Feeling that it can't solve the problem.

Other players will only have a tougher time at this stage.

In comparison, Li Xiya's life is at least hundreds of times better!

Of course......

Li Xiya only complained occasionally.

After complaining, you still have to hurry up and work.

After all, tomorrow at twelve o'clock at noon is the time node for the arrival of the cataclysmic event Goblin Invasion.

Now every minute and second left is precious.

Other players may not have that much to do.

However, with the completion of the upgrade of the Golden Shelter, the Shelter defense system can be upgraded again.

The job at hand is not easy.

Come to think of this.

Li Xiya summoned the Sky-Breaking Gargoyle and commanded:

"Little Stone, you are now in charge of upgrading the furnace and storage chest, and after completing the mission, infuse as many Luna Elixir as possible."

"I'm going to develop a new version of the mutant potion later!"

"Okay, Your Excellency Commander, don't worry about these little things to me!"

Since the Voidbreaker has advanced, with the help of the Book of Arms and the Philosopher's Stone, he has been freed from his shackles and has become more and more anthropomorphic.

Li Xiya is naturally happy to see the changes of the Sky-Breaking Gargoyle.

"Good job, I'm glad you've been suffering for the past few days!" Li Xiya patted the empty gargoyle on the shoulder.

The Skybreaker Gargoyle said solemnly:

"It is the honor of my life to serve His Excellency the Commander!"

"Okay, you work first, I'm going to get busy!"

"Yes!"

Li Xiya took out a large amount of upgrade resources from several silver storage boxes, as well as thousands of gold construction hammers that had been purchased and made early in the morning, and came to the courtyard of the shelter.

This is because all of the buildings in the Shelter's defenses have been enhanced by Crimson Assimilation, although in doing so, the Shelter's defenses have become more and more powerful.

However, the problem with this is that all building upgrades in the shelter require the participation of Crimson Points.

And the Crimson Points are only owned by Li Xiya and can be consumed, and even Celia cannot obtain Crimson Points.

This also leads to a problem.

Every time the building facilities of the shelter are upgraded, Li Xiya needs to do it himself, and others can't interfere at all.

It is precisely because of this reason that Li Xiya will leave the trivial work of upgrading the furnace and storage box to the Skybreaker Gargoyle.

[Gold Crimson Arrow Tower Upgrade Requirements: Gold Ingot x1800, Gold Longbow x1, Crimson Points x100, Shelter Level 6 (Upgrade duration 3 hours)]

Li Xiya stood next to the towering arrow tower, looked at the information on the upgrade panel, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Fortunately, thanks to the hidden reward, when you choose three out of five, you need to reduce the need for a shelter upgrade by 50%, otherwise it will ......"

"Even if you want to upgrade the defense system of the shelter in one go, it will be difficult!"

"An arrow tower is upgraded to gold, and it needs to consume 1800 gold ingots, which is still the data after the hidden reward takes effect, which one is a big gold eater!"

Fortunately, during this time, the high-end accessories business partnered by Li Xiya and Xu Hongdou was not covered.

These resources, although painful, are still within Li Xiya's range.

"I can't bear the child...... Goblins! Done! ”

As soon as Li Xiya thought of the goblin invasion at noon tomorrow, he directly invested resources to upgrade the Scarlet Arrow Tower.

Three hours is too long.

If you really want to grind so hard, don't say noon tomorrow.

Even if you give yourself another week, I'm afraid it will be wishful thinking to upgrade all the defenses of the shelter.

Therefore, the Gold Hammer of Construction, which can reduce the upgrade time by three hours, is an indispensable upgrade support resource at this moment.

"Bang!"

With the striking of the Hammer of Gold Construction, the Scarlet Arrow Tower is instantly upgraded.

"Boom!"

The Scarlet Arrow Tower rose from the ground and rose a few meters upwards again, and the scarlet pattern on the exterior of the building became more and more complex.

Li Xiya looked intently.

[Name: Gold Crimson Arrow Tower]

[Type: Building, Crimson Exclusive]

[Level: Level 6]

[Quality: Rare]

[Solid value: 6000]

[Defense: 15]

[Area: 4 square meters]

[Height: 18m]

[Range: 500 meters]

[Attack: 25]

[Attack Time: 1.5s]

[Arrow type is fixed as Crimson Arrow: The attack comes with a stackable Bloody Slaughter debuff (after hitting an enemy, it deals 8 damage per second for 5 seconds, this effect can be stacked up to 4 times, dealing 40 damage per second)]

[Trait (1/2): Tree of Life Shelter (Restores 1 HP per second)]

[Trait (2/2): Heart of the Cactus (Fixed damage 15 per attack)]

[Upgrade Requirements: Crimtane Bar x360/Demon Ore Bar x360, Tendon Bow x1/Demon Bow x1, Crimson Points x300, Sanctuary Level 7 (Upgrade duration 5 hours)]

[Note: The Scarlet Exclusive Arrow Tower has been fully enhanced on the basis of the standard Arrow Tower, and the reasonable construction of the Scarlet Arrow Tower can greatly improve the safety and security of the shelter]

"Huh?"

