Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

2 days passed with no problems,

Other than their training, nothing much happened making them help focus on their skill level-ups.

The low level mana potion had become a great help for everyone, it helped the mana storage regenerate faster meaning that they all could double their training.

Lucas's punch skill upgrade had come with some great perks. His already increased speed became even faster and a normal person wouldn't be able to see his moves. His knuckles also had a change as they had started to look defined and curvy with the increased toughness that helped with keeping them unbroken.

There wasn't much other than this for Lucas. Going from level one to two for any skill was easy and many increased their proficiencies. But Lucas had observed that the progress in percentage was much slower than before.

But it didn't matter as training was doubled already and they had more time with only some creatures around in the wild.

There were some creatures near the shelter but they all died at the hands of the traps and the group. The extra meat was good but the experience gained was next to zero.

With everyone being above level 5 after the dungeon, it had become impossible to get the normal experience points through the low level creatures. It was not expected but seemed fair in the eyes of Lucas.

If they ever get in front of a high level being, chances would be that it would either kill them or just move uninterestedly as it would not get anything from them to begin with.

For example- if the experience intake was 11 EXP from a level 2 creature, it became 4 after they reached level 5. That meant that there was no reason to kill the weak and let them become a higher level being and then kill to get a reasonable amount of experience to level up.

John had a breakthrough in his wind manipulation but alas there was a downside. He got a new skill on his own which was a good thing but not for this phase.

More skills meant more time taken to level them to five. No one had reached level 3 of their skills aside from Lucas who had his 'Shelter Generation' skill at level 3.

John's wind manipulation skill was now at level 2 while the next skill he got had the name 'Wind ball'. For the time being, it was a very dumb skill as John may have generated a ball with vigorous and fast rotating winds but that ball had no way of hurting anything.

He had a few tests on different things and the last was a human. The wind ball thrown toward the tree at first didn't last as the skill was weak and the ball dispersed before reaching the tree.

On the second try, John hit it but only some chips of wood came out of the trunk which was lesser than what Lucas could do at the start of his leveling up.

He tried it at the ground which made the surface uneven with come dirt splashing but that was it. And at last, he used Jerry's strong skin skill to his advantage.

He threw it at Jerry who did not get even a single scratch. But it was observed that the winds moving in a circular motion made Jerry feel a suction pull by a little but it wasn't much as the skill had less destructive power.

In these two days, there was yet another breakthrough. Barney had started using his preserving skill and when he got accustomed to it.

He made his first big advancement with the help of Lucas's first sword which had its durability down by only one.

It took Barney eight hours with one litre intake of the low level mana potion in order to get back that one lost durability.

Lucas was still happy as his sword had become new again in comparison to the previous durability. This made Barney and the others confident that with the help of the potions and time, he could regenerate the durability of any equipment or weapon.

Sarah had her accuracy skill level up and her fire's destructive power also increased with the help of the equipment that they got from the chest. It was the ball of fire.

The little equipment helped her destroy the accuracy testers that Lucas had to make again.

The skills of the others were also doing great other than Sean who was still very behind when it came to Runesmithing.

At last, there was Sandra and Haley with a whole lot of improvement. Sandra's water skill had upgraded making her generate more water than before. The potions had also helped a lot. Her other skill, the necromantic ritual was a different thing altogether.

It was a tricky skill that delved into the spirits and bodies of the dead but still, she was able to learn some things after activating the skill.

At first, the skill had a way of making her know what was around her. For example, when she activated it for the first time, Sandra felt strong death energy throughout the shelter. One that was the strongest was that of a certain feline creature that had been dugged in and buried a long time ago.

It was the Vixenox and it didn't take Sandra even a minute to let Lucas know about how the Vixenox's killing spirit was so strong. It hated Lucas dearly and Sandra had no way of contacting it.

With the skill's level one, she was only able to do this but her understanding of death had increased a lot which made her weirder than before.

Haley on the other hand was at the center of things. She was the one that did most of the heavy lifting with her spacial skills which made life better than before. The most important thing that she improved with, was her cooking skill.

She kept cooking the whole two days without much break making all the meat ready to keep in the storage and increasing its shelf life and also making it better tasting without any spices at the same time.

Her buffs were the same but they were on every single food she made with the skill activated so Lucas had a good time thinking of the opportunities the group and shelter together could get with the help of her prowess.

The potions had made her job easier as it was in abundance and drinking a lot after making it hot made her make a lot of food which was not possible before as her mana took a lot of time to regenerate back.

Lucas was still trying to improve the potion's grade level. Alas he could only make it one more time in the two days span as there was no place to store them. He tweaked the process but still got the same result as before, a low level mana potion of the extremely common grade.

He knew it was going to take time but still, Lucas had the urge to be fast.

Even his shelter upgrade was going well as half of the resources were already collected and he didn't give a hand a single time these whole two days.

But everything was going well aside from a long-term plan that Lucas, John, Jerry, and Mike were thinking about together.

At first, it was just an inkling of a thought inside Lucas's mind but then with each success and breakthrough, he got more time to think about it.

The business opportunity was heavily influenced by his mother as he had an abundance of meat that could last him a month tops, but what about after?

Upon further pondering, it was concluded as even if they could get the edible fauna from the forest, there was still a need for meat on the plate as they knew that it was possible to get and it's hard for humans to deny the pleasures and greed for the tasty meat.

They would need to go hunt again and again which was nice but not efficient, Lucas could be doing better things like upgrading his skills but if push came to shove, then he would be forced to go on a hunt to get meat.

But what if he had a way to get a supply of meat without going outside the shelter?

After great pondering, it was already evident that the luck of getting various production skills inside their groups had left them to become good at manufacturing.

Lucas could skin and butcher with his skills, and Haley could cook and place buff in the food. Experience more on empire

So in the end, it was decided to ask for the creature's corpses hunted by the groups that they know about and then butcher them for the other groups which would in return give them a cut from the parts and meat of the creature that they were going to butcher.

The price of exchange would be even high if they were to need Haley's buff-filled delicious food.
