Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 62

Han Xing walked straight towards the tower, which was also the core area of this castle.

He followed the stairs, ascending step by step.

He went all the way up to the 3rd floor of the tower, where there was a room approximately 20 m² in size.

The room wasn’t large, but it had an excellent view.

More importantly, outside this room, there was an extended structure resembling a small balcony.

Standing on the balcony, one could not only survey the layout of the entire territory but also see far into the distance.

“Sleeping here must be really comfortable!” he thought.

With that in mind, he immediately decided to make this his bedroom.

After arranging the bed, table, chairs, and other furniture, the room finally had a homely feel.

Han Xing clapped his hands, quite satisfied with the bedroom.

Having tidied up, he went to the small balcony area of the bedroom and dragged a chair over to sit on, enjoying the night sky.

At this height, even the 6-meter-tall elite golems seemed to be under his feet.

Han Xing looked up.

At this moment, the bright moon hung high in the night sky, with clouds seemingly circling around it.

“Such a beautiful view. If I could have some wine and skewers right now, it would be perfect,” Han Xing couldn’t help but think.

“Wait a minute, wine? I do have some!”

Han Xing suddenly remembered the wine he found in the cellar beneath the Lost Palace.

The wine was called Black Vine Wine, one of the dwarves’ favorite brews.

Moreover, according to the system’s notes, this wine has been aging for over 700 years.

Even among dwarf nobility, it’s not easy to drink a vintage Black Vine Wine of this age.

Feeling a bit excited, Han Xing took out this aged brew.

He easily held the several-hundred-jin jug in his arms and gently set it down.

The jug was sealed exceptionally well. Even now, Han Xing couldn’t smell the aroma of the wine inside. Instead, the jug itself, having stayed in the cellar for so long, had developed a layer of fermented scent.

With a mixture of excitement, Han Xing slowly opened the seal.

Pop!

With a clear sound of the seal opening, the next moment, a rich fragrance of wine instantly reached his nose.

The moment he smelled the aroma, Han Xing couldn’t help but shiver slightly.

“Gasp…”

Han Xing took a deep breath, feeling invigorated in that instant!

He swore that in his entire life, he had never encountered such a rich and layered aroma of wine.

“The dwarves really know how to enjoy life!” Han Xing genuinely admired.

Even someone like him, who rarely drank, couldn’t help but salivate at that moment.

Han Xing took out a glass and casually scooped out some of the pristine liquid. The clear and bright liquor flowed into the cup.

In an instant, the intense fragrance of the wine spread throughout the entire territory, truly wafting for miles around.

Han Xing took a small sip, immediately feeling a dozen flavors unfold on his tongue.

It was a taste he had never experienced on Blue Star. He detected the fragrance of some herbs, the aroma of grains, and various other strange flavors.

All these combined to trigger a unique reaction of sorts.

“Hiss…”

As he swallowed, Han Xing couldn’t help but gasp.

“This is… just too damn fragrant!” he stammered.

“Is this really wine? This is like nectar of the gods!”

Han Xing couldn’t help but take a second sip, completely captivated by the Black Vine Wine!

At that moment, he also admired the dwarves’ brewing techniques in his heart. To craft such exquisite wine was fitting for the race with the strongest brewing talent in this world.

At this time, Coal was curiously watching Han Xing’s actions and quickly came over after smelling the aroma.

Coal extended its small paw, continuously scratching at Han Xing’s leather boot as if wanting Han Xing to let it have a taste too.

Come to think of it, discovering this jar of Black Vine Wine was all thanks to Coal’s keen sense of smell.

“You greedy little wolf cub.”

Han Xing chuckled, and under Coal’s expectant gaze, he poured half a cup of the liquid and placed it on the ground.

Coal immediately stretched its head out and started licking happily.

Slurp~ slurp~

Before long, Coal had licked the cup dry of the Black Vine Wine.

Han Xing watched as the little wolf cub raised its head.

Its eyes were slightly red, seeming somewhat dazed.

Coal staggered unsteadily on its feet for a moment and eventually toppled over.

“Hahaha! That’s what you get for being greedy!”

Han Xing laughed heartily. He had only taken two sips and was already feeling a slight buzz.

For Coal to have downed half a cup and not topple over would be a miracle.

After placing Coal on the sofa, Han Xing returned to the small balcony to continue his leisure time.

At that moment, Han Xing suddenly remembered that Cheng Jianyong, that guy, usually enjoyed drinking alcohol.

Back in high school, he was an incorrigible drunk, but after getting married, he toned it down quite a bit.

Suddenly, Han Xing had the urge to tease him a little.

So, Han Xing opened the group chat and said: “Guys, have you ever tried a 700-year-old Lafite?”

He then sent the information about the Black Vine Wine into the group chat.

Upon seeing the information that the Black Vine Wine was indeed 768 years old, Cheng Jianyong exclaimed exaggeratedly: “What the f*ck!!!”

