City Flight Management Center

In Lan Qingyou's eyes, shelter upgrades were essentially a system for completing the facilities prepared specifically for them, the Blue Star people.

So, before every upgrade, she would build a basic version of the facility she wanted.

Whether it was the initial herb fields or the current City Flight Management Center, it was always the same. This was the biggest reason why she had come up with this project.

Actually, the entire city of Eureka was currently running on Lan Qingyou's talent, which had already had its weight limit removed.

Although Lan Qingyou, who no longer faced any restrictions, could make the city drift at any time without issue...

She was still human, after all.

While she could go without sleep for ten days or even half a month, she still needed rest eventually.

Furthermore, considering the possibility of falling unconscious or other similar scenarios, it was necessary to have a secondary flight system in place for such emergencies.

Witch of the Tower: "Steel *1000, Obsidian *10000, Thorium *800, Mana Conductor *10000, Ksuya Cell Components *10000..."

Steel Witch: "I have over thirty mana conductors left here."

Summoning Witch: "I have some cell components left too."

Moonlight Witch: "I have some as well."

Thorn Witch: "I've sent them over to you."

Since these were all parts for flying devices, many witches had spares on hand.

Now that Lan Qingyou needed these items so badly, they naturally gave them all up.

After all, they were all well aware of the project.

Everything, including the Level 7 shelter upgrade, fell within the scope of the project.

So, when Lan Qingyou posted a list of materials without a word, everyone understood what it meant.

Posting the list meant that the final step of their project—'using the shelter upgrade to drive the upgrade of the entire flight system'—had been successfully reached.

All that remained was gathering the materials needed for the upgrade.

Moreover, compared to the wave of materials required for the shelter upgrade itself, the materials for the facilities were relatively simple, mostly consisting of existing components.

The quantity might be higher, even reaching absurd levels, but it wasn't a major problem.

Thus, everyone began producing the materials Lan Qingyou needed.

As for Lan Qingyou...

After sending out the list, she turned her gaze elsewhere.

This time, besides the 【City Flight Management Center】, there was another thing she desperately wanted to upgrade.

That was the 【Perching Giant Tree】, which had appeared not long after her shelter reached Level 6.

If this tree were just a giant tree like before, it certainly wouldn't have appeared in the options.

However, because of the Ancient Tree Branch, it had become a 'Perching Giant Tree' where flying monsters could live. Having gained this functionality, it naturally became part of the shelter's facilities.

To be honest.

Back when she designed the Five Dragon Reincarnation Protection Magic Circle to link these five giant trees, Lan Qingyou had already anticipated this day would come.

After all, the Ancient Tree Branch was in her hands at the time.

Now, she could finally give this thing a boost.

Although the Perching Giant Tree had grown, it was still only in its juvenile stage.

Furthermore, according to Diana's reports, several branches had been sawn off during the Abandoned War.

So, whether for the sake of upgrading or repairing it, it was now necessary for Lan Qingyou to effectively enhance it.

And just like the City Flight Management Center, the upgrade for the Perching Giant Tree was not as strict as the shelter upgrade itself.

Or rather, the primary materials for upgrading these things were actually part of the shelter's own upgrade.

Lan Qingyou guessed that the Beast Emperor Ore was the so-called facility core for the Perching Giant Tree.

After all, she really couldn't understand why an alchemist's shelter—a place full of plants—would need Beast Emperor Ore to upgrade.

While ore is indeed related to alchemy...

The core of the Beast Emperor Ore was undoubtedly in the words 'Beast Emperor'.

This perfectly matched the flying monsters on the Perching Giant Tree.

However, unlike the City Flight Management Center, Lan Qingyou naturally wouldn't trouble the other witches for the Perching Giant Tree's upgrade.

Even though this thing also held high practical value for the other witches and no one would complain if she asked them for materials, she felt differently.

To Lan Qingyou, this was an essential part of her own shelter.

It wasn't her habit to leave such an important place in the hands of others.

If she actually did that, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

However, while the core materials were no longer needed, other materials still had to be prepared.

Tower: "@Justice, does the Supreme Council have any Millennium Tree Branches?"

Justice: "I'm not sure. I'll have to ask to find out. What's it for?"

Tower: "Materials for the Level 7 shelter upgrade."

Justice: "Got it. I'll ask for you right away."

As soon as he heard it was for the Level 7 shelter upgrade, Chu Yuan's spirit was instantly roused.

No joke; this was something that should have been completed a year ago.

But because of a leak, an act of sabotage, and a war, it had been delayed for over a year before new progress was finally made.

To be honest, it wasn't just Chu Yuan; everyone in the Villa wanted to know what a Level 7 shelter looked like.

Because of the war and the series of major events that followed, as well as the establishment of the Adventurer City, there were now very few people on the Kalim continent who honestly upgraded their shelters like they used to.

No one was a fool.

Rather than sinking limited resources into the bottomless pit of shelter upgrades, it was better to use those resources to improve one's own strength.

At the very least, selling them for money could lead to a life ten thousand times better than before, without the constant fear.

After all, living in the Adventurer City meant they didn't have to worry about the mana turbulence and mana tides that they had to deal with back at their shelters.

In fact, because of the formation of the city and its markets, it didn't even matter if they didn't step outside for days.

So now, except for a few people who truly had more resources than they knew what to do with, no one was willing to waste resources on shelter upgrades, no matter how rich they were.

Even organizations that seemed large, such as the Knights or the Demon Hunters, felt the same.

And that was not even mentioning the people within the Villa.

Although they, like Lan Qingyou, knew the benefits of upgrading shelters and facilities...

They still had to consider the costs when it came time to actually do it.

After all, not everyone was as lacking in a sense of security as Lan Qingyou, and thus willing to invest in safety without limits.

Consequently, after Lan Qingyou expressed her desire to upgrade in the group, these guys all rushed in to watch the excitement.

They were even willing to donate materials for free if she was only short a few.

If for nothing else, they just wanted to see it and broaden their horizons.
