Athena in Tower Defense Game! [LitRPG]

0056 – Massive Upgrades!

When she returned to the long-lost house, thick hot soup was bubbling inside. Under the expectant gazes of the three little ones, Athena tentatively tasted the pot of unknown liquid.

It was much better than she had imagined. The taste wasn't great, but it was edible. She praised Paopao a bit and encouraged it to keep up the good work.

The casual words spoken at that time unexpectedly left an impression on these three little ones, who even took action, which genuinely surprised her.

Grey served her a full bowl, and she didn't pass up the peaches placed beside it, stuffing them one after another into her mouth.

Athena showed the jacked little gobin girl around the layout of the shelter. When they saw the smelting furnace in the workshop, Grey couldn't move another step.

Athena simply tidied up the workshop and set up a simple wooden bed with straw matting for her, even enduring the pain to give her an extra quilt.

She took out some long-stored blueprints from the system backpack.

"Can you make this?" Athena handed the blueprint to Grey, who took it and nodded heavily.

"No problem, it's a piece of cake!"

"Okay, what materials do you need for this? You can gather them yourself. If you can't find any, you can ask Witty and Paopao. I might be out for a few days."

Yes, this time's regional battle, she only intended to bring Mikmik. Not only because Mikmik was the only pet allowed in this regional battle, but also because Mikmik was the best at hiding among them. In case of sudden situations, Mikmik was also the easiest to escape and could gather intelligence for her.

Moreover, the house couldn't be left unattended.

Understanding nodded. Athena closed the door, then turned back and asked.

"If you don't have the tools for making blueprints, can you still make them?"

Grey nodded first, then quickly shook her head.

She said solemnly to Athena, "I can make other weapons, but there are limitations to the contracts of the Third World. Even if I make them, they will be unusable. If forcibly used, it may incur severe punishments."

She knew the system's loopholes wouldn't be so easy to exploit to gain unlimited resources. Otherwise, with enough materials, she would have had a mobile arsenal all over.

"Well, good night."

"Wait!" Grey quickly stopped Athena, who was hesitating, and said firmly in the end, "I need to have some time of my own during the day, so sometimes I may go out during the day."

"Don't worry, I can protect myself. I won't cause any trouble, and I'll be back before darkness falls."

"Okay."

Athena returned to her soft bed.

The bed in the Third Hall was pretty good, but it still couldn't compare to the one she had built herself.

The results of the battles of the past two days and today added up to a total of six white packages and one blue package, and her experience points had skyrocketed to 739.

The white packages had already been opened by Mikmik and the others and were placed aside. They contained some compressed biscuits, mineral water, and occasionally some snacks.

The blue package was left untouched, waiting for Athena to come back and open it.

"Bad luck..."

Some normal supplies, nothing surprising.

After these two days of mental training, Athena could clearly feel that her mental strength had loosened again.

She exchanged for 0.1 attribute points and tried to add them. The addition was successful, and her mental strength smoothly reached the barrier of 5 points.

Athena's eyes lit up at the time; leveling up only costs 10 experience points. Now that her personal attribute points have all reached a barrier and cannot be upgraded, the surplus experience points can be used to upgrade skills, enhancing her own strength.

"Yes"

Sure enough, the experience points increase with each level, not just 10 experience points for each level. Each skill has its own usefulness. Athena planned to use all of her experience points to upgrade skills.

There were no major obstacles in upgrading the first three skills. Only when it came to upgrading Tranquility did the cost increase exponentially.

"Yes"

Unlike the other skills, the cost of Tranquility remained the same each time, requiring 100 experience points per level.

This time, Athena spent a total of 700 experience points on upgrades.

She had been worried about having too many experience points before, but it seems she'll still have to worry about them in the future. After she breaks through the barrier, the experience points required for upgrades may not be as few as they are now.

In addition to the Black Abyss Axe she previously obtained, as well as the enhanced Moonlight Bow and Arrows, two bottles of healing potions, and the 11 Fireburst Balls Athena made during this time, she was fully prepared for tomorrow's battle.

Of course, she still had 153 silver coins that she didn't use yet. Now she needed to familiarize herself with her physical condition and the use of new skills. Open the system's album interface and find the page for the Kingdom of Sol.

"Yes"

Still the familiar vast expanse of whiteness, after she designated the character, the scene changed to the appearance of Sun City. She stood alone in the densely packed snow beasts, holding the Black Abyss Axe emitting a cold light. However, this time she didn't rush forward impulsively as she did last time, but initiated a slaughter right where she stood. At the beginning, the snowstorm beasts ignored her, but later these creatures would autonomously attack Athena. They were the best sparring partners for Athena.
