[Select location.]
The screen showed a god's-eye view construction interface.
Bai Ye saw a 3D model of his Shelter and the shape and size of the Watchtower to be built.
His Shelter was underground, so the Watchtower couldn't be inside — it had to be outside.
After thinking, Bai Ye decided to build it right above the Shelter exit.
The Shelter's exit was a metal hatch that opened for climbing out.
He planned to connect the Watchtower to this exit and add another exit atop the Watchtower.
He started building.
Soon, everything was ready, and he clicked build.
Shimmering golden light appeared.
A prompt showed:
[Building...]
After three minutes, it changed to: [Construction complete.]
Bai Ye checked eagerly:
[Watchtower.]
[Special Shelter Building.]
[Trait 1: Light Absorption (absorbs surrounding light, plunging the Watchtower vicinity into darkness).]
[Trait 2: Light Storage (stores absorbed light, but usage requires special methods).]
[Trait 3: Observation (from the top of the Watchtower, can clearly see everything within 100 meters of the Shelter, unaffected by the Watchtower's own traits).]
"Ha, just as I thought."
Bai Ye laughed.
Three traits — a good special building.
Trait two had no use currently — light storage required upgrades and materials.
Still, two traits were enough.
"Now, to check the Watchtower."
It was above ground.
Bai Ye controlled his character to the Shelter exit, hesitating to open the metal hatch.
He feared flooding.
But after a moment, he opened it.
No water seeped in.
Inside was a dark corridor.
Climbing out, he saw a metal door — the Watchtower's exit, which he didn't open.
Instead, he looked up.
A spiral staircase led to the top.
He climbed and opened the top door.
A gale hit him.
Rain battered his face; thunder roared.
The disaster was visible.
The land was engulfed by raging floods, filled with mud, stones, trees — like wild beasts rampaging.
From the Watchtower, Bai Ye could see clearly within 100 meters, feeling the disaster's terror.
Everything he explored was swallowed.
The endless earth was now a vast ocean.
Most terrifying were the monsters hiding in the flood.
Bai Ye fixed his gaze on a huge figure crawling in the water.
It was about 100 meters long, gray-white skin, baby-like face, bulging forehead, sunken eyes glowing green.
Terrifying.
"Baby God!!"
Bai Ye whispered, recognizing the flood monster, inhaling sharply and averting his eyes to avoid attention.
Baby Gods were terrifying creatures, named for their infant-like face and divine nature infused by the Evil God's power.
Each disaster brought different monsters.
Baby Gods lived in oceans, coming ashore only during floods.
"Didn't expect one near my Shelter."
Bai Ye sighed with relief.
Good thing he hadn't carelessly opened the Shelter entrance earlier, or the Baby God might have found it.
Still, the monster's presence unnerved him, fearing his Shelter would be found and destroyed.
With current defenses, the Shelter couldn't stop such a creature.
Luckily, Bai Ye caught sight of the Baby God sinking into the flood, crawling away, eventually disappearing.
He relaxed and looked around.
Floods brought monsters but also opportunities.
With last life's experience, Bai Ye knew floods unearthed ancient artifacts buried in mountains and scattered them.
His eyes brightened as he saw a Wooden Chest floating nearby.
Of course, he wouldn't miss that.
He stayed on the Watchtower, knowing the flood was too deep to survive outside.
He crafted a rope and a simple hook using cloth and wood from the Synthesis Box.
"Good, one synthesis left today, just made this."
He took out Blood-Absorbing Gold and the Rotten Tachi, clicked combine.
[Synthesis success: Enchanted Rotten Tachi.]
[Enchanted Rotten Tachi.]
[Description: A tachi that causes enemy wounds to rot, extremely sharp, enchanted to cause bleeding as well, making it a deadly weapon.]
"Ha, it really became a bloody tachi."
Bai Ye smiled.
With this, his melee power would improve.
Suddenly, he felt odd.
"I'm a Mage, so I should be using a staff. Why am I thinking about swords?"
Maybe he subconsciously wanted to be a melee Mage.
"No, that's too dangerous — ranged Mage is better."
Scratching his head, he put the tachi away and headed to the Watchtower's top.
Time to get the Chest.