“A 768-year-old brew, aged since the time of the Yuan dynasty, that’s just incredibly outrageous!”

Cheng Jianyong swallowed hard and tentatively asked: “Brother Xing, where did you get it? Can you share some with me?”

Han Xing didn’t answer directly but instead described to Cheng Jianyong the deliciousness of the Black Vine Wine and its lingering flavor.

Listening to this, Cheng Jianyong could feel his craving for alcohol stirring in his stomach, and he began salivating like crazy.

He begged in near desperation: “Brother Xing! My bro! Please, just give me a bit, I swear, just a little!”

“Damn it, since coming to this world, I’ve almost forgotten what wine tastes like. And now, there’s a 700-year-old brew right in front of me. Isn’t this just torturing me with temptation?”

Han Xing laughed heartily. Instead of teasing him further, he bottled 200 ml in a glass bottle and traded it over to him.

This was the convenience among survivors. If you needed something, you could trade it directly, simpler than even a delivery service.

Seeing that it was just 200 ml, Cheng Jianyong said somewhat resentfully: “Brother Xing, just this much?”

Han Xing nodded and said: “A little is enough. Drinking too much could make you drunk, and in this world, being drunk is dangerous. You already lack self-control, so I can’t give you more.”

Cheng Jianyong really wanted to say that he wouldn’t get drunk, but recalling the embarrassing incidents from his student days, he swallowed his words.

At this moment, Shen Yun also eagerly said: “Brother Xing, give me some too.”

Hearing this, Han Xing gave Shen Yun 200 ml as well and solemnly instructed: “Remember, only drink a little at a time. You mustn’t drink too much. It could cause you trouble.”

Shen Yun responded with a smile: “Don’t worry, I’m not like Cheng Jianyong.”

After taking a few sips, Han Xing heard Cheng Jianyong start to ramble incoherently in the group chat.

Not wanting to listen to that drunkard, Han Xing simply closed the group chat.

Han Xing then began to feel a bit sleepy.

He resealed the wine jar and placed it back into the Storage Box.

Then he returned to his bed to rest.

…

The next day.

As soon as Han Xing opened his eyes, several notifications appeared before him.

[Energy Golem Crafting Completed…]

[Energy Golem Crafting Completed…]

Han Xing walked to the balcony and saw 5 4-meter-tall steel giants added to his territory, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Currently, there are still two common-level golems in the crafting queue that haven’t been completed, requiring 4 more hours.

“Great, I’m one step closer to forming my golem army!”

Descending from the tower, Han Xing walked over to the Energy Golem, and its attributes appeared before him.

[Energy Golem (1-Star)]

[Level: LV7]

[Strength: 48, Dexterity: 37, Wisdom: 35, Constitution: 55 (receiving the territory’s Basic Castle bonus, increasing all stats by 10%)]

[Energy Core’s Remaining Energy Value: 0 (inserting 50 Spirit Cores can infuse 1 energy point into the golem)]

[Energy Core’s Remaining Defense Value: 100]

[Skills: Energy Shot, Rock Body (passive skill, reduces physical damage taken by 40%).]

The attributes are similar to the ordinary golems he encountered before, and with the castle’s enhancement, they have reached another level.

Han Xing estimated that in terms of pure attributes, this Level 7 Energy Golem could likely exceed those of typical Level 9 monsters.

Considering its terrifying physical defense, even some Level 10 monsters might not be a match for it.

Han Xing fully recharged all 5 golems, consuming a total of 25,000 Spirit Cores.

Then, Han Xing stored all the golems in the Storage Box, aiming to hide his strength and bide his time for the right moment.

However, for safety’s sake, he cleared 30 slots in his bag specifically for elite-level golems to prepare for any unexpected situations.

Next, Han Xing began his relaxed journey of leveling up.

With Coal, the mighty pet, and the support of a golem with defenses comparable to that of a chieftain-level monster, he essentially had no rivals at this stage.

Experience points soared, and in just half a day, Han Xing advanced to Level 8.

Coal also leveled up to Level 7.

By the end of the day, Han Xing had reached 40% of the experience needed for Level 8.

The territory expanded from 2,246 m² directly to 3,124 m².

On the new leaderboard, Han Xing once again firmly held the top position with a significant lead.

This time, there were no surprises.

Even Whisperer and Black Hawk had only just reached Level 7.

The other survivors were mostly at Levels 5 or 6.

The vast gap made them give up any struggle.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the sky.

7 or 8 territories, each measuring over 1,000 m², clustered together.

They brought their territories close, all converging toward the same place.

8 survivors sat around a table, each occupying a different corner.

Seated at the head of the table was the leader of God’s Whisper, Whisperer.

Observing his team members, Whisperer remarked approvingly: “Good, in the span of 2 days, our God’s Whisper has finally formed an 8-member team!”

“Next, as long as we stick together, exploring and fighting as one, our leveling and expansion speed will start to soar!”
