Age of Ascension: Forging an Immortal Realm from Nothing

chapter 46 - Fire Palaces and Tsunderes! (2/4)


Wu Chi stared at the pile of loot. The void crystals and essence stones were great, a much-needed cash injection after his recent spending binge. The equipment? Mostly vendor trash. The skill books? One was basically "Fireball for Dummies," and the other was an insane black hole stomach technique. And then there was the [Skeleton Knight] class change certificate."A spooky, scary skeleton hero," he mused. "Pros: Low maintenance, doesn't eat my trash-tier cooking. Cons: Might try to sell me timeshares in the underworld." He decided to shelve that idea for later.His eyes, however, lit up when he saw the two building blueprints. An [Explosion Tower]! He knew its power. If his cheat turned a piddly [Arrow Tower] into an [Explosion Tower], what would it do to the genuine article? He immediately placed both blueprints. A new tower and a small, boring-looking apartment complex popped into existence.And, of course, the magical plus sign was there.The little '+' icon. The bringer of miracles. Wu Chi smashed that button like it owed him money. A kaleidoscope of light shot out, and after a good ten seconds, two brand new, ridiculously upgraded buildings stood before him. The once-standard [Explosion Tower] was now a tall, square tower with a rotating prismatic crystal at its peak, etched with the image of a firebird.[Tower of Fiery Judgment]Type: Defense TowerLevel: 1 (0/500)Function: Fiery Judgment (Level 1)Interval: 10 secondsRange: 2000 metersInventory: 10/10Description: By the power vested in me, I sentence you to BURN!"A new spell?" Wu Chi had never heard of 'Fiery Judgment,' but he figured it had to be a step up from a simple explosion. The upgrade cost, however, was insane. 500 essence stones just to get to level 2. It was daylight robbery! Gritting his teeth, he dumped 5000 essence stones into it, upgrading it straight to level 5.The other building, the humble apartment, had transformed into a small, luxurious palace.[Traveling Palace]Type: ResidenceLevel: 1 (0/200)Function: Focus (Level 1), Recovery (Level 1)Rooms: 20Description: The luxurious traveling palace of an ancient emperor, which mysteriously # Nоvеlight # vanished one day.It was gorgeous. Red brick walls, golden-threaded wooden pillars, intricate dragon and phoenix carvings—even the doors were made of the finest Zitan wood."Well, so much for the shack," Wu Chi grinned, though a small part of him was disappointed at the thought of no longer having to squeeze into one bed. "But hey, there's always the future!" A fiery determination flashed in his eyes.20 rooms was more than enough. He placed the new super-tower next to the [Fire Rain Tower]. The appearance of the palace had, of course, attracted the attention of the two beauties."A palace!?""Young Master, you summoned a palace!?"For them, this was like upgrading from a tent to the freaking Taj Mahal."Yep! Like it?" Wu Chi asked."It's beautiful," Qin Keqing blushed.Lin Daiyu, however, shot him a sly look. "It's a little small, Young Master. If you're planning on having three thousand concubines, this won't be nearly enough."Wu Chi's face darkened. "Just go pick a room.""Then… I'll go ahead, Young Master," Qin Keqing said, skipping happily towards the palace.Lin Daiyu, however, didn't move."You're not going?" Wu Chi asked, surprised."I am but a humble plant spirit. I cannot live in a palace," she said dramatically, her eyes downcast."What, you'd rather stay in the cottage with me?" A warmth spread through Wu Chi's chest. "Well, too bad, I'm tearing it down. So, it's either the palace, or you're rooming with me.""Who… who wants to room with you!" Lin Daiyu's face went crimson. "I-I was just worried about your safety…"And with that, she vanished in a flash, zipping away out of sight."…."Wu Chi stared after her for a long moment, a goofy smile on his face. Then, he turned and took out a [Barracks] blueprint. It was time to build an army!
