Chapter 29: Choice (1)
Hoo, hoo, hoo!!In the forest, Yu Hong was panting heavily, staring at the two people in camouflage lying on the ground before him.
Their attire reminded him of the previous stutterer.
‘Are these people from the Allied Army?’ He couldn’t help but recall the guy named Zhao Zhenghong who had come last time.
The guy had said it was an invitation, but in reality, he had sent someone to secretly hide by the door, trying to ambush him when he went out.
Such a sly and treacherous person. After the appearance of the evil shadow, and the increased importance of the Great Luminous Stone, it made sense for him to send people to capture him again.
Crouching down, Yu Hong carefully examined the two individuals.
Soon, he found various miscellaneous items.
Two military green daggers, two bags of old-version Luminous Stones, two leather water pouches, but none of these were anything special.
One thing, however, made Yu Hong a little surprised.
It was a grayish-white silver coin found on the person who had drawn a gun.
The front of the coin depicted a tall, sharp, and beautiful tower, and the back had a special symbol commonly seen on Luminous Stones.
“Could this be the town’s regular currency?” Yu Hong wondered, holding the coin thoughtfully.
Whether it was or not, he decided to pocket it for now. After looting the two, he saw they hadn’t woken up yet and didn’t bother with them. He cleaned them out and then headed back the way he came.
As for whether the two would survive, that was up to luck. If they woke up before nightfall, they might live. If not…
Soon, Yu Hong found the things he had dropped earlier, and even collected the scattered dry wood, hugging it all and returning to the cave.
If it weren’t for the high-level physical training method, which allowed him to recover twice from the chilling effects, he probably would have been captured by now and sent off as a tool.
Click, he opened the door with the key and quickly entered, shutting it tightly behind him.
The heavy door slammed shut, locking securely, and Yu Hong felt a deep sense of safety.
He temporarily set down the items, placed them near the fireplace to prevent them from getting damp, and then sat on a stool to think about the issues he had encountered that day.
First, there were the items he had looted—two handguns, a silver coin, two daggers, two bags of old-version Luminous Stones, and other miscellaneous things.
He fiddled with the handgun, having never touched one before. After a long
But now, since that solution wasn’t available, shortening the enhancement time of the Great Luminous Stones was more crucial.
After all, even if he didn’t use them, he could exchange them for goods with others, and they were truly hard currency.
Time passed quickly while Yu Hong was engrossed in his work.
Luckily, there were no blood waves or beetles to disturb him that night. Yu Hong drew deep into the night, and when he felt tired, he enhanced some dried meat. It took about three hours to enhance one piece. Once he confirmed the countdown time, he went to sleep.
He slept until morning.
In the morning, after eating and taking care of personal needs, he began practicing the advanced physical training method.
At noon, he went out to gather firewood, pick wild vegetables, and refill his water supply.
In the afternoon, he returned to continue practicing drawing advanced symbols, and during breaks, he enhanced more dried meat, making sure not to waste the black seal time.
This routine repeated every day.
Finally, by the afternoon of the fifth day, the drawing of the advanced symbols was finally successful!
In the cave, Yu Hong let out a deep breath, his face relaxed, smiling as he held up a Great Luminous Stone with the advanced symbol he had just drawn.
“Not bad. Not worse than what the stutterer drew!”
He eagerly placed it down and pressed his hand on it.
“Enhance into a Great Luminous Stone, direction: effect enhancement.”
He thought to himself.
Immediately, there was feedback from the black seal.
A black line shot from his hand and instantly entered the Great Luminous Stone.
Then, a mechanical voice echoed in his ear.
“Would you like to enhance it into a Great Luminous Stone?”
Yu Hong didn’t respond but instead released his hand, his gaze fixed on the Great Luminous Stone with the advanced symbol.
The countdown had already appeared.
“2 days, 19 minutes.”
Bang!
Yu Hong slapped the ground hard.
“It worked!!”
He couldn’t help but laugh with joy.
“Sure enough, my guess was correct! Shortening the difference between the item before and after enhancement can shorten the enhancement time!”
Two days for a Great Luminous Stone—this was a third shorter than the previous three days!
This meant he could enhance more Great Luminous Stones more quickly, ensuring his safety! He could also exchange them for more supplies!
After the excitement, Yu Hong quickly had a new thought.
“The enhancement time for the Great Luminous Stone has shortened, but I have no idea how powerful the evil shadow really is. What if the danger of the evil shadow is greater than I imagined?”
