Water and fire, the beginnings of greatness

Blair watched them go before getting to work on gathering the materials she thought she would need to make a water collector. Most of what she gathered was glass, aluminum, and a couple of toasters. She wasn't certain why, but she had a feeling those toasters would come in handy. She gathered them into a small hill before lifting her right hand toward the pile of materials and cast Craft while focusing on the creation of a water collector. However, while thinking of this she also thought about a reservoir power generator. - 5 Mp Shortly after, she received the following notification.

Craft:

Merge: Glass Bottle x 50, Thick Sheet of Aluminum x 25, and Toaster + 200 Mp and $2,364.19. Results: Water Collector and Condenser. Uncommon Quality.

Materials: Dense Glass, Reinforced Aluminum, Reinforced Steel, Magnetic Rod, Dodecahedron Electrical Generator, and Large Water Stone. 1,000/1,000 Durability.

Blair read each of the choices, but her eyes widened when she saw the last choice. 'Holy shit that's expensive.' She thought before thinking. 'Wait, is that an actual reservoir!?' Indeed, her eyes were not deceiving her. It clearly stated it was a reservoir generator and collector. This would easily solve her problems for both power and water, but was it worth it to her? She opened her inventory to see how much money she had available, $6,368,019.27 After seeing that, she smiled. Although she knew this was a bit much, it was certainly better to have more than she needed now than to not have enough later. She let out a breath as she selected the third option. The pile of glass, aluminum, and the two toasters started to meld together as she received the following notification. - 475 Mp and - $46,591.16

Please, select a new location for this structure.

Current location does not fit its requirements.

Blair looked down and realized why. She was standing where it would have been placed and quite honestly this area was a mess. She looked around carefully and noticed that in a similar fashion to a video game. She could see the outline of the structure in red where it was going to be placed when it was complete. After looking around for several minutes, she finally settled on an area to her left of where she had originally been standing. She spent the next twenty minutes clearing the area of plastic and other items using clean, causing it to upgrade several times. She made sure to toss out the items from her inventory in a separate pile to keep her inventory from overflowing.

Clean has increased from level 1 to 4 - Area cleaned has been increased from 1 ft squared and may require multiple uses to clean to 2.5 ft squared and will always fully clean the targeted area.

Clean's tool tip has been updated from this:

Clean lvl 4

Cost: 5 Mp per use

Cleans an area of 2.5 ft squared, placing contents into your inventory.

To the following:

Clean lvl 4

Cost: 5 Mp per use

Removes any and all dirt, grime, slime, stain, sweat, cum, and what not within a 2.5 ft squared area.

Contents will be placed in your inventory.

Special note: A Trash bin has been added to your inventory. Any items and trash within the trash bin will be stored for 24 hours before deletion.

Blair was surprised by how much clean had changed, but now that that was out of the way. She could finally set this new structure down. She lined it up carefully until the structure's outline turned green. As soon as it changed to green, she clicked select. Shortly after, the melded mess that had been bubbling together, moved to her chosen location and went to work, digging out the new area and lined the 20 x 20 x 12 foot area with glass, aluminum, and steel where needed. This took several minutes more, but once it was complete she decided to look it over. It's basic structure reminded her of a pool, but to the right side of it were several thin solar panels pointed up toward the sun.

Next to those solar panels was a metal hub filled with roughly 12 rapidly spinning magnetic rods, generating power. Above the reservoir were two large blue stones anchored by chains to each corner of the pool. However, when Blair finally looked down to the water. Well, the sight of the crystal clear water was stunning. She knelt down and reached in with her right hand to bring up some of the water to her lips before taking a sip. "Mm." She licked her lips gently and thought. 'Mm, that's the best water I've ever tasted.' However, after she did, a small amount of water trickled from the water stones to replace the water she had taken.

Blair stood up and looked around, thinking about what to do next. She had water and power, but she would need a forge if she was going to make any weapons and important improvements to this location. It would likely lower the cost of her crafting as well. With this in mind, she started to gather the supplies she felt she required. After a few minutes, she had several piles of metal, ceramic items, and a few electronic devices. Although she knew she was missing some rather important pieces. It wasn't like she had enough time to go to a store to pick them up if she was going to have this done before Caesar and Izohra returned.

Blair closed her eyes as she cast Envocation, channeling it over the next 4 seconds, storing 25% of her mana every second. A blue swirl of light surrounded her body for its duration before settling down, starting Envocation's 10 minute cooldown. She opened her eyes and lifted up her hand to cast Craft on that pile of gathered materials while thinking of a forge. - 5 Mp Shortly after, she received the following notification.

Craft:

Blair looked over each option and was surprised by how little this cost in comparison to her reservoir, but regardless of that. It would be important to go with the more expensive one here. Although not as crucial it would likely become far more important in the future in development of her base. She selected the third option and received the following three notifications as the pile of steel, titanium, and electrical devices melded into one. - 400 Mp and $3,357.10

Note: This structure must be placed within a power field.

Blair smiled when she saw that craft and shatter had leveled, but lifted a brow when she read about the power field and thought. 'What power field?' However, when she looked around. She noticed a green grid surrounding her Reservoir Generator and Collector. It covered roughly a 100 ft radius from it. "Huh. Well, that's good to know." She decided to set it roughly thirty feet away from the reservoir for safety reasons. When she did, a power line linked from it to the selected location after the melding metals and electronic devices formed into her new multi-forge, anvil, electrical-bellow, crucible, basic tools, and heat resistant clothing.

It stood a little taller than Blair (She's 5' 4".) at 5' 6" and 5' wide and about 5' deep. She let out a soft breath as she sat down and closed her eyes. She started to use Meditate for an unknown amount of time while waiting for Izohra and Caesar to return. Hmm, would they return soon? Will she learn a new skill by using meditate? How many vibrator bombs will she be able to make after they return?
