My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 517

"Host, I’ve found a City Shield—there’s an option for 8 hours and 24 hours, though the price is a bit high, especially for the 24-hour shield. Would you like to take a look?" 008 suddenly interjected, breaking up the little family moment with Keith and their grandparents.

She knew it was time to get back to work.

"Keith, Grandpa, Grandma, I need to head back and take care of some work," Kisha said gently, her voice almost coaxing.

"This storm is going to be devastatingly powerful, so I need to prepare. I’ll talk to you all later, okay?"

She knew she had been too busy lately, barely having time to catch up with her family.

But even so, they were always in her heart, and she had made sure to keep an eye on them—whether directly or with 008’s help.

"Okay, always stay safe." Their grandmother was the first to speak, her understanding smile softening her words.

"You can always call us when you’re not too busy. With this thing floating around and you being able to check in on us, it will help us feel closer."

Their grandfather nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

They didn’t want to add to Kisha’s worries, especially when she was so far away and already burdened with so much.

The best they could do was grow stronger each day, so they could help her in their own way.

If they could ease her worries about their safety, it would give her one less thing to stress over.

Kisha understood exactly what her grandparents were thinking, and for a moment, a soft wave of affection washed over her.

She felt like the little Kisha again—the one who used to run to her grandparents with so many feelings to share.

She nodded, her eyes filled with a quiet love and tenderness.

As soon as the video call ended, Kisha turned her attention to 008. "Show me."

[City Shield]

[Description: A city-wide defense system used across various worlds, typically created by mages through a series of barrier spells or by cultivators. These shields are sustained by powerful runes, and the strength of the runemaster or mage directly impacts the shield’s duration and its ability to withstand attacks. The stronger the caster, the longer the shield lasts and the more powerful the attacks it can repel.

Grade: Rare

Type: Consumable]

[City Shield - 8 hours]

[Cost: 2,000 points]

[City Shield - 24 hours]

[Cost: 5,000 points]

...

Seeing the price, Kisha couldn’t help but think how expensive it was for a one-time-use item.

But with no other choice, she decided to buy it.

Luckily, the base in City A was well-protected under her territory’s defense.

The base’s barrier had a health system in place: even if it were attacked and the barrier’s integrity weakened, it would eventually recover over time.

Additionally, she could expedite its recovery by using methods such as exchanging crystal cores for spiritual energy, which could be used to replenish the barrier’s defense.

Alternatively, she could directly infuse spiritual energy. With these options, she wouldn’t need to spend more points on additional City Shields.