After Li Xiya checked the panel data of the Golden Scarlet Arrow Tower, he was quite pleasantly surprised.

The increase in base attack power, the increase in range, and even the increase in the stacks of the Bloody Slaughter debuff attached to the arrows were all within Li Xiya's expectations.

But what he didn't expect was that the attack speed of the Golden Scarlet Arrow Tower had increased from the original two seconds each time to one and a half seconds each time at the current stage.

Don't look at this kind of improvement is inconspicuous, but the damage increase against the Crimson Arrow Tower has a qualitative increase.

It seems that as the shelter is upgraded, the strength of the buildings will also increase in the process of improving the level and quality.

Li Xiya didn't say a word, holding the resources in one hand and the golden construction hammer in the other, he walked around the shelter, spending the least amount of time to upgrade all the 196 scarlet arrow towers in the shelter to the sixth-level gold scarlet arrow tower.

Celia looked at this scene, with a smile on her lips, and then rolled up her pants and continued to play with magic plants in the fertile field.

Another batch of magical plants is about to reach maturity, and now is the time for the shelter to get busy.

Don't look at Li Xiya's shelter, counting the sky-breaking gargoyles, there are three people.

Much better than the Lonely Ones of other Shelter players.

But the problem is that the shelter where Li Xiya is located has more to do.

Even if it's three people, up to now, aren't they still doing their own duties, and they're even a little too busy?

After Li Xiya took a sip of water, he came to the city wall and looked intently.

[Gold Crimson Wall Upgrade Requirements: Gold Ingot x90, Crimson Points x100, Shelter Level 6 (Upgrade Duration 1 hour)]

The resources consumed to upgrade the city wall are far smaller than those of the arrow tower, but the number is large, which is actually a lot of money.

Fortunately, it only takes an hour to upgrade the city wall, so you don't need a gold building hammer, an iron building hammer is enough.

In other words, it really saves a lot of resources.

Li Xiya thought about it so far, took out resources, and upgraded the city wall.

"Bang!"

With the sound of the hammer of iron and construction, the walls were immediately upgraded.

The walls of the city look stronger and stronger, and the appearance has been upgraded, and the intricate scarlet patterns have also been painted with golden textures.

Seeing this, Li Xiya looked intently.

[Name: Gold Crimson City Wall]

[Type: Building, Crimson Exclusive]

[Level: Level 6]

[Quality: Rare]

[Floor area: 1 square meter]

[Height: 6m]

[Solid value: 7000]

[Defense: 20]

[Passive Skill: Crimson Thorn (Each time the enemy attacks, it will take 6 points of counterdamage)]

[Trait (1/2): Tree of Life Shelter (Restores 1 HP per second)]

[Trait (2/2): Heart of the Cactus (Fixed damage 15 per attack)]

[Upgrade Requirements: Crimtane Bar x36/Demon Ore Bar x36, Crimson Points x200, Shelter Level 7 (Upgrade duration 2 hours)]

[Note: The gold city wall enhanced by the assimilation of the scarlet power not only has higher defense, but also has the effect of anti-damage, which will greatly improve the defense ability of the shelter]

The data of upgrading to the gold and scarlet city walls are not as exaggerated as the arrow towers, and the only unexpected change may be that the sturdiness value of the city wall has increased by 2,000 points directly with the completion of the upgrade.

The increase in this data alone is indeed higher than that of other buildings of the same level of the same kind.

But think about it, the city wall, which consumes less materials and has a single role, is already worth the price if it can increase the solidity value of 2,000 points after upgrading.

You can't force too much.

Li Xiya turned off the panel data of the Golden Scarlet City Wall, and then continued to upgrade the city wall repeatedly, after working for more than half an hour.

The shelter defense system, the first three-piece set -

Walls!

Arrow Tower!

Mage Tower!

Two have already been completed.

This kind of work progress is faster than you can imagine, but it consumes more resources than you can imagine.

The cost of the Gold Hammer and the Iron Hammer is a lot of money.

But with resources, in exchange for time.

