Chapter 22: Magical Artifact! The Fifth Wave!
Clearly a pill furnace, yet labeled a [Refining Workshop]—
Wu Chi felt the urge to complain but wasn’t sure if he should.
Upon further thought, having a refining function wasn’t bad. At least it was far better than a standard forge.
He opened the [Refinement] interface to take a closer look.
It offered two primary functions:
Creating magical artifacts, which required templates and Void Crystals.Refining equipment into magical artifacts, which also required Void Crystals.
“What a shame. If I had this earlier, my longsword wouldn’t have broken.”
Wu Chi pondered briefly and then took out the [Gauss Sniper Rifle].
This was a tech-based piece of equipment that would be quite awkward to use without the necessary expertise.
Additionally, it lacked a scope, so its accuracy would likely be laughable!
Now,
he could refine it into a magical artifact and see what changes occurred.
Following the instructions, Wu Chi opened the “pill furnace” lid and tossed in the sniper rifle.
Immediately,
a prompt appeared on the furnace:
“[Insert 100 Void Crystals]/[Retrieve]”
“So expensive?”
Wu Chi hesitated for a moment but decided to invest the Void Crystals.
Soon,
flames surged beneath the pill furnace.
The humanoid statue floated into the air, circling the furnace several times.
Roughly thirty minutes later,
the flames extinguished,

Suddenly, explosions erupted outside the gate!
BOOM—!!!
Wu Chi jolted awake.
Turning his head,
he saw Lin Daiyu opening her eyes, a hint of groggy mist lingering in her gaze.
“Gongzi, is it a monster invasion?”
The elegant beauty sat up, sweeping her loose hair over her shoulders. She retrieved a jade hairpin from beside her pillow and secured her hair into place.
Two strands of hair fell gracefully at her ears, the contrast of black and white accentuating her jade-like skin. Her delicate ears carried a touch of charm.
“Probably!”
Wu Chi stretched his neck, opened his mouth, and spat out a glowing point of light.
The light expanded in the wind, transforming into a sniper rifle that landed in his hand!
“Let’s go! It’s the fifth wave today; there’ll definitely be some changes!”
With that, Wu Chi hurriedly got up and stepped outside the cabin.
Since both of them had slept fully clothed, it didn’t take long to prepare.
Lin Daiyu sat on the bed, slipping her pale feet into socks and shoes before following after him.
Outside the Territory, Beyond the Wooden Wall
From all directions, shadows emerged from the fog.
Their stiff, swaying movements resembled a tide of walking corpses.
There were many of them! Wu Chi only took a quick glance to realize that monsters were pouring in from all sides—hundreds of them at the very least!
“The difficulty has definitely increased.”
Wu Chi’s face twitched as he retrieved his [True Sight Lens] and used several appraisal spells.
