Shelter for All: People catch ghosts and gain entries in the end times

Chapter 34: Hot Spring, Platinum-Level Secondary Attribute

The last drop item was a blueprint for a building. However, this building was something special.

[Black Blade Noble’s Hot Spring].

[Construction Requirements: Stone x200, Gold x20, Energy Stone x50, Distilled Stone x10, and 10 liters of purified water].

[Description: A hot spring that only the nobles among the undead can enjoy. Soaking in it will quickly heal injuries, gradually increase physical strength, and increase experience points.].

“Great item indeed,” Su Mu muttered, examining the blueprint. “But the building requirements are the highest I’ve seen so far. Everything else is manageable, but I don’t currently have 10 liters of purified water or any distillation stones. And there’s not enough room in the level 1 shelter to fit a hot spring.”

Although it couldn’t be built right now, it was undoubtedly a valuable asset. In a world filled with ashes and blood, coming back every day left one dirty and grimy. On the Global Channel, several women were already complaining about the lack of bathing facilities. This world was unbelievably filthy, yet there weren’t enough resources for survival, let alone the luxury of bathing.

Of course, Su Mu didn’t have to worry about that. He could even enhance his experience while bathing in the hot spring.@@novelbin@@

“After upgrading the shelter, we’ll add that feature as well. For now, it’s time to refresh the secondary attributes.”

Su Mu took out the two pieces of equipment dropped by the Black Blade. According to his original plan, he would spend the first two days strengthening his equipment to make exploration easier. On the last day, before the lair’s barrier wore off, he intended to enhance some buildings inside the lair to bolster its defenses.

Right now, Su Mu needed a melee weapon. The [Soul-Controlling Black Blade] was perfect. Following his usual routine, he drank the [Scarlet Pig’s Blood], hoping to increase his luck slightly.

“Refresh.”

Moments later, a white light orb and two yellow light orbs appeared before him. Seeing the familiar colors, Su Mu shrugged. His luck hadn’t exploded, but at least there were two guaranteed gold-quality items, which wasn’t too bad. However, one of the yellow light orbs was slightly different.

Unlike the ordinary yellow glow, this orb had a faint blue hue, making it more dazzling. Su Mu glanced at it briefly before deciding to check the other yellow light orb first.

[Secondary Attribute: Level 1 Frost].

[Quality: Gold].

[Effect: Specially enchants the weapon, giving it Frost attribute damage. It deals an additional 100% damage to enemies with low ice resistance.].

It was a strong secondary attribute, similar to the [Level 1 Anti-Evil] attribute of the Anti-Evil Crossbow. However, it wasn’t suitable for Su Mu.

The monsters he encountered most were undead. Aside from the undead, the only other creatures in this region belonged to the Scarlet Clan. He hadn’t faced enemies that used fire, so an ice attribute attack wouldn’t be of much use. By contrast, the anti-evil effect dealt real damage and suppressed undead creatures, making it far more effective.

Next, Su Mu opened the white light orb.

[Hound’s Stride].

[Quality: Silver].

[Effect: A superior replacement for Hound’s Stride, allowing for quick movement over a slightly longer distance.].

This attribute wasn’t new to Su Mu. Previously, when refreshing his bracers’ attributes, he had encountered [Hound Step]. While it increased movement range, the actual effect was far from teleportation. It might appeal to those who relied on assassination, but Su Mu had no use for it at the moment.

Finally, Su Mu turned his attention to the dazzling yellow orb with a hint of blue light. As he examined it, excitement built within him. If his guess was correct, his luck had hit the jackpot this time.

[Secondary Attribute Set: Soul Nurturing].

[Quality: Platinum].

[Effect: Adds a special soul entity to the equipment, greatly enhancing the equipment’s original attributes. The soul entity will grow with the equipment, becoming another form of support for you.].

A platinum-grade secondary attribute! Su Mu was thrilled. This quality was probably the highest achievable before upgrading the secondary attribute system. The luck-enhancing [Scarlet Pig’s Blood] had proven effective!

Moreover, this attribute was exceptionally suitable for the Black Blade. If applied to a weaker weapon, like the crossbow with no secondary attributes, it wouldn’t make much difference. But the [Soul-Controlling Black Blade] was already a rare-grade weapon. Adding [Soul Nurturing] would make it even stronger—like adding wings to a tiger.

“Let’s go with you!” Su Mu decided, a grin forming on his face. “I wonder what kind of spiritual being will emerge?”
