3: SSS-level Special Shelter

The Doomsday Game has truly arrived!

Congratulations, player, for being the first to use a mobile phone as a Shelter. Your Shelter has gained the SSS-rank Trait, Mini-Game!

Note: Your hand speed is truly not ordinary; you must have practiced a lot.

The player has successfully chosen a Shelter and obtained the system panel.

Congratulations, player, for awakening the F-rank Talent: Candlelight!

Note: There are no useless Talents, only useless players. Keep it up, you can do it!

"F-rank Talent." Tang Ping's mouth twitched. This Talent, without some luck, he probably wouldn't survive two episodes.

"But fortunately, Talents can be improved later. With a Shelter that has an SSS-rank Trait, I might still have a chance to become one of the top players."

Tang Ping took a deep breath. He looked out the window. The Doomsday Game had already descended. In thirty minutes, perhaps many people, for various reasons, would not have chosen a Shelter, leading to the loss of player qualifications. They would only be able to eke out an existence in the doomsday, perhaps even needing to rely on players to survive.

And the descendants of these people, a hundred years later, would be known as Gray Citizens.

Furthermore, after thirty minutes, there would no longer be such an easy opportunity to obtain a Shelter.

As for the system panel, although there would be opportunities to awaken it later, it would be one in a hundred. And the descendants of the first generation of Gray Citizens would have an even smaller chance of awakening a panel.

As for players with Shelters, as long as the Shelter existed, their bloodline descendants would inevitably awaken a panel.

The transcendent families in the Safe Zone were also established on this foundation, because as long as one awakened a panel, they would at least possess an F-rank Talent, making them a superior citizen, unattainable for Gray Citizens.

Decades later, countless people would regret today.

"The disaster [corruption] is a natural calamity without any warning, but the first disaster is not just corruption; it is also accompanied by a Level 10 storm! Dust storm!" Tang Ping's gaze returned from the window, and he immediately summoned his Shelter.

The phone in his hand instantly transformed into a gray house. This was the initial Shelter. Although it was a house, it could appear anywhere: underground, in water, or even in the air! The Shelter itself seemed like an item from a game; players placing a Shelter was like placing an item in a game, and it ignored any obstacles, placing it with a single click.

This function gave the Shelter itself a huge advantage. Players could hide the Shelter underground, underwater, or even in the air when needed, to avoid various dangers.

Tang Ping quickly put all the purchased supplies into the Shelter, then hurried downstairs. In an alley where few people passed, he threw out his phone. The Shelter was placed underground, and the door was disguised as a manhole cover.

Phones are indestructible, but once they transform into a Shelter, they can be attacked. Once the Shelter's health bar reaches zero, it won't be damaged but will become unbound, requiring re-binding.

This also means that Shelters can be stolen!

However, this would be updated by the system three years later, and Shelters would be completely bound to players, making them impossible for others to plunder.

But within these three years, too many players had died, leading to their Shelters being bound by others. There were even many Shelters that were lost, and even a hundred years later, news would occasionally spread of someone finding a Shelter.

"The Level 10 storm is coming soon. I remember there seemed to be treasure chests in this storm." Tang Ping's eyes flickered. He turned and drilled into the manhole cover, returning to his Shelter, preparing to wait for the storm.

The Shelter space was not large. He dismantled half of a bed from his rental room and moved it into the Shelter.

There was also a bedside table, a small table, and various supplies piled in the corner.

The entire cramped Shelter had almost no extra space.

Tang Ping opened his phone. There were still some group chats on his phone; these had not disappeared.

Company Main Group

Sister Wang Next Door: "Did you hear a strange sound? What is this 'Global Doomsday Game'?"

Eliminate Old Li: "I heard it. What's going on? It feels a bit mystical. And it's asking us to choose a Shelter?"

Marry Third Sister-in-Law: "It's amazing! I just tried it, and it really chose my thermos as a Shelter! I just threw it on the ground, and wow, it really turned into a house!"

Old Slave Doesn't Want to Rent: "Great! It's real! A portable house! I won't have to rent anymore! I've already messaged the landlord and scolded her severely! She raised my rent three times in three months!"

I Am a Flying Bird: "That's great. I'll move my things in later and sleep inside at night. It'll be convenient for work too. I'll just throw the house on the ground after leaving the company. I can save over two thousand in rent a month!"

Ox Horse is Truly Ox Horse: "No? Big brothers and sisters? Didn't you notice the words 'Doomsday'? It's the doomsday, and you're still thinking about being an ox horse?"

Ox Horse is Truly a Dog: "I've already resigned! And I wrote a two-thousand-word letter, severely scolding that old hag! Damn it, she really treated me like a dog, doing six people's work for half a person's salary!"

Manager Wang Yanyan: "@Ox Horse is Truly an Ox? You don't want to work anymore! Are you still going to support your wife! Do you still want your child! Quickly write me a four-thousand-word self-criticism, otherwise, don't even think about getting your full attendance bonus this month!"

Ox Horse is Truly a Dog: "You can go screw yourself!"

Manager Wang Yanyan: "Alright, alright, Li Qiang, I see you really don't want to work anymore. Just wait to be fired!"

Little Grass: "Is it really okay for you to do this? What if all of this is fake?"

Unkillable Xiao Qiang: "Haven't you bound a Shelter yet? Quickly choose an item and bind a Shelter, and you'll see how magical it is! The doomsday is absolutely real!"

Little Grass: "I did bind one. I chose my cactus, and it said I got some S-rank Trait, Tenfold Crop Growth Speed, and an S-rank Talent, Wall of Thorns."

Ox Horse is Truly Ox Horse: "Sister! Sister, do you still remember me? I'm Little Dongdong. I even brought you breakfast before. Sister, please take me with you! Wuwu, I only have the F-rank Trait Lush Little Grass, and the F-rank Talent Grass Entanglement, wuwuwu."

Let's Jump Off a Building Together: "Oh my god, double S-rank! Sister Xiao Cao is definitely the protagonist of the doomsday! Sister Xiao Cao, please accept me, I have eight-pack abs, and I can even use my abs to wipe the floor!"

I Am Thanos Destroying the World: "Hehehe, I feel like mine isn't bad either. Shelter Trait A-rank Diamondization, and Talent is also A-rank Metal Manipulation."

Manager Wang Yanyan: "Hehe, don't give me any of these Traits or Talents. You still have to work honestly."

Black Magic is All F***ing Pitch Black: "You old hag, get lost. Even if I work, I won't be here with you. Damn it, last time I closed a big project worth eight million, and you old geezer only gave me eight hundred yuan! It wasn't even enough for me to buy them a cup of tea!"

Ox Horse is Truly Ox Horse (Evolved): "Brothers! Outside, the wind has picked up!"
