nOnce again recorded:

n2 wind runes, 3 water runes, 3 fire runes, 2 earth runes.

nAfter two rounds of exchange.

nIt was one step closer to the requirements for Intermediate Rune Base Upgrade Scroll.

nIron, copper, wood, and stone had already exceeded 200 units.

nEach rune required 20 pieces.

nThe wind runes and fire runes were sufficient. He was only short of 3 earth runes and 4 water runes.

nSoul requirement was 30. There were already 50 souls, which was far more than needed.

nGold, silver, and crystal required 20 units. Currently, he was only short of 1 crystal.

n‘Taking advantage of the lunch break to gather the materials, I’ll level up the runic base.’

nAfter Klein finished clearing the materials, he opened the trading market.

nFirst, he settled on the crystals.

nAfter a simple search, he found quite a number of players who were selling them.

n1. The trade requirement is 1 meat, or 200 ml of water.

nKlein chose to trade with meat.

nHe gathered the materials.

nHe was left with 3 earth runes and 4 water runes…

nKlein scanned his surroundings.

nMost of the runes were only used to exchange for weapons or blueprints. They rarely exchanged for food or water.

nThere were a few times, but the moment they were put up, they were immediately snatched away by others.

nKlein racked his brains for more than ten minutes and only succeeded three times. He exchanged for 1 wind, 1 water, and 1 fire.

nWhen he lost his patience, a runic crossbow and a magic cup were successfully sold!

nSystem notification: Excellent Magic Cup-1

nSystem notification: Transaction completed. Water Rune 2

nSystem notification: Perfect Runic Crossbow-1

nSystem notification: Transaction completed. Wind Rune 5, Fire Rune 1, Water Rune 1, Earth Rune 1

nThe two messages were one after the other.

nThe runic crossbow and magic cup were purchased by the same person.

nThe materials for the Intermediate Rune Base Upgrade Scroll were still not gathered.

nTwo earth runes short!

nKlein decided to lower the price of one of the runic crossbows.

nFrom 8 runes to 6 runes.

n‘Colleagues, continue scrolling through the trading channel.’

nFifteen minutes later.

nKlein didn’t need to wait for the runic crossbows or magic cups to be sold. Roger and another member of the regional channel returned the runes one after another.

nThey could have given 2 different runes.

nHowever, Klein emphasized the need for earth runes.

nRoger returned 1 earth rune and 1 water rune.

nThe other person also had 2 earth runes.

nOnly then was the materials needed for the intermediate level upgrade gathered!

nAt that moment.

nKlein removed the intermediate rune base upgrade scroll and held it tightly.

nOnce used, the resource consumption would be huge.

n‘I wonder what will happen after this upgrade?!’

nHe was more or less looking forward to it and excited.

nThis wave will consume more than half of my wealth. I hope that the upgrade will bring a pleasant surprise.

n“Come, use the scroll!” Klein read.

nAnother large amount of materials had been deducted.

nKlein felt his heart ache.

nThe scroll in his hand glowed with silver light!

nIt was similar to the last time.

nIt turned into a lot of ashes.

nThe number of ashes increased like a black mass of mosquitoes.

nThey flew in all directions.

nThe entire runic base began to tremble slightly.

nWherever the ashes went, the ground, ceiling, and walls were growing larger and taller.

nIt was a visible change in speed.

nLittle Fox was slightly calm. She had experienced it the last time.

nLittle Wind looked around, not knowing what to do.

nSystem notification: The runic base has been upgraded!

nSystem notification: Perfect Runic Base>Rare Runic Base

nThe trembling of the runic base gradually lessened.

nIt regained its stability.

n“Is this the upgraded base?”

nKlein looked around.

nThe runic base was completely different from before.

nThe interior was resplendent, like a hall.

nNow, he was upgrading the hall on the second floor of the runic base. Just the size of the hall had doubled.

nThe entire floor was no longer square. It seemed to have become circular.

nKlein came to the back and found another room.

nFurthermore, the bedroom was very spacious.

nThere were glass windows, and the bedroom had more light than before.

nKlein went to the stairwell again.

nLooking down, it was no longer just the second floor, but a full five floors!

n“The area has expanded quite a bit. There are three more floors!”

nKlein was surprised and delighted.

nHe went down to the fourth floor to check.

nThere were bedrooms, kitchens, and a hall.

nThe area was larger than the previous floor.

nThen, he went down to the third floor.

nThe layout was slightly different.

nThe entire hall was like a training ground, with targets, sandbags, and the like.

nThe floor area continued to increase.

nHe went down another floor.

nThe second floor was empty, and the area expanded a little.

nFinally, there was the ground floor. The area had increased the most, roughly three times the original size.

nAll the buildings that had been built before were still there.

nThe first floor was a little messy, but after the upgrade, it became a little empty!

n“Let’s take a look outside.”

nKlein pushed open the large iron door and walked out of the runic base.

nPhew!

nHe flew into the air.

nThe entire catacomb was large and tall enough.

nThe upgraded runic base occupied more than half of the catacomb.

nThe highest point of the base was almost touching the top of the catacomb!

nHeight…

n“Thirty meters!”

n“This…”

nKlein floated in the air and spoke in surprise.

nHe asked, “Has the style of an ancient castle transformed into the style of a tall tower?”

nThe entire runic base’s style had changed drastically.

nFrom the outside, one could clearly see that the base was divided into five sections. From the bottom to the top, it was gradually shrinking.

nIt was like an ancient stone tower!

nMany patterns were carved on the walls outside. They were lively and ancient.

nThe overall color was not monotonous.

nThe gold was the main color, while the dark was the supplementary.

nFrom afar, it looked majestic and magnificent.

nKlein flew around the runic base, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
