Chapter 130 Volcano Ant
"After working for a long time, the condition for system upgrade is to establish a territory and become a lord!"
Li Fan looked at the system prompt, and was about to choose to upgrade the system, when a row of small characters at the back suddenly made him stop.
[Ding, this upgrade will consume 10,000 bond points and take 24 hours, during which system functions will not be available. 】
"10,000 bond points? Dog system, don't meow too much."
Li Fan is about to blow up, although upgrading the system always has to pay a price, but 10,000 bond points are too much, where did he get 10,000 bond points?
Thinking about it, Li Fan glanced at his system panel.
【Host: Li Fan】
[Realm: Level 3 Warrior]
【Power: 23000】
[Physique: 23000]
[Agility: 13000]
[Spirit: 23000]
[Talent: Elven Talent 02, Orc Talent 134%, Dwarf Talent 72]
[Talent Skills: Nature Affinity 01, Beastization 3, Quick Recovery 5, Level 1 Poison Resistance, Level 1 Magic Resistance]
[Comprehension skills: four or two to pull a thousand catties 20]
[Bond value: 13000 points]
It was only then that Li Fan discovered that after these months of accumulation, excluding what was consumed on weekdays, he unexpectedly had a full 13,000 bond points without knowing it.
Looking at it this way, he can't afford 10,000 bond points.
Besides, now he can rely on his favorability to gain 261 bond points every day, and he can earn back 10,000 bond points in 40 days.
Thinking of this, although Li Fan was heartbroken, he finally reluctantly clicked on the upgrade system.
[The upgrade starts. This upgrade takes 24 hours, during which the system functions cannot be used. 】
[Remaining upgrade time 23:59:59]
As for the inability to use system functions during the upgrade, Li Fan doesn't care.
...
Seeing that he has become a lord, Li Fan began to think about what to do in the future.
The first thing is very clear, he needs to do a good job in the infrastructure of the valley.
Now that the wind and snow have just stopped, and the surrounding ice and snow have not yet begun to melt, those who left the gathering place of the four major clans will not come back so soon.
Li Fan reckons they have at least a week or two left.
And this period is extremely critical.
Li Fan will build a real city gate at the mouth of the valley during this period of time, and at the same time build fortifications to completely control the valley in their hands.
In addition, the houses have to be rebuilt. Although the houses in the sinful town and the hillside can also be lived in, according to the long-term plan, these houses are inseparable from the fate of being demolished.
These plans require the participation of cement.
This time, Li Fan does not intend to continue to use plant ash cement. The quality of plant ash cement is still a bit poor. Now that he can choose, Li Fan naturally chooses better Roman cement.
The real name of Roman cement is actually ancient Roman concrete, and its composition is very simple.
Ancient Roman concrete = quicklime + volcanic ash + water + sand + gravel
Water, sand, and gravel are not difficult to obtain.
And quicklime can be obtained from limestone, which is available in salt mines, so it is not a problem.
All that's missing now is volcanic ash.
Fortunately, the path of the volcanic ash also has clues.
Anna and the others once mentioned that there is a volcano in the inner area of the sinful forest. They gave up when they ran out of time, but now it seems that they still have to go there.
Li Fan thought of this, and immediately went to find Anna.
At the beginning, Li Fan knew about the existence of volcanoes from Anna. Even if Anna had never been to a volcano, she would know more about it.
"Master, do you need volcanic ash?"
After becoming the lord, everyone called Li Fan the lord.
Li Fan felt pretty good at the beginning, until he heard Dina Dozina and the others call it that way, and suddenly felt a sense of strangeness between himself and them.
This is not possible, Li Fan is still counting on their favorability to reach 3 stars sooner, how can they make the relationship between them feel unfamiliar.
So under Li Fan's strong request, Dina and the others did not choose to directly call Li Fan's name, but called him Master Li Fan in a compromise.
"Yes, I need a lot of volcanic ash to make ancient Roman concrete better than plant ash cement."
Although Anna didn't know what ancient Roman concrete was, she was still deeply impressed by the magic of plant-wood gray cement.
In a short period of time, a series of 'stone houses' that are several times stronger than wooden houses were built.
If the orcs could also have such magical things as plant gray cement, maybe there wouldn't be so many old and young orcs frozen to death every winter.
However, ancient Roman concrete was actually better than plant ash cement, and Anna immediately became interested in this ancient Roman concrete.
But when Anna thought of the situation on the volcano, she couldn't help frowning.
Seeing this, Li Fan knew that the volcano must be a troublesome place.
In the end, it did not exceed Li Fan's expectations.
According to Anna, the volcano is still an active volcano, and you can see magma when you climb to the top of the mountain.
Therefore, the temperature around the volcano will be relatively high. Even if the ice and snow haven't melted yet, there are monsters already active around it.
The most troublesome among them is a kind of monster called Volcano Ant.
Volcanic ants are only level 1 monsters, and their individual strength is not strong. However, their number is extremely terrifying. There are often tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of volcanic ants in a nest.
Although these volcano ants are not strong, it is not easy to kill them.
They are not big, only half a meter long, and their petite bodies are not easy to hit. The most troublesome thing is that they have an extremely hard shell on the surface of their bodies. It is difficult for ordinary weapons to pierce the hard shell on their surface.
In addition, there are two giant jaws growing on their mouths. The giant jaws are not only powerful, but also contain a toxin called fire poison. die.
All in all, it is troublesome, and dealing with these volcano ants is completely high risk and low return.
If you want to crush them, you can only dispatch a large number of level 2 fighters, otherwise you will suffer heavy losses.
"A large number of level 2 fighters..."
Li Fan and the others now only have seven level 2 fighters, plus three level 3 fighters including him, Ying, and Anna.
Exactly ten people, there is a big gap from the word "mass".
