My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 374 - 189: Marvel · Bonfire_3

"Awooo..."

Suddenly, the sand wolf lunged forward to bite, but ended up biting nothing but air.

Its massive body passed right through the little human girl, then, due to the excessive momentum, tumbled down the hill.

As it fell, its eyes still showed astonishment and confusion, along with a faint hint of fear, unable to comprehend the situation.

The little girl, however, seemed accustomed to it all and didn’t spare it a glance.

She yawned, stretched lazily, and then gradually descended the small hill, continuing toward the direction she had previously chosen.

Suddenly, within her sensory range, hundreds of kilometers away, a three-to-four-meter drone was being tossed around by the sandstorm, swirling with the sand and stones.

And above that drone, there was a line of words: Yiyi, Yang Yuan, it’s Jiayan, I released the drone, I’m in Shashi Fortress, Technology Association base.

"Sister Jiayan..."

The little girl’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran in that direction, the apocalyptic sandstorm sweeping across the world had no effect on her, whether in terms of force or vision.

Though the distance was great and the drone seemed broken.

But since the drone could reach this place, it indicated that the place where the drone was released, couldn’t be too far away.

...

Worried that Jiang Yiyi might pass by nearby and not be able to sense him, Yang Yuan did not enter the Safe House.

The Safe House had spatial isolation, and he was unsure if Jiang Yiyi’s perception could pierce through space; he hadn’t asked before and hadn’t encountered anything similar to the Safe House before.

So, he stayed outside, braving the sandstorm that could obliterate the world, yet remained motionless.

By midnight, the sandstorm finally subsided.

But today’s weather was terrible, the sky was blanketed by dark clouds, devoid of any starlight, leaving the world in complete darkness.

Yang Yuan climbed the highest nearby hill.

Here, the mountain rocks had been stripped of a thick layer by the fierce winds, what remained were only the hardened stones.

Even the stones appeared as if polished and smoothed.

Ignoring the desolate surface, the daytime scenery here was actually quite beautiful.

Yang Yuan stood on the hill for a while, then suddenly took out the wood he had gotten from Wang Jiahui earlier.

He arranged the wooden pieces together, forming a campfire.

Due to the impact of the sandstorm, the daytime temperature in the Yellow Sand Gobi could reach fifty to sixty degrees, while at night, it could drop to below ten degrees.

Although he didn’t need the illumination, nor did he feel cold, he wanted to use the campfire to light up the surrounding environment.

Soon, the campfire was ready.

He picked up a sufficiently hard stone, gently crushed it, then continued to mold it round and flat, compressing the stone.

Under extreme compression, the stone quickly turned red and hot, its temperature increasingly rising.

Finally, when the stone had completely turned red, he placed it among the wooden structure of the campfire.

Under the astonishing heat, the campfire was instantly ignited.

An unexpected thing occurred; the moment the campfire was lit, upgrade data appeared:

[Campfire lv.1: 0/5 (disposable campfire, will disappear once the wood is burned out; cannot be upgraded)]

Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow, a trace of doubt crossing his mind.

Based on the experience he previously summarized, it was necessary to make an object into a whole to have upgrade data appear.

But now, this campfire was constructed of many separate pieces of wood, randomly put together, and wasn’t made into a whole, so why did data appear?

’Wait... this flame...’

Suddenly Yang Yuan noticed the burning flame, and a thought struck him: ’Is it the flame that linked the entire campfire together, forming a whole?’

It seemed to be the case.

It could only be like this.

Otherwise, placing scattered parts together could never form a whole, which was the insight he gained from numerous prior attempts.

He didn’t expect that a flame could also serve as a medium to link objects together.

Patiently, Yang Yuan waited, curious to see what the upgraded campfire would become.

About a minute later—

[Experience +1]

The experience of the campfire increased by one point.

’Is the method to gain experience based on burning time?’

Yang Yuan understood, fearing that the experience wouldn’t fill before the campfire burned out, he attempted to add firewood.

After he added the firewood, the data suddenly disappeared.

His brow furrowed slightly, but when he picked up the wood again, sure enough, the upgrade data reappeared.

’It seems, just like before, once an object generates data, it cannot be modified a second time.’

He patiently waited, fortunately, the quality of this collected wood was good enough to withstand burning.

After five minutes, the experience reached maximum, and only a third of the wooden campfire was burned.

Without delay, he chose to upgrade it directly.

A white light appeared, enveloping the entire campfire.

About three seconds later, the upgrade was complete, the white light dissipated, and new data appeared:

[Campfire lv.2: 0/10 (disposable campfire, will disappear once the wood is burned out; wood consumption rate decreased by two times; cannot be upgraded)]

’Wood consumption rate decreased?’

Yang Yuan understood, continuing to wait.

Ten minutes later, the experience was full again, and he directly upgraded it to level three. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

After reaching level three, other information remained the same, but the wood consumption rate decreased by four times.

After another twenty minutes, the campfire reached level four.

The level four campfire was still a disposable campfire, but the wood consumption rate decreased by ten times.

This was quite significant.

So next, Yang Yuan discovered that although the campfire continued burning, he could barely feel any consumption.
