    • by Cristae — 237 Jewel Rune (3) Among the eleven mages, three belonged to the Nantes Magic Society, those often called Noah Michel’s fanatics. The only information the magic watch’s database could provide was their names, nationalities, affiliations, and a brief biography. If they were domestic mages, I could have found out more, but with foreigners, even that much was difficult… Still, there were ways. Fortunately, the reports left behind by the Management Bureau’s staff remained. There were no…
    • by Cristae — 236 Jewel Rune (2) “So, how do you check a rune?” Hong Seok-young was as excited as a child with a new toy. I adjusted my magic watch as I answered. “There’s a comparison program. If I run it…” “You said there’s a rune database, right? The runes you’ve shared so far—did you pull those from there, too?” “Not all of them.” I shrugged. “There are some runes that every Hunter has to learn as a basic skill.” “Ah. The concealment rune?” “Yes. The…
    • by Cristae — 235 Jewel Rune (1) Hong Seok-young led me deeper into the building. From the entrance, the building hadn’t looked very large, but as we walked through its interior, it proved to be much more spacious than I’d expected. Perhaps noticing my puzzlement, Hong Seok-young offered an explanation. “It’s an old building, you know. They did some construction in the middle and connected it to the building in the back.” “Isn’t this a building used exclusively by the Association?” “In…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 99: Lost in a Chorus of Praise 01 Survival Squad: Qi Yu made two sets of down jacket outfits for each of them. A full set of down jacket outfits required Swift Feather x90. In total, he used Swift Feather x540. Qi Yu opened the trading page for that custom-processing player. That person’s blueprint probably didn’t have as many options as his, only offering to process long down coats, with a processing fee of 10 beast crystals. Level 1 beast…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 98: Little Alien? “I feel happy for this simple, tangible joy right in front of me. What about you, Qi Yu?” Half a month ago? Qi Yu did a quick calculation. Including the novice period, they’d been in Survival Game for over twenty days now. Half a month ago, just a few days after entering the game, he didn’t have such a nice house, nor did he have so much delicious food. He studied the instructions on the instant noodle packaging, nodded, and agreed wholeheartedly, “I feel…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 97: Instant Noodles and Chilled Fizzy Drinks Region Channel 01. The numbers jumping on the points leaderboard with each refresh could only be described as “terrifying.” Some of the sour comments from earlier in the day had now completely vanished. Especially those who’d been using “he’s just a life-skills class” to comfort themselves—now it seemed they’d finally realized something: So what if he’s a life-skills class? If I ever go up against…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 96: The Legendary Elven Archmage Aegnor [Screaming Lily of the Valley (Blue): Due to certain experiences, this lily of the valley’s mind has undergone some strange changes. When it comes to enemies, warnings alone are not enough—only complete eradication can bring rest and peace. Skill 1, Bell Chime. The Screaming Lily of the Valley can foresee the arrival of enemies and ring out a clear bell to alert the inhabitants of the territory. Bell Chime effect: all allied units are inspired,…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 95: Territory Expansion “A treehouse?” Dan Xingyu pictured it from Qi Yu’s description and sincerely marveled, “That must be beautiful.” Qi Yu suddenly remembered, “Wait a second, I think the survival panel has a photo function—I’ll send you a picture.” He’d seen others use this feature in the regional channel and the 01 Survival Squad, but he’d never needed it himself, so he hadn’t looked into it. Fortunately, the survival panel was easy to operate. He stepped…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 94: Level-Three Shelter, Treehouse Shen Ben Wuxiang sent over the 260 units of blue-quality stone he was missing. Qi Yu opened his personal panel, navigated to the shelter upgrade page, and submitted the required items and materials one by one: Level-three shelter blueprint 1/1, acquired. Blue-quality wood 1000/1000, fulfilled. Blue-quality stone 600/600, fulfilled. Magic crystal stones 100/100, fulfilled. The other requirements—five basic buildings, five…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 93: The Level-Three Shelter Blueprint in Hand With a clear goal in mind, Qi Yu headed straight at full speed toward the spot where he’d discovered the black ancient trees the day before. Along the way, aside from the swiftlets, there were no other mutated creatures to be seen. Qi Yu maxed out his stealth attributes and cast a lightness spell; most of the first-tier swiftlets only felt a gust of wind pass by, never catching sight of a figure. When he caught sight of the black shadows…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 92: The Magic of the Fishing