Gail opened the furnace.

The interface of the furnace was very simple. One was used to store fuel, and the other was used to store raw minerals. After the smelting was completed, the corresponding items would be obtained.

​​

Gail definitely had coal as fuel. After all, the Iron Pickaxe was still working hard.

Even if it was not, Gail could still use wooden planks to replace the fuel, but it would just be a waste.

Gail put the Coal in and then the Iron Ore in.

A burning progress bar immediately appeared on it. The progress was very slow, which was also related to the level of the furnace.

If the furnace could be upgraded later, the smelting speed would be much faster.

Gail looked at the consumption of coal and estimated that it would take two to three coals to burn a mineral.

If it was wood, the material consumption would be double.

The good news was that the coal was still the majority in the mine, so there was no need to worry about the fuel for the time being.

After adding some more coal, Gail closed the furnace.

Although there was an Iron Pickaxe in the mine, he still had to do the rest himself.

He did not stay idle. He picked up the Iron Axe and continued to chop the trees.

He could obtain wood and fruits.

In the following period of time, other than cutting wood, Gail went to the mine to collect the materials scattered on the ground.

The current trend was developing in a good direction.

At this moment, Gail's entire body was surrounded by a light blue light.

He was a little at a loss, not knowing what this meant.

"My strength seems to have increased!"

Gail muttered.

He felt a mysterious power constantly circulating within his body.

He gripped his arm. His strength also increased by a lot. His originally thin and weak body also became more muscular at this moment.

Under the effect of this mysterious power, his originally tired body actually slowly dissipated.

"City Lord Level → Level 1"

"New functions have been activated for you: [Skills], [Communication]."

A voice sounded in Gail's mind.

After the explanation, he understood why this situation had happened. It was because his level had increased.

It seemed that he had collected a certain amount of resources and automatically triggered the conditions for leveling up.

At this moment, Gail's attention was completely focused on the newly activated functions, especially the 'Skills'.

This function could be said to be the beginning of the road to immortality!

It was very important!

Without any hesitation, Gail summoned the interface and directly opened the skill.

Skills were something like a tree trunk.

[Saturation]: In the city, the respawn rate of food-type materials was increased!

[Production]: The experience gained from producing items was increased!

[Construction]: The experience gained from constructing items was increased!

[Immortality]: Stepping on the path of immortality. Physical Fitness was increased by 20%, Upgrade Chance was increased by 35%!

[Forging]: Immediately obtain 30 Gold Coins. Gold Coins production when forging +2!

Five options appeared in front of Gail.

Each of these had its own advantages.

Gail rubbed his chin and began to think.

At the moment, he did not have many Skill Points. He had to think about it carefully.

After thinking for a long time, he still could not figure out which Skill to get first. He might as well just close the Skill interface and wait for another time.

At the moment, he could not wait to see how much his strength had increased.

He picked up the Iron Axe on the ground, raised it high, and swung it!

"It's really much faster!"

Gail said with a smile. The progress on the progress bar was much faster than before.

Moreover, the endurance of his body seemed to have changed a lot. To be more precise, the overall strength of his body had increased a little.

This made him begin to yearn for the effect of the next level.

However, the most important thing at the moment was still logging.

Chop! Chop!

Gail chopped the tree trunk again and again.

From time to time, he would shake off a few fruits.

The logging continued for a period of time, and Gail's entire body was soaked in sweat.

Crunch!

He took out an apple from his backpack and directly bit it hard to replenish himself!

Gail took out the Iron Sword from his backpack.

The appearance of the Iron Sword was still new, but it did not seem to be in use now.

After all, he had not even met a monster yet.

Just as Gail was about to put the Iron Sword back into his backpack, the mechanical voice sounded again.

[Iron Sword knows that it's useless. I'm very sorry. Awakening the Sword Spirit! ]

Hmm?

Gail looked at the Iron Sword. It seemed to have changed a little.

He pulled out the information of the Iron Sword.

[Iron Sword: Used to kill monsters!]

[Advantages: Unlimited durability. Can be upgraded!]

[Disadvantages: Current level is low, so the damage is low!]

[Attributes: Sword Spirit (a creature born from the Iron Sword. It has combat ability and can be upgraded continuously!)]

Just as Gail was focused on reading the information.

The Iron Sword began to shake.

A little person floated out of the iron sword.

There was an Iron Sword between the little person's eyebrows. The moment the small person saw Gail, it was as if it saw its beloved treasure and quickly floated over.

It rubbed against Gail's cheek intimately.

"It's quite cute!"

Gail came back to his senses and noticed this creature.

Such a creature would not be too simple. At the very least, its level was already very high.

After some explanation, Gail also knew that as long as the Iron Sword continued to level up, the Sword Spirit would also continue to level up.

At that time, it would also become like a general!

The future was within sight!

"What's your name?"

Gail pinched the little person's cheek.

The little person shook her head and revealed a disappointed expression.

"Then you will be called Alice from now on!"

Hearing this name, Alice began to run around in Gail's palm.

She looked like a cute little elf.

"Alice, you can go back. I still have things to do."

Gail had not forgotten his work. The goal of developing the city was still far away!

He could not waste it all on entertainment.

At this time, Gail opened the Skills Interface again.

He had already decided which item to add points to.

His finger moved slightly and directly added the option of Immortality.

The light dissipated, and Gail's overall strength rose to another level.

The reason for choosing [Immortality] was very simple. As long as his strength increased, the speed of collecting resources would be much faster.

This way, the speed of leveling would also be much faster.

He closed the Skills Interface.

There was no need to worry about the wood and the mine.

At this moment, his city was really considered shabby.

There was not even anything he could live in.

These needed to be built by himself.

It just so happened that Gail had a lot of materials on hand, which could be used to build a simple hut.

Gail rushed into the mine to collect the resources.

Then he began to prepare for the construction.

The materials that could be used for building were simple. It was just wood and stone!

'Let's begin!'
