“Pfft!”

The Heavenly Crafting Saber swept out fiercely, directly cutting off the mantis’s lightning-fast forelimbs. Then, with irresistible force, it slashed at the mantis with a whoosh.

The saber cut the mantis in half with irresistible force!

[K.O!]

[Earthling XX wins. Time taken: 1.6 seconds.]

Instant kill!

However, the difference was that the target of this insta-kill was the mantis insectoid!

“Hiss!”

The people watching the battle gasped, and then the humans cheered.

“Invincible! Who is this? Invincible!”

“F*ck! A martial arts expert! He must be a martial arts expert!”

“Ya! Brother is so awesome. I want your name, photo, and number!”

“Insects can look up from the bottom of our shoes. So handsome! So handsome!”

“Where are the bugs that were clamoring just now? Come on, continue to clamor!”

The entire chat room was flooded with humans. They were either worshipping Luo Yu or mocking the Zergs.

This time, Luo Yu gave many people hope. Humans could also be so powerful!

[You have defeated your opponent. In order to facilitate your next entry into the virtual arena, you can leave a code name.]

“Code name?”

“Then there’s only one word: Yu.”

Immediately, Luo Yu’s name in the arena changed from Earthling XX to Yu.

“Yu! It’s a Chinese name!”

“Brother Yu, you are the hero in my heart.”

“Brother Yu, which area are you from?”

“Good, very good. Yu, right? We will go and call for help now. If you have the guts, don’t leave.”

Ignoring the various comments in the chat room, Luo Yu directly took the money and left.

Looking at his personal account, the amount of silver had reached 6,800. Originally, even if he won 2,000, it would only amount to 5,300. The rest was the admission fee for the audience. It was a huge profit.

“Let me see what I can buy.”

He opened the mall and browsed through it. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly realized that there was a small notification that had been ignored previously. This notification was received because he had received a critical hit when he bought things in the mall previously. It stated that before the end of the month, he would not be able to receive another critical hit in the mall!

Now, there would be a limit to the number of critical hits in the mall. It was unfortunate since Luo Yu was still thinking about exploiting it!

“Eh? Wait a minute, this notification…”

Luo Yu opened the map by chance and found a row of small red words on the top right corner of the map: 28 days until the end of the month.

He hurriedly clicked on it and his forehead was quickly covered in sweat.

Before the end of each month, there would be a hardcore attack. The intensity of the attack would be stronger than ordinary random events, and it would be the greatest threat to the trial-takers!

Luo Yu immediately sent a regional chat message.

Luo Yu said, “Look at the map. Is there a hint of an attack at the end of the month?”

Fang Yumeng said, “Really, I’m going to faint. What should we do? My sisters and I have just built a wooden house…”

Alice: “Everyone has to work hard to survive!”

The group chat exploded, and everyone felt a sense of urgency.

As Luo Yu spoke to everyone, he quickly thought in his heart. The construction of the wall had to be accelerated, and the defense facilities of the base had to be put on the agenda!

He opened the research interface and saw that many technology had not been unlocked. He carefully looked at the defense-type technology tree. There were traps, shooting towers, watchtowers, and so on. However, Luo Yu’s gaze fell on one of the columns.

[Automatic Crossbow: It can be installed on walls, shooting towers, and other places. It can aim at the enemy with automatically loaded bolts.]

Automatic!

For Luo Yu, who was the only person in the base, this was undoubtedly the best choice. However, there was a problem. If he wanted to unlock the technology tree, there was a prerequisite research option: [Base Automatic Defense Core]

The research fund of 5,000 silver might be acceptable, but the materials needed to be prepared by him.

Silver 3,000, Jade 200, Gold 200, and a beast soul core. The price was ridiculous!

Of course, the automatic defense core device that was made was extremely difficult to damage and could be carried around. Once created, it could be used forever.

Originally, Luo Yu had wanted to build a small ranch to increase the success rate of beast taming or till some soil to cultivate and accelerate the growth of plants. Now, it seemed that automatic defense technology was the most important thing!

Only by living could one have the capital to develop and grow.

Luo Yu engraved these words on the wooden table and also engraved the next development plan, reminding himself at all times.

Objective: Create a hard city wall and unlock automatic technology by the end of the month, aiming for the automatic crossbows!

Without much hesitation, Luo Yu spent 5,000 silver to unlock the automatic defense core technology. He kept the remaining 1,800 silver for now.

Looking at the time, there were still three hours before nightfall. Luo Yu carried the Heavenly Crafting Saber on his back and carried his pickaxe before heading to the mine.

The harder the stone bricks used to build the wall, the better. Ordinary stones on the grassland could no longer satisfy Luo Yu’s needs. The mine could produce hard stone raw materials like black spot stones, and there was a certain chance of digging up rare ores like jade, gold, and silver.

So of course, he was going to mine now!

As for the stones that had been cut, he could make something else with them. The stone bricks were still very useful.

The mine was close to the purple mountain range, but it was still relatively safe.

Walking into the cave, there were oil lamps on both sides of the rock wall. These were all here from the beginning. They could not be moved, and there was no need to add any oil or tinder.

After a while, he reached the end of the mine. In front of him was a rock wall that emitted a weak blue light. Without a word, Luo Yu used a pickaxe to climb up and dig.

There was nothing.

[Mining failed. Your mining experience has increased.]

Because the Mining level was only LV0, it was normal for it to fail.

Another pickaxe fell, and this time, an irregular black stone with spots rolled down from the glowing rock wall. It was a black spot stone.

The drop rate of such stones was quite high, but the drop rate of rare ores was ridiculously low.

BANG!

BANG!

Under the continuous mining, hard rocks like black spot stones and granite kept rolling out. Because Luo Yu’s basic attributes were high, even if the mining level was insufficient, the efficiency was still very impressive.

After a while, a small hill was piled up beside him.

[Mining Level increased to Level 1]

“I’ve finally leveled up.”

Luo Yu exhaled and stretched his shoulders, planning to rest. He looked at the pile of stones in front of him and realized that moving them was also a problem.

At this moment, he realized that he was not alone. He had a dog.

No, a wolf!

With a whistle, the green wolf, Dumby, who was patrolling the fields, quickly ran over. In a moment, it rushed into the mine and affectionately rubbed against Luo Yu’s pants.

“Dumby, bring twenty pieces of wood over.”

“Wuwu.”

The green wolf immediately went over. It was very efficient and quickly transported 20 units of wood over.