In Li Xiya's view, it is a very suitable deal.

With the various specialties and exclusive goods that your shelter currently has, it is easy to obtain the resources needed to upgrade the ingots and even the shelter.

At most, it takes some time to accumulate and get it.

But on the eve of the cataclysmic event Goblin Invasion, it is natural to prioritize how to maximize the combat effectiveness of your shelter's defense system.

No matter how many resources you have in your hand, if you don't circulate or use them, it's no different from a pile of waste materials.

It doesn't matter how much resources are consumed!

It's the shelter defense system that matters!

Or......

In other words!

The shelter defense system is not important!

Li Xiya's safety is the most important!

Li Xiya has a deep understanding of this.

So in the relationship between resources and himself, he does not reverse the position of the two sides.

Li Xiya returned to the shelter workshop.

In the workplace, too, things have changed.

The furnace is golden throughout, and the smelting fire is getting hotter and hotter.

The golden storage compartments are neatly arranged and look much more upscale.

The Skybreaker Gargoyle was standing next to the gold storage box, sorting out resources, and saw Li Xiya arrive:

"Your Excellency, the things you have ordered me have been completed, and all the Luna Elixir has been stored, so you can use it later when you use it."

"Okay, thank you!"

"It's not hard, it's my honor to do some small things for Your Excellency the Commander!"

Li Xiya laughed:

"I'm almost busy with things here, I'll handle the rest of the work myself, there are a batch of magic plants in the fertile field that have matured, you go to the courtyard to help Celia harvest the magic plants."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"

The Skybreaker said yes, and turned to leave the shelter workshop.

Li Xiya came to the newly upgraded storage box and looked at it intently.

[Name: Gold Locker]

[Type: Furniture & Storage]

[Quality: Rare]

[Storage capacity: 45/70]

[Upgrade Requirements: Crimtane Ingot x90/Demon Ore Bar x90, Sapphire Gem x300, Shelter Level 7 (Upgrade duration 5 hours)]

[Note: The gold storage box has a huge storage space of 70 grids, and the resources, food, and throwing consumables of the same kind of materials can be stacked to 999, and the rest are not stacked, and the materials that are not used temporarily can be stored in it]

Li Xiya took out a large amount of scarlet ore from it and prepared to smelt it.

In the future, when the shelter is upgraded, the demand for Crimson Ore Bars and Demon Ore Bars will increase, and these high-level special type of ore ingot resources will still have to be prepared as early as possible.

【Name:Gold Furnace】

[Type: Furniture Crafting Station]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect: The furnace can consume wood to smelt higher-level ores, and the time required to smelt ores of the same level is reduced by 50%, and the gold furnace can currently smelt ores: copper, tin, iron, lead, silver, tungsten, gold, platinum, scarlet, and magic ore]

[Specialization Requirements: General D]

[Upgrade Requirements: Crimtane Ore Bar x450/Demon Ore Bar x450, Sapphire Gem x3000, Shelter Level 7 (Upgrade duration 9 hours)]

[Note: The emergence of gold furnaces means that unconventional types of ore ingot resources will be able to be smelted normally for conventional ore, and special types of resources such as magic ore ingots and scarlet ore ingots will be smelted for the same time as other conventional types of ore ingots in the future]

Well?

Li Xiya's eyes widened, a little surprised.

Crimson ore ingots, even magic ore ingots that he had never met before, took a long time and were difficult to smelt, and he knew all of this.

It is precisely because of these factors that the production of Crimson Ore Bars has not always been very high on the supply side.

But the upgraded Gold Forge changes all that!

Starting today, the smelting time of Crimson Ore Ingot and Demon Ore Ingot and even the higher-level rare special ore ingot materials obtained in the future will be further reduced, which is simply a good thing for Li Xiya, a large resource owner.

Li Xiya casually put all the Crimson Ore obtained from this exploration of the Crimson into the Gold Furnace, and then put in a large amount of wood.

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

The gold furnace is running at full capacity.

After finishing the work at hand, Li Xiya came to the gold workbench, the three-piece set of the foundation of the shelter, and there was still a mage tower that had not been upgraded.

Compared to the Arrow Tower and the city wall, the Mage Tower requires additional staff weapons to synthesize, which is why Li Xiya is returning to the shelter workshop at this moment.

The work on unlocking the recipe for platinum ingots began as soon as the Gold Workbench was upgraded.

At this moment, although it is not possible to unlock all the Platinum Bar recipes, the wand recipe, as the first priority, has been unlocked.

Without much hesitation.

Li Xiya clicked on the recipe page and began to find the formula he needed.