Rod Qi Yu looked at the wooden lounge chair beneath the parasol. The chair looked so comfortable, as if it carried a certain charm that made one want to sit down without thinking. He thought so, and naturally, he did just that. Once he lay down, Qi Yu realized it was actually a rocking chair. With a gentle push of his feet, his whole body began to sway slightly with the chair. How pleasant. With the prompt from the survival panel, a splashing sound…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 91: The Golden Apple Sapling Sprouts He hadn’t slept well last night. When Qi Yu woke up in the morning, he sat on the edge of the bed, a little dazed. It seemed as though he had been scolded in a dream, though he couldn’t be sure—he had forgotten everything. He yawned, bleary-eyed, staring at the rain outside the window. When his little house had been upgraded, the glass windows had come with curtains, but Qi Yu rarely bothered to draw them. After a moment to collect himself,…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 90: Thank-You Gift, Blue Resource Point What Qi Yu had learned was the most basic constant temperature magic array, with limited functions and a fixed area of effect. And though it was called “constant temperature,” in reality, he could only set a single temperature in the territory module, and it couldn’t be changed afterward. More advanced constant temperature arrays, according to what he’d read in books, could adjust the size of the array, automatically regulate temperature…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 89: The Constant Temperature Magic Array A question mark slowly appeared above Qi Yu’s head. If he remembered correctly, it had already been several hours since his friends messaged him about ImVeryDominant and MyFateIsMineNotHeaven’s falling out and arguing. How were they still at it? Didn’t they need to kill swallows, too? He was still puzzling over this when he saw MyFateIsMineNotHeaven’s actually come out and respond. 【MyFateIsMineNotHeaven’s: There’s no such…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 88: Brother Qi Yu On the way back, Qi Yu encountered a few more scattered flocks of swallows. His principle was simple: if he could deal with them without losing time, he would take the points; if it meant a delay, he would speed up and move on. So, by the time he returned to his territory, it was exactly 5:40 in the afternoon. There were twenty minutes left before nightfall. Standing within his territory, Qi Yu let out a breath of relief. All around the territory, countless white…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 87: Seventy Thousand Points Qi Yu lightly licked the tip of his tooth, every cell in his body trembling at the sight before him. It was as if he had returned to the apocalypse, to that moment when, all alone, he had unwittingly stumbled into a Rift Monster’s nest. But things were no longer as they once were. Now he had a healthy body, magic at his side, and powerful equipment and tools at his disposal. Besides, swallows were nothing like those disgusting, useless Rift…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 86: The Forest of Giant Trees Dan Xingyu gently ground his teeth, letting out a humph. “Fine, go ahead and eat.” Qi Yu was completely oblivious to his friend’s minor mood, happily devouring his meal. After the two of them finished breakfast, Qi Yu finally said, “Well, I’m heading out now. Dan Xingyu, goodbye.” “No, that’s not right.” He corrected himself meticulously, “It should be, let’s talk next time.” Dan Xingyu was caught off guard by his cuteness once…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 85: The Purely Hungry Devilvine Before solving the weather problem, Qi Yu didn’t want to take in any new residents for now. Suddenly, the Screaming Lily began to shriek. Qi Yu didn’t hesitate—he went outside at once. Even with the Bright Sunflower illuminating the area, nighttime visibility was still no match for daylight, and the heavy rain further obscured his sight. Qi Yu simply released his spiritual power, his invisible “domain” spreading out from him in silver…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 84: Points Shop, Tier 3 Shelter Blueprint Mage Association Shop. Qi Yu opened the shop and found the two skills that had tempted him before: the cultivation method and the martial technique . The two together required 150,000 gold coins. Qi Yu was about to make the purchase, but paused and decided to search for magic arrays first. Basic Temperature Control Array: 10,000 gold coins. Basic Defense Array: 20,000 gold coins. Basic Repair Array: 20,000 gold coins. … There…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 83: We’ve Met Before The professional version of the communication orb, once bound with spiritual power, proved to be remarkably stable. So stable, in fact, that the voice on the other end sounded as though the person were speaking right beside him—crystal clear. And… very familiar. Qi Yu had an excellent memory, especially since he’d begun cultivating his spiritual power; when reading, he could already achieve photographic recall. Voices, naturally, were no…
