In the sewers of Green Forest City.
Mie Mie carried Yu Yuan as it ran swiftly, quickly returning to the eastern city district as the virtual map of the eastern city sewers appeared.
Yu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
"It seems it's ti to search for the sewer passage blueprints of the other city districts. Otherwise, locating the sewer manhole covers during critical monts would severely hinder escape speed."
The Financial Center Tower in District 6 soon appeared overhead.
After Yu Yuan and Mie Mie completed their equipnt preparations, they pushed open the manhole cover, confird it was safe, quickly climbed out, and entered the Financial Center Tower.
Pulling up the building structure map of the Financial Center Tower, looking at the highest floor marker indicating the 157th floor.
His legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.
But this was his chosen construction site for the Starry Sky Observatory, and also the building with the highest geographical coordinates in the entire Green Forest City. No matter how high it was, he had to climb it.
Even with the attribute bonuses from Mie Mie's equipnt and the 'Abundant Kidney Qi' BUFF, when Yu Yuan stepped onto the highest point of this tower—the Cloud Top Outdoor Photography Viewing Platform—his legs were already feeling sowhat weak.
530 ters!
Yu Yuan looked down over the entire Green Forest City and realized the scenery here was truly completely different. The most obvious was the direction of District 1, where a building resembling a black night pearl stood out so conspicuously in the darkness.
That was precisely the location of the Black Shield Police Departnt.
Their bright lights made them exceptionally prominent throughout the city shrouded in darkness.
Yu Yuan scanned the surroundings; this viewing platform had viewing telescopes set up all around, allowing one to observe the surrounding scenery at any ti.
He walked to the open-air viewing platform and looked up.
The boundless starry sky appeared so close and clear before his eyes.
Although it was only a few hundred ters difference from the ground, it gave people two completely different feelings.
Gazing at the vast starry sky, Yu Yuan only felt incredibly small and fragile. After observing for a while without seeing any familiar constellations, he withdrew his gaze.
A long, wrapped package appeared in his hand, containing exactly the Rare Treasure: Starry Sky Mirror, along with its tripod.
The [Vacant Room] land deed also appeared in his hand.
Opening the Virtual Light Screen, he selected to construct the Rare Treasure building: Starry Sky Observatory.
[Consu 50,000 survival points, Vacant Room ×1 to construct Rare Treasure building: Starry Sky Observatory?]
[Bronze Luxury Card detected. If you choose to construct this Rare Treasure building, this Fate Card will be eliminated. Continue?]
Looking at the prompt information on the light screen, Yu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes revealing anticipation.
After all this effort, it was finally ti to verify the results.
—[Yes]
The next mont, the entire Cloud Top Outdoor Photography Viewing Platform seed to have its space frozen, and 50,000 survival points disappeared.
The [Vacant Room] land deed rged into the viewing platform.
The open-air viewing platform and the building's exterior showed no changes, with no visible alterations. Even facilities like the viewing telescopes on the platform still remained.
But the interior of the floor underwent earth-shattering changes—the roof transford into a do structure.
A high platform appeared in the center of the floor, where the Rare Treasure: Starry Sky Mirror was already set up.
As the transparent do slowly opened, the Starry Sky Mirror, pushed up by the high platform, rose into the air and began observing celestial phenona.
The entire room only had one exquisitely designed wooden door full of antique charm appearing behind Yu Yuan—this was the only passage connecting the Starry Sky Observatory to the outside world.
On the Virtual Light Screen, the Fate Cards page saw a brand new function activated.
The scroll that originally served as background behind the Fate Card box slowly unfurled on the light screen.
In the upper left corner of the scroll surface, a towering skyscraper appeared there.
Yu Yuan imdiately recognized this tower as the Financial Center Tower. Below the Financial Center Tower pattern, two lines of golden text slowly appeared.
—Rare Treasure Building: Starry Sky Observatory
—Countdown: 7 days
Simultaneously, that exotic BGM sounded again in Yu Yuan's ears.
His heart gradually lifted along with the increasingly urgent drumbeats.
"What reward will I get this ti?"
Crack...
With the crisp sound of a card breaking.
Yu Yuan finally heard that cold prompt tone.
[Fate Card—Bronze Luxury Card successfully eliminated, Fate Points 2]
[Convertible item detected. Convert? Requires consuming 1 Fate Point]
"It can be converted!" A gleam flashed in Yu Yuan's eyes.
He imdiately made his choice—[Yes]
[Fate Points -1, obtained equipnt: Combat Detector]
"What thing? Combat Detector!" A familiar phrase instantly appeared in Yu Yuan's mind.
—Trash with combat power of only 5!
Holy crap!
It couldn't really be that thing, could it!
Yu Yuan's heart raced excitedly—that was the high-tech item he most desired as a child, second only to transformation capsules.
He imdiately checked his belongings and discovered that this ti what got converted was actually that Excellent quality Commander Set Tactical Enhanced Goggles.
The goggles had now completely changed in appearance, becoming more streamlined and lightweight. Not to ntion, they sowhat resembled that little green lens from his mories, and also possessed more technological sophistication.
[Combat Detector]
Quality: Special
Type: Facial Equipnt
Equipnt Functions: ① Possesses tactical protection effects; ② Displays observed target levels, energy, and environntal distance; ③ High-level bioforms, intense energy fluctuations, and high-speed object approach lock warnings within 1 kiloter range.
Looking at the Combat Detector in his hand, Yu Yuan imdiately put it on over his eyes.
Beep...
A faint instrunt startup sound reached his ears, and he felt the area from the bridge of his nose upward to below his forehead covered by a lens.
But there was none of the usual constricting sensation, and he could barely even feel the Combat Detector's presence.
It was like an extra filter layer appeared before his eyes. Although still in darkness, his vision beca considerably clearer.
Prompt information different from the Virtual Light Screen appeared before his eyes.
—Connect to Virtual Light Screen for synchronized data information?
Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and imdiately chose to connect.
Several lines of garbled code flashed before his eyes, followed by rows of semi-transparent data information appearing.
—Wasteland Calendar Day 15
—Early Morning 00:37:48
—Temperature: 19℃
—Humidity: 70%
—Wind Speed: 14 km/h
—Wind Direction: Southwest Wind
—Weather: Clear
—Current Altitude: 518.4 ters
Extrely detailed environntal monitoring information made Yu Yuan's eyes light up.
This function is pretty good!
Although they were all very simple data points, they allowed Yu Yuan to grasp every movent of his surrounding environnt at any ti!
As for the other functions, there would be plenty of ti to explore them slowly later.
The Starry Sky Observatory would only obtain its first celestial phenonon after seven days, aning on Wasteland Calendar Day 22.
After noting down this ti point, Yu Yuan opened the Shelter Facility Managent Log.
Looking at the [Escape Passage] page.
Sure enough, the construction requirent had changed from the previous unt status to green buildable status.
The Safe House requirent already displayed the number [1].
Not wanting to delay here any longer, Yu Yuan prepared to leave.
When he closed that wooden door full of antique charm belonging to the Starry Sky Observatory.
A spatial fluctuation flashed, and the door before him reverted to its previous dilapidated appearance from when he entered, with no trace of that wooden door remaining.
But Yu Yuan could clearly sense that the Starry Sky Observatory was right behind this door.
Clearly, only Yu Yuan could enter the Starry Sky Observatory.
"Magical!" Yu Yuan murmured softly.
Compared to going up, going down was much easier.
When the manhole cover opened, Yu Yuan took one last look up at the top floor of the Financial Center Tower, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth. As the manhole cover closed and locked, the place returned to silence once more.
