After settling the deal, Wang Si left.
Bai Ye explained clearly that forging weapons was possible but materials were self-provided, and he required three pieces of Rare Metal.
This included weapon blanks and Rare Metals.
Strictly speaking, this was Bai Ye's attempt to solidify his forging talent and set a price, so future forging requests could be based on this.
Prices would not go down, only up.
After Wang Si left, Bai Ye began organizing his gains.
First, the Skill Rune, which he immediately used.
He quickly learned the new magic, Absorption Shield.
Casting it, dark ink-like energy surrounded him, forming a barrier.
The shield was strong, able to absorb a lot of damage.
In dangerous moments, it could block deadly threats.
Besides the Skill Rune, he had materials and Blueprints.
Elemental Spirit Gold was especially important.
It looked like colorful metal but contained many elemental energies inside, hence the name.
In his previous life, it was good forging material.
Bai Ye chose it as greenhouse construction material due to its special attributes fitting his greenhouse plans.
Other stones—Mountain-Calming Stone, Volcanic Stone, Magic Stone—each had uses.
Mountain-Calming Stone was for Shelter evolution, a heavy stone that greatly enhanced Shelter strength and physical defense.
Volcanic Stone was needed for the Hot Spring Blueprint.
Magic Stone, a blue stone containing Magical Power, was for synthesis attempts.
As a Mage, more Magical Power items were better.
After gathering everything, Bai Ye controlled his character to the Flower Sprite's bud.
"Little guy, you'll wake up soon."
Smiling, Bai Ye took out the greenhouse Blueprint.
Materials ready, after placing, he began construction.
A dazzling light appeared on screen.
Moments later, a greenhouse appeared in the Shelter's far right corner.
About 100 square meters.
Half the walls were triple-layered wood, stone, and iron sandwich, with wood planks inside covered by grass.
The other half was glass, clear from outside.
The greenhouse had a glass door; Inside looked like open land filled with soil.
Water outlets were at four corners but not connected to a water source yet.
Five light bulbs hung from the ceiling.
One was a daylight lamp emitting sunlight.
The other four simulated the four seasons via Elemental Spirit Gold.
Constantly adjusting seasonal temperatures.
[Greenhouse.]
[Description: Special Shelter building.]
[Feature 1: Four Seasons (temperature adjusts based on planted plants).]
[Feature 2: Light Energy (sunlight provides extra nutrients).]
[Feature 3: Planting (can grow any plant, ordinary or extraordinary, though growth of extraordinary plants isn't guaranteed).]
Looking at the Shelter panel and greenhouse details, Bai Ye's eyes brightened.
Thanks to Elemental Spirit Gold, the greenhouse had good attributes.
Soil quality was poor though; better soil would improve quality.
But dark hadn't fallen yet, and real-world materials couldn't be used.
The game world flooded, finding good soil was near impossible—had to make do.
Inside the greenhouse, Bai Ye looked around and sighed, "Too small, only for some special plants."
He didn't expect to secure stable food supplies with it.
How much food could fit here?
Besides, the Shelter wouldn't only have him.
As a rebirth player, he had ambitions.
He planned large farms and ranches later.
Still, the greenhouse was valuable for growing Extraordinary plants.
Many extraordinary plants in the Land of Darkness had powerful effects.
Like rare treasures.
Some special potions required extraordinary plants as materials.
The greenhouse finished, Bai Ye immediately transplanted the Flower Sprite's body into the center.
As he covered the soil, the sunlight from the ceiling warmed noticeably.
The greenhouse seemed automated, adjusting temperature to help the Flower Sprite recover.
The nutrients in the light were better than normal sunlight, helping plant growth.
"Too bad it's not infinite energy."
Bai Ye squinted at the daylight lamp.
Its core was just one Sun Crystal Stone, not infinite power—would need replenishing.
Currently, no way to replenish.
Fortunately, it would last at least a month.
By then, when the Land of Darkness descended on reality, he'd upgrade the Shelter and have replenishment.
The Watchtower walls looked like scattered starlight, glowing faintly in the dark.
The Watchtower absorbed light energy daily.
Though the environment limited daily absorption, long-term accumulation was significant.
Eventually, the Watchtower's energy alone could power the greenhouse.
Shaking his head, Bai Ye gently opened the bud to look at the Flower Sprite inside.
It was visibly rosier.
Likely to wake soon.
Flower Sprite—something he didn't have last life.
Only admired others and envied them.
This life, he'd make others envy him.
After a while in the Shelter, Bai Ye went to the Watchtower's top to check for Chests.
Opening the top door, the view was as usual.
Floodwaters surged like ancient beasts swallowing all.
In the murky water, many monster shapes appeared, making his scalp tingle.
Suddenly, Bai Ye raised his eyebrows with delight.
"The rain is lighter?"
Previously, the rain was torrential and overwhelming by sound alone.
Now, in the Land of Darkness, the rain was tapering off to a drizzle.
This likely meant one thing.
The disaster was gradually receding.
Thinking this, Bai Ye smiled.
Definitely good news.
Soon, he could explore freely in the game world.
Just hoping the flood would vanish soon.
Seeing no Chests below, Bai Ye returned to the Shelter, then quit the game and played with his little tiger, watching shows and browsing shopping sites.
Time passed.
After dinner, night fell.
Bai Ye slept early, showered, dried his hair, and rested with the little tiger.
The night grew deep.
But M City's city was just coming alive.
Neon lights, busy traffic.
For many, nightlife was just starting.
Outside Bai Ye's home, two figures stood quietly staring at his window.
Blond hair, blue eyes—foreigners in casual wear, like tourists.
One checked the time and whispered, "Time's about right. Get ready, act soon, finish quickly, and leave the country."
The other frowned, "Before we act, I have to ask—are you sure we can get out clean?"
"This guy's an Extraordinary Power Player. Killing him is one thing, but we're kidnapping him this time, quietly. Are you sure you can do it?"
"If we mess up, we all die here."
"Relax, I'm ready."
Newt smiled, a flicker of crimson in his eyes.
"Though he wields Extraordinary power, so do I."
The blond foreigner felt a chill but smiled.
"You also have Extraordinary power? Incredible. No wonder your group dares to act against X Nation."
"If so, I trust you. I'll wait here. Bring him out, and I'll ensure he's sent abroad tonight."
Newt nodded.
"Wait for good news."
He stepped toward Bai Ye's house, melting into the darkness until gone.
