blogombal Chapter 39 Upgrade! Iron Beacon
Chapter 39 Upgrade! Iron Beacon
Su He ignored the gazes cast upon him by the group of monsters.
In fact, none of the monsters he summoned, except for the witch, knew what he was going to do next.
Su He took out the materials for upgrading the beacon from his backpack one by one: four copper blocks, four iron blocks, and one otherworldly monster essence.
Following the instructions provided by the system, he neatly arranged the blocks in place, then picked up a pickaxe, removed the original stone beacon, and placed it in the very center of the block array.
The moment the stone beacon was lowered into the ground, its original round stone shell shattered.
The outer shell peeled away layer by layer, revealing a completely different new appearance.
A pure white, hard iron shell slowly emerged, its surface engraved with exquisite copper-colored patterns.
Compared to the previous two generations of beacons, the overall quality and aesthetics of the iron beacons have been greatly improved, and they are on a completely different level.
Moreover, the moment the stone beacon was upgraded to an iron beacon, a white beam of light shot into the sky, soaring high above the clouds.
The white light faded quickly, but Su He could clearly perceive that the beam of light emitted by the beacon had only become lighter in color and less noticeable, but it was still there.
The changes brought about by the iron beacon are not limited to these. Not only are there light pillars that were not present in the previous two generations of beacons, but the environment, creatures, and buildings around the base have also changed.
First, there was the change in environment. The once flat and clean lawns around the base were suddenly overgrown with weeds.
The surrounding trees have grown noticeably taller, with more and thicker trees, and their shapes have become more varied.
A gentle breeze blows, and the weeds that were previously motionless are now swaying back and forth in the wind.
The trees will also shed leaves from time to time, piling up neat patches of fallen leaves on the ground.
The first Infinite Pool that Su He built became exceptionally clear, and a small perch appeared out of nowhere in the pool.
The bass swam very naturally in the water, and apart from its strange square shape, it was no different from a real bass.
While the monsters, all belonging to the same biological category, don't have any particularly unique differences in appearance or material composition, you can still clearly feel that they are different.
First of all, the monster's sheen has changed, making it look more textured overall.
Take the Drowned King as an example; its eyes became exceptionally bright, and the difference was immediately apparent.
Not only the monsters, but also food, weapons, and buildings—anything that was placed there—all underwent the same change.
"Is this... adding a layer of light and shadow to my world?"
After scanning their surroundings, the monsters looked at each other, all puzzled by the changes in themselves and their surroundings.
Su He opened the panel of the iron beacon, and a huge amount of information poured out, too much to read or digest in a short time.

The content on the biological introduction page alone left Su He completely bewildered.
With the exception of a few special creatures, iron beacons have granted spawning permissions to the vast majority of creatures in Minecraft.
It even includes some hellish creatures, which shows that by the time Suhe reached the Iron Beacon stage, he already had the ability to travel to hell.
The fact that he could go to Hell means that he could also obtain resources like diamonds.
Sure enough, by sliding the beacon panel down, Su He immediately saw the list of minerals that iron beacons could generate.
[Existing biomes: Forest, Desert, Swamp, Plains, Mushroom Zone]
Minable minerals: coal, copper, iron, gold, ruby, emerald, lapis lazuli, diamond.
In addition to the content on the beacon panel, a brand new side quest has also appeared on Su He's quest panel due to the upgrade of the iron beacon.
Most of the missions in this branch are related to the various functions of the beacon.
There are quests that unlock beacon enhancement buffs, quests that unlock protective barrier abilities, and even quests that enable beacons to teleport.
However, Su He cannot unlock this task at his current stage. He must upgrade to the Diamond Beacon before he can view the conditions for completing this task.
In addition to these tasks that upgrade the beacon itself, there are also tasks that can cause special creatures to spawn in the territory and change the surrounding environment.
These types of tasks are also of particular interest to Su He, among which there are two that are the most attractive and were the first to be marked by him.
One of the tasks is to allow wandering caravans to spawn in Su He's territory.
The unlock condition is to complete the "Wealthy Family" achievement, which requires collecting one thousand emeralds.
Another task is to upgrade the underground world of Suho's territory.
The unlock condition for this task is that Su He's job level reaches level 15, and its task icon is quite interesting. It consists of a large head of a Guardian, an amethyst, and several glowing fruits.
It almost directly and clearly presented the results of completing the task.
The unlocking conditions for both tasks are not difficult; it's just a matter of how much time it takes.
Su He took a deep breath and closed the beacon and mission panel at the same time.
He needs time to digest this information and then formulate a suitable and efficient development plan.
Coming to his senses from the overwhelming information from the beacon, Su He realized that the monsters around him had once again all locked their gazes on him.
It was as if they were quietly waiting for his next instructions.
Su He put on his aptitude assessment glasses and scanned his monsters again. He discovered that several of them, under the blessing of the iron beacon, had their aptitudes upgraded from ordinary to excellent.
The monsters, which already possessed excellent aptitude, and the Drowned King, which had perfect aptitude, did not experience any changes in their aptitude.
Su He stroked his chin. Although the upgrade of the iron beacon brought many benefits, it did not have the effect of greatly shocking these monsters.
They can vaguely sense that something has changed about them, but they can't pinpoint exactly what has changed.
And all of these questions require his owner to answer them personally.
But in reality, Su He himself didn't know what specific bonuses the light and shadow brought to the monster.
At this moment, he desperately needs a way to ease the situation.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and thank your master for his blessing!"
