CHAPTER 529: BREAKTHROUGH, LEVEL UP! ( 2 )

Each vegetable only took fifty square meters since their harvest time was half of the beans and grains. Besides those, she also planted seasonings such as basil, ginger, cumin, anise, garlic, chili pepper, and mustard.

The seasonings took a total of five hundred fifty square meters. With one thousand square meters left, she used it to plant various trees that produced fruits, nuts, and oil.

After she arranged the farmland area, she checked the information and was delighted to find that not only did the yield increase from eighty kilograms per square meter to one hundred fifty kilograms per square meter, the harvest time also reduced from once every four days to once every day.

With the current production rate, she would be able to sell the supplies to other bases.

Then, she opened the pond’s information panel and saw that besides the energy contained in the water increasing from eighteen percent to thirty percent, the diameter and depth of the pond stayed the same.

The granary expanded from a two-story building to a five-story building, with the area of each floor staying the same.

The grassland increased from eighty hectares to two hundred hectares. With more area, she could store more supplies and expand the area for the mutant animals so they wouldn’t be too crowded.

Afterward, she checked the requirement to level up directly. She no longer bothered with the oxygen level requirement. After all, with so many crops and trees, her space was no longer lacking oxygen even if she stayed here forever.

At the current level, she needed fifty level one crystal cores to meet the daily consumption of the space’s energy. But with the black crystal planted in the space, the energy supply exceeded the demand, so the space wouldn’t absorb her crystal cores.

She was in a great mood until she saw the requirement needed to upgrade the space to level four was two hundred fifty thousand level-two crystal cores and the owner at level four.

The amount needed to upgrade the space had increased so much that she thought she was hallucinating. But after rubbing her eyes, she still saw the same numbers.

In the end, she could only let out a sigh and resign herself to fate. There was no way to slack off now.

After Jin Xuyan took a shower and changed his clothes, the two of them left the Space. The moment they reappeared in their bedroom, the sky had already brightened outside.

Checking her watch, Jiao Lizhi said, "Brother Yan, I should go to the water reservoir now."

Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Go ahead. I have something to discuss with Pei Yijun. When I’m done, I will pick you up."

"Okay."

The two of them left the house together. After he sent his fiancée to the water reservoir area, Jin Xuyan went to visit Pei Yijun. From the day his half-brother left the Jiangning City Base, he had already received the information from Yuan Ruiye.

He rode his bicycle to the cafeteria. At this time, Pei Yijun and his team should be there. Forty minutes later, he parked his bicycle outside the cafeteria.

The moment he entered, he noticed his team members were having breakfast. Sitting at the next table was Pei Yijun’s team.

While he had something to discuss with him, he didn’t go to find him directly but went to his team members’ table first.

Seeing their Captain, Xiao Qi waved his hand and shouted, "Captain, over here!"

After Jin Xuyan took his seat, Feng Yun asked, "Captain, have you eaten?"

"I have eaten," Jin Xuyan nodded.

Then, he glanced at his members and noticed an unfamiliar man sitting beside Li Sikai. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, "Brother Sikai, is this the man your team saved during the mission?"

Li Sikai had already reported Chen Wenwu’s situation to their Captain before and replied, "His name is Chen Wenwu. When we found him, he had undergone the second awakening phase."

With his name mentioned, Chen Wenwu stood up and introduced himself, "Hello, Captain. My name is Chen Wenwu, I am twenty years old, and I have an Ice-Type Ability."

After he finished his words, Jin Xuyan asked, "Did your previous ability mutate?"

Chen Wenwu nodded and replied, "I awakened a Water-Type Ability three days after the apocalypse. During the second rain, my Water-Type Ability turned into an Ice-Type Ability."

"So right now, you can only create ice and not water?" Jin Xuyan asked again.

This time, Chen Wenwu scratched the back of his head and said, "Captain, I tried to create water before, but instead of water, I created ice instead."

"Actually, you can try to control the temperature of your ice. After all, ice is created by lowering water temperature. If you can increase your ice’s temperature, you might be able to get water," Feng Yun suddenly said.

"If you are able to control your ability better, you might be able to increase your ice’s attack power. Right now, your ice spike is too fragile. Not to mention meeting solid weapons or shields, it is barely able to injure the enemies.

"But if you are able to lower the ice temperature and make it more solid, your attack might be able to shatter even a metal shield," he added thoughtfully.

Chen Wenwu was stunned by his words. He slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "How could I not think of it before?"

He looked at Feng Yun and praised, "Brother, you are so smart! This is a great idea. When I go back, I will try it out."

"You are overpraised," Feng Yun replied casually.

Jin Xuyan turned to Zhang Yuan and said, "Old Zhang, since we won’t take any missions for now, increase the combat and physical training, especially for the new members."

When he heard this, Zhang Yuan nodded. "Understood."

The old members were already used to the intense training in the military, so they didn’t have any opinions.

But for the new members, they were barely able to survive the current training schedule. If the Vice Captain increased their training again, they would lose a layer of skin, if not half of their lives, ah!
