Spellcasting is a Permanent Addition and My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells

Chapter 22 Is there a sixth child? Settlement Hub is open to you! [Please read it! 】

 Source energy, this is not something that should appear in this period at all!

 In his previous life, he unlocked source energy at level 67, which was already very fast. The average level was more than 90 levels.

Even an incredible figure like the Dharma God of Great Xia can only be unlocked at level 50.

 And now…

 As long as he reaches level ten, he can be unlocked immediately!

 “This reward is a bit too supermodel...”

 Lu Cheng lowered his head and looked at the inheritance stone in his hand.

 Energy skills are used to increase skill damage.

For a long time in the previous life, this type of skill was regarded as useless, because the source energy could not be automatically restored, and could only be replenished by absorbing source stones, and it could only amplify a single skill, which was too cost-effective.

 Until the Japanese nation launched natural selection, a master of the undead system stood up.

He accumulated 100,000 source energy, which can increase his skills a thousand times. Standing at the border of Daxia, a rain of evil spirit bones poured out 100,000 sources of energy, killing the Japanese army and defeating them!

Just that rain of evil spirit bones killed tens of thousands of invaders!

“I’ll learn this skill when I reach level 10.”

 After calming down, Lu Cheng put away the skill inheritance stone.

 There is 1 skill point when you reach level 10, and there is also 1 point in the bronze level mission reward. The total is just enough.

 Finish counting the rewards.

 Lu Cheng looked at the mechanical giant corpse again.

 Elite monsters and the black iron BOSS exploded the equipment before he had time to collect it.

 A fireball blasted away the obstacle, revealing several flashes of light.

Compared with the previous ultra-high rewards, the equipment revealed was a bit shabby. Only the blue light of the BOSS crystal core flashed in the white light on the ground.

Lu Cheng stepped forward and took a look. If there was nothing he could use, he put it away in the storage space.

 Then, look at the BOSS crystal core.

  The crystal core of the mechanical BOSS has a different name, it is called the mechanical center.

 What surprised Lu Cheng was.

 In the blue light, there are not one BOSS crystal core, but two!

 …

 【Mechanical hub: Earth drilling machine】

 【Quality: Black Iron Grade】

  【Description: Level 8 BOSS: The crystal core of the earth-drilling machine, which seems to contain some kind of energy. 】

 …

 【Mechanical Hub: Adaptive A-shaped Mechanical Explorer】

 【Quality: Black Iron Grade】

 …

 Put away these two crystal nuclei.

 Lu Cheng’s lips curled up.

There was obviously only one BOSS, but two crystal cores exploded.

 The truth is very clear.

 It was the mechanical explorer who became the sixth boss, stabbed the original BOSS in the back, and replaced him, taking charge of the beast tide.

 In this wave of monsters, the original eighth-level BOSS should be an underground drilling machine!

 After all, no matter how you look at it, this name is more suitable for the earth-penetrating robot.

 At this time, Lu Cheng became more and more sure.

This mechanical explorer most likely came from a certain ruins!

 Otherwise, the eighth-level monsters in the early stage of the disaster are far from possessing this kind of wisdom.

 Such a monster can only exist in the ruins!

Thinking of the ruins, Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

 Every ruins in the past life is almost equivalent to a life restricted area!

 Originally, it only swallowed the lives of explorers.

Until the Earth-Splitting Rebellion broke out, the restrictive formations of the ruins collapsed, and monsters in the ruins appeared one after another, causing immeasurable heavy casualties to Daxia!

Even Xiao Muxue, who was invincible at the time, died in the turmoil of the cracked earth.

　　The earth-shattering turmoil in the previous life was a scar carved into the history of Daxia.

However, Lu Cheng never embarrassed himself, and his brows soon relaxed.

The Earth-Shattering Rebellion occurred in the eighth year of the Cataclysmic Era. Before that, there was a restriction circle, and the really big guys couldn't leave the depths of the ruins.

Such a long time is enough for him to grow up, kill all the monsters in the ruins, and take away the treasures in the ruins.

“However, you can pay attention to this ruins.”

Lu Cheng's mind changed and he set the unearthed remains of the Lingtai as his future goal.

 Then, look towards the settlement hub. Not far next to him, the small bronze tree sapling was growing, and its growth was visible to the naked eye.

 After victory in the settlement guard battle, the settlement hub will also be improved, and the bonus provided is also not small!

 “Growing so fiercely?”

 Looking at the progress bar, Lu Cheng was a little surprised.

 Maybe it’s because the intensity of the monster wave exceeds the standard.

 The upgrade progress of the Settlement Hub has also increased rapidly.

 Now, it has reached 90%, and there is no intention of stopping.

 According to this progress, it is possible to directly upgrade to level 1 in one wave!

 “If you can upgrade to level 1...it will be easier to deal with the wave of monsters that follow!”

Lu Cheng said sincerely.

 Settlement Hub will attract nearby monsters, forming a continuous wave of monsters. Tonight’s is just the first wave.

 Before the settlement was completely upgraded to a city, the tide of monsters was completely constant, one after another.

However, the most dangerous ones are the first few waves.

 Because, after experiencing several waves of monsters, when the settlement hub reaches level 1, the protective shield function will be unlocked!

 In the early stages of the disaster, the protective shield was still very high.

 As long as the protective shield in the early stage is opened, monsters cannot attack at all, and it can even be used to gain experience.

 By then, the defensive battle will be much easier and won't be as brutal as tonight.

Not just a shield, the settlement hub has many functions, which will be unlocked as you upgrade.

 Among them, many functions are quite easy to use!

 And the subsequent upgrade to a city, the attribute bonus of the city lord's position...

 Lu Cheng looked at the bronze tree with some expectation in his heart.

 This is what he lacked in his previous life. The settlement he lived in was destroyed from the beginning and he has been displaced.

 If the settlement can be successfully upgraded to a high level, the bonus will be considerable!

A few minutes later.

The bronze tree grew to be as tall as a person, and finally stopped growing. There was a raised bud on the top of the tree, as if it was pregnant with fruit.

 Then, the system notification sounded.

 【Announcement: The settlement hub level has been upgraded, and settlement No. 1024 has been upgraded to a first-level settlement! 】

  【Settlement upgrade, area increased five times! Protective shield function unlocked! Redemption function unlocked! All members of the settlement gain +10% experience from killing monsters! 】

 Following this announcement.

 The pale green light film covering the settlement spread like a blown soap bubble.

 Suddenly, there was another surprise and cheer in the settlement!

This time, the light film of the settlement directly encompasses the neighboring community, making it so spacious!

 Lu Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the settlement hub.

 …

  【Settlement code: No. 1024】

 Exchange for items unlocked at level 1: Frontier order, pig iron, wood, coal, 19 types of food, drinking water...]

  【The level is not met, and the remaining functions are not unlocked】

 …

 “Is the redemption function also unlocked?”

Looking at the panel of the settlement hub, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

 The next moment, a system prompt sounded.

  【Because you have the highest military exploits, the settlement hub has been opened to you! 】
