Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Year 5382!

This is the current balance of Jiang Yuan's lifespan, and it's in the time of the Wilderness World!

Thinking about the previous host Li's account of the system's heart-wrenching murders, it means that as long as I don't act recklessly, I could basically achieve the goal of eternal life even if I never come back to the Wilderness World and just live peacefully in the real world as a wealthy man selling incense sticks.

So, with an abundance of lifespan, what's lacking?

Of course, it's the means of revival!

The Treasure Forging Workshop has already been upgraded to Level Four, meeting the basic conditions for making a Resurrection Talisman. The biggest problem is the favorability of the little elf, You Meng.

Her favorability needs to be at a diamond level before she'll be willing to give the blueprint.

One Luminous Stone can be given per day to increase favorability by 30 points. The favorability progress bar for the little elf You Meng is quite long, and after gifting so far, it's only added up to four hearts. It seems like it will take too long to reach a diamond level.

Coming out from the Spirit Field, Jiang Yuan rode a paper crane to the old dragon cave.

"You Meng, we're friends, right?" He offered a Luminous Stone, actively asking, "Besides these shiny little stones, what other gifts do you like? I can find them for you."

The little elf fluttered her golden wings while hugging the Luminous Stone, tilting her head as she looked at him. A delicate smile appeared on her refined little face. "Me? Besides pretty little stones, I also like Blue Star Flowers.

Have you seen those? Dark blue, shaped like stars, with golden stamens radiating star-like light; in my heart, they are the most beautiful flowers in the world!

If you could find one and give it to me, I'd be especially happy! Of course, there are more little gifts I like, but you'll only find out when our friendship grows deeper."

Jiang Yuan's eyes brightened, praising his own cleverness!

Indeed, he took the initiative to discover a hidden setting that the system hadn't prompted—reaching a certain level of favorability can unlock more gifts that increase favorability!

That makes sense; otherwise, how long would it take to reach high favorability levels if it were limited to a fixed 30-point increase?

"Blue Star Flower, alright, I've remembered!" He didn't enter the mine to continue mining but hurried away after obtaining this new information.

Because since his home was upgraded to Level Four, the Level Two farmland seeds had Blue Star Flower! But the problem is, the System Mall shows Blue Star Flowers as winter crops, and the only way to get them now is by building a greenhouse.

Jiang Yuan desperately needed to increase the little elf's favorability; the sooner he could reach a diamond level and obtain the Resurrection Talisman blueprint, the sooner his life safety could be assured.

So, determined to quickly work on increasing this data, he hurriedly returned to the Floating Market.

[Would you like to spend 10,000 Spirit Stones to refresh the orders in advance?]

As long as you're willing to spend, you don't have to wait for the system orders to be automatically dispatched. Previously, he didn't desperately need special materials, and he was unwilling to spend so many Spirit Stones, so he never used this service.

Now that he knew there was a faster way to increase the little elf's favorability, he couldn't sit still.

The sooner he completes the main quests and plants the Blue Star Flowers, the sooner he can reap the rewards! More importantly, Jiang Yuan now has money!

When Elixirs in the Wo Hu Temple Market were crazily rising, he earned over 20 million Spirit Stones with one furnace of Spirit Core Pills and one furnace of Blood Replenishing Pills; and from seizing the Demon Monk Guang Hui's treasures, he got over 30,000 Immortal Jade, now he has enough to burn!

Clicking "yes," the previously empty interface instantly refreshed with a public welfare order.

[Public Welfare Order: 50 portions of flour; 20 copper ingots; 100 portions of well water. Order valid for one hour, public welfare orders do not involve transaction of Gold Coins or Spirit Stones, with guaranteed rare material drop]

These resources had been accumulated, taken from the storage box, handed in to complete the task, and the clinking sound of Gold Coins was heard as a special material and 2,000 Faith Value were obtained.

"I refuse to believe I can't get Obsidian Essence from this!" Eyes reddened by spending, Jiang Yuan continued clicking to refresh new orders.

While he was diligently completing orders, hoping to get enough materials to complete the main quest, the clan leader far away in the floating Great Black Mountain suddenly opened his eyes.

"I sensed the power of the divine!" Delighted beyond measure, he roused the sleeping clan members, "Quick! All of you, hurry up! We must seize the time to mine Black Gemstones!"

Ever since accidentally discovering two shiny Black Gemstones while digging a cave last time, after the clan devotedly offered them to the divine, they received divine rewards—tools that made stone mining easier and round sweet fruits along with the well water the clan needed!

The clan leader immediately understood this was the divine's approval of them.

The divine favored those shiny Black Gemstones, hence granting convenient tools for mining.

Thus, with tools in hand, they worked harder at mining the boundless black mountain stones, seeking to get more Black Gemstones to offer to the divine entity silently watching over them.

"Is it divine guidance?"

"Wonderful! The divine accepts our offerings!"

"Clan Leader, didn't we find three gemstones last night? Let's offer them to the divine first, and we'll continue mining deeper!"

"Finally received divine guidance, then... Do you think there'll come a day when the divine, seeing our devout offerings, will lead us out of here?"

"Don't think rashly; show reverence to the divine. Such arrangements surely have reasons within their wisdom..."

...

The clan members discussed with excitement that couldn't be hidden from their faces.

They understood one thing well—relying solely on the divine's mercy is unsustainable; to survive, they must have a foundation. Finally getting divine guidance after offering, it indicates the divine is watching them, witnessing everything. As long as they continue to devoutly offer to the divine, they will eventually receive blessings!

"First, offer the previous three to the divine, then work full steam ahead!" The clan leader arranged the simple altar, placed the three Obsidian Essences, and led the entire clan in prayer to the divine.

[You have a new order, please check it]

Jiang Yuan, eyes still red from zeal, managed to obtain one Obsidian Essence after completing six orders, but was still eighteen short of the goal when the system announced a new prompt.

"Watermelons, well water, and so much food..." He remembered the order details, turned to the kitchen stove and began making food in batches, then drew well water and got watermelon from stock to fulfill the order.

[Order completed, reward: Obsidian Essence +1; Faith Value +10,000; additional bonus: Obsidian Essence +3]

"Another additional bonus!" Upon receiving four special materials at once, Jiang Yuan was extremely curious about the additional bonuses, but the system didn't provide any details that could be viewed, making his heart itch.

What's so special about these two orders?

Why didn't the others have any extra items?

Moreover, both instances of additional bonuses were the Obsidian Essence he needed most; perhaps the system was worried that he'd lose motivation if the task was stalled for too long, thus proactively giving him these bonuses?

"Never mind, just keep refreshing!" Unable to make sense of it, Jiang Yuan continued clicking to refresh until evening when both basic materials and crop stocks were nearly depleted, finally accumulating the twenty Obsidian Essences needed for the task.

[Would you like to use 200 Wood; 200 Stone... 20 Obsidian Essence to build a greenhouse?]

"Once this construction is complete, the basic materials are truly exhausted, I'll need to quickly cut wood and mine!" Jiang Yuan clicked to build without hesitation, then on the displayed courtyard thumbnail, selected to construct the greenhouse beside the Fish Pond.
