Chapter 10: Harvest and Returning Home

　　The dawn of the day peeled off the veil of night, revealing the brutal morning light and ushering in a new day.

Sitting in the car, Yang Bo held a cigarette in his mouth. He exhaled a puff of smoke, and amidst the swirling mist, he looked at the few people in the car and said, "Let's go, take me to Central Park. These creatures won't come out in the daytime."

Ordinary vampires in the Marvel universe cannot withstand direct sunlight, so during the day, they only hide in dark corners.

After spending the entire night, they had managed to eliminate seven vampires, far fewer than Yang Bo had anticipated.

The three people in the car perked up their spirits upon hearing Yang Bo's words. They had been awake all night, and although their spirits were high, the fatigue from their bodies made them yearn to go home and get some sleep.

With a flick of his wrist, Yang Bo's cigarette butt arched through the air and landed on the road, and the car headed towards Central Park.

After more than ten minutes, the car stopped steadily by the edge of Central Park. The driver, Leo, asked, "Sir, will you be coming back tonight?"

Leo and his two companions had already tasted the sweet fruits of their labor, having participated in eliminating six vampires during the night. Their gains were substantial.

Yang Bo glanced at Leo and smiled, saying, "Of course. You guys take care of the things we got last night. Come pick me up here tonight, and also try to buy me a phone card."

After finishing, he opened the car door and stepped out, heading towards the interior of the park. Leo and his companions drove away directly.

The sun had just risen, and the park was filled with the chill of dawn. A few birds flew overhead, their names unknown. Yang Bo looked at the lush green grass around him. If it weren't for the dew on it, he would have wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.

After being awake all night and activating his data-driven abilities, Yang Bo didn't feel tired at all. He took out a loaf of bread from his backpack and ate it slowly, the aroma of wheat filling his mouth.

"It's a bit of a loss. No matter what flavor the bread is, once it's digitized, it all becomes regular bread. Fortunately, the bread tastes pretty good and can be stacked."

After filling his hunger, he walked into the forest towards his home. Suddenly, he noticed the dense grass around him.

"I don't know if hitting the grass can drop some seeds. If it does, I won't have to worry about food anymore!"

Although he now had over 1,100 US dollars, he was a thrifty person and couldn't spend money recklessly. This money had to be used wisely.

He raised his fist and slammed it into the ground, instantly reducing a square meter of grass to only a few centimeters tall, as if it had been cut by a lawnmower.

"Hmm, there are no seeds dropping..."

He raised his hand again to clear away the surrounding weeds, and soon a flat patch of grass was cleared out. As he had imagined, destroying weeds could indeed drop seeds. After clearing hundreds of square meters, he obtained a stack of seeds.

Following his memory, he walked into the forest and found the location of his home. Looking at the patch of ground that had a slightly different hue from the surrounding grass, Yang Bo rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Putting the entrance here is too obvious. Even though it's all grass, the color difference is still quite noticeable!"

The dirt block that had been there the night before had now spread into a grass block, but the verdant green of that patch stood out against the dark green of the surrounding grass.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Bo took out a shovel and dug up the grass block, revealing the passage below. After jumping inside, he blocked the entrance with his hand.

"Today, I'll expand my home and plant some wheat. I'll consider the entrance issue later. If it doesn't work out, I'll just dig a tunnel leading to the sewers outside."

After all, there were plenty of residents in the New York sewers, and he wouldn't be the only one.

He first cut down the already-grown oak trees, further expanding the area of the woodland. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about a lack of wood.

From his backpack, he took out a piece of I-beam steel, which he had picked up from a construction site. Unfortunately, it couldn't be directly converted into iron ingots, but since it was already in his possession, there was no reason to put it back.

"The iron ingots are a problem. Do I really have to go to a steel mill to customize them?"

Yang Bo scratched his head in frustration. Buying steel would be too expensive, and the money he had earned from killing vampires was too little.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came to his ears. He quickly turned and saw a vampire hunter from the vampire mod wandering aimlessly at the edge of the woodland.

Dressed in a black tuxedo with a hat on top and a handsome cape trailing behind him, it was a pity that he was still a blocky figure.

Upon seeing the other party, Yang Bo's originally tense mood immediately became excited. He ran over and looked at the vampire hunter, who appeared to be around 1.8 meters tall.

"I can actually refresh a vampire hunter! I can increase my hunter level now!"

Before reaching level five, upgrading as a hunter was very simple. One only needed to find a refreshed vampire hunter in the wild, engage in dialogue, and submit the items they needed. This would increase the hunter's professional level and earn skill points, leading to new skills.

Opening the operation interface, there was only one slot on it, and above the slot was a large line of text.

[To train, please submit 1 bottle of vampire blood.]

Without hesitation, Yang Bo took out a bottle of vampire blood from his backpack and placed it in the slot. After confirming the submission, the content above changed.

[To train you, please pay 5 bottles of vampire blood.]

Yang Bo looked at the remaining two bottles of vampire blood in his backpack and sighed helplessly. The drop rate of vampire blood required killing vampires with a stake, and it wasn't a hundred percent guarantee. Last night, he had killed 7 vampires but only obtained three bottles!

"I still need to find a vampire nest!"

Since there was no way to upgrade, Yang Bo decided to expand his home first and then go out to see if there was anything that could be converted into iron ingots.

After spending more than an hour, his home had undergone tremendous changes. The originally cramped and dark basement had been transformed into a double-story layout, losing its shady atmosphere.

Clapping his hands, Yang Bo looked at his masterpiece with a smile and nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go out and buy something first. I need to get a single bed. Otherwise, sitting on the ground every day is a problem."

Climbing up the ladder, Yang Bo carefully listened but did not hear any other sounds. He dug up the grass blocks above the tunnel and jumped out.

"Phew, no one here!"

With a sigh of relief, Yang Bo sealed the entrance and headed towards the outskirts of the Central Park.

"It's safer to change the exit. Otherwise, it's just too troublesome!"
