Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

Chapter 50 The tide of monsters is coming, source energy illustrated book! [Dear gentlemen, please read it later! (ω＼)】

[Ding, the sealing stone guardian beast has been killed by you! 】

[Ding, you killed the sealing stone guardian beast: the pine tree demon, gained experience points +38879, and the source energy limit +2.2! 】

[You alone killed the sealing stone guardian beast of the same level or above, and gained free attribute points +28! 】

[You gained 7 reputation points! 】

The system prompts.

Killing the pine tree demon brings another 28 points of free attributes.

Lu Cheng's thoughts moved slightly and he controlled the meteors and fire showers.

Suddenly, the remaining unfired flint turned around and roared towards the settlement sealing stone.

"Boom bang bang bang..."

The flint fell, and the settlement sealing stone flew away.

The last flint fell, and the sealing stone was already crumbling.

"Oh!"

Lu Cheng added another fireball.

At this time, the sealing stone's durability has completely returned to zero.

"Crack..."

A soft sound came from inside the sealing stone, and cracks instantly covered the surface.

A few seconds later, it shattered with a crash.

[Ding, you destroyed the settlement seal stone and got a reward! 】

[You have gained free attribute points +20! 】

[You have gained +10 experience points and +2000 merit points! 】

[Announcement: The settlement sealing stone was destroyed, and everyone in settlement No. 1024 received +1 in all attributes! 】

[The settlement hub gains experience value +20% and growth speed +5%! 】

Along with this system prompt.

In the broken sealing stone, light green light shimmered and gathered, forming a ball of light, soaring into the sky and flying towards the settlement.

Finally, it disappeared into the body of the bronze tree.

"Crack..."

The bronze tree seedling shook with moisture, and then began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not long after, it had risen by nearly one meter!
  The bud on the branch has also matured a lot, it is very full and ready to bloom.

However, it seems that the last step is missing and it has been unable to bloom.

[Warning: The settlement hub reaches 1% experience at level 100 and attracts a large number of monsters! A wave of monsters is gathering in the southeast and will attack the settlement in three hours. 】

[If the defense is successful, the settlement hub will be upgraded to level 2. If the settlement hub is destroyed, the settlement will lose its function. The countdown begins...]

In the settlement, warning signs sounded.

"Here we come! The wave of monsters that Lu Shen told us about!"

"Only three hours? So tight!"

Everyone's heart trembled.

However, there was not much panic.

Lu Cheng had explained it before, and they were more or less mentally prepared.

And now, the settlement is covered by land gods and protective shields.

Compared to the first wave of monsters, I feel so much more confident!
  In fact, many people looked eagerly.

They all saw the rewards from the last settlement defense battle.

If you can rank among the top 100, or even the top 10, on the merit list and get rewards, you might be able to soar into the sky!

"Quick, call everyone back and prepare for battle together!"

"Prepare more Origin Stone fragments to supplement the consumption of the protective shield!"

"Stick to the way we played last time? Who will be on my team?"

During the chat in the settlement, everyone quickly arranged their tactics and began to prepare for war.

And on the other side.

However, an additional reminder sounded in Lu Cheng's ears.

[Ding, your meritorious service value reaches 20,000, and you will receive the meritorious reward: City Lord Trial Runestones! 】

A white light flashed and a rune stone fell into his hand.

……

[City Lord Trial Runestones]

[You can only use it if you have the status of acting city lord. 】

[After use, the city lord trial task can be activated. If you pass the trial, you will gain the authority of the city lord. 】

[If not used within three days, the runestones will become invalid. 】

……

"The City Lord's mission is here..."

Lu Cheng raised his eyes.

He wasn't too surprised.

The reward content for earning 20,000 yuan in merit was not a secret in the previous life.

It's just that he saved up too quickly.

The settlement has not yet reached the second level, and the city master task has come.

Shaking his head slightly, Lu Cheng didn't use it.

If you want to gain the authority of the city owner, you must do this task.

Only, not now. The content of the City Lord’s Trial is random and the time it takes varies.

Right now, there are only three hours left for the monster wave, and there is no time.

There is no settlement that is ready to upgrade to level 2 without unlocking the protective shield. Therefore, the main force of this wave of monsters will be at level 16 as a base.

With the settlement's current combat power, it would be basically impossible to defend it if he couldn't return.

and……

Lu Cheng's thoughts moved slightly.

After the city lord passes the trial, a rating will be assigned.

The higher the rating, the better the rewards accordingly.

With three days left, he could completely increase his combat power before activating the trial.

Putting away the rune stones, Lu Cheng stretched out his hand and activated the Embrace of Source Energy.

"refining."

[Ding, you have successfully refined the pine tree monster (level 14), you will get the upper limit of source energy +1.9, and the upper limit of health +3. 】

[Ding, you have successfully refined the pine tree monster (level 14), you will get the upper limit of source energy +1.9, and the upper limit of health +3. 】

[Ding, the pine tree monster (level 14) was successfully refined...

……

Soon, the three level 14 monsters were refined, and Lu Cheng turned to the BOSS.

[Ding, if you successfully refine the Guardian Beast: Pine Tree Demon (level 14), you will get the source energy limit +22, the health limit +35, and the intelligence +3. 】

A ray of earth-yellow light surged up and submerged into Lu Cheng's body.

The refined pine tree demon actually added three points of intelligence attributes.

Lu Cheng was about to take back his hand.

But a system prompt suddenly sounded.

[Ding, the source energy gained from refining has reached 300 points, which has reached the current refining upper limit. You must exceed the upper limit before you can continue to accumulate! 】

"Has it reached the limit?"

Lu Cheng thought slightly and checked the panel.

Previously, his energy limit was 271 points.

Along the way, I killed monsters and refined the pine tree demon, and I actually reached the upper limit.

But fortunately, after breaking through the upper limit, you can continue to accumulate.

Lu Cheng glanced at the Embrace of Source Energy column and was happy.

This way of breaking through the upper limit was much simpler than he thought.

You only need to absorb a thousand Source Stone fragments and fill yourself with Source Energy to break through.

In other words, a total of only 1,300 Origin Stone fragments are needed...

Lu Cheng touched the ring on his hand.

Suddenly, a large number of Origin Stone fragments appeared in his hand.

Holding the Origin Stone fragments, Lu Cheng's mana flowed in his hands and was quickly absorbed.

After a moment.

The source stone fragments have been absorbed.

System prompts also follow.

[Ding, breakthrough successful! The upper limit of refining has been increased to one thousand points, and you can continue to accumulate source energy! 】

[Ding, the source energy embrace refining has exceeded the upper limit once, and the source energy illustrated book is unlocked! 】

[Current number of illustrations entered: 3, bonus: 0. 】

"Source Energy Illustrated Book?"

Lu Cheng's heart moved and he looked up.

I saw that under the original column of Embrace of Source Energy, there was an extra line of [Source Energy Illustrated Book].

As he watched, the Source Energy Illustrated Book unfolded into a curtain of light.

……

【Source Energy Illustrated Book】

[0-turn illustrated book: 1 pictures]

【Iron-eating black ant queen】

[Level 10, seal stone guardian beast. 】

[Originally a human being, he was cursed by the gods because the settlement hub was destroyed. He was assimilated with the settlement seal stone and descended into the secret realm. His wisdom has dissipated and his combat power has not reached the stars. 】

……

"This is……"

Lu Cheng's eyes lit up as he glanced at the Source Energy Illustrated Book.

　Today is Tuesday, please catch up on reading, please sir! ! (*/ω＼*)
