Aethelgard: The Survival Game (Chloe) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

After thinking things through, Chloe decided to prioritize upgrading the Arcane Forge

First, she checked the requirements for its expansion.

[Arcane Forge: Unlocks adhtional magical forging functions. Specific features depend on the materials supplied!

[Expansion Requirements: Arcane Workbench, 2 by 3 blocks of soil.]

[Construction Requirements: 50 Premium Iron Ingots, 30 Premium or better Obsidian Crystals, 3 Epic High-Mana Energy Medium.]

Premium Iron Ingots weren’t difficult to obtain. After all, such materials were commonly traded in advanced trading circ

As for Obsidian Crystals… They were basically just Obsidian. She had already gathered twenty in the Forbidden Forest, so she was nearly good to go.

The hardest part was definitely obtaining the Epic High-Mana Energy Medium.

Having realized that Magic Media and Energy Crystals were essential whenever she wanted to build or craft anything magical, she resolved to hold onto any magical materials she came across in the future.

She glanced into her backpack, where she had stored the Mutant Fleece-Grass and the Charged Fire-Leech Moss, both still brimming with vitality. Even the Toxic Dream Lily she had dug up earlier remained miraculously alive.

The system displayed a health indicator beside each item.

[Mutant Fleece-Grass: Current Health: 67%]

[Charged Fire-Leech Moss: Current Health: 82%]

[Toxic Dream Lily: Current Health: 24%]

As expected… Even if living items were kept in her magical backpack or the system inventory, they could not maintain their vitality for long.

She became troubled.

It was nearly impossible for her to gather the necessary materials, transform the soil, and properly transplant the magic plants at the moment.

But watching three Epic magic plants wither away, especially the Mutant Fleece-Grass, capable of purifying the soil, broke her heart.

She once again felt the sting of being flat broke and the burning desire for more resources.

While she was hesitating, a thought struck her.

She suddenly remembered the Arcane Vault, a reward the system gave her when she upgraded her territory, which could store special magical materials. It had ten slots in total, and she hadn’t used any yet.

‘A system reward worthy of being called an S-rank building should have some additional functions, right?’ she wondered.

She decided to test her theory and placed the three magic plants into the Arcane Vault. Something surprising happened the moment they were inside: their statuses changed completely.

[Status: Frozen]

She tapped on the “Frozen” status and read the description that appeared.

[Frozen State: Permanently maintains the current state of stored items. No changes will occur to items while stored inside the Arcane Vault. Note: Time is suspended for any living beings placed inside |

It abruptly struck her that she had seriously underestimated the abilities of the S-rank Arcane Vault

‘It’s basically a magical freezer that keeps things fresh forever!’ she marveled inwardly.

In any case, she could finally breathe a little easier now that the three plants were safely stored away.

With her biggest concern resolved, she turned her attention to the extra haul she had collected.

Including the backpack she obtained from the Toxic Dream Lily and the seven Player backpacks from Dawn, she now had eight in total.

She also had Shana’s gift pack, which she received when she left the cabin, as well as the Silver Chest from the system, the reward for her new title.

‘Perfect timing,’ she thought. ‘It’d be awesome if I could get some High-Mana Energy Medium or Fire Elemental Crystals out of these.’

She started by opening the Player backpacks.

[Additional advanced-tier items have been reclaimed by the system. Item acquisition limit reached.]

[Advanced Material Recycling Reward: System Advanced Wish Chest granted.]

The flood of high-level loot absolutely floored Chloe.

All eight backpacks had been stuffed with incredible loot. It wasn’t until the system notified her that she had reached the acquisition limit for advanced-tier items that she finally snapped back to her senses. She blinked, stunned by just how insane

Just from their names alone, she could already tell these items were ridiculously overpowered.
