3: Chapter 3: Exchange for Everything, Build Facilities

【Base Desire Value: 99, Atmosphere Bonus: 30%】

【Total pleasure tokens obtained: 129 (rounded)】

"Wanwan, what are your attribute values?"

"Hmm, Constitution 3, Spirit 4, Luck 1..."

From beneath the quilt beside the pillow came a soft, sweet response.

"Only 3 Constitution? No wonder your stamina is so poor!"

"Get away from me! Who was the one who only lasted five minutes the first time!"

A small hand reached out and lightly pinched Lin Xiao's thigh.

The two of them laughed and playfully wrestled for a moment, as if this were just an ordinary night.

Lin Xiao reached out his hand toward Jiang Wanwan.

His palm rested on the quilt, feeling a softness like clouds.

At the same time, his gaze narrowed, and an information panel unfolded before his eyes.

【Passenger: Jiang Wanwan】

【Desire Value: 0/99 (will gradually recover within 12 hours)】

So, Desire Value has a recovery time. It seems he can't 'capture and release' seven times after all.

Just as he was thinking this, Jiang Wanwan suddenly turned around, covering herself with the quilt, her eyes sparkling.

"When did you become so skilled with your positions?"

"Practice makes perfect!" Lin Xiao gently caressed her face, saying with a straight face, "Don't worry, I will practice diligently in the future and strive to break the one-hour mark!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan directly covered her head with the quilt: "Ugh, you're so annoying..."

To outsiders, this was just a normal couple's playful banter, but in Lin Xiao's eyes, it was a regret he had held in his heart for many, many years.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, then shifted his gaze toward the mask icon.

【Territory Atmosphere: 30】

【pleasure tokens: 129】

【Mystery Shop: Level 1】

After obtaining pleasure tokens, the Mystery Shop was successfully unlocked.

【Mystery Shop: Level 1 (consumes 5 tokens to refresh)】

【Facility Blueprint - Iron Door (40 tokens): Trust me, a cold metal door panel can bring you the warmest sense of security】

【Sofa Recipe - White Quality (10 tokens): It might not be soft enough to sit on, but it's enough to make you think of home】

【Fantasy Potion - Constitution (70 tokens): A special potion that can increase Constitution attribute by 1 point. Oh, come on baby, have a few more shots, and really experience the pleasure brought by the transformation of flesh and blood!】

The Level 1 shop only opens three items at a time.

As for the prices...

White quality furniture costs 10 tokens, which is quite cheap.

But Lin Xiao had no intention of buying furniture for the time being.

On one hand, the sleeper compartment is really too small; it can't fit any other furniture at all.

On the other hand, zombies are swarming in the corridor. Compared to ordinary wooden sliding doors, an iron door can provide very good defensive effects.

A sense of security is a rare spiritual need in survival games, and facilities can also provide Atmosphere Value, so there is no need to waste 10 extra tokens.

Furthermore, there is one crucial reason.

Lin Xiao plans to collect materials first to build higher-level facilities as soon as possible.

Because the game has a settlement round every week.

If the conditions are met, the captain can upgrade the level of the Territory Core, and the facilities within the Territory Core will also be upgraded accordingly.

In this way, he can save a lot of resources and get a sturdier Level 3 door for free!

Lin Xiao decisively bought the Iron Door blueprint, then immediately turned his gaze to the Fantasy Potion.

He didn't expect the Mystery Shop to refresh this kind of supply.

In his past life, this thing was a top-tier hot commodity!

Don't look at it as just adding 1 point of Constitution; none of the various types of potions have a clear usage limit.

Therefore, as long as you use your money-powered ability, you can inject infinitely, and your attribute points will be maxed out!

Although Lin Xiao didn't have many tokens in his pocket, he wasn't stingy. With a wave of his hand, he directly bought the Fantasy Potion.

【pleasure tokens: 129】 → 【19】

【Facility Blueprint - Iron Door】

【Level: 2】

【Durability: 32】

【Trait: None】

【Construction Cost: Scrap Iron * 20, Wood * 5, Waste Plastic * 3 (can consume 14 tokens to offset materials and complete construction immediately)】

Hmm?

pleasure tokens have this kind of function too?

So that's what 'Exchanging for Everything' means!

Lin Xiao looked at the prompt that popped up in his field of vision, feeling extremely surprised and delighted.

"Aha, I get it now!"

He turned his head to look at Jiang Wanwan beside him.

It seems he will have to trouble Wanwan more in the future...

There was still movement from zombies in the corridor, but it was much quieter than when it first started; they must have been attracted to other passengers.

This is a good opportunity!

Lin Xiao immediately used the facility blueprint and consumed tokens to make up for all the construction materials.

【pleasure tokens: 19】 → 【5】

Afterward, with a soft 'click' sound.

The wooden sliding door trembled slightly and began to break from the inside out. A brand-new metal sliding door 'pushed open' from within just like that.

【Facility - Iron Door, construction complete】

【Wooden door recycled, obtained Wood * 6】

"What happened?"

Hearing the noise, Jiang Wanwan poked her eyes out from the quilt.

Seeing the brand-new iron door, she let out a small exclamation.

"It's nothing, I just upgraded the door; it's safer this way!" Lin Xiao responded.

【Atmosphere Value increased +】

【Territory Atmosphere: 30】 → 【46】

Another line of prompts appeared.

Atmosphere Value seems to have a certain connection with the territory's sense of security.

Lin Xiao pondered silently, then opened the Territory Panel:

【Territory Core: Level 1】

【Trait: None】

【Infrastructure >>>】

【Side Window (9/20): This is an old-fashioned glass window covered in cracks. Hopefully, it can withstand the baptism of the violent winds】

【Wall (17/30): A wall built with high-quality wood. It's a bit broken, but at least it can block some unknown threats】

【Iron Door (32/32): A durable iron sliding door. Before being destroyed, it performs very sturdily】

He looked at the iron door again.

【Facility: Iron Door】

【Level: 2】

【Defense: 17】

【Durability: 32/32】

【Trait: None】

With much higher defense and durability, he felt much more comfortable now!

However, besides the iron door, the territory had two other defensive facilities, but they were all in a severely damaged state.

【Repair materials needed: Glass * 11, Wood * 13】

Even after dismantling the original wooden door and obtaining 6 pieces of wood, it still wasn't nearly enough.

Thus, Lin Xiao skillfully opened the trading interface.

In the early stages of the game, wood is a material everyone needs, so the entire trading market is in short supply.

Moreover, most people choose the form of barter trading, but the requested item values are mostly quite outrageous.

One piece of wood for a bottle of water?

Two pieces of wood for a bag of bread?

Stop kidding, what fool would do that!

There are many ways to obtain materials. Besides the simplest online trading, monsters like zombies will also have certain drops.

But the most basic survival resources, such as water and food, must be explored in designated areas.

According to the train's survival rules, it will arrive at an unknown station every five days. Presumably, that is the area opened for exploration.

Five days, what a concept!

If you are unlucky and can't snatch water and food, you will have to starve to death in your territory. No matter how high the facility defense is, it's useless.

However, not everyone has the same thoughts as Lin Xiao.
