After working for two days, Liu Shu managed to finish the building. It was not difficult, but it took a lot of concentration, much more than before. To be honest, Liu Shu felt that building the Flower Field around her was much easier in comparison.
The reason for this was simple. Now, with the <Runic Living Wood City>, Liu Shu was processing how the trees she created as houses could have an affinity with runes. The walls of the trees didn't look much different compared to the ones she had grown before, but as Mariane said, they had small traces that could be transformed into myriads of runes.
Right when she completed it, several messages appeared in front of her, like usual. Yet, there were two new ones. Both were from <Runic Living Wood City>.
[Congratulations on building <Low-Rank House (E- Rank)>! You've received 50,000 Proficiency points!]
[<Wonder Tree Building> activates! <Low-Rank House (E- Rank)> is enhanced to <Low-Rank House (E Rank)>
[<Seedling World Builder> activates! 10% material cost reduction, returning materials, rounded down.]
[<Runic Living Wood City> Tier Up has triggered! <Low-Rank House (E Rank)> is enhanced to <Low-Rank House (E+ Rank)>!]
[<Runic Living Wood City> second effect activates. You are able to choose a predetermined <Runic Field> to have active in your newly built <Low-Rank House (E+ Rank)>.]
The World Tree blinked at those two messages, and then she remembered that her <Runic Living Wood City> skill had a 10.5 percent chance to upgrade the Sub-Tier of something she crafted with it, from weapons to the buildings themselves.
What she found interesting was the other option. 'I can give the fuzzy runes meaning during the completion rate of the house? Nice! But... Can I then modify those runes easily? Is it easier to not write any type of field?'
[Wisdom: Crafting one of the predetermined <Rune Fields> is recommended because it will be easier to upgrade as the house increases in Level and Tier.]
Liu Shu pondered and saw another system message pop up in her vision.
[Do you want to choose one for 50,000 Anima Energy and Aether Mana?]
Liu Shu looked at her energy reserves and saw that they were mostly full, at around 80%. So, she nodded and spoke. 'Okay, but first, show me what type of <Rune Fields> I have to choose from.'
[<Steel Bark Rune Field>: Increases the structure's defensive capabilities and the physical resistance percentage. There is a faint increase in melee offensive capabilities.]
Liu Shu pouted. 'Are there no numbers? That's so vague!'
[System Hint: Skills without numbers are more adaptable and usually have greater potential.]
Liu Shu harrumphed. 'That's lame! I want to see numbers and have BIG potential! Like giaaaaantic potential!'
[...]
[<Thorn Bark Rune Field>...]
'HEY! DON'T IGNORE ME!'
[<Thorn Bark Rune Field>: Increases the structure's offensive capabilities by increasing bark regeneration and giving the bark the ability to chip easily. This will increase the tree's damage per hit. It will also allow the structure to make range attacks by throwing lethal thorns.]
Liu Shu read the message and pondered. 'Hm... It sounds interesting. It gives the structures a powerful melee and range attack...'
Then, the World Tree commented. 'Also, why are you ignoring me?'
