spoke, he brought up the game panel and entered the war points shop.

The price of a space crystal was incredibly expensive, costing as much as 10,000 war points per piece.

For ordinary people, this was a prohibitive price.

To be honest, if Mitra hadn't broken the Home during her upgrade, Liu Yang would never have been in such a hurry to upgrade the Home.

After all, the Home's current level was already more than sufficient, even overly so.

But there was nothing he could do; the Home was broken, and he didn't know if there would be any safety hazards during its subsequent use.

Searching for space crystals, Liu Yang directly purchased 8 of them.

Instantly, 80,000 war points were deducted.

Fortunately, even so, the number of war points remained in the six-digit range.

"Allen, you come with me. We'll find a more secluded spot to upgrade."

All the materials for upgrading the Home had been gathered, so Liu Yang no longer delayed.

"Yes."

Allen nodded in agreement.

"Brother-in-law, what about us? Will it be dangerous if we stay inside the Home during the upgrade?"

Seeing Allen being called out, Guan Ningyan immediately asked.

Liu Yang looked at Guan Ningyan, whose eyes were darting around, and instantly understood what she was thinking.

Her concern for safety was fake; she truly wanted to see the scene when the Home upgraded.

"Don't worry, we're just going to find a suitable place. When the time comes, we'll definitely call you out."

This was not just a perfunctory remark; he genuinely didn't know if anything would happen if people were inside the Home when it upgraded.

Not only had he not experienced it, but he had never even heard anyone talk about it.

"Mm-hmm, I understand."

Guan Ningyan nodded, beaming.

The disappearance of the Fairy race greatly increased external safety.

Allen traveled an unknown distance underground until he finally reached a secluded valley where few people ventured.

Liu Yang looked at the valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides with only one small path leading in, and nodded in satisfaction, then called everyone else out.

"[Crude Cone-shaped World (+): Created with space crystals as the main body, supplemented by Five Element Spirit Stones and numerous other materials. It can no longer be called a Home; it already has the prototype of a world.]"

"[Next Upgrade Conditions: Iron Block x10000, Stone Material x10000, wood x10000, Copper Block x10000]"

Looking at the information of the diamond-shaped crystal in front of him, Liu Yang turned to look at everyone.

"I'm about to start. Just in case, everyone, please step back."

"It should be fine, right? Didn't we have no problems last time!"

Guan Ningyan was reluctant to leave, wanting to watch from up close.

"Last time was last time. Why don't you think about the time before that?"

Liu Yang frowned and reprimanded her.

"Alright..."

Watching everyone retreat to a safe distance, Liu Yang reached out and tapped, silently muttering:

"Home upgrade."

As the command was given, the diamond-shaped crystal began to spin wildly.

Immediately, a void vortex expanded rapidly from small to large.

At the same time, the materials for upgrading the Home automatically popped out of the warehouse.

Once the materials appeared, they were instantly sucked into the vortex.

Then, the vortex expanded again, and its suction grew stronger and stronger.

"Retreat, keep retreating."

Liu Yang's expression remained unchanged as he continued to retreat.

There was no need to tell the others; seeing the situation, they knew they couldn't stay nearby and quickly followed Liu Yang's retreat.

After retreating a considerable distance, they looked back at the valley; the surrounding grassland had all been sucked into the vortex.

Even the surrounding rock walls collapsed in pieces, being absorbed by the vortex.

After a long while, the vortex slowly contracted until it disappeared.

When the dust settled, the current state of the valley was revealed before the ten people.

The valley, which was originally only the size of a football field, had now expanded at least 5 times.

The surrounding mountains had all been absorbed by the vortex.

When Liu Yang arrived at the scene, the diamond-shaped crystal had disappeared, and only a hazy light cluster floated in its original place.

"[Perfect Miniature World (+): Built with the Spirit God wood as the pillar, space crystals as the main body, supplemented by Five Element Spirit Stones and numerous other materials, plus a massive amount of rocks and vegetation. At this point, it has advanced further from its original foundation and can now be considered a complete world.]"

"[Next Upgrade Conditions: Iron Block x100000, Stone Material x100000, wood x100000, Copper Block x100000, gold spirit stone x10000, wood spirit stone x10000, Water Spirit Stone x10000, Fire Spirit Stone x10000, Earth Spirit Stone x10000, wind spirit stone x10000, electric spirit stone x10000, thunder spirit stone x10000, yu ling stone x10000, empty spirit stone x1000, space crystal x100, Spirit God wood x10, Heart of the Earth x1.]"

Looking at the materials needed for the next upgrade, Liu Yang felt an intense toothache.

He felt that, barring any accidents, the Home would probably remain like this for the rest of his life.

Then he turned back and said with a smile, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go inside to take a look."

Hearing this, Shi Yufei and the other nine immediately used the return-to-city function to enter the Home.

Afterward, Liu Yang reached out and touched the light cluster, preparing to see if it could be moved.

Unexpectedly, when he touched the light cluster, it drilled into his body and disappeared.

Could it be?

Liu Yang's heart stirred, and he immediately chanted the command: "Home activate."

Instantly, a light gate appeared before his eyes.

When he chanted "Home close" again, the light gate immediately retracted.

The light cluster that had drilled into his body never reappeared throughout the process.

"Hahaha, this is great! From now on, the Home will have no medium, so there's no need to worry about external dangers at all."

With his conjecture confirmed, his heart stirred, and he immediately returned to the Home.

At this moment, he was standing in the center of the square.

And Shi Yufei and the others who had entered first were staring dumbfounded at the current Home.

Liu Yang looked around, growing more excited the more he saw, and immediately ran towards the distance.

The previous Home had already been very shocking, but compared to the current one, it was completely insignificant.

Although the castle was gone and there were no visible living quarters, everything around them completely exceeded Liu Yang's expectations.

At this moment, around the square, fields of varying sizes were the first to catch his eye.

Beyond the fields were clear, shallow rivers.

The appearance of the rivers was nothing new, as they had been present in the previous Home as well.

But what was different was that now, there were fish and shrimp swimming in the rivers.

Liu Yang, quick with his eyes and hands, grabbed a fish and twisted its head off.

After waiting for a while, the dead fish did not disappear.

At this moment, the other few people were stunned, dumbfounded, and then cheered and jumped.

"This is great! It looks like we can catch fish in the river to eat!"

"Yes, if the fish don't disappear after dying, it means they're edible. So, does that mean the fruits on the distant fruit trees can also be eaten?"

"Frost Skill, you should have cooking utensils in your warehouse, right? You go ahead and prepare this fish to see, and we'll continue exploring forward."

Liu Yang was still not at ease, so he handed the fish to Guan Ning霜 for experimentation.

Although it hadn't disappeared yet, whether it was edible and filling still needed to be tested.

"Mm, then you all go ahead. I'll stew the fish and try it. If it's edible, future days will be much easier."
