10: Upgrade your shelter! Looking for a trade with a pro!

"As expected!"

Su Lie's eyelids twitched when he saw this.

He immediately entered the Chat Channel.

[Current number of Survivors: 63.8 billion]

"Hiss! How long has it been? In just one night and one hundred days of time, nearly ten billion people have died?"

Su Lie gasped when he saw this.

His heart was deeply shaken.

"These people only died on the second day; they must have died from parasites in their food or water sources!"

Su Lie had a guess.

He entered the chat page.

He saw that the pinned announcement had been replaced by his reward notice again.

A large number of messages appeared below.

"I think this Mist World should just be renamed to the Su Lie Show! Brothers, you all need to work harder, don't always talk about Su Lie, Su Lie! I'm dying of jealousy!"

"Personal experience: There are a large number of parasites in the water, even boiling it doesn't work. I almost died, but fortunately I encountered a glowing fruit during the day, which saved me! It even raised my life to 200 points! Unfortunately, I didn't get the reward!"

"Boss Su Lie, do you want iron nails? I have 100 here, but I need safe, non-contaminated food! If you have any, you can trade with me, but I don't have any Mist Points!"

"Boss Su Lie! I have a building blueprint for a vegetable garden! Do you want it? I also need safe, non-contaminated food!"

"Boss Su Lie! How did you get past the guardian BOSS? I also found a Treasure Chest in the wild today, but that BOSS was very strong. I was no match for it and almost died there!"

"Boss Su Lie! I have 200 units of Stone here. I don't want wood, but I need safe, non-contaminated food!"

...A large number of Survivors sent trade requests to Su Lie.

Everyone was demanding non-contaminated food.

Obviously.

Everyone had already realized that most of the food in the Mist World could not be eaten.

Or rather, none of it could be eaten.

At least, Su Lie had never seen any food that could be eaten directly.

After a quick look, he sent a message to everyone: "I have a type of big hairy chestnut here, one can count as a full meal! The quantity is limited, and trades can only be made after 1 hour! I need iron nails, Stone, and blueprints!"

"If you have decided, I will exchange them at the cost of 10 big hairy chestnuts! Guaranteed safe and non-contaminated, with no parasites! There are no side effects after eating, absolutely green and safe food!"

He sent two messages in succession.

In that instant.

The entire Chat Channel completely exploded.

"Boss Su Lie! I have 1 monster crystal here, can I trade it for 10 big hairy chestnuts?"

"Boss Su Lie! Do you want seeds? I have 3 unknown seeds here, I only ask to trade for 3 big hairy chestnuts!"

"Boss Su Lie! I have 50 units of iron here! Do you want it?"

...In the blink of an eye, dense trading messages jumped into Su Lie's line of sight.

Seeing this, a smile curled at the corners of Su Lie's mouth: "It seems everyone is quite cautious about food! However, those who can survive until now are hardly useless!"

Next.

Su Lie used his Enhancement Talent on the bamboo tube.

Hum!

[bamboo tube: Green refined quality, capacity 70 liters. Special Effect Water Collection: Every 5 hours, it can condense 1 liter of clean dew.]

"Hiss! Good stuff! This bamboo tube must be traded for a Skill book!"

Seeing this, Su Lie gasped, and then excitedly enhanced the remaining 30 bamboo tubes, each 1 meter long and 30 centimeters wide.

However.

Not all bamboo tubes were upgraded with the Water Collection special effect.

Out of 30, only 5 obtained this special effect.

The rest obtained the Sturdy special effect.

Su Lie sighed and poured the Exorcism Holy Water from the purification bucket into one of the bamboo tubes.

Immediately after, he picked out half of the newly harvested mang insect chestnuts and put them into the bucket.

This time he brought back over 700 in total.

Plus yesterday's.

A total of over 1000 mang insect chestnuts.

He took out over 500 to purify as food.

The rest served as bait for harvesting insect molts.

He then cut off the bear skin.

And set the bear bones inside aside.

These bear skin and bear bones were both Green refined-grade materials.

After being enhanced by Su Lie, they both became Red God-level Quality materials.

[Burst Bear Skin: Red God-level Quality, Level 0 material, can be used to craft equipment and furniture. Special Effect Beast Repellent: Using this bear skin can make Mist beasts feel fear and retreat.]

[Scarlet Bear Bone: Red God-level Quality, Level 0 material, can be used to craft equipment, furniture, and other items. Special Effect Critical Hit: Using this bear bone can generate a 50% critical hit chance.]

There was only one bear skin, but 300 bear bones.

Looking at the giant bear skull that looked like a bowl, Su Lie hesitated repeatedly and finally gave up on using it as a bowl.

After he finished organizing this harvest.

It was already an hour later.

The purification bucket had already purified 541 mang insect chestnuts into hairy chestnuts.

Su Lie used his Enhancement Talent one by one to Enhance the hairy chestnuts into big hairy chestnuts.

Only then did he start listing them.

Before long.

He harvested 1000 units of Stone, 500 iron nails, 1 building blueprint, 300 units of iron, 3 seeds, and 100 monster crystals.

To obtain these resources, he only consumed 373 big hairy chestnuts and 523 Mist Points.

He now had 89 Mist Points left.

There were still many Survivors in the Chat Channel wanting to trade Stone and monster crystals for big hairy chestnuts.

Su Lie did not continue.

He did not want to expose the information that he possessed a large amount of food.

So, under the pretext that all the food had been traded away, he paused the trading.

At the moment.

He no longer hesitated.

First, he enhanced the Stone.

The enhanced Stone became Green refined quality Stone; it didn't have any other special effects, it was still just a material.

Seeing this, Su Lie opened the Shelter panel and started the upgrade.

[Hum!]

[Do you want to consume 100 units of Stone to upgrade your Shelter?]

"Yes!"

Su Lie responded without hesitation.

Hum!

In the blink of an eye.

Su Lie's Shelter doubled in size, from the original 30 square meters to 60 square meters.

The Shelter still had no windows.

"Did it only double in area?"

Su Lie muttered softly.

He looked at the Shelter panel.

[Solid Rune Shelter]

[Level: 1]

[Area: 60 square meters]

[Exorcism Rune: Level 1]

[Sturdiness: 600]

[Defense: 150]

[Safety Level: 1]

[Comfort: 0]

[Special Effect Repel: Can repel the invasion of low-level monsters]

[Upgrade: 500 stone, 10 monster crystals]

[Introduction: A very sturdy rune stone house. Although it can provide you with a safe environment, the space is limited and it cannot store too many resources.]

"This averages to 5 points of Sturdiness and 1 point of Defense for every Green refined quality Stone!"

Su Lie looked at the panel and calculated carefully.

After the Shelter was upgraded to Level 1, an area attribute was added.

Obviously.

The Level 0 Shelter panel did not have the function to display all data.

Only then did Su Lie start using his Enhancement Talent on the Shelter...
